A33370 A paradisical dialogue betwixt faith and reason disputing the high mysterious secrets of eternity, the like never extant in our revelation. As touching God in eternity, how he became time in flesh, and how he dyed in the grave, and ascended to his glory again. Also what the angels are in form and nature, and how the angel became a devil, and that devil man; and that this world was prepared for the devil, so this the devils kingdom; and what the soul is, with the place of its glory and torment. With a brief narration what a commission is, and how many commissions there are; what the difference of their worships, and how that the law was given to the devil; with a brief discourse on the catechism, the Lords Prayer, and the creeds; as also, a divine prospect to the elect of the Lord. Written by Law. Claxton, the onely true bishop and faithful messenger of Christ Jesus, creator of heaven and earth. Claxton, Laurence, 1615-1667. 1660 (1660) Wing C4581; ESTC R215220 88,691 122

by_o the_o man_n how_o the_o devil_n get_v into_o he_o nor_o how_o this_o devil_n or_o devil_n go_v out_o of_o he_o and_o get_v into_o the_o herd_n of_o swine_n nor_o what_o become_v of_o those_o

that_o can_v torment_v another_o neither_o can_v that_o devil_n if_o he_o be_v not_o generate_v in_o man_n either_o come_v in_o or_o go_v out_o of_o man_n but_o he_o must_v be_v see_v otherwise_o he_o

and_o distemper_v the_o mind_n of_o man_n and_o how_o do_v thou_o know_v that_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n leave_v or_o go_v out_o of_o the_o body_n at_o the_o hour_n of_o death_n chap._n 9_o show_v what_o the_o soul_n be_v and_o what_o it_o be_v that_o die_v how_o that_o the_o soul_n which_o be_v the_o life_n of_o the_o body_n can_v die_v and_o nothing_o else_o but_o life_n that_o die_v reason_n why_o i_o believe_v the_o soul_n can_v die_v because_o i_o conceive_v it_o a_o thing_n impossible_a the_o soul_n be_v a_o eternal_a spirit_n can_v be_v capable_a of_o death_n and_o beside_o solomon_n say_v then_o shall_v the_o dust_n return_n to_o the_o earth_n as_o it_o be_v and_o the_o spirit_n shall_v return_v unto_o god_n who_o give_v it_o so_o that_o it_o be_v my_o believe_v the_o soul_n can_v die_v faith_n though_o this_o principle_n be_v full_o clear_v in_o the_o prophet_n book_n call_v joyful_a news_n from_o heaven_n yet_o i_o shall_v reveal_v the_o truth_n of_o it_o upon_o another_o account_n that_o the_o soul_n be_v mortal_a so_o capable_a to_o die_v otherwise_o it_o can_v not_o live_v eternal_a for_o as_o nothing_o but_o life_n can_v die_v and_o that_o life_n be_v dead_a shall_v be_v make_v capable_a to_o live_v a_o life_n eternal_a reason_n before_o thou_o proceed_v any_o further_a let_v i_o but_o hear_v how_o that_o nothing_o but_o life_n can_v die_v which_o it_o be_v conceive_v by_o all_o know_a man_n that_o life_n which_o thou_o call_v the_o soul_n be_v immortal_a and_o can_v die_v now_o that_o natural_a life_n that_o run_v in_o the_o blood_n may_v die_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v confess_v when_o a_o man_n be_v murder_v or_o hang_v his_o breath_n be_v stifle_v and_o so_o the_o natural_a mortal_a die_v yet_o all_o this_o while_n as_o solomon_n say_v the_o soul_n go_v to_o god_n that_o give_v it_o faith_n have_v in_o our_o former_a writing_n make_v it_o appear_v that_o solomon_n be_v the_o high_a pitch_n of_o reason_n that_o ever_o be_v so_o what_o he_o speak_v be_v only_a knowledge_n in_o nature_n and_o not_o by_o the_o revelation_n of_o faith_n therefore_o no_o scripture_n for_o reason_n imagine_v thing_n that_o be_v not_o and_o thing_n that_o can_v be_v understand_v by_o any_o sober_a man_n much_o less_o by_o a_o man_n in_o revelation_n as_o to_o think_v that_o a_o immortal_a soul_n or_o spirit_n shall_v be_v limit_v to_o a_o mortal_a body_n which_o be_v as_o possible_a as_o light_v and_o darkness_n to_o dwell_v together_o as_o a_o immortal_a soul_n to_o live_v in_o a_o mortal_a body_n therefore_o i_o say_v that_o the_o soul_n and_o body_n of_o man_n be_v one_o distinct_a live_a and_o die_a essence_n for_o the_o soul_n or_o spirit_n in_o the_o womb_n by_o degree_n congeal_v together_o into_o a_o rational_a fire_n of_o blood_n and_o water_n and_o so_o in_o due_a time_n become_v a_o complete_a body_n of_o flesh_n blood_n and_o bone_n so_o that_o the_o life_n that_o be_v in_o man_n be_v not_o divine_a but_o natural_a only_o reason_n this_o be_v strange_a that_o the_o soul_n or_o spirit_n of_o a_o child_n shall_v conceive_v in_o the_o womb_n that_o be_v a_o breath_n or_o gift_n of_o god_n and_o not_o generate_v in_o or_o by_o the_o seed_n for_o i_o read_v that_o god_n breathe_v into_o adam_n and_o he_o become_v a_o live_a soul_n so_o his_o soul_n be_v not_o immortal_a but_o mortal_a and_o so_o be_v all_o mankind_n faith_n however_o it_o be_v strange_a to_o thou_o yet_o i_o know_v it_o be_v a_o real_a truth_n to_o i_o that_o the_o word_n by_o which_o god_n first_o create_v life_n in_o man_n that_o word_n or_o breath_n be_v immortal_a which_o by_o his_o fall_n become_v mortal_a as_o at_o large_a be_v clear_v in_o the_o seven_o chapter_n and_o this_o know_v god_n never_o create_v but_o

that_o the_o rational_a soul_n or_o spirit_n of_o man_n lie_v secret_o hide_v in_o his_o seed_n like_v unto_o a_o spark_n of_o fire_n which_o spark_n do_v quicken_v itself_o into_o a_o live_a form_n like_v unto_o his_o nature_n and_o so_o have_v clothe_v itself_o with_o flesh_n his_o soul_n or_o spirit_n run_v invisible_o through_o the_o whole_a body_n and_o so_o be_v one_o entire_a substance_n be_v both_o conceive_v into_o life_n in_o the_o womb_n togegether_o and_o both_o live_n together_o upon_o the_o earth_n their_o appoint_a time_n and_o be_v both_o pollute_a together_o with_o sin_n
