christ_n sit_v on_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o god_n second_o heaven_n be_v the_o place_n for_o which_o we_o be_v create_v and_o god_n in_o form_v man_n after_o his_o own_o image_n design_v he_o for_o the_o everlasting_a fruition_n of_o himself_o innocent_a man_n will_v have_v be_v translate_v to_o a_o much_o high_a paradise_n and_o we_o that_o be_v fall_v know_v it_o to_o be_v the_o end_n of_o our_o redemption_n ●2_n heb._n twelve_o ●2_n that_o we_o shall_v come_v to_o the_o city_n of_o the_o live_a god_n the_o heavenly_a jerusalem_n and_o that_o we_o shall_v inherit_v the_o kingdom_n prepare_v for_o we_o from_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o world_n 34._o mat._n twenty-five_o 34._o three_o heaven_n be_v the_o place_n of_o the_o great_a happiness_n attainable_a by_o we_o and_o not_o only_o inexpressible_o beyond_o all_o these_o low_a satisfaction_n but_o also_o above_o our_o comprehension_n for_o till_o we_o know_v the_o most_o extend_a capacity_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o what_o degree_n of_o blessedness_n what_o proficiency_n what_o illumination_n it_o be_v capable_a of_o and_o till_o we_o know_v moreover_o how_o far_o god_n will_v discover_v himself_o in_o fill_v all_o the_o dimension_n of_o it_o and_o in_o raise_v it_o to_o the_o high_a pitch_n of_o create_a perfection_n we_o can_v have_v a_o just_a and_o proportionable_a idea_n of_o that_o ineffable_a happiness_n which_o be_v purchase_v for_o we_o by_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n so_o much_o however_o god_n have_v reveal_v to_o we_o concern_v our_o future_a reward_n as_o be_v sufficient_a to_o quicken_v our_o most_o active_a endeavour_n for_o it_o 2._o joh._n iii._o 2._o it_o do_v not_o yet_o appear_v what_o we_o shall_v be_v but_o we_o know_v that_o when_o god_n shall_v appear_v we_o shall_v be_v like_o he_o for_o we_o shall_v see_v he_o as_o he_o be_v and_o certain_o the_o vision_n of_o god_n essential_a glory_n which_o be_v unapproachable_a to_o we_o here_o and_o the_o resemblance_n to_o his_o transcendent_a nature_n the_o behold_v of_o he_o face_n to_o face_n the_o dwell_n within_o the_o circle_n of_o his_o throne_n and_o the_o see_v of_o the_o mystery_n of_o faith_n unveil_v together_o with_o the_o consequential_a ardency_n of_o affection_n towards_o god_n and_o the_o love_a and_o admire_v and_o adore_v of_o he_o proportionable_o to_o the_o light_n of_o the_o understanding_n all_o this_o be_v infinite_o more_o worthy_a of_o our_o ambition_n than_o all_o the_o fade_a enjoyment_n of_o the_o world_n and_o may_v engage_v we_o to_o be_v diligent_a in_o our_o christian_a race_n and_o in_o work_v for_o eternity_n vii_o this_o will_v be_v further_a evident_a from_o the_o second_o point_n which_o i_o offer_v namely_o the_o incitement_n give_v by_o our_o apostle_n from_o the_o consideration_n of_o our_o future_a bliss_n our_o conversation_n be_v to_o be_v in_o heaven_n because_o we_o look_v for_o our_o saviour_n come_v from_o thence_o in_o glory_n to_o raise_v we_o up_o to_o a_o immortal_a life_n and_o to_o change_v our_o vile_a and_o infirm_a and_o moulder_a body_n into_o such_o as_o will_v be_v of_o a_o noble_a and_o last_a frame_n and_o fashion_v after_o the_o pattern_n of_o his_o own_o resurrection_n in_o this_o argument_n of_o our_o apostle_n we_o may_v take_v notice_n of_o two_o assertion_n the_o first_o of_o they_o be_v that_o this_o vile_a body_n which_o we_o carry_v about_o here_o be_v to_o rise_v again_o and_o to_o be_v rebuilt_a after_o the_o likeness_n of_o the_o glorious_a body_n of_o christ_n and_o if_o it_o be_v otherwise_o it_o be_v not_o easy_o conceivable_a how_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o resurrection_n can_v be_v proper_o maintain_v for_o that_o only_o can_v just_o be_v say_v to_o rise_v again_o which_o be_v fall_v and_o bury_v in_o the_o earth_n but_o the_o soul_n be_v uncapable_a of_o die_v and_o therefore_o unless_o the_o same_o body_n be_v revive_v unless_o there_o be_v a_o resuscitation_n of_o that_o which_o be_v asleep_a in_o the_o grave_a we_o be_v in_o danger_n of_o lose_v the_o resurrection_n do_v not_o christ_n arise_v with_o the_o same_o flesh_n that_o be_v crucify_a and_o retain_v the_o very_a print_n of_o the_o nail_n and_o