before_o his_o last_o come_n this_o be_v to_o cross_v other_o scripture_n then_o of_o necessity_n therefore_o it_o can_v be_v the_o scope_n of_o th●s_n for_o there_o be_v no_o jar_v between_o one_o

to_o christ_n personal_a reign_n for_o so_o jesus_n christ_n have_v a_o eternal_a kingdom_n he_o do_v not_o reign_v a_o thousand_o year_n on_o earth_n or_o in_o heaven_n but_o everlasting_o kingdom_n

i_o have_v consult_v with_o many_o author_n and_o i_o find_v the_o current_n of_o interpreter_n general_o run_v this_o way_n though_o some_o do_v fancy_v that_o text_n speak_v of_o the_o bind_n of_o the_o devil_n for_o a_o thousand_o year_n and_o during_o this_o time_n the_o saint_n shall_v live_v and_o reign_v with_o christ_n a_o thousand_o year_n the_o sense_n and_o scope_n of_o this_o place_n be_v this_o the_o period_n of_o time_n when_o this_o time_n begin_v that_o the_o devil_n be_v bind_v interpreter_n do_v unanimous_o give_v this_o opinion_n that_o it_o begin_v in_o the_o reign_n of_o constantine_n the_o great_a he_o be_v the_o first_o christian_a emperor_n in_o the_o world_n he_o come_v after_o 300_o year_n persecution_n by_o the_o roman_a emperor_n who_o make_v great_a massacre_n and_o havoc_n in_o the_o church_n of_o god_n in_o so_o much_o that_o in_o the_o book_n of_o martyr_n we_o read_v that_o there_o may_v be_v for_o every_o day_n in_o the_o year_n five_o thousand_o christian_n slay_v this_o be_v a_o dreadful_a persecution_n and_o the_o devil_n rage_v and_o stir_v much_o now_o upon_o constantine_n reign_n the_o devil_n be_v bind_v up_o that_o be_v the_o roman_a emperor_n who_o be_v act_v by_o the_o devil_n to_o all_o this_o cruelty_n when_o constantine_n a_o christian_a emperor_n come_v to_o reign_v he_o gvae_fw-la out_o imperial_a edict_n and_o law_n for_o establishment_n of_o the_o christian_a religion_n and_o that_o put_v a_o end_n to_o the_o persecution_n of_o the_o roman_a emperor_n and_o to_o this_o opinion_n many_o interpreter_n give_v in_o their_o consent_n brightman_n napier_n gerard_n and_o these_o thousand_o year_n when_o the_o devil_n be_v bind_v do_v end_v 300_o year_n ago_o and_o more_o and_o this_o be_v give_v to_o be_v the_o scope_n and_o sense_n of_o the_o scripture_n object_n ay_o but_o than_o you_o will_v say_v though_o the_o devil_n be_v bind_v how_o come_v the_o devil_n to_o be_v loose_a again_o answ_n they_o answer_v this_o that_o in_o the_o year_n 1300_o the_o turkish_a emperor_n begin_v to_o bear_v sway_n gog_n and_o magog_n call_v the_o turk_n prevail_v and_o have_v get_v the_o great_a part_n of_o the_o world_n within_o his_o power_n and_o he_o be_v the_o gog_n and_o magog_n that_o do_v persecute_v the_o saint_n and_o do_v spread_v almost_o over_o all_o the_o earth_n and_o true_o compare_v scripture_n and_o story_n together_o this_o seem_v to_o be_v the_o near_a and_o the_o true_a sense_n of_o this_o place_n and_o this_o interpreter_n do_v general_o concur_v in_o two_o objection_n by_o those_o who_o plead_v for_o a_o thousand_o year_n first_o be_v this_o we_o read_v in_o the_o century_n of_o the_o church_n that_o the_o church_n of_o god_n be_v pester_v by_o valens_n the_o emperor_n after_o these_o 300_o year_n and_o of_o julian_n the_o apostate_n that_o do_v great_o persecute_v the_o christian_n and_o how_o can_v this_o be_v true_a when_o we_o read_v of_o so_o much_o persecution_n after_o the_o devil_n be_v bind_v up_o answer_v that_o when_o it_o be_v say_v the_o devil_n be_v bind_v up_o it_o be_v not_o mean_v simple_o that_o there_o shall_v be_v no_o temptation_n to_o sin_n for_o that_o there_o shall_v be_v valens_n the_o emperor_n do_v establish_v arianism_n and_o