of_o solomon_n than_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 to_o god_n that_o give_v it_o thus_o god_n only_o know_v what_o become_v

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 say_v

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
