We see also that Enoch & Ely were taken up, and never felt any natural ⟨p. 83⟩death, but were gathered together into an incorruptible life: Howbeit all this hangeth upon the resurrection of our Lord Jesus. And therefore we must take him to be as the first fruits. In the law, the fruits of the year were consecrated to GOD, by the only bringing of an ear of Corn, and a bunch of Grapes, to lay upon the Altar. Now when this was offered to God, it was a general consecrating of all the fruits of the year. When the first born also were consecrated to God, it was a declaration of the holiness of the tribe of Israel, & that God accounted it for his inheritance, which he had reserved to himself, and contented himself with this people, as if a man would be contented with his Patrimony, Even so, let us understand, that when we come to our Lord Jesus Christ, we are all consecrated and offered in his person, to the end we might at this day, receive life through death, & that it should no more be deadly as before it was. And thus we see what we are to observe as concerning the new Tomb: that is, that the burial of our Lord Jesus Christ must bring us unto his resurrection.
Wée sée also that Enock & Elie were taken vp, and neuer felt any naturall ⟨p. 83⟩death, but were gathered together into an incorruptible life: Howbéeit al this hangeth vpon the resurrection of our Lord Iesus. And therfore we must take him to be as the first fruites. In the law, the fruites of the yéere were consecrated to GOD, by the only bringing of an eare of Corne, and a bunche of Grapes, to lay vpon the Au•ter. Now when this was offered to God, it was a generall consecrating of al ye fruits of the yéere. When ye first born also were cōsecrated to God, it was a declaratiō of ye holines of the tribe of Israel, & that God accompted it for his inheritaunce, which he had reserued to himselfe, and contented himselfe with this people, as if a man would be contented with his Patrimonie, Euē so, let vs vnderstand, yt when we come to our Lord Iesus Christ, we are al cō secrated and offered in his person, to the end we might at this day, receiue life through death, & that it should no more be deadly as before it was. And thus we sée what we are to obserue as concerning the new Tombe: that is, that the buriall of our Lord Iesus Christ must bring vs vnto his resurrection.
