these_o two_o especial_a thing_n 122._o arsatius_n in_o postilla_fw-la ser_fw-mi de_fw-fr resurrect_v fol._n 122._o 1._o the_o place_n from_o whence_o he_o rise_v 2._o the_o manner_n how_o he_o rise_v first_o we_o must_v understand_v that_o as_o christ_n in_o respect_n of_o his_o humane_a nature_n consist_v both_o of_o body_n and_o soul_n so_o his_o resurrection_n must_v needs_o be_v consider_v both_o in_o respect_n of_o his_o body_n and_o soul_n first_o the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o body_n be_v that_o whereby_o he_o raise_v the_o same_o from_o the_o grave_n a_o dead_a carcase_n to_o be_v a_o live_n and_o a_o most_o glorious_a body_n never_o to_o die_v again_o soul_n the_o place_n from_o whence_o christ_n raise_v his_o soul_n second_o the_o resurrection_n of_o his_o soul_n must_v be_v from_o some_o infernal_a place_n or_o else_o it_o must_v be_v a_o descension_n and_o not_o a_o resurrection_n of_o his_o soul_n and_o therefore_o as_o in_o our_o creed_n we_o profess_v to_o believe_v that_o he_o descend_v into_o hell_n so_o we_o must_v likewise_o confess_v that_o he_o raise_v himself_o from_o hell_n but_o here_o unaware_o i_o be_o fall_v into_o a_o ocean_n of_o contention_n for_o first_o some_o say_v this_o article_n of_o our_o creed_n creep_v in_o by_o negligence_n and_o therefore_o will_v have_v race_v it_o out_o again_o but_o that_o will_v prove_v a_o want_n of_o god_n providence_n that_o will_v suffer_v his_o whole_a church_n to_o err_v so_o gross_o in_o the_o chief_a sum_n of_o her_o christian_a faith_n and_o if_o such_o thing_n may_v creep_v into_o our_o creed_n which_o be_v but_o the_o abstract_n of_o our_o faith_n then_o much_o more_o may_v easy_o creep_v into_o our_o scripture_n which_o be_v so_o large_a a_o expresser_n both_o of_o faith_n and_o manner_n but_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n be_v always_o with_o his_o church_n to_o guide_v it_o into_o all_o truth_n and_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n be_v the_o pillar_n of_o truth_n and_o a_o most_o faithful_a preserver_n of_o all_o truth_n and_o therefore_o this_o opinion_n be_v most_o absurd_a second_o other_o still_o retain_v the_o word_n hell_n four_o exposition_n of_o that_o article_n of_o christ_n dissension_n into_o hell_n can_v agree_v upon_o the_o meaning_n of_o the_o sentence_n and_o of_o these_o i_o find_v four_o several_a exposition_n the_o first_o be_v that_o the_o soul_n of_o christ_n suffer_v the_o pain_n of_o hell_n upon_o the_o cross_n but_o this_o can_v stand_v first_o because_o we_o must_v bring_v in_o such_o a_o sense_n as_o will_v agree_v with_o the_o word_n after_o his_o burial_n for_o that_o be_v dead_a and_o bury_v he_o descend_v into_o hell_n and_o second_o 9_o that_o christ_n suffer_v not_o the_o torment_n of_o the_o damn_a john_n 9_o because_o as_o that_o

there_o be_v a_o continual_a opposition_n and_o a_o mighty_a war_n betwixt_o truth_n and_o falsehood_n far_o great_a than_o that_o betwixt_o the_o house_n of_o saul_n and_o the_o house_n of_o david_n and_o each_o one_o of_o they_o seek_v to_o prevail_v against_o the_o other_o and_o i_o hope_v i_o need_v not_o use_v any_o argument_n to_o prove_v that_o we_o be_v in_o the_o truth_n it_o be_v the_o
