The
same
Day
went
out
of
the
House
,
and
sate
by
the
Sea
side
;
And
great
Multitudes
were
gathered
together
unto
him
,
so
that
he
went
into
a
Ship
,
and
sate
,
and
the
whole
Multitude
stood
on
the
Shore
.
And
he
spoke
many
things
unto
them
in
Parables
,
saying
,
Behold
,
and
when
he
sowed
and
the
Fowls
came
,
and
devour'd
them
up
and
forthwith
they
sprung
up
,
because
they
had
no
Deepness
on
Earth
,
and
when
the
Sun
was
up
,
they
were
scorched
,
and
because
they
had
not
Root
,
they
wither'd
away
;
and
and
the
Thorns
sprung
up
and
choack'd
them
;

of

for

,
that
appeares

Stony

For
the
Kingdom
of

is
as
a
Man
travelling
into
a
far
Country
,
who
called
his
own
Servants
,
and
delivered
unto
them
his
Goods
;
and
unto
one
he
gave
Five
Talents
,
to
another
Two
,
and
to
another
One
,
and
straight-way
took
his
Journey
.
Then
he
that
had
received
Five
Talents
,
went
and
traded
with
the
same
,
and
likewise
he
,
that
had
received
Two
,
But
he
that
had
received
One
,
After
a
long
time
,
the
Lord
of
those
Servants
cometh
and
Reckoneth
with
them
:
he
that
had
received
came

brought

Five

,
Lord
,
Thou
deliveredst
unto
me
Five
Talents
,
Behold
,
I
have
gained
besides
them
Five

more

His
Lord
said
unto
him
He
also
that
received
came
and
Lord
,
Thou
deliveredst
unto
me
Two
Talents
,
Behold
,
I
have
gain'd
Two
other
Talents
besides
them
,
His
Lord
said
unto
him
Then
he
which
had
received
came
and
Lord
,
I
knew
thee
and
I
was
afraid
,
and
went
and
hid
thy
Talent
in
the
Earth
:
Lo
,
there
thou
hast
that
which
is
thine
.
His
Lord
answer'd
,
and
said
unto
him
,
Take
therefore
the
Talent
from
him
,
and
give
it
unto
him
which
has
Ten
Talents
;
For
unto
every
one
that
hath
shall
be
given
,
and
he
shall
have
Abundance
,
but
from
him
that
has
not
shall
be
taken
away
even
that
which
he
hath
:
there
shall
be
Weeping

,
when
the
Son
of
Man
shall
come
in
his
Glory
,

with
Him
,
then
shall
He
sit
upon

Glory
,

before
Him
shall
be
gather'd
all
Nations
,

He
shall

hateth

neither
comes

Whatsoever
is
reproved
is

should
let
Millions

Generations
live
in

without

them
,
or
a

to
limit
them
that
they
had
Light
and

in
their
Hearts

,
since
their
Refusing
to
bring
their
Deeds
to
the
Light
,
was
not
an
Act
of
Ignorance
,
but
Design
;
because
they

would
be
Condemn'd
,
and
they
for

they
both
had
a

and
knew

it

yet
this
will
no
wayes
hinder
the
Capacity
of
the
Light
to
do
it
.
That
some
things
which
the
did
,
were
reprov'd
,
therefore
they
had
the
Light
:
because
they
never
would
begin
,
at

proceed
.
and
not
been
blinded
by
the
Vain
Idolatries
and
Superstitious
Traditions
of
their
Fathers
,
they
had
more
fully
known
and
learn'd
the
Mind
and
Will
of
their
Creator
Apostle
Paul
Romans
:
For
I
am
not
Asham'd
of
the
Gospel
of

:
For
it
is
the

Power
of
God
unto

,
to
every
one
that

,
to
the
first
,
and
also
to

the
Righteousness
of
God
reveal'd
from
Heaven
against
all
Ungodliness
and
Unrighteousness
of
Men
,
who
hold
the
Truth
in
Unrighteousness

For
the
Invisible
Things
of
Him
from
the
Creation
of
the
World
are
clearly
seen
,
being
understood
by
the
Things
that
are
made
,
even
his
Eternal
Power
and
God-head
,
so
that
they
are
without
Excuse
;
because
that
when
they
knew
God
,
neither
were
Thankful
;
but
became
Vain
in
their
Imaginations
,
and
their
Foolish
Hearts
were
Darken'd

