EEBO-TCP is a partnership between the Universities of Michigan and Oxford and the publisher ProQuest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by ProQuest via their Early English Books Online (EEBO) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). The general aim of EEBO-TCP is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic English-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in EEBO.
EEBO-TCP aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org).
The EEBO-TCP project was divided into two phases. The 25,363 texts created during Phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 January 2015. Anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source.
Users should be aware of the process of creating the TCP texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data.
Text selection was based on the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature (NCBEL). If an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in NCBEL, then their works are eligible for inclusion. Selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. In general, first editions of a works in English were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably Latin and Welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so.
Image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. Quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in Oxford and Michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet QA standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. After proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. Any remaining illegibles were encoded as <gap>s. Understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of TCP data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. Users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a TCP editor.
The texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level 4 of the TEI in Libraries guidelines.
Copies of the texts have been issued variously as SGML (TCP schema; ASCII text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable XML (TCP schema; characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless XML (TEI P5, characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or TEI g elements).

A
TESTIMONY
AGAINST
THAT
False
&
Absurd
Opinion
Which
some
hold
,
Viz.
That
all
True
Believers
and
Saints
immediately
after
the
Bodily
Death
attain
to
all
the
Resurrection
they
expect
,
and
enter
into
the
fullest
Enjoyment
of
Happiness
.
AND
ALSO
That
the
Wicked
,
immediately
after
Death
,
are
raised
up
to
receive
all
the
Punishment
they
are
to
expect
.
Together
with
a
Scriptural
Account
of
the
Resurrection
of
the
Dead
,
Day
of
Judgment
,
and
Christ's
last
Coming
and
Appearance
without
us
.
Also
,
Where
,
and
What
those
Heavens
are
into
which
the
Man
Christ
is
gone
,

WHereas
many
hurtful
and
dangerous
Errors
have
taken
place
among
too
many
called
Christians
,
which
are
some
of
the
Tares
and
evil
Seeds
that
Sathan
hath
sown
while
men
have
slept
in
the
dark
Night
of
Apostacy
,
and
that
now
some
do
think
they
are
awakened
and
come
to
the
Day
,
and
in
the
Light
of
Gods
Day
see
into
the
true
Christian
Doctrine
,
and
pretend
to
great
Openings
,
and
Discoveries
,
and
Revelations
,
and
yet
some
even
of
such
hold
some
false
and
unchristian
Opinions
;
of
which
there
are
not
a
few
concerning
the
Resurrection
of
the
Dead
,
although
the
Testimony
of
the
holy
Scriptures
is
very
full
and
clear
against
these
dangerous
and
hurtful
Opinions
and
Principles
,
imbraced
by
some
as
if
they
were
true
Christian
Doctrines
.
Some
alledging
,
That
there
is
no
Resurrection
of
the
Body
at
all
,
or
That
there
is
nothing
of
the
Body
that
dyeth
that
riseth
again
.
Others
alledging
,
That
the
Resurrection
is
past
already
,
and
all
the
Resurrection
they
expect
they
have
already
attained
,
being
(
as
they
pretend
)
risen
with
Christ
in
all
respects
.
Others
say
,
Their
vile
or
low
Body
is
already
changed
,
and
made
conform
to
his
glorious
Body
.
Others
say
,
They
receive
all
the
Resurrection
they
do
expect
immediately
after
Death
.
All
which
are
most
dangerous
and
unchristian
Principles
,
and
are
directly
contrary
to
the
holy
Scriptures
;
for
there
were
in
Pauls
time
who
said
,
The
Resurrection
was
past
already
,
and
did
overthrow
the
Faith
of
some
,
such
as
Hymeneus
and
Philetus
,
whose
words
did
eat
as
a
Canker
,
as
he
declared
,
2
Tim.

And
such
who
say
,
Their
〈◊〉
body
is
changed
,
and
made
conform
to
the
glorious
Body
of
Christ
,
contradict
the
Scripture
,
and
speak
reproachfully
,
but
ignorantly
against
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ
;
for
Paul
useth
these
words
by
way
of
Prophecy
,
as
a
thing
not
then
fullfilled
,
but
a
thing
to
be
fulfilled
at
the
Resurrection
of
the
Dead

Who
shall
change
our
vile
(
or
low
)
Body
,
that
it
may
be
fashioned
like
unto
his
glorious
Body
,
&c.
He
doth
not
say
,
that
the
Body
was
already
changed
,
and
made
like
to
the
Body
of
Christ
,
but
by
way
of
Prophecy
related
it
as
a
thing
to
come
;
for
the
washing
and
cleansing
of
the
Body
from
sin
,
is
not
that
change
,
but
it
is
necessary
to
prepare
unto
it
;
for
even
after
the
Bodies
of
the
Saints
are
washed
and
cleansed
from
sin
,
they
remain
low
,
and
weak
,
and
mortal
,
and
corruptible
,
subject
to
Hunger
,
Cold
,
Heat
,
Diseases
,
and
Death
,
and
therefore
are
not
made
like
to
his
glorious
Body
until
the
Resurrection
of
the
Dead
.
And
such
who
say
,
Nothing
of
the
Body
that
dyeth
riseth
again
,
do
plainly
contradict
the
Testimony
of
the
holy
Spirit
recorded
in
Scripture
,
and
especially
1
Cor.
15.

