to_o sit_v in_o judgement_n over_o both_o quick_a and_o dead_a but_o it_o be_v a_o ordinary_a question_n whether_o those_o who_o christ_n shall_v find_v alive_a at_o his_o come_n who_o the_o apostle_n

how_o then_o shall_v those_o who_o christ_n shall_v find_v alive_a be_v quicken_v in_o he_o by_o immortality_n unless_o they_o do_v first_o die_v if_o these_o word_n of_o the_o apostle_n be_v true_a

christ_n at_o his_o come_n shall_v find_v in_o the_o body_n for_o those_o be_v not_o sow_v because_o they_o neither_o go_v to_o the_o earth_n nor_o return_v from_o it_o how-so-eve_a they_o have_v a_o

therefore_o if_o we_o do_v but_o avouch_v that_o the_o saint_n who_o christ_n shall_v find_v in_o the_o flesh_n and_o who_o shall_v meet_v he_o in_o the_o air_n do_v in_o this_o rapture_n leave_v