And

as
God
gave
them
over

those
things

either

the

It
is

,
after
those

I
will

If
not

then
it
must

;
but
the
Light
in

cannot
be

Salvation
,
When
they
heard
these

they
held
their

God

saying
,
then
hath
God
also
to
the

;
then
they
had
it
not
before

't
is
not
a
Light
of
Grace
,
but
a
Light
of
Nature
If
the
Light
within
be
sufficient
to
save
Men
,
then
it
renders
Christs
Coming
and
Suffering
needless
That
,
Life
which
is
the
Light
of
men
is
and
therefore
preferred
before
(
&
is
above
)
all
Sufferings
which
are
temporary
&
finite

The
Light
within
cannot
be
a
sufficient
Rule
,
because
then
there
would
be
no
certainty
of
Truth
or
Error
,
of
Sin
or
Duty
;
for
that
which
one
Man
maketh
Light
to
Day
,
the
same
Man
will
call
Darkness
to
morrow
;
one
Man
calleth
one
thing
a
Sin
,
another
calleth
it
a
Duty
,
by
this
there
will
be
no
such
thing
as
Sin
,
but
only
in
the
Opinions
of

If
the
Light
within
be
a
sufficient
Rule
,
then
I
have
a

Rule
within

,
because
you
say
every

hath
it
,
and
I
am

to

it
:
In
Obedience
to
this
Rule
,
I
oppose
your

,
and
in
opposing
your
Errors
one
of
our

cannot

because

No
Man

he
that

but
all
men
have
not

therefore
all
men
have
not

I
conceive
enough
hath
been

evince
,
that
the

neither

all

not

what
is
it
that
obeyeth
this

,
and
in
Obedience

Or
if
this
Light
be
the
Rule
,
it
doth
suppose
a
subject
capable
of
understanding
it
,
and
of
yielding
Obedience
to
it

p.
What
then
is
the
Principle
?
Either
the
Light
must
obey
it self
,
or
Darkness
must
obey
it

the
Light
must
obey
it self

and
in

doing
be
saved
That
the
Soul
is
part
of
God
and
of
his
being
,
and
that
it
is
without
beginning
,
Which
is
as
much
as
to
say
the
Soul
is
God
—
then
God
sets
up
a
Light
in
himself
,
which
he
himself
is
to
obey

received

that
I
should
ever

had

only
to
this

utterly
false
And
also
that
as
an

several
times

me

this
is
true
;
but
that
I
should

to
him
or
any
other
person
,
that
it
was
revealed
to
me
that
he
was
come

his

this
is
also
a
false

Lye

I

I
shall

will
not
abuse
me
with
such
a

not

he
ever

me

it
is
a

through

would
suggest
such
things

A

visiting
some
of

passed

was

said

where
layd
his
false
Accusation
hard
upon
him
either
to
prove
it

confess

he
sought
many
Wayes

at

and
an

Priest
that
came
with
him

produced
a
Book

was
conceived
)
in

as
they
said

Errors

to
this
Purpose
,
that
we
shall
take
no
notice
of
what
is
printed

our

,
but
we
shall
claim
that
Priviledge
to
state
our
Principles
our selves
and
to
present
them
as
we
understand
them
:
And
in
some
Discourse
about
the
Light
,
laid
it
down
as
our
Principle
,
that
the
true
Light
that
lighteth
every
man
that
cometh
into

