perfect at the first instant as ever afterwards therefore it must be saved or damned if there be any for others but no man knows how or which way except it can be proved Christ dyed for bare souls souls without bodies which will puzzle the cunningest soul that ever was made in the marring and mar'd in the making Further it is objected Creatures propagated out of kinde as by buggery as Apes Satyres c. are supposed are not endowed with reasonable souls Ergo souls are created immediately or however of necessity Gods superficient power is joyned to the propagation thereof Answ As I will not altogether confidently affirm they have rational souls so will I not altogether deny it For in man it is some organical deficiency more or less that is the cause that some men are less rational then others for some have abundance of wisedome and some are meer fools 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 rational 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 rational part separated from the material nor the material from the rational if there should be such Buggery-births or if by that unnatural course they should meet in one which is impossible for the blessing of procreating any thing in its kinde is to the kinde for that neither but for the natural production by the conjunction of both Sexes legitimate from Adam and not such unnatural by-blowes As for births out of kinde they come within the compass of the Curse and cannot any wayes claime priviledge in the Restoration but must expect with Thornes Briers and all manner of Vermine 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 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 sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord Rom. 6.23 Therefore Death coming upon all the Creatures by the sin of Adam no death being before sin life shall come upon all by Christ Secondly the Beasts were not given man to eat in the Innocency but to all flesh wherein was the breath of life was given the green 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 do not rise again 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 Rom. 5.12 and by man came Death by man shall 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 retain them but they must be delivered out of its Jawes Fourthly these ensuing Scriptures do 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 yee have heard and which was preached to every Creature under Heaven And Mar. 16.15 Go yee into all the World and 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-born of every Creature the First that 's born 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-born from the Dead of them all And Rev. 21.5 after the dissolution of all things he saith Behold I make all things New And Psal 104. David reckoning up Men Cattel c. saith Thou takest away their breath and they die thou sendest forth thy spirit and renewest the face of the Earth and Psal 102. speaking of the Heavens saith as a vesture shalt thou change them and they shall be changed and Isaiah saith in the New Earth the Wolfe and the Lambe shall feed together and the Lion shall eate straw like a Bullocke and Paul saith Rom. 8.19 20 21. The earnest expectation of the Creature waiteth for the manifectation of the sons of God For the Creature was made subject to vanitie not willingly but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope because the Creature it self also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God for we know that the whole Creation groaneth and traveleth in pain till now Therefore the Gospel or Glad Tydings is unto all all are under hope and all things men beasts c. shall be made new or restored at the Resurrection and so Death shall be swallowed up in victory and mortality of life or Death having given up her dead shall be cast into the Lake Rev. 20.13 15. Thus much by the by Now to our matter in hand But be it granted that those births are not endowed with reasonable souls yet doth it not follow that God createth immediately the soul or immediately assisteth nature in it's production more then the body for this is an instance out of kind● therefore cannot expect the blessing of the kinde but be as it self is unnatural and cursed for to the kinde is required Sexes of the kinde thereto God hath given the blessing to beget its kinde as well for man to beget perfect man as for the beasts to beget perfect beasts so that whatsoever is born of man naturally is man though one be ennobled with more excellencys then another A born Fool would have been a better instance for if to them rational Souls were denyed it might be thought Nature naturally begetteth meer irrational brutish inhumane bodies and rationality or humanity is a meer supernatural worke To prevent such a cavil I answer that by the Soularies grounds there can be no born fooles Infants new born yea an Embryo should be as actually rational as men of ripeness of years for they say the soul is rationality it self and that rationality is no more of the body then inke is of the pen and the soul is absolutely perfect at the first instant yea 't is forma
