A86451	The grand prerogative of humane nature namely, the souls naturall or native immortality, and freedome from corruption, shewed by many arguments, and also defended against the rash and rude conceptions of a late presumptuous authour, who hath adventured to impugne it.

why_o a_o soul_n may_v be_v sensible_a of_o a_o spirit_n be_v because_o the_o soul_n be_v spiritual_a and_o thereby_o prepare_v to_o receive_v a_o impression_n from_o it_o and_o also_o be_v
