necessary_a that_o the_o continuance_n of_o the_o body_n in_o his_o nature_n be_v coeternal_a with_o the_o immortality_n of_o the_o soul_n let_v no_o man_n marvel_n that_o we_o call_v life_n cutten_n

you_o shall_v not_o find_v in_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v whole_o incorruptible_a and_o immortal_a a_o like_a and_o uniform_a continuance_n because_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o thing_n above_o be_v not_o like_o the_o thing_n beneath_o neither_o be_v it_o convenient_a to_o require_v in_o man_n a_o continuance_n ever_o like_a unto_o itself_o indistinct_a without_o any_o variety_n as_o in_o those_o thing_n be_v which_o from_o the_o beginning_n be_v create_v immortal_a and_o do_v only_o by_o the_o appointment_n of_o the_o creator_n continue_v everlasting_o but_o that_o man_n have_v their_o continnaunce_n according_a to_o the_o soul_n from_o their_o creation_n without_o any_o alteration_n or_o change_n but_o according_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o body_n man_n have_v immortality_n by_o a_o change_n for_o the_o cause_n of_o the_o resurrection_n do_v require_v it_o &_o look_v thereupon_o we_o look_v for_o the_o dissolution_n of_o the_o body_n as_o it_o which_o follow_v this_o needy_a and_o corruptible_a life_n and_o after_o ward_n we_o hope_v for_o a_o incorruptible_a continuance_n without_o alteration_n neither_o make_v our_o end_n like_a to_o the_o end_n of_o bruit_n beast_n neither_o to_o the_o continuance_n of_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v immortal_a lest_o for_o the_o lack_n of_o knowledge_n in_o this_o matter_n we_o make_v the_o nature_n and_o

the_o rest_n and_o quietness_n of_o the_o sense_n when_o they_o understand_v nothing_o of_o thing_n present_a or_o which_o be_v then_o do_v nay_o they_o perceive_v not_o themselves_o either_o to_o
