wherefore_o be_v we_o continual_o in_o danger_n i_o daily_o suffer_v death_n for_o your_o glory_n etc._n etc._n let_v we_o eat_v and_o drink_v for_o to_o morrow_n we_o shall_v die_v it_o be_v a_o

furthermore_o although_o i_o shall_v pass_v over_o this_o defence_n yet_o can_v i_o bring_v in_o another_o reason_n that_o we_o be_v more_o miserable_a than_o all_o man_n if_o there_o be_v not_o a_o resurrection_n for_o although_o we_o be_v very_o bless_v before_o the_o resurrection_n yet_o be_v it_o no_o blessedness_n without_o the_o resurrection_n for_o we_o say_v that_o for_o the_o same_o

if_o there_o be_v no_o such_o thing_n all_o this_o blessedness_n shall_v turn_v to_o nothing_o wherefore_o the_o say_n of_o the_o apostle_n be_v most_o true_a that_o we_o be_v more_o miserable_a than_o all_o man_n if_o there_o be_v no_o resurrection_n and_o this_o doctrine_n be_v not_o against_o these_o word_n that_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o saint_n be_v more_o bless_v before_o the_o resurrection_n but_o yet_o it_o be_v by_o reason_n of_o the_o resurrection_n they_o lie_v before_o we_o also_o that_o parcel_n of_o scripture_n which_o be_v write_v in_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o

whence_o they_o come_v they_o be_v at_o leisure_n to_o have_v return_v thither_o but_o now_o they_o desire_n another_o much_o better_a which_o be_v a_o heavenly_a one_o and_o now_o let_v we_o see_v how_o these_o our_o sleaper_n frame_v their_o jolly_a argument_n for_o say_v they_o if_o they_o desire_n the_o heavenly_a country_n then_o do_v they_o not_o inherit_v it_o but_o we_o frame_v it_o

but_o this_o out_o of_o they_o that_o where_o there_o be_v a_o desire_n there_o must_v also_o be_v a_o feel_n of_o good_a and_o evil_a which_o desire_n must_v either_o follow_v the_o thing_n that_o

devise_v a_o more_o ridiculous_a say_n and_o to_o say_v true_o you_o shall_v see_v that_o of_o these_o two_o point_n we_o shall_v gain_v unto_o ourselves_o one_o of_o they_o either_o that_o god_n desier_v some_o better_a thing_n than_o he_o have_v or_o else_o that_o there_o be_v something_o in_o god_n which_o be_v not_o of_o god_n and_o this_o make_v i_o think_v that_o these_o gallaunte_v do_v
