Also an appendix proving the souls enjoying Christ after death, afore the Resurrection, against some errours hereafter specified. Published for the justification of truth by S.L.

no_o time_n wherein_o the_o soul_n can_v be_v absent_a from_o the_o ●ody_n beside_o the_o time_n between_o death_n and_o the_o resurrection_n therefore_o what_o the_o scripture_n speak_v of_o the_o
