that_o christ_n have_v take_v away_o the_o second_o death_n of_o the_o soul_n &_o not_o this_o first_o &_o natural_a death_n of_o the_o body_n which_o be_v common_a to_o all_o for_o by_o it_o we_o

their_o head_n as_o it_o be_v to_o paul_n i_o desire_v say_v he_o to_o be_v loose_v and_o to_o be_v with_o christ_n meaning_n to_o die_v for_o albeit_o this_o death_n of_o the_o body_n dwell_v in_o

by_o into_o heaven_n we_o shall_v not_o then_o fear_v death_n see_v that_o the_o loss_n of_o this_o transitory_a life_n be_v the_o high_a way_n into_o god_n everlasting_a kingdom_n and_o this_o may_v be_v answer_v concern_v sin_n also_o if_o any_o man_n ask_v how_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o we_o have_v sin_n still_o remain_v in_o we_o see_v christ_n have_v die_v for_o it_o to_o take_v it_o