be_v we_o not_o to_o be_v raise_v after_o the_o same_o model_n and_o he_o have_v tell_v we_o that_o all_o that_o be_v in_o the_o grave_n shall_v hear_v his_o voice_n 29._o joh._n 5.28_o 29._o and_o shall_v come_v forth_o unto_o the_o resurrection_n either_o of_o life_n or_o of_o damnation_n and_o his_o apostle_n have_v teach_v we_o that_o this_o corruptible_fw-fr must_v put_v on_o incorruption_n 15.53_o 1_o cor._n 15.53_o and_o this_o mortal_a must_v put_v on_o immortality_n it_o shall_v put_v on_o a_o new_a garment_n and_o by_o consequence_n shall_v remain_v entire_a and_o from_o hence_o the_o identity_n of_o the_o corrupt_a and_o the_o rise_a body_n seem_v to_o be_v clear_o reveal_v if_o it_o be_v so_o it_o be_v in_o vain_a to_o contradict_v it_o by_o philosophical_a cavil_n for_o to_o support_v our_o belief_n the_o apostle_n mind_v of_o we_o god_n omnipotent_a strength_n whereby_o he_o be_v able_a to_o subdue_v all_o thing_n unto_o himself_o the_o power_n of_o god_n be_v but_o a_o weak_a argument_n for_o the_o truth_n of_o a_o article_n of_o faith_n unless_o the_o revelation_n of_o he_o will_v be_v clear_a and_o convince_a for_o otherwise_o by_o this_o plea_n the_o most_o absurd_a monstrosity_n in_o religion_n may_v be_v defend_v but_o where_o the_o divine_a will_n be_v perspicuous_o declare_v as_o in_o the_o case_n of_o the_o resurrection_n the_o omnipotence_n of_o god_n come_v in_o for_o a_o seasonable_a and_o sufficient_a reply_n to_o all_o the_o astonish_a difficulty_n that_o our_o reason_n can_v muster_v up_o it_o be_v i_o confess_v not_o easy_a to_o conceive_v how_o the_o member_n that_o have_v be_v consume_v in_o the_o grave_a and_o scatter_v into_o a_o thousand_o place_n and_o travel_v through_o all_o the_o element_n shall_v after_o many_o age_n reassemble_v their_o break_a piece_n and_o shake_v off_o their_o rottenness_n and_o reassume_v their_o ancient_a figure_n and_o rise_v up_o into_o a_o beautiful_a frame_n but_o who_o can_v prescribe_v limit_n to_o a_o almighty_a be_v the_o thunder_n of_o his_o power_n who_o can_v understand_v 26.14_o job_n 26.14_o and_o since_o he_o have_v promise_v to_o raise_v up_o mankind_n who_o can_v say_v to_o he_o that_o it_o can_v possible_o be_v we_o know_v the_o infinite_a power_n of_o god_n in_o build_v this_o vast_a universe_n when_o he_o have_v no_o matter_n to_o work_v upon_o and_o in_o fashion_v man_n the_o image_n of_o himself_o out_o of_o the_o dust_n of_o the_o ground_n and_o we_o can_v but_o admire_v the_o daily_a miracle_n of_o his_o providence_n in_o continue_v the_o successive_a generation_n of_o man_n and_o form_v they_o all_o in_o the_o womb_n and_o then_o we_o may_v conclude_v that_o he_o who_o have_v do_v all_o this_o be_v likewise_o able_a to_o recollect_v and_o reanimate_a our_o putrified_a body_n and_o to_o over_o power_n all_o the_o obstacle_n that_o stand_v in_o his_o way_n 8._o act._n xxvi_o 8._o and_o why_o shall_v it_o be_v think_v a_o thing_n incredible_a with_o we_o that_o god_n shall_v raise_v the_o dead_a viii_o the_o second_o assertion_n in_o our_o apostle_n be_v this_o that_o there_o be_v to_o be_v a_o change_n in_o our_o body_n at_o the_o resurrection_n and_o a_o likeness_n to_o the_o glorify_v body_n of_o christ_n they_o be_v to_o be_v substantial_o the_o same_o but_o clothe_v with_o a_o robe_n of_o unknown_a glory_n and_o with_o new_a endowment_n and_o quality_n suitable_o to_o that_o heavenly_a life_n which_o they_o must_v enter_v into_o the_o question_n be_v make_v in_o the_o day_n of_o our_o apostle_n how_o be_v the_o dead_a raise_v up_o 44_o 1_o cor._n xv_o 35._o and_o 42_o 43_o 44_o and_o with_o what_o body_n do_v they_o come_v and_o he_o not_o only_o clear_v the_o certainty_n of_o our_o resurrection_n but_o also_o the_o conformity_n of_o it_o to_o that_o of_o christ_n and_o it_o be_v a_o old_a 27._o old_a hieron_n ep._n 27._o tradition_n in_o the_o church_n that_o every_o christian_a shall_v be_v raise_v up_o in_o the_o same_o ripeness_n of_o age_n as_o our_o saviour_n be_v of_o at_o the_o time_n of_o his_o passion_n the_o body_n be_v sow_o in_o corruption_n and_o raise_v in_o incorruption_n that_o be_v in_o this_o life_n it_o have_v the_o seed_n of_o dissolution_n and_o upon_o the_o withdraw_n of_o the_o soul_n must_v of_o necessity_n fall_v
