a_o long_a separation_n there_o be_v little_a doubt_n but_o god_n can_v raise_v the_o dead_a but_o the_o great_a question_n lie_v in_o his_o will_n whether_o he_o will_v or_o no._n therefore_o 2._o the_o scripture_n reveal_v his_o will_n herein_o he_o that_o in_o the_o scripture_n have_v promise_v that_o he_o will_v raise_v the_o dead_a be_v so_o powerful_a and_o faithful_a he_o will_v certain_o