trouble_v the_o church_n of_o god_n one_o answer_v it_o be_v nothing_o like_o the_o persecution_n of_o the_o roman_a emperor_n it_o be_v nothing_o so_o long_a nor_o so_o tedious_a as_o the_o persecution_n under_o the_o roman_a emperor_n for_o for_o every_o day_n in_o the_o year_n 5000_o christian_n be_v put_v to_o death_n in_o dioclesian_n reign_n there_o be_v 17000_o christian_n kill_v in_o one_o month_n there_o be_v some_o sprinkle_v persecution_n in_o the_o time_n of_o valens_n and_o julian_n the_o apostate_n but_o it_o be_v nothing_o to_o that_o of_o the_o roman_a emperor_n object_n another_o objection_n be_v this_o i_o but_o the_o scripture_n say_v that_o this_o be_v the_o first_o resurrection_n that_o the_o saint_n live_v and_o reign_v with_o christ_n a_o thousand_o year_n this_o be_v the_o first_o resurrection_n how_o can_v it_o be_v say_v that_o after_o
of_o pardon_n they_o may_v sympathize_v with_o and_o carry_v more_o tenderness_n of_o compassion_n towards_o they_o that_o be_v trouble_v in_o mind_n it_o be_v one_o end_n of_o christ_n suffering_n his_o soul_n be_v in_o a_o agony_n and_o under_o a_o desertion_n cry_v my_o god_n my_o god_n why_o have_v thou_o forsake_v i_o what_o be_v the_o end_n of_o it_o it_o be_v for_o this_o that_o christ_n may_v carry_v more_o compassion_n and_o more_o bowel_n of_o tenderness_n towards_o person_n that_o be_v under_o deep_a desertion_n let_v a_o scholar_n that_o study_v many_o thing_n read_v in_o a_o book_n of_o the_o storm_n and_o distress_n that_o seaman_n be_v subject_a unto_o yet_o by_o all_o he_o read_v he_o can_v pity_v man_n in_o a_o storm_n if_o he_o have_v never_o be_v in_o a_o storm_n himself_o let_v one_o read_v what_o the_o scripture_n mention_n of_o the_o pang_n of_o a_o woman_n in_o travel_n she_o can_v so_o compassionate_v a_o woman_n in_o travel_n unless_o she_o have_v have_v the_o pang_n herself_o so_o in_o divine_a thing_n it_o be_v experience_n that_o make_v man_n have_v compassion_n second_o it_o be_v for_o this_o reason_n to_o raise_v up_o in_o man_n heart_n a_o high_a esteem_n of_o pardon_v grace_n thing_n hardly_o come_v by_o be_v high_o set_v by_o what_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o bird_n do_v chirp_v and_o sing_v more_o sweet_o in_o the_o spring_n then_o in_o any_o other_o part_n of_o the_o year_n it_o be_v for_o this_o because_o after_o the_o vanish_v away_o of_o a_o long_a and_o tedious_a winter_n the_o refresh_a spring_n come_v in_o beloved_n the_o lord_n make_v his_o people_n chirp_v and_o sing_v in_o the_o sense_n of_o pardon_v grace_n rejoice_v in_o that_o the_o more_o the_o long_o the_o winter_n of_o desertion_n have_v be_v when_o god_n let_v they_o have_v long_a desertion_n than_o they_o do_v the_o more_o rejoice_v and_o sing_v when_o pardon_n be_v attain_v man_n do_v then_o prize_v the_o shore_n when_o they_o have_v be_v toss_v by_o a_o tempest_n on_o the_o sea_n those_o that_o have_v be_v toss_v on_o the_o wave_n of_o spiritual_a trouble_n that_o have_v have_v a_o storm_n and_o tempest_n in_o their_o conscience_n they_o will_v prize_v pardon_v grace_n most_o three_o god_n do_v sometime_o pardon_v a_o man_n sin_n yet_o not_o tell_v he_o of_o it_o and_o it_o be_v for_o rebuke_v to_o he_o because_o he_o have_v not_o live_v in_o the_o exercise_n of_o grace_n thou_o keep_v back_o obedience_n from_o god_n and_o god_n keep_v back_o comfort_n from_o thou_o this_o be_v a_o main_a reason_n why_o sometime_o god_n pardon_v a_o sinner_n and_o yet_o do_v not_o tell_v he_o of_o it_o in_o his_o own_o conscience_n it_o be_v do_v in_o heaven_n the_o pardon_n be_v write_v there_o but_o it_o be_v not_o do_v in_o the_o