sing_v with_o david_n my_o soul_n bless_v thou_o the_o lord_n which_o fyll_v thy_o mouth_n with_o good_a thing_n and_o make_v the_o young_a again_o like_o the_o egle._n and_o to_o this_o we_o have_v the_o prayer_n which_o the_o lord_n jesus_n make_v to_o his_o father_n for_o the_o same_o purpose_n sayinge_v father_n i_o desire_v that_o those_o which_o thou_o haste_v give_v i_o may_v be_v with_o i_o to_o see_v my_o glory_n now_o as_o we_o have_v suffitient_o prove_v the_o true_a doctrine_n touching_n the_o immortality_n of_o the_o soul_n so_o on_o the_o other_o side_n be_v it_o necessary_a to_o answer_v to_o those_o place_n which_o the_o anabaptiste_n do_v bring_v forth_o to_o ground_n their_o error_n on_o first_o they_o allege_v that_o the_o description_n which_o the_o scripture_n make_v of_o man_n soul_n agree_v with_o the_o same_o of_o beast_n as_o where_o it_o be_v say_v that_o god_n have_v create_v the_o great_a whale_n and_o every_o lyve_a soul_n also_o that_o the_o beast_n enter_v by_o couple_n into_o the_o ark_n all_o that_o have_v spirit_n of_o life_n and_o to_o confirm_v this_o they_o help_v themselves_o with_o that_o which_o faint_a paul_n say_v that_o in_o this_o life_n man_n be_v corruptible_a mortal_a and_o animal_n but_o he_o shall_v rise_v again_o incorruptible_a immortal_a and_o spiritual_a as_o it_o be_v write_v that_o the_o first_o man_n be_v make_v in_o a_o lyve_a soul_n i_o grant_v that_o this_o title_n of_o lyve_a soul_n be_v oftentimes_o attribute_v to_o beast_n because_o they_o also_o do_v live_v in_o their_o kind_n but_o there_o be_v great_a diversity_n between_o they_o and_o man_n for_o in_o man_n the_o soul_n by_o which_o he_o know_v judge_v and_o have_v discretion_n be_v call_v lyve_v the_o soul_n of_o beast_n have_v none_o other_o faculty_n but_o to_o gyve_v move_a unto_o their_o body_n therefore_o it_o be_v no_o marvel_n if_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n which_o have_v reason_n understanding_n will_n and_o other_o power_n distinct_a from_o the_o body_n do_v subsiste_v be_v separate_a from_o the_o body_n where_o as_o the_o soul_n of_o beast_n do_v perish_v for_o as_o much_o as_o they_o have_v only_o but_o corporal_a sense_n ☞_o for_o this_o cause_n sayncte_n paul_n allege_v the_o testimony_n of_o aratus_n a_o heathen_a poet_n which_o say_v that_o we_o be_v the_o lineage_n of_o god_n to_o declare_v the_o excellency_n of_o our_o soul_n touch_v that_o saint_n paul_n put_v difference_n between_o a_o live_n soul_n and_o a_o live_n spirit_n be_v not_o do_v to_o declare_v that_o the_o soul_n which_o we_o now_o have_v do_v perish_v but_o only_o to_o declare_v how_o much_o more_o power_n there_o shall_v be_v after_o the_o resurrection_n that_o be_v fowete_a that_o we_o shall_v be_v like_a unto_o the_o angel_n of_o god_n live_v without_o meat_n and_o dryncke_v not_o be_v subject_n to_o any_o mutation_n or_o fragility_n ☞_o they_o do_v yet_o further_o allege_v the_o u●sion_n of_o ezechyell_n where_o the_o prophet_n write_v of_o the_o resurrection_n do_v say_v that_o god_n call_v the_o spirit_n from_o the_o four_o wind_n to_o inspire_v life_n into_o the_o dead_a bone_n but_o the_o solution_n be_v easy_a that_o ezechyell_n after_o the_o manner_n accustom_v of_o the_o prophet_n use_v a_o exterioure_fw-fr fygure_n to_o signify_v the_o foul_a of_o man_n as_o in_o his_o first_o vision_n speak_v of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n he_o call_v he_o also_o wound_n who_o so_o will_v upon_o that_o reason_n that_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n be_v not_o a_o essence_n be_v farrre_v wide_o therefore_o it_o be_v great_a folye_n of_o these_o mad_a man_n that_o they_o do_v not_o observe_v this_o manner_n of_o