and_o as_o they_o never_o have_v part_n in_o the_o first_o resurrection_n so_o the_o second_o resurrection_n be_v only_o to_o judgement_n to_o death_n and_o to_o damnation_n and_o therefore_o if_o you_o will_v live_v when_o you_o be_v dead_a you_o must_v die_v to_o sin_n while_o you_o be_v alive_a only_o the_o penitent_a sinner_n shall_v live_v for_o ever_o in_o eternal_a life_n only_o those_o
