soul_n of_o jesus_n christ_n be_v separate_v from_o the_o body_n do_v go_v and_o preach_v to_o some_o of_o the_o father_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n that_o be_v not_o as_o they_o say_v yet_o admit_v into_o heaven_n but_o be_v reserve_v in_o some_o out-room_n of_o hell_n where_o they_o feel_v no_o pain_n but_o do_v not_o yet_o see_v the_o glorious_a face_n of_o god_n nor_o enjoy_v his_o bless_a presence_n but_o this_o can_v be_v the_o true_a genuine_a sense_n of_o the_o word_n for_o 1._o if_o spirit_n signify_v here_o the_o soul_n of_o christ_n and_o quicken_v import_v his_o resurrection_n 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 admit_v 2._o spirit_n in_o the_o 18_o verse_n signify_v christ_n divine_a nature_n and_o it_o be_v not_o in_o this_o or_o by_o this_o that_o he_o preach_v to_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n after_o their_o soul_n be_v separate_v from_o their_o body_n 3._o those_o that_o christ_n preach_v to_o live_v and_o be_v disobedient_a in_o the_o day_n of_o noah_n it_o be_v not_o say_v they_o do_v repent_v of_o or_o break_v off_o from_o their_o sin_n but_o be_v harden_v in_o their_o unbelief_n and_o die_v in_o their_o iniquity_n they_o go_v down_o uncircumcised_a in_o heart_n into_o the_o pit_n and_o so_o eternal_a death_n be_v their_o wage_n and_o hell_n be_v their_o own_o place_n now_o even_a papist_n dare_v not_o say_v that_o christ_n preach_v to_o the_o damn_a their_o state_n be_v remediless_a the_o sentence_n irrevocable_a their_o loss_n irrecoverable_a there_o be_v no_o year_n of_o jubilee_n no_o goal-delivery_n for_o imprison_a spirit_n confine_v to_o and_o shut_v up_o in_o hell_n jesus_n christ_n will_v not_o preach_v to_o those_o that_o god_n have_v cast_v off_o for_o ever_o and_o doom_v to_o eternal_a misery_n for_o their_o continue_a and_o obstinate_a disobedience_n they_o who_o nature_n be_v not_o change_v on_o earth_n their_o condition_n can_v not_o be_v alter_v in_o hell_n 4._o if_o the_o soul_n of_o christ_n have_v preach_v to_o soul_n in_o the_o prison_n of_o hell_n what_o reason_n can_v be_v assign_v why_o he_o shall_v preach_v rather_o to_o those_o that_o be_v disobedient_a in_o the_o day_n of_o noah_n than_o to_o those_o that_o be_v disobedient_a in_o the_o day_n of_o abraham_n moses_n or_o in_o the_o aftertime_n of_o the_o prophet_n this_o one_o argument_n may_v shame_v this_o notion_n and_o confute_v this_o ungrounded_a exposition_n of_o the_o word_n that_o the_o soul_n of_o christ_n go_v down_o to_o hell_n to_o preach_v to_o spirit_n there_o before_o i_o come_v to_o the_o main_a doctrine_n that_o the_o word_n 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 exist_v though_o this_o garment_n be_v put_v off_o this_o house_n be_v pull_v down_o this_o candle_n will_v burn_v though_o take_v out_o of_o the_o lantern_n of_o the_o flesh_n death_n do_v not_o 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 by_o it_o 1_o pet._n 4.6_o for_o this_o cause_n be_v the_o gospel_n preach_v also_o to_o they_o that_o be_v dead_a that_o they_o may_v be_v judge_v according_a to_o man_n in_o the_o flesh_n but_o live_v according_a to_o god_n in_o the_o spirit_n this_o may_v be_v locum_fw-la vid._n piscal_v in_o locum_fw-la and_o be_v expound_v to_o relate_v to_o and_o point_n at_o the_o state_n of_o the_o old_a world_n the_o gospel_n be_v preach_v to_o they_o that_o though_o they_o be_v judge_v be_v drown_v and_o perish_v in_o the_o eye_n of_o man_n as_o to_o their_o flesh_n yet_o they_o may_v live_v to_o and_o with_o god_n in_o their_o spirit_n though_o god_n proclaim_v war_n against_o their_o body_n yet_o he_o tender_v peace_n to_o their_o soul_n 4._o we_o may_v further_o observe_v that_o even_o those_o that_o the_o son_n of_o god_n preach_v to_o may_v stop_v their_o ear_n close_o their_o eye_n harden_v their_o heart_n and_o for_o their_o unbelief_n and_o impenitency_n may_v be_v cast_v into_o god_n prison_n and_o perish_v everlasting_o the_o gospel_n be_v to_o some_o the_o savour_n of_o death_n unto_o death_n 2_o cor._n 2.16_o they_o do_v shut_v christ_n out_o of_o their_o soul_n and_o for_o this_o be_v shut_v up_o under_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n and_o be_v the_o subject_n of_o eternal_a vengeance_n 5._o we_o may_v observe_v what_o a_o heinous_a evil_a sin_n be_v and_o what_o a_o terrible_a adversary_n god_n be_v he_o do_v not_o only_o sweep_v away_o the_o sinner_n of_o the_o world_n and_o drown_v their_o body_n in_o a_o flood_n of_o water_n but_o he_o imprison_v and_o
