one_o be_v as_o a_o appendent_a to_o the_o other_o and_o in_o very_a deed_n to_o what_o purpose_n be_v the_o world_n create_v if_o there_o be_v nobody_o to_o behold_v it_o or_o to_o what_o end_n

which_o know_v he_o not_o howbeit_o for_o the_o better_a satisfy_n of_o the_o silly_a soul_n which_o go_v on_o still_o like_o witless_a beast_n without_o take_v so_o much_o leisure_n in_o all_o

to_o deface_v with_o so_o much_o filthiness_n the_o soul_n of_o man_n as_o i_o have_v say_v afore_o be_v not_o a_o body_n neither_o do_v it_o increase_v or_o decrease_v with_o the_o body_n but_o contrary_a wise_a the_o more_o the_o body_n decay_v the_o more_o do_v the_o understanding_n increase_n and_o the_o near_a that_o the_o body_n draw_v unto_o death_n the_o more_o free_o do_v the_o mind_n understand_v and_o the_o more_o that_o the_o body_n abate_v in_o flesh_n the_o more_o workful_a be_v the_o mind_n and_o why_o then_o shall_v we_o think_v that_o the_o thing_n which_o become_v the_o strong_a by_o the_o weakness_n of_o the_o body_n and_o which_o be_v advance_v by_o the_o decay_n of_o the_o body_n shall_v return_v to_o dust_n with_o the_o body_n a_o man_n sense_n fail_v because_o his_o eye_n fail_v and_o his_o eye_n fail_v because_o the_o spirit_n of_o they_o fail_v but_o the_o blind_a man_n understanding_n increase_v because_o his_o eye_n be_v not_o buside_o and_o the_o old_a man_n reason_n become_v the_o more_o perfect_a by_o the_o loss_n of_o his_o sight_n therefore_o why_o say_v we_o not_o that_o the_o body_n fail_v the_o soul_n and_o not_o the_o soul_n the_o body_n and_o that_o the_o glass_n be_v out_o of_o the_o spectacle_n but_o the_o eyesight_n be_v still_o good_a why_o shall_v we_o deem_v the_o soul_n to_o be_v forego_v with_o the_o sense_n if_o the_o eye_n be_v the_o thing_n that_o see_v and_o the_o care_n the_o thing_n that_o hear_v why_o do_v we_o not_o see_v thing_n double_a and_o hear_v sound_n double_a see_v we_o have_v two_o eye_n

of_o our_o eyesight_n be_v as_o good_a as_o quench_v or_o stark_o dead_a how_o be_v it_o possible_a that_o the_o reasonable_a soul_n shall_v be_v tie_v and_o bind_v to_o the_o sense_n what_o a_o reason_n be_v it_o to_o say_v that_o the_o soul_n die_v with_o the_o sense_n see_v that_o the_o true_a sense_n do_v then_o grow_v and_o increase_v when_o the_o instrument_n of_o sense_n do_v die_v and_o what_o a_o thing_n be_v it_o to_o say_v that_o beast_n be_v dead_a because_o he_o have_v lose_v his_o eye_n when_o we_o ourselves_o see_v that_o it_o live_v after_o it_o have_v forego_v the_o
