which_o be_v dead_a the_o apostle_n use_v this_o word_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d for_o to_o signify_v the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o body_n and_o therefore_o in_o reason_n it_o may_v signify_v so_o in_o this_o place_n 1_o cor._n 15.22_o for_o as_o in_o adam_n all_o die_v so_o in_o christ_n shall_v all_o be_v make_v alive_a it_o be_v the_o same_o word_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d make_v alive_a that_o be_v they_o shall_v be_v raise_v from_o the_o grave_a so_o here_o christ_n die_v as_o to_o the_o flesh_n but_o he_o be_v make_v alive_a that_o be_v he_o be_v raise_v from_o the_o dead_a raise_v how_o be_v he_o raise_v it_o follow_v in_o or_o by_o the_o spirit_n what_o spirit_n be_v here_o why_o it_o be_v that_o spirit_n that_o do_v efficient_o raise_v he_o he_o be_v quicken_v in_o or_o by_o the_o spirit_n now_o by_o this_o spirit_n say_v the_o papist_n be_v mean_v the_o human_a soul_n of_o christ_n for_o this_o reason_n it_o can_v be_v mean_v of_o the_o soul_n of_o christ_n because_o that_o the_o soul_n of_o christ_n be_v a_o creature_n can_v never_o quicken_v can_v never_o raise_v the_o dead_a body_n of_o christ_n for_o christ_n be_v perfect_a god_n and_o perfect_a man_n as_o he_o be_v man_n he_o have_v a_o soul_n and_o body_n his_o soul_n and_o body_n be_v creature_n and_o though_o the_o spirit_n or_o soul_n of_o christ_n be_v a_o excellent_a pure_a holy_a soul_n without_o sin_n yet_o it_o be_v not_o god_n and_o have_v not_o a_o almighty_a power_n none_o but_o god_n can_v raise_v the_o dead_a therefore_o the_o soul_n of_o christ_n can_v never_o raise_v the_o body_n of_o christ_n what_o be_v it_o then_o it_o must_v then_o be_v the_o holy_a ghost_n it_o must_v be_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n which_o be_v god_n which_o be_v almighty_a that_o can_v raise_v the_o dead_a and_o do_v raise_v the_o dead_a christ_n for_o what_o reason_n do_v i_o think_v that_o by_o spirit_n be_v here_o mean_v the_o holy_a ghost_n why_o i_o will_v tell_v you_o because_o all_o the_o miracle_n that_o christ_n or_o his_o apostle_n do_v whether_o they_o heal_v the_o sick_a whether_o they_o raise_v the_o dead_a or_o cast_v out_o devil_n be_v all_o attribute_v to_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n to_o the_o holy_a spirit_n of_o christ_n and_o therefore_o no_o wonder_n if_o the_o very_a resurrection_n of_o christ_n be_v give_v unto_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n and_o if_o i_o mistake_v not_o that_o be_v the_o meaning_n or_o the_o import_n of_o the_o apostle_n in_o rom._n 1.3_o 4_o concern_v his_o son_n jesus_n christ_n our_o lord_n which_o be_v make_v of_o the_o seed_n of_o david_n according_a to_o the_o flesh_n and_o declare_v to_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n with_o power_n according_a to_o the_o spirit_n of_o holiness_n holiness_n in_o the_o abstract_n that_o be_v by_o the_o greek_n common_o use_v for_o the_o concrete_a and_o you_o may_v read_v it_o thus_o according_a to_o the_o holy_a ghost_n he_o be_v declare_v to_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n with_o power_n with_o the_o power_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n by_o the_o resurrection_n from_o the_o dead_a he_o be_v raise_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n by_o which_o all_o work_n of_o

for_o if_o by_o be_v make_v alive_a be_v to_o be_v understand_v the_o resurrection_n of_o christ_n human_a nature_n and_o by_o the_o spirit_n that_o raise_v that_o human_a nature_n be_v to_o be_v
