what_o the_o condition_n of_o the_o body_n to_o which_o it_o shall_v be_v rejoin_v last_o what_o will_v be_v the_o quality_n of_o its_o happiness_n then_o when_o it_o shall_v be_v receive_v into_o

and_o intelligible_o as_o i_o be_o able_a i_o lay_v down_o therefore_o as_o a_o foundation_n a_o thing_n which_o remain_v indisputable_a among_o christian_n viz._n that_o the_o soul_n and_o body_n be_v two_o substance_n in_o their_o nature_n marvellous_o differ_v and_o in_o like_a manner_n endow_v with_o faculty_n altogether_o various_a for_o the_o body_n be_v in_o its_o nature_n material_a and_o take_v from_o the_o earth_n and_o the_o other_o element_n the_o soul_n be_v a_o spiritual_a substance_n almost_o of_o the_o same_o kind_n with_o those_o intelligence_n separate_v from_o matter_n which_o we_o usual_o call_v by_o the_o name_n of_o angel_n the_o body_n have_v indeed_o certain_a organ_n as_o they_o be_v call_v by_o the_o mediation_n whereof_o it_o be_v capable_a of_o receive_v the_o image_n of_o sensible_a thing_n and_o to_o judge_v of_o their_o quality_n the_o hear_v the_o see_v the_o smell_a and_o those_o other_o thing_n which_o we_o name_v sense_n be_v without_o doubt_n corporeal_a power_n in_o we_o and_o appoint_v to_o judge_v of_o colour_n sound_v odour_n and_o other_o quality_n which_o attend_v and_o accompany_v material_a object_n nevertheless_o it_o be_v the_o soul_n that_o comunicate_v to_o the_o body_n the_o power_n of_o use_v its_o own_o organ_n and_o employ_v its_o self_n in_o the_o use_n of_o those_o sense_n and_o this_o appear_v manifest_o because_o as_o soon_o as_o the_o soul_n be_v separate_v from_o it_o all_o the_o power_n of_o these_o organ_n be_v extinct_a and_o there_o remain_v not_o the_o least_o shadow_n of_o their_o operation_n

not_o a_o marvellous_a power_n to_o give_v the_o bias_n and_o inclination_n to_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o soul_n but_o so_o it_o be_v that_o these_o passion_n be_v not_o move_v but_o by_o mean_n of_o

they_o be_v so_o unite_v in_o man_n that_o they_o make_v but_o one_o subject_n so_o that_o neither_o body_n apart_o nor_o soul_n apart_o do_v constitute_v as_o they_o say_v any_o perfect_a be_v or_o

to_o who_o they_o have_v this_o respective_a relation_n now_o it_o seem_v that_o imperfect_a nature_n produce_v no_o operation_n every_o thing_n that_o you_o observe_v in_o nature_n be_v they_o such_o

a_o cause_n that_o although_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n shall_v hinder_v as_o it_o do_v in_o our_o integrity_n our_o be_v sick_a or_o wound_a so_o it_o be_v that_o our_o body_n in_o themselves_o will_v be_v capable_a of_o the_o impression_n of_o the_o cause_n of_o all_o these_o alteration_n and_o that_o although_o god_n shall_v perpetual_o preserve_v we_o from_o death_n nevertheless_o the_o

therefore_o necessary_a that_o although_o our_o body_n be_v raise_v again_o and_o remake_v of_o the_o same_o matter_n of_o which_o they_o be_v now_o compound_v the_o constitution_n of_o they_o must_v
