that_o there_o be_v a_o passage_n of_o soul_n of_o one_o creature_n into_o another_o that_o this_o transmeation_n be_v of_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n into_o beast_n and_o of_o beast_n into_o man_n hence_o pythagoras_n aver_v himself_o to_o be_v euphorbus_n &_o empedocles_n in_o his_o verse_n affirm_v himself_o to_o be_v a_o fish_n this_o make_v it_o a_o abominable_a crime_n to_o eat_v flesh_n

because_o the_o soul_n be_v impure_a by_o the_o sin_n and_o corruption_n of_o the_o body_n therefore_o it_o be_v needful_a it_o shall_v be_v sublime_v from_o this_o corruption_n by_o such_o

that_o they_o may_v be_v fit_a to_o enter_v into_o the_o elysium_n or_o place_n of_o bliss_n last_o in_o confutation_n of_o this_o opinion_n for_o prohibition_n of_o eat_v of_o flesh_n from_o supposal_n of_o a_o metempsychosis_n we_o maintain_v that_o there_o be_v no_o such_o metempsychosis_n or_o transanimation_n of_o soul_n first_o the_o immortality_n of_o the_o soul_n we_o evince_v without_o this_o chimaera_n of_o the_o fancy_n by_o a_o argument_n draw_v from_o man_n dissolution_n this_o be_v the_o nature_n of_o all_o thing_n that_o be_v compound_v that_o they_o shall_v be_v resolve_v into_o that_o which_o they_o be_v at_o first_o before_o their_o conjunction_n man_n be_v compound_v of_o soul_n and_o body_n the_o very_a dissolution_n of_o these_o two_o in_o death_n

be_v manifest_a that_o the_o soul_n have_v it_o before_o ever_o it_o come_v to_o the_o body_n or_o else_o that_o which_o be_v dead_a can_v never_o have_v live_v by_o the_o mean_n of_o that_o which_o

next_o in_o confutation_n of_o their_o reason_n for_o this_o opinion_n we_o answer_v first_o that_o the_o soul_n be_v not_o cleanse_v by_o such_o transmeation_n from_o body_n to_o body_n but_o rather_o defile_v by_o that_o filthiness_n those_o body_n contract_n as_o water_n become_v defile_v by_o infusion_n into_o a_o unclean_a vessel_n much_o more_o since_o they_o affirm_v the_o soul_n

the_o soul_n shall_v be_v enjoin_v to_o such_o a_o satisfaction_n for_o sin_n as_o tend_v to_o its_o great_a defilement_n these_o reason_n therefore_o avail_v little_a to_o confirm_v the_o soul_n transmeation_n in_o the_o manner_n premise_v we_o in_o the_o last_o place_n shall_v prove_v this_o metempsychosis_n to_o be_v no_o other_o than_o a_o vain_a imagination_n by_o the_o reason_n follow_v 1._o then_o that_o the_o soul_n be_v not_o derive_v from_o one_o another_o per_fw-la traducem_fw-la by_o way_n of_o traduction_n appear_v by_o adam_n speech_n to_o eve_n gen._n 2_o 23._o this_o be_v

thus_o taunt_v he_o iâ—_n plato_n have_v trial_n that_o his_o soul_n be_v obtuse_v with_o such_o a_o draught_n i_o wonder_v that_o he_o can_v remember_v that_o his_o soul_n have_v lose_v her_o remembrance_n last_o if_o this_o be_v true_a it_o will_v follow_v that_o the_o soul_n of_o beast_n shall_v be_v immortal_a which_o will_v be_v absurd_a to_o think_v in_o these_o better_o know_v time_n
