than_o jesus_n christ_n must_v preach_v to_o these_o spirit_n not_o while_o his_o body_n be_v dead_a but_o after_o his_o resurrection_n which_o the_o papist_n themselves_o will_v not_o own_o or_o

afford_v i_o shall_v observe_v several_a other_o great_a truth_n that_o the_o word_n do_v offer_v to_o we_o 1._o that_o the_o scripture_n be_v a_o most_o excellent_a and_o divine_a book_n in_o that_o it_o give_v we_o such_o a_o true_a account_n and_o such_o sure_a notion_n about_o a_o future_a and_o eternal_a state_n after_o death_n as_o it_o tell_v we_o what_o be_v the_o condition_n of_o abraham_n isaac_n and_o jacob_n and_o all_o the_o holy_a prophet_n that_o they_o be_v in_o the_o palace_n and_o kingdom_n of_o god_n luke_n 13.28_o so_o it_o inform_v we_o what_o be_v become_v of_o the_o sinner_n of_o the_o old_a world_n that_o these_o be_v cast_v into_o the_o prison_n of_o god_n he_o that_o appoint_v portion_n in_o the_o paradise_n above_o and_o assign_v place_n in_o the_o prison_n below_o and_o adjudge_n to_o each_o of_o these_o by_o a_o irrevocable_a sentence_n can_v best_o tell_v what_o be_v become_v of_o saint_n and_o sinner_n now_o they_o be_v depart_v out_o of_o the_o world_n 2._o this_o evidence_n the_o immortality_n of_o the_o soul_n that_o the_o spirit_n of_o wicked_a man_n be_v say_v to_o subsist_v after_o death_n and_o to_o abide_v in_o god_n prison_n though_o their_o garment_n of_o flesh_n be_v pluck_v off_o their_o house_n of_o clay_n throw_v down_o to_o the_o dust_n yet_o their_o soul_n do_v not_o expire_v or_o sleep_v as_o a_o man_n can_v live_v though_o his_o garment_n be_v put_v off_o or_o his_o house_n be_v demolish_v or_o drop_v down_o so_o the_o soul_n have_v no_o such_o necessary_a dependence_n on_o the_o body_n but_o can_v

blow_v out_o only_o it_o remove_v this_o light_n into_o another_o world_n 3._o we_o may_v observe_v the_o mercy_n and_o goodness_n of_o god_n that_o though_o he_o have_v threaten_v a_o flood_n and_o adjudge_v all_o the_o world_n beside_o eight_o person_n to_o be_v drown_v by_o it_o yet_o the_o son_n of_o god_n preach_v to_o this_o degenerate_a and_o wicked_a world_n before_o he_o destroy_v they_o though_o god_n design_v severity_n against_o their_o body_n yet_o he_o offer_v mercy_n to_o their_o soul_n that_o though_o they_o can_v not_o avoid_v the_o first_o yet_o that_o they_o may_v decline_v the_o second_o death_n and_o though_o their_o base_a part_n be_v cast_v away_o yet_o that_o their_o soul_n may_v swim_v to_o and_o land_n safe_o on_o the_o shore_n of_o a_o bless_a eternity_n and_o god_n mean_n do_v not_o use_v to_o be_v total_o ineffectual_a and_o in_o vain_a the_o word_n be_v seldom_o if_o ever_o preach_v but_o that_o some_o be_v to_o be_v draw_v out_o of_o the_o dead_a sea_n and_o call_v out_o of_o their_o grave_n by_o it_o peter_n seem_v to_o tell_v we_o that_o the_o word_n be_v not_o whole_o lose_v on_o the_o old_a world_n but_o that_o some_o receive_v save_v benefit_n
