another_o life_n though_o indeed_o it_o be_v quite_o of_o another_o kind_n and_o infinite_o great_a than_o the_o great_a worldly_a happiness_n these_o be_v only_o little_a comparison_n to_o help_v our_o weak_a apprehension_n and_o childish_a fancy_n but_o we_o shall_v never_o true_o and_o full_o know_v the_o glory_n of_o the_o other_o world_n till_o we_o come_v to_o enjoy_v they_o it_o do_v not_o yet_o appear_v what_o we_o shall_v be_v from_o the_o description_n which_o the_o scripture_n give_v of_o the_o other_o world_n as_o from_o a_o map_n of_o a_o unknown_a country_n we_o may_v frame_v in_o our_o mind_n a_o rude_a confuse_a idea_n and_o conception_n of_o it_o and_o from_o thence_o as_o moses_n from_o the_o top_n of_o mount_n pisgah_n may_v take_v some_o little_a imperfect_a prospect_n of_o the_o land_n of_o promise_n but_o we_o shall_v never_o have_v a_o complete_a notion_n of_o it_o till_o we_o ourselves_o be_v enter_v into_o it_o however_o so_o much_o of_o our_o future_a happiness_n be_v reveal_v to_o we_o as_o may_v be_v sufficient_a to_o raise_v our_o thought_n and_o affection_n above_o the_o empty_a shadow_n and_o fade_a beauty_n and_o flatter_a glory_n of_o this_o low_a world_n to_o make_v we_o sensible_a how_o mean_a and_o trifle_a our_o present_a joy_n and_o fatisfaction_n be_v and_o to_o excite_v and_o engage_v our_o best_a and_o most_o hearty_a endeavour_n towards_o the_o attainment_n of_o it_o whatever_o difficulty_n and_o discouragement_n we_o may_v meet_v with_o in_o this_o life_n though_o all_o that_o can_v be_v say_v or_o we_o can_v possible_o know_v of_o it_o come_v infinite_o short_a of_o what_o one_o day_n we_o shall_v feel_v and_o perceive_v and_o be_v real_o possess_v of_o have_v premise_v this_o i_o come_v to_o consider_v what_o change_n shall_v be_v wrought_v in_o our_o body_n at_o the_o resurrection_n which_o be_v no_o small_a part_n of_o our_o future_a happiness_n now_o this_o change_n according_a to_o the_o account_n the_o scripture_n give_v of_o it_o will_v consist_v chief_o in_o these_o four_o thing_n 1._o that_o our_o body_n shall_v be_v raise_v immortal_a and_o incorruptible_a 2._o that_o they_o shall_v be_v raise_v in_o glory_n 3._o that_o they_o shall_v be_v raise_v in_o power_n 4._o that_o they_o shall_v be_v raise_v spiritual_a body_n all_o which_o property_n of_o our_o glorify_a body_n be_v mention_v by_o st._n paul_n in_o this_o chapter_n verse_n 42_o 43_o 44._o so_o also_o be_v the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o dead_a it_o be_v sow_o in_o corruption_n it_o be_v raise_v in_o

spiritual_a body_n and_o the_o explication_n of_o these_o word_n will_v give_v we_o the_o difference_n between_o the_o glorify_a body_n which_o we_o shall_v have_v in_o heaven_n and_o that_o mortal_a flesh_n and_o vile_a earth_n which_o we_o be_v now_o burden_a with_o 1._o the_o body_n which_o we_o shall_v have_v at_o the_o resurrection_n will_v be_v immortal_a and_o incorruptible_a verse_n 53._o for_o this_o corruptible_a must_v put_v on_o incorruption_n and_o this_o mortal_a must_v put_v on_o immortality_n now_o these_o word_n immortal_a and_o incorruptible_a do_v not_o only_o signify_v that_o we_o shall_v die_v no_o more_o for_o in_o that_o sense_n the_o body_n of_o the_o damn_a be_v also_o raise_v immortal_a and_o incorruptible_a since_o they_o must_v live_v for_o ever_o though_o it_o be_v in_o intolerable_a pain_n and_o misery_n but_o they_o denote_v far_o a_o perfect_a freedom_n from_o all_o those_o bodily_a evil_n which_o sin_n have_v bring_v into_o the_o world_n and_o from_o whatever_o be_v penal_a afflictive_a or_o uneasy_a to_o we_o that_o our_o body_n shall_v not_o be_v subject_a to_o pain_n or_o disease_n or_o those_o other_o inconvenience_n to_o which_o they_o be_v now_o daily_o obnoxious_a this_o be_v call_v in_o scripture_n the_o redemption_n of_o our_o body_n the_o free_v they_o from_o all_o those_o evil_n and_o malady_n which_o they_o be_v here_o subject_a unto_o be_v we_o at_o the_o general_a resurrection_n to_o receive_v the_o same_o body_n again_o subject_n to_o those_o frailty_n and_o misery_n which_o in_o this_o state_n we_o be_v force_v to_o wrestle_v with_o i_o much_o doubt_v whether_o a_o wise_a consider_v person_n be_v it_o leave_v to_o his_o choice_n will_v willing_o take_v it_o again_o whether_o he_o will_v not_o choose_v to_o let_v it_o lie_v still_o rot_v in_o the_o grave_n rather_o than_o consent_v to_o be_v again_o fetter_v down_o and_o bind_v fast_o to_o all_o eternity_n to_o such_o a_o cumbersome_a clod_n of_o earth_n