,
38.
for
according
to
the
Example
that
the
Wisdom
of
God
giveth
of
the
Grain
of
Corn
,
whereby
to
open
the
Mystery
of
the
Resurrection
,
as
the
true
Body
of
the
Seed
in
the
Grain
riseth
,
so
that
out
of
the
old
Body
a
new
Body
doth
arise
,
but
the
Husk
or
Drossy
part
riseth
not
;
even
so
is
the
Resurrection
of
the
Dead
:
Therefore
the
new
Resurrection
Body
is
raised
out
of
the
old
Body
,
as
the
new
Grain
of
Corn
riseth
out
of
the
old
;
but
if
the
Body
of
the
Grain
of
Corn
did
wholly
perish
or
come
to
Dust
,
nothing
could
arise
;
which
is
a
plain
Example
given
us
by
the
the
Wisdom
of
God
;
and
that
which
rises
is
the
Mortal
that
putteth
on
Immortality
,
and
the
Corruptible
that
putteth
on
Incorruption
,
and
is
not
raised
Flesh
and
Blood
,
such
as
men
now
have
,
but
yet
a
true
Body
;
for
Flesh
and
Blood
cannot
inherit
the
Kingdom
of
God
,
neither
doth
Corruption
inherit
Incorruption
;
but
the
true
Body
of
Man
and
Woman
that
shall
arise
at
the
Resurrection
of
the
Dead
,
lieth
hid
within
this
visible
gross
appearance
of
Flesh
and
Blood
,
even
as
the
true
Body
of
the
Seed
in
the
Grain
of
Corn
lieth
within
the
Husk
,
or
as
the
precious
Gold
lieth
within
the
course
Mineral
or
Mine
until
the
pure
and
precious
Metal
be
seperated
from
the
Dross
.
And
because
this
Seperation
is
not
immediately
effected
,
but
requireth
a
Time
after
Death
,
and
that
even
when
the
Seperation
is
made
,
the
Body
remaineth
,
and
is
lodged
by
the
divine
Providence
,
that
giveth
to
every
thing
its
proper
place
,
as
in
a
certain
invisible
Grave
or
Sepulchre
,
that
was
mysteriously
figured
by
the
Burial
place
called
Machpelah
,
)
that
signifieth
a
double
or
two
fold
Sepulchre
)
Gen.
23.
which
Abraham
purchased
from
Ephron
the
Hittite
,
(
which
word
Ephron
signifieth
the
Dust-eater
)
for
four
hundred
pieces
of
Silver
:
The
which
,
as
it
is
litterally
true
,
so
is
an
Allegory
,
and
points
at
the
Resurrection
of
the
Body
out
of
the
Mystical
and
Invisible
Machpelah
or
Sepulchre
in
Hebron
(
which
signifieth
bordering
)
in
the
Land
of
Israel
,
figuratively
and
Mystically
understood
;
and
by
four
hundred
pieces
of
Silver
,
as
by
so
many
Virtues
,
signified
by
Silver
,
this
most
excellent
Burial
place
is
purchased
from
Ephron
;
but
he
who
hath
not
these
Virtues
cannot
have
the
Priviledge
to
be
buried
in
this
most
excellent
Burial
place
,
and
therefore
an
Vntimely
Birth
is
better
than
he
,
as
the
holy
Scripture
declareth
,
Eccles
.
6.
3.
For
it
is
no
such
Misery
nor
Unhappiness
not
to
have
an
outward
and
visible
Sepulchre
,
which
many
of
the
dear
Children
of
God
have
not
had
;
but
surely
they
have
this
other
more
excellent
Burial
in
the
Mystical
Hebron
,
in
the
Mystical
Land
of
Israel
,
where
all
the
dead
Bodies
of
the
Saints
shall
be
raised
up
,
and
stand
with
the
Lamb
upon
Mount
Zion
,
to
wit
,
not
the
litteral
Zion
,
but
the
Mystical
Now
,
that
the
Bodies
of
the
Saints
are
not
raised
up
immediately
after
Death
,
or
after
the
Spirit
goeth
out
of
the
Body
(
although
the
Souls
and
Spirits
of
the
Righteous
,
and
of
all
the
faithful
,
both
Men
and
Women
,
who
dye
in
the
Faith
of
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ
,
do
immediately
go
unto
God
and
Christ
in
Heaven
,
and
enter
into
a
very
great
and
large
enjoyment
of
the
heavenly
Blessedness
,
after
the
Bodily
decease
)
is
clear
from
many
express
Testimonies
of
the
holy
Scripture
.
For
the
deceased
Saints
,
though
their
Souls
and
Spirits
are
alive
with
the
Lord
in
Heaven
,
and
do
not
sleep
,
but
are
awake
,
and
praise
God
continually
;
yet
they
are
said
to
be
a
sleep
in
respect
of
their
Bodies
,
which
are
rather
fallen
a
sleep
than
dead
,
and
are
said
to
sleep
in
Christ
,
to
wit
,
under
his
divine
Care
and
Protection
,
until
he
awaken
them
;
for
which
,
I
shall
cite
these
following
Scriptures
,
1
Kings
2.
10.
So
David
slept
with
his
Fathers
,
and
was
buried
in
the
City
of
David
;
Deut.
39.
16.
Behold
,
thou
shalt
sleep
with
thy
Fathers
,
said
the
Lord
unto
Moses
;
1
Cor
15.
20.
Now
is
Christ
risen
from
the
dead
,
and
become
the
first
Fruits
of
them
that
sleep
,
viz.
because
he
arose
from
the
Dead
the
third
day
;
1
Thes
.
4.
14.
For
if
we
believe
that
Jesus
Dyed
,
and
rose
again
,
even
so
them
also
which
sleep
in
Jesus
,
will
God
bring
with
him
;
for
this
we
say
unto
you
by
the
Word
of
the
Lord
,
That
we
which
are
alive
,
and
remain
unto
the
Coming
of
the
Lord
,
shall
not
prevent
them
which
are
a
sleep
;
for
the
Lord
himself
shall
descend
from
Heaven
,
with
a
shout
,
with
the
Voice
of
the
Arch-Angel
,
and
with
the
Trump
of
God
,
and
the
Dead
in
Christ
shall
rise
first
.
All
which
places
plainly
show
,
that
though
the
Saints
,
as
with
respect
to
their
Souls
,
are
raised
up
,
and
ascended
,
and
are
with
God
and
Christ
in
Heaven
,
yet
as
to
their
Bodies
they
are
a
sleep
,
and
have
not
attained
to
the
Resurrection
of
the
Body
;
for
if
they
had
attained
to
the
Bodily
Resurrection
;
Paul
would
not
have
writ
of
them
by
way
of
Prophecy
;
in
the
future
,
or
time
to
come
,
saying
,
The
Dead
in
Christ
shall
rise
first
,
to
wit
,
at
the
Voice
of
the
Arch-Angel
,
and
Trump
of
God.
Now
what
this
Trump
or
Trumpet
is
,
both
Paul
and
John
declareth
,
and
the
Time
about
which
it
is
to
found
,
1
Cor.
15.
52.
In
a
Moment
,
in
the
Twinkling
of
an
Eye
,
at
the
last
Trump
,
and
the
Dead
shall
be
raised
Incorruptible
,
and
we
shall
be
changed
.

