A90237	Mans mortalitie: or, A treatise wherein 'tis proved, both theologically and philosophically, that whole man (as a rationall creature) is a compound wholly mortall, contrary to that common distinction of soule and body: and that the present going of the soule into heaven or hell is a meer fiction: and that at the resurrection is the beginning of our immortality, and then actual condemnation, and salvation, and not before. : With all doubts and objections answered, and resolved, both by scripture and reason; discovering the multitude of blasphemies, and absurdities that arise from the fancie of the soule. : Also divers other mysteries, as, of heaven, hell, Christs humane residence, the extent of the resurrection, the new creation, &c. opened, and presented to the tryall of better judgments. / By R.O.	Overton, Richard, fl. 1646.; Writer, Clement, fl. 1627-1658.	1644 (1644)	Wing O629E; ESTC R11330	42,502	47

to morrow we die And so k 59. Abs so many bellyes so many Gods and no other It is objected That the rarenesse of conception argues a supernaturall immediate assistance essentiall without which the soul cannot be Answ That commeth by a naturall defect and not by the withholding of Gods immediate hand else he should have a speciall and immediate hand in Adultery And so Whoremongers and Adulterers sets God a work to create Souls for k 61. Abs their Bastards which is to make God a slave to their lusts Further it is objected That God hath from eternity decreed concerning man above all creatures both who should come into the world and at what time Therefore accordingly he must have a work in mans conception above other creatures Answ No such thing followeth for time and number may be appoynted and yet the due course of nature proceed as well without as with an immediate assistance towards man in his kind as in Beasts in their kind Moreover Woolner in his Treatise on the Soul pag. 115. saith That the more spirituall parts and chiefly the Soul is but partly mediately partly immediately conceived at the first instant or union of the seed of both Sexes For by it pag. 127. he saith the corporeall parts are prepared and perfected Therefore it must of necessity be at the first instant or else no conception And pag. 129. That all Soules as well of Beasts as of men are essentially as perfect at the first instant of conception as ever afterwards And pag. 97. he saith The Soul can live without the body and cannot be corrupted by it Answ That then it followeth If a woman miscarry immediately after that very instant l 35. Abs that the Soul of that Effluction or unshapen deformed peece of congealed blood being immortal must needs continue its immortality and that Effluction as well as perfect bodies shall be raised againe for if degrees of corporall perfection hinder then those that are borne imperfect as without legs arms or hands or any other member as divers are they m 63 Abs shall never be raised againe and so out of the compasse of Christs death and though it should be granted that Christs death is denyed an Embrio yet that soules immortality cannot be nullified for immortality once begun must never have an end and he saith it cannot suffer with the flesh therefore if not with the whole masse of mans corpulency growne to its full perfection much lesse with an Embrio that is ten times lesse imperfect and invalid for he saith it is as perfect at the first instant as ever afterwards therefore it must be saved or damned if there be any for others but no man knowes how or Absurd which way except it can be proved Christ dyed for bare soules soules without bodies which will puzzle the cunningest soule that ever was made in the marring and mard in the making Further it is objected Creatures propagated out of kind as by buggery as Apes Satyres c. are supposed are not endowed with reasonable soules Ergo soules are created immediately or however of necessity Gods superficient power is joyned to the propagation thereof Answ As I will not altogether confidently affirme they have rationall soules so will I not altogether deny it For in Man it is some organicall deficiency more or lesse that is the cause that some men are lesse rationall then others for some have abundance of wisdome and some are meere fooles 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 rationall 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 rationall part separated from the materiall nor the materiall from the rationall if there should be such buggery births or if by that unnaturall course they should meet in one which is impossible for the blessing of procreating any thing in its kind is to the kind for that neither but for the naturall production by the conjunction of both Sexes legitimate from Adam and not such unnaturall by-blowes As for births out of kind they come within the compasse of the Curse and cannot any wayes claim priviledge in the Restoration but must expect with Thornes Bryars and all manner of Vermin 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 The Resurrection of Beasts c. 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 sinne is death but the gift of God is eternall life through Iesus Christ our Lord Rom. 23. Therefore Death comming upon all the Creatures by the sinne of Adam no death being before sinne life shall come upon all by Christ Secondly the beasts were not given Man to eate in the Innocencie but to all flesh wherein was the breath of life was given the greene 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 doe not rise againe 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 Ro. 5. 12. and by man came death by man shal 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 retaine them but they must be delivered out of its Jawes Fourthly those ensuing Scriptures doe 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 ye have heard and which was preached to every creature under heaven And Mar. 16. 15. Go ye into all the world 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 borne of every Creature the First that 's borne 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 borne

