need_n of_o the_o body_n nay_o may_v he_o not_o hence_o conclude_v more_o than_o this_o namely_o for_o the_o soul_n to_o work_v and_o do_v well_o it_o ought_v either_o to_o be_v without_o the_o body_n or_o else_o to_o be_v utter_o unsubject_n to_o the_o body_n and_o that_o the_o full_a and_o perfect_a life_n of_o the_o soul_n be_v the_o full_a and_o utter_a withdraw_a thereof_o from_o the_o body_n and_o whatsoever_o the_o body_n be_v make_v of_o for_o though_o the_o soul_n be_v the_o form_n of_o the_o body_n yet_o it_o be_v no_o material_a form_n the_o more_o it_o be_v discharge_v of_o the_o

different_a from_o the_o nature_n nourishment_n and_o action_n of_o our_o body_n and_o from_o all_o that_o be_v do_v or_o wrought_v by_o our_o body_n can_v there_o be_v any_o thing_n more_o childish_a then_o to_o imagine_v our_o soul_n to_o be_v mortal_a because_o of_o the_o mortality_n of_o our_o body_n and_o now_o my_o good_a friend_n i_o hope_v by_o this_o time_n your_o soul_n have_v so_o

christ_n well_o sir_n i_o do_v acknowledge_v that_o you_o have_v very_o sufficient_o prove_v the_o immortality_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o now_o if_o mr._n b._n will_v be_v please_v to_o prove_v the_o

first_o of_o all_o consider_v that_o job_n say_v in_o plain_a term_n job_n 19_o 25._o i_o know_v my_o redeemer_n live_v and_o that_o he_o shall_v stand_v at_o the_o latter_a day_n upon_o the_o earth_n and_o though_o after_o my_o skin_n worm_n destroy_v my_o body_n yet_o in_o my_o flesh_n i_o shall_v see_v god_n now_o do_v not_o this_o scripture_n plain_o hold_v forth_o under_o we_o the_o

