to_o be_v see_v yet_o more_o in_o that_o which_o we_o read_v concerning_o the_o hearer_n of_o hegesias_n the_o cyrenian_a who_o die_v willing_o after_o they_o have_v hear_v he_o discourse_n of_o the_o

disperse_o here_o and_o there_o in_o other_o place_n his_o chief_a conclusion_n be_v these_o that_o man_n soul_n proceed_v not_o of_o their_o body_n nor_o of_o the_o seed_n of_o the_o parent_n but_o come_v from_o above_o and_o be_v as_o you_o will_v say_v graft_v into_o our_o body_n by_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n that_o the_o soul_n be_v partly_o tie_v to_o the_o body_n and_o to_o the_o instrument_n thereof_o and_o partly_o frank_a free_a workful_a and_o continue_v of_o itself_o and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o that_o it_o be_v neither_o a_o body_n nor_o the_o harmony_n of_o the_o body_n but_o if_o we_o consider_v the_o life_n and_o operation_n which_o it_o give_v to_o the_o body_n it_o be_v after_o a_o sort_n the_o perfection_n or_o rather_o the_o perfector_fw-la of_o the_o body_n and_o if_o we_o have_v a_o eye_n to_o the_o understanding_n whereby_o it_o guyde_v the_o move_n and_o do_n of_o the_o body_n it_o be_v as_o a_o governor_n of_o the_o body_n that_o the_o further_a it_o be_v withdraw_v from_o the_o sense_n the_o better_a it_o discourse_v of_o thing_n insomuch_o that_o when_o it_o be_v utter_o separate_v from_o they_o it_o understand_v thing_n without_o discourse_v reason_v or_o debate_v yea_o even_o in_o a_o moment_n because_o this_o debate_n be_v but_o a_o certain_a lightning_n or_o brightness_n of_o the_o mind_n which_o now_o take_v advisement_n in_o matter_n whereof_o it_o doubt_v and_o it_o doubt_v wheresoever_o the_o body_n yield_v any_o impedement_n unto_o it_o but_o it_o shall_v neither_o doubt_v nor_o seek_v advisement_n any_o more_o when_o it_o be_v once_o out_o of_o the_o body_n but_o shall_v conceive_v the_o truth_n without_o waver_v that_o the_o soul_n in_o the_o body_n be_v not_o proper_o there_o as_o in_o a_o place_n or_o as_o in_o a_o ground_n because_o it_o be_v not_o contain_v or_o comprehend_v therein_o and_o may_v also_o be_v separate_v from_o it_o but_o rather_o if_o a_o man_n have_v eye_n to_o see_v it_o withal_o he_o shall_v see_v that_o the_o body_n be_v in_o the_o soul_n as_o a_o accessary_a be_v in_o a_o principal_a or_o as_o a_o thing_n contain_v in_o a_o container_n or_o a_o shed_v or_o liquid_a thing_n in_o a_o thing_n that_o be_v not_o liquid_a because_o the_o soul_n embrace_v the_o body_n and_o quicken_v it_o and_o move_v it_o equal_o and_o alike_o in_o all_o part_n that_o every_o ability_n thereof_o be_v in_o every_o part_n of_o the_o body_n as_o much_o in_o one_o part_n as_o in_o another_o as_o a_o whole_a soul_n in_o every_o part_n notwithstanding_o that_o every_o several_a ability_n thereof_o seem_v to_o be_v several_o in_o some_o particular_a member_n or_o part_n because_o the_o instrument_n thereof_o be_v there_o as_o the_o sensitive_a ability_n seem_v to_o rest_v in_o the_o head_n the_o ireful_a in_o the_o heart_n and_o the_o quicken_n in_o the_o liver_n because_o the_o sinew_n heartstring_n and_o vein_n come_v from_o those_o part_n whereas_o the_o

for_o the_o execute_n of_o itself_o and_o to_o be_v short_a that_o the_o soul_n be_v a_o life_n by_o itself_o a_o life_n all_o in_o one_o unpaitable_a which_o cause_v to_o grow_v and_o grow_v not_o

