Of the creatures liberation from the bondage of corruption Wherein is discussed I. What is most probably meant by (the creature.) II. The vanitie or corruption from which it shall be delivered, and its unwillingnesse to that vanitie. III. The manner or way of its deliverance. IV. What creatures are conceived as most capable of this, and of their use after restauration. V. And lastly is discussed that glorious libertie of the sonnes of God into which the creature is to be reduced. Discursu philosophico--theologico, by John Waite, B.D.

creature_n shall_v be_v immortal_a or_o no_o if_o we_o give_v but_o scope_n to_o these_o speculation_n whether_o at_o length_n will_v they_o carry_v we_o let_v we_o therefore_o say_v he_o be_v

one_o of_o these_o two_o way_n by_o which_o the_o creature_n be_v to_o be_v deliver_v from_o the_o bondage_n of_o corruption_n either_o abolitione_n or_o purgatione_n by_o abolition_n or_o the_o
