frame_v this_o argument_n that_o the_o spirit_n return_v no_o more_o into_o the_o body_n see_v it_o be_v say_v that_o it_o shall_v not_o know_v the_o place_n thereof_o any_o more_o but_o they_o will_v say_v that_o they_o make_v hereon_o a_o false_a collection_n because_o the_o place_n of_o the_o resurrection_n be_v very_o manifest_a against_o this_o manner_n of_o reason_v yea_o and_o they_o themselves_o make_v a_o ill_a collection_n who_o argument_n be_v common_a with_o the_o rest_n and_o that_o say_v in_o the_o book_n call_v ecclesiasticus_fw-la be_v almost_o like_a for_o there_o it_o be_v say_v the_o number_n of_o a_o man_n day_n for_o the_o more_o part_n be_v a_o hundred_o year_n and_o no_o man_n have_v certain_a knowledge_n of_o his_o death_n as_o drop_n of_o rain_n be_v unto_o

from_o our_o nature_n that_o we_o have_v a_o firm_a and_o everlasting_a perseveraunce_n and_o thus_o you_o see_v what_o the_o controversy_n be_v which_o we_o have_v against_o david_n who_o they_o

to_o wit_n that_o though_o it_o be_v so_o that_o by_o death_n be_v very_o often_o and_o as_o it_o be_v always_o mean_v the_o separation_n of_o this_o life_n and_o by_o this_o word_n hell_n the_o

withal_o i_o will_v have_v they_o to_o answer_v i_o simple_o and_o plain_o what_o hope_v they_o have_v of_o the_o resurrection_n 13.20.21_o colo._n 1.18_o apoc._n 1.5_o 1._o cor._n 13.20.21_o without_o it_o be_v that_o christ_n rise_v again_o for_o he_o be_v the_o first_o bear_v of_o the_o dead_a and_o the_o first_o fruit_n of_o those_o that_o rise_v again_o for_o as_o he_o die_v and_o

they_o need_v not_o to_o fear_v the_o curse_n thereof_o which_o be_v the_o thing_n that_o saint_n paul_n mean_v when_o he_o say_v 3.10.11_o phil._n 3.10.11_o that_o he_o be_v make_v like_o unto_o

how_o christ_n jesus_n die_v do_v you_o in_o your_o conscience_n think_v that_o he_o sleep_v when_o as_o he_o wake_v for_o your_o salvation_n he_o speak_v not_o thus_o of_o himself_o 5.26_o john_n 5.26_o as_o the_o father_n say_v he_o have_v life_n in_o himself_o so_o also_o have_v he_o give_v to_o his_o son_n to_o have_v life_n in_o himself_o and_o he_o that_o have_v the_o power_n of_o life_n in_o himself_o how_o it_o be_v possible_a for_o he_o to_o lose_v it_o and_o i_o trust_v they_o will_v not_o say_v that_o this_o belong_v to_o the_o deity_n for_o if_o it_o be_v give_v to_o he_o that_o have_v it_o not_o it_o be_v then_o give_v to_o his_o humanity_n to_o have_v life_n in_o itself_o and_o not_o to_o his_o deity_n for_o see_v that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o man_n that_o which_o be_v by_o nature_n as_o god_n the_o same_o be_v by_o grace_n as_o man_n to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v all_o receive_v of_o his_o fullness_n grace_n for_o grace_n when_o man_n do_v hear_v that_o life_n be_v in_o god_n what_o hope_n may_v they_o conceive_v thereof_o whenas_o they_o may_v also_o very_a well_o know_v that_o their_o sin_n do_v set_v a_o cloud_n betwixt_o god_n and_o they_o but_o here_o be_v the_o only_a true_a &_o great_a comfort_n that_o the_o father_n have_v anoint_v his_o christ_n with_o the_o oil_n of_o gladness_n above_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o his_o fellow_n that_o jesus_n christ_n as_o man_n have_v receive_v of_o his_o father_n gift_n in_o man_n to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v find_v life_n in_o our_o nature_n and_o for_o this_o cause_n we_o read_v that_o the_o multitude_n glorify_v god_n after_o that_o the_o child_n be_v raise_v up_o again_o forsomuch_o as_o he_o have_v give_fw-ge such_fw-mi power_n unto_o man_n and_o this_o know_v cyrill_n right_o well_o who_o agree_v with_o we_o in_o the_o explain_v of_o this_o place_n now_o when_o we_o say_v that_o jesus_n christ_n have_v life_n in_o himself_o in_o that_o he_o be_v man_n we_o do_v not_o say_v that_o he_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o life_n to_o himself_o but_o only_o this_o that_o the_o heavenly_a father_n have_v pour_v all_o fullness_n of_o life_n in_o the_o manhood_n of_o his_o son_n jesus_n christ_n which_o thing_n may_v be_v give_v we_o to_o understand_v by_o a_o familiar_a similitude_n the_o fountain_n from_o which_o all_o man_n do_v draw_v water_n and_o from_o which_o the_o small_a creek_n and_o arm_n do_v run_v and_o flow_v be_v say_v to_o have_v water_n of_o itself_o &_o yet_o come_v not_o as_o of_o itself_o but_o from_o the_o spring_n which_o daily_o feed_v it_o and_o from_o the_o flow_a stream_n and_o be_v sufficient_a for_o all_o man_n to_o draw_v out_o of_o even_o so_o then_o jesus_n christ_n have_v life_n in_o himself_o to_o wit_n the_o fullness_n of_o life_n wherewith_o he_o lyve_v and_o quicken_v he_o and_o yet_o have_v he_o it_o not_o as_o of_o himself_o as_o he_o wytness_v in_o a_o other_o place_n that_o he_o live_v because_o of_o his_o father_n and_o whenas_o he_o have_v life_n in_o in_o himself_o as_o god_n yet_o when_o he_o take_v upon_o he_o the_o nature_n of_o man_n he_o receive_v this_o gift_n of_o his_o father_n that_o he_o may_v also_o have_v life_n in_o that_o behalf_n in_o himself_o these_o thing_n do_v most_o certain_o assure_v we_o that_o christ_n can_v not_o be_v destroy_v by_o death_n no_o not_o as_o he_o be_v man_n and_o although_o he_o be_v true_o and_o natural_o put_v to_o death_n whereof_o we_o must_v all_o die_v yet_o hold_v he_o always_o this_o gift_n of_o his_o father_n this_o be_v a_o true_a death_n and_o a_o true_a separation_n of_o the_o body_n and_o soul_n yet_o the_o soul_n never_o lose_v her_o life_n which_o be_v commend_v unto_o his_o father_n can_v not_o choose_v but_o be_v save_v and_o this_o
