nevertheless_o you_o have_v not_o reach_v your_o point_n nor_o will_v all_o you_o have_v say_v attain_v the_o end_n you_o propound_v unless_o you_o go_v far_o and_o prove_v the_o soul_n of_o man_n

of_o stand_v at_o a_o tribunal_n and_o undergo_a such_o a_o judgement_n in_o another_o world_n as_o we_o be_v speak_v of_o sebast_n i_o can_v have_v wish_v you_o will_v have_v give_v i_o leave_v to_o

answer_v these_o two_o thing_n first_o i_o say_v it_o be_v not_o necessary_a to_o the_o business_n in_o hand_n that_o the_o soul_n be_v prove_v to_o be_v strict_o immaterial_a and_o capable_a of_o

that_o all_o the_o power_n of_o the_o soul_n be_v lay_v asleep_o by_o death_n until_o that_o time_n yet_o now_o upon_o a_o reunion_n with_o their_o proper_a organ_n they_o will_v revive_v again_o so_o that_o i_o do_v not_o in_o my_o proof_n fall_v short_a of_o the_o mark_n i_o aim_v at_o but_o you_o out-shoot_a the_o point_n in_o your_o demand_n for_o whether_o the_o soul_n be_v a_o spiritual_a substance_n or_o no_o so_o long_o as_o those_o perfection_n which_o we_o have_v enumerate_v belong_v to_o it_o there_o be_v nothing_o want_v to_o make_v it_o capable_a of_o undergo_a a_o judgement_n but_o second_o to_o speak_v my_o own_o mind_n plain_o and_o to_o come_v home_o to_o your_o satisfaction_n i_o must_v tell_v you_o immaterial_a that_o as_o for_o my_o part_n i_o do_v not_o doubt_v but_o that_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n be_v proper_o and_o strict_o of_o a_o spiritual_a nature_n so_o i_o be_o confident_a that_o those_o thing_n which_o we_o have_v ascribe_v to_o it_o do_v sufficient_o prove_v it_o to_o be_v so_o see_v it_o be_v impossible_a to_o salve_v those_o phaenomena_n or_o to_o give_v any_o tolerable_a account_n of_o those_o great_a accomplishment_n and_o

the_o eye_n though_o it_o be_v a_o very_a admirable_a and_o exquisite_a organ_n can_v by_o no_o mean_n be_v say_v to_o perceive_v the_o object_n of_o sight_n but_o only_o to_o transmit_v or_o
