if_o christ_n can_v not_o have_v raise_v himself_o it_o must_v have_v be_v either_o from_o a_o want_n of_o power_n or_o from_o a_o want_n of_o will_n to_o do_v it_o he_o can_v not_o want_v power_n to_o raise_v himself_o because_o he_o be_v god_n equal_a in_o power_n and_o in_o all_o other_o divine_a attribute_n with_o the_o father_n as_o the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o dead_a be_v not_o

first_o demonstration_n of_o the_o necessity_n of_o the_o resurrection_n of_o christ_n upon_o the_o account_n of_o both_o nature_n in_o one_o person_n as_o man_n so_o he_o abhor_v the_o separation_n
