down_o at_o large_a by_o mr._n mede_n at_o the_o latter_a end_n of_o his_o commentary_n upon_o the_o revelation_n whither_o i_o refer_v the_o reader_n but_o to_o clear_v the_o thing_n beyond_o doubt_n consider_v that_o though_o the_o death_n in_o sin_n may_v be_v call_v a_o death_n yet_o it_o be_v not_o nor_o any_o wherein_o scripture_n call_v the_o death_n either_o first_o or_o second_o if_o that_o death_n in_o sin_n be_v the_o death_n than_o it_o be_v the_o first_o death_n and_o the_o life_n of_o grace_n the_o first_o resurrection_n and_o then_o all_o that_o have_v a_o part_n in_o this_o shall_v be_v free_v from_o the_o second_o death_n which_o second_o death_n by_o this_o reckon_n must_v be_v the_o death_n of_o the_o body_n but_o that_o we_o see_v be_v false_a for_o the_o godly_a die_v the_o death_n of_o the_o body_n as_o well_o as_o the_o wicked_a therefore_o let_v we_o give_v way_n to_o the_o plain_a truth_n which_o be_v in_o a_o word_n thus_o the_o first_o death_n be_v the_o death_n of_o the_o body_n or_o a_o bodily_a death_n the_o second_o death_n be_v the_o death_n of_o the_o soul_n or_o the_o soul_n everlasting_a punishment_n in_o hell_n and_o the_o first_o resurrection_n or_o the_o first_o order_n in_o the_o resurrection_n for_o i_o speak_v not_o here_o of_o christ_n and_o those_o that_o arise_v then_o be_v the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o body_n or_o a_o bodily_a resurrection_n of_o the_o saint_n and_o they_o that_o have_v part_n in_o this_o be_v none_o but_o such_o as_o be_v holy_a and_o by_o this_o their_o be_v within_o the_o compass_n of_o the_o first_o order_n in_o the_o resurrection_n or_o be_v raise_v in_o the_o first_o resurrection_n they_o be_v beyond_o all_o fear_n of_o condemnation_n in_o hell_n which_o be_v the_o second_o death_n therefore_o the_o text_n say_v bless_a and_o holy_a be_v he_o that_o have_v part_n in_o the_o first_o resurrection_n on_o such_o the_o second_o death_n have_v no_o power_n which_o resurrection_n as_o we_o see_v can_v be_v mean_v of_o the_o life_n of_o grace_n but_o must_v be_v mean_v of_o that_o corporal_a resurrection_n which_o be_v oppose_v to_o a_o bodily_a death_n or_o
