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.	Baxter, Richard, 1615-1691.	1682 (1682)	Wing B1331; Wing B1333; ESTC R5878	76,803	192

its_o organ_n can_v rob_v the_o soul_n of_o its_o reason_n its_o essential_a faculty_n though_o the_o workman_n break_v his_o tool_n his_o hand_n do_v not_o lose_v their_o skill_n but_o cease_v to_o

mineral_n vegetable_a and_o animal_n kingdom_n appear_v to_o i_o but_o as_o the_o more_o eminent_a work_n of_o a_o most_o excellent_a operator_n as_o engine_n of_o the_o most_o accurate_a engineer_n they_o all_o live_v and_o have_v a_o principle_n of_o life_n manifest_a in_o their_o growth_n and_o augmentation_n and_o so_o far_o as_o they_o be_v live_v weight_n as_o i_o can_v perceive_v from_o the_o same_o source_n but_o than_o come_v in_o those_o nature_n and_o faculty_n whereby_o each_o be_v distinguish_v from_o other_o even_o like_o several_a piece_n of_o clock_n or_o watch-work_n the_o one_o show_v the_o hour_n of_o the_o day_n and_o no_o more_o the_o next_o show_v the_o hour_n and_o minute_n another_o show_v both_o the_o former_a and_o likewise_o the_o age_n of_o the_o moon_n another_o have_v not_o only_o the_o three_o former_a motion_n but_o a_o addition_n of_o the_o rise_n and_o fall_v of_o tide_n yet_o all_o this_o and_o many_o more_o that_o in_o that_o way_n be_v perform_v be_v several_a distinct_a motion_n arise_v all_o from_o the_o same_o cause_n the_o spring_n or_o weight_n the_o principle_n of_o motion_n in_o they_o so_o among_o live_a weight_n the_o first_o do_v only_o grow_v and_o augment_v their_o bulk_n and_o have_v no_o possibility_n in_o nature_n to_o augment_v their_o kind_n the_o next_o to_o wit_n vegetables_n do_v not_o only_o grow_v and_o increase_v their_o bulk_n but_o likewise_o have_v a_o power_n of_o propagate_a their_o like_a the_o three_o family_n i_o mean_v the_o animal_n kingdom_n do_v not_o only_o live_v and_o increase_v their_o kind_n but_o likewise_o be_v make_v sensative_a and_o last_o we_o ourselves_o that_o be_v not_o only_o possess_v of_o all_o the_o former_a but_o of_o something_o i_o know_v not_o what_o we_o think_v more_o excellent_a and_o call_v reason_n and_o all_o this_o from_o the_o same_o source_n namely_o that_o we_o live_v which_o if_o we_o do_v not_o we_o can_v not_o perform_v any_o of_o these_o act_n for_o life_n in_o we_o be_v the_o same_o as_o the_o spring_n or_o weight_n in_o the_o watch_n or_o clock_n which_o cease_v all_o other_o motion_n cease_v as_o in_o a_o watch_n or_o clock_n the_o spring_n or_o weight_n be_v down_o as_o life_n therefore_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o all_o motion_n and_o all_o natural_a operation_n and_o faculty_n yet_o those_o multifarious_a operation_n and_o faculty_n manifest_a in_o and_o proper_a to_o the_o particular_a species_n of_o the_o three_o kingdom_n require_v not_o divers_a principle_n of_o life_n no_o more_o than_o divers_a motion_n specify_v in_o a_o watch_n or_o clock_n require_v divers_a weight_n or_o spring_n and_o as_o the_o diversity_n of_o motion_n in_o watch_n or_o clock_n arise_v not_o from_o diversity_n of_o weight_n or_o spring_n but_o rather_o from_o other_o mean_n so_o those_o diversity_n of_o nature_n and_o faculty_n manifest_a throughout_o the_o three_o kingdom_n arise_v not_o from_o divers_a principle_n of_o life_n but_o from_o one_o principle_n of_o life_n manifest_v its_o power_n in_o body_n diverse_o organise_v so_o that_o a_o tree_n or_o herb_n that_o only_o vegitate_v and_o propagate_v its_o kind_n
