of_o barbarous_a and_o antichristian_a persecution_n be_v this_o close_a and_o satisfactory_a to_o the_o purpose_n as_o be_v promise_v first_o let_v i_o ask_v the_o doctor_n whether_o he_o ever_o

and_o yet_o after_o much_o needless_a talk_n about_o the_o lucidity_n and_o angelicalness_n of_o christ_n glorify_a body_n in_o the_o 7_o section_n he_o seem_v in_o good_a part_n to_o have_v forget_v

that_o we_o shall_v at_o the_o last_o day_n be_v revive_v into_o visible_a and_o corporeal_a personality_n wherein_o we_o shall_v feel_v ourselves_o to_o be_v the_o self_n same_o man_n and_o as_o

this_o he_o say_v here_o in_o his_o apology_n but_o he_o say_v it_o not_o in_o his_o mystery_n and_o therefore_o it_o answer_v not_o the_o objection_n but_o this_o be_v not_o all_o for_o have_v

in_o the_o article_n of_o the_o resurrection_n can_v amount_v to_o more_o than_o this_o that_o the_o very_a same_o numerical_a body_n that_o die_v shall_v real_o true_o and_o perfect_o rise_v again_o
