brief_o answer_v some_o few_o objection_n which_o i_o conceive_v may_v be_v make_v more_o direct_o even_o against_o this_o mean_a manner_n of_o the_o soul_n procreation_n and_o so_o conclude_v the_o objection_n be_v these_o four_o objection_n objection_n first_o that_o the_o soul_n shall_v not_o be_v immortal_a if_o it_o may_v be_v resolve_v into_o a_o former_a principle_n namely_o adam_n soul_n from_o whence_o all_o come_v second_o god_n shall_v hereby_o still_o work_v immediate_o in_o the_o creation_n of_o soul_n and_o so_o shall_v not_o yet_o have_v end_v his_o work_n and_o rest_n from_o his_o labour_n three_o man_n shall_v still_o be_v inferior_a to_o beast_n in_o that_o he_o can_v beget_v his_o like_a alone_a but_o must_v have_v more_o help_n from_o god_n than_o they_o last_o god_n shall_v still_o be_v touch_v with_o sin_n in_o be_v the_o immediate_a efficient_a of_o our_o sinful_a soul_n all_o which_o may_v be_v as_o easy_o answer_v as_o object_v another_o 1_o obj._n that_o the_o soul_n must_v be_v mortal_a if_o it_o proceed_v from_o another_o for_o the_o first_o first_o although_o it_o be_v true_a that_o all_o mix_a body_n may_v be_v again_o resolve_v into_o their_o former_a principle_n the_o element_n whereof_o they_o be_v compound_v and_o out_o of_o which_o they_o arise_v yet_o this_o be_v no_o impeachment_n to_o the_o soul_n immortality_n for_o the_o comparison_n be_v unequal_a and_o the_o cause_v nothing_o like_o unless_o we_o shall_v say_v that_o all_o body_n must_v return_v into_o adam_n also_o whence_o they_o come_v as_o well_o as_o soul_n second_o mix_v body_n be_v not_o the_o simple_a element_n but_o compound_v of_o they_o where_o as_o our_o soul_n be_v of_o the_o same_o nature_n and_o no_o less_o simple_a than_o his_o be_v three_o if_o it_o be_v compound_v yea_o even_o of_o the_o element_n yet_o it_o will_v not_o present_o follow_v that_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v mortal_a because_o corruption_n and_o death_n come_v not_o only_o nor_o so_o much_o from_o propagation_n or_o composition_n as_o from_o divine_a malediction_n for_o death_n be_v the_o wage_n of_o sin_n without_o which_o even_o adam_n body_n shall_v have_v be_v immortal_a as_o well_o as_o his_o soul_n last_o to_o this_o objection_n i_o will_v oppose_v a_o infallible_a conclusion_n viz._n that_o nothing_o can_v return_v to_o nothing_o but_o by_o the_o same_o mean_n whereby_o it_o receive_v the_o first_o be_v and_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o all_o creature_n that_o be_v produce_v out_o of_o the_o element_n by_o the_o power_n of_o nature_n do_v by_o nature_n resolve_v into_o they_o again_o but_o because_o man_n soul_n can_v be_v propagate_v from_o their_o parent_n but_o by_o the_o immediate_a power_n of_o god_n concur_v hence_o it_o necessary_o follow_v that_o neither_o can_v they_o be_v again_o dissolve_v or_o annihilate_v but_o by_o the_o same_o omnipotent_a power_n this_o therefore_o do_v invincible_o prove_v so_o far_o be_v it_o from_o disprove_v prove_v the_o soul_n immortality_n soul_n 2_o obj._n that_o god_n still_o work_v in_o create_a soul_n for_o the_o second_o that_o god_n shall_v not_o yet_o rest_v from_o his_o labour_n but_o be_v still_o set_v a-work_o in_o the_o creation_n of_o soul_n i_o answer_v first_o here_o be_v no_o creation_n of_o any_o new_a kind_n of_o creature_n which_o they_o of_o the_o contrary_a part_n will_v have_v we_o to_o take_v for_o a_o sufficient_a answer_n second_o which_o be_v more_o here_o be_v no_o new_a substance_n create_v of_o nothing_o but_o only_o produce_v out_o of_o former_a matter_n three_o it_o nothing_o oppugnes_fw-la god_n rest_v to_o work_v immediate_o in_o some_o thing_n as_o by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o god_n elect_n 5.17_o joh._n 5.17_o in_o such_o

but_o now_o nature_n itself_o or_o as_o i_o may_v say_v the_o very_a nature_n or_o symmetry_n of_o nature_n be_v preserve_v by_o his_o own_o immediate_a power_n there_o be_v no_o nature_n above_o

more_o help_n from_o god_n than_o other_o creature_n his_o nature_n shall_v therein_o be_v still_o inferior_a to_o they_o i_o answer_v that_o no_o creature_n can_v propagate_v the_o like_a alone_o
