occasion_n to_o that_o fond_a opinion_n of_o some_o that_o christ_n descend_v into_o hell_n and_o there_o undergo_v the_o pain_n and_o penalty_n of_o that_o infernal_a place_n as_o full_a satisfaction_n to_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n and_o that_o these_o be_v the_o pain_n god_n raise_v or_o loose_v he_o from_o in_o his_o resurrection_n but_o this_o conceit_n be_v erroneous_a and_o extravagant_a and_o deserve_v no_o serious_a confutation_n especial_o because_o it_o plain_o contradict_v christ_n consummatum_fw-la est_fw-la upon_o the_o cross_n for_o when_o christ_n have_v

which_o after_o many_o dolorous_a pain_n he_o suffer_v it_o follow_v it_o be_v not_o possible_a he_o shall_v be_v hold_v of_o it_o this_o be_v that_o i_o intend_v principal_o to_o insist_v upon_o and_o here_o i_o shall_v show_v upon_o what_o account_n it_o be_v altogether_o impossible_a for_o christ_n to_o be_v detain_v under_o the_o power_n of_o death_n and_o my_o argument_n for_o the_o proof_n hereof_o be_v these_o that_o follow_v death_n reasins_z why_o christ_n can_v not_o be_v hold_v under_o the_o power_n of_o death_n first_o it_o be_v impossible_a christ_n shall_v be_v hold_v under_o the_o power_n of_o death_n because_o of_o that_o great_a and_o ineffable_a mystery_n of_o the_o hypostatical_a union_n of_o the_o divine_a and_o humane_a nature_n in_o the_o person_n of_o christ_n union_n because_o of_o the_o hypostatical_a union_n there_o be_v three_o union_n the_o belief_n of_o which_o be_v the_o foundation_n of_o the_o great_a part_n of_o the_o christian_a religion_n which_o be_v whole_o beyond_o the_o reach_n of_o reason_n the_o mystical_a union_n of_o a_o believer_n unto_o christ_n the_o union_n or_o rather_o unity_n of_o the_o three_o glorious_a person_n the_o father_n the_o son_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o one_o nature_n and_o this_o hypostatical_a union_n of_o two_o nature_n in_o one_o person_n in_o the_o mediator_n it_o be_v a_o mystery_n angel_n pry_v into_o and_o adore_v with_o wonder_n and_o astonishment_n how_o the_o eternal_a only_o beget_v son_n of_o god_n shall_v assume_v flesh_n to_o himself_o in_o so_o close_a and_o

yet_o he_o shall_v raise_v himself_o to_o life_n again_o these_o be_v thing_n that_o seem_v very_o inconsistent_a one_o with_o another_o yet_o they_o true_o come_v to_o pass_v through_o this_o miraculous_a union_n which_o transcend_v the_o reach_n of_o reason_n as_o far_o as_o these_o thing_n do_v that_o of_o nature_n that_o the_o same_o person_n that_o be_v eternal_a shall_v be_v young_a

