in_o christ_n in_o the_o great_a day_n of_o the_o lord_n come_v and_o that_o we_o which_o shall_v continue_v live_v till_o that_o time_n shall_v not_o prevent_v t●em_fw-la that_o sleep_n and_o this_o the_o same_o apostle_n snew_v to_o the_o corinthian_n behold_v i_o show_v you_o a_o mystery_n we_o shall_v not_o all_o sleep_n but_o we_o shall_v all_o be_v change_v that_o be_v though_o all_o shall_v

in_o christ_n shall_v arise_n first_o he_o there_o show_v the_o order_n of_o the_o resurrection_n as_o in_o another_o place_n he_o say_v as_o in_o adam_n all_o die_v so_o in_o christ_n shall_v all_o

and_o for_o their_o second_o ground_n they_o live_v and_o reign_v with_o christ_n a_o thousand_o year_n and_o as_o it_o follow_v this_o be_v the_o first_o resurrection_n the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o the_o spiritual_a resurrection_n through_o regeneration_n from_o sin_n as_o saint_n paul_n speak_v to_o the_o ephesian_n awake_v thou_o that_o sleep_v and_o arise_v from_o the_o dead_a and_o christ_n shall_v give_v thou_o light_n agree_v with_o that_o in_o the_o colossian_n if_o you_o then_o be_v rise_v with_o christ_n etc._n etc._n and_o this_o first_o and_o second_o resurrection_n our_o