And
the
seventh
Angel
sounded
,
(
which
seventh
is
the

&c.
and
vers
.

Thy
Wrath
is
come
,
and
the
Time
of
the
Dead
,
that
they
should
be
judged
,
and
that
thou
shouldest
give
Reward
unto
thy
Servants
,
the
Prophets
,
and
thy
Saints
,
and
them
that
fear
thy
Name
,
both
small
and
great
.
And
because
Paul
,
1
Cor.
15.
layeth
down
the
Resurrection
of
Christs
Body
from
the
dead
,
as
the
ground
why
true
Believers
,
which
are
his
Members
,
shall
attain
to
the
Resurrection
of
their
Body
,
it
manifestly
appeareth
,
that
they
are
to
attain
unto
it
at
the
end
of
the
World
,
or
at
the
last
Trumpet
,
as
above
mentioned
(
yet
it
may
well
be
allowed
,
that
some
did
attain
to
the
Resurrection
of
the
Body
immediately
after
Christs
Resurrection
,
according
to
Mat.
27.
52
,
53
And
the
Graves
were
opened
,
and
many
Bodies
of
Saints
which
slept
,
arose
,
and
came
out
of
the
Graves
after
his
Resurrection
,
and
went
into
the
holy
City
,
and
appeared
unto
many
,
)
And
therefore
the
deceased
Saints
,
have
not
generally
attained
the
Resurrection
of
the
Dead
,
as
touching
the
Resurrection
of
the
Body
,
but
do
wait
for
it
until
the
sound
of
the
last
Trumpet
;
Nor
did
any
of
the
Saints
attain
the
Resurrection
of
the
Body
before
Christs
Body
rose
from
the
dead
,
because
he
is
expresly
called
,
The
first
begotten
from
the
Diad
,
and
The
first
Fruits
that
goeth
before
the
Harvest
:
And
therefore
none
did
attain
the
Bodily
Resurrection
before
him
,
neither
Aenoch
nor
Elias
;
for
though
they
were
taken
up
,
yet
it
is
not
said
,
they
had
attained
the
Resurrection
of
the
Body
;
it
only
implieth
some
particular
Priviledge
,
that
they
did
not
taste
of
Death
,
as
other
men
;
and
the
like
may
be
said
of
Moses
,
whose
Body
was
more
pure
and
excellent
than
that
of
other
men
,
and
therefore
Michael
the
Arch-Angel
did
contend
with
the
Devil
about
the
Poly
of
Moses
,
and
would
not
let
him
touch
it
,
as
being
more
excellent
;
and
therefore
it
is
said
,
God
buried
him
,
and
no
man
knoweth
of
his
Burial
place
to
this
Day
.
Moreover
,
it
is
very
plain
from
Scripture
,
that
the
deceased
Saints
,
who
lived
from
the
beginning
of
the
World
,
although
their
Souls
and
Spirits
did
ascend
unto
God
and
Christ
in
Heaven
,
yet
waited
for
the
Resurrection
of
the
Body
,
and
that
more
abundant
Glory
that
should
follow
thereupon
;
for
it
is
said
,
Heb.
11.
13.
These
all
dyed
in
Faith
,
not
having
received
the
Promises
,
but
having
seen
then
afaer
off
,
and
were
perswaded
of
them
,
and
imbraced
them
,
&c.
And
vers
.
39
,
40.
All
these
having
obtained
a
good
Report
through
Faith
,
received
not
the
Promise
,
God
having
provided
some
better
things
for
us
,
that
they
without
us
should
not
be
made
Perfect
.
Now
what
this
Promise
is
;
is
clear
from
Vers
.
35.
And
others
were
Tortured
,
not
accepting
Deliverance
,
that
they
might
obtain
the
better
Resurrection
;
which
is
the
Resurrection
of
the
Just
,
that
is
better
