that_o in_o 1_o cor._n 15.50_o that_o flesh_n and_o blood_n can_v inherit_v the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n neither_o do_v corruption_n inherit_v incorruption_n which_o they_o endeavour_v to_o wrest_v and_o abuse_v to_o the_o denial_n and_o overthrow_v the_o whole_a business_n of_o his_o discourse_n in_o that_o chapter_n profess_o to_o prove_v the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o body_n not_o consider_v that_o 1._o the_o apostle_n say_v not_o thus_o neither_o flesh_n nor_o blood_n shall_v inherit_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n but_o flesh_n and_o blood_n copulative_o together_o now_o flesh_n and_o blood_n be_v use_v in_o scripture_n to_o signify_v a_o natural_a man_n in_o his_o corruptible_a unrenewed_a estate_n and_o sometime_o a_o body_n subject_v to_o weakness_n and_o infirmity_n heb._n 2.14_o who_o natural_a life_n be_v in_o the_o blood_n and_o so_o nourish_v by_o a_o constant_a supply_n of_o blood_n from_o food_n receive_v from_o without_o and_o indeed_o man_n shall_v not_o be_v such_o in_o the_o resurrection_n to_o have_v their_o life_n in_o their_o blood_n as_o now_o and_o so_o corruptible_a and_o weak_a but_o this_o we_o express_o find_v that_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n

the_o blood_n of_o expiation_n and_o sure_o to_o a_o raise_a body_n and_o immortalize_v blood_n be_v no_o more_o essential_a than_o our_o hair_n be_v of_o the_o essence_n of_o a_o body_n mortal_a i_o will_v say_v rather_o that_o as_o the_o corruptible_a body_n in_o this_o state_n of_o corruption_n may_v be_v and_o subsist_v without_o hair_n or_o the_o like_a excrement_n so_o be_v it_o very_o

thereof_o but_o immediate_o by_o the_o divine_a spirit_n and_o power_n of_o god_n therefore_o it_o be_v a_o very_a inconsequent_a argument_n to_o say_v because_o flesh_n and_o blood_n shall_v not_o inherit_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n therefore_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n have_v no_o flesh_n in_o it_o upon_o its_o resurrection_n direct_o contrary_a to_o his_o own_o assertion_n luke_n 24.39_o or_o that_o his_o body_n in_o which_o be_v flesh_n and_o bone_n be_v not_o assume_v up_o into_o heaven_n or_o that_o man_n body_n which_o now_o be_v flesh_n and_o blood_n shall_v not_o be_v raise_v and_o in_o their_o raise_a state_n be_v glorify_v or_o thus_o a_o natural_a body_n while_o such_o shall_v not_o inherit_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n therefore_o this_o natural_a body_n shall_v not_o be_v raise_v and_o in_o its_o rise_n make_v spiritual_a and_o so_o be_v a_o subject_n of_o his_o kingdom_n that_o speech_n than_o do_v but_o point_n to_o the_o condition_n of_o the_o body_n when_o raise_v that_o it_o shall_v not_o be_v such_o as_o now_o it_o be_v a_o body_n of_o infirmity_n flesh_n and_o blood_n but_o it_o deny_v not_o that_o the_o body_n shall_v rise_v even_o as_o the_o
