speak_v of_o the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o body_n i_o assert_v that_o there_o shall_v not_o only_o be_v raise_v the_o same_o specifical_a but_o the_o same_o numerical_a body_n not_o only_o the_o same_o body_n for_o kind_n but_o for_o substance_n not_o that_o i_o affirm_v that_o every_o individual_a particle_n that_o compose_v the_o body_n when_o it_o die_v shall_v be_v raise_v up_o again_o but_o so_o much_o of_o the_o matter_n that_o make_v up_o the_o necessary_a constituent_a part_n of_o it_o now_o of_o what_o be_v necessary_a i_o think_v a_o ingenious_a modern_a give_v a_o very_a probable_a account_n his_o word_n be_v these_o by_o necessary_a hody_n dr._n hody_n part_n say_v he_o i_o mean_v those_o which_o remain_v after_o the_o utmost_a degree_n of_o maceration_n without_o which_o the_o body_n will_v not_o be_v integral_a but_o imperfect_a and_o these_o be_v chief_o the_o bone_n the_o skin_n the_o nerve_n the_o tendon_n the_o ligament_n and_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o several_a vessel_n as_o long_o as_o these_o and_o all_o that_o be_v necessary_a to_o life_n remain_v the_o body_n be_v true_o whole_a though_o never_o so_o much_o macerate_v but_o before_o i_o go_v off_o from_o this_o head_n i_o will_v make_v a_o remark_n upon_o one_o phrase_n which_o be_v within_o the_o compass_n of_o my_o text_n and_o i_o think_v prove_v the_o identity_n of_o the_o die_a and_o rise_v body_n and_o that_o be_v death_n be_v set_v forth_o by_o sleep_n which_o will_v be_v very_o improper_a if_o the_o very_a body_n that_o sleep_v in_o jesus_n and_o be_v dead_a shall_v not_o be_v awaken_v and_o revive_v in_o the_o morning_n of_o the_o resurrection_n there_o be_v but_o one_o thing_n more_o i_o shall_v stay_v to_o mention_v far_o to_o support_v this_o important_a article_n and_o it_o be_v the_o instance_n give_v by_o the_o apostle_n of_o those_o that_o shall_v be_v alive_a at_o christ_n second_o come_v 51._o 1_o cor._n 15._o 51._o he_o tell_v we_o they_o shall_v not_o all_o sleep_n but_o they_o shall_v all_o be_v change_v now_o this_o change_n must_v refer_v to_o the_o quality_n of_o their_o body_n not_o to_o the_o substance_n of_o they_o we_o can_v imagine_v that_o by_o be_v change_v he_o mean_v that_o the_o whole_a substance_n of_o their_o body_n shall_v be_v annihilate_v and_o that_o they_o shall_v have_v quite_o new_a body_n form_v out_o of_o other_o matter_n moreover_o let_v i_o observe_v that_o shall_v those_o very_a body_n be_v destroy_v and_o new_a one_o unite_v to_o those_o soul_n the_o destruction_n of_o the_o body_n and_o the_o breach_n of_o the_o union_n will_v be_v death_n whereas_o the_o apostle_n assert_v all_o shall_v not_o die_v so_o that_o upon_o the_o whole_a i_o argue_v thus_o that_o if_o those_o person_n that_o be_v find_v alive_a at_o christ_n second_o come_v shall_v retain_v their_o old_a body_n only_o with_o new_a quality_n than_o those_o that_o be_v raise_v from_o the_o dead_a shall_v have_v the_o same_o body_n which_o be_v former_o join_v to_o their_o soul_n only_o with_o the_o addition_n of_o new_a quality_n for_o what_o reason_n can_v any_o man_n assign_v that_o the_o saint_n that_o shall_v be_v alive_a when_o christ_n shall_v come_v to_o judge_v the_o world_n shall_v be_v catch_v up_o into_o the_o air_n with_o their_o old_a body_n only_o ennoble_v and_o refine_a and_o those_o that_o die_v shall_v have_v body_n entire_o new_a and_o such_o as_o be_v never_o unite_v to_o their_o soul_n before_o such_o as_o never_o be_v the_o instrument_n either_o of_o sin_v or_o serve_v of_o god_n now_o the_o apostle_n do_v not_o bare_o tell_v we_o of_o the_o saint_n be_v bring_v with_o god_n our_o saviour_n at_o his_o appear_v and_o kingdom_n which_o imply_v their_o resurrection_n but_o he_o show_v that_o their_o resurrection_n depend_v upon_o the_o death_n and_o resurrection_n of_o our_o bless_a saviour_n for_o say_v he_o if_o we_o believe_v that_o jesus_n die_v and_o rise_v again_o even_o so_o they_o also_o that_o sleep_n in_o jesus_n will_v god_n bring_v with_o he_o 14._o heb._n 2._o 14._o first_o upon_o his_o death_n for_o through_o death_n christ_n have_v destroy_v he_o that_o have_v the_o

precious_a 19_o 1_o pet._n 1._o 19_o blood_n as_o a_o ransom_n to_o god_n for_o they_o so_o that_o our_o saviour_n be_v victorious_a in_o die_v and_o conquer_v as_o he_o expire_v on_o the_o infamous_a tree_n he_o bruise_v the_o head_n of_o the_o old_a serpent_n and_o silence_v the_o anathema_n of_o a_o break_a law_n when_o in_o the_o sharp_a agony_n and_o amid_o a_o thousand_o torment_n he_o bow_v

christians_o concern_v the_o state_n of_o their_o decease_a friend_n but_o i_o will_v not_o have_v you_o to_o be_v ignorant_a brethren_n concern_v they_o which_o be_v asleep_a these_o word_n seem_v to_o import_v that_o the_o apostle_n apprehend_v divers_a of_o these_o christian_n to_o be_v under_o some_o mistake_n with_o respect_n to_o their_o dead_a friend_n and_o it_o be_v think_v that_o their_o persecutor_n have_v shock_a they_o in_o their_o faith_n about_o the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o body_n for_o we_o know_v that_o the_o greek_a philosopher_n as_o well_o as_o the_o sadducee_n among_o the_o jew_n do_v explode_v and_o ridicule_n this_o great_a doctrine_n which_o they_o perform_v with_o so_o much_o art_n and_o subtlety_n that_o some_o member_n of_o the_o primitive_a church_n doubt_v whilst_o other_o affirm_v there_o be_v no_o resurrection_n and_o this_o seem_v to_o be_v the_o occasion_n of_o their_o excessive_a sorrow_n they_o look_v upon_o their_o dead_a friend_n not_o only_o as_o remove_v out_o of_o the_o world_n but_o as_o lose_v for_o ever_o as_o to_o their_o body_n at_o least_o and_o their_o persecutor_n that_o they_o may_v increase_v their_o infidelity_n and_o their_o sorrow_n at_o the_o same_o time_n when_o they_o put_v the_o christian_n to_o death_n for_o the_o cause_n of_o christ_n do_v it_o in_o such_o way_n as_o may_v have_v the_o appearance_n at_o

by_o these_o method_n to_o annihilate_v the_o matter_n of_o the_o human_a body_n or_o so_o to_o scatter_v or_o confound_v these_o particle_n of_o dust_n as_o to_o render_v it_o impossible_a for_o