than
the
Resurrection
of
the
Unjust
.
Now
if
some
say
,
The
Promise
that
they
waited
for
was
Christs
Coming
in
the
Flesh
.
I
Answer
;
As
it
was
that
in
part
,
so
it
was
not
only
that
,
but
all
that
Felicity
and
Happiness
that
should
come
unto
them
by
the
Coming
of
Christ
in
the
Flesh
,
and
his
Death
and
Resurrection
,
to
wit
,
the
perfect
Victory
over
Death
,
which
is
not
fully
obtained
until
the
Mortal
put
on
Immortality
,
and
the
Corruptible
put
on
Incorruption
,
as
it
is
written
,
So
when
this
Corruptible
shall
put
on
Incorruption
,
and
this
Mortal
shall
have
put
on
Immortality
,
then
shall
be
brought
to
pass
the
Saying
that
is
written
,
Death
is
swallowed
up
in
Victory
,
O
Death
!
where
is
thy
Sting
!
O
Grave
!
where
is
thy
Victory
,
&c.
And
that
very
first
Promise
that
God
gave
to
Mankind
after
the
Fall
,
did
relate
to
this
Victory
over
Death
,
That
the
Seed
of
the
Woman
,
(
which
is
Christ
Jesus
)
should
bruse
the
Head
of
the
Serpent
;
for
though
the
Head
of
the
Serpent
was
inwardly
bruised
,
as
in
respect
of
the
inward
Redemption
,
Salvation
and
Deliverance
of
the
Souls
of
all
the
Faithful
in
all
Ages
of
the
World
,
both
before
and
after
Christ
came
in
the
Flesh
,
yet
until
they
attain
unto
the
Resurrection
of
the
Body
,
the
Head
of
the
Serpent
is
not
,
in
all
respects
,
bruised
,
because
the
last
Enemy
,
that
is
to
be
destroyed
,
is
Death
,
who
is
not
fully
destroyed
until
the
Bodies
of
the
Saints
be
raised
from
Death
;
for
by
Adams
Fall
,
Death
,
both
of
Soul
and
Body
came
upon
him
,
and
his
Posterity
,
(
as
is
at
large
demonstrated
in
another
Treatise
of
G.
K's
;
)
and
by
Christ's
Death
and
Resurrection
,
to
all
who
sincerely
believe
in
him
,
and
obey
him
,
that
twofold
Death
is
removed
,
the
Death
of
the
Soul
,
through
Faith
in
him
,
and
that
inward
quickening
,
and
being
raised
with
him
,
who
is
the
Resurrection
and
the
Life
,
now
in
the
Morta
state
;
but
the
Death
of
the
Body
at
the
Resurrection
of
the
Dead
,
[
see
this
Twofold
Resurrection
,
the
one
of
the
Soul
the
other
of
the
body
,
expresly
mentioned
John
5.
25
,
28.
]
And
who
say
,
That
the
faithful
immediately
after
Death
,
receive
the
Resurrection
of
the
Body
,
and
all
that
fullness
of
Glory
and
Happiness
that
they
are
to
expect
forever
:
As
it
doth
tend
to
overthrow
a
principal
Article
of
the
Christian
Faith
,
touching
the
Resurrection
of
the
Dead
,
so
it
tendeth
to
overthrow
that
other
great
and
principal
Article
of
the
Christian
Faith
,
touching
the
Great
Day
of
Judgment
that
is
to
be
in
the
end
of
the
World
,
called
in
Scripture
,
[
The
Last

and
[
The
Great

and
[
That
Day
]
by
way
of
Distinction
from
other
dayes
,
and
which
is
frequently
mentioned
in
Scripture
;
for
even
the
fallen
Angels
have
not
as
yet
received
their
final
Sentence
and
full
and
absolute
Punishment
,
but
are
reserved
in

of
Darkness
unto

Judgment
of
the
Great
Day

Many
will
say
to
me
in
That
Day
,
Lord
!

