and_o peter_n martyr_n do_v quote_v tertullian_n say_v he_o tertullian_n be_v so_o confident_a that_o this_o be_v a_o history_n that_o he_o undertake_v to_o tell_v you_o who_o be_v the_o man_n say_v he_o the_o rich_a man_n be_v herod_n and_o the_o beggar_n be_v john_n the_o baptist_n but_o suppose_v it_o be_v a_o parable_n and_o not_o a_o history_n yet_o parable_n do_v carry_v the_o resemblance_n of_o truth_n parable_n take_v their_o foundation_n from_o truth_n that_o there_o be_v some_o man_n in_o hell_n &_o some_o man_n in_o heaven_n that_o in_o hell_n there_o be_v torment_n and_o in_o heaven_n there_o be_v joy_n that_o as_o the_o beggar_n go_v to_o heaven_n after_o death_n so_o shall_v the_o godly_a and_o as_o the_o rich_a man_n go_v to_o hell_n so_o shall_v all_o the_o wicked_a the_o other_o evasion_n be_v this_o that_o this_o beggar_n be_v say_v to_o be_v carry_v into_o abraham_n bosom_n i_o answer_v first_o it_o be_v more_o than_o probable_a that_o abraham_n bosom_n be_v heaven_n now_o abraham_n be_v in_o heaven_n all_o his_o child_n be_v in_o heaven_n that_o be_v in_o his_o bosom_n that_o be_v the_o answer_n that_o gerrard_n give_v again_o it_o be_v say_v that_o they_o be_v carry_v by_o angel_n into_o abraham_n bosom_n therefore_o abraham_n bosom_n must_v be_v in_o heaven_n certain_o the_o good_a angel_n carry_v a_o good_a soul_n into_o heaven_n and_o the_o wicked_a angel_n carry_v a_o damn_a soul_n into_o hell_n and_o thus_o you_o have_v two_o instance_n that_o immediate_o after_o death_n the_o soul_n of_o the_o elect_n go_v to_o heaven_n a_o three_o instance_n be_v in_o mat._n 22._o 31_o 32._o but_o as_o touch_v the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o dead_a have_v you_o not_o read_v that_o which_o be_v speak_v unto_o you_o by_o god_n say_v i_o be_o the_o god_n of_o abraham_n and_o the_o god_n of_o isaac_n and_o the_o god_n of_o jacob_n god_n be_v not_o the_o god_n of_o the_o dead_a but_o of_o the_o live_n i_o argue_v from_o that_o instance_n that_o therefore_o abraham_n isaac_n and_o jacob_n be_v live_v at_o that_o time_n though_o not_o in_o their_o body_n if_o you_o mark_v the_o reason_n of_o that_o text_n it_o be_v not_o to_o prove_v a_o resurrection_n of_o the_o body_n only_o which_o the_o sadducee_n deny_v but_o also_o to_o prove_v the_o immortality_n of_o the_o soul_n the_o sadducee_n deny_v spirit_n and_o angel_n too_o act_v 23._o 8._o for_o the_o sadducee_n say_v that_o there_o be_v no_o resurrection_n neither_o angel_n nor_o spirit_n but_o the_o pharisee_n confess_v both_o christ_n do_v prove_v that_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o resurrection_n of_o the_o body_n and_o he_o likewise_v prove_v that_o the_o soul_n do_v not_o die_v when_o the_o body_n die_v indeed_o there_o be_v a_o quotation_n that_o i_o have_v read_v of_o a_o learned_a man_n that_o do_v make_v use_n of_o this_o instance_n gen._n 25._o 8._o then_o abraham_n give_v up_o the_o ghost_n and_o die_v in_o a_o good_a old_a age_n a_o old_a man_n and_o full_a of_o year_n and_o be_v gather_v to_o his_o people_n abraham_n be_v not_o gather_v to_o his_o father_n nor_o to_o be_v gather_v in_o the_o grave_n where_o his_o forefather_n be_v how_o then_o can_v this_o be_v true_a that_o the_o scripture_n say_v abraham_n be_v gather_v unto_o his_o father_n divine_n say_v it_o must_v be_v in_o his_o soul_n that_o abraham_n go_v to_o heaven_n as_o his_o godly_a forefather_n go_v that_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o that_o phrase_n his_o soul_n be_v to_o be_v bind_v up_o in_o the_o bundle_n of_o life_n to_o go_v to_o heaven_n as_o their_o forefather_n do_v and_o thus_o much_o for_o particular_a instance_n the_o second_o way_n to_o prove_v that_o the_o soul_n of_o the_o elect_a man_n go_v to_o heaven_n immediate_o after_o death_n it_o be_v by_o general_a expression_n in_o scripture_n two_o general_a passage_n one_o be_v in_o heb._n 12._o 23._o to_o the_o general_a assembly_n and_o church_n of_o the_o first_o bear_v which_o be_v write_v in_o heaven_n and_o to_o god_n the_o judge_n of_o all_o and_o to_o the_o spirit_n of_o just_a man_n make_v perfect_a thence_o i_o argue_v that_o apostle_n make_v mention_v and_o prove_v that_o there_o be_v the_o spirit_n of_o just_a man_n make_v perfect_a now_o if_o their_o soul_n do_v perish_v with_o their_o body_n than_o the_o apostle_n shall_v say_v that_o their_o spirit_n be_v annihilate_v with_o the_o body_n but_o it_o be_v the_o spirit_n of_o just_a man_n make_v perfect_a the_o scripture_n take_v notice_n in_o general_a expression_n that_o just_a man_n have_v their_o soul_n make_v perfect_a and_o then_o in_o eccle._n 12._o 7._o then_o shall_v the_o dust_n return_n to_o the_o earth_n as_o it_o be_v and_o the_o spirit_n

