speak_v of_o the_o child_n of_o the_o resurrection_n in_o that_o world_n but_o how_o few_o have_v take_v notice_n of_o what_o world_n that_o be_v mean_v so_o these_o remain_v for_o the_o most_o part_n

and_o very_o precious_a one_o too_o though_o some_o mistaken_o will_v persuade_v some_o good_a person_n to_o the_o contrary_a and_o god_n spirit_n have_v not_o yet_o lay_v down_o that_o office_n

that_o dominion_n psal_n 49.14_o and_o in_o this_o daniel_n concur_v also_o for_o when_o the_o throne_n be_v set_v or_o place_v as_o the_o word_n signify_v not_o cast_v down_o as_o we_o read_v they_o
