A35987	Two treatises in the one of which the nature of bodies, in the other, the nature of mans soule is looked into in way of discovery of the immortality of reasonable soules.	Digby, Kenelm, Sir, 1603-1665.	1644 (1644)	Wing D1448; ESTC R9240	548,974	508

to_o require_v body_n and_o instrument_n in_o the_o next_o life_n that_o the_o soul_n may_v there_o be_v that_o which_o they_o acnowledge_v she_o be_v in_o her_o body_n without_o any_o such_o help_n and_o as_o for_o that_o axiom_n or_o experience_n that_o the_o soul_n do_v not_o understand_v unless_o she_o speculate_v phantasm_n as_o on_o the_o one_o side_n i_o yield_v to_o it_o and_o confess_v the_o experience_n after_o the_o best_a and_o serious_a trial_n i_o can_v make_v of_o it_o so_o on_o the_o other_o side_n when_o i_o examine_v the_o matter_n to_o the_o bottom_n i_o find_v that_o it_o come_v not_o home_n to_o our_o adversary_n intention_n for_o as_o when_o we_o look_v upon_o a_o thing_n we_o conceive_v we_o work_v upon_o that_o thing_n whereas_o in_o truth_n we_o do_v but_o set_v ourselves_o in_o such_o a_o position_n that_o the_o thing_n see_v may_v work_v upon_o we_o in_o like_a manner_n our_o look_v upon_o the_o phantasm_n in_o our_o brain_n be_v not_o our_o soul_n action_n upon_o they_o but_o it_o be_v our_o let_v they_o beat_v at_o our_o common_a sense_n that_o be_v our_o let_v they_o work_v upon_o our_o soul_n the_o effect_n whereof_o be_v that_o either_o oursoule_n be_v better_v in_o herself_o as_o when_o we_o study_v and_o contemplate_v or_o else_o that_o she_o better_v something_o without_o we_o as_o when_o by_o this_o think_n we_o order_v any_o action_n but_o if_o they_o will_v have_v this_o axiom_n avayle_v they_o they_o shall_v show_v that_o the_o soul_n be_v not_o of_o herself_o a_o knowledge_n which_o if_o they_o be_v able_a to_o do_v even_o then_o when_o to_o our_o think_n she_o seem_v not_o so_o much_o as_o to_o think_v we_o will_v yield_v they_o have_v reason_n but_o that_o will_v be_v impossible_a to_o they_o to_o do_v for_o she_o be_v always_o of_o herself_o a_o knowledge_n though_o in_o the_o body_n shrieve_n express_v so_o much_o but_o when_o she_o be_v put_v to_o it_o or_o else_o they_o shall_v sh●w_v that_o this_o knowledge_n which_o the_o soul_n be_v of_o herself_o will_v not_o by_o change_v the_o manner_n of_o her_o existence_n become_v a_o actual_a knowledge_n instead_o of_o the_o habitual_a knowledge_n which_o now_o appear_v in_o she_o but_o as_o these_o aristotelian_o embrace_n and_o stick_v to_o one_o axiom_n of_o their_o patron_n aristotle_n so_o they_o forgo_v and_o prevaricate_v against_o a_o other_o for_o as_o it_o be_v aristotle_n doctrine_n that_o a_o substance_n be_v for_o its_o operation_n and_o be_v in_o vain_a and_o superfluous_a if_o it_o can_v not_o practice_v it_o so_o likewise_o be_v it_o his_o confess_a doctrine_n that_o matter_n be_v for_o its_o form_n and_o not_o the_o form_n for_o the_o 〈◊〉_d and_o yet_o these_o man_n pretend_v that_o the_o soul_n serve_v for_o nothing_o 〈…〉_z govern_n of_o the_o body_n whereas_o contrawise_o both_o all_o 〈…〉_z doctrine_n and_o common_a sense_n convince_v that_o the_o body_n must_v 〈…〉_z soul_n which_o if_o it_o be_v nothing_o can_v be_v more_o consentaneous_a to_o 〈◊〉_d then_o to_o conceive_v that_o the_o durance_n which_o the_o soul_n have_v in_o the_o 〈…〉_z assign_a she_o to_o work_v and_o mould_n in_o her_o the_o future_a state_n which_o 〈…〉_z have_v after_o this_o life_n and_o that_o no_o more_o operation_n be_v to_o be_v expect_v from_o she_o after_o this_o life_n but_o instead_o of_o they_o a_o settle_a state_n of_o be_v see_v that_o even_o in_o this_o life_n according_a to_o aristotle_n doctrine_n the_o proper_a operation_n of_o the_o soul_n be_v but_o certain_a being_n so_o that_o we_o may_v conclude_v 〈◊〉_d a_o soul_n be_v grow_v to_o the_o perfection_n which_o her_o nature_n be_v capable_a of_o the_o will_v be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o constant_a be_v never_o change_v from_o the_o happiness_n of_o the_o best_a be_v and_o although_o the_o text_n of_o aristotle_n which_o remain_v unto_o we_o be_v uncertain_a peradventure_o not_o so_o much_o because_o they_o be_v original_o such_o in_o themselves_o as_o through_o the_o mingle_n of_o some_o comment_n into_o the_o body_n of_o the_o text_n yet_o if_o we_o have_v his_o book_n which_o he_o write_v of_o the_o soul_n upon_o the_o death_n of_o his_o friend_n eudemus_n it_o be_v very_o likely_a we_o shall_v