soul_n be_v bury_v when_o it_o please_v god_n to_o fetch_v it_o from_o thence_o it_o be_v not_o as_o though_o he_o shall_v make_v it_o come_v forth_o of_o the_o grave_n and_o raise_v it_o up_o again_o what_o be_v the_o occasion_n then_o that_o man_n may_v have_v to_o fly_v from_o this_o corporal_a death_n and_o to_o have_v it_o in_o such_o horror_n see_v that_o separate_n the_o soul_n from_o the_o body_n set_v the_o soul_n out_o of_o prison_n and_o send_v it_o to_o enjoy_v liberty_n in_o heaven_n there_o to_o be_v make_v much_o of_o in_o the_o bosom_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o to_o enjoy_v with_o he_o and_o with_o all_o the_o happy_a soul_n the_o eternal_a comfort_n promise_v and_o reserve_v for_o the_o elect_a people_n of_o god_n the_o body_n on_o the_o other_o side_n liethe_v in_o the_o earth_n as_o in_o a_o bed_n there_o to_o sleep_v and_o take_v his_o rest_n at_o his_o ease_n be_v never_o wake_v or_o trouble_v in_o his_o sleep_n neither_o by_o fearful_a dream_n nor_o care_n

glory_n power_n immortality_n and_o corruption_n whereby_o we_o may_v see_v that_o it_o be_v without_o curse_n that_o man_n fear_v so_o much_o this_o corporal_a death_n the_o which_o do_v but_o separate_a for_o a_o time_n the_o soul_n from_o the_o body_n for_o y_z ●_o great_a profit_n of_o the_o one_o and_o of_o the_o other_o for_o the_o body_n be_v by_o this_o mean_n out_o of_o all_o danger_n not_o only_o of_o sin_n and_o of_o the_o misery_n that_o wait_v thereupon_o but_o also_o of_o all_o temptation_n remain_v and_o rest_v in_o the_o earth_n in_o certain_a hope_n of_o the_o

from_o it_o leave_v it_o without_o any_o mo_z ve_a or_o feel_v and_o it_o putrifi_v and_o go_v into_o earth_n yet_o be_v always_o accompany_v with_o the_o spirit_n and_o infinite_a power_n of_o god_n which_o quicken_v all_o thing_n it_o be_v not_o altogether_o void_a of_o life_n as_o saint_n paul_n say_v if_o the_o spirit_n of_o he_o which_o raise_v jesus_n christ_n up_o from_o the_o dead_a dwell_v within_o you_o he_o also_o which_o have_v raise_v he_o up_o shall_v also_o quicken_v your_o mortal_a body_n because_o of_o his_o spirit_n which_o dwell_v in_o you_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o in_o another_o place_n draw_v out_o unto_o we_o the_o portraiture_n of_o the_o resurrection_n of_o our_o body_n to_o come_v he_o bring_v in_o a_o example_n of_o the_o seed_n which_o be_v cast_v into_o the_o earth_n the_o which_o have_v life_n in_o it_o although_o be_v in_o the_o garner_n it_o semeeh_a to_o have_v none_o and_o hold_v it_o in_o our_o hand_n we_o can_v judge_v but_o that_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n dead_a and_o without_o life_n yet_o when_o it_o be_v cast_v into_o the_o earth_n where_o a_o man_n will_v think_v the_o life_n if_o it_o have_v any_o will_v be_v smother_v and_o

evident_a token_n the_o life_n that_o be_v hide_v in_o it_o before_o it_o be_v cast_v in_o the_o earth_n so_o god_n in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n 22._o cale_v himself_o the_o god_n of_o abraham_n long_a time_n after_o abraham_n death_n and_o say_v that_o he_o be_v not_o the_o god_n of_o the_o dead_a but_o of_o the_o live_n then_o it_o follow_v that_o not_o only_o the_o soul_n of_o abraham_n which_o he_o redeem_v by_o the_o death_n of_o his_o son_n be_v yet_o live_v since_o it_o have_v be_v separate_v from_o the_o body_n but_o that_o the_o body_n which_o be_v partaker_n of_o the_o same_o redemption_n which_o be_v knit_v and_o incorporate_v to_o jesus_n christ_n to_o be_v one_o of_o his_o member_n and_o have_v be_v consecrate_v and_o sanctify_v unto_o god_n that_o he_o may_v dwell_v 3._o therein_o as_o in_o his_o holy_a temple_n be_v not_o clean_o without_o life_n although_o it_o be_v putrify_v in_o the_o bowel_n of_o the_o earth_n for_o so_o much_o as_o it_o be_v always_o accompany_v with_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n and_o joint_o with_o the_o soul_n comprise_v in_o the_o everlasting_a covenant_n that_o he_o have_v make_v with_o his_o people_n which_o covenant_n be_v a_o fountain_n and_o vain_a of_o life_n not_o only_o to_o the_o soul_n but_o also_o the_o body_n of_o all_o the_o faithful_a and_o if_o as_o saint_n john_n say_v they_o be_v 14._o most_o happy_a and_o bless_a which_o die_v in_o the_o lord_n and_o that_o no_o blessedness_n can_v be_v without_o life_n we_o must_v needs_o conclude_v the_o one_o of_o these_o two_o thing_n either_o that_o no_o
