depart_v out_o of_o those_o thick_a part_n of_o the_o body_n which_o it_o leave_v as_o so_o many_o cadaverous_a body_n which_o be_v no_o long_o fit_a to_o serve_v the_o say_a spirit_n in_o those_o operation_n which_o they_o exercise_v in_o their_o present_a state_n and_o we_o may_v observe_v this_o departure_n of_o the_o subtle_a and_o strong_a spirit_n out_o of_o the_o hard_a and_o grosser_n part_n of_o the_o body_n into_o the_o more_o soft_a and_o tenuious_a in_o a_o certain_a spirituous_a liquor_n which_o be_v congeal_v with_o great_a cold_a where_o the_o strong_a spirit_n forsake_v

the_o augment_a force_n of_o all_o those_o part_n which_o be_v congeal_v so_o that_o here_o be_v a_o two_o fold_v grossness_n and_o hardness_n of_o body_n the_o one_o palpable_a and_o visible_a to_o

which_o be_v proper_a to_o those_o body_n which_o be_v so_o small_a that_o our_o external_n sense_n can_v perceive_v they_o when_o nevertheless_o they_o be_v real_o exceed_v hard_a yea_o hard_a than_o any_o flint_n or_o metal_n which_o we_o can_v handle_v with_o our_o hand_n and_o out_o of_o these_o hard_a and_o small_a body_n visible_a water_n be_v for_o the_o most_o part_n compose_v although_o they_o appear_v to_o we_o very_o soft_a fluid_a and_o tenuious_a by_o reason_n of_o the_o great_a plenty_n of_o certain_a other_o subtle_a body_n which_o continual_o agitate_v and_o move_v the_o say_v hard_a particle_n so_o that_o water_n seem_v to_o our_o gross_a sense_n to_o be_v one_o thing_n homogeneal_a simple_a and_o uniform_a although_o it_o consist_v of_o many_o heterogeneous_a and_o

other_o little_a sand_n and_o stone_n which_o have_v their_o original_a and_o birth_n from_o the_o water_n spring_v from_o the_o bottom_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o when_o those_o little_a stone_n or_o stony_a particle_n of_o water_n grow_v into_o visible_a sand_n and_o stone_n the_o same_o after_o some_o time_n do_v again_o lose_v this_o hardness_n and_o become_v more_o soft_a and_o tenuious_a than_o when_o they_o belong_v to_o the_o water_n for_o stone_n do_v rot_v and_o be_v convert_v into_o soft_a earth_n and_o out_o of_o this_o proceed_v animal_n so_o also_o stone_n putrify_v do_v

and_o so_o from_o what_o have_v be_v say_v may_v the_o better_o be_v understand_v how_o the_o heart_n and_o spirit_n of_o a_o wicked_a man_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v hard_a and_o stony_a because_o indeed_o his_o spirit_n have_v in_o it_o a_o real_a hardness_n such_o as_o be_v find_v in_o those_o little_a stony_a particle_n of_o certain_a water_n when_o on_o the_o contrary_a the_o spirit_n of_o good_a man_n be_v soft_a and_o tender_a which_o internal_a softness_n and_o hardness_n of_o spirit_n we_o may_v also_o real_o feel_v and_o every_o good_a man_n do_v as_o sensible_o perceive_v the_o

