in_o the_o time_n of_o quietness_n &_o prosperity_n can_v general_o confess_v that_o god_n be_v true_a in_o his_o promise_n but_o bring_v they_o to_o the_o extremity_n and_o there_o cease_v the_o hypocrite_n further_o to_o trust_v in_o god_n than_o he_o see_v natural_a mean_n whereby_o god_n use_v to_o work_v but_o the_o true_a faithful_a when_o all_o hope_n of_o natural_a mean_n fail_v then_o fly_v they_o to_o god_n himself_o and_o to_o the_o truth_n of_o his_o promise_n who_o be_v above_o nature_n yea_o who_o work_n be_v not_o so_o subject_a to_o the_o ordinary_a course_n of_o nature_n that_o when_o nature_n fayloth_n his_o power_n and_o promise_n fail_v also_o therewith_o let_v we_o further_o observe_v that_o the_o prophet_n here_o speak_v not_o of_o all_o dead_a in_o general_a but_o say_v thy_o dead_a o_o lord_n shall_v live_v in_o which_o word_n he_o make_v difference_n betwixt_o those_o that_o die_v in_o the_o lord_n and_o those_o that_o die_v in_o their_o natural_a corruption_n and_o in_o old_a adam_n die_v in_o the_o lord_n can_v none_o except_v those_o that_o live_v in_o he_o i_o mean_v of_o those_o that_o attain_v to_o the_o year_n of_o discretion_n and_o none_o live_v in_o he_o except_o those_o that_o with_o the_o apostle_n can_v say_v i_o live_v not_o i_o but_o christ_n jesus_n live_v in_o i_o the_o life_n that_o now_o i_o live_v i_o have_v by_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n 2._o not_o that_o i_o mean_v that_o the_o faithful_a have_v at_o all_o hour_n such_o sense_n of_o the_o life_n everlasting_a that_o they_o fear_v not_o the_o death_n and_o the_o trouble_n of_o this_o life_n no_o not_o so_o for_o the_o faith_n of_o all_o god_n child_n be_v weak_a yea_o and_o in_o many_o thing_n imperfect_a but_o i_o mean_v that_o such_o as_o in_o death_n and_o after_o death_n shall_v live_v must_v communicate_v in_o this_o life_n with_o jesus_n christ_n and_o must_v be_v regenerate_v by_o the_o seed_n of_o life_n that_o be_v 1._o by_o the_o word_n of_o the_o live_n and_o everlasting_a god_n which_o whosoever_o despise_v refuse_v life_n and_o joy_n everlasting_a the_o prophet_n transfer_v all_o the_o promise_n of_o god_n to_o himself_o say_v even_o my_o dead_a body_n shall_v arise_v and_o immediate_o after_o give_v commandment_n &_o charge_n to_o the_o dweller_n in_o the_o dust_n that_o be_v to_o the_o dead_a carcase_n of_o those_o that_o be_v depart_v for_o the_o spirit_n and_o soul_n of_o man_n dwell_v not_o in_o the_o dust_n that_o they_o shall_v awake_v they_o shall_v sing_v and_o rejoice_v for_o they_o shall_v arise_v and_o spring_v up_o from_o the_o earth_n even_o as_o the_o herb_n do_v after_o they_o have_v receyve_v the_o dew_n from_o above_o time_n will_v not_o suffer_v that_o these_o particular_n be_v so_o large_o entreat_v as_o they_o merit_v &_o as_o i_o glad_o will_v and_o therefore_o let_v we_o first_o consider_v that_o the_o prophet_n in_o transfer_v the_o power_n and_o promise_v of_o god_n to_o himself_o do_v not_o vendicate_v to_o himself_o any_o particular_a prerogative_n above_o the_o people_n of_o god_n as_o that_o he_o alone_o shall_v live_v and_o arise_v and_o not_o they_o also_o but_o he_o do_v it_o to_o let_v they_o understande_v that_o he_o teach_v a_o doctrine_n whereof_o he_o be_v certain_a yea_o and_o whereof_o they_o shall_v have_v experience_n after_o his_o death_n as_o he_o shall_v say_v my_o word_n appear_v to_o you_o now_o to_o be_v incredible_a but_o the_o day_n shall_v come_v that_o i_o shall_v be_v take_v from_o you_o my_o carcase_n shall_v be_v enclose_v in_o the_o bosom_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o therefore_o shall_v you_o be_v lead_v away_o captive_n to_o babylon_n where_o you_o shall_v remain_v many_o day_n and_o year_n as_o it_o be_v bury_v in_o your_o sepulcher_n but_o then_o call_v to_o mind_n that_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o before_o hand_n that_o my_o body_n shall_v arise_v even_o so_o shall_v you_o rise_v from_o your_o grave_n out_o of_o babylon_n and_o be_v restore_v to_o your_o own_o country_n and_o city_n of_o jerusalem_n this_o i_o doubt_v not_o be_v the_o true_a meaning_n of_o the_o prophet_n the_o charge_n that_o he_o give_v to_o the_o dweller_n in_o the_o dust_n be_v to_o express_v the_o power_n of_o god_n word_n whereby_o he_o not_o only_o give_v life_n where_o death_n apparent_o have_v prevayl_v but_o also_o by_o it_o he_o call_v thing_n that_o be_v not_o even_o as_o if_o they_o be_v ture_v it_o be_v that_o the_o prophet_n isaiah_n see_v not_o the_o destruction_n of_o jerusalem_n much_o less_o can_v he_o see_v the_o restitution_n of_o it_o with_o his_o corporal_a eye_n but_o he_o leave_v this_o as_o it_o be_v in_o testament_n with_o they_o that_o when_o they_o be_v in_o the_o extremity_n of_o all_o

his_o mouth_n shall_v have_v be_v forget_v as_o we_o be_v ever_o prone_a and_o ready_a to_o forget_v god_n promise_n when_o we_o be_v press_v with_o any_o sorrow_n god_n raise_v up_o unto_o they_o