he_o to_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n with_o power_n as_o the_o apostle_n speak_v 4●_n rom._n 1_o 4●_n even_o by_o his_o resurrection_n from_o the_o dead_a and_o indeed_o if_o he_o have_v not_o rise_v from_o the_o dead_a the_o deity_n will_v have_v suffer_v in_o the_o opinion_n of_o the_o world_n nor_o will_v they_o have_v believe_v he_o to_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n who_o will_v suffer_v himself_o to_o lie_v under_o the_o dominion_n of_o death_n long_o than_o the_o end_n of_o his_o death_n require_v it_o and_o this_o i_o shall_v demonstrate_v to_o you_o by_o two_o argument_n only_o premise_v this_o which_o be_v a_o common_a and_o true_a maxim_n among_o divine_n that_o when_o the_o natural_a union_n between_o christ_n body_n and_o soul_n be_v dissolve_v yet_o both_o soul_n and_o body_n do_v retain_v the_o hypostatical_a union_n to_o the_o divine_a nature_n the_o divine_a nature_n be_v unite_v to_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n when_o the_o soul_n be_v separate_v from_o it_o i._o if_o christ_n can_v not_o have_v raise_v himself_o it_o must_v have_v be_v either_o from_o a_o want_n of_o power_n or_o from_o a_o want_n of_o will_n to_o do_v it_o he_o can_v not_o want_v power_n to_o raise_v himself_o because_o he_o be_v god_n equal_a in_o power_n and_o in_o all_o other_o divine_a attribute_n with_o the_o father_n as_o the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o dead_a be_v not_o impossible_a to_o the_o infinite_a power_n of_o god_n so_o neither_o can_v it_o be_v that_o that_o god_n who_o have_v a_o will_n to_o assume_v our_o flesh_n shall_v want_v a_o will_v to_o raise_v it_o up_o that_o that_o god_n who_o so_o love_v the_o humane_a nature_n as_o to_o associate_v it_o into_o oneness_n of_o person_n with_o himself_o shall_v yet_o suffer_v it_o to_o continue_v under_o the_o power_n of_o death_n which_o be_v of_o all_o thing_n most_o contrary_a to_o his_o natural_a inclination_n we_o see_v christ_n in_o his_o agony_n pray_v most_o fervent_o that_o the_o bitter_a cup_n may_v pass_v from_o he_o insomuch_o that_o he_o strain_v clot_v blood_n through_o he_o and_o certain_o one_o ingredient_n into_o that_o cup_n be_v the_o separation_n of_o soul_n and_o body_n by_o death_n which_o be_v that_o which_o even_o innocent_a nature_n itself_o abhor_v as_o destructive_a to_o he_o yet_o have_v take_v our_o nature_n upon_o he_o for_o this_o very_a end_n that_o by_o death_n he_o may_v destroy_v he_o that_o have_v the_o power_n of_o death_n that_o be_v 14._o heb._n 2_o 14._o the_o devil_n he_o voluntary_o submit_v himself_o to_o undergo_v it_o and_o this_o end_n be_v full_o accomplish_v by_o his_o death_n and_o the_o truth_n of_o his_o death_n likewise_o attest_v by_o his_o lie_v three_o day_n in_o the_o earth_n it_o be_v altogether_o impossible_a that_o that_o person_n who_o have_v a_o abhorrence_n of_o death_n and_o a_o power_n to_o raise_v himself_o shall_v continue_v long_o under_o the_o arrest_n and_o dominion_n of_o it_o and_o this_o be_v the_o first_o demonstration_n of_o the_o necessity_n of_o the_o resurrection_n of_o christ_n upon_o the_o account_n of_o both_o nature_n in_o one_o person_n as_o man_n so_o he_o abhor_v the_o separation_n of_o soul_n and_o body_n as_o god_n so_o he_o be_v able_a to_o reunite_v they_o so_o that_o have_v as_o man_z a_o desire_n to_o live_v and_o as_o god_n a_o power_n to_o live_v it_o be_v impossible_a for_o he_o to_o be_v hold_v of_o death_n ii_o because_o of_o the_o union_n of_o the_o divine_a and_o humane_a nature_n in_o the_o person_n of_o christ_n it_o be_v impossible_a that_o his_o flesh_n shall_v see_v corruption_n which_o yet_o it_o must_v certain_o have_v do_v have_v he_o not_o be_v raise_v in_o a_o short_a space_n after_o his_o death_n for_o since_o christ_n body_n be_v not_o a_o fantastical_a body_n as_o some_o of_o old_a hold_v but_o make_v of_o true_a flesh_n and_o of_o the_o same_o temper_n and_o constitution_n with_o we_o it_o must_v without_o a_o miracle_n have_v undergo_v such_o change_n after_o death_n as_o we_o shall_v do_v and_o to_o imagine_v the_o contrary_a be_v but_o to_o feign_v one_o miracle_n to_o avoid_v the_o necessity_n of_o another_o even_o of_o the_o resurrection_n but_o now_o it_o be_v utter_o impossible_a that_o that_o body_n that_o be_v unite_v to_o both_o nature_n by_o so_o close_a and_o unconceivable_a a_o bond_n shall_v ever_o see_v corruption_n that_o be_v a_o putrefaction_n in_o the_o grave_a this_o the_o scripture_n clear_o assert_n to_o we_o 2.28_o act._n 2.28_o thou_o will_v not_o leave_v my_o soul_n in_o hell_n neither_o will_v thou_o suffer_v thy_o holy_a one_o to_o see_v corruption_n and_o also_o because_o all_o body_n that_o be_v corrupt_v turn_n into_o some_o other_o thing_n and_o some_o other_o nature_n according_a to_o that_o undoubted_a maxim_n of_o the_o philosopher_n corruptio_fw-la unius_fw-la est_fw-la generatio_fw-la alterius_fw-la and_o so_o this_o horrid_a and_o blasphemous_a consequence_n

world_n who_o mind_n be_v too_o deep_o tincture_v with_o contrary_a notion_n that_o they_o look_v upon_o the_o christian_a religion_n as_o a_o design_n rather_o to_o destroy_v reason_n than_o to_o
