the_o visible_a in_o his_o body_n and_o the_o invisible_a in_o his_o soul_n now_o the_o former_a description_n of_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n do_v commend_v the_o soul_n for_o seven_o thing_n first_o

of_o it_o and_o this_o i_o must_v answer_v first_o by_o remove_v from_o the_o consideration_n of_o it_o what_o it_o be_v not_o first_o the_o soul_n be_v not_o the_o harmony_n or_o right_a temper_n of_o the_o harmony_n of_o the_o body_n as_o galen_n that_o great_a physician_n be_v say_v to_o affirm_v which_o appear_v evident_o by_o these_o reason_n 1._o that_o then_o every_o body_n in_o which_o

the_o excess_n which_o arise_v from_o the_o humour_n of_o the_o body_n as_o a_o man_n that_o by_o temper_n be_v apt_a to_o be_v angry_a or_o heat_v yet_o have_v something_o within_o he_o which_o

the_o lay_n of_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o earth_n now_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o those_o two_o thing_n he_o do_v of_o himself_o of_o nothing_o without_o any_o mean_n last_o that_o place_n in_o

create_v either_o pure_a or_o sinful_a if_o pure_a then_o how_o be_v it_o that_o the_o soul_n be_v guilty_a of_o original_a sin_n if_o impure_a then_o how_o can_v it_o be_v avoid_v but_o that_o god_n must_v be_v the_o author_n of_o sin_n answer_n this_o reason_n drive_v diverse_a of_o the_o father_n in_o the_o time_n of_o hierome_n especial_o the_o western_a father_n to_o believe_v that_o the_o

divine_n answer_v this_o objection_n in_o this_o manner_n first_o that_o the_o soul_n be_v create_v of_o god_n pure_a but_o join_v to_o a_o body_n conceive_v in_o sin_n which_o be_v no_o injustice_n in_o god_n because_o he_o deliver_v the_o soul_n but_o into_o such_o a_o estate_n as_o man_n have_v cast_v himself_o into_o by_o his_o own_o wilful_a sin_n bring_v this_o corruption_n not_o only_o

in_o that_o general_a respect_n nor_o may_v it_o be_v doubt_v but_o that_o the_o body_n may_v work_v upon_o the_o soul_n as_o we_o see_v by_o experience_n when_o the_o body_n be_v full_a of_o choleric_a humour_n it_o incline_v the_o soul_n to_o anger_n and_o so_o when_o the_o body_n be_v burden_v with_o melancholy_a humour_n it_o evident_o make_v sadness_n even_o in_o the_o very_a mind_n etc._n etc._n another_o answer_n may_v be_v this_o god_n create_v the_o soul_n pure_a but_o yet_o that_o soul_n be_v guilty_a of_o owe_v though_o not_o of_o do_v debendi_fw-la though_o not_o

more_o unable_a and_o unperfect_a than_o any_o live_a creature_n for_o if_o he_o do_v begette_v but_o only_o the_o body_n he_o do_v not_o beget_v one_o in_o specie_fw-la like_a to_o himself_o answer_n though_o god_n create_v the_o soul_n yet_o it_o follow_v not_o but_o that_o it_o may_v be_v true_o say_v that_o man_n beget_v a_o man_n and_o that_o he_o be_v not_o more_o unperfect_a in_o

but_o god_n make_v it_o work_v for_o our_o good_a shall_v we_o then_o dare_v to_o take_v offence_n at_o the_o cross_n of_o christ_n have_v we_o not_o reason_n to_o glory_n in_o it_o above_o all_o

and_o that_o must_v be_v fetch_v out_o of_o he_o with_o the_o best_a stripe_n which_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o wicked_a inflict_v upon_o he_o oh_o the_o hardness_n of_o our_o heart_n that_o can_v see_v christ_n thus_o use_v for_o our_o sin_n and_o yet_o be_v not_o persuade_v that_o sin_n be_v hateful_a to_o god_n oh_o how_o shall_v we_o be_v sorry_a for_o our_o saviour_n and_o mourn_v to_o think_v of_o it_o as_o we_o will_v for_o our_o only_a son_n will_v it_o not_o grieve_v we_o at_o the_o heart_n if_o we_o shall_v see_v the_o young_a prince_n the_o king_n son_n base_o whip_v by_o our_o

malicious_a man_n now_o do_v not_o always_o so_o be_v not_o because_o their_o malice_n do_v not_o tend_v to_o it_o but_o because_o either_o god_n or_o man_n restrain_v they_o it_o be_v a_o most_o

what_o care_v the_o lord_n jesus_n require_v of_o we_o what_o shall_v not_o this_o make_v we_o willing_a to_o do_v oh_o how_o shall_v we_o love_v he_o with_o all_o our_o heart_n above_o all_o the_o

to_o we_o to_o be_v impatient_a or_o to_o think_v much_o of_o our_o cross_n who_o though_o we_o have_v suffer_v many_o thing_n yet_o not_o so_o grievous_a as_o those_o thing_n befall_v our_o saviour_n yea_o further_o it_o shall_v encourage_v we_o to_o suffer_v any_o thing_n for_o christ_n and_o the_o rather_o because_o we_o have_v not_o resist_v to_o stripe_n or_o blood_n nor_o can_v now_o suffer_v the_o thousand_o part_n for_o he_o of_o that_o he_o have_v suffer_v for_o us._n thus_o of_o the_o heal_n of_o our_o soul_n these_o word_n also_o may_v be_v expound_v of_o the_o heal_n of_o our_o

upon_o man_n the_o sentence_n of_o deformity_n and_o infirmity_n and_o disease_n and_o we_o see_v god_n do_v inflict_v disease_n upon_o many_o and_o that_o of_o diverse_a sort_n and_o many_o man_n that_o for_o the_o present_n be_v free_a from_o the_o pain_n of_o disease_n yet_o have_v their_o enemy_n in_o their_o body_n in_o diverse_a part_n of_o they_o lay_v as_o it_o be_v in_o garrison_n

to_o such_o a_o condition_n by_o nature_n doct._n 2._o the_o disease_n of_o the_o body_n be_v grievous_a &_o therefore_o christ_n take_v notice_n of_o that_o kind_n of_o distress_n to_o provide_v for_o the_o heal_n of_o our_o body_n we_o see_v by_o experience_n that_o of_o many_o sort_n of_o cross_n it_o be_v most_o grievous_a to_o bear_v the_o pain_n that_o arise_v from_o the_o wound_n or_o

as_o be_v say_v before_o and_o partly_o because_o god_n have_v arm_v such_o a_o multitude_n of_o sort_n of_o disease_n to_o which_o the_o body_n of_o man_n be_v liable_a use_v therefore_o the_o use_n shall_v be_v to_o take_v warning_n from_o these_o pain_n of_o the_o body_n to_o prevent_v eternal_a pain_n in_o hell_n by_o reconcile_n ourselves_o to_o that_o god_n that_o can_v so_o fearful_o
