and_o rise_v with_o christ_n be_v secure_v in_o that_o chamber_n here_o speak_v of_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o spiritual_a man_n in_o that_o there_o be_v no_o more_o sin_n nor_o hell_n nor_o death_n

he_o be_v truth_n unto_o this_o i_o answer_v there_o be_v more_o excellency_n in_o the_o saint_n then_o in_o the_o truth_n i_o will_v instance_n in_o some_o particular_n our_o saviour_n in_o matthew_n
