believer_n by_o virtue_n of_o which_o union_n his_o resurrection_n do_v assure_v they_o christ_n and_o believer_n constitute_v but_o one_o mystical_a body_n it_o be_v the_o spirit_n of_o holiness_n which_o thus_o unite_v they_o of_o which_o they_o both_o must_v necessary_o though_o not_o equal_o partake_v he_o be_v the_o head_n they_o be_v the_o member_n and_o therefore_o must_v have_v communion_n with_o he_o in_o his_o resurrection_n and_o life_n whatsoever_o glorious_a or_o inglorious_a change_n the_o head_n suffer_v the_o member_n must_v feel_v something_o of_o the_o same_o in_o a_o proportionate_a degree_n and_o this_o be_v so_o infallible_a that_o the_o apostle_n argue_v not_o only_o from_o the_o negation_n of_o christ_n resurrection_n to_o the_o negation_n of_o we_o but_o from_o the_o negation_n of_o our_o resurrection_n to_o the_o nullity_n of_o christ_n 1_o cor._n 15.13_o this_o union_n be_v continue_v even_o while_o believer_n be_v under_o the_o power_n of_o the_o grave_a the_o relation_n of_o christ_n to_o the_o father_n do_v not_o cease_v when_o he_o be_v detain_v by_o death_n in_o the_o bowel_n of_o the_o earth_n though_o the_o comfort_n of_o that_o relation_n be_v suspend_v yet_o the_o relation_n itself_o never_o break_v of_o so_o in_o a_o state_n of_o death_n the_o union_n between_o christ_n and_o believer_n remain_v it_o be_v the_o man_n who_o die_v not_o the_o christian_n both_o part_n of_o the_o human_a person_n be_v separate_v from_o each_o other_o but_o neither_o of_o they_o separate_v from_o christ_n hence_o it_o be_v that_o when_o their_o spirit_n be_v return_v to_o god_n their_o flesh_n do_v rest_n in_o hope_n and_o their_o body_n take_v a_o joiful_a and_o quiet_a repose_n in_o their_o bed_n of_o dust_n because_o he_o to_o who_o they_o be_v so_o dear_o and_o indissolvable_o unite_a will_v not_o leave_v they_o under_o the_o power_n of_o death_n for_o ever_o but_o 2._o the_o spirit_n dwell_v in_o believer_n not_o only_o as_o a_o bond_n of_o union_n between_o christ_n and_o they_o but_o as_o a_o principle_n of_o power_n for_o their_o resurrection_n rom._n 8.11_o but_o if_o the_o spirit_n of_o he_o that_o raise_v up_o jesus_n from_o the_o dead_a dwell_v in_o you_o he_o that_o raise_v up_o christ_n from_o the_o dead_a shall_v also_o quicken_v your_o mortal_a body_n by_o his_o spirit_n that_o dwell_v in_o you_o the_o resurrection_n of_o christ_n be_v ascribe_v in_o the_o scripture_n to_o all_o the_o person_n in_o the_o trinity_n it_o be_v ascribe_v to_o god_n the_o the_o father_n because_o he_o be_v the_o fountain_n of_o action_n in_o the_o deity_n as_o at_o act_n 3.15_o and_o it_o be_v ascribe_v to_o he_o as_o he_o be_v the_o god_n of_o peace_n as_o invest_v with_o that_o title_n because_o he_o be_v the_o person_n to_o who_o satisfaction_n be_v make_v as_o at_o heb._n 13.20_o and_o it_o be_v ascribe_v to_o the_o son_n himself_o because_o all_o that_o he_o do_v as_o mediator_n be_v to_o be_v his_o own_o joh._n 2.19_o and_o chap._n 10.18_o but_o the_o efficiency_n be_v ascribe_v to_o the_o holy_a spirit_n whether_o we_o consider_v he_o as_o give_v by_o the_o father_n or_o give_v himself_o a_o sacrifice_n for_o our_o sin_n he_o be_v say_v by_o the_o eternal_a spirit_n to_o offer_v up_o himself_o heb._n 9.14_o so_o whether_o the_o act_n of_o his_o resurrection_n be_v speak_v of_o as_o do_v by_o the_o father_n or_o by_o himself_o yet_o it_o be_v by_o the_o spirit_n which_o proceed_v from_o both_o 1_o pet._n 3.18_o now_o the_o spirit_n that_o dwell_v in_o jesus_n dwell_v in_o believer_n and_o as_o it_o abide_v in_o he_o and_o act_v in_o he_o to_o the_o offer_v up_o himself_o to_o the_o death_n of_o the_o cross_n and_o afterward_o preside_v over_o his_o body_n in_o the_o grave_a and_o put_v forth_o its_o power_n in_o raise_v he_o so_o far_o do_v it_o act_n in_o believer_n while_o here_o and_o preside_v over_o their_o dead_a body_n to_o the_o same_o purpose_n and_o thus_o to_o ascribe_v the_o resurrection_n of_o believer_n to_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n be_v but_o congruous_a with_o other_o act_n of_o divine_a goodness_n and_o the_o precedent_a working_n of_o the_o spirit_n for_o as_o he_o quicken_v the_o soul_n of_o believer_n and_o raise_v they_o from_o death_n in_o sin_n and_o conform_v they_o to_o the_o image_n of_o christ_n so_o it_o be_v requisite_a that_o he_o shall_v be_v the_o author_n of_o their_o corporeal_a resurrection_n and_o likeness_n to_o christ_n also_o now_o the_o resurrection_n of_o believer_n be_v fix_v on_o these_o ground_n we_o shall_v next_o brief_o consider_v its_o necessity_n when_o death_n which_o be_v introduce_v by_o sin_n have_v be_v reign_v and_o act_v the_o part_n of_o a_o conqueror_n over_o mankind_n and_o bring_v all_o
