A86451	The grand prerogative of humane nature namely, the souls naturall or native immortality, and freedome from corruption, shewed by many arguments, and also defended against the rash and rude conceptions of a late presumptuous authour, who hath adventured to impugne it.

which_o man_n be_v compose_v be_v not_o annihilate_v by_o death_n without_o any_o remnant_n of_o be_v leave_v they_o but_o that_o they_o cease_v only_o to_o be_v unite_v or_o to_o be_v man_n in_o

say_v that_o although_o the_o soul_n after_o separation_n from_o the_o body_n be_v not_o a_o person_n humane_a or_o a_o entity_n complete_a yet_o still_o have_v it_o a_o stable_a subsistence_n and_o leave_v not_o to_o be_v a_o substance_n intellectual_a or_o a_o spirit_n wherefore_o it_o do_v not_o follow_v that_o because_o the_o soul_n be_v not_o a_o person_n or_o a_o complete_a entity_n after_o separation_n that_o therefore_o it_o can_v have_v no_o action_n but_o must_v either_o sleep_v or_o die_v the_o soul_n be_v it_o separate_v or_o unite_v be_v a_o spirit_n a_o spirit_n be_v

or_o slumber_n or_o in_o any_o danger_n of_o be_v benumb_v and_o much_o less_o of_o death_n to_o the_o three_o i_o answer_v that_o the_o apostle_n speak_v there_o not_o of_o christian_a soul_n be_v miserable_a but_o of_o christian_a man_n be_v so_o and_o therefore_o let_v the_o soul_n be_v never_o so_o happy_a after_o death_n yet_o if_o there_o shall_v be_v no_o resurrection_n the_o man_n can_v be_v never_o otherwise_o then_o miserable_a yea_o far_o more_o miserable_a than_o any_o other_o man_n because_o in_o this_o life_n they_o shall_v be_v afflict_v in_o a_o high_a degree_n than_o other_o and_o in_o the_o next_o they_o shall_v not_o be_v at_o all_o you_o will_v say_v what_o matter_n be_v it_o if_o the_o man_n be_v miserable_a in_o this_o world_n and_o never_o happy_a in_o any_o world_n so_o the_o soul_n in_o the_o next_o world_n be_v make_v happy_a in_o opposition_n to_o this_o i_o say_v yes_o it_o be_v a_o matter_n and_o a_o very_a great_a matter_n also_o if_o we_o will_v weigh_v
