of_o spiritual_a death_n and_o life_n john_n 5.25_o very_o very_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o that_o the_o hour_n be_v come_v and_o now_o be_v when_o the_o dead_a shall_v hear_v the_o voice_n of_o the_o

the_o jew_n go_v about_o to_o kill_v he_o for_o it_o he_o prove_v what_o he_o have_v say_v by_o this_o argument_n he_o that_o be_v able_a to_o give_v life_n to_o the_o dead_a be_v god_n or_o the_o son_n of_o god_n but_o i_o be_o able_a to_o give_v life_n to_o the_o dead_a the_o hour_n be_v come_v and_o now_o be_v when_o the_o dead_a shall_v hear_v the_o voice_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o those_o that_o hear_v it_o shall_v live_v therefore_o i_o be_o the_o son_n of_o god_n in_o brief_a these_o word_n show_v christ_n divinity_n by_o the_o effect_n of_o it_o that_o he_o can_v quicken_v the_o dead_a in_o these_o word_n we_o may_v consider_v these_o part_n first_o the_o subject_n on_o which_o christ_n do_v exercise_v his_o divinity_n and_o that_o be_v on_o dead_a man_n the_o dead_a shall_v hear_v the_o voice_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o shall_v live_v second_o the_o instrument_n by_o which_o he_o do_v it_o and_o that_o be_v by_o his_o word_n which_o be_v not_o mean_v only_o the_o bare_a preach_n and_o hear_v of_o the_o word_n bare_o but_o such_o a_o inward_a command_a powerful_a operative_a word_n that_o make_v man_n do_v that_o which_o be_v command_v they_o such_o a_o word_n be_v speak_v to_o lazarus_n be_v dead_a lazarus_n come_v forth_o and_o he_o do_v it_o this_o word_n command_v man_n and_o make_v they_o to_o obey_v it_o three_o the_o time_n when_o he_o will_v exercise_v his_o divinity_n the_o hour_n be_v come_v and_o now_o be_v that_o be_v the_o time_n shall_v come_v when_o as_o it_o shall_v be_v abundant_o reveal_v the_o fruit_n of_o the_o

with_o a_o asseveration_n or_o oath_n very_o very_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o and_o these_o be_v the_o part_n of_o this_o text._n out_o of_o these_o word_n i_o purpose_v to_o show_v you_o these_o three_o

you_o what_o your_o estate_n be_v out_o of_o christ_n for_o this_o will_v make_v you_o to_o prize_v he_o more_o and_o the_o point_n for_o this_o be_v that_o every_o man_n out_o of_o christ_n be_v in_o a_o state_n of_o death_n or_o a_o dead_a man_n that_o be_v 1._o all_o man_n however_o they_o be_v bear_v live_v yet_o they_o be_v still_o dead_a man_n without_o the_o live_a spirit_n the_o root_n be_v

thou_o light_n the_o meaning_n be_v that_o all_o man_n be_v spiritual_o dead_a this_o will_v be_v of_o some_o moment_n to_o show_v you_o that_o you_o be_v dead_a without_o christ._n you_o account_v

