well_o what_o to_o hold_v or_o affirm_v have_v leave_v the_o question_n undecided_a now_o as_o to_o what_o concern_v the_o bosom_n of_o abraham_n as_o when_o our_o lord_n say_v mat._n 8._o 11._o that_o many_o shall_v come_v from_o the_o east_n and_o west_n and_o shall_v sit_v down_o with_o abraham_n isaac_n and_o jacob._n he_o never_o intend_v to_o design_n or_o determine_v the_o place_n

heaven_n and_o not_o from_o those_o and_o shall_v sit_v with_o abraham_n isaac_n and_o jacob_n so_o there_o be_v no_o appearance_n that_o he_o intend_v to_o determine_v any_o certain_a place_n by_o those_o word_n in_o abraham_n bosom_n because_o in_o his_o time_n there_o be_v two_o manner_n of_o eat_v together_o the_o one_o by_o sit_v round_o a_o table_n as_o we_o now_o do_v the_o other_o by_o

of_o those_o text_n the_o lord_n have_v respect_n to_o one_o of_o these_o custom_n and_o in_o the_o other_o to_o the_o other_o to_o signify_v one_o and_o the_o same_o thing_n viz._n that_o they_o shall_v eat_v with_o abraham_n and_o because_o to_o eat_v together_o after_o this_o manner_n be_v a_o testimony_n of_o a_o familiar_a conversation_n and_o of_o a_o society_n full_a of_o friendship_n to_o signify_v that_o lazarus_n have_v this_o strict_a familiarity_n with_o abraham_n he_o say_v that_o he_o be_v in_o his_o bosom_n as_o to_o signify_v that_o other_o shall_v enjoy_v the_o same_o sweet_a society_n with_o he_o he_o say_v they_o shall_v be_v with_o he_o at_o table_n which_o show_v without_o doubt_n that_o they_o must_v be_v in_o the_o same_o place_n but_o do_v in_o no_o manner_n

they_o hold_n be_v a_o constant_a truth_n and_o the_o whole_a world_n be_v at_o a_o agreement_n with_o they_o in_o it_o and_o it_o be_v that_o since_o our_o lord_n jesus_n be_v ascend_v on_o high_a the_o entrance_n into_o the_o heaven_n have_v be_v open_a not_o only_o to_o the_o faithful_a that_o have_v depart_v since_o he_o but_o also_o general_o to_o all_o those_o that_o have_v live_v under_o the_o dispensation_n of_o the_o time_n pass_v as_o well_o since_o as_o before_o the_o publication_n of_o the_o law_n upon_o the_o mountain_n for_o what_o do_v it_o concern_v i_o that_o abraham_n and_o

that_o god_n have_v at_o other_o time_n take_v the_o soul_n of_o believer_n as_o elias_n speak_v of_o his_o own_o and_o have_v lodge_v they_o apart_o in_o some_o place_n at_o a_o distance_n from_o

i_o think_v myself_o oblige_v brief_o to_o examine_v the_o text_n and_o reason_n upon_o which_o they_o do_v establish_v their_o persuasion_n they_o say_v therefore_o that_o the_o holy_a scripture_n

this_o purpose_n that_o text_n of_o st._n peter_n where_o he_o say_v that_o christ_n be_v quicken_v in_o the_o spirit_n by_o which_o also_o he_o go_v and_o preach_v unto_o the_o spirit_n in_o prison_n because_o although_o he_o there_o speak_v of_o the_o spirit_n of_o those_o that_o live_v long_o before_o the_o revelation_n of_o the_o new_a covenant_n nevertheless_o according_a to_o their_o

that_o it_o will_v be_v contrary_a to_o all_o ordinary_a form_n of_o administer_a justice_n that_o the_o spirit_n of_o believer_n shall_v be_v admit_v to_o the_o vision_n of_o god_n before_o our_o
