these_o word_n for_o this_o we_o be_v to_o observe_v that_o the_o preacher_n have_v declare_v his_o own_o main_a scope_n and_o design_n in_o the_o beginning_n and_o conclusion_n of_o his_o book_n bring_v in_o sometime_o the_o different_a sense_n which_o mankind_n be_v apt_a to_o have_v concern_v the_o happiness_n of_o life_n and_o that_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o we_o meet_v with_o such_o

the_o lord_n but_o it_o shall_v not_o be_v well_o 13._o with_o the_o wicked_a how_o can_v such_o passage_n as_o these_o be_v reconcile_v if_o we_o look_v on_o they_o as_o express_v the_o sense_n of_o the_o same_o person_n but_o if_o we_o allow_v they_o to_o be_v the_o different_a notion_n of_o two_o sort_n of_o man_n in_o this_o world_n they_o be_v easy_a to_o be_v understand_v although_o not_o to_o be_v reconcile_v and_o the_o one_o sort_n be_v of_o those_o who_o place_n all_o happiness_n in_o this_o life_n without_o regard_n to_o religion_n or_o virtue_n or_o another_o world_n and_o the_o other_o of_o those_o who_o look_v on_o this_o life_n only_o as_o a_o passage_n to_o another_o and_o that_o all_o person_n ought_v to_o behave_v themselves_o here_o so_o as_o conduce_v most_o to_o their_o happiness_n hereafter_o and_o according_a to_o these_o different_a scheme_n we_o have_v in_o the_o word_n of_o the_o text_n two_o very_a different_a sort_n of_o counsel_n and_o advice_n to_o

of_o it_o rejoice_v o_o young_a man_n in_o thy_o youth_n and_o let_v thy_o heart_n cheer_v thou_o in_o the_o day_n of_o thy_o youth_n and_o walk_v in_o the_o way_n of_o thy_o heart_n and_o in_o the_o

be_v not_o other_o witness_n produce_v against_o they_o and_o the_o whole_a contrivance_n then_o lay_v open_a to_o prevent_v any_o far_a mischief_n but_o like_o guilty_a man_n they_o dare_v not_o go_v far_o into_o it_o only_o they_o endeavour_v to_o stop_v their_o mouth_n and_o charge_v they_o not_o to_o speak_v at_o all_o or_o teach_v in_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n 8._o but_o this_o will_v not_o

concern_v to_o disprove_v they_o and_o the_o apostle_n urge_v they_o before_o that_o council_n which_o have_v not_o long_o before_o contrive_v and_o porcure_v the_o death_n of_o christ_n and_o take_v great_a care_n to_o prevent_v the_o take_n away_o of_o the_o body_n when_o it_o be_v in_o the_o monument_n and_o now_o why_o shall_v it_o be_v think_v by_o any_o a_o thing_n incredible_a that_o god_n

