the_o second_o prophet_n who_o dispensation_n be_v to_o continue_v till_o the_o come_n of_o jesus_n christ_n who_o they_o call_v the_o breath_n of_o god_n acknowledge_v that_o he_o be_v conceive_a

two_o substance_n be_v hypostatical_o unite_v and_o that_o death_n consist_v in_o their_o separation_n they_o imagine_v that_o the_o soul_n and_o body_n have_v no_o dependence_n on_o one_o another_o and_o that_o the_o absence_n of_o the_o spirit_n which_o for_o example_n may_v take_v a_o journey_n to_o paradise_n be_v not_o necessary_o attend_v with_o the_o destruction_n of_o the_o corporeal_a machine_n though_o they_o acknowledge_v that_o the_o body_n be_v always_o deprive_v of_o reason_n during_o its_o separation_n from_o the_o soul_n thus_o they_o believe_v that_o the_o only_a reason_n why_o a_o fool_n or_o idiot_n act_n and_o speak_v absurd_o be_v because_o his_o soul_n and_o consequent_o his_o reason_n have_v forsake_v he_o as_o for_o lunatic_n and_o hypochondriacal_a person_n who_o have_v some_o lucid_a interval_n and_o be_v only_o deprive_v of_o their_o reason_n by_o fit_n they_o endeavour_v to_o solve_v the_o difficulty_n by_o maintain_v that_o the_o soul_n leave_v her_o

the_o organ_n which_o hinder_v the_o soul_n from_o perform_v her_o function_n they_o upbraid_v he_o with_o the_o absurdity_n of_o his_o opinion_n for_o say_v they_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n be_v a_o

from_o this_o principle_n they_o infer_v that_o neither_o the_o presence_n nor_o absence_n of_o the_o soul_n can_v produce_v any_o alteration_n in_o the_o machinal_a course_n of_o the_o body_n which_o