be_v some_o difference_n between_o a_o few_o interpreter_n touch_v the_o sense_n of_o these_o word_n one_o carry_v it_o this_o way_n that_o here_o the_o promise_n of_o christ_n come_n make_v a_o

to_o the_o ascension_n they_o say_v that_o this_o promise_n be_v accomplish_v when_o christ_n after_o his_o resurrection_n do_v come_v to_o his_o disciple_n and_o do_v eat_v a_o broil_v fish_n with_o

from_o the_o text_n why_o it_o can_v be_v the_o sense_n of_o the_o place_n because_o here_o be_v a_o promise_n before_o that_o he_o be_v go_v to_o his_o father_n house_n to_o receive_v they_o there_o now_o that_o live_v upon_o the_o earth_n forty_o day_n after_o his_o resurrection_n can_v be_v his_o father_n house_n this_o can_v therefore_o be_v mean_v of_o christ_n come_n again_o at_o that_o

at_o forty_o day_n it_o shall_v have_v be_v a_o earthly_a place_n that_o he_o have_v prepare_v for_o they_o but_o the_o current_n of_o interpreter_n see_v the_o weakness_n of_o that_o give_v many_o

to_o think_v he_o shall_v be_v so_o many_o hundred_o year_n soul_n and_o body_n in_o the_o grave_n before_o christ_n will_v bring_v he_o to_o heaven_n it_o will_v be_v a_o very_a uncomfortable_a

and_o receive_v you_o to_o myself_o obser_n the_o observation_n be_v this_o that_o the_o main_a end_n of_o christ_n come_n again_o be_v for_o to_o raise_v the_o body_n of_o the_o elect_n and_o to_o

first_o because_o of_o the_o resurrection_n of_o his_o own_o body_n christ_n own_o body_n be_v raise_v from_o the_o dead_a and_o receive_v up_o into_o heaven_n and_o therefore_o the_o body_n of_o

apostle_n do_v give_v this_o reason_n 1_o cor._n 15._o 12._o now_o if_o christ_n be_v preach_v that_o he_o rise_v from_o the_o dead_a etc._n etc._n as_o if_o he_o shall_v have_v say_v christ_n be_v rise_v from_o the_o dead_a do_v argue_v that_o our_o body_n must_v rise_v from_o the_o grave_a though_o they_o be_v dead_a there_o in_o 1_o cor._n 6._o 14._o and_o god_n have_v both_o raise_v up_o

must_v be_v raise_v up_o and_o receive_v into_o glory_n with_o he_o second_o the_o body_n of_o the_o elect_n must_v be_v raise_v because_o of_o the_o inhabitation_n of_o the_o spirit_n the_o spirit_n do_v sanctify_v the_o body_n of_o the_o elect_n as_o well_o as_o the_o soul_n the_o very_a god_n of_o peace_n sanctify_v you_o throughout_o and_o i_o pray_v god_n that_o your_o soul_n spirit_n and_o

second_o this_o point_n will_v confute_v those_o who_o hold_v that_o christ_n body_n have_v be_v on_o earth_n since_o his_o ascension_n into_o heaven_n some_o in_o germany_n hold_v that_o they_o be_v

at_o one_o time_n four_o the_o ascension_n of_o christ_n it_o overthrow_v the_o opinion_n of_o the_o carpacratiami_fw-la that_o hold_v that_o only_o his_o soul_n do_v go_v to_o heaven_n and_o his_o
