the_o day_n about_o their_o own_o business_n and_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o time_n they_o be_v occupy_v about_o their_o master_n affair_n god_n note_v wherein_o the_o great_a part_n of_o man_n

forgiveness_n of_o their_o master_n but_o we_o in_o adversity_n resist_v god_n murmur_n against_o he_o and_o blaspheme_v his_o name_n servant_n receive_v only_a meat_n drink_n and_o apparel_n and_o therewith_o be_v content_a but_o we_o never_o make_v any_o end_n or_o measure_n of_o riches_n and_o prodigality_n servant_n when_o they_o hear_v the_o threaten_n of_o their_o master_n do_v tremble_v

or_o more_o bless_a than_o he_o be_v before_o also_o we_o give_v little_a or_o nothing_o unto_o our_o servant_n but_o god_n for_o we_o have_v give_v out_o his_o only_a son_n and_o together_o with_o he_o have_v give_v we_o all_o thing_n we_o promise_v to_o our_o servant_n a_o very_a small_a reward_n but_o god_n have_v promise_v unto_o we_o the_o same_o felicity_n whereof_o christ_n himself_o

the_o stipend_n of_o righteousness_n therefore_o righteousness_n deserve_v eternal_a life_n because_o the_o argument_n must_v be_v take_v of_o the_o word_n of_o paul_n for_o if_o it_o be_v lawful_a to_o reason_n after_o this_o manner_n the_o sound_a argument_n which_o lean_a unto_o the_o word_n of_o god_n shall_v be_v weaken_v for_o there_o may_v always_o be_v object_v although_o the_o

