A86451	The grand prerogative of humane nature namely, the souls naturall or native immortality, and freedome from corruption, shewed by many arguments, and also defended against the rash and rude conceptions of a late presumptuous authour, who hath adventured to impugne it. By G.H. Gent.	Holland, Guy, 1587?-1660.	1653 (1653)	Wing H2417; Thomason E1438_2; ESTC R202443	95,057	144

their_o materiality_n namely_o by_o conceive_v they_o conformable_o unto_o itself_o that_o be_v to_o say_v after_o a_o manner_n abstract_a and_o immaterial_a declare_v thereby_o the_o spirituality_n

sufficient_o evict_v that_o it_o be_v in_o a_o degree_n superior_a to_o corporeal_a entity_n i_o exemplify_v for_o declaration_n sake_n god_n when_o he_o first_o arrive_v in_o our_o understanding_n by_o the_o out-portall_n of_o simple_a apprehension_n appear_v unto_o we_o in_o the_o habit_n of_o a_o body_n a_o angel_n in_o the_o likeness_n of_o a_o man_n time_n dress_v up_o in_o wing_n &_o in_o

of_o his_o borrow_a attire_n the_o soul_n judge_n of_o he_o as_o he_o be_v and_o gather_v new_a verity_n of_o he_o by_o discur_v and_o as_o the_o understanding_n proceed_v in_o this_o one_o example_n

to_o restore_v it_o so_o be_v it_o not_o in_o the_o appetite_n of_o nature_n to_o have_v a_o restitution_n of_o it_o so_o that_o whatsoever_o appetite_n for_o it_o there_o be_v leave_v behind_o be_v

tostatus_n will_v have_v it_o that_o before_o such_o time_n as_o we_o can_v allow_v any_o appetite_n to_o be_v natural_a we_o ought_v to_o know_v the_o object_n of_o that_o appetite_n to_o be_v