hardness_n or_o softness_n of_o good_a or_o evil_a spirit_n and_o therefore_o they_o call_v these_o only_a metaphorical_a speech_n when_o indeed_o the_o thing_n be_v real_o so_o in_o a_o proper_a sense_n and_o that_o without_o any_o figure_n §_o 2._o the_o second_o reason_n that_o create_v spirit_n be_v convertible_a into_o body_n and_o body_n into_o spirit_n i_o shall_v deduce_v from_o a_o serious_a and_o due_a consideration_n of_o the_o divine_a attribute_n from_o which_o as_o from_o a_o treasury_n of_o instruction_n may_v be_v manifest_v the_o truth_n of_o all_o thing_n for_o see_v god_n be_v infinite_o good_a and_o communicate_v his_o goodness_n infinite_a way_n to_o his_o creature_n so_o that_o there_o be_v no_o creature_n which_o do_v not_o receive_v something_o of_o his_o goodness_n and_o that_o very_o large_o and_o see_v the_o goodness_n of_o god_n be_v a_o live_a goodness_n which_o have_v life_n power_n love_n and_o knowledge_n in_o it_o which_o he_o communicate_v to_o his_o creature_n how_o can_v it_o be_v that_o any_o dead_a thing_n shall_v proceed_v from_o he_o or_o be_v create_v by_o he_o such_o as_o be_v mere_a body_n or_o matter_n according_a to_o their_o hypothesis_n who_o affirm_v that_o the_o same_o be_v whole_o inconvertible_a to_o any_o degree_n of_o life_n or_o knowledge_n it_o be_v true_o say_v of_o one_o that_o god_n make_v not_o death_n and_o it_o be_v as_o true_a that_o he_o make_v no_o dead_a thing_n for_o how_o can_v a_o dead_a thing_n depend_v of_o he_o who_o be_v infinite_o life_n and_o charity_n or_o how_o can_v any_o creature_n receive_v so_o vile_a and_o diminutive_a a_o essence_n from_o he_o who_o be_v so_o infinite_o liberal_a and_o good_a that_o shall_v partake_v nothing_o of_o life_n or_o knowledge_n nor_o ever_o be_v able_a to_o aspire_v to_o it_o no_o not_o in_o the_o least_o degree_n have_v not_o god_n create_v all_o his_o creature_n for_o this_o end_n that_o in_o he_o they_o may_v be_v bless_v and_o enjoy_v his_o divine_a goodness_n in_o their_o several_a state_n and_o condition_n but_o how_o can_v this_o be_v without_o life_n or_o sense_n or_o how_o can_v any_o thing_n that_o want_v life_n enjoy_v divine_a goodness_n but_o we_o shall_v urge_v this_o argument_n a_o little_a far_o the_o divine_a attribute_n be_v common_o and_o right_o distinguish_v into_o communicable_a and_o incommunicable_a the_o incommunicable_a be_v that_o god_n be_v a_o be_v subsist_v by_o himself_o independent_a unchangeable_a absolute_o infinite_a and_o most_o perfect_a the_o communicable_a be_v that_o he_o be_v a_o spirit_n life_n and_o light_n that_o he_o be_v good_a holy_a just_a wise_a etc._n etc._n but_o now_o there_o be_v none_o of_o these_o communicable_a attribute_n which_o be_v not_o live_v yea_o life_n itself_o and_o because_o every_o creature_n have_v a_o communication_n with_o god_n in_o some_o of_o his_o attribute_n now_o i_o demand_v in_o what_o attribute_n dead_a matter_n have_v it_o or_o a_o body_n that_o be_v uncapable_a of_o life_n and_o sense_n for_o ever_o if_o it_o be_v say_v it_o agree_v with_o god_n in_o entity_n or_o that_o it_o be_v a_o essence_n i_o answer_v in_o god_n there_o be_v no_o dead_a be_v whereof_o he_o be_v or_o can_v be_v partaker_n whence_o therefore_o shall_v this_o have_v its_o dead_a essence_n moreover_o the_o entity_n or_o be_v of_o a_o thing_n be_v not_o

perfection_n can_v be_v attribute_v to_o dead_a matter_n which_o do_v analogical_o answer_v to_o those_o which_o be_v in_o god_n if_o we_o diligent_o inquire_v thereinto_o we_o

in_o hungary_n where_o if_o barley_n be_v sow_v wheat_n spring_v up_o instead_o thereof_o but_o in_o other_o place_n more_o barren_a and_o especial_o in_o rocky_a place_n such_o as_o be_v find_v in_o

of_o earth_n and_o water_n produce_v animal_n without_o any_o previous_a seed_n of_o those_o animal_n and_o in_o the_o creation_n of_o this_o world_n do_v not_o the_o water_n at_o the_o command_n of_o

earth_n bring_v forth_o live_v soul_n as_o the_o hebrew_n text_n speak_v but_o not_o mere_a corporeal_a figure_n want_v life_n and_o soul_n wherefore_o there_o be_v a_o very_a remarkable_a difference_n between_o humane_a creature_n and_o brute_n of_o man_n it_o be_v say_v god_n make_v he_o after_o his_o own_o image_n and_o breathe_v into_o he_o the_o breath_n of_o life_n and_o he_o become_v a_o live_a soul_n so_o that_o from_o hence_o man_n receive_v his_o life_n that_o principal_a part_n of_o he_o by_o which_o he_o be_v become_v a_o man_n which_o be_v real_o distinct_a from_o

these_o spirit_n be_v of_o a_o far_o inferior_a species_n in_o regard_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o man_n which_o he_o receive_v from_o above_o and_o not_o from_o the_o earth_n and_o the_o spirit_n of_o man_n ought_v to_o have_v dominion_n over_o these_o spirit_n which_o be_v all_o but_o earthly_a so_o as_o to_o subdue_v they_o to_o himself_o and_o exalt_v they_o to_o a_o high_a degree_n viz._n into_o his_o own_o proper_a nature_n and_o that_o will_v have_v be_v his_o true_a increase_n and_o multiplication_n for_o all_o this_o he_o suffer_v the_o earthly_a spirit_n exist_v within_o he_o to_o

and_o that_o there_o be_v a_o certain_a justice_n which_o operate_v not_o only_o in_o man_n and_o angel_n but_o in_o all_o creature_n be_v most_o certain_a and_o he_o that_o do_v not_o observe_v the_o
