astonishment_n and_o terror_n of_o all_o their_o enemy_n who_o shall_v behold_v they_o but_o now_o a_o little_a more_o particular_o to_o clear_v the_o word_n we_o show_v before_o how_o the_o lord_n witness_n may_v be_v slay_v two_o way_n either_o corporal_o in_o separate_v their_o soul_n from_o their_o body_n or_o mystical_o and_o in_o a_o similitude_n or_o parable_n in_o a_o separation_n of_o their_o life_n from_o the_o world_n that_o be_v from_o all_o commerce_n &_o communion_n with_o the_o world_n so_o as_o their_o life_n be_v make_v no_o better_a but_o rather_o worse_a than_o death_n now_o for_o they_o that_o be_v slay_v after_o the_o first_o manner_n we_o be_v not_o to_o expect_v that_o god_n will_n according_a to_o the_o letter_n raise_v they_o up_o from_o the_o dead_a as_o here_o after_o three_o day_n and_o a_o half_a and_o for_o they_o that_o be_v slay_v after_o the_o second_o manner_n here_o specify_v though_o god_n shall_v not_o deliver_v and_o restore_v they_o from_o that_o their_o civil_a death_n though_o he_o be_v able_a to_o do_v it_o and_o will_v do_v it_o if_o he_o have_v so_o determine_v unto_o their_o liberty_n and_o communion_n with_o humane_a society_n as_o former_o yet_o this_o we_o be_v sure_a of_o as_o god_n word_n here_o must_v needs_o be_v true_a that_o of_o the_o very_a dust_n and_o ash_n of_o his_o dead_a witness_n under_o this_o