conscience_n it_o be_v not_o write_v here_o it_o be_v to_o give_v thou_o a_o rebuke_n a_o check_n in_o thy_o own_o heart_n sure_o i_o have_v not_o exercise_v grace_n therefore_o sure_o god_n will_v not_o give_v i_o the_o comfort_a work_n of_o his_o spirit_n when_o thou_o be_v not_o much_o in_o grace_n than_o thou_o shall_v be_v but_o little_a in_o peace_n it_o be_v just_a with_o god_n so_o to_o do_v four_o the_o lord_n pardon_v a_o sin_n when_o he_o do_v not_o tell_v that_o it_o be_v pardon_v it_o be_v to_o make_v the_o repentance_n of_o man_n more_o visible_a and_o satisfactory_a to_o the_o world_n that_o have_v be_v offend_v by_o their_o sin_n the_o lord_n will_v make_v the_o world_n see_v that_o if_o man_n will_v sin_v notorious_o they_o shall_v smart_v bitter_o to_o make_v the_o world_n see_v that_o repentance_n be_v no_o slight_a work_n and_o to_o make_v peace_n with_o god_n be_v not_o easy_a five_o to_o make_v man_n to_o taste_v the_o evil_n and_o bitterness_n of_o sin_n shall_v a_o man_n that_o be_v notorious_o wicked_a present_o attain_v the_o sense_n of_o pardon_n it_o may_v be_v he_o will_v not_o taste_v the_o bitterness_n of_o sin_n 6._o another_o reason_n be_v this_o to_o teach_v doubt_v christian_n that_o assurance_n be_v not_o essential_a to_o pardon_v it_o be_v separable_a from_o pardon_n it_o be_v separable_a from_o faith_n therefore_o from_o pardon_n a_o man_n may_v believe_v yet_o know_v not_o that_o he_o do_v believe_v the_o lord_n do_v it_o for_o that_o end_n to_o teach_v doubt_v christian_n that_o though_o they_o have_v not_o assurance_n yet_o they_o may_v have_v faith_n though_o they_o want_v the_o sense_n of_o pardon_n they_o may_v be_v pardon_v there_o can_v be_v fruit_n but_o there_o must_v be_v a_o tree_n yet_o there_o may_v be_v a_o tree_n when_o there_o be_v no_o fruit_n there_o may_v be_v grace_n in_o the_o heart_n when_o there_o be_v no_o peace_n in_o the_o conscience_n to_o have_v peace_n be_v additional_a to_o grace_v now_o the_o lord_n for_o these_o holy_a end_n do_v sometime_o pardon_v a_o sin_n in_o heaven_n when_o the_o pardon_n be_v not_o seal_v to_o the_o conscience_n thus_o much_o for_o the_o first_o case_n a_o second_o case_n of_o conscience_n be_v this_o if_o god_n pardon_v a_o sin_n whether_o or_o no_o do_v he_o afflict_v and_o punish_v man_n for_o it_o after_o it_o be_v forgive_v this_o be_v a_o useful_a question_n and_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o there_o be_v error_n and_o mistake_n about_o it_o mistake_v on_o the_o right_a hand_n and_o on_o the_o left_a the_o antinomian_o say_v that_o a_o pardon_v sinner_n be_v never_o afflict_v for_o sin_n and_o say_v they_o to_o say_v that_o a_o man_n who_o sin_n be_v forgive_v be_v afflict_v for_o sin_n do_v derogate_v from_o the_o satisfaction_n and_o suffering_n of_o christ_n then_o the_o papist_n say_v that_o man_n be_v afflict_v and_o punish_v for_o sin_n and_o that_o these_o punishment_n be_v for_o satisfaction_n to_o divine_a justice_n and_o they_o be_v meritorious_a and_o on_o this_o ground_n they_o bottom_n purgatory_n that_o after_o a_o man_n be_v dead_a he_o must_v for_o some_o year_n lie_v in_o purgatory_n to_o satisfy_v for_o some_o notorious_a gross_a sin_n do_v in_o his_o life_n now_o belove_v to_o keep_v you_o from_o swerve_v either_o way_n i_o shall_v lay_v down_o the_o true_a genuine_a state_n of_o this_o question_n and_o resolve_v it_o to_o you_o first_o consider_v this_o that_o god_n do_v not_o afflict_v any_o man_n but_o where_o sin_n be_v that_o be_v my_o first_o position_n god_n do_v not_o cruciate_v a_o innocent_a creature_n indeed_o the_o schoolman_n have_v a_o question_n