the_o second_o prophet_n who_o dispensation_n be_v to_o continue_v till_o the_o come_n of_o jesus_n christ_n who_o they_o call_v the_o breath_n of_o god_n acknowledge_v that_o he_o be_v conceive_a by_o divine_a operation_n in_o the_o womb_n of_o his_o mother_n who_o remain_v a_o virgin_n even_o after_o his_o birth_n he_o alter_v and_o reform_v the_o law_n according_a to_o the_o power_n with_o which_o god_n have_v entrust_v he_o and_o for_o that_o reason_n incur_v the_o hatred_n of_o the_o jew_n who_o seek_v to_o put_v he_o to_o death_n and_o hire_v the_o traitor_n judas_n to_o betray_v he_o but_o when_o he_o come_v to_o the_o oliu●-garden_n they_o be_v seize_v with_o so_o strange_a a_o illusion_n that_o they_o crucified_a judas_n instead_o of_o his_o master_n who_o be_v in_o the_o mean_a time_n translate_v to_o heaven_n where_o he_o remain_v with_o the_o two_o former_a prophet_n they_o say_v this_o opinion_n serve_v much_o better_a to_o display_v the_o glory_n of_o christ_n than_o the_o christian_a doctrine_n and_o brand_v we_o with_o folly_n and_o impiety_n for_o believe_v that_o he_o who_o we_o adore_v as_o god_n be_v shameful_o crucified_a the_o very_a sight_n of_o a_o crucifix_n fill_v they_o with_o anger_n and_o rage_n pretend_v that_o it_o be_v a_o horrid_a injury_n to_o christ_n to_o represent_v he_o in_o a_o state_n of_o ignominy_n and_o suffer_v they_o believe_v also_o that_o he_o will_v come_v to_o judge_v the_o world_n at_o the_o last_o day_n but_o that_o he_o will_v first_o reign_v upon_o the_o earth_n and_o marry_o and_o beget_v child_n they_o affirm_v that_o he_o be_v a_o holy_a man_n and_o a_o choose_a vessel_n but_o they_o will_v not_o be_v persuade_v to_o acknowledge_v a_o trinity_n of_o person_n in_o the_o godhead_n say_v that_o such_o a_o opinion_n will_v absolute_o destroy_v the_o unity_n of_o that_o sovereign_n be_v without_o which_o he_o can_v not_o be_v god._n christ_n be_v succeed_v by_o mahomet_n after_o who_o there_o shall_v come_v no_o other_o prophet_n '_o will_v be_v a_o endless_a task_n to_o reckon_v up_o all_o the_o glorious_a title_n they_o bestow_v upon_o he_o they_o differ_v not_o much_o from_o we_o in_o their_o opinion_n concern_v the_o divine_a attribute_n only_o they_o have_v such_o a_o peculiar_a fondness_n for_o predestination_n that_o they_o extend_v it_o even_o to_o the_o most_o indifferent_a action_n yet_o with_o some_o limitation_n and_o circumstance_n which_o it_o will_v be_v very_o difficult_a to_o explain_v and_o which_o they_o themselves_o do_v not_o well_o understand_v thus_o they_o be_v firm_o persuade_v that_o under_o the_o reign_n of_o such_o a_o emperor_n the_o state_n will_v infallible_o and_o perpetual_o have_v either_o a_o disastrous_a or_o happy_a fate_n and_o it_o be_v this_o persuasion_n that_o make_v they_o so_o inclinable_a to_o dethrone_v their_o sultan_n they_o believe_v that_o there_o be_v a_o infinite_a number_n of_o angel_n some_o good_a and_o other_o bad._n the_o first_o be_v call_v white_a and_o the_o other_o black_a angel_n or_o devil_n they_o imagine_v that_o every_o man_n have_v two_o angel_n that_o attend_v he_o continual_o and_o that_o one_o of_o they_o write_v down_o all_o his_o good_a and_o the_o other_o all_o his_o bad_a action_n they_o address_v their_o prayer_n to_o the_o black_a angel_n as_o well_o as_o to_o the_o white_a that_o they_o may_v secure_v the_o friendship_n both_o of_o the_o inhabitant_n of_o paradise_n and_o hell_n though_o in_o their_o opinion_n the_o soul_n of_o the_o damn_a enter_v not_o into_o the_o last_o of_o these_o place_n till_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n for_o it_o be_v a_o article_n of_o the_o turkish_a faith_n that_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o wicked_a remain_n in_o their_o grave_n where_o they_o be_v torment_v by_o the_o black_a angel_n till_o the_o last_o day_n when_o they_o shall_v be_v send_v to_o hell_n together_o with_o their_o body_n and_o suffer_v very_o cruel_a punishment_n for_o the_o space_n of_o one_o or_o two_o thousand_o year_n according_a to_o the_o crime_n they_o commit_v in_o this_o life_n after_o which_o they_o shall_v be_v release_v and_o admit_v into_o paradise_n where_o they_o shall_v enjoy_v the_o same_o happiness_n that_o be_v appoint_v for_o the_o soul_n of_o good_a men._n they_o think_v it_o be_v inconsistent_a with_o the_o divine_a goodness_n and_o blame_v we_o for_o believe_v that_o god_n will_v punish_v a_o man_n eternal_o for_o the_o offence_n