is
sufficient
for
Salvation

not
willing

beat
out

some

that
our
Friends
did
deny
their
Principles
.
IT
s
known
here
that
the
matter
to
be
disputed
,
was
s
own
Assertion
under
his
Hand
,
which
he
promised
to
p●…ve
,
viz.
that
the
converted
from
to
make
an
Introduction
into
the
Dispute
)
(
after
the
People
understood
the
matter
to
be
disputed
)
opened
to
the
People
what
must
be
understood
by
Christianity
according
to
the
Saints
Testimony
,
and
what
by
Heathenism
according
to
holy
Scripture
,
as
to
both
their
Wayes
and
Worships
,
by
that
found
himself
at
a
loss
,
and
surely
felt
his
own
Words
his
Burthen
,
and
strugled
much
to
avoid
the
proving
his
Charge
,
though
given
under
his
own
Hand
;
but
Truth
bruised
his
Head
and
held
him
fast
,
God's
Power
and
Wisdom
was
manifested
above
the
Serpent
;
then
he
pulled
out
a
Priest's
Book
,
and
read
that
which
he
called
the
Tenet
,
which
either
the
Priest
had
wronged
in
his
Book
,
or
in
reading
,
or
the
Printer
in
printing
,
viz.
that
the
Light
in
every
man
is
sufficient
without
any
other
Councellor
to
guide
unto
Salvation
,
leaving
out
the
two
Words
it
should
have
been
or
that
true
Light
which
lighteth
every
man
that
cometh
into
the
World
is
sufficient
)
So
our
Friends
answered
they
came
not
there
to
be
catechised
by
him
,
but
to
hear
him
to
prove
if
he
could
,
that
the
converted
from
and
said
that
Book
in
his
hand
was
a
lying
Book
;
so
the
Weight
of
Judgment
in
the
Truth
came
upon
him
.
These
are
the
Heads
of
the
matter
,
and
manner
of
the
Dispute
so
far
as
Friends
here
at
present
remember
.
Take
this
at
present

lest
Information

in

What
intollerable
Pride
and
Arogancy
have
you
arrived
to
?
And
all
this
in
following
(
as
you
pretend
)
the
Conduct
of
the
Light
within
,
improving
it
to
the
subverting
and
anihilating
the
Covenant
of
Grace
,
which
is
the
only
Way
God
hath
revealed
(
since
the
Fall
)
for
the
Salvation
of
Sinners
:
Surely
then
this
Light
,
which
instead
of
directing
what
you
do
in
a
Way
of
Subserviency
to
the
Ends
of
this
Covenant
,
doth
directly
oppose
it
,
is
in
that
so
far
from
being
a
sufficient
Rule
,
that
it
ought
to
be
rejected
.
to
be
Rejected
How
comes
it
to
pass
that
Jesus
Christ
as
to
the
great
end
of
coming
into
the
World
,
is
so
much
neglected
,
and
the
Stress
of
many
men's
Hopes
laid
upon
something
in
themselves
?
Hence
the
Hope
of
the
Hypocrite
is
compared
to
the
Spiders
Web
,
being
spun
out
of
their
own
Bowels
?
Do
you
not
see
this
in
your selves
who
are
the
greatest
Admirers
of
the
Light
within
,
p.
WHat
contemptible
Thoughts
you
have
of
the
Person
,
Offices
and
Sufferings
of
Jesus
Christ
,
that
you
account
his
Blood
no
more
than
you
do
the
Blood
of
a
common
Thief
,
p.
And
esteem
Justification
by
that
Righteousness
which
Christ
wholy
fulfilled
in
his
own
Person
without
us
,
to
be
a
Doctrine
of
Devils
,
p.
This
Light
within
directs
not
our
Actions
to
those
Holy
and
Spiritual
Ends
which
the
Scripture
does
:
Alas
,
whereto
do
the
best
of
mens
Actions
naturally
tend
,
p.
opp●…sest
not

to
the

Spirit
,
but
to
the
Light
within

and
finding
my
Name
mentioned
in

have
very
seriously
taken
notice
of
thy
manner
of
Rehersal
of
my
Words
,
and
thy
own
spoken
at
that
Conference
which
we
once
had
at
and
that
I
know
of
,
I
never
saw
a
Narrative
of
a
thing
past
,
given
forth
with
more
Falshood
and
Hypocrisie
then
that
is
,
and
with
a
known
and
witting
Purpose
to
deceive
the
Reader
,
and
to
abuse
me
;
and
I
am
perswaded
thou
hast
in

