this_o i_o shall_v answer_v to_o three_o question_n quest._n 1._o what_o part_n of_o a_o child_n of_o god_n be_v it_o that_o sleep_v when_o he_o die_v ans._n there_o be_v some_o who_o say_v that_o

or_o misery_n till_o the_o resurrection_n this_o be_v a_o most_o uncomfortable_a and_o unscriptural_a opinion_n when_o st._n paul_n desire_v to_o be_v dissolve_v and_o to_o be_v with_o christ_n he_o do_v not_o desire_v to_o lie_v asleep_a till_o the_o resurrection_n and_o neither_o to_o see_v know_v or_o enjoy_v christ_n but_o to_o be_v make_v happy_a with_o he_o and_o by_o he_o when_o christ_n
