A90237	Mans mortalitie: or, A treatise wherein 'tis proved, both theologically and philosophically, that whole man (as a rationall creature) is a compound wholly mortall, contrary to that common distinction of soule and body: and that the present going of the soule into heaven or hell is a meer fiction: and that at the resurrection is the beginning of our immortality, and then actual condemnation, and salvation, and not before. : With all doubts and objections answered, and resolved, both by scripture and reason; discovering the multitude of blasphemies, and absurdities that arise from the fancie of the soule. : Also divers other mysteries, as, of heaven, hell, Christs humane residence, the extent of the resurrection, the new creation, &c. opened, and presented to the tryall of better judgments. / By R.O.	Overton, Richard, fl. 1646.; Writer, Clement, fl. 1627-1658.	1644 (1644)	Wing O629E; ESTC R11330	42,502	47

to morrow we die And so k 59. Abs so many bellyes so many Gods and no other It is objected That the rarenesse of conception argues a supernaturall immediate assistance essentiall without which the soul cannot be Answ That commeth by a naturall defect and not by the withholding of Gods immediate hand else he should have a speciall and immediate hand in Adultery And so Whoremongers and Adulterers sets God a work to create Souls for k 61. Abs their Bastards which is to make God a slave to their lusts Further it is objected That God hath from eternity decreed concerning man above all creatures both who should come into the world and at what time Therefore accordingly he must have a work in mans conception above other creatures Answ No such thing followeth for time and number may be appoynted and yet the due course of nature proceed as well without as with an immediate assistance towards man in his kind as in Beasts in their kind Moreover Woolner in his Treatise on the Soul pag. 115. saith That the more spirituall parts and chiefly the Soul is but partly mediately partly immediately conceived at the first instant or union of the seed of both Sexes For by it pag. 127. he saith the corporeall parts are prepared and perfected Therefore it must of necessity be at the first instant or else no conception And pag. 129. That all Soules as well of Beasts as of men are essentially as perfect at the first instant of conception as ever afterwards And pag. 97. he saith The Soul can live without the body and cannot be corrupted by it Answ That then it followeth If a woman miscarry immediately after that very instant l 35. Abs that the Soul of that Effluction or unshapen deformed peece of congealed blood being immortal must needs continue its immortality and that Effluction as well as perfect bodies shall be raised againe for if degrees of corporall perfection hinder then those that are borne imperfect as without legs arms or hands or any other member as divers are they m 63 Abs shall never be raised againe and so out of the compasse of Christs death and though it should be granted that Christs death is denyed an Embrio yet that soules immortality cannot be nullified for immortality once begun must never have an end and he saith it cannot suffer with the flesh therefore if not with the whole masse of mans corpulency growne to its full perfection much lesse with an Embrio that is ten times lesse imperfect and invalid for he saith it is as perfect at the first instant as ever afterwards therefore it must be saved or damned if there be any for others but no man knowes how or Absurd which way except it can be proved Christ dyed for bare soules soules without bodies which will puzzle the cunningest soule that ever was made in the marring and mard in the making Further it is objected Creatures propagated out of kind as by buggery as Apes Satyres c. are supposed are not endowed with reasonable soules Ergo soules are created immediately or however of necessity Gods superficient power is joyned to the propagation thereof Answ As I will not altogether confidently affirme they have rationall soules so will I not altogether deny it For in Man it is some organicall deficiency more or lesse that is the cause that some men are lesse rationall then others for some have abundance of wisdome and some are meere fooles and in children whose Organs are not come to perfection there is not so much as there is in an Ape This premised why in some measure as far as by those improper Organs can be expressed may they not be rationall though not in the same degree as is capable of God as well as Infants who are as uncapable pro tempore as Apes But perchance it will be replyed that then Christ dyed for Apes as well as for Infants I Answer Christ dyed not for the rationall part separated from the materiall nor the materiall from the rationall if there should be such buggery births or if by that unnaturall course they should meet in one which is impossible for the blessing of procreating any thing in its kind is to the kind for that neither but for the naturall production by the conjunction of both Sexes legitimate from Adam and not such unnaturall by-blowes As for births out of kind they come within the compasse of the Curse and cannot any wayes claim priviledge in the Restoration but must expect with Thornes Bryars and all manner of Vermin and Filth which breedeth on corruption to be done away when mortality is swallowed up of life For all other Creatures as well as Man shall be raised and delivered from death at the Resurrection my Reasons and grounds for it be these First that otherwise the The Resurrection of Beasts c. curse in Adam would extend further then the blessing in Christ contrary to the Scriptures For as in Adam all dye even so in Christ shall all be made alive 1 Cor. 15. 22. For the wages of sinne is death but the gift of God is eternall life through Iesus Christ our Lord Rom. 23. Therefore Death comming upon all the Creatures by the sinne of Adam no death being before sinne life shall come upon all by Christ Secondly the beasts were not given Man to eate in the Innocencie but to all flesh wherein was the breath of life was given the greene herbe for meat Therefore the death of the beasts c. was part of the Curse and so to be done away by Christ Thirdly if the other Creatures doe not rise againe then Christ shall not conquer Death but when it is said O Death where is thy sting O grave where is thy victory it will be answered in Beasts because they are still captivated under its bondage But as by one man death entered into the world Ro. 5. 12. and by man came death by man shal come resurrection from death and the last Enemy that shall be destroyed is death and death shall be swallowed up in victory 1 Cor. 15. 21. 54. Therefore death shall not retaine them but they must be delivered out of its Jawes Fourthly those ensuing Scriptures doe clearly prove it Col. 1. 15. to the 23. All things were created by him and for him whether they be things in Earth or things in Heaven and be not removed away from the hope of the Gospel which ye have heard and which was preached to every creature under heaven And Mar. 16. 15. Go ye into all the world preach the Gospel to every creature that is Glad tydings life and Resurrection from the bondage of corruption to every Creature by Christ therefore is he said to be the First borne of every Creature the First that 's borne or raised from the Dead so that those whereof he is the First must follow that is every creature else could he not be the First borne