consist_v and_o if_o any_o one_o of_o these_o be_v disorder_v the_o whole_a man_n suffer_v with_o it_o if_o but_o one_o of_o those_o slender_a vein_n or_o tender_a membrane_n or_o little_a nerve_n

what_o torment_n and_o anguish_n do_v it_o create_v how_o do_v it_o pierce_v our_o soul_n with_o grief_n and_o pain_n nay_o when_o our_o body_n be_v at_o their_o best_a what_o pain_n do_v we_o take_v to_o what_o drudgery_n be_v we_o force_v to_o submit_v to_o serve_v their_o necessity_n to_o provide_v for_o their_o sustenance_n and_o supply_v their_o want_n to_o repair_v their_o decay_n to_o

to_o or_o be_v solicitous_a about_o and_o all_o this_o only_a to_o supply_v ourselves_o with_o food_n and_o raiment_n and_o other_o convenience_n for_o this_o mortal_a life_n and_o to_o make_v

foot_n say_v he_o that_o it_o be_v i_o myself_o handle_v i_o and_o see_v for_o a_o spirit_n have_v not_o flesh_n and_o bone_n as_o you_o see_v i_o have_v from_o whence_o it_o seem_v to_o follow_v that_o we_o in_o our_o resurrection_n shall_v be_v conformable_a to_o our_o saviour_n and_o resume_v the_o very_a same_o body_n that_o be_v lay_v in_o the_o sepulchre_n 5._o and_o last_o it_o be_v far_a urge_v by_o some_o of_o the_o ancient_n for_o a_o proof_n of_o the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o same_o body_n that_o the_o exact_a justice_n and_o righteousness_n of_o god_n do_v require_v it_o that_o god_n justice_n i_o mean_v that_o which_o consist_v in_o the_o equal_a dispensation_n of_o reward_n and_o punishment_n will_v seem_v to_o be_v much_o obscure_v at_o least_o will_v not_o be_v so_o illustrious_o manifest_v and_o display_v to_o the_o world_n unless_o the_o same_o body_n of_o flesh_n be_v raise_v again_o that_o so_o that_o which_o be_v here_o the_o constant_a partner_n with_o the_o soul_n in_o all_o her_o action_n whether_o good_a or_o evil_n may_v also_o hereafter_o share_v with_o she_o in_o her_o reward_n or_o punishment_n it_o seem_v but_o equal_a that_o we_o shall_v be_v punish_v in_o the_o same_o body_n in_o which_o we_o sin_v and_o that_o that_o very_a flesh_n in_o which_o we_o please_v god_n shall_v be_v exalt_v and_o glorify_v at_o the_o last_o day_n and_o receive_v a_o just_a recompense_n of_o reward_n for_o all_o the_o trouble_n and_o hardship_n it_o undergo_v in_o this_o life_n thus_o i_o have_v give_v you_o a_o brief_a account_n of_o this_o strict_a sense_n of_o the_o article_n of_o the_o resurrection_n namely_o that_o the_o very_a selfsame_a lesh_z and_o blood_n which_o make_v up_o our_o body_n here_o on_o earth_n shall_v be_v raise_v again_o at_o the_o last_o day_n and_o after_o it_o have_v be_v change_v and_o glorify_v by_o the_o power_n and_o spirit_n of_o christ_n i_o speak_v only_o of_o the_o body_n of_o good_a man_n shall_v ascend_v up_o into_o heaven_n and_o there_o live_v and_o dwell_v for_o ever_o in_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n i_o come_v now_o to_o show_v that_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o all_o this_o impossible_a or_o incredible_a which_o i_o shall_v do_v by_o prove_v these_o three_o thing_n 1._o that_o it_o be_v possible_a for_o god_n to_o observe_v and_o distinguish_v