condensation and at the Day of the Lord the Heavens shall passe away with a great noyse and the elements shall melt with fervent heat 2 Pet. 3. 10. But their habitation is of a better and enduring substance Heb. 10. 13. eternall 2 Cor. 5. 1. an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and that fadeth not away 1 Pet. 1. 4. whereas this makes it mortall corruptible and fading so that the soul changeth but one corruptible earthly mansion for an other that shall fleet away and no more place shall be found for it Rev. 10. 20. and 21. 1. 4ly Christ was the first fruits of them that slept and thereby as he tould his Disciples he went to prepare a place for them in his Fathers house Therefore if it were then to prepare it was not then in esse there could be none in before it self was in Being so that if Abraham Isaac c. as soon as they died entred presently therein it is as if we should be actually in a House before the House be built or enjoy the Purchase before the Price be paid or Possession had I may and not without ground positively affirme that the place of Glory for the dead Saints is not yet and shall not actually Be till the Heaven o● the place of glory for the Saints not till the Resurrection dissolution of those Heavens and this earth according to that of Isaiah 65. 15. For behold I create New Heavens and a New Earth and the former shall not be remembered nor come into mind Chap. 66. the New Heavens and the New earth shall remaine before me saith the Lord. And 2 Pet. 3. 12. t is said we look for New Heavens and a New Earth after the dissolution of the old ver 12. wherein dwelleth righteousnesse And Iohn after he had revealed the end and finall dissolution of the world and the Judgment of the quick and dead saith And I saw a New Heaven and a New Earth for the first Heaven and the first Earth were passed away and there was no more Sea And ver 2. 3. c. And I saw the holy City c. Whence is observable that Isaiah Peter and Iohn with one consent in probation that they did not meane any state in this world expresly conclude the dissolution of those Heavens this earth before their prophesie be fulfilled 2ly that they are not the same with those they stile them New to distinguish them from the old 3ly that they intend no renovation of the old Isaiah maketh them a work of Creation I create New Heavens c. 4ly to confirme it further Isaiah declareth their eternity the New Heavens and the New Earth shall continue before me saith the Lord 5ly Peter maketh them pure and undefiled wherein dwelleth righteousnesse And into this New Earth Iohn saw the holy City New Ierusalem comming down from God out of Heaven ver 2. and heard a voyce out of Heaven saying Behold the Tabernacle of God with men and he will dwell with them ver 3. and ver 27. there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth whence it is most certaine that it shall never be defiled with sin for the glory of God shall lighten it and the Lamb is the light thereof ver 23. and they shall raigne for ever and ever cap. 22. 5. 6ly there shall be no teares no death nor sorrow nor any more paine for the former things are passed away cap. 21. 4. none of all which is computable with the state of this world but if compared with those places which speake of the state of glory or habitation for the Saints that sleep in Christ after this life as 1 Pet. 1. 4. where it is made an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and that fadeth not away and Heb. 10. 34. it is called an enduring substance and cap. 11. 14. it is called a Countrey and ver 15. an heavenly Countrey which so answer and correspond with this New Creation that thereto only it is computable therefore they must needs be one and the same and that they are the prophesies themselves do witnesse as Rev. 21. 24. the Nations of them that are saved shall walk in the light of it and cap. 22. 5. there they shall raigne for ever and for ever and Peter makes it the end of their faith saying we according to his promise look for new Heavens c. and further to confirme it compare Rev. 7. 14. 15. 16. 17. with cap. 20. 1. 2. 3 4. and you shall find that it shall be the reward of those that come out of tribulation c. Therefore this is the inheritance incorruptible and undefiled c. the purchased possession Ephe. 1. 14. the World to come ver 21. the reward and end of our faith This being thus it is impossible that any should injoy that for the present which is yet to create So that the Thiefe is found a World too short of this Paradice Object Peter saith it is reserved in Heaven To that and such like expressions I Answer that the word Heaven being fittest to expresse the highnesse of its degree and exaltation of its glory to sence is used for no other end so that the meaning is reserved in highest dignity for Heaven in Scripture is oftentimes used to expresse the height and dignity of a thing as Isa 14. 12. Object Isaiah there shall be no more thence an Infant of dayes nor an old man that hath filled his dayes for the Child shall dye an hundred yeares old c. Answ That if this be expounded by Iohns Revelation it cannot admit of an interpretation sutable to the state of this world for he saith there shall be no death there cap. 21. 4. and before he sheweth that Death the last enemy that shall be destroyed was cast into the Lake Therefore it is impossible there should be any death there So that those expressions of Isaiah are metaphoricall to expresse the durance of their state which Iohn revealeth to be for ever and ever cap. 22. 5. Some indeed attribute this of Isaiah to the Thousand years of Christs Raigne in the Gospels glory which commeth betwixt the Fall of the Beast and the wars of Gog and Magog to which though it should relate yet that double cord of Peter and Iohn is sufficient to confirm the thing both without contradiction plainly and expresly affirming this New Creation to be after the destruction of the old Object For Christ is not entred into the holy places made with hands which are the figures of the true but into heaven it selfe now to appeare in the presence of God for us Heb. 9. 24. Answ If the subject or matter in hand of that place be observed the obscurity or seeming contradiction hereto will vanish the subject thereof is the state of the two Covenants or Testaments the Old and the New the first worldly and carnall the other heavenly and spiritual the first the shadow the second the substance the first had
