etc._n from_o which_o word_n we_o may_v deduce_v several_a observation_n 1._o that_o the_o soul_n and_o body_n be_v distinct_a being_n 2._o that_o after_o the_o dissolution_n of_o the_o body_n the_o

the_o disciple_n not_o to_o fear_v those_o who_o can_v kill_v the_o body_n rest_v upon_o this_o supposition_n that_o the_o soul_n and_o body_n be_v being_n distinct_a one_o from_o another_o for_o if_o man_n have_v no_o soul_n or_o if_o the_o soul_n be_v not_o a_o different_a thing_n from_o the_o body_n or_o if_o other_o man_n have_v as_o much_o power_n over_o the_o soul_n as_o the_o body_n there_o will_v be_v no_o force_n in_o his_o reason_v but_o to_o make_v this_o truth_n the_o more_o evident_a i_o shall_v draw_v argument_n from_o these_o three_o head_n 1._o from_o the_o distinct_a property_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o body_n 2._o from_o the_o incapacity_n of_o matter_n to_o think_v 3._o from_o the_o difference_n every_o where_o suppose_v in_o scripture_n between_o the_o soul_n and_o body_n 1._o from_o the_o distinct_a property_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o body_n now_o if_o we_o will_v give_v ourselves_o leave_v a_o little_a to_o contemplate_v our_o own_o nature_n we_o shall_v discover_v in_o we_o power_n quality_n and_o action_n which_o be_v peculiar_a to_o the_o soul_n and_o quite_o different_a from_o the_o affection_n and_o quality_n which_o belong_v to_o the_o body_n essential_a property_n of_o the_o soul_n be_v to_o think_v to_o understand_v to_o will_v to_o consider_v to_o judge_v and_o the_o like_a but_o inseparable_a property_n of_o body_n be_v length_n breadth_n thickness_n size_n shape_n etc._n etc._n but_o as_o these_o thing_n may_v be_v esteem_v essential_a some_o to_o the_o mind_n and_o some_o to_o the_o body_n for_o if_o either_o you_o sever_v think_v from_o the_o mind_n or_o extension_n from_o the_o body_n you_o can_v have_v no_o conception_n or_o apprehension_n of_o the_o one_o or_o the_o other_o so_o they_o be_v very_o distinct_a not_o have_v the_o least_o affinity_n each_o with_o other_o thus_o consideration_n remembrance_n judgement_n liberty_n conscience_n have_v no_o relation_n unto_o body_n and_o do_v not_o enter_v into_o the_o notion_n and_o idea_n of_o it_o neither_o do_v length_n breadth_n size_n figure_n hardness_n softness_n enter_v into_o the_o conception_n of_o a_o soul_n for_o we_o never_o speak_v of_o the_o length_n or_o the_o shape_n or_o the_o bulk_n or_o the_o colour_n of_o our_o thought_n since_o that_o will_v be_v absurd_a speech_n by_o which_o we_o can_v mean_v nothing_o so_o that_o it_o be_v manifest_a our_o soul_n be_v distinguish_v from_o our_o body_n by_o property_n which_o be_v peculiar_a and_o essential_a to_o each_o of_o they_o and_o that_o we_o have_v as_o clear_v full_a and_o distinct_a apprehension_n of_o the_o attribute_n that_o be_v essential_a to_o the_o soul_n as_o of_o those_o which_o be_v inseparable_a from_o the_o body_n for_o do_v not_o every_o man_n as_o plain_o

they_o be_v the_o property_n of_o the_o soul_n to_o deliberate_v to_o consider_v and_o after_o any_o manner_n to_o think_v for_o when_o he_o look_v upon_o body_n and_o its_o power_n and_o likewise_o conclude_v that_o those_o kind_n of_o operation_n can_v belong_v unto_o body_n he_o present_o yield_v that_o there_o be_v in_o we_o some_o other_o thing_n which_o do_v deliberate_a or_o advise_v and_o that_o be_v the_o soul_n 2._o i_o argue_v that_o the_o soul_n and_o body_n be_v distinct_a substance_n from_o the_o incapacity_n of_o matter_n to_o think_v all_o we_o know_v of_o the_o nature_n and_o quality_n of_o matter_n we_o learn_v from_o its_o operation_n on_o our_o sense_n for_o further_a than_o it_o act_n upon_o some_o of_o our_o sense_n we_o have_v no_o notice_n of_o it_o but_o matter_n can_v no_o other_o way_n work_n upon_o our_o sense_n but_o by_o motion_n which_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o all_o that_o variety_n which_o show_v itself_o in_o body_n if_o then_o matter_n can_v perceive_v and_o think_v and_o all_o the_o effect_n and_o change_n in_o matter_n be_v wrought_v by_o motion_n then_o unto_o motion_n must_v be_v ascribe_v thought_n and_o perception_n but_o as_o nothing_o be_v more_o unlike_a than_o corporeal_a motion_n and_o cogitation_n so_o it_o be_v unconceivable_a how_o one_o shall_v be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o other_o that_o be_v how_o stupid_a matter_n by_o any_o degree_n of_o motion_n communicate_v to_o it_o shall_v acquire_v a_o power_n to_o consider_v reflect_v and_o remember_v the_o epicurean_o indeed_o who_o hold_v the_o soul_n corporeal_a to_o explain_v how_o matter_n may_v perform_v the_o function_n of_o the_o mind_n do_v teach_v that_o the_o part_n of_o matter_n which_o go_v to_o make_v a_o soul_n be_v light_n and_o

