holy_a mount_n in_o their_o humane_a body_n from_o heaven_n therefore_o christ_n be_v not_o the_o first_o that_o enter_v into_o heaven_n with_o humane_a body_n because_o if_o the_o two_o former_a

well_o i_o know_v that_o it_o be_v a_o opinion_n embrace_v by_o many_o yea_o very_o many_o of_o the_o ancient_a father_n that_o the_o body_n of_o henoch_n and_o elias_n be_v reserve_v and_o keep_v

thereof_o that_o by_o that_o mean_v he_o may_v yield_v the_o jew_n a_o copious_a and_o abundant_a occasion_n of_o commit_v idolatry_n who_o he_o well_o know_v be_v apt_a enough_o by_o nature_n to_o
