i_o omit_v here_o many_o other_o opinion_n touch_v this_o matter_n which_o come_v not_o so_o near_o unto_o the_o truth_n namely_o a_o great_a controversy_n between_o the_o doctor_n in_o divinity_n and_o in_o physic_n touch_v the_o vegetative_a and_o sensitive_a soul_n and_o the_o time_n when_o the_o burden_n begin_v to_o be_v nourish_v and_o to_o have_v sense_n thereby_o consider_v that_o it_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n better_a to_o inquire_v of_o these_o thing_n to_o sobriety_n and_o to_o leave_v the_o resolution_n to_o god_n who_o know_v that_o which_o be_v hide_v from_o we_o then_o by_o vain_a question_n and_o curious_a disputation_n to_o think_v to_o determine_v of_o the_o matter_n according_a to_o truth_n and_o to_o the_o contentation_n of_o every_o one_o for_o as_o we_o have_v before_o touch_v we_o can_v know_v nothing_o either_o of_o the_o generation_n or_o original_n or_o of_o the_o substance_n and_o nature_n of_o our_o soul_n or_o of_o the_o immortality_n thereof_o but_o only_o by_o those_o testimony_n which_o by_o the_o effect_n it_o aftoord_v unto_o we_o and_o which_o god_n set_v down_o in_o his_o word_n wherefore_o according_a to_o that_o which_o have_v be_v

speech_n about_o this_o matter_n namely_o of_o the_o mean_n by_o which_o the_o reasonable_a soul_n shall_v be_v infect_v with_o original_a sin_n see_v it_o be_v not_o engender_v of_o that_o corrupt_a seed_n of_o which_o the_o body_n be_v breed_v sin_n let_v it_o then_o suffice_v we_o to_o know_v that_o albeit_o the_o soul_n can_v not_o be_v defile_v with_o sin_n as_o it_o be_v create_v of_o god_n yet_o as_o god_n create_v all_o mankind_n in_o adam_n so_o when_o he_o fall_v all_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o world_n fall_v with_o he_o and_o in_o he_o be_v bereave_v both_o of_o original_a justice_n and_o of_o other_o gift_n which_o he_o lose_v by_o his_o fall_n so_o that_o albeit_o man_n soul_n be_v create_v and_o produce_v of_o god_n pure_a and_o entire_a yet_o they_o keep_v not_o that_o purity_n still_o neither_o can_v they_o be_v the_o soul_n of_o man_n and_o join_v unto_o their_o body_n and_o so_o become_v member_n of_o mankind_n in_o they_o with_o any_o other_o condition_n then_o with_o that_o into_o which_o the_o first_o father_n bring_v all_o his_o child_n by_o his_o sin_n as_o we_o have_v before_o touch_v wherefore_o we_o must_v not_o search_v for_o the_o cause_n of_o that_o original_a sin_n wherewith_o they_o be_v infect_v either_o in_o their_o creation_n because_o they_o be_v create_v by_o god_n of_o a_o divine_a and_o immortal_a essence_n or_o in_o the_o generation_n of_o the_o body_n and_o in_o that_o seed_n of_o which_o it_o be_v engender_v as_o if_o the_o soul_n take_v she_o original_n &_o infection_n together_o with_o the_o body_n from_o the_o seed_n moreover_o we_o must_v not_o as_o the_o pythagorean_n do_v search_v for_o the_o corruption_n of_o soul_n in_o their_o entrance_n and_o conjunction_n with_o their_o body_n as_o if_o they_o receive_v it_o from_o they_o but_o we_o must_v seek_v it_o in_o that_o blot_n of_o sin_n unto_o which_o the_o whole_a race_n of_o mankind_n be_v make_v subject_a through_o the_o fall_n &_o

the_o mean_n and_o manner_n how_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v for_o this_o cause_n saint_n paul_n do_v bring_v we_o back_o to_o this_o consideration_n when_o in_o propound_v unto_o we_o the_o first_o
