observation_n upon_o a_o sermon_n entitle_v a_o confutation_n of_o atheism_n from_o the_o faculty_n of_o the_o soul_n alias_o matter_n and_o motion_n can_v think_v preach_v april_n 4._o 1692._o by_o way_n of_o refutation_n the_o whole_a sermon_n be_v comprehend_v in_o 39_o page_n the_o first_o 12_o of_o which_o or_o to_o page_n 12_o be_v employ_v as_o a_o introduction_n or_o apparatus_fw-la to_o his_o text_n and_o design_n and_o page_n 12_o the_o preacher_n say_v he_o intend_v to_o prove_v that_o the_o life_n motion_n essence_n and_o nature_n of_o man_n be_v derive_v from_o god_n and_o may_v direct_v man_n to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o he_o but_o all_o this_o need_v not_o be_v prove_v to_o man_n of_o my_o opinion_n who_o do_v willing_o agree_v the_o truth_n of_o his_o assertion_n p._n 13._o he_o say_v he_o will_v prove_v that_o there_o be_v a_o immaterial_a substance_n in_o man_n which_o we_o call_v soul_n and_o spirit_n essential_o distinct_a from_o our_o body_n and_o this_o if_o he_o shall_v substantial_o perform_v it_o shall_v pass_v for_o heroic_a and_o above_o all_o ordinary_a power_n but_o present_o he_o seek_v to_o avoid_v and_o shift_v off_o his_o performance_n of_o prove_v by_o say_v that_o the_o thing_n be_v evident_a in_o itself_o but_o this_o i_o do_v utter_o deny_v and_o think_v the_o contrary_n more_o evident_a viz._n that_o the_o humane_a soul_n be_v a_o material_a spirit_n generate_v grow_v and_o fall_v with_o the_o body_n and_o rise_v again_o with_o it_o at_o the_o sound_n of_o the_o voice_n of_o the_o archangel_n and_o the_o trump_n of_o god_n and_o upon_o this_o difference_n between_o our_o position_n the_o state_n of_o our_o present_a controversy_n will_v depend_v i_o have_v deny_v this_o his_o assertion_n that_o the_o thing_n be_v self-evident_a why_o but_o say_v he_o there_o be_v something_o in_o man_n composition_n that_o think_v deliberate_v consent_n and_o actuate_v all_o humane_a sensation_n and_o power_n these_o activity_n can_v come_v from_o nothing_o therefore_o they_o come_v from_o a_o immaterial_a soul_n or_o spirit_n in_o man._n to_o this_o i_o answer_v his_o consequence_n be_v not_o good_a viz._n these_o power_n come_v from_o something_o ergo_fw-la from_o a_o immaterial_a spirit_n for_o they_o may_v come_v from_o a_o material_a spirit_n in_o proof_n whereof_o i_o argue_v à_fw-fr simili_fw-la the_o plant_n live_v grow_v flourish_z and_o fructify_v by_o a_o material_a spirit_n the_o infect_v act_n admirable_o by_o a_o like_a spirit_n the_o brutus_n act_n sensible_o and_o know_o by_o a_o like_a spirit_n ergo_fw-la man_n may_v perform_v all_o his_o natural_a function_n by_o the_o like_a mean_n of_o a_o material_a spirit_n inspire_v and_o act_v the_o proper_a organ_n which_o god_n have_v make_v apt_a for_o such_o purpose_n we_o see_v in_o a_o musical_a organ_n every_o pipe_n have_v its_o proper_a sound_n and_o function_n and_o the_o same_o breath_n act_v they_o all_o and_o therein_o appear_v a_o great_a effect_n and_o power_n of_o matter_n and_o motion_n right_o fabricate_v and_o act_v by_o the_o hand_n of_o artist_n and_o what_o then_o may_v not_o god_n do_v with_o they_o and_o by_o they_o when_o he_o please_v i_o take_v a_o second_o exception_n to_o his_o say_n there_o be_v something_o in_o man_n composition_n that_o think_v argue_v etc._n etc._n he_o say_v there_o be_v no_o man_n so_o sceptical_a as_o to_o deny_v this_o or_o to_o doubt_v of_o it_o but_o his_o mistake_n be_v great_a in_o it_o for_o i_o do_v believe_v that_o there_o be_v not_o any_o particular_a thing_n in_o man_n composition_n that_o think_v argue_v etc._n etc._n but_o that_o it_o be_v the_o man_n himself_o viz._n the_o whole_a composition_n of_o soul_n and_o body_n by_o a_o divine_a and_o admirable_a contexture_n unite_v which_o think_v argue_v and_o do_v all_o other_o natural_a thing_n which_o god_n have_v give_v he_o a_o power_n and_o propensity_n to_o do_v it_o be_v not_o the_o preacher_n something_a in_o man_n that_o do_v all_o those_o thing_n which_o he_o mention_n but_o it_o be_v the_o man_n that_o do_v they_o not_o that_o something_o which_o he_o will_v surmise_v to_o be_v the_o soul_n for_o that_o can_v act_v without_o the_o bodily_a organ_n not_o think_v without_o the_o brain_n nor_o remember_v without_o the_o organ_n of_o memory_n any_o more_o than_o see_v without_o a_o eye_n or_o speak_v without_o a_o tongue_n or_o generate_v without_o a_o proper_a organ_n for_o that_o purpose_n and_o this_o needs_o be_v no_o news_n to_o our_o preacher_n

fearful_a sensitive_a or_o rational_a angry_a or_o the_o like_a and_o that_o one_o may_v say_v as_o proper_o that_o the_o soul_n weave_v or_o build_v and_o that_o it_o be_v not_o proper_a to_o say_v the_o soul_n learn_v or_o reason_n but_o the_o man_n do_v so_o viz._n the_o whole_a compositum_fw-la of_o soul_n and_o body_n do_v they_o further_o he_o say_v there_o to_o love_v hate_v think_v or_o