whether_o god_n by_o his_o sovereignty_n may_v torment_v a_o innocent_a creature_n but_o that_o be_v but_o a_o nicety_n but_o this_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o god_n in_o the_o dispensation_n of_o his_o judgement_n do_v punish_v no_o man_n but_o where_o sin_n be_v sin_n enter_v into_o the_o world_n and_o death_n by_o sin_n second_o though_o god_n afflict_v none_o sinless_a yet_o sometime_o it_o may_v be_v for_o trial_n and_o not_o for_o any_o particular_a sin_n so_o be_v job_n affliction_n it_o be_v not_o for_o sin_n but_o for_o trial_n to_o try_v job_n grace_n three_o and_o chief_o it_o be_v apparent_a from_o the_o scripture_n that_o pardon_v sinner_n may_v be_v punish_v for_o their_o sin_n will_v not_o this_o be_v partial_a for_o a_o father_n to_o beat_v the_o servant_n for_o a_o fault_n yet_o not_o beat_v the_o child_n for_o a_o worse_a fault_n now_o the_o lord_n will_v not_o leave_v such_o a_o plea_n as_o this_o in_o any_o wicked_a man_n heart_n in_o all_o the_o kingdom_n of_o the_o world_n where_o sword_n where_o pestilence_n where_o famine_n and_o where_o plague_n have_v be_v the_o good_a have_v fall_v with_o the_o bad_a the_o righteous_a have_v fall_v by_o the_o sword_n as_o well_o as_o the_o wicked_a the_o reason_n be_v that_o the_o world_n shall_v not_o say_v that_o he_o be_v a_o partial_a god_n now_o to_o satisfy_v and_o to_o establish_v your_o thought_n in_o this_o point_n i_o shall_v give_v you_o two_o express_a testimony_n in_o the_o scripture_n that_o god_n do_v punish_v his_o people_n for_o sin_n though_o their_o sin_n be_v pardon_v the_o one_o be_v of_o david_n 2_o sam._n 12._o 14._o howbeit_o because_o by_o this_o deed_n thou_o have_v give_v great_a occasion_n to_o the_o enemy_n of_o the_o lord_n to_o blaspheme_v the_o child_n also_o that_o be_v bear_v unto_o thou_o shall_v sure_o die_v i_o will_v punish_v thou_o in_o thy_o child_n i_o will_v pardon_v thy_o sin_n yet_o i_o will_v punish_v thy_o sin_n so_o likewise_o in_o 2_o sam._n 7._o 14._o 15._o i_o will_v be_v his_o father_n and_o he_o shall_v be_v my_o son_n if_o he_o commit_v iniquity_n i_o will_v chasten_v he_o with_o the_o rod_n of_o man_n and_o with_o the_o stripe_n of_o the_o child_n of_o man_n but_o my_o mercy_n shall_v
whereas_o the_o scripture_n say_v express_o that_o christ_n shall_v come_v from_o heaven_n with_o his_o saint_n and_o we_o read_v in_o scripture_n that_o there_o be_v the_o spirit_n of_o just_a man_n make_v perfect_a as_o well_o as_o the_o innumerable_a company_n of_o angel_n five_o this_o will_v follow_v that_o it_o will_v be_v a_o great_a discomfort_n to_o a_o godly_a man_n on_o his_o deathbed_n to_o think_v he_o shall_v be_v so_o many_o hundred_o year_n soul_n and_o body_n in_o the_o grave_n before_o christ_n will_v bring_v he_o to_o heaven_n it_o will_v be_v a_o very_a uncomfortable_a doctrine_n for_o a_o man_n to_o think_v on_o that_o i_o shall_v die_v like_o a_o beast_n that_o my_o soul_n after_o death_n shall_v not_o be_v take_v up_o into_o heaven_n and_o thus_o i_o have_v prove_v that_o immediate_o after_o the_o godly_a die_n their_o soul_n be_v receive_v into_o heaven_n i_o have_v prove_v it_o by_o pregnant_a instance_n in_o the_o scripture_n by_o general_a expression_n in_o the_o scripture_n and_o by_o those_o express_a passage_n in_o scripture_n and_o have_v give_v you_o those_o absurdity_n that_o will_v arise_v in_o case_n it_o shall_v be_v deny_v a_o word_n now_o from_o what_o have_v be_v speak_v if_o it_o be_v that_o christ_n do_v receive_v thou_o o_o thou_o believer_n to_o himself_o before_o the_o total_a and_o complete_a reception_n i_o will_v then_o give_v you_o