the_o person_n and_o that_o for_o the_o same_o reason_n also_o the_o soul_n can_v be_v so_o but_o our_o author_n have_v a_o way_n of_o reason_v by_o himself_o for_o say_v he_o the_o soul_n be_v the_o person_n because_o it_o constitute_v the_o person_n but_o for_o that_o very_a cause_n say_v i_o the_o soul_n be_v not_o the_o person_n for_o whatsoever_o constitute_v a_o person_n must_v do_v it_o either_o efficient_o or_o formal_o that_o be_v either_o as_o a_o principle_n produce_v it_o or_o a_o principle_n compound_v it_o as_o for_o the_o first_o way_n whatsoever_o constitute_v a_o person_n efficient_o must_v do_v it_o either_o by_o creation_n or_o generation_n but_o this_o the_o soul_n as_o much_o a_o superior_a power_n as_o it_o be_v be_v not_o able_a to_o do_v for_o will_v any_o one_o say_v that_o the_o soul_n can_v either_o create_v or_o generate_v the_o person_n or_o to_o speak_v more_o plain_o the_o man_n who_o be_v the_o person_n and_o then_o for_o the_o other_o way_n by_o which_o it_o may_v be_v say_v to_o constitute_v a_o person_n to_o wit_n formal_o this_o it_o can_v do_v no_o otherwise_o than_o as_o it_o be_v a_o constituent_a part_n and_o therefore_o only_o as_o a_o partial_a and_o not_o a_o total_a adequate_a cause_n of_o the_o constitution_n that_o be_v in_o other_o word_n the_o soul_n as_o the_o form_n must_v concur_v with_o the_o body_n as_o the_o