a
Knowledge
of
it
;
and
surely
except
thou
repent
,
and
obtain
Forgiveness
,
it
will
one
Day
be
heavy
to
thee
.
The
Business
or
matter
upon
which
we
treated
was
,
about
our
holding
and
believing
Christ
to
be
the
Light
of
the
World
,
or
that
the
Light
which
lighteth
the
World
,
and
every
one
that
cometh
into
the
World
,
was
and
is
the
true
Christ
,
which
was
then
proved
by
plain
Scripture
;
and
whereas
I
do
not
intend
a
Narrative
of
the
Discourse
,
but
only
to
dis-abuse
the
Reader
,
and
to
make
known
the
Occasion
of
these
Words
of
mine
thou
hast
mentioned
;
therefore
I
shall
pass
over
most
of
our
Discourse
,
and
come
to
the
matter
relating
to
Christ
.
And
that
thou
didst
say
(
as
thou
mentions
in
thy
Book
)
that
no
Spirit
nor
Principle
was
capable
of
Suffering
and
being
Crucified
,
is
true
,
thou
didst
say
so
,
but
how
faise
the
matter
it self
is
let
the
Scriptures
be
judge
.
Do
they
not
speak
in
many
places
of
the
Sufferings
,
Pressures
,
Vexings
,
Burdenings
,
Grievings
and
Quenchings
of
the
Spirit
?
and
do
they
not
speak
of
crucifying
afresh
,
killing
and
slaying
the
Lamb
of
God
,
the
Lord
of
Glory
,
the
〈◊〉
One
,
from
the
Foundation
of
the
World
in
the
Streets
of
&
c
?
which
Sayings
cannot
have
Relation
to
that
Body
that
hanged
upon
the
Cross
,
which
was
not
from
the
Foundation
of
the
World
,
nor
was
●…ot
in
nor
never
hanged
upon
a
Cross
in
but
he
whom
the
Saints
called
was
capable
of
suffering
these
things
,
besides
those
great
Sufferings
which
he
suffered
in
that
Body
,
in
which
he
conversed
with
men
in
the
Form
of
a
Servant
in
the
●…arts
of
whom
the
took
and
hanged
upon
a
Cross
without
the
Gates
of
who
I
believe
dyed
for
Sinners
,
and
is
raised
up
again
by
the
Power
of
God
,
&
exalted
therein
above
the
Power
which
caused
him
to
suffer
,
and
sitteth
now
at
the
right
Hand
of
God
,
and
maketh
〈◊〉
for
the
Saints
,
and
is
the
Ruler
over
the
true
of
God
,
who
destroyes
his
Enemies
with
the
Spirit
of
his
Mouth
and
the
Brightness
of
his
coming
:
New
this
Christ
of
God
thus
truely
considered
,
I
neither
said
nor
thought
I
knew
the
Date
or
Beginning
of
,
as
thou
dost
wickedly
suggest
;
for
I
know
he
is
without
beginning
of
Dayes
or
end
of
Life
,
and
such
an
high
Priest
becometh
us
to
have
,
and
blessed
are
they
that
believe
in
him
and
are
faithful
to
him
:
and
now
having
answered
what
thou
malitiously
wouldst
have
the
Reader
believe
,
which
I
am
perswaded
thou
thy self
dost
not
believe
,
viz.
That
it
is
my
Judgment
and
Belief
that
Christ
hath
a
Beginning
and
Date
.
I
shall
now
declare
the
Occasion
of
such
Words
,
when
I
was
about
to
prove
to
thee
,
that
this
Principle
of
Light
was
that
〈◊〉
of
Ages
in
which
the
Fathers
and
Prophets
believed
,
and
that
it
was
that
Word
which
came
unto
the
Prophets
,
and
which
was
known
to
to
his
rejoycing
,
&c.
thou
madest
me
this
Answer
,
That
the
Names
were
not
proper
unto
any
Spirit
,
Word
or
〈◊〉
whatsoever
,
either
in
Heaven
or
in
Earth
,
but
unto
that
Body
or
Person
which
was
born
of
the
Virgin
;
to
which
I
replyed
,
I
remember
hath
written
so
in
his
Book
,
but
I
had
thought
you
had
not
owned
him
in
it
,
but
now
I
see
you
do
,
and
thou
saidst
,
yes
thou
didst
;
for
though
thou
grantedst
,
that
the
Word
and
Spirit
was
from
the
beginning
,
yet
that
was
not
,
nor
could
not
properly
be
called
but
that
Person
that
was
born
of
the
Virgin
,
that
only
was
where
uppon
I
〈◊〉
I
know
the
date
and
beginning
of
thy
Christ
;
upon
which
thou
criedst
out
to
which
I
replyed
and
asked
thee
,
if
thou
thoughtst
I
did
not
know
how
long
it
was
〈◊〉
he
was
born
as
well
as
thou
or
another
man
,
&c.
and
after
that
did
prove
to
thee
by
plain
Scripture
,
that
the
very
Assertion
was
false
,
to
say
there
was
no
Jesus
nor
Christ
before
,
and
did
mention
the
Rock
of
which
the
Fathers
did
drink
,
and
which
followed
the
Jews
in
the
Wilderness
,
which
Rock
saith
the
Apostle
,
and
the
same
Apostle
saith
,
that
God
made
all
things
by
if
this
be
so
,
then
he
was
before
was
,
or
before
he
became
Flesh
,
or
took
that
Body
made
of
a
Woman
;
for
the
Prophet
testified
,
that
he
that
should
be
born
in
his
Out-goings
was
from
of
old
.
I
say
the
more
concerning
this
,
because
thou
endeavour'st
to
cast
the
Leven
(
of
which
thou
didst
appear
that
night
too
full
)
upon
me
,
as
if
I
looked
upon
Jesus
Christ
as
a
meer
Creature
,
whose
beginning
and
date
I
knew
,
when
as
those
Words
were
only
spoken
with
Detestation
of
,
and
in
Testimony
against
thy
corrupt
that
Night
uttered
,
who
also
made
a
great
Stir
with
me
for
saying
,
Thy
Foundation
is
manifest
thou
canst
not
hide
it
this
Way
;
and
as
concerning
thy
foolish
pratling
in
page
that
if
I
knew
his
beginning
then
he
was
not
God
;
and
if
I
knew
his
date
,
or
when
he
ceased
to
be
,
then
he
is
not
man
;
this
is
not
all
worth
the
answering
,
the
pretended
Foundation
thereof
being
taken
away
,
and
thou
left
naked
in
thy
Folly
and
Perverseness
,
having
shewn
thy self
but
as
one
who
makes
a
Likeness
of
a
man
,
and
sets
it
up
,
and
then
beats
it
down
again
,
and
goes
away
and
boasts
of
Conquest
.
But
for
a
Conclusion
,
I
shall
ask
thee
and
thy
a
Question
:
Suppose
that
a
man
should
affirm
to
me
that
all
things
come
by
Nature
,
and
that
there
is
no
universal
Spirit
of
Life
to
quicken
them
;
and
I
should
answer
thereuppon
and
say
,
there
is
no
God
.
I
query
,
were
this
sufficient
Reason
to
charge
me
,
that
I
were
an
&
that
I
held
there
was
no
God
,
or
ought
it
not
to
be
taken
as
detecting
the
of
the
first
Assertor
;
this
is
my
case
with
thee
,
which
I
refer
to
that
of
God
in
all
Consciences
,
and
let
that
judge
in
and
amongst
men
;
and
thee
I
leave
to
receive
the
reward
of
thy
work
at
the
hand
of
God
,
who
is
just
&
will
not
let
the
guilty
go
unpunished
.

