occasion_n to_o that_o fond_a opinion_n of_o some_o that_o christ_n descend_v into_o hell_n and_o there_o undergo_v the_o pain_n and_o penalty_n of_o that_o infernal_a place_n as_o full_a satisfaction_n to_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n and_o that_o these_o be_v the_o pain_n god_n raise_v or_o loose_v he_o from_o in_o his_o resurrection_n but_o this_o conceit_n be_v erroneous_a and_o extravagant_a and_o deserve_v no_o serious_a confutation_n especial_o because_o it_o plain_o contradict_v christ_n consummatum_fw-la est_fw-la upon_o the_o cross_n for_o when_o christ_n have_v undergo_v his_o suffering_n on_o the_o cross_n 18.30_o joh._n 18.30_o he_o say_v it_o be_v finish_v and_o so_o give_v up_o the_o ghost_n if_o christ_n therefore_o do_v undergo_v any_o far_a suffering_n and_o pain_n than_o those_o suffering_n he_o undergo_v on_o the_o cross_n those_o suffering_n will_v have_v be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v complete_v and_o finish_v that_o they_o will_v have_v be_v but_o the_o praeludium_n and_o begin_v of_o his_o sorrow_n have_v loose_v the_o pain_n of_o death_n it_o imply_v no_o more_o but_o that_o god_n raise_v jesus_n christ_n from_o death_n which_o after_o many_o dolorous_a pain_n he_o suffer_v it_o follow_v it_o be_v not_o possible_a he_o shall_v be_v hold_v of_o it_o this_o be_v that_o i_o intend_v principal_o to_o insist_v upon_o and_o here_o i_o shall_v show_v upon_o what_o account_n it_o be_v altogether_o impossible_a for_o christ_n to_o be_v detain_v under_o the_o power_n of_o death_n and_o my_o argument_n for_o the_o proof_n hereof_o be_v these_o that_o follow_v death_n reasins_z why_o christ_n can_v not_o be_v hold_v under_o the_o power_n of_o death_n first_o it_o be_v impossible_a christ_n shall_v be_v hold_v under_o the_o power_n of_o death_n because_o of_o that_o great_a and_o ineffable_a mystery_n of_o the_o hypostatical_a union_n of_o the_o divine_a and_o humane_a nature_n in_o the_o person_n of_o christ_n union_n because_o of_o the_o hypostatical_a union_n there_o be_v three_o union_n the_o belief_n of_o which_o be_v the_o foundation_n of_o the_o great_a part_n of_o the_o christian_a religion_n which_o be_v whole_o beyond_o the_o reach_n of_o reason_n the_o mystical_a union_n of_o a_o believer_n unto_o christ_n the_o union_n or_o rather_o unity_n of_o the_o three_o glorious_a person_n the_o father_n the_o son_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o one_o nature_n and_o this_o hypostatical_a union_n of_o two_o nature_n in_o one_o person_n in_o the_o mediator_n it_o be_v a_o mystery_n angel_n pry_v into_o and_o adore_v with_o wonder_n and_o astonishment_n how_o the_o eternal_a only_o beget_v son_n of_o god_n shall_v assume_v flesh_n to_o himself_o in_o so_o close_a and_o intimate_v a_o conjunction_n that_o though_o he_o be_v eternal_a yet_o he_o shall_v be_v bear_v though_o he_o be_v immortal_a yet_o he_o shall_v true_o die_v and_o though_o he_o be_v true_o dead_a yet_o he_o shall_v raise_v himself_o to_o life_n again_o these_o be_v thing_n that_o seem_v very_o inconsistent_a one_o with_o another_o yet_o they_o true_o come_v to_o pass_v through_o this_o miraculous_a union_n which_o transcend_v the_o reach_n of_o reason_n as_o far_o as_o these_o thing_n do_v