pattern_n of_o his_o own_o resurrection_n in_o this_o argument_n of_o our_o apostle_n we_o may_v take_v notice_n of_o two_o assertion_n the_o first_o of_o they_o be_v that_o this_o vile_a body_n which_o we_o carry_v about_o here_o be_v to_o rise_v again_o and_o to_o be_v rebuilt_a after_o the_o likeness_n of_o the_o glorious_a body_n of_o christ_n and_o if_o it_o be_v otherwise_o it_o be_v not_o easy_o conceivable_a how_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o resurrection_n can_v be_v proper_o maintain_v for_o that_o only_o can_v just_o be_v say_v to_o rise_v again_o which_o be_v fall_v and_o

of_o the_o nail_n and_o be_v we_o not_o to_o be_v raise_v after_o the_o same_o model_n and_o he_o have_v tell_v we_o that_o all_o that_o be_v in_o the_o grave_n shall_v hear_v his_o voice_n 29._o joh._n 5.28_o 29._o and_o shall_v come_v forth_o unto_o the_o resurrection_n either_o of_o life_n or_o of_o damnation_n and_o his_o apostle_n have_v teach_v we_o that_o this_o corruptible_fw-fr must_v
