that_o it_o be_v not_o seemly_a for_o we_o to_o conclude_v according_a to_o that_o which_o seem_v &_o appear_v to_o we_o in_o thing_n but_o rather_o as_o godliness_n require_v to_o refer_v all_o

either_o all_o or_o some_o shall_v be_v restore_v if_o all_o shall_v be_v restore_v then_o must_v the_o resurrection_n be_v communicate_v unto_o they_o that_o the_o same_o in_o number_n be_v restore_v which_o be_v not_o convenient_a if_o some_o shall_v be_v restore_v there_o appear_v no_o reason_n why_o these_o shall_v be_v restore_v more_o than_o other_o therefore_o say_v he_o they_o shall_v not_o

move_n of_o heaven_n shall_v cease_v therefore_o he_o conclude_v that_o in_o these_o inferior_a thing_n no_o perpetuity_n may_v be_v look_v for_o but_o here_o what_o answer_n will_v he_o make_v if_o a_o man_n shall_v say_v that_o all_o thing_n hang_v at_o the_o beck_n and_o pleasure_n of_o god_n who_o now_o for_o the_o conservation_n of_o his_o creature_n which_o now_o arise_v and_o spring_v and_o now_o dye_v and_o fall_v down_o use_v the_o move_n of_o heaven_n and_o can_v afterwards_o not_o use_v it_o for_o this_o purpose_n this_o be_v a_o truth_n that_o all_o thing_n of_o themselves_o be_v nothing_o much_o more_o than_o can_v they_o not_o do_v any_o thing_n now_o man_n may_v conjecture_v that_o the_o move_n of_o heaven_n shall_v cease_v but_o yet_o by_o the_o certain_a word_n of_o god_n they_o can_v not_o prove_v it_o in_o like_a manner_n be_v his_o last_o reason_n which_o he_o make_v of_o the_o end_n of_o beast_n and_o plant_n but_o which_o end_n he_o know_v not_o beast_n and_o plant_n say_v he_o be_v make_v for_o the_o sustentation_n of_o the_o mutual_a life_n of_o man_n but_o this_o life_n shall_v cease_v therefore_o shall_v they_o also_o but_o here_o have_v he_o no_o answer_n if_o a_o man_n shall_v demand_v who_o know_v whether_o god_n have_v make_v they_o to_o none_o other_o end_n or_o use_v see_v therefore_o these_o thing_n be_v as_o you_o see_v i_o suppose_v it_o not_o to_o pertain_v to_o a_o godly_a man_n to_o deny_v the_o beast_n and_o plant_n to_o be_v restore_v in_o that_o the_o apostle_n do_v here_o express_o say_v that_o every_o creature_n which_o be_v now_o subject_v to_o vanity_n shall_v be_v deliver_v from_o the_o bondage_n of_o corruption_n into_o the_o glorious_a liberty_n of_o the_o child_n of_o god_n in_o that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n do_v affirm_v this_o of_o every_o creature_n by_o what_o reason_n dare_v a_o godly_a mind_n exempt_v any_o part_n from_o this_o deliverance_n to_o come_v howbeit_o neither_o will_n the_o godly_a mind_n contend_v whether_o every_o creature_n shall_v be_v renew_v for_o the_o holy_a ghost_n speak_v of_o the_o creature_n general_o and_o not_o particular_o and_o therefore_o we_o may_v not_o otherwise_o affirm_v because_o we_o must_v not_o speak_v but_o god_n word_n therefore_o it_o be_v the_o part_n of_o a_o godly_a man_n and_o of_o one_o that_o hang_v in_o all_o thing_n upon_o the_o word_n of_o god_n to_o learn_v out_o of_o this_o place_n that_o whatsoever_o corruption_n death_n or_o grief_n he_o see_v in_o any_o thing_n wheresoever_o it_o be_v that_o i_o say_v he_o