that_o of_o nature_n that_o the_o same_o person_n that_o be_v eternal_a shall_v be_v young_a yea_o be_v bear_v in_o the_o fullness_n of_o time_n that_o the_o same_o person_n that_o have_v immortality_n and_o life_n dwell_v in_o himself_o shall_v also_o die_v a_o shameful_a and_o accurse_a death_n that_o the_o same_o person_n that_o be_v true_o and_o real_o dead_a yet_o have_v a_o power_n to_o quicken_v and_o recover_v himself_o joh._n 10.18_o and_o this_o be_v it_o which_o declare_v he_o to_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n with_o power_n as_o the_o apostle_n speak_v 4●_n rom._n 1_o 4●_n even_o by_o his_o resurrection_n from_o the_o dead_a and_o indeed_o if_o he_o have_v not_o rise_v from_o the_o dead_a the_o deity_n will_v have_v suffer_v in_o the_o opinion_n of_o the_o world_n nor_o will_v they_o have_v believe_v he_o to_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n who_o will_v suffer_v himself_o to_o lie_v under_o the_o dominion_n of_o death_n long_o than_o the_o end_n of_o his_o death_n require_v it_o and_o this_o i_o shall_v demonstrate_v to_o you_o by_o two_o argument_n only_o premise_v this_o which_o be_v a_o common_a and_o true_a maxim_n among_o divine_n that_o when_o the_o natural_a union_n between_o christ_n body_n and_o soul_n be_v dissolve_v yet_o both_o soul_n and_o body_n do_v retain_v the_o hypostatical_a union_n to_o the_o divine_a nature_n the_o divine_a nature_n be_v unite_v to_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n when_o the_o soul_n be_v separate_v from_o it_o i._o 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 impossible_a to_o the_o infinite_a power_n of_o god_n so_o neither_o can_v it_o be_v that_o that_o god_n who_o have_v a_o will_n to_o assume_v our_o flesh_n shall_v want_v a_o will_v to_o raise_v it_o up_o that_o that_o god_n who_o so_o love_v the_o humane_a nature_n as_o to_o associate_v it_o into_o oneness_n of_o person_n with_o himself_o shall_v yet_o suffer_v it_o to_o continue_v under_o the_o power_n of_o death_n which_o be_v of_o all_o thing_n most_o contrary_a to_o his_o natural_a inclination_n we_o see_v christ_n in_o his_o agony_n pray_v most_o fervent_o that_o the_o bitter_a cup_n may_v pass_v from_o he_o insomuch_o that_o he_o strain_v clot_v blood_n through_o he_o and_o certain_o one_o ingredient_n into_o that_o cup_n be_v the_o separation_n of_o soul_n and_o body_n by_o death_n which_o be_v that_o which_o even_o innocent_a nature_n itself_o abhor_v as_o destructive_a to_o he_o yet_o have_v take_v our_o nature_n upon_o he_o for_o this_o very_a end_n that_o by_o death_n he_o may_v destroy_v he_o that_o have_v the_o power_n of_o death_n that_o be_v 14._o heb._n 2_o 14._o the_o devil_n he_o voluntary_o submit_v himself_o to_o undergo_v it_o and_o this_o end_n be_v full_o accomplish_v by_o his_o death_n and_o the_o truth_n of_o his_o death_n likewise_o attest_v by_o his_o lie_v three_o day_n in_o the_o earth_n it_o be_v altogether_o impossible_a that_o that_o person_n who_o have_v a_o abhorrence_n of_o death_n and_o a_o power_n to_o raise_v himself_o shall_v continue_v long_o under_o the_o arrest_n and_o dominion_n of_o it_o and_o this_o be_v the_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 of_o soul_n and_o body_n as_o god_n so_o he_o be_v