have
not

When
the
Lord
Jesus
shall
be
revealed
from
Heaven
with
his
mighty
Angels
in
flaming
Fire
,
taking
Vengeance
on
them
that
know
not
God
,
and
obey
not
the
Gospel
of
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ
,
who
shall
be
punished
with
Everlasting
Destruction
from
the
Presence
of
the
Lord
,
and
from
the
Glory
of
his
Power
,
when
he
shall
come
to
be
glorified
in
his
Saints
,
and
to
be
admired
in
all
them
that
believe
(
because
our
Testimony
among
you
was
believed
)
in
That
Day
:
Note
well
these
words
,
[
In
that
Day
]
Again
,
Acts
17.
31.
Because
he
hath
appointed
a
Day
in
the
which
he
will
judge
the
World
in
Righteousness
by
that
MAN
whom
he
hath
ordained
,
having
offered
Faith
(
as
the
Greek
and
Margent
of
the
English
Bibles
hath
it
)
unto
all
men
,
in
that
he
hath
raised
him
from
the
Dead
.
And
vers
.
32.
And
when
they
heard
of
the
Resurrection
of
the
Dead
,
some
mocked
,
and
others
said
,
We
will
hear
thee
again
of
this
matter
:
And
these
were
some
Philosophers
of
the
Epecureans
and
of
the
Stoicks
,
to
which
this
Doctrine
of
the
Resurrection
of
the
Body
seemed
strange
.
—
And
so
great
an
Article
and
Doctrine
of
the
Christian
Faith
was
this
of
the
Resurrection
,
that
Paul
calleth
it
,
The
Hope
of
the
Promise
made
of
God
unto
the
Fathers
,
as
plainly
appeareth
,
comparing
Acts
26.
v.
6.
with
vers
.
8.
Why
should
it
be
thought
a
thing
incredible
with
you
that
God
should
raise
the
Dead
?
And
vers
.
22
,
23.
Witnessing
both
to
small
and
great
,
saying
,
None
other
things
than
those
which
the
Prophets
and
Moses
did
say
,
should
come
,
that
Christ
should
suffer
and
be
the
first
that
should
rise
from
the
dead
,
&c.
Note
these
words
,
where
it
plainly
appeareth
,
That
none
of
the
Saints
deceased
,
before
Christs
Resurrection
,
were
raised
from
the
Dead
,
although
their
Souls
and
Spirits
did
go
unto
God
;
for
the
Resurrection
of
the
Dead
,
as
a
general
thing
,
is
joyned
with
the
great
Day
of
Judgment
,
when
the
Son
of
MAN
shall
come
in
the
Glory
of
his
Father
,
accompanied
with
his
holy
Angels
,
and
shall
sit
upon
the
Throne
of
his
Glory
,
and
before
him
shall
be
gathered
all
Nations
,
and
he
shall
seperate
them
one
from
another
as
a
Shepherd
divideth
his
Sheep
from
the
Goats
,
and
first
appointeth
the
Reward
of
the
Kingdom
,
(
viz.
in
the
full
possession
of
it
)
unto
the
Sheep
,
which
is
the
first
Resurrection
;
and
then
be
passeth
the
Sentence
of
Condemnation
to
the
Everlasting
Fire
,
or
Fire
of
Ages
,
unto
the
Goats
on
the
Left
Hand
,
that
is
the
Resurrection
of
the
Vnjust
.
But
if
all
Men
,
both
good
and
bad
,
receive
their
final
Sentence
immedately
after
Death
,
there
is
no
occasion
for
a
Day
of
Judgment
in
the
end
of
the
World
,
for
that
is
prevented
by
what
cometh
to
pass
both
to
good
and
bad
immediately
after
Death
,
according
to
this
absurd
Opinion
.
But
again
,
as
concerning
that
Great
Day
of
Judgment
to
come
,
wherein
both
the
