each_o other_o and_o say_v that_o we_o have_v as_o clear_v a_o notion_n of_o a_o spirit_n as_o we_o have_v of_o a_o body_n against_o this_o i_o urge_v that_o if_o it_o be_v possible_a for_o matter_n to_o think_v which_o you_o assert_v then_o from_o the_o idea_n of_o think_v we_o can_v prove_v the_o certainty_n of_o a_o spiritual_a substance_n within_o we_o where_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o a_o spiritual_a substance_n be_v oppose_v to_o the_o power_n of_o matter_n it_o be_v not_o whether_o matter_n so_o modify_v can_v think_v but_o whether_o matter_n can_v think_v and_o let_v it_o be_v modify_v how_o it_o will_v matter_n be_v matter_n still_o but_o the_o power_n of_o think_v make_v it_o a_o spirit_n say_v you_o but_o do_v it_o cease_v to_o be_v matter_n or_o not_o if_o not_o than_o it_o be_v matter_n still_o endue_v with_o a_o power_n of_o think_v and_o so_o our_o idea_n can_v be_v no_o other_o than_o of_o a_o material_a think_v substance_n but_o you_o say_v further_o that_o the_o power_n of_o think_v make_v it_o a_o spirit_n without_o consider_v what_o other_o modification_n it_o have_v whether_o it_o have_v the_o modification_n of_o solidity_n or_o not_o that_o be_v although_o it_o be_v real_o a_o material_a substance_n yet_o the_o modification_n of_o think_v make_v it_o a_o spiritual_a substance_n for_o we_o be_v to_o go_v no_o far_o than_o that_o modification_n of_o think_v and_o from_o thence_o we_o be_v to_o conclude_v it_o to_o be_v a_o spiritual_a substance_n but_o we_o be_v now_o inquire_v not_o into_o the_o bare_a modification_n of_o think_v but_o whether_o from_o thence_o we_o can_v prove_v a_o immaterial_a substance_n within_o we_o or_o which_o be_v all_o one_o a_o spiritual_a substance_n as_o oppose_v to_o corporeal_a which_o be_v your_o own_o distinction_n and_o that_o i_o may_v not_o be_v think_v to_o do_v you_o injury_n i_o shall_v produce_v your_o own_o word_n by_o the_o simple_a idea_n we_o have_v take_v from_o our_o own_o mind_n we_o be_v able_a to_o frame_v the_o complex_fw-la idea_n of_o a_o spirit_n 15._o and_o thus_o by_o put_v together_o the_o idea_n of_o think_v perceive_v liberty_n and_o power_n of_o move_v themselves_o we_o have_v as_o clear_v a_o perception_n and_o notion_n of_o immaterial_a substance_n as_o well_o as_o material_a so_o that_o here_o we_o have_v two_o thing_n clear_a 1._o that_o a_o spirit_n and_o immaterial_a substance_n be_v the_o same_o 2._o that_o from_o the_o operation_n of_o our_o mind_n we_o have_v a_o clear_a idea_n of_o a_o immaterial_a substance_n within_o we_o 17._o again_o you_o say_v that_o the_o primary_n ideas_n we_o have_v of_o body_n as_o contradistinguish_v to_o spirit_n be_v the_o cohesion_n of_o solid_a and_o consequent_o separable_a part_n and_o a_o power_n of_o communicate_v motion_n by_o impulse_n these_o you_o think_v be_v the_o original_a idea_n proper_a and_o peculiar_a to_o body_n here_o body_n be_v contradistinguish_v to_o spirit_n and_o as_o it_o be_v so_o the_o cohesion_n of_o solid_a and_o separable_a part_n be_v make_v one_o of_o the_o original_a idea_n proper_a and_o peculiar_a to_o body_n as_o distinguish_v from_o a_o spiritual_a substance_n how_o then_o i_o pray_v can_v a_o spiritual_a substance_n consist_v of_o solid_a and_o separable_a part_n for_o whatever_o be_v solid_a you_o grant_v to_o be_v consequent_o separable_a this_o seem_v to_o i_o to_o confound_v the_o idea_n of_o body_n and_o spirit_n which_o you_o have_v take_v so_o much_o care_n to_o distinguish_v and_o so_o must_v destroy_v all_o certainty_n of_o a_o spiritual_a substance_n from_o your_o idea_n for_o although_o the_o bare_a simple_a idea_n of_o think_v may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v distinct_a from_o that_o of_o a_o solid_a body_n yet_o it_o be_v impossible_a from_o that_o idea_n so_o explain_v to_o prove_v a_o spiritual_a substance_n as_o distinct_a from_o body_n which_o be_v the_o thing_n i_o intend_v to_o prove_v but_o you_o go_v on_o to_o compare_v the_o complex_n idea_n of_o spirit_n and_o body_n in_o these_o word_n 22._o let_v we_o compare_v then_o our_o complex_fw-la idea_n of_o spirit_n without_o our_o complex_fw-la idea_n of_o body_n our_o idea_n of_o bod●_n be_v a_o extend_a solid_a substance_n capable_a of_o communicate_v motion_n by_o impulse_n and_o our_o idea_n of_o our_o soul_n be_v of_o a_o substance_n that_o think_v and_o have_v a_o power_n