it_o be_v raise_v in_o power_n so_o we_o know_v be_v the_o body_n of_o christ_n after_o his_o resurrection_n it_o be_v not_o a_o natural_a body_n but_o a_o spiritual_a it_o be_v not_o corruptible_a

he_o be_v say_v to_o come_v as_o the_o lightning_n that_o quick_o shine_v from_o one_o end_n of_o the_o heaven_n to_o the_o other_o so_o can_v the_o body_n of_o christ_n when_o he_o appear_v quick_o

but_o second_o to_o answer_v the_o ground_n of_o the_o objection_n thus_o i_o see_v no_o reason_n why_o any_o shall_v conclude_v that_o man_n make_v use_n of_o the_o creature_n in_o a_o reasonable_a and_o a_o moderate_a manner_n be_v that_o bondage_n of_o corruption_n that_o paul_n speak_v of_o for_o it_o be_v clear_a that_o â—t_a be_v no_o burden_n to_o the_o creature_n to_o be_v in_o

in_o regard_n of_o man_n unmerciful_a deal_n with_o many_o creature_n in_o lay_v more_o burden_n upon_o they_o then_o they_o can_v well_o bear_v and_o put_v of_o they_o to_o do_v more_o than_o they_o can_v well_o do_v but_o this_o bondage_n will_v then_o be_v remove_v from_o they_o but_o three_o what_o most_o proper_o may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v the_o bondage_n of_o corruption_n that_o now_o be_v

that_o be_v in_o they_o and_o this_o they_o shall_v be_v deliver_v from_o in_o that_o day_n and_o that_o this_o be_v the_o genuine_a sense_n and_o meaning_n of_o the_o apostle_n when_o he_o say_v