Righteous
and
the
Wicked
shall
receive
according
to
the
Works
done
in
the
Body
,
Christ
doth
plainly
else-where
declare
,
as
Mat.
24.
36.
But
of
that
Day
and
Hour
knoweth
no
man
,
no
,
not
the
Angels
in
Heaven
,
but
my
Father
only
.
And
Mark
13
32.
But
of
that
Day
and
Hour
knoweth
no
man
,
no
,
not
the
Angels
in
Heaven
,
neither
the
Son
,
but
the
Father
;
which
is
to
be
understood
of
Christ
,
the
Son
,
as
Man
,
to
whom
then
it
was
not
known
;
the
which
Day
and
Hour
cannot
be
the
time
immediately
after
mens
Decease
;
for
though
after
Death
there
is
a
Judgment
that
followeth
every
one
,
according
to
Heb.
9.
27.
yet
that
is
not
the
great
and
last
Judgment
,
nor
Universal
,
but
Particular
:
And
of
this
Last
Day
,
Christ
said
,
John
6.
40.
And
this
is
the
Will
of
him
that
sent
me
,
that
every
one
which
seeth
the
Son
,
and
believeth
on
him
,
may
have
Everlasting
Life
,
and
I
will
raise
him
up
at
the
Last
Day
.
Note
,
He
doth
not
say
,
I
will
raise
him
up
in
the
Body
immediately
after
Death
,
but
in
the
Last
Day
,
to
wit
,
in
the
End
of
the
World.
And
with
a
respect
to
this
Martha
made
a
good
Confession
of
her
Faith
,
touching
the
Resurrection
of
the
Dead
,
saying
,
I
know
that
he
shall
rise
again
in
the
Resurrection
,
at
the
last
Day
;
the
which
Christ
doth
not
in
the
least
contradict
,
but
opened
a
further
Mystery
unto
her
,
to
wit
,
That
he
was
the
Resurrection
&
the
Life
,
he
that
believeth
in
me
,
tho'
he
were
dead
,
yet
shall
he
live
;
and
whosoever
liveth
and
believeth
in
me
,
shall
never
dye
;
and
because
he
was
the
Resurrection
,
viz.
the
Author
of
it
,
therefore
he
could
and
would
raise
Lazarus
her
Brother
from
the
dead
at
that
time
;
which
yet
was
not
the
Resurrection
in
the
last
Day
;
for
he
was
but
raised
at
that
time
a
mortal
man
,
to
dye
again
.
And
whereas
he
said
,
He
who
believeth
in
me
shall
never
dye
,
containeth
a
great
and
most
comfortable
Mystery
,
to
wit
,
That
neither
the
Souls
nor
the
Bodies
of
true
Believers
strictly
dye
;
their
Souls
sleep
not
,
but
are
awake
;
and
their
Bodies
,
though
they
sleep
,
dye
not
;
their
sleep
is
not
the
sleep
of
Death
,
strictly
taken
:
And
therefore
Christ
●…oved
against
the
Sadduces
the
Resurrection
of
the
dead
,
from
the
Words
of
God
to
Moses
,
I
am
the
God
of
Abraham
,
Isaac
and
Jacob
,
and
God
is
not
the
God
of
the
Dead
,
but
the
God
of
the
Living
;
and
therefore
nothing
of
Abraham
was
strictly
dead
or
perished
,
neither
his
Soul
,
nor
yet
his
true
Body
;
for
even
his
Body
did
but
sleep
,
as
when
the
Body
of
a
man
sleepeth
that
is
not
dead
;
for
the
Bodies
〈◊〉
of
such
dye
(
in
the
worst
sence
of
the
word
Death
)
who
dye
in
final
Unbelief
and
Impenitency
,
on
whom
Death
feeds
,
and
whose
Iniquities
are
upon
their
Bones
,
and
whose
Bodies
are
called
,
the
Carkasses
of
them
that
have
Transgressed
against
the
Lord
,
whose
Worm
dyeth
not
,
and
their
Fire
goeth
not
out
,
&c.
see
for
this
Psal
.
49.