of_o exciting_a motion_n in_o body_n by_o will_n and_o thought_n these_o you_o think_v be_v our_o complex_n idea_n of_o soul_n and_o body_n as_o contradistinguish_v here_o you_o do_v not_o speak_v of_o the_o bare_a idea_n of_o think_v and_o solidity_n but_o of_o the_o different_a substance_n and_o one_o be_v say_v to_o be_v a_o solid_a substance_n and_o the_o other_o a_o substance_n that_o think_v i_o shall_v add_v one_o passage_n more_o to_o the_o same_o purpose_n the_o idea_n we_o have_v of_o spirit_n compare_v with_o that_o we_o have_v of_o body_n 30._o stand_v thus_o the_o substance_n of_o spirit_n be_v unknown_a to_o we_o and_o so_o be_v the_o substance_n of_o body_n equal_o unknown_a to_o we_o here_o we_o have_v again_o the_o substance_n of_o spirit_n and_o the_o substance_n of_o body_n distinguish_v from_o each_o other_o and_o not_o the_o bare_a modification_n so_o that_o i_o need_v no_o body_n to_o answer_v you_o but_o yourself_o but_o least_o such_o expression_n shall_v be_v think_v a_o mere_a slip_n of_o the_o pen_n you_o be_v please_v again_o to_o assert_v the_o notion_n of_o a_o immaterial_a know_a substance_n to_o imply_v no_o more_o of_o a_o contradiction_n than_o a_o extend_a divisible_a body_n 31._o and_o yet_o after_o all_o this_o you_o confess_v that_o you_o have_v not_o prove_v a_o immaterial_a substance_n 67._o and_o that_o it_o can_v be_v prove_v upon_o your_o principle_n what_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o this_o i_o can_v think_v you_o intend_v to_o lessen_v the_o authority_n of_o your_o book_n in_o so_o considerable_a a_o part_n of_o it_o and_o i_o shall_v much_o rather_o have_v think_v the_o latter_a passage_n a_o slip_n of_o your_o pen_n but_o that_o in_o your_o letter_n you_o go_v about_o to_o defend_v it_o therefore_o i_o must_v attend_v your_o motion_n in_o it_o 68_o you_o say_v that_o all_o the_o great_a end_n of_o religion_n and_o morality_n be_v secure_v bare_o by_o the_o immortality_n of_o the_o soul_n without_o a_o necessary_a supposition_n that_o the_o soul_n be_v immaterial_a i_o be_o of_o opinion_n that_o the_o great_a end_n of_o religion_n and_o morality_n be_v best_a secure_v by_o the_o proof_n of_o the_o immortality_n of_o the_o soul_n from_o its_o nature_n and_o property_n and_o which_o i_o think_v prove_v it_o immaterial_a i_o do_v not_o question_v whether_o god_n can_v give_v immortality_n to_o a_o material_a substance_n but_o i_o say_v it_o take_v off_o very_o much_o from_o the_o evidence_n of_o immortality_n if_o it_o depend_v whole_o upon_o god_n give_v that_o which_o of_o its_o own_o nature_n it_o be_v not_o capable_a of_o for_o if_o the_o soul_n be_v a_o material_a substance_n it_o be_v real_o nothing_o but_o life_n or_o matter_n put_v into_o motion_n with_o such_o organ_n and_o part_n as_o be_v necessary_a to_o hold_v they_o together_o and_o when_o death_n come_v than_o this_o material_a substance_n so_o modify_v be_v lose_v god_n may_v by_o his_o power_n grant_v a_o new_a life_n but_o will_v any_o man_n say_v god_n can_v preserve_v the_o life_n of_o a_o man_n when_o he_o be_v dead_a this_o be_v a_o plain_a absurdity_n and_o i_o think_v no_o such_o thing_n tend_v to_o preserve_v religion_n or_o morality_n mr._n hobbes_n speak_v very_o consonant_o to_o his_o own_o principle_n although_o not_o to_o those_o of_o religion_n and_o morality_n 34._o for_o he_o say_v that_o the_o universe_n be_v the_o aggregate_v of_o all_o body_n there_o be_v no_o real_a part_n of_o it_o that_o be_v not_o also_o a_o body_n and_o so_o he_o say_v that_o substance_n and_o body_n signify_v the_o same_o thing_n and_o therefore_o substance_n incorporeal_a be_v word_n which_o destroy_v one_o another_o but_o what_o then_o be_v a_o spirit_n that_o he_o say_v in_o the_o proper_a signification_n of_o it_o in_o common_a speech_n be_v either_o a_o subtle_a fluid_a invisible_a body_n or_o a_o ghost_n or_o other_o idol_n or_o phantasm_n of_o the_o imagination_n but_o be_v there_o not_o a_o immortal_a soul_n in_o man_n the_o promise_n of_o immortality_n say_v he_o be_v make_v to_o the_o man_n and_o not_o to_o the_o soul_n and_o immortal_a life_n do_v not_o begin_v in_o man_n till_o the_o resurrection_n from_o whence_o it_o be_v plain_a he_o look_v on_o the_o soul_n as_o nothing_o but_o the_o life_n 38._o and_o so_o he_o say_v that_o soul_n and_o life_n in_o scripture_n do_v usual_o signify_v the_o same_o thing_n and_o in_o