a_o particular_a substance_n in_o every_o several_a man_n as_o a_o light_n to_o lead_v he_o in_o the_o darkness_n of_o this_o life_n for_o sure_o it_o be_v no_o more_o difficulty_n to_o the_o everlasting_a god_n to_o create_v many_o sundry_a soul_n that_o every_o man_n may_v have_v one_o several_o alone_a by_o himself_o than_o to_o have_v create_v but_o only_o one_o soul_n for_o all_o man_n together_o but_o it_o be_v far_o more_o for_o his_o glory_n to_o be_v know_v praise_v and_o exalt_v of_o many_o soul_n yea_o and_o more_o for_o our_o welfare_n to_o praise_v exalt_v and_o know_v he_o yea_o and_o to_o live_v of_o ourselves_o both_o in_o this_o life_n and_o in_o the_o life_n to_o come_v then_o if_o any_o other_o universal_a spirit_n soul_n or_o mind_n whatsoever_o shall_v have_v live_v and_o understand_v either_o in_o we_o or_o after_o we_o now_o then_o for_o this_o matter_n let_v we_o conclude_v both_o by_o reason_n and_o by_o antiquity_n and_o by_o the_o knowledge_n that_o every_o of_o we_o have_v of_o himself_o that_o the_o soul_n and_o the_o body_n be_v thing_n divers_a that_o the_o soul_n be_v a_o spirit_n and_o not_o a_o body_n that_o this_o spirit_n have_v in_o man_n three_o ability_n or_o power_n whereof_o two_o be_v exercise_v by_o the_o body_n and_o the_o three_o work_v of_o itself_o without_o the_o body_n that_o these_o three_o ability_n be_v in_o the_o one_o only_a soul_n as_o in_o their_o root_n whereof_o two_o do_v cease_v whensoever_o the_o body_n fail_v they_o and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o the_o soul_n abide_v whole_a without_o a_o batement_n of_o any_o of_o her_o power_n as_o a_o craftsman_n continue_v a_o craftsman_n though_o he_o want_v tool_n to_o work_v withal_o and_o final_o that_o this_o soul_n be_v a_o substance_n that_o continue_v of_o itself_o and_o be_v unmaterial_a and_o spiritual_a over_o the_o which_o neither_o death_n nor_o corruption_n can_v natural_o have_v any_o power_n and_o for_o a_o conclusion_n of_o all_o that_o ever_o i_o have_v treat_v of_o hitherto_o in_o this_o book_n let_v we_o maintain_v that_o there_o be_v but_o only_o one_o god_n who_o by_o his_o own_o goodness_n and_o wisdom_n be_v the_o creator_n and_o governor_n of_o the_o world_n and_o of_o all_o that_o be_v therein_o that_o in_o the_o world_n he_o create_v man_n after_o his_o own_o image_n as_o in_o respect_n of_o mind_n and_o after_o the_o image_n of_o his_o other_o creature_n as_o in_o respect_n of_o life_n sense_n and_o move_v mortal_a so_o far_o forth_o as_o he_o hold_v the_o likeness_n of_o a_o creaturn_n and_o immortal_a so_o far_o forth_o as_o he_o bear_v the_o image_n of_o the_o creator_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n in_o his_o soul_n that_o he_o which_o go_v out_o of_o himself_o to_o see_v the_o world_n do_v forthwith_o see_v that_o there_o be_v a_o god_n for_o his_o work_n declare_v he_o everywhere_o that_o he_o which_o will_v yet_o still_o doubt_v thereof_o need_v but_o to_o enter_v into_o himself_o and_o he_o shall_v meet_v he_o there_o for_o he_o shall_v find_v there_o a_o power_n which_o he_o see_v not_o that_o he_o which_o believe_v there_o be_v one_o god_n believe_v himself_o to_o be_v immortal_a for_o such_o consideration_n can_v not_o light_v into_o a_o mortal_a nature_n and_o that_o he_o which_o believe_v himself_o to_o be_v immortal_a believe_v that_o there_o be_v a_o god_n for_o without_o the_o unutterable_a power_n of_o the_o one_o god_n the_o mortal_a and_o immortal_a can_v never_o join_v together_o that_o he_o which_o see_v the_o order_n of_o the_o world_n the_o proportion_n of_o man_n and_o the_o harmony_n that_o be_v in_o either_o of_o they_o compound_v of_o so_o many_o contrary_n can_v doubt_v that_o there_o be_v a_o providence_n for_o the_o nature_n