able_a to_o reunite_v they_o so_o that_o have_v as_o man_z a_o desire_n to_o live_v and_o as_o god_n a_o power_n to_o live_v it_o be_v impossible_a for_o he_o to_o be_v hold_v of_o death_n ii_o because_o of_o the_o union_n of_o the_o divine_a and_o humane_a nature_n in_o the_o person_n of_o christ_n it_o be_v impossible_a that_o his_o flesh_n shall_v see_v corruption_n which_o yet_o it_o must_v certain_o have_v do_v have_v he_o not_o be_v raise_v in_o a_o short_a space_n after_o his_o death_n for_o since_o christ_n body_n be_v not_o a_o fantastical_a body_n as_o some_o of_o old_a hold_v but_o make_v of_o true_a flesh_n and_o of_o the_o same_o temper_n and_o constitution_n with_o we_o it_o must_v without_o a_o miracle_n have_v undergo_v such_o change_n after_o death_n as_o we_o shall_v do_v and_o to_o imagine_v the_o contrary_a be_v but_o to_o feign_v one_o miracle_n to_o avoid_v the_o necessity_n of_o another_o even_o of_o the_o resurrection_n but_o now_o it_o be_v utter_o impossible_a that_o that_o body_n that_o be_v unite_v to_o both_o nature_n by_o so_o close_a and_o unconceivable_a a_o bond_n shall_v ever_o see_v corruption_n that_o be_v a_o putrefaction_n in_o the_o grave_a this_o the_o scripture_n clear_o assert_n to_o we_o 2.28_o act._n 2.28_o thou_o will_v not_o leave_v my_o soul_n in_o hell_n neither_o will_v thou_o suffer_v thy_o holy_a one_o to_o see_v corruption_n and_o also_o because_o all_o body_n that_o be_v corrupt_v turn_n into_o some_o other_o thing_n and_o some_o other_o nature_n according_a to_o that_o undoubted_a maxim_n of_o the_o philosopher_n corruptio_fw-la unius_fw-la est_fw-la generatio_fw-la alterius_fw-la and_o so_o this_o horrid_a and_o blasphemous_a consequence_n will_v follow_v that_o the_o divine_a nature_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n may_v have_v be_v join_v to_o some_o other_o so_o that_o it_o be_v necessary_a that_o christ_n shall_v be_v

raise_v again_o before_o any_o corruption_n or_o putrefaction_n by_o ordinary_a course_n of_o nature_n sieze_v upon_o he_o thus_o i_o have_v prove_v by_o these_o two_o argument_n that_o because_o of_o the_o hypostatical_a union_n of_o the_o divine_a and_o humane_a nature_n of_o christ_n in_o one_o person_n it_o be_v altogether_o impossible_a he_o can_v be_v hold_v of_o death_n second_o another_o argument_n be_v this_o it_o be_v impossible_a christ_n shall_v be_v hold_v of_o death_n because_o of_o god_n veracity_n and_o the_o truth_n of_o those_o prediction_n which_o be_v before_o make_v concern_v christ_n in_o those_o many_o type_n and_o prophecy_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n all_o which_o god_n faithfulness_n stand_v engage_v to_o fulfil_v i_o shall_v only_o mention_v that_o famous_a prediction_n which_o st._n peter_n here_o subjoin_v as_o a_o proof_n of_o the_o subject_a i_o be_o now_o treat_v upon_o it_o be_v not_o possible_a 27._o act._n 2_o 25_o 27._o say_v he_o that_o christ_n shall_v be_v hold_v of_o death_n for_o god_n say_v the_o apostle_n as_o david_n say_v concern_v he_o thou_o will_v not_o leave_v my_o soul_n in_o hell_n nor_o suffer_v thy_o holy_a one_o to_o see_v corruption_n and_o this_o prophesy_v the_o apostle_n quote_v out_o of_o the_o psalmist_n 16.10_o psal_n 16.10_o which_o that_o it_o do_v not_o belong_v