Ezek.
32.
27
Isa
.

24.
But
as
concerning
the
dead
Bodes
of
the
Saints
and
true
believers
in
Christ
Jesus
,
it
is
prophecyed
,
Thy
Dead
,
my
Dead
Body
shall
arise
,
(
so
the
Hebrew
hath
it
)
for
the
Bodies
of
the
deceased
Saints
are
the
Body
and
Temple
of
Christ
,
and
Members
of
hi●…
and
therefore
cannot
perish
)
awake
and
sing
,
ye
that
dwell
in
the
Dust
,
for
thy
Dew
is
as
the
Dew
of
Herbs
,
and
the
Earth
shall
cast
out
the
Dead
(
to
wit
,
the
Earth
not
vulgarly
understood
)
Isa
.
26.
19.
And
that
Job
had
a
firm
ard
stedfast
Belief
of
the
Resurrection
of
his
Body
after
Death
,
is
clear
from
his
Words
,
viz.
And
though
after
my
Skin
,
Worms
destroy
this
Body
,
yet
in
my
Flesh
shall
I
see
God
,
&c.
Job
19.
26.
which
is
not
to
be
understood
of
the
gross
corruptible
Body
of
Flesh
,
but
of
the
Resurrection
Body
,
that
may
be
called
Flesh
in
a
more
excellent
sence
,
than
that
vulgarly
understood
;
as
Paul
said
,
All
Flesh
is
not
the
same
Flesh
.
So
the
Flesh
that
is
mortal
,
gross
and
corruptible
,
is
not
that
Flesh
that
shall
be
raised
up
immortal
and
incorruptible
;
for
the
word
[
Flesh
]
is
taken
sometimes
in
a
very
high
sence
,
where
it
is
said
,
Vnless
ye
eat
my
Flesh
,
&c.
and
All
Flesh
shall
see
the
Salvation
of
God
;
and
I
will
give
them
Hearts
of
Flesh
,
&c.
And
Lastly
,
That
there
is
yet
a
Resurrection
of
the
dead
to
come
,
of
all
such
generally
who
have
dyed
in
the
Faith
,
is
clear
from
Rev.
20
4
,
5
,
6.
And
they
lived
and
reigned
with
Christ
a
Thousand
Years
;
but
the
rest
of
the
Dead
lived
not
again
until
the
Thousand
Years
were
finished
,
this
is
the
first
Resurrection
,
blessed
and
holy
is
he
that
hath
part
in
the
first
Resurrection
.
Where
note
well
,
that
the
Resurrection
of
the
Saints
in
the
Thousand
Years
,
is
called
the
first
Resurrection
,
&c.
which
every
true
Believer
,
who
is
inwardly
risen
with
Christ
,
as
to
his
Soul
and
inward
Man
,
is
interested
in
,
and
hath
a
right
unto
,
but
is
not
possessed
of
until
the
Resurrection
of
the
Dead
;
And
therefore
if
any
will
call
the
inward
rising
of
the
Soul
from
the
Death
of
sin
,
the
first
Resurrection
,
yet
it
is
not
That
first
Resurrection
,
mentioned
Rev.
20.
4
,
5.
Moreover
,
concerning
the
Nature
and
Manner
of
the
Resurrection
of
the
Bodies
of
the
Saints
,
how
that
the
Body
is
not
raised
a
mortal
corruptible
Body
of
Flesh
and
Blood
,
but
immortal
and
incorruptible
,
Paul
doth
plainly
declare
;
and
it
is
altogether
safe
in
this
and
all
other
matters
of
Faith
,
to
hold
to
Scripture
words
,
1
Cor.
15.
from
V.
44
,
to
50.
And
here
Note
,
First
,
That
Paul
doth
not
call
him
a
Fool
that
did
believe
either
the
Truth
of
the
Resurrection
of
the
Body
,
or
the
true
Manner
of
it
,
but
called
him
a
Fool
,
that
not
believing
the
Truth
of
it
,
nor
the
true
Manner
of
it
,
and
by
arguing
against
it
,
did
enquire
,
How
are
the
dead
raised
up

and
for
the
Instruction
of
this
Fool
,
Paul
sendeth
him
to
learn
the
manner
of
it
from
the
sowing
and
rising
of
the
Grain
of
Corn
;
and
he
reproveth
such
at
Corinth
sharply
,
who
did
not
believe
the
Resurrection
of
the
Body
,
〈◊〉
not
having
the
knowledge
of
God
,

Cor.

Awake
,
said
he
,
to
Righteousness
;
I
speak
this
to
you
shame
:
So
that
according
to
Pauls
Doctrine
,
such
who
have
not
the
true
Faith
of
the
Resurrection
of
the
Body
,
greatly
fall
short
of
the
Knowledge
of
God.
Note
,
Secondly
,
That
the
Resurrection
of
the
Dead
and
Eternal
Judgment
,
belonging
to
the
first
Principles
of
the
Doctrine
of
Christ
,
according
to
Heb.

as
well
as
Repentance
and
Faith
,
are
necessary
to
be
known
and
believed
,
in
order
to
the
perfecting
,
if
not
the
beginning
,
the
Work
of
our
Sanctification
and
Salvation
.
Note
,
Thirdly
,
That
as
the
Bodies
of
the
Saints
,
that
shall
be
raised
up
at
the
Resureection
of
the
Dead
,
shall
not
be
raised
Mortal
and
Corruptible
,
but
Immortal
and
Incorruptible
,
so
they
shall
not
need
any
Meats
or
Drinks
,
or
other
things
that
this
Mortal
and
Corruptible
World
doth
afford
,
nor
the
Light
and
Influence
of
the
Sun
,
Moon
and
Stars
:
And
in
the
Resurrection
,
they
shall
neither
Marry
nor
give
in
Marriage
,
but
be
as
the
Angels
of
God
,
Mat.

and
the
place
of
their
Abode
or
Habitation
shall
be
that
New
Heavens
and
Earth
,
mentioned
by
Isaiah

which
is
not
,
as
some
weakly
imagine
,
this
visible
Heavens
and
Earth
that
waxeth
Old
,
but
those
which
are
far
more
excellent
,
and
shall
not
wax
old
,

But
yet
,
it
is
clear
from
Scripture
,
That
at
the
Coming
and
Appearance
of
Christ
without
us
,
in
his
glorified
Body
,
which
all
good
and
sound
Christians
joyfully
wait
for
,
even
that
He
shall
come
in
the
Clouds
of
Heaven
,
accompanied
with
his
Holy
and
Glorious
Angels
,
that
all
the
raised
Saints
shall
appear
with
him
in
their
glorified
Bodies
,
(
signified
by
the
coming
down
of
the
New
Jerusalem
from
Heaven
,
Rev.

