the_o beast_n that_o perish_v the_o proof_n of_o the_o immortality_n of_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n belong_v to_o some_o of_o the_o follow_a discourse_n i_o shall_v not_o now_o launch_v out_o into_o that_o deep_a but_o to_o i_o this_o very_a consideration_n that_o the_o very_a excellence_n of_o the_o humane_a faculty_n especial_o that_o whereby_o he_o have_v a_o prospect_n and_o considerate_a

have_v be_v a_o strong_a moral_a evidence_n that_o there_o be_v a_o immortal_a soul_n in_o man_n for_o which_o a_o immortal_a good_a be_v reserve_v because_o it_o seem_v not_o suitable_a with_o

that_o be_v not_o always_o a_o end_n of_o fruition_n to_o the_o work_n itself_o it_o be_v sufficient_a that_o there_o be_v a_o end_n in_o the_o work_n many_o time_n a_o wise_a agent_n produce_v a_o
