A44985	An answer to some queries propos'd by W.C., or, A refutation of Helmont's pernicious error (that every man is often born, and hath twelve ages of tryal allow'd him in the world by God) warmly contended for, in and about Lambourn in Wiltshire : in a letter to a friend.

some_o information_n to_o prevent_v that_o error_n and_o confusion_n such_o a_o strange_a way_n of_o numera_fw-la 8_o but_o to_o cut_v my_o work_n short_a instead_o of_o amass_v more_o argument_n of_o

of_o it_o may_v be_v better_o understand_v it_o will_v first_o be_v necessary_a for_o i_o to_o give_v you_o a_o account_n of_o as_o much_o of_o the_o hypothesis_n of_o van_n helmont_n as_o will_v be_v needful_a for_o my_o purpose_n and_o this_o i_o will_v do_v out_o of_o a_o book_n send_v i_o by_o the_o inquirer_n call_v a_o letter_n concern_v the_o revolution_n of_o humane_a soul_n in_o that_o we_o be_v tell_v pag._n 10_o 11_o 12._o that_o every_o man_n live_v a_o 1000_o year_n on_o the_o earth_n in_o which_o time_n he_o undergo_v 12_o revolution_n in_o the_o same_o body_n in_o all_o which_o time_n the_o soul_n be_v absent_a from_o the_o body_n 333⅓_n year_n and_o if_o these_o 12_o time_n of_o absence_n be_v compute_v one_o with_o another_o the_o distance_n between_o every_o

in_o the_o time_n that_o this_o philosopher_n have_v assign_v for_o it_o and_o the_o reason_n i_o do_v it_o by_o be_v obvious_a viz._n the_o testimony_n of_o our_o sense_n that_o the_o body_n of_o depart_a soul_n be_v not_o reassume_v by_o they_o in_o a_o much_o long_a space_n it_o be_v so_o intolerable_o ignorant_a to_o think_v that_o our_o body_n do_v within_o the_o compass_n of_o 28_o year_n corrupt_v small_a enough_o to_o be_v draw_v into_o the_o womb_n at_o every_o new_a imaginary_a birth_n that_o the_o plea_n of_o dotage_n which_o common_o attend_v old_a age_n will_v not_o be_v sufficient_a to_o excuse_v it_o for_o who_o faculty_n can_v be_v so_o much_o impair_v as_o not_o to_o know_v that_o ordinary_o in_o dry_a grave_n the_o bone_n will_v appear_v entire_a and_o in_o

be_v about_o 1000_o year_n old_a these_o be_v not_o can_v not_o be_v attract_v into_o the_o womb_n and_o yet_o the_o man_n in_o who_o contexture_n they_o once_o be_v can_v make_v their_o revolution_n

that_o be_v more_o general_n i_o will_v carry_v your_o thought_n as_o far_o as_o egypt_n judea_n and_o indeed_o to_o all_o the_o east_n where_o ancient_o that_o curious_a way_n of_o embalm_v dead_a body_n prevail_v or_o to_o old_a rome_n and_o many_o other_o nation_n who_o burn_v their_o dead_a body_n and_o by_o a_o artful_a way_n they_o have_v separate_v the_o ash_n of_o the_o body_n from_o that_o of_o the_o fuel_n and_o then_o put_v they_o into_o pot_n now_o be_v i_o a_o helmontian_n there_o be_v nothing_o i_o shall_v hate_v more_o than_o these_o way_n of_o preserve_a body_n for_o they_o be_v so_o order_v that_o the_o magnetism_n of_o the_o soul_n have_v afterward_o no_o power_n to_o draw_v they_o towards_o a_o revolution_n i_o will_v send_v these_o curious_a inquirer_n no_o

what_o he_o have_v fond_o conceive_v but_o if_o man_n will_v only_o exclaim_v against_o and_o call_v it_o damnable_a doctrine_n as_o i_o hear_v some_o do_v i_o will_v thereupon_o ask_v this_o question_n whether_o it_o be_v not_o a_o duty_n incumbent_n on_o teacher_n to_o refute_v this_o damnable_a doctrine_n if_o they_o be_v able_a that_o man_n may_v not_o run_v into_o it_o but_o see_v

therefore_o i_o think_v it_o altogether_o impossible_a for_o they_o to_o confute_v it_o if_o any_o one_o will_v undertake_v to_o answer_v these_o question_n i_o mean_v any_o teacher_n of_o one_o of_o the_o divers_a congregation_n and_o send_v his_o answer_n to_o i_o it_o shall_v be_v kind_o receive_v i_o have_v offer_v my_o query_n to_o some_o of_o the_o clergy_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n