of_o so_o short_a a_o life_n yet_o since_o they_o be_v extreme_o afraid_a of_o hell_n they_o pray_v very_o devout_o to_o the_o black_a angel_n that_o they_o will_v be_v please_v not_o to_o write_v down_o all_o their_o ill_a action_n since_o you_o will_v doubtless_o look_v upon_o their_o opinion_n of_o the_o soul_n be_v rest_v in_o the_o grave_a after_o death_n to_o be_v very_o absurd_a and_o ridiculous_a i_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o give_v you_o a_o clear_a idea_n of_o their_o thought_n on_o that_o subject_a they_o differ_v from_o we_o in_o the_o account_n they_o give_v of_o the_o manner_n how_o the_o soul_n inform_v and_o animate_v the_o body_n for_o whereas_o we_o believe_v that_o these_o two_o substance_n be_v hypostatical_o unite_v and_o that_o death_n consist_v in_o their_o separation_n they_o imagine_v that_o the_o soul_n and_o body_n have_v no_o dependence_n on_o one_o another_o and_o that_o the_o absence_n of_o the_o spirit_n which_o for_o example_n may_v take_v a_o journey_n to_o paradise_n be_v not_o necessary_o attend_v with_o the_o destruction_n of_o the_o corporeal_a machine_n though_o they_o acknowledge_v that_o the_o body_n be_v always_o deprive_v of_o reason_n during_o its_o separation_n from_o the_o soul_n thus_o they_o believe_v that_o the_o only_a reason_n why_o a_o fool_n or_o idiot_n act_n and_o speak_v absurd_o be_v because_o his_o soul_n and_o consequent_o his_o reason_n have_v forsake_v he_o as_o for_o lunatic_n and_o hypochondriacal_a person_n who_o have_v some_o lucid_a interval_n and_o be_v only_o deprive_v of_o their_o reason_n by_o fit_n they_o endeavour_v to_o solve_v the_o difficulty_n by_o maintain_v that_o the_o soul_n leave_v her_o mansion_n at_o certain_a time_n and_o return_v again_o after_o a_o short_a absence_n and_o this_o they_o say_v be_v a_o effect_n of_o providence_n either_o for_o the_o punishment_n of_o the_o distemper_a person_n or_o for_o some_o other_o hide_a design_n when_o a_o christian_a tell_v they_o that_o these_o fit_n of_o madness_n proceed_v from_o the_o disorder_n and_o indisposition_n of_o the_o organ_n which_o hinder_v the_o soul_n from_o perform_v her_o function_n they_o upbraid_v he_o with_o the_o absurdity_n of_o his_o opinion_n for_o say_v they_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n be_v a_o spirit_n and_o therefore_o can_v be_v stop_v or_o obstruct_v in_o the_o exercise_n of_o her_o faculty_n by_o matter_n which_o be_v a_o substance_n of_o another_o and_o absolute_o different_a nature_n from_o this_o principle_n they_o infer_v that_o neither_o the_o presence_n nor_o absence_n of_o the_o soul_n can_v produce_v any_o alteration_n in_o the_o machinal_a course_n of_o the_o body_n which_o be_v only_o move_v by_o spring_n and_o that_o when_o one_o of_o the_o principal_a spring_n fail_v or_o be_v spoil_v the_o soul_n can_v prevent_v the_o ruin_n of_o the_o whole_a engine_n this_o they_o pretend_v be_v a_o obvious_a truth_n and_o confirm_v by_o daily_a experience_n and_o therefore_o we_o must_v not_o be_v surprise_v that_o a_o dead_a body_n neither_o walk_n breathe_n nor_o perform_v any_o operation_n though_o the_o soul_n be_v still_o lodge_v in_o it_o for_o since_o she_o be_v not_o the_o author_n of_o the_o machine_n which_o she_o inhabit_v it_o be_v beyond_o her_o power_n either_o to_o keep_v it_o entire_a or_o to_o repair_v it_o after_o it_o fall_v to_o decay_v god_n alone_o who_o make_v and_o contrive_v it_o can_v restore_v it_o and_o renew_v its_o motion_n as_o he_o will_v do_v at_o the_o last_o day_n to_o confirm_v this_o hypothesis_n they_o cite_v with_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o confidence_n what_o pliny_n relate_v of_o a_o man_n who_o soul_n and_o body_n be_v wont_a to_o be_v separate_v every_o day_n so_o that_o the_o body_n remain_v without_o any_o appearance_n of_o life_n or_o motion_n till_o the_o return_n of_o the_o soul_n which_o afterward_o use_v to_o give_v a_o account_n of_o all_o the_o wonderful_a thing_n she_o have_v see_v in_o the_o remote_a country_n this_o you_o know_v be_v one_o of_o that_o author_n be_v fabulous_a story_n and_o yet_o the_o turk_n pretend_v to_o draw_v from_o thence_o a_o evident_a and_o irrefutable_a proof_n of_o their_o opinion_n beside_o they_o give_v the_o soul_n a_o figure_n exact_o like_o that_o of_o the_o body_n and_o upon_o this_o principle_n maintain_v that_o the_o soul_n of_o the_o damn_a be_v beat_v in_o the_o grave_a and_o suffer_v torment_n