It
seems
to
me

if
this

Common
Reason

because
I
deny
that
the
Light
which
is
in

is
a

;
and
yet
say
,
I
really
believe
all
have
a

from

This
cannot
be
a
Contradiction

he
can
prove
there
is
no
Light
proceeding

what
is

What
though
it
be
granted

that
the
Light
which
all
Men
that
come
into

are
lighted
,
which
flows
from
the
Eternal
Word
,
and
so
is
spiritual
;
must
it
needs
therefore
be
a

Light
?
Was
not
the

given
forth
on

The
fourth
Witness
to

is
Her

being
dead
,
that
She
believed
,
that
he
should
rise
again
at
the
Last
Day
in
the

:
If
the
Resurrection
of

or
that
of
laid
in
the

,
was
believed
and
assented

by
I
know
that
he
shall
rise
again
in
the

at
the
Last
Day
I

he
that

were

,
yet

and
whosoever
liveth

The

implyeth
to
rise
again
Rise
again
as
in
all

,
so
in
Christ
shall
all
be
made
alive
?
If
God
give
another
Body
,
and
raise
not
again
that
Body
that
before
was
in

,
then
it
is
a

,

that

a

(
which

a

)
It
is
such
a
Body
that
I
never
read
o●…
in
the
Scriptures
;
I
would
know
what
in
Scripture
is
called
the
Body
,
but
the
Flesh
?
Now
take
but
away
the
Flesh
,
and
where
is
the

Aye
but
,
saith
It
is
a

Body
;
as
if
a
Body
of
Flesh
and
a
Spiritual
could
not
stand
together
:
This
is
his
Great
mistake
.
The
Apostle
could
have
born
his
Testimony
to
this
Truth
,
that
it
is
the
Body
of
Flesh
that
shall
be
raised