speech_n which_o be_v so_o common_a through_o out_o all_o the_o whole_a scripture_n ☞_o their_o three_o argument_n be_v that_o though_o the_o soul_n be_v create_v immortal_a yet_o through_o sin_n she_o have_v last_o her_o immortalitye_n as_o sayncte_n paul_n do_v say_v that_o the_o reward_n of_o sin_n be_v death_n but_o first_o i_o ask_v whether_o the_o devil_n have_v not_o receyve_v the_o same_o reward_n and_o yet_o be_v he_o not_o so_o dead_a but_o that_o he_o always_o watch_v and_o buselye_o seek_v who_o he_o may_v devour_v secondely_n i_o ask_v whether_o this_o death_n take_v end_n or_o no_o for_o if_o it_o have_v no_o enden_fw-ge will_n they_o nyl_o they_o they_o must_v needs_o grant_v i_o that_o the_o soul_n through_o death_n do_v not_o cease_v to_o feel_v the_o eternal_a fire_n and_o the_o worm_n that_o gnaw_v theym_a it_o appear_v therefore_o that_o the_o soul_n do_v not_o so_o dye_v but_o that_o she_o have_v feel_v of_o her_o evyll_n touch_v the_o body_n it_o be_v say_v that_o it_o shall_v return_v to_o the_o earth_n whence_o it_o be_v come_v there_o to_o rote_n but_o the_o death_n of_o the_o soul_n be_v to_o be_v put_v from_o god_n and_o to_o be_v confound_v with_o the_o feeling_n of_o his_o ire_n as_o the_o apostle_n declare_v sayinge_v awake_v thou_o that_o sleap_a rise_v from_o death_n and_o christ_n shall_v illumine_v the._n it_o be_v evidente_a that_o he_o speak_v not_o to_o the_o insensible_a body_n but_o unto_o those_o which_o be_v bury_v in_o sin_n do_v bear_v death_n and_o hell_n with_o they_o moreover_o we_o have_v already_o show_v that_o that_o thing_n which_o we_o have_v lose_v in_o adam_n be_v restore_v in_o jesus_n christ_n for_o that_o thing_n which_o be_v show_v before_o by_o the_o prophet_n that_o he_o shall_v destroy_v death_n for_o ever_o and_o that_o he_o shall_v swallow_v it_o up_o the_o apostle_n have_v declare_v that_o it_o be_v fulfyl_v he_o have_v destroy_v death_n say_v saint_n paul_n and_o have_v give_v life_n through_o the_o gospel_n again_o if_o death_n have_v reygn_v through_o one_o man_n fault_n they_o which_o have_v receyve_v abundance_n of_o grace_n shall_v reign_v in_o life_n through_o jesus_n christ_n this_o one_o sentence_n be_v sufficient_a to_o stop_v their_o mouth_n for_o sing_v that_o the_o death_n which_o be_v come_v through_o adam_n be_v abolish_v by_o christ_n the_o whole_a question_n lie_v in_o the_o comparison_n which_o saint_a paul_n make_v there_o which_o be_v that_o the_o virtue_n of_o jesus_n christ_n be_v of_o great_a strengthe_n to_o restore_v they_o be_v adam_n to_o destroy_v which_o thing_n in_o that_o place_n he_o do_v well_o declare_v and_o follow_v that_o which_o he_o speak_v he_o add_v further_a after_o that_o there_o be_v no_o damnation_n to_o theym_v which_o be_v in_o christ_n jesus_n which_o walk_v not_o after_o the_o flesh_n and_o in_o deed_n if_o death_n shall_v have_v dominion_n over_o the_o soul_n of_o the_o fayethfull_a the_o grace_n of_o god_n shall_v not_o have_v his_o reign_n which_o import_v life_n as_o he_o say_v but_o rather_o the_o law_n of_o god_n shall_v exercise_v her_o power_n over_o they_o which_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o whole_a doctrine_n of_o the_o scripture_n ¶_o they_o do_v also_o abuse_v theim selue_o with_o this_o that_o oftentimes_o this_o word_n sleep_n be_v token_n for_o death_n as_o where_o it_o be_v say_v of_o saint_n stephan_n that_o he_o fall_v a_o sleep_v in_o the_o lord_n again_o lazarus_n our_o friend_n slepe_v again_o sorrow_n you_o not_o for_o they_o that_o sleep_n and_o in_o deed_n this_o manner_n of_o speech_n be_v more_o frequent_a in_o the_o history_n of_o the_o bible_n than_o any_o other_o i_o answer_v that_o this_o sleep_v appertain_v