sceptical_a 25._o age_n to_o this_o purpose_n be_v that_o the_o scripture_n itself_o own_v that_o some_o good_a man_n have_v be_v deceive_v in_o the_o same_o manner_n as_o abraham_n and_o lot_n take_v the_o 3._o angel_n for_o man_n and_o believe_v that_o they_o do_v eat_v but_o i_o will_v make_v it_o plain_a that_o there_o be_v a_o vast_a disparity_n in_o the_o case_n for_o 1._o here_o be_v a_o true_a and_o real_a body_n without_o dispute_n for_o it_o be_v not_o deny_v that_o christ_n do_v real_o suffer_v on_o the_o cross_n and_o be_v dead_a and_o bury_v but_o what_o become_v of_o the_o true_a body_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o other_o case_n either_o there_o be_v no_o real_a body_n at_o all_o but_o the_o angel_n assume_v such_o matter_n for_o the_o time_n which_o have_v all_o the_o appearance_n of_o humane_a body_n in_o speak_v walk_a and_o eat_v or_o if_o the_o body_n be_v real_a yet_o we_o read_v nothing_o as_o to_o any_o such_o circumstance_n of_o die_v and_o be_v bury_v as_o there_o be_v about_o christ_n body_n and_o there_o be_v some_o remarkable_a circumstance_n as_o to_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n which_o ought_v to_o be_v observe_v 1._o that_o there_o be_v infallible_a proof_n that_o he_o be_v real_o dead_a by_o the_o testimony_n st._n john_n give_v of_o his_o see_v the_o soldier_n pierce_v the_o pericardium_n with_o his_o 34._o lance_n which_o all_o agree_v to_o be_v a_o mortal_a and_o incurable_a wound_n if_o there_o have_v be_v life_n before_o and_o he_o add_v it_o because_o there_o be_v then_o some_o who_o deny_v that_o he_o real_o die_v on_o the_o cross._n 2._o that_o his_o body_n be_v lay_v in_o a_o new_a sepulchre_n cut_v out_o of_o a_o rock_n which_o be_v take_v notice_n of_o by_o three_o evangelist_n 51._o because_o it_o be_v not_o liable_a to_o any_o suspicion_n of_o practice_n by_o his_o disciple_n as_o to_o the_o convey_v away_o of_o the_o body_n by_o any_o other_o way_n than_o by_o the_o mouth_n of_o the_o sepulchre_n 3._o that_o the_o mouth_n of_o the_o sepulchre_n be_v close_v up_o with_o a_o stone_n which_o 66._o be_v seal_v and_o have_v a_o watch_n set_v to_o guard_n it_o so_o that_o here_o be_v all_o imaginable_a care_n take_v to_o prevent_v any_o take_n away_o the_o body_n out_o of_o the_o sepulchre_n 2._o the_o proof_n as_o to_o the_o truth_n of_o christ_n individual_a body_n after_o the_o resurrection_n be_v quite_o of_o another_o nature_n from_o those_o of_o the_o angel_n appear_v to_o eat_v with_o abraham_n and_o lot_n for_o this_o be_v a_o sudden_a action_n of_o they_o and_o not_o the_o main_a thing_n intend_v by_o they_o it_o be_v only_o to_o introduce_v the_o message_n they_o have_v to_o declare_v but_o in_o the_o case_n of_o our_o saviour_n the_o great_a business_n be_v to_o assure_v they_o of_o the_o truth_n of_o his_o resurrection_n therefore_o it_o be_v say_v that_o he_o show_v himself_o 3_o alive_a after_o his_o passion_n by_o many_o infallible_a proof_n be_v see_v of_o they_o

27._o his_o hand_n into_o his_o side_n can_v there_o be_v great_a proof_n of_o the_o same_o body_n than_o this_o so_o that_o either_o we_o must_v give_v over_o all_o evidence_n and_o proof_n of_o the_o same_o body_n or_o we_o must_v allow_v that_o it_o be_v give_v in_o the_o case_n of_o christ_n body_n and_o nothing_o but_o obstinate_a infidelity_n can_v make_v any_o objection_n against_o the_o way_n of_o proof_n suppose_v the_o matter_n of_o fact_n to_o be_v true_a as_o the_o evangelist_n relate_v it_o 2._o but_o if_o that_o be_v not_o allow_v than_o they_o must_v be_v charge_v with_o a_o design_n to_o deceive_v and_o abuse_v the_o world_n to_o which_o i_o shall_v only_o say_v at_o present_a these_o two_o thing_n 1._o that_o endless_a sufpition_n be_v a_o very_a unreasonable_a thing_n where_o there_o be_v no_o foundation_n for_o it_o as_o none_o can_v be_v assign_v as_o to_o the_o apostle_n either_o as_o to_o this_o world_n or_o another_o since_o they_o declare_v no_o

be_v the_o true_a reason_n why_o christ_n appear_v to_o they_o and_o not_o to_o his_o enemy_n 1._o the_o disciple_n themselves_o be_v asraid_a of_o be_v deceive_v this_o way_n and_o 37._o therefore_o