It

't

the

still
keeps
to
the

(

)
Christ's
Body
is
a
Carnal
Spiritual
Body
,
Carnal
and

W.
B.
That
the
Apostle
still
keeps
to
the
Word
(
IT
)
It
is
sown
a

Body
,
It
is
raised
a

or
God
giveth
it
a
Body
as
it
pleaseth
him
,
and
to
every
Seed
his

Body
.
He
takes

If
the
Bodies
that
have
done
Good
or
Evil
,
must
receive
their
Reward
accordingly
;
then
the

Bodies
that
dye
must
rise
again
:
But
the
Antecedent
is
true
;
therefore
the
Consequent

or
Being
Antecedent
,
That
the

that
have
done

,
must
receive

(
which
Proposition
is
the
Antecedent
)
is
evident
by
and
then
the
Consequence
is
firm
,
The

must
receive

We
are
co●…fident
I

rather
to
be
Absent

to

it

Ordinary

inconsequent
For
the
surther
Proof
of
Antecedent
and
Consequent
,
I
shall
first
explain
the
Terms
of
Christ's
Argument
,
The
Place
is
As
touching
their
Resurrection
from
the
Dead
,
have
ye
not
read
that
which
was
spoken
unto
you
by
God
,
saying
,
I
am
the
God
of
and
the
God
of
and
the
God
of
God
is
not
the
God
of
the
Dead
,
but
of
the
Living
:
And
it
is
added
for
all
live
unto
him
To
be
a
God
Abraham
,
Isaac
God
,
and
he
in
Not
the
God
of
the
Dead
:
that
might
be
meant
either
of
them
who
are
Dead
simply
,
or
of
them
that
are
so
dead
as
that
they
shall
never
return
to
Life
;
not
in
the
former
Sense
,
therefore
in
the
Latter
.
God
is
not
the
God
of
the
Dead
,
that
are
so
Dead
as
that
they
shall
never
return
to
Life
;
but
of
the
Dead
that
shall
return
to
Life
?
the
Living
But
of
the
Living
,
that
is
of
them
whom
God
intends
to
restore
to
Life
,
or
whose
Bodies
live
potentially
;
not
only
of
them
whose
Souls
live
actually
;
for
all
Live
to
him
,
Abraham
,
Isaac
live
unto
God
Abraham
,
Isaac
there
is
no
Resurrection
,
Angel
,
nor
Spirit
She
should
be
in
the
Resurrection
?
The
Children
of
this
World
marry
,
and
are
given
in
Marriage
;
But
they
which
shall
be
counted
that
World
,
and
the
neither
Marry
,
nor
are
given
in
Marriage
:
Earthly
ones
if
by
any
means
I
might
attain
unto
the
Resurrection
of
the
Dead
,
I
am
the
Resurrection
,
and
the
Life
;
he
that
believeth
in
me
,
though
he
were
dead
,
yet
shall
he
Live
;
and
who
soever
liveth
and
believeth
in
me
,
shall
never
dye
.
There
are
different
Apprehensions
;
Some
conceive
,
that
Christ
hereby
proves
the
Immortality
of
the
Soul
(
which
the
denyed
,
as
appears
for
if
there
be
no
Soul
of
a
Spiritual
Nature
in
Man
,
it
must
needs
be
Mortal
,
as
his
Body
)
and
by
Consequence
,
the
Resurrection
of
the
Body
.
The
denying
the
Resurrection
of
the
Body
,
because
they
denied
the
Immortality
of
the
Soul
(
as
these
Interpreters
conceive
)
Others
,
that
Christ
intends
only
to
prove
the
Resurrection
of
the
Body
:
So
Others
,
that
Christ
intends
both
directly
:
So
T.
D.
That
Christ
hereby
proves
the
Immortality
of
the
Soul
,
and
by
Consequence

the
Resurrection
of
the
Body
.
Others
,
that
Christ
intends
only
to
prove
the
Resurrection
of
the
Body
.
Others

that
he
intends
both

either

from

Therefore
they
(

all

shall
rise
again
.
Or
else
thus
:
They
whose
God
,
God
is
,
after
Death
shall
Rise

,
Or
the
Argument
,
may
be
framed
more
plainly
thus
,
If
God
be
under
a
Promise
to
Glorifie
the
Persons
of

their

must
rise