and_o preserve_v unmixed_a from_o all_o other_o body_n the_o particular_a dust_n and_o atom_n into_o which_o the_o several_a body_n of_o man_n be_v dissolve_v and_o to_o recollect_v and_o unite_v they_o together_o how_o far_o soever_o disperse_v asunder_o 2._o that_o god_n can_v form_v that_o dust_n so_o recollect_v together_o of_o which_o the_o body_n do_v former_o consist_v into_o the_o same_o body_n it_o be_v before_o and_o 3._o that_o when_o he_o have_v make_v this_o body_n he_o can_v enliven_v it_o and_o make_v it_o the_o same_o live_a man_n by_o unite_n it_o to_o the_o same_o soul_n and_o spirit_n that_o use_v former_o to_o inhabit_v there_o it_o can_v be_v deny_v but_o that_o these_o three_o thing_n do_v express_v the_o whole_a of_o the_o resurrection_n of_o our_o flesh_n in_o the_o strict_a sense_n and_o none_o of_o these_o be_v impossible_a 1._o god_n can_v observe_v and_o distinguish_v and_o preserve_v unmixed_a from_o all_o other_o body_n the_o particular_a dust_n and_o atom_n into_o which_o the_o several_a body_n of_o man_n be_v dissolve_v and_o recollect_v and_o unite_v they_o together_o how_o far_o soever_o disperse_v asunder_o god_n be_v infinite_a in_o wisdom_n power_n and_o knowledge_n he_o know_v the_o number_n of_o the_o star_n and_o call_v they_o all_o by_o their_o name_n he_o measure_v the_o water_n in_o the_o hollow_a of_o his_o hand_n and_o mete_n out_o the_o heaven_n with_o a_o span_n and_o comprehend_v the_o dust_n of_o the_o earth_n in_o a_o measure_n he_o number_v the_o hair_n of_o our_o head_n and_o not_o so_o much_o as_o a_o sparrow_n fall_v to_o the_o ground_n without_o his_o knowledge_n he_o can_v tell_v the_o number_n of_o the_o sand_n of_o the_o seashore_n as_o the_o heathen_n use_v to_o express_v the_o immensity_n of_o his_o knowledge_n and_o be_v it_o at_o all_o incredible_a that_o such_o a_o infinite_a understanding_n shall_v distinct_o know_v the_o several_a particle_n of_o dust_n into_o which_o the_o body_n of_o man_n be_v moulder_a and_o plain_o discern_v to_o who_o they_o belong_v and_o observe_v the_o various_a change_n they_o undergo_v in_o their_o passage_n through_o several_a body_n why_o shall_v it_o be_v think_v strange_a that_o he_o who_o at_o first_o form_v we_o who_o eye_n do_v see_v our_o substance_n yet_o be_v imperfect_a and_o in_o who_o book_n all_o our_o member_n be_v write_v from_o who_o our_o substance_n be_v not_o hide_v when_o we_o be_v make_v in_o secret_a and_o curious_o wrought_v in_o the_o low_a part_n of_o the_o earth_n shall_v know_v every_o part_n of_o our_o body_n and_o every_o atom_n whereof_o they_o be_v compose_v the_o curious_a artist_n know_v every_o pin_n and_o part_n of_o the_o watch_n or_o machine_n which_o he_o frame_v and_o if_o the_o little_a engine_n shall_v fall_v in_o piece_n and_o all_o the_o part_n of_o it_o lie_v in_o the_o great_a disorder_n and_o confusion_n yet_o he_o can_v soon_o rally_v they_o together_o and_o as_o easy_o distinguish_v one_o from_o another_o as_o if_o every_o one_o have_v its_o particular_a mark_n he_o know_v the_o use_n of_o every_o part_n can_v ready_o assign_v to_o each_o its_o proper_a place_n and_o exact_o dispose_v they_o into_o the_o