there_o see_v his_o evident_a assertion_n of_o her_o immortality_n since_o it_o have_v be_v very_o impertinent_a to_o take_v occasion_n upon_o a_o friend_n death_n to_o write_v of_o the_o soul_n if_o he_o intend_v to_o conclude_v that_o of_o a_o dead_a man_n there_o be_v no_o soul_n out_o of_o this_o discourse_n it_o appear_v body_n how_o those_o action_n which_o we_o exercise_v in_o this_o life_n be_v to_o be_v understand_v when_o we_o hear_v they_o attribute_v to_o the_o next_o for_o to_o think_v that_o they_o be_v to_o be_v take_v in_o their_o direct_a plain_a meaning_n and_o in_o that_o way_n in_o which_o they_o be_v perform_v in_o this_o world_n be_v a_o great_a simplicity_n and_o be_v to_o imagine_v a_o likeness_n between_o body_n and_o spirit_n we_o must_v therefore_o elevate_v our_o mind_n when_o we_o will_v penetrate_v into_o the_o true_a meaning_n of_o such_o expression_n and_o consider_v how_o all_o the_o action_n of_o our_o soul_n be_v eminent_o comprehend_v in_o the_o universality_n of_o knowledge_n we_o have_v already_o explicate_v and_o so_o the_o apprehension_n judgement_n discourse_n reflection_n talk_n together_o and_o all_o other_o such_o action_n of_o we_o when_o they_o be_v attribute_v to_o separate_a soul_n be_v but_o inadaequate_a name_n and_o representation_n of_o their_o instantaneall_a sight_n of_o all_o thing_n for_o in_o that_o they_o can_v not_o choose_v but_o see_v other_o mind_n which_o be_v that_o we_o call_v talk_v and_o likewise_o their_o own_o which_o we_o call_v reflection_n the_o rest_n be_v plain_a part_n and_o be_v plain_o contain_v in_o knowledge_n discourse_n be_v but_o the_o fall_n into_o it_o judgement_n the_o principle_n of_o it_o and_o single_a apprehension_n the_o component_n of_o judgement_n then_o for_o such_o action_n as_o be_v the_o beginning_n of_o operation_n there_o can_v be_v no_o doubt_n but_o that_o they_o be_v likewise_o to_o be_v find_v and_o be_v resume_v in_o the_o same_o universality_n as_o love_n of_o good_a consultation_n resolution_n prudentiall_a election_n and_o the_o first_o motion_n for_o who_o know_v all_o thing_n can_v not_o choose_v but_o know_v what_o be_v good_a and_o that_o good_a be_v to_o be_v prosecute_v and_o who_o see_v complete_o all_o the_o mean_n of_o effect_v and_o attain_v to_o his_o intend_a good_a have_v already_o consult_v and_o resolve_v of_o the_o best_a and_o who_o understand_v perfect_o the_o matter_n he_o be_v to_o work_v upon_o have_v already_o make_v his_o prudentiall_a election_n so_o that_o there_o remain_v nothing_o more_o to_o be_v do_v but_o to_o give_v the_o first_o impulse_n and_o thus_o you_o see_v that_o this_o universality_n of_o knowledge_n in_o the_o soul_n comprehend_v all_o immortal_a be_v all_o perform_v all_o and_o no_o imaginable_a good_a or_o happiness_n be_v out_o of_o her_o reach_n a_o noble_a creature_n and_o not_o to_o be_v cast_v away_o upon_o such_o trash_n as_o most_o man_n employ_v their_o thought_n in_o upon_o who_o it_o be_v now_o time_n to_o reflect_v and_o to_o consider_v what_o effect_n the_o diverse_a manner_n of_o live_v in_o this_o world_n do_v work_n upon_o she_o in_o the_o next_o if_o first_o we_o acquitt_fw-mi ourselves_o of_o a_o promise_n we_o make_v at_o the_o end_n of_o the_o last_o chapter_n for_o it_o be_v now_o ample_o declare_v that_o the_o state_n of_o a_o soul_n exempt_v from_o her_o body_n be_v a_o state_n of_o pure_a be_v it_o follow_v manifest_o that_o there_o be_v neither_o action_n nor_o passion_n in_o that_o state_n which_o be_v so_o it_o be_v beyond_o all_o opposition_n that_o the_o soul_n can_v not_o die_v for_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o all_o corruption_n must_v come_v from_o the_o action_n of_o a_o other_o thing_n upon_o that_o which_o be_v corrupt_v and_o therefore_o that_o thing_n must_v be_v capable_a of_o be_v make_v better_a and_o of_o be_v make_v worse_a now_o then_o if_o a_o separate_a soul_n be_v in_o a_o final_a state_n where_o she_o can_v neither_o be_v better_v or_o worsen_v as_o she_o must_v be_v if_o she_o be_v such_o a_o thing_n as_o we_o have_v declare_v it_o follow_v that_o she_o can_v not_o possible_o loose_v the_o be_v which_o she_o have_v and_o since_o her_o passage_n out_o of_o the_o body_n do_v not_o change_v her_o nature_n but_o only_o her_o state_n it_o be_v clear_a that_o she_o be_v of_o the_o same_o nature_n even_o in_o the_o body_n though_o in_o this_o her_o durance_n she_o be_v subject_a to_o be_v forge_v as_o it_o be_v