to_o david_n nor_o do_v he_o speak_v it_o concern_v himself_o when_o he_o indict_v that_o psalm_n the_o apostle_n prove_v 30._o act._n 2.29_o 30._o ver._n 29_o 30._o of_o this_o chapter_n where_o he_o prove_v that_o david_n be_v dead_a and_o bury_v and_o undergo_v the_o common_a lot_n that_o all_o other_o dead_a body_n do_v putrefying_a and_o moulder_v away_o in_o the_o earth_n and_o therefore_o he_o be_v not_o that_o holy_a one_o that_o shall_v never_o see_v corruption_n because_o that_o prophecy_n must_v belong_v to_o such_o a_o one_o who_o must_v so_o taste_v of_o death_n and_o this_o be_v clear_o imply_v in_o the_o former_a expression_n thou_o will_v not_o leave_v my_o soul_n in_o hell_n that_o be_v in_o the_o state_n of_o the_o dead_a for_o so_o be_v hell_n to_o be_v understand_v there_o as_o i_o shall_v show_v more_o at_o large_a neither_o can_v it_o belong_v to_o any_o of_o those_o who_o before_o christ_n be_v raise_v miraculous_o from_o the_o dead_a and_o bring_v back_o out_o of_o the_o state_n of_o death_n yet_o be_v it_o not_o in_o such_o a_o manner_n that_o they_o be_v not_o to_o return_v again_o to_o it_o so_o that_o if_o they_o do_v not_o in_o the_o first_o yet_o in_o their_o second_o die_v they_o see_v corruption_n this_o than_o can_v belong_v to_o none_o of_o they_o and_o therefore_o must_v of_o necessity_n belong_v to_o christ_n and_o since_o the_o apostle_n lay_v so_o much_o stress_n on_o this_o argument_n give_v i_o leave_v a_o little_a to_o consider_v the_o meaning_n of_o it_o and_o how_o it_o be_v applicable_a to_o he_o and_o here_o i_o shall_v not_o trouble_v you_o with_o the_o various_a opinion_n of_o those_o that_o have_v attempt_v to_o interpret_v these_o word_n thou_o will_v not_o leave_v my_o soul_n in_o hell_n that_o by_o this_o hell_n into_o which_o christ_n descend_v be_v mean_v the_o place_n of_o the_o damn_a where_o he_o preach_v the_o gospel_n to_o they_o free_v those_o that_o will_v believe_v from_o their_o pain_n other_o think_v that_o this_o hell_n into_o which_o christ_n descend_v be_v one_o great_a partition_n of_o it_o call_v lymbus_n patrum_fw-la the_o repository_n of_o the_o soul_n of_o those_o father_n who_o die_v in_o obedience_n to_o god_n and_o in_o faith_n to_o the_o messiah_n before_o christ_n come_v in_o the_o flesh_n and_o the_o reason_n of_o his_o descent_n thither_o be_v that_o he_o may_v release_v those_o soul_n from_o chain_n and_o carry_v they_o with_o he_o to_o heaven_n so_o that_o ever_o since_o that_o mansion_n in_o hell_n have_v be_v leave_v void_a without_o any_o inhabitant_n but_o this_o opinion_n be_v not_o capable_a of_o any_o sufficient_a proof_n i_o shall_v therefore_o give_v you_o that_o interpretation_n and_o judgement_n which_o carry_v with_o it_o the_o strong_a current_n both_o of_o scripture_n and_o reason_n the_o word_n hades_n that_o we_o translate_v hell_n be_v very_o often_o by_o the_o septuagint_n in_o the_o old_a testament_n use_v to_o signify_v the_o grave_a or_o the_o state_n of_o the_o dead_a so_o in_o gen._n 44._o ishade_n 31_o gen._n 44_o 31_o we_o translate_v it_o the_o grave_a but_o it_o be_v the_o same_o word_n that_o be_v use_v for_o hell_n in_o the_o text._n and_o thus_o the_o word_n be_v use_v in_o other_o place_n of_o scripture_n as_o also_o in_o other_o