and_o i_o will_v also_o entreat_v you_o to_o consider_v that_o the_o prophet_n isai_n say_v chapter_n 26_o 19_o thy_o dead_a man_n shall_v live_v etc._n etc._n in_o which_o word_n the_o prophet_n speak_v of_o the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o saint_n give_v we_o to_o understand_v that_o all_o those_o saint_n who_o die_v and_o who_o body_n be_v lay_v in_o the_o dust_n all_o those_o shall_v certain_o rise_v again_o to_o life_n and_o i_o will_v also_o beseech_v you_o to_o consider_v that_o in_o ezek._n 37._o the_o prophet_n speak_v most_o excellency_n of_o the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o dead_a in_o show_v that_o a_o spirit_n of_o life_n and_o power_n shall_v come_v upon_o the_o dry_a bone_n and_o dust_n of_o the_o saint_n and_o that_o they_o shall_v live_v in_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n and_o i_o will_v also_o entreat_v you_o serious_o to_o consider_v that_o the_o prophet_n daniel_n tell_v we_o that_o many_o who_o sleep_n in_o the_o dust_n shall_v awake_v some_o to_o everlasting_a life_n and_o some_o to_o everlasting_a shame_n and_o contempt_n and_o surly_a our_o saviour_n do_v confirm_v the_o same_o by_o utter_v almost_o the_o same_o word_n joh._n 5._o 28._o 29._o saying_n they_o that_o be_v in_o the_o grave_n shall_v here_o the_o voice_n of_o the_o son_n of_o man_n and_o shall_v come_v forth_o they_o that_o have_v do_v good_a to_o the_o resurrection_n of_o life_n and_o they_o that_o have_v do_v evil_a to_o the_o resurrection_n of_o condemnation_n and_o consider_v i_o beseech_v you_o that_o jesus_n christ_n himself_o be_v rise_v from_o the_o dead_a and_o doubtless_o he_o do_v not_o rise_v as_o a_o private_a person_n he_o do_v not_o rise_v private_o for_o himself_o but_o as_o a_o public_a person_n represent_v all_o the_o faithful_a and_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o the_o apohle_n say_v 1_o cor._n 15._o 13._o if_o there_o be_v no_o resurrecteon_n of_o the_o dead_a then_o be_v christ_n not_o rise_v and_o again_o in_o the_o same_o chapter_n verse_n 19_o he_o conclude_v that_o if_o there_o be_v no_o resurrection_n of_o the_o dead_a than_o the_o faithful_a be_v of_o all_o man_n most_o miserable_a but_o say_v the_o same_o apostle_n to_o the_o comfort_n of_o the_o thessalonian_o who_o seem_v to_o make_v some_o question_n of_o the_o resurrection_n if_o we_o believe_v that_o jesus_n christ_n die_v and_o rise_v again_o even_o so_o they_o also_o that_o 29._o 1_o thes_n 4._o 29._o sleep_n in_o jesus_n christ_n will_v he_o bring_v with_o he_o and_o i_o beseech_v you_o also_o to_o consider_v that_o it_o be_v say_v revel_n 20._o 21_o 15._o and_o i_o see_v the_o dead_a both_o great_a and_o small_a stand_n before_o god_n and_o the_o sea_n give_v up_o her_o dead_a which_o be_v in_o she_o and_o death_n and_o hell_n deliver_v up_o the_o dead_a to_o conclude_v i_o will_v pray_v you_o to_o mind_v the_o argument_n which_o our_o saviour_n use_v to_o prove_v the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o dead_a mat_n 22._o 32._o in_o say_v god_n be_v the_o god_n of_o abraham_n isaac_n and_o jacob._n and_o god_n be_v not_o the_o god_n of_o the_o dead_a but_o of_o the_o live_n but_o he_o shall_v not_o be_v the_o god_n of_o abraham_n isaac_n and_o jocob_n if_o they_o shall_v not_o rise_v again_o from_o the_o dead_a many_o other_o place_n of_o scripture_n may_v be_v bring_v for_o the_o further_a confirmation_n of_o this_o truth_n if_o it_o be_v needful_a and_o especial_o out_o of_o the_o new_a testament_n for_o in_o very_a deed_n there_o be_v no_o doctrine_n more_o plain_o and_o full_o teach_v in_o the_o new_a testament_n than_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o resurrection_n and_o therefore_o unless_o we_o will_v make_v both_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n liar_n and_o all_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n cheater_n juggler_n and_o deceiver_n of_o the_o people_n we_o must_v needs_o acknowledge_v the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o body_n and_z sooth_o if_o there_o be_v no_o resurrection_n the_o most_o just_a and_o righteous_a god_n shall_v seem_v to_o be_v unjust_a and_o unrighteous_a who_o many_o time_n in_o the_o time_n of_o this_o life_n do_v not_o reward_v the_o godly_a as_o he_o have_v promise_v nor_o punish_v the_o wicked_a as_o he_o have_v threaten_v and_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o the_o apostle_n say_v 2_o thes_n 1._o 6._o it_o be_v a_o righteous_a thing_n with_o god_n to_o recompense_v tribulation_n to_o they_o that_o trouble_v the_o saint_n and_o to_o they_o that_o be_v trouble_v rest_v when_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n shall_v be_v revel_v from_o heaven_n chris_n but_o i_o can_v conceive_v how_o it_o be_v possible_a that_o when_o our_o body_n be_v consume_v to_o dust_n they_o shall_v be_v raise_v again_o and_o beside_o some_o man_n body_n have_v be_v drown_v in_o the_o sea_n and_o eat_v of_o fish_n how_o then_o be_v it_o possible_a that_o all_o man_n shall_v rise_v again_o as_o you_o say_v ind_n though_o it_o be_v impossible_a with_o man_n yet_o it_o be_v not_o impossible_a with_o god_n for_o with_o he_o all_o thing_n be_v possible_a yea_o not_o only_o possible_a but_o also_o easy_a and_o therefore_o i_o beseech_v you_o be_v persuade_v of_o it_o as_o a_o undoubted_a truth_n that_o that_o god_n who_o in_o the_o beginning_n be_v able_a to_o create_v all_o thing_n of_o nothing_o be_v much_o more_o able_a to_o make_v every_o man_n body_n at_o the_o resurrection_n of_o his_o own_o matter_n for_o doubtless_o it_o be_v a_o hard_a matter_n for_o he_o to_o make_v man_n of_o nothing_o out_o of_o the_o dust_n and_o although_o until_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n the_o dust_n of_o all_o man_n bury_v do_v lie_n in_o common_a together_o in_o the_o bowel_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o that_o also_o with_o the_o dust_n of_o beast_n yet_o if_o a_o man_n skilful_a in_o seed_n be_v able_a to_o separate_v one_o seed_n from_o another_o and_o if_o a_o man_n skilful_a in_o mettle_n be_v able_a to_o separate_v and_o distinguish_v the_o earth_n and_o dust_n of_o gold_n from_o the_o earth_n and_o dust_n of_o silver_n and_o so_o of_o other_o metal_n then_o sure_o the_o great_a and_o wise_a creator_n of_o man_n seed_n and_o metal_n and_o all_o thing_n else_o be_v able_a to_o distinguish_v the_o dust_n of_o man_n from_o the_o dust_n of_o beast_n and_o the_o dust_n of_o one_o man_n body_n from_o the_o dust_n of_o another_o and_o though_o the_o body_n of_o some_o man_n be_v burn_v to_o
