not_o for_o clear_v their_o meaning_n recurre_v to_o that_o conceit_n of_o transmigration_n of_o soul_n from_o one_o body_n into_o another_o and_o consequent_o that_o he_o shall_v be_v punish_v for_o the_o sin_n of_o his_o soul_n commit_v while_o it_o be_v in_o another_o body_n for_o albeit_o this_o be_v a_o opinion_n among_o pagan_a philosopher_n and_o somewhat_o of_o it_o creep_v in_o among_o the_o pharisee_n as_o may_v be_v gather_v in_o part_n from_o matth._n 14.2_o and_o 16_o 14._o yet_o it_o be_v conceive_v that_o they_o only_o hold_v the_o transmigration_n of_o righteous_a man_n

that_o they_o look_v on_o original_a sin_n as_o the_o pharisee_n do_v ver_fw-la 34._o of_o which_o in_o its_o own_o place_n never_o consider_v nor_o lay_v it_o to_o heart_n but_o where_o it_o be_v evidence_v by_o such_o a_o stroke_n but_o we_o be_v to_o conceive_v that_o they_o acknowledge_v original_a sin_n and_o that_o this_o do_v deserve_v the_o great_a of_o affliction_n and_o plague_n not_o only_o spiritual_a but_o bodily_a also_o as_o be_v see_v on_o some_o infant_n consider_v 3._o christ_n answer_n be_v not_o to_o be_v understand_v 1._o as_o if_o he_o deny_v they_o to_o have_v sin_n

of_o the_o purpose_n seem_v to_o be_v this_o the_o ruler_n have_v give_v a_o charge_n to_o the_o people_n especial_o the_o inhabitant_n of_o jerusalem_n to_o spy_v out_o if_o they_o can_v find_v