,

)
being
made
like
unto
his
Glorious
Body
,
according
to
Jude
14.
And
Enoch
also
,
the
seventh
from
Adam
,
prophecied
of
these
,
saying
,
Behold
,
the
Lord
Cometh
with
Ten
Thousand
of
his
Saints
,
to
execute
Judgment
upon
all
,
&c.
And
whereas
some
say
,
the
Greek
beareth
it
in
ten
thousands
,
I
say
,
he
both
cometh
In
them
and
also
With
them
;
for
the
Greek
word
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
doth
frequently
signifie
(
in
the
New
Testament
)
With
or
Among
,
as
well
as
In
,
as
is
clear
from
Mat.
20.
26.
Luke

where
the
greek
particle
〈◊〉

〈◊〉
signifieth
among
,
and
cannot
be
good
sence

Translated

Note
,
4
thly
,
That
the
Belief
of
Christ's
being
in
Heaven
now
in
his
glorified
Nature
of
Man
,
both
of
Soul
&
Body
,
hath
such
a
necessary
connexion
with
the
Belief
of
his
Coming
and
Appearance
without
us
to
judge
the
Quick
and
the
Dead
,
that
these
two
stand
or
fall
together
,
and
every
one
that
believeth
the
first
,
cannot
but
believe
the
latter
;
for
it
were
strange
to
think
,
that
Christ
hath
,
and
forever
shall
have
the
glorified
Nature
of
Man
in
Heaven
,
and
that
the
Saints
should
not
see
him
at
the
Day
of
Judgment
.
But
as
for
such
as
do
not
believe
that
Christ
hath
any
being
in
the
glorified
Nature
of
Man
now
in
in
Heaven
without
them
,
they
cannot
believe
that
ever
he
will
appear
unto
them
or
any
other
;
and
it
is
nothing
but
giving
way
to
carnal
dark
Reasonings
,
and
Wisdom
of
the
Flesh
,
called
by
Paul
,
Vain
Philosophy
and
Worldly
Rudiments
,
that
hinder
men
to
believe
the
Truth
so
plainly
declared
in
the
holy
Scriptures
.
And
5
thly
,
From
the
like
dark
Imaginations
doth
proceed
,
that
they
believe
no
Heaven
nor
Hell
but
within
them
,
while
they
enquire
,
Where
is
that
Heaven
into
which
the
Man
Christ
is
gone
?
and
hath
any
of
us
seen
him
,
or
spoke
with
him
?
To
which
I
can
easily
Answer
;
That
Heaven
is
both
near
to
us
,
and
far
from
us
,
and
is
of
a
far
more
large
Extent
than
that
it
can
be
contained
within
us
,
tho'
we
have
a
heavenly
Seed
,
Plant
and
Birth
in
us
,
that
is
daily
nourished
with
heavenly
Food
,
and
is
watered
daily
with
the
heavenly
Dews
&
Rains
;
and
this
Heavens
,
tho'
not
visible
to
our
weak
mortal
Eye
,
of
Flesh
,
yet
are
visible
to
the
Eyes
and
Sight
of
our
Faith
,
and
is
that
New
Heavens
that
never
waxeth
Old
,
and
the
Paradise
of
God

which
are
the
Throne
of
God
&
the
House
of
God
,
that
hath
many
Mansions
,
concerning
which
,
Christ
said
,
John
14.

,

In
my
Fathers
House
are
many
Mansions
,
if
it
were
not
so
,
I
would
have
told
you
;
I
go
to
prepare
a
place
for
you
,
and
if
I
go
and
prepare
a
place
for
you
,
I
will
come
again
,
and
receive
you
unto
my self
,
that
where
I
am
,
there
ye
may
be
also
:
And
tho'
we
have
not
seen
the
Man
Christ
with
our
carnal
&
bodily
Eyes
,
yet
with
these
concerning
whom
Peter
writeth
,

Whom
having
not
seen
,
ye
love
,
in
whom
,
though
now
ye
see
him
not
,
yet
believing
ye
rejoyce
with
Joy
unspeakable
and
full
of
Glory
:
And
that
the
Saints
shall
see
the
Man
Christ
,
and
be
with
him
forever
where
he
is
,
to
behold
his
glory
,
shall
be
a
great
part
of
their
eternal
Felicity

and
because
of
which
they
shall
the
more
abundantly
see
and
enjoy
him
inwardly
,
&
God
in
him
&
through
him
:
and
Jesus
said
unto
Thomas
,
after
his
Resurrection
,
John
20.

Thomas
,
because
thou
hast
seen
me
,
thou
believest
,
blessed
are
they
that
have
not
seen
,
&
yet
have
believed
.
And
how
can
all
Nations
stand
before
the
Son
of
Man
,

if
he
shall
not
appear
without
us
at