flesh_n john_n 6.55_o that_o it_o i●_n meat_n indeed_o now_o that_o you_o may_v know_v what_o this_o death_n be_v i_o will_v show_v you_o first_o of_o all_o what_o death_n be_v second_o how_o many_o kind_n of_o death_n there_o be_v three_o the_o symptom_n and_o sign_n of_o this_o death_n four_o the_o degree_n of_o this_o death_n for_o the_o first_o what_o this_o death_n be_v it_o consist_v in_o two_o thing_n first_o in_o death_n there_o be_v a_o privation_n of_o life_n then_o a_o man_n be_v dead_a when_o as_o the_o soul_n be_v separate_v from_o the_o body_n so_o a_o man_n be_v spiritual_o dead_a when_o as_o the_o soul_n be_v separate_v from_o the_o quicken_a spirit_n of_o grace_n and_o righteousness_n this_o be_v all_o our_o case_n in_o we_o there_o dwell_v no_o good_a there_o be_v no_o spirit_n of_o life_n within_o we_o the_o soul_n be_v so_o out_o of_o order_n that_o the_o spirit_n be_v weary_a of_o it_o and_o forsake_v it_o when_o the_o body_n grow_v distemper_v and_o unfit_a for_o the_o soul_n to_o use_v it_o than_o the_o soul_n leave_v it_o even_o as_o when_o the_o instrument_n be_v quite_o out_o of_o tune_n a_o man_n lay_v it_o aside_o while_o it_o be_v in_o tune_n he_o play_v on_o it_o so_o a_o man_n dwell_v in_o a_o house_n as_o long_o as_o it_o be_v habitable_a and_o fit_a to_o dwell_v in_o but_o when_o it_o become_v unhabitable_a he_o depart_v so_o as_o long_o as_o the_o body_n be_v a_o fit_a organ_n for_o the_o soul_n it_o keep_v it_o when_o it_o become_v unfit_a it_o leave_v it_o even_o so_o the_o holy_a ghost_n live_v in_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n as_o long_o as_o it_o be_v in_o good_a temper_n but_o be_v distemper_v by_o sin_n the_o holy_a ghost_n remove_v you_o may_v see_v it_o in_o adam_n as_o soon_o as_o he_o eat_v of_o the_o forbid_a fruit_n the_o holy_a ghost_n leave_v he_o and_o he_o lose_v his_o original_a righteousness_n second_o in_o this_o death_n as_o there_o be_v a_o privation_n so_o there_o be_v also_o a_o positive_a evil_a quality_n in_o the_o soul_n whereby_o it_o be_v not_o only_o void_a of_o goodness_n but_o make_v ill_o in_o the_o natural_a death_n when_o as_o a_o man_n die_v there_o be_v another_o form_n leave_v in_o the_o body_n so_o in_o this_o spiritual_a death_n there_o be_v a_o evil_a habit_n leave_v in_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n this_o you_o may_v see_v heb._n 9.14_o where_o the_o work_v you_o do_v before_o regeneration_n be_v call_v dead_a work_n there_o will_v be_v a_o contradiction_n in_o call_v they_o dead_a work_n if_o there_o be_v not_o another_o positive_a evil_a form_n in_o man_n beside_o the_o absence_n of_o the_o quicken_a spirit_n which_o form_n be_v call_v flesh_n in_o the_o scripture_n but_o it_o may_v be_v object_v ob._n that_o sin_n be_v a_o mere_a privation_n of_o good_a that_o it_o be_v a_o nonens_a therefore_o flesh_n can_v be_v say_v to_o be_v a_o operative_a quality_n and_o form_n of_o sin_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v answ._n that_o though_o all_o sin_n be_v a_o mere_a privation_n yet_o it_o be_v in_o a_o operative_a subject_n and_o thence_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o sin_n be_v fruitful_a in_o evil_a work_n as_o for_o example_n take_v a_o horse_n and_o put_v out_o his_o eye_n as_o long_o as_o he_o stand_v still_o there_o be_v no_o error_n but_o if_o he_o begin_v to_o run_v once_o he_o run_v amiss_o and_o the_o long_o he_o run_v the_o further_o he_o be_v out_o of_o the_o way_n wherein_o he_o shall_v go_v and_o all_o this_o because_o he_o want_v his_o eye_n which_o shall_v direct_v he_o so_o it_o be_v with_o sin_n though_o it_o in_o its_o

there_o be_v a_o great_a difference_n between_o this_o spiritual_a death_n and_o natural_a death_n for_o first_o those_o who_o be_v natural_o dead_a understand_v nothing_o at_o all_o but_o in_o

word_n can_v do_v it_o there_o be_v a_o end_n why_o christ_n speak_v to_o lazarus_n that_o be_v dead_a lazarus_n come_v forth_o because_o his_o word_n wrought_v life_n therefore_o though_o you_o be_v

they_o do_v thus_o and_o thus_o that_o they_o go_v down_o to_o the_o chamber_n of_o death_n yet_o they_o will_v do_v it_o hence_o be_v that_o ezek._n 18.31_o why_o will_v you_o die_v o_o you_o house_n
