a_o most_o gross_a opinion_n and_o direct_o contradictory_n to_o the_o text_n in_o hand_n and_o to_o many_o other_o place_n of_o scripture_n which_o by_o no_o art_n or_o subtlety_n can_v be_v elude_v he_o will_v evade_v this_o text_n that_o we_o have_v in_o hand_n by_o say_v that_o it_o import_v no_o more_o than_o what_o be_v say_v psal_n 104.29_o thou_o take_v away_o their_o breath_n they_o die_v and_o return_v to_o their_o dust_n but_o these_o place_n be_v not_o so_o parallel_v as_o he_o suppose_v for_o the_o take_n away_o of_o the_o breath_n which_o the_o psalmist_n speak_v of_o be_v a_o cause_n of_o death_n and_o therefore_o at_o least_o in_o order_n of_o nature_n before_o death_n for_o so_o the_o cause_n be_v ever_o before_o the_o effect_n because_o god_n take_v away_o from_o his_o creature_n their_o breath_n therefore_o they_o die_v but_o here_o the_o spirit_n go_v to_o god_n be_v a_o consequent_a of_o death_n first_o a_o man_n die_v and_o then_o as_o his_o body_n go_v to_o the_o earth_n so_o his_o soul_n go_v to_o god_n this_o clear_o argue_v a_o subsist_v of_o the_o soul_n when_o a_o man_n be_v dead_a and_o that_o the_o soul_n do_v not_o die_v together_o with_o the_o body_n test_n 2_o so_o elsewhere_o in_o the_o scripture_n the_o spirit_n of_o god_n be_v plain_a and_o plentiful_a in_o assert_v the_o soul_n immortality_n this_o day_n say_v christ_n to_o the_o repent_v and_o believe_a malefactor_n shall_v thou_o be_v with_o i_o in_o paradise_n how_o shall_v he_o be_v that_o day_n with_o christ_n in_o paradise_n not_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o body_n for_o so_o christ_n himself_o be_v not_o that_o day_n in_o paradise_n but_o in_o the_o grave_n and_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o body_n the_o impenitent_a thief_n be_v as_o much_o in_o paradise_n as_o he_o to_o who_o christ_n make_v this_o promise_n therefore_o it_o be_v in_o respect_n of_o the_o soul_n that_o he_o shall_v be_v that_o day_n in_o paradise_n and_o consequent_o the_o soul_n die_v not_o with_o the_o body_n but_o subsist_v separate_v from_o the_o body_n the_o answer_n which_o the_o adversary_n give_v to_o this_o place_n be_v to_o this_o effect_n for_o it_o be_v somewhat_o intricate_a that_o therefore_o christ_n tell_v the_o penitent_a thief_n that_o he_o shall_v that_o day_n be_v with_o he_o in_o paradise_n though_o it_o shall_v not_o be_v until_o the_o resurrection_n for_o he_o grant_v that_o the_o body_n shall_v rise_v again_o and_o then_o the_o soul_n shall_v be_v reunite_v to_o it_o but_o will_v have_v neither_o soul_n nor_o body_n to_o live_v until_o the_o resurrection_n because_o there_o be_v but_o as_o it_o be_v a_o moment_n betwixt_o death_n and_o the_o resurrection_n for_o that_o while_o a_o man_n be_v dead_a be_v it_o never_o so_o long_o he_o perceive_v no_o continuance_n of_o time_n be_v altogether_o without_o sense_n and_o feeling_n but_o what_o if_o a_o man_n be_v not_o sensible_a of_o time_n be_v there_o therefore_o none_o for_o that_o the_o 7_o

although_o the_o epicure_n and_o atheist_n that_o live_v like_o a_o beast_n think_v that_o he_o shall_v also_o die_v like_o a_o beast_n that_o there_o be_v no_o difference_n at_o all_o betwixt_o the_o