nothing_o unto_o the_o soul_n but_o ought_v whole_o to_o be_v understand_v of_o the_o body_n for_o there_o be_v two_o speech_n which_o do_v understande_v in_o oneself_o sense_n to_o sleep_v with_o his_o father_n and_o to_o be_v with_o his_o father_n now_o when_o it_o be_v say_v that_o a_o man_n be_v put_v unto_o his_o father_n it_o be_v plain_a that_o it_o be_v mean_v of_o his_o sepulchre_n i_o will_v have_v no_o man_n believe_v this_o except_o i_o can_v prove_v my_o sayinge_v by_o good_a wytnes_n of_o the_o scripture_n when_o job_n say_v behold_v i_o sleep_v in_o dust_n he_o mean_v not_o that_o his_o soul_n shall_v sleep_v ther._n so_o when_o he_o say_v in_o a_o other_o place_n that_o all_o man_n shall_v sleep_v in_o the_o dust_n together_o and_o that_o the_o worm_n shall_v cover_v they_o it_o may_v not_o be_v understande_v out_o of_o the_o body_n a_o like_o mean_v be_v in_o these_o word_n of_o david_n where_o he_o say_v that_o he_o be_v like_a unto_o the_o dead_a sleapinge_n in_o then_o sepulcher_n and_o esayas_n speak_v to_o nabuchodonosor_n say_v all_o other_o king_n have_v slepte_v in_o their_o glory_n and_o be_v put_v into_o their_o place_n but_o thou_o be_v cast_v out_o of_o thy_o sepulchre_n ☞_o therefore_o in_o a_o some_o we_o see_v that_o this_o word_n sleep_n be_v by_o similitude_n apply_v unto_o

so_o much_o as_o what_o this_o name_n martion_n be_v it_o be_v good_a therefore_o that_o as_o well_o they_o as_o other_o be_v advertise_v that_o the_o first_o author_n of_o this_o opinion_n where_o with_o they_o do_v trouble_v the_o world_n be_v cast_v out_o and_o accurse_v with_o his_o opnion_n not_o of_o a_o few_o but_o of_o the_o whole_a christian_a church_n short_o after_o that_o be_v with_o in_o forty_o yerre_n after_o the_o death_n of_o the_o apostelle_n for_o eusebyus_n and_o saint_n hierome_n do_v write_v that_o policarpe_a disciple_n and_o familiar_a friend_n of_o saint_n john_n

well_o pluck_v out_o man_n shall_v well_o know_v i_o trust_v that_o heard_o may_v there_o be_v find_v any_o one_o more_o execrable_a ☞_o first_o i_o will_v show_v by_o many_o and_o very_o sure_a testimony_n of_o scripture_n that_o the_o lord_n jesus_n do_v verilye_o take_v flesh_n and_o man_n nature_n when_o he_o be_v revel_v unto_o we_o in_o this_o world_n by_o god_n his_o father_n and_o i_o will_v prove_v it_o so_o playnelye_o that_o there_o shall_v not_o be_v so_o little_a a_o child_n which_o shall_v not_o perceyve_v that_o it_o shall_v be_v to_o great_a a_o impudency_n for_o the_o anabaptiste_n to_o kick_v any_o more_o against_o it_o as_o it_o shall_v not_o be_v needful_a to_o gather_v all_o the_o place_n of_o scripture_n which_o may_v serve_v to_o this_o purpose_n so_o to_o avoid_v prolixity_n i_o will_v take_v those_o which_o seem_v to_o be_v most_o covenable_a we_o know_v that_o at_o the_o first_o beginning_n of_o the_o world_n the_o lord_n promise_v heva_fw-la that_o her_o seed_n shall_v over_o come_v the_o serpent_n let_v we_o see_v if_o this_o be_v accomplish_v in_o we_o or_o whether_o it_o have_v ever_o be_v accomplish_v in_o any_o mortal_a man_n but_o only_o by_o the_o mean_n of_o jesus_n christ_n which_o have_v for_o we_o vanquish_v and_o overcome_v satan_n but_o because_o this_o promise_n be_v yet_o somewhat_o obscure_a it_o have_v be_v sense_n make_v much_o more_o clear_a both_o to_o abraham_n and_o jacob_n when_o it_o be_v say_v un_o they_o that_o in_o there_o sede_fw-la all_o the_o nation_n of_o the_o earth_n shall_v be_v bless_v ☞_o now_o this_o seed_n as_o sayncte_n paulle_a do_v interpret_v it_o and_o reason_n show_v the_o same_o be_v jesus_n christ_n therefore_o the_o promise_n can_v otherwise_o be_v verify_v but_o that_o jesus_n christis_fw-la descend_v of_o the_o