of_o the_o relic_n of_o some_o of_o the_o ancient_a father_n yet_o extant_a or_o at_o least_o find_v long_o since_o our_o saviour_n ascension_n but_o i_o wonder_v that_o a_o man_n of_o so_o much_o

the_o invention_n or_o translation_n of_o the_o prophet_n samuel_n history_n can_v testify_v there_o be_v carry_v from_o jerusalem_n to_o constantinople_n a_o body_n withgreat_a solemnity_n that_o

no_o therefore_o history_n can_v assure_v we_o of_o any_o of_o the_o example_n which_o he_o bring_v against_o our_o position_n and_o the_o truth_n must_v be_v resolve_v either_o into_o probable_a

man_n i_o will_v pass_v all_o his_o say_n and_o grant_v he_o those_o he_o cite_v be_v the_o true_a relic_n of_o the_o saint_n who_o body_n they_o be_v esteem_v then_o he_o triumph_v and_o find_v a_o saint_n john_n who_o have_v two_o or_o three_o head_n in_o the_o world_n to_o have_v none_o in_o heaven_n and_o the_o saint_n who_o have_v leave_v their_o body_n in_o earth_n to_o have_v none_o in_o

such_o solution_n be_v fit_a for_o more_o metaphysical_a school_n that_o look_v beyond_o nature_n and_o not_o for_o i_o who_o ought_v to_o say_v no_o more_o than_o i_o can_v understand_v wherefore_o keep_v myself_o to_o aristotle_n and_o saint_n thomas_n i_o must_v declare_v that_o the_o thing_n we_o call_v relic_n be_v not_o the_o very_a body_n of_o the_o saint_n but_o new_a substance_n make_v out_o of_o the_o live_a body_n of_o such_o saint_n as_o much_o different_a substantial_o as_o if_o the_o body_n have_v be_v turn_v into_o ash_n or_o grass_n though_o moral_o keep_v a_o respect_n to_o the_o person_n whereof_o they_o be_v make_v whence_o it_o follow_v that_o in_o heaven_n the_o saint_n may_v have_v the_o same_o body_n they_o have_v upon_o earth_n though_o these_o relic_n remain_v in_o the_o tomb_n peradventure_o this_o lesson_n will_v seem_v a_o hard_a one_o to_o he_o but_o let_v he_o study_v well_o how_o in_o aristotle_n and_o saint_n thomas_n way_n there_o be_v but_o one_o materia_fw-la prima_fw-la or_o pura_fw-la potentia_fw-la under_o all_o form_n and_o how_o there_o be_v a_o compound_n make_v of_o this_o matter_n and_o the_o soul_n without_o any_o middle_a entity_n to_o cement_v they_o together_o &_o he_o may_v come_v to_o understand_v this_o mystery_n the_o which_o i_o explicate_v no_o far_o because_o people_n for_o who_o book_n be_v print_v in_o english_a for_o the_o most_o part_n be_v not_o capable_a to_o reach_v and_o judge_v such_o point_n 6._o here_o i_o shall_v have_v make_v a_o end_n of_o trouble_v you_o with_o this_o chapt._n but_o that_o i_o

your_o divine_a himself_n cite_v the_o word_n but_o not_o without_o the_o mystery_n of_o a_o translator_n for_o the_o pope_n word_n in_o the_o person_n of_o his_o deacon_n be_v why_o in_o these_o

the_o question_n be_v divide_v and_o first_o ask_v do_v this_o knowledge_n begin_v in_o this_o age_n what_o can_v be_v more_o plain_o answer_v then_o in_o these_o late_a or_o end_v time_n if_o it_o

come_v to_o be_v know_v what_o more_o plain_a then_o by_o plain_a revelation_n and_o manifestation_n or_o apparition_n i_o wonder_v where_o be_v the_o sincerity_n i_o see_v or_o think_v i_o see_v in_o this_o man_n at_o my_o first_o acquaintance_n with_o he_o that_o he_o shall_v bring_v so_o manifest_a and_o plain_a a_o assertion_n into_o question_n i_o fear_v a_o new_a divinity_n have_v teach_v he_o also_o new_a morality_n 5._o for_o his_o own_o defence_n he_o object_n that_o st._n gregory_n in_o the_o former_a chapter_n for_o nine_o chapter_n together_o have_v recount_v strange_a thing_n of_o soul_n wherefore_o it_o may_v be_v the_o author_n mean_v of_o they_o nor_o will_v i_o deny_v that_o but_o see_v the_o story_n be_v the_o occasion_n of_o the_o question_n and_o immediate_o

he_o make_v mention_n of_o the_o judgement_n of_o canus_n concern_v these_o story_n of_o pope_n gregory_n and_o venerable_a bede_n and_o express_v it_o that_o the_o nicety_n of_o this_o age_n will_v