profitable_o speak_v by_o he_o unless_o he_o have_v refer_v they_o to_o christ_n the_o author_n of_o the_o most_o happy_a resurrection_n rule_n a_o rule_n wherefore_o we_o must_v understand_v that_o it_o be_v a_o certain_a and_o firm_a rule_n that_o the_o dignity_n and_o prerogative_n which_o we_o read_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n to_o be_v attribute_v unto_o the_o saint_n all_o those_o be_v chéeflie_o and_o that_o excellentlie_o well_o to_o be_v refer_v unto_o christ_n so_o then_o david_n speak_v not_o alonlie_o of_o christ_n but_o also_o of_o himself_o but_o yet_o so_o far_o forth_o as_o he_o be_v in_o christ_n and_o be_v include_v among_o other_o of_o his_o member_n thou_o will_v perhaps_o say_v that_o the_o apostle_n seem_v to_o deny_v this_o which_o affirm_v it_o to_o be_v fulfil_v only_o in_o the_o lord_n i_o answer_v they_o deny_v not_o that_o the_o dead_a body_n of_o david_n be_v leave_v in_o the_o sepulchre_n for_o they_o affirm_v the_o same_o to_o be_v leave_v there_o even_o unto_o those_o time_n nor_o deny_v they_o that_o he_o see_v the_o grave_n see_v he_o be_v therein_o even_o until_o that_o day_n but_o again_o they_o deny_v not_o but_o that_o he_o shall_v from_o thence_o be_v take_v at_o the_o time_n appoint_v and_o that_o he_o shall_v at_o the_o last_o be_v raise_v from_o corruption_n wherefore_o these_o thing_n agree_v to_o david_n so_o far_o forth_o as_o the_o grave_n and_o corruption_n shall_v not_o be_v perpetual_a unto_o he_o hereby_o likewise_o it_o appear_v what_o answer_v we_o be_v to_o shape_v unto_o the_o three_o question_n namely_o that_o these_o thing_n belong_v also_o unto_o we_o so_o far_o forth_o as_o we_o with_o david_n be_v the_o member_n of_o christ_n for_o as_o christ_n by_o die_v overcome_v death_n not_o only_o for_o himself_o but_o also_o for_o we_o so_o by_o rise_v again_o he_o live_v both_o unto_o himself_o and_o unto_o us._n wherefore_o perfect_a life_n perpetual_a and_o eternal_a felicity_n as_o concern_v both_o the_o soul_n and_o the_o body_n do_v rest_n in_o christ_n the_o head_n and_o by_o little_a and_o little_o distil_v and_o flow_v into_o the_o member_n according_a to_o the_o analogy_n or_o proportion_n of_o they_o some_o demand_n why_o god_n suffer_v the_o dead_a body_n of_o holy_a man_n to_o lie_v so_o long_o in_o the_o grave_n and_o to_o be_v corrupt_v and_o putrify_v see_v both_o they_o be_v holy_a and_o as_o paul_n say_v the_o temple_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n hereunto_o be_v answer_v 16_o 1._o cor._n 3_o 16_o that_o our_o flesh_n indeed_o be_v of_o one_o kind_n and_o nature_n with_o the_o flesh_n of_o our_o lord_n but_o that_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n there_o be_v many_o difference_n put_v between_o they_o for_o the_o flesh_n of_o christ_n be_v pure_a neither_o be_v it_o in_o any_o respect_n subject_n unto_o sin_n but_o on_o the_o contrary_a part_n we_o be_v compass_v on_o all_o side_n with_o sin_n only_o we_o be_v not_o altogether_o oppress_v moreover_o as_o david_n say_v we_o be_v conceive_v in_o iniquity_n but_o christ_n by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n beside_o this_o it_o be_v very_o meet_a 18._o matth._n 1._o 18._o that_o the_o head_n shall_v go_v before_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o member_n and_o it_o be_v requisite_a that_o the_o member_n shall_v be_v all_o make_v perfect_a together_o in_o one_o so_o then_o the_o dead_a body_n of_o the_o elect_a do_v wait_v until_o the_o full_a number_n of_o the_o brethren_n be_v complete_a 33_o but_o see_v in_o the_o place_n now_o allege_v there_o be_v only_o mention_v make_v of_o the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o bless_a some_o man_n perhaps_o will_v doubt_v wicked_a whither_o the_o resurrection_n belong_v also_o to_o the_o wicked_a whether_o the_o wicked_a shall_v be_v also_o raise_v from_o the_o dead_a we_o answer_v that_o the_o resurrection_n do_v also_o belong_v unto_o they_o because_o even_o as_o in_o adam_n all_o do_v perish_v 22_o 1._o cor._n 15_o 22_o and_o be_v wrap_v in_o the_o sentence_n of_o death_n so_o shall_v all_o be_v quicken_v in_o christ_n but_o this_o difference_n there_o be_v that_o the_o godly_a shall_v be_v raise_v up_o to_o glory_n but_o the_o ungodlie_a to_o destruction_n wherefore_o we_o read_v in_o john_n 25._o john_n 5_o 25._o that_o they_o which_o be_v in_o the_o grave_n shall_v hear_v the_o voice_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n &_o they_o which_o have_v do_v well_o shall_v go_v forth_o into_o the_o resurrection_n of_o life_n and_o they_o which_o have_v do_v ill_o into_o the_o resurrection_n of_o judgement_n that_o be_v of_o condemnation_n therefore_o the_o holy_a scripture_n have_v the_o often_o make_v mention_n of_o the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o faithful_a because_o that_o be_v the_o resurrection_n of_o life_n the_o other_o which_o be_v of_o the_o reprobate_n may_v rather_o be_v call_v a_o everlasting_a fall_n and_o destruction_n than_o life_n and_o resurrection_n for_o which_o cause_n the_o prophet_n esaie_n in_o the_o 26._o chapter_n say_v 19_o verse_n 19_o thy_o slay_a man_n shall_v rise_v again_o but_o speak_v before_o of_o the_o wicked_a the_o dead_a man_n say_v he_o shall_v not_o rise_v again_o so_o then_o we_o must_v assure_v ourselves_o that_o by_o the_o benefit_n of_o christ_n life_n shall_v be_v restore_v aswell_o unto_o the_o good_a as_o unto_o the_o bad_a but_o the_o godly_a shall_v be_v honour_v with_o great_a glory_n whereas_o the_o wicked_a shall_v receive_v perpetual_a shame_n this_o in_o very_a deed_n be_v the_o cause_n why_o the_o divine_a scripture_n make_v often_o mention_v of_o the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o godly_a than_o of_o the_o wicked_a and_o that_o in_o this_o place_n only_o the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o just_a be_v treat_v of_o those_o word_n which_o david_n add_v do_v hear_v witness_n say_v thou_o shall_v show_v i_o the_o path_n of_o life_n in_o thy_o presence_n be_v the_o fullness_n of_o joy_n and_o at_o thy_o right_a hand_n be_v pleasure_n for_o evermore_o by_o which_o word_n be_v show_v that_o this_o happy_a resurrection_n pertain_v only_o unto_o they_o which_o have_v set_v god_n always_o before_o their_o eye_n 34_o but_o there_o do_v not_o want_v at_o this_o day_n also_o which_o say_v enough_o that_o the_o testimony_n of_o david_n touch_v the_o resurrection_n be_v manifest_a enough_o that_o david_n indeed_o foretold_v of_o these_o thing_n yet_o not_o so_o expresselie_o and_o manifest_o as_o they_o may_v be_v understand_v by_o other_o but_o that_o only_a by_o the_o apostle_n after_o the_o come_n of_o christ_n those_o thing_n be_v expound_v and_o make_v plain_a for_o they_o affirm_v further_o that_o in_o the_o old_a testament_n the_o resurrection_n be_v altogether_o unknown_a but_o we_o say_v that_o the_o pprophecy_n be_v evident_a and_o that_o there_o be_v no_o obscurity_n therein_o but_o by_o