stock_n of_o abraham_n likewise_o when_o it_o be_v say_v unto_o david_n i_o will_v set_v the_o fruit_n of_o thy_o womb_n upon_o they_o seat_n to_o reign_v ever_o lastinge_o and_o likewise_o when_o in_o the_o same_o sense_n it_o be_v confirm_v by_o the_o prophet_n esaias_n that_o he_o shall_v be_v as_o a_o bud_n procede_v out_o of_o the_o rooett_n of_o i_o say_v we_o know_v that_o the_o same_o can_v be_v otherwise_o understand_v than_o of_o the_o same_o redeemer_n which_o be_v promise_v unto_o abraham_n therefore_o it_o must_v need_v be_v that_o he_o be_v of_o the_o line_n of_o davyd_v as_o touching_n the_o generation_n of_o the_o flesh_n or_o else_o the_o promise_n be_v void_a for_o this_o cause_n sayncte_n matthew_n go_v about_o to_o recite_v his_o genealogy_n begin_v the_o call_n he_o the_o son_n david_n the_o son_n of_o abraham_n that_o he_o may_v the_o more_o express_o specifye_v that_o he_o be_v the_o self_n same_o that_o be_v promise_v and_o in_o deed_n it_o be_v a_o manner_n of_o speech_n very_o common_o use_v among_o the_o people_n of_o the_o jew_n so_o to_o name_v he_o as_o we_o may_v see_v by_o the_o evangelist_n ¶_o unto_o all_o this_o the_o anabaptiste_n make_v one_o soluation_n the_o which_o a_o lone_a do_v sufficient_o declare_v what_o beast_n they_o be_v and_o how_o desperate_a their_o impudency_n be_v he_o be_v say_v they_o call_v davidde_v son_n not_o because_o that_o he_o take_v any_o thing_n of_o the_o virgin_n marye_n or_o that_o he_o be_v make_v man_n of_o her_o substance_n but_o only_o because_o she_o bear_v he_o in_o her_o body_n as_o water_n pass_v by_o a_o pipe_n this_o may_v be_v say_v if_o this_o word_n seed_n be_v not_o express_v how_o be_v it_o touching_n the_o truth_n all_o man_n of_o good_a judgement_n may_v see_v that_o it_o be_v but_o a_o crafty_a evation_n notwythstand_v there_o may_v be_v a_o little_a more_o colour_n or_o shadow_n but_o sing_v this_o be_v so_o often_o repete_v that_o he_o be_v of_o the_o seed_n of_o abraham_n what_o cavilation_n can_v be_v make_v to_o deny_v he_o to_o be_v very_a man_n and_o in_o dead_a when_o esaias_n promise_v his_o come_v he_o say_v

her_o seed_n as_o they_o which_o do_v know_v the_o signification_n of_o the_o word_n can_v well_o judg._n ☞_o moreover_o saint_a paul_n do_v express_v this_o thing_n more_o playnelye_o when_o he_o say_v that_o he_o be_v make_v of_o the_o seed_n of_o david_n touching_n the_o flesh_n and_o be_v notwithstanding_o declare_v the_o son_n of_o god_n by_o his_o power_n behold_v jesus_n christ_n on_o the_o one_o part_n be_v call_v the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o again_o he_o add_v that_o as_o touch_v his_o human_a nature_n he_o be_v of_o the_o stock_n of_o david_n be_v not_o that_o man_n very_o mad_a which_o do_v close_o his_o eye_n and_o stop_v his_o ear_n against_o all_o this_o to_o persist_v &_o maintain_v the_o contrary_a that_o jesus_n christ_n have_v no_o part_n of_o the_o nature_n of_o man_n as_o touch_v the_o substance_n of_o his_o body_n likewise_o in_o a_o other_o place_n the_o same_o apostle_n speak_v of_o the_o dignity_n and_o nobleness_n of_o the_o jew_n among_o other_o thing_n say_v that_o they_o be_v the_o successor_n and_o progeny_n of_o the_o father_n of_o who_o christ_n be_v ascend_v as_o touching_n the_o flesh_n i_o pass_v over_o many_o other_o place_n as_o where_o he_o say_v that_o god_n be_v manifest_v in_o flesh_n also_o he_o that_o suffer_v in_o humility_n of_o the_o flesh_n likewise_o where_o faint_a john_n say_v that_o the_o word_n be_v make_v

this_o we_o may_v conclude_v that_o the_o great_a benefit_n which_o we_o may_v have_v shall_v be_v take_v from_o we_o if_o jesus_n christ_n do_v not_o communicate_v with_o we_o in_o flesh_n and_o