this_o use_n for_o to_o comfort_v you_o use_v first_o fear_v not_o a_o die_a time_n let_v not_o death_n be_v dreadful_a and_o terrible_a to_o thou_o belove_a be_v this_o true_a indeed_o that_o when_o thou_o die_v thy_o soul_n shall_v perish_v with_o thy_o body_n than_o a_o life_n be_v not_o worth_a the_o have_v but_o when_o thou_o shall_v think_v on_o thy_o deathbed_n here_o now_o be_v a_o disease_n consume_v thy_o body_n and_o send_v of_o thou_o to_o thy_o grave_n and_o now_o there_o be_v but_o a_o little_a time_n between_o thou_o and_o heaven_n that_o when_o i_o be_o a_o die_a i_o be_o in_o the_o very_a suburb_n of_o heaven_n a_o little_a breath_n between_o i_o and_o heaven_n o_o how_o shall_v this_o comfort_v a_o die_a man_n when_o that_o he_o have_v good_a evidence_n for_o heaven_n o_o this_o shall_v great_o comfort_v thou_o against_o thou_o come_v to_o die_v to_o think_v that_o thy_o dead-bed_n be_v the_o very_a suburb_n of_o heaven_n i_o have_v read_v what_o john_n say_v that_o write_v the_o revelarion_n when_o he_o be_v ready_a to_o die_v i_o do_v believe_v say_v he_o that_o in_o this_o very_a day_n my_o soul_n shall_v be_v present_v before_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n o_o think_v now_o thou_o be_v leave_v thy_o friend_n it_o will_v not_o be_v a_o day_n before_o christ_n and_o i_o shall_v meet_v in_o heaven_n as_o in_o the_o book_n of_o martyr_n we_o read_v that_o in_o queen_n mary_n time_n two_o friend_n be_v put_v to_o death_n together_o one_o of_o they_o be_v fearful_a to_o think_v that_o the_o flame_n shall_v scorch_v his_o flesh_n o_o say_v the_o other_o be_v of_o good_a comfort_n for_o half_a a_o hour_n hence_o thou_o shall_v be_v in_o heaven_n o_o think_v though_o thou_o be_v weak_a and_o sick_a even_o unto_o death_n yet_o that_o thou_o shall_v short_o be_v with_o jesus_n christ_n doubt_v not_o of_o the_o truth_n of_o this_o for_o i_o can_v even_o pawn_v my_o soul_n of_o the_o truth_n of_o it_o that_o the_o soul_n of_o the_o elect_n be_v take_v up_o into_o heaven_n immediate_o after_o death_n o_o then_o let_v not_o death_n trouble_v you_o doct._n 4_o the_o four_o doctrine_n here_o mention_v be_v the_o benefit_n of_o christ_n come_n and_o that_o be_v to_o raise_v your_o body_n from_o the_o dead_a and_o receive_v they_o to_o himself_o this_o be_v the_o particular_a that_o i_o be_o now_o to_o insist_v upon_o and_o receive_v you_o to_o myself_o obser_n the_o observation_n be_v this_o that_o the_o main_a end_n of_o christ_n come_n again_o be_v for_o to_o raise_v the_o body_n of_o the_o elect_n and_o to_o receive_v they_o to_o himself_o not_o only_o to_o save_v the_o soul_n immediate_o after_o death_n but_o to_o raise_v the_o body_n also_o there_o be_v two_o query_n in_o the_o doctrinal_a part_n of_o this_o point_n touch_v the_o end_n of_o christ_n come_n which_o be_v to_o raise_v the_o body_n of_o the_o elect_n and_o to_o receive_v they_o to_o himself_o first_o why_o jesus_n christ_n must_v raise_v the_o body_n of_o the_o elect_n and_o receive_v they_o to_o himself_o as_o well_o as_o the_o soul_n second_o when_o christ_n do_v receive_v the_o body_n to_o himself_o than_o what_o endowment_n do_v the_o body_n receive_v as_o now_o it_o have_v not_o first_o why_o must_v christ_n receive_v the_o body_n to_o himself_o as_o well_o as_o the_o soul_n there_o be_v four_o reason_n first_o because_o of_o the_o resurrection_n of_o his_o own_o body_n christ_n own_o body_n be_v raise_v from_o the_o dead_a and_o receive_v up_o into_o heaven_n and_o therefore_o the_o body_n of_o the_o elect_n must_v be_v there_o also_o where_o christ_n be_v there_o must_v his_o member_n be_v christ_n