author_n to_o signify_v the_o place_n and_o state_n of_o the_o dead_a and_o of_o separate_a soul_n and_o for_o the_o leave_v the_o soul_n of_o christ_n in_o hades_n or_o in_o hell_n we_o must_v know_v that_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n that_o be_v not_o unusual_a in_o scripture_n to_o call_v a_o man_n that_o be_v dead_a by_o the_o name_n of_o soul_n so_o the_o septuagint_n translate_v that_o place_n in_o leviticus_n 21.11_o levit._fw-la 21.11_o they_o shall_v not_o be_v defile_v with_o dead_a soul_n mean_v dead_a carcase_n neither_o shall_v they_o go_v into_o any_o dead_a soul_n the_o word_n be_v dead_a body_n but_o not_o to_o detain_v you_o any_o long_o on_o this_o speculation_n though_o of_o great_a use_n for_o the_o right_a understanding_n of_o this_o excellent_a place_n of_o scripture_n if_o we_o take_v hell_n for_o the_o grave_a we_o must_v take_v the_o soul_n for_o the_o body_n thou_o will_v not_o leave_v my_o body_n in_o the_o grave_a but_o if_o by_o hell_n be_v here_o understand_v the_o state_n of_o death_n that_o be_v the_o state_n of_o separation_n of_o soul_n and_o body_n the_o interpretation_n will_v be_v more_o easy_a and_o natural_a thou_o will_v not_o leave_v my_o soul_n in_o a_o state_n of_o separation_n from_o the_o body_n but_o will_v certain_o unite_v they_o together_o again_o and_o raise_v i_o up_o before_o i_o shall_v feel_v corruption_n thus_o i_o have_v give_v you_o the_o interpretation_n of_o the_o prophecy_n of_o david_n which_o upon_o the_o account_n of_o god_n truth_n and_o veracity_n be_v to_o take_v effect_n in_o the_o resurrection_n of_o our_o saviour_n and_o therefore_o be_v foretell_v he_o shall_v not_o see_v corruption_n the_o faithfulness_n of_o god_n be_v oblige_v within_o that_o time_n inviolable_o to_o raise_v he_o up_o and_o that_o be_v the_o second_o reason_n why_o it_o be_v impossible_a christ_n shall_v be_v hold_v of_o death_n because_o it_o be_v foretell_v of_o he_o that_o his_o soul_n shall_v not_o rest_v in_o hell_n that_o be_v either_o his_o body_n in_o the_o grave_a or_o his_o soul_n in_o a_o state_n of_o separation_n from_o his_o body_n three_o grave_a god_n justice_n will_v not_o suffer_v christ_n to_o lie_v in_o the_o grave_a another_o argument_n be_v this_o it_o be_v impossible_a christ_n can_v be_v hold_v by_o death_n upon_o the_o account_n of_o god_n justice_n for_o justice_n as_o it_o do_v oblige_v to_o inflict_v punishment_n upon_o the_o guilty_a so_o also_o to_o absolve_v and_o acquit_v the_o innocent_a now_o though_o christ_n know_v no_o sin_n yet_o be_v he_o make_v sin_n for_o we_o that_o be_v our_o sin_n be_v impute_v to_o and_o charge_v upon_o he_o and_o so_o through_o a_o

from_o he_o for_o our_o offence_n now_o no_o other_o satisfaction_n will_v be_v acceptable_a unto_o god_n nor_o commensurate_n to_o our_o sin_n but_o the_o bear_n of_o a_o infinite_a load_n of_o wrath_n and_o vengeance_n which_o if_o it_o have_v be_v lay_v upon_o we_o must_v have_v be_v prolong_v to_o a_o eternity_n of_o suffering_n for_o because_o we_o be_v finite_a creature_n we_o can_v bear_v infinite_a degree_n of_o wrath_n at_o once_o and_o therefore_o we_o must_v have_v lie_v under_o those_o infinite_a degree_n of_o wrath_n to_o a_o infinite_a duration_n but_o now_o christ_n be_v
