capacity_n of_o our_o soul_n to_o survive_v our_o body_n and_o enjoy_v future_a reward_n and_o suffer_v future_a punishment_n it_o also_o follow_v that_o there_o be_v a_o future_a state_n of_o reward_n and_o punishment_n for_o we_o find_v in_o our_o soul_n a_o certain_a innate_a force_n and_o power_n whereby_o they_o determine_v themselves_o which_o way_n they_o please_v in_o their_o motion_n and_o operation_n whereby_o they_o be_v exempt_a from_o the_o necessitating_a influence_n of_o any_o thing_n that_o be_v foreign_a to_o they_o and_o this_o innate_a liberty_n or_o power_n of_o self-determination_n be_v necessary_o suppose_v in_o the_o management_n of_o all_o humane_a affair_n in_o commerce_n and_o treaty_n in_o government_n and_o law_n and_o administration_n of_o justice_n in_o council_n admonition_n reproof_n and_o persuasion_n in_o all_o which_o application_n be_v make_v to_o our_o soul_n as_o to_o free_a and_o self-determining_a agent_n that_o have_v the_o absolute_a disposal_n of_o their_o own_o motion_n and_o can_v direct_v they_o which_o way_n they_o please_v and_o indeed_o be_v not_o our_o soul_n leave_v to_o their_o own_o free_a disposal_n but_o conclude_v by_o the_o law_n of_o a_o fatal_a necessity_n as_o we_o see_v all_o material_a agent_n be_v such_o application_n to_o they_o as_o these_o will_v be_v very_o absurd_a and_o ridiculous_a and_o we_o may_v as_o reasonable_o hope_v to_o tame_v wolf_n and_o tiger_n by_o read_v ethic_n to_o they_o or_o to_o still_o the_o northwind_n by_o send_v ambassador_n to_o he_o to_o propose_v article_n of_o peace_n as_o to_o prevail_v upon_o man_n mind_n by_o moral_a address_n and_o persuasion_n because_o if_o they_o be_v not_o master_n of_o their_o own_o choice_n whatsoever_o the_o rigid_a law_n of_o necessity_n determine_v they_o to_o they_o must_v necessary_o choose_v in_o despite_n of_o all_o persuasion_n to_o the_o contrary_n now_o by_o this_o self-determining_a power_n our_o soul_n do_v evident_o manifest_v themselves_o to_o be_v immaterial_a substance_n and_o consequent_o not_o liable_a to_o death_n and_o corruption_n for_o if_o they_o be_v matter_n they_o will_v be_v move_v like_o matter_n i._n e._n by_o the_o pressure_n or_o thrust_v of_o other_o matter_n upon_o they_o and_o it_o will_v be_v no_o more_o in_o their_o power_n to_o move_v any_o other_o way_n than_o that_o which_o some_o other_o matter_n press_v and_o impel_v they_o than_o it_o be_v for_o a_o stone_n not_o to_o move_v upward_o when_o it_o be_v impele_v by_o the_o force_n which_o your_o arm_n impress_n on_o it_o and_o not_o to_o move_v down_o again_o when_o that_o force_n be_v spend_v and_o it_o be_v press_v back_o by_o its_o own_o weight_n and_o gravity_n whereas_o we_o feel_v in_o our_o soul_n a_o innate_a power_n to_o determine_v itself_o which_o way_n it_o please_v and_o even_o to_o move_v quite_o contrary_a to_o all_o foreign_a impression_n for_o when_o it_o be_v press_v on_o by_o outward_a object_n to_o such_o and_o such_o thought_n and_o purpose_n with_o all_o imaginable_a vigour_n it_o often_o stem_n the_o impetuous_a tide_n and_o think_v and_o purpose_v the_o quite_o contrary_a how_o then_o can_v that_o be_v matter_n which_o be_v not_o determine_v in_o its_o motion_n by_o matter_n but_o when_o it_o please_v can_n either_o move_v counter_a to_o all_o material_a impression_n or_o of_o two_o material_a impression_n can_v move_v counter_a to_o the_o strong_a that_o our_o soul_n therefore_o be_v immaterial_a be_v just_a as_o evident_a as_o that_o they_o have_v liberty_n of_o will_n and_o that_o they_o have_v liberty_n of_o will_n need_v no_o other_o proof_n than_o the_o common_a sense_n and_o feel_n of_o mankind_n and_o whatsoever_o essence_n feel_v