the_o head_n be_v raise_v from_o the_o dead_a and_o receive_v up_o into_o glory_n the_o apostle_n do_v give_v this_o reason_n 1_o cor._n 15._o 12._o now_o if_o christ_n be_v preach_v that_o he_o rise_v from_o the_o dead_a etc._n etc._n as_o if_o he_o shall_v have_v say_v christ_n be_v rise_v from_o the_o dead_a do_v argue_v that_o our_o body_n must_v rise_v from_o the_o grave_a though_o they_o be_v dead_a there_o in_o 1_o cor._n 6._o 14._o and_o god_n have_v both_o raise_v up_o the_o lord_n and_o will_v also_o raise_v up_o we_o by_o his_o own_o power_n 1_o thess_n 4._o 14._o for_o if_o we_o believe_v that_o jesus_n die_v and_o rise_v again_o even_o so_o they_o also_o which_o sleep_n in_o jesus_n will_v god_n bring_v with_o he_o so_o that_o because_o jesus_n christ_n body_n be_v raise_v from_o the_o dead_a and_o receive_v up_o into_o heaven_n therefore_o our_o body_n must_v be_v raise_v up_o and_o receive_v into_o glory_n with_o he_o second_o the_o body_n of_o the_o elect_n must_v be_v raise_v because_o of_o the_o inhabitation_n of_o the_o spirit_n the_o spirit_n do_v sanctify_v the_o body_n of_o the_o elect_n as_o well_o as_o the_o soul_n the_o very_a god_n of_o peace_n sanctify_v you_o throughout_o and_o i_o pray_v god_n that_o your_o soul_n spirit_n and_o body_n be_v keep_v blameless_a unto_o the_o come_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n 1_o cor._n 6._o 18_o 19_o 20._o flee_v fornication_n every_o sin_n that_o a_o man_n do_v be_v without_o the_o body_n but_o he_o that_o commit_v fornication_n sin_v against_o his_o own_o body_n what_o know_v you_o not_o that_o your_o body_n be_v the_o temple_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n which_o be_v in_o you_o which_o you_o have_v of_o god_n and_o you_o be_v not_o your_o own_o for_o you_o be_v buy_v with_o a_o price_n therefore_o glorify_v god_n in_o your_o body_n and_o in_o your_o spirit_n which_o be_v go_n now_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n have_v a_o gracious_a work_n in_o the_o body_n as_o well_o as_o the_o soul_n therefore_o the_o body_n must_v be_v raise_v up_o from_o the_o dead_a as_o well_o as_o the_o soul_n and_o this_o the_o scripture_n make_v a_o argument_n of_o the_o resurrection_n in_o rom._n 8._o 11._o but_o if_o the_o spirit_n of_o he_o that_o raise_v up_o jesus_n from_o the_o dead_a dwell_v in_o you_o he_o that_o raise_v up_o christ_n from_o the_o dead_a shall_v also_o quicken_v your_o mortal_a body_n by_o his_o spirit_n that_o dwell_v in_o you_o so_o that_o spirit_n that_o raise_v up_o christ_n from_o the_o dead_a if_o that_o dwell_v in_o you_o and_o the_o grace_n of_o the_o spirit_n that_o spirit_n shall_v quicken_v your_o mortal_a body_n therefore_o the_o body_n of_o the_o elect_n shall_v be_v raise_v from_o the_o dead_a and_o receive_v into_o glory_n with_o the_o soul_n three_o because_o the_o body_n have_v a_o conjunction_n and_o co-operation_n with_o the_o soul_n in_o all_o gracious_a work_n the_o body_n shall_v be_v partner_n with_o the_o soul_n be_v receive_v unto_o jesus_n christ_n because_o the_o body_n do_v cooperate_v with_o the_o soul_n rom._n 8._o 13._o for_o if_o you_o live_v after_o the_o flesh_n you_o shall_v die_v but_o if_o you_o through_o the_o spirit_n do_v mortify_v the_o deed_n of_o the_o flesh_n you_o shall_v live_v now_o be_v that_o the_o godly_a do_v mortify_v the_o deed_n of_o the_o body_n and_o do_v expose_v their_o body_n to_o torture_n and_o torment_n for_o jesus_n christ_n now_o because_o the_o body_n of_o the_o elect_n do_v cooperate_v with_o the_o soul_n in_o good_a therefore_o the_o body_n shall_v be_v copartner_n with_o the_o soul_n in_o good_a
