to_o give_v a_o account_n of_o what_o they_o have_v do_v in_o the_o body_n whether_o it_o be_v good_a or_o evil_n and_o so_o i_o come_v to_o the_o four_o reason_n to_o prove_v the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o body_n which_o be_v reas_n 4._o four_o because_o the_o same_o it_o which_o be_v sow_o in_o corruption_n the_o same_o it_o rise_v in_o incorruption_n and_o every_o seed_n shall_v have_v its_o own_o body_n as_o say_v saint_n paul_n 1_o cor._n 15.42_o so_o also_o be_v the_o resurrection_n it_o be_v sow_o in_o corruption_n it_o be_v raise_v in_o incorruption_n for_o this_o corruptible_fw-fr must_v put_v on_o incorruption_n and_o this_o mortal_a must_v put_v on_o immortality_n so_o when_o this_o corruptible_a have_v put_v on_o incorruption_n and_o this_o mortal_a shall_v have_v put_v on_o immortality_n then_o shall_v be_v bring_v to_o pass_v the_o say_n that_o be_v write_v death_n be_v swallow_v up_o in_o victory_n o_o death_n where_o be_v thy_o sting_n o_o grave_a where_o be_v thy_o victory_n which_o clear_o prove_v that_o the_o same_o that_o go_v to_o the_o dust_n the_o same_o rise_v again_o out_o of_o the_o dust_n only_o the_o corruption_n put_v on_o incorruption_n and_o the_o mortal_a put_n on_o immortality_n which_o can_v be_v understand_v another_o body_n but_o the_o same_o body_n neither_o can_v it_o be_v true_a which_o be_v say_v death_n be_v swallow_v up_o in_o victory_n no_o for_o if_o the_o dead_a body_n rise_v not_o out_o of_o the_o grave_n than_o the_o grave_n have_v victory_n and_o be_v not_o conquer_v so_o as_o to_o be_v say_v o_o

these_o and_o many_o more_o scripture_n that_o may_v be_v add_v we_o may_v see_v that_o the_o candlestick_n with_o the_o lamp_n and_o pipe_n viz._n the_o minister_a vessel_n unto_o the_o lamp_n and_o candelstick_a be_v the_o same_o that_o god_n show_v unto_o moses_n in_o the_o pattern_n and_o appoint_v it_o to_o remain_v in_o the_o temple_n and_o after_o that_o pattern_n it_o be_v make_v in_o

haggai_n who_o speak_v of_o one_o and_o the_o same_o thing_n he_o will_v tell_v we_o that_o zerubbabel_n and_o joshua_n according_a to_o zechariahs_n word_n that_o he_o shall_v lay_v the_o

it_o relate_v only_o to_o the_o rebuild_n of_o jerusalem_n and_o the_o temple_n at_o the_o end_n of_o the_o seventy_o year_n captivity_n but_o in_o it_o be_v a_o prophecy_n of_o the_o redify_n of_o the_o city_n and_o temple_n destroy_v since_o by_o titus_n vespasian_n which_o be_v yet_o to_o be_v build_v again_o according_a to_o the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n rev._n 11._o but_o more_o of_o that_o anon_o but_o in_o a_o short_a sentence_n i_o further_o add_v this_o as_o a_o reason_n to_o prove_v that_o the_o prophecy_n of_o zechariah_n chap._n 4._o most_o primely_a relate_v to_o the_o redify_n of_o jerusalem_n at_o their_o come_n out_o of_o the_o seventy_o year_n of_o captivity_n because_o that_o both_o haggai_n and_o zechariah_n have_v the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n come_v to_o they_o both_o at_o that_o time_n as_o to_o haggai_n the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n come_v to_o he_o in_o the_o six_o &_o seven_o month_n in_o the_o second_o year_n of_o darius_n chap._n 1.1_o chap._n 2.1_o and_o to_o zechariah_n it_o come_v in_o the_o eight_o month_n in_o the_o same_o year_n zech._n 1.1_o and_o the_o work_n of_o both_o prophet_n be_v to_o stir_v up_o the_o people_n to_o the_o work_n of_o building_n of_o the_o house_n of_o god_n for_o they_o be_v hinder_v by_o subtlety_n in_o the_o day_n of_o cyrus_n because_o that_o zerubbabel_n and_o joshua_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o chief_a of_o the_o father_n will_v not_o let_v the_o people_n of_o the_o land_n build_v with_o they_o as_o you_o may_v see_v at_o large_a in_o ezra_n 4.1_o 2_o 3_o 4_o 5_o 6._o that_o they_o at_o

that_o what_o i_o have_v say_v be_v undeniable_o true_a and_o that_o be_v the_o thing_n that_o zechariah_n speak_v of_o in_o chap._n 4._o which_o mr._n henden_fw-ge will_v have_v to_o be_v a_o
