A75693	An argument proving, that according to the covenant of eternal life revealed in the Scriptures, man may be translated from hence into that eternal life, without passing through death altho the humane nature of Christ himself could not be thus translated till he had passed through death.

truth_n of_o religion_n be_v define_v by_o the_o number_n of_o professor_n then_o the_o mahometan_a be_v safe_a than_o the_o christian_n and_o the_o romish_a than_o the_o protestant_n the_o majority_n
