these_o point_n in_o the_o scripture_n and_o what_o be_v the_o harmony_n therein_o of_o the_o old_a and_o new_a testament_n and_o first_o because_o the_o word_n immortal_a soul_n be_v not_o find_v in_o the_o scripture_n the_o question_n be_v to_o be_v decide_v by_o evident_a consequence_n from_o the_o scripture_n the_o scripture_n say_v of_o god_n express_o 1_o tim._n 6.16_o that_o he_o only_o have_v immortality_n and_o dwell_v in_o inaccessible_a light_n hence_o it_o follow_v that_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n be_v not_o of_o its_o own_o nature_n immortal_a but_o by_o grace_n that_o be_v to_o

of_o the_o man_n or_o afterward_o by_o his_o redemption_n another_o question_n will_v be_v in_o what_o sense_n immortality_n of_o torment_n can_v be_v call_v a_o gift_n when_o all_o gift_n suppose_v the_o thing_n give_v to_o be_v grateful_a to_o the_o receiver_n to_o the_o first_o of_o these_o christ_n himself_o say_v luke_o 14.13_o 14._o when_o thou_o make_v a_o feast_n call_v the_o poor_a the_o
