A26976	Of the immortality of mans soul, and the nature of it and other spirits. Two discourses, one in a letter to an unknown doubter, the other in a reply to Dr. Henry Moore's Animadversions on a private letter to him, which he published in his second edition of Mr. Joseph Glanvil's Sadducismus triumphatus, or, History of apparitions by Richard Baxter.

if_o a_o man_n believe_v all_o the_o article_n of_o the_o creed_n only_o because_o man_n tell_v he_o that_o they_o be_v true_a it_o be_v but_o a_o human_a faith_n as_o rest_v only_o on_o man_n