ever_o show_v better_a and_o great_a at_o a_o distance_n than_o they_o prove_v in_o our_o possession_n but_o this_o that_o they_o carry_v no_o proportion_n to_o the_o appetite_n of_o the_o mind_n which_o be_v of_o a_o spiritual_a and_o heavenly_a nature_n and_o can_v never_o hope_v to_o receive_v adequate_a satisfaction_n from_o any_o thing_n here_o below_o wherefore_o if_o these_o vast_a

be_v create_v not_o only_o for_o this_o world_n but_o to_o live_v in_o another_o where_o they_o shall_v converse_v with_o and_o enjoy_v such_o bright_a and_o glorious_a object_n as_o will_v complete_o gratify_v and_o delight_v they_o and_o from_o hence_o i_o deduce_v a_o four_o argument_n for_o the_o immortality_n of_o the_o soul_n viz._n 4._o from_o the_o common_a appetite_n in_o man_n to_o live_v for_o ever_o and_o in_o that_o eternal_a state_n to_o possess_v the_o chief_a good_a which_o will_v satiate_v the_o high_a and_o most_o extensive_a desire_n of_o the_o mind_n every_o man_n that_o come_v into_o the_o world_n love_v happiness_n and_o will_v enjoy_v it_o eternal_o it_o be_v not_o only_o the_o desire_n of_o st._n paul_n to_o be_v dissolve_v and_o be_v with_o christ_n but_o the_o

share_n of_o their_o blessedness_n we_o have_v have_v great_a experience_n of_o god_n goodness_n who_o have_v enrich_v we_o with_o many_o favour_n and_o therefore_o we_o ought_v to_o believe_v that_o he_o love_v we_o and_o do_v intend_v good_a to_o we_o in_o the_o whole_a contrivance_n and_o constitution_n of_o our_o nature_n wherein_o he_o only_o can_v put_v these_o unextinguishable_a appetite_n to_o live_v and_o subsist_v happy_o for_o ever_o and_o to_o partake_v of_o such_o felicity_n as_o this_o world_n do_v not_o afford_v and_o which_o indeed_o be_v no_o where_o to_o be_v find_v but_o in_o his_o infinite_o perfect_a be_v now_o he_o who_o love_v we_o exceed_o well_o and_o of_o who_o bounty_n we_o have_v share_v thus_o large_o already_o will_v not_o have_v endue_v our_o nature_n with_o those_o vehement_a appetite_n which_o unless_o he_o be_v please_v in_o fit_a time_n to_o give_v they_o satisfaction_n can_v only_o serve_v to_o distract_v and_o torture_v our_o mind_n and_o render_v we_o extreme_o miserable_a for_o such_o a_o treatment_n will_v be_v not_o only_o inconsistent_a with_o his_o infinite_a wisdom_n which_o appear_v in_o every_o part_n of_o the_o world_n but_o repugnant_a to_o his_o boundless_a goodness_n which_o always_o dispose_v he_o to_o promote_v the_o happiness_n pity_v the_o weakness_n and_o supply_v the_o want_n of_o his_o poor_a creature_n it_o be_v hope_n of_o enjoyment_n of_o everlasting_a happiness_n which_o make_v we_o to_o bear_v injury_n pain_n and_o loss_n patient_o and_o at_o length_n yield_v to_o the_o stroke_n of_o death_n with_o a_o willing_a and_o content_a mind_n but_o have_v we_o reason_n to_o believe_v that_o death_n will_v make_v a_o utter_a end_n both_o of_o body_n and_o soul_n as_o the_o conceit_n thereof_o all-along_a this_o life_n will_v be_v a_o intolerable_a burden_n so_o we_o shall_v leave_v the_o world_n with_o deep_a horror_n but_o if_o there_o be_v a_o god_n and_o that_o god_n be_v the_o author_n of_o our_o nature_n and_o the_o author_n of_o our_o nature_n be_v infinite_o good_a and_o always_o act_v suitable_o to_o that_o goodness_n and_o if_o it_o be_v the_o property_n of_o infinite_a goodness_n to_o bestow_v all_o that_o endless_a bliss_n and_o felicity_n upon_o its_o creature_n which_o it_o not_o only_o have_v make_v they_o capable_a of_o but_o which_o it_o have_v incline_v their_o very_a nature_n earnest_o to_o desire_v and_o hope_n for_o then_o we_o may_v from_o hence_o beyond_o all_o question_n and_o doubt_n conclude_v the_o immortality_n of_o our_o soul_n and_o our_o hope_n of_o a_o joyful_a eternity_n can_v no_o where_o rest_n so_o safe_o as_o upon_o the_o divine_a goodness_n 5._o i_o shall_v but_o name_v one_o argument_n more_o though_o it_o be_v of_o unconquerable_a

and_o serve_v god_n may_v partake_v of_o the_o glory_n with_o which_o he_o will_v reward_v the_o heavenly-minded_n and_o that_o they_o who_o neglect_v and_o forget_v and_o dishonour_n god_n may_v be_v
