predicate_a do_v not_o live_v for_o ever_o there_o be_v a_o threefold_a life_n whereof_o we_o read_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n viz._n a_o temporal_a life_n or_o a_o life_n of_o nature_n a_o spiritual_a life_n or_o a_o life_n of_o grace_n and_o a_o eternal_a life_n or_o a_o life_n of_o glory_n in_o the_o two_o latter_a sense_n the_o faithful_a prophet_n of_o god_n shall_v live_v for_o ever_o the_o life_n of_o grace_n which_o they_o be_v partaker_n of_o here_o shall_v never_o be_v destroy_v but_o will_v terminate_v in_o a_o life_n of_o glory_n and_o that_o life_n of_o glory_n which_o the_o saint_n shall_v live_v above_o will_v be_v of_o a_o everlasting_a duration_n but_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n in_o the_o word_n of_o my_o text_n speak_v of_o a_o temporal_a life_n or_o a_o life_n of_o nature_n to_o which_o a_o period_n must_v be_v put_v in_o this_o sense_n the_o prophet_n do_v not_o live_v for_o ever_o from_o the_o word_n thus_o explain_v i_o shall_v present_v you_o

the_o proof_n of_o such_o a_o undeniable_a proposition_n have_v not_o all_o god_n minister_n who_o live_v in_o precede_a age_n fall_v by_o the_o stroke_n of_o death_n be_v not_o moses_n go_v to_o

which_o they_o who_o minister_v about_o holy_a thing_n be_v liable_a to_o and_o must_v undergo_v 1._o negative_o neither_o they_o nor_o any_o of_o the_o child_n of_o man_n be_v liable_a to_o or_o shall_v undergo_v a_o natural_a death_n of_o the_o soul_n though_o the_o soul_n of_o wicked_a man_n be_v subject_a to_o a_o moral_a death_n which_o consist_v in_o a_o privation_n of_o felicity_n and_o blessedness_n yet_o they_o be_v not_o subject_a to_o a_o physical_a death_n which_o consist_v in_o a_o privation_n of_o existence_n or_o life_n when_o man_n die_v their_o soul_n depart_v from_o their_o body_n they_o do_v not_o die_v or_o sleep_v with_o their_o body_n when_o their_o body_n return_v to_o the_o earth_n from_o whence_o they_o come_v their_o soul_n return_v to_o that_o god_n as_o a_o judge_n from_o who_o they_o come_v forth_o as_o a_o creator_n otherwise_o it_o will_v be_v in_o the_o power_n of_o man_n to_o kill_v the_o soul_n as_o well_o as_o the_o body_n which_o our_o

upon_o a_o large_a discussion_n of_o this_o controversy_n at_o this_o time_n 2._o affirmative_o there_o be_v a_o two_o fold_v death_n which_o they_o who_o minister_v about_o holy_a thing_n be_v liable_a to_o and_o must_v undergo_v as_o well_o as_o other_o man_n viz._n a_o death_n of_o the_o man_n and_o a_o death_n of_o the_o body_n 1._o a_o death_n of_o the_o man_n which_o consist_v in_o a_o separation_n of_o the_o soul_n from_o the_o body_n as_o the_o union_n of_o the_o soul_n with_o the_o body_n be_v the_o life_n of_o the_o man_n so_o the_o separation_n of_o the_o soul_n from_o the_o body_n be_v the_o death_n of_o the_o man_n when_o the_o soul_n be_v join_v to_o the_o body_n we_o begin_v to_o live_v when_o it_o be_v divorce_v from_o the_o body_n then_o we_o die_v death_n fatal_a

of_o the_o body_n this_o be_v inseparable_a from_o a_o death_n of_o the_o man_n the_o soul_n be_v the_o principle_n of_o the_o body_n life_n and_o motion_n while_o it_o continue_v in_o it_o and_o therefore_o when_o it_o take_v its_o flight_n from_o it_o it_o cease_v to_o be_v a_o live_a creature_n and_o become_v a_o lifeless_a lump_n of_o clay_n this_o death_n of_o the_o body_n consist_v in_o a_o cessation_n of_o the_o circulation_n of_o the_o blood_n and_o spirit_n which_o be_v the_o animal_n soul_n of_o man_n thereby_o the_o body_n be_v deprive_v of_o its_o strength_n and_o vigour_n of_o its_o motion_n and_o activity_n and_o of_o its_o comeliness_n and_o beauty_n death_n make_v a_o great_a alteration_n in_o this_o curious_a structure_n it_o tie_v the_o most_o voluble_a tongue_n

to_o assign_v some_o general_a reason_n why_o minister_n must_v die_v as_o well_o as_o other_o man_n in_o general_n because_o it_o be_v appoint_v for_o all_o man_n once_o to_o die_v heb._n 9.27_o
