lay_v down_o his_o life_n that_o be_v not_o persuade_v there_o will_v be_v a_o life_n after_o death_n therefore_o i_o assure_v the_o presbyterian_a party_n if_o liberty_n of_o conscience_n be_v not_o

though_o i_o grant_v all_o this_o which_o they_o say_v that_o the_o body_n of_o the_o saint_n may_v be_v resolve_v into_o the_o first_o element_n out_o of_o which_o they_o be_v make_v yet_o for_o

to_o raise_v the_o body_n of_o his_o saint_n as_o he_o know_v what_o dust_n and_o bone_n belong_v to_o a_o body_n so_o he_o be_v able_a to_o bring_v it_o again_o to_o the_o same_o body_n which_o it_o

that_o which_o be_v sin_n or_o sinful_a be_v to_o do_v the_o devil_n service_n or_o else_o i_o be_o to_o learn_v that_o which_o we_o need_v not_o be_v teach_v to_o wit_n what_o it_o be_v to_o do_v

6.4_o as_o christ_n be_v raise_v from_o the_o dead_a by_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o father_n so_o we_o shall_v walk_v in_o newness_n of_o life_n to_o walk_v in_o newness_n of_o life_n be_v it_o to_o

christ_n he_o as_o a_o king_n have_v a_o command_n over_o his_o subject_n but_o he_o have_v not_o the_o command_n over_o we_o when_o we_o do_v that_o which_o be_v sin_n or_o sinful_a and_o therefore_o we_o do_v something_o good_a as_o his_o subject_n in_o obedience_n to_o his_o command_n bona_fw-la bene_fw-la good_a thing_n must_v be_v do_v well_o and_o therefore_o christ_n do_v not_o only_o enable_v we_o to_o do_v that_o which_o be_v righteous_a but_o he_o do_v enable_v we_o to_o do_v it_o righteous_o why_o be_v christ_n king_n but_o that_o we_o shall_v live_v under_o his_o command_n why_o be_v we_o his_o subject_n why_o be_v we_o his_o servant_n but_o because_o we_o be_v under_o his_o command_n and_o under_o his_o law_n you_o know_v the_o jew_n say_v they_o will_v not_o have_v christ_n to_o be_v their_o king_n but_o the_o voice_n of_o every_o christian_a be_v to_o cry_v up_o christ_n to_o proclaim_v he_o king_n and_o to_o own_v he_o only_o as_o their_o ruler_n and_o christ_n be_v king_n rule_n and_o reign_v in_o the_o heart_n of_o his_o people_n by_o law_n and_o commandment_n and_o precious_a statute_n worthy_a of_o such_o a_o king_n now_o christ_n give_v we_o

in_o our_o renew_a regenerate_v and_o enlighten_v spirit_n rule_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o our_o sin_n his_o enemy_n which_o oppose_v he_o christ_n be_v not_o such_o a_o king_n as_o other_o king_n other_o king_n make_v law_n and_o add_v penalty_n to_o their_o law_n for_o those_o that_o break_v they_o but_o they_o have_v no_o power_n to_o enable_v their_o subject_n to_o keep_v they_o but_o here_o be_v the_o privilege_n and_o prerogative_n of_o our_o king_n when_o christ_n make_v law_n he_o do_v not_o only_o give_v we_o law_n and_o bid_v we_o keep_v they_o but_o he_o have_v power_n in_o

which_o he_o command_v he_o shall_v be_v such_o a_o lawgiver_n as_o moses_n that_o give_v a_o law_n but_o give_v no_o power_n to_o do_v it_o but_o christ_n be_v not_o such_o a_o lawgiver_n as_o