this_o freedom_n within_o itself_o whereby_o it_o be_v absolve_v from_o the_o rigid_a law_n of_o matter_n may_v with_o all_o the_o reason_n in_o the_o world_n conclude_v itself_o immaterial_a and_o if_o our_o soul_n be_v immaterial_a substance_n to_o be_v sure_a they_o can_v natural_o subsist_v and_o live_v without_o these_o body_n and_o must_v necessary_o do_v so_o unless_o god_n destroy_v they_o as_o have_v no_o contrary_a quality_n or_o divisible_a part_n no_o principle_n of_o death_n or_o corruption_n in_o they_o and_o since_o god_n have_v make_v our_o soul_n of_o a_o immaterial_a and_o immortal_a nature_n we_o have_v all_o the_o reason_n in_o the_o world_n to_o conclude_v that_o he_o will_v not_o unravel_v his_o own_o workmanship_n but_o permit_v it_o to_o survive_v its_o body_n and_o enjoy_v or_o endure_v that_o happy_a ot_fw-mi miserable_a fate_n which_o itself_o have_v choose_v and_o make_v iv._o from_o the_o natural_a expectance_n we_o have_v of_o future_a reward_n and_o dread_a of_o future_a punishment_n it_o be_v also_o evident_a that_o there_o be_v a_o state_n of_o future_a reward_n and_o punishment_n thus_o after_o the_o commission_n of_o any_o flagitious_a wickedness_n there_o natural_o arise_v ill-abodings_a in_o man_n mind_n of_o a_o dire_a after-reckoning_n and_o though_o the_o commission_n be_v secret_a and_o conceal_v from_o all_o humane_a cognizance_n so_o that_o there_o be_v no_o reason_n to_o dread_v the_o correction_n of_o public_a justice_n for_o it_o yet_o when_o ever_o the_o man_n reflect_v on_o it_o it_o fill_v his_o mind_n with_o horrible_a presage_n of_o a_o woeful_a futurity_n as_o on_o the_o contrary_a when_o ever_o a_o man_n do_v any_o great_a good_a or_o conquer_v any_o violent_a temptation_n to_o evil_n it_o lift_v up_o his_o soul_n into_o a_o bless_a expectation_n and_o swell_v his_o hope_n with_o the_o promise_n of_o a_o future_a reward_n and_o though_o the_o good_a he_o have_v do_v or_o the_o evil_n he_o have_v avoid_v give_v he_o no_o kind_n of_o prospect_n of_o any_o present_a advantage_n yet_o his_o mind_n be_v soothe_v and_o ravish_v with_o the_o contemplation_n of_o it_o which_o natural_o suggest_v to_o he_o the_o joyous_a hope_n of_o a_o recompense_n to_o come_v for_o whence_o shall_v this_o hope_n and_o dread_a spring_n up_o in_o man_n mind_n upon_o the_o commission_n of_o good_a and_o bad_a action_n but_o from_o some_o common_a impression_n upon_o humane_a nature_n intimate_v to_o we_o a_o future_a state_n of_o reward_n and_o punishment_n if_o you_o say_v it_o be_v from_o those_o religious_a principle_n which_o we_o imbibe_n in_o our_o education_n i_o will_v fain_o know_v how_o come_v this_o principle_n concern_v the_o future_a state_n to_o be_v so_o universal_o imbibe_v if_o there_o be_v not_o something_o in_o it_o that_o be_v very_o agreeable_a with_o the_o reason_n of_o all_o mankind_n for_o whatever_o be_v the_o matter_n we_o see_v it_o be_v very_o easy_o

natural_a taste_n and_o relish_v of_o our_o understanding_n we_o know_v there_o have_v be_v great_a wit_n and_o philosopher_n that_o have_v take_v as_o much_o pain_n to_o raze_v the_o belief_n of_o a_o future_a state_n out_o of_o man_n mind_n as_o ever_o any_o other_o do_v to_o imprint_v it_o there_o and_o yet_o though_o their_o doctrine_n have_v be_v always_o high_o befriend_v by_o man_n wicked_a lust_n and_o affection_n to_o which_o the_o belief_n of_o a_o future_a state_n be_v the_o most_o terrible_a and_o vexatious_a thing_n in_o the_o world_n yet_o with_o all_o their_o wit_n and_o sophistry_n they_o have_v never_o be_v able_a to_o root_v it_o out_o of_o man_n mind_n if_o then_o our_o hope_n and_o fear_n of_o another_o world_n be_v mere_o owe_v to_o our_o teach_v and_o
