idea_n of_o personal_a identity_n and_o the_o question_n between_o we_o now_o be_v whether_o your_o certainty_n of_o this_o matter_n from_o your_o idea_n have_v no_o influence_n on_o the_o belief_n of_o this_o article_n of_o faith_n for_o the_o main_a of_o your_o defence_n lie_v upon_o this_o point_n whether_o your_o method_n of_o certainty_n by_o idea_n do_v at_o all_o shake_n or_o in_o the_o least_o concern_v the_o assurance_n of_o faith_n which_o you_o absolute_o deny_v 96._o and_o affirm_v that_o faith_n stand_v upon_o its_o own_o basis_n and_o be_v not_o at_o all_o alter_v by_o your_o

this_o article_n of_o the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o dead_a to_o be_v a_o article_n of_o faith_n and_o we_o be_v to_o consider_v whether_o if_o your_o method_n of_o certainty_n by_o idea_n do_v hold_v in_o this_o matter_n it_o continue_v as_o firm_a and_o in_o the_o same_o credibility_n it_o have_v before_o i_o shall_v not_o urge_v you_o with_o the_o sense_n of_o our_o own_o or_o other_o christian_a church_n in_o this_o point_n of_o the_o sameness_n of_o the_o body_n in_o the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o dead_a but_o i_o shall_v continue_v myself_o to_o the_o scripture_n as_o the_o foundation_n and_o rule_n of_o our_o faith_n and_o the_o main_a point_n be_v whether_o according_a to_o that_o it_o be_v not_o necessary_a for_o the_o same_o substance_n which_o be_v unite_v to_o the_o body_n to_o be_v raise_v up_o at_o the_o last_o day_n i_o do_v not_o say_v the_o same_o individual_a particle_n of_o matter_n which_o be_v unite_v at_o the_o point_n of_o death_n for_o there_o must_v be_v a_o great_a alteration_n in_o they_o in_o a_o linger_a disease_n as_o if_o a_o fat_a man_n fall_v into_o a_o consumption_n i_o do_v not_o say_v the_o same_o particle_n which_o the_o

perspiration_n but_o that_o which_o i_o suppose_v be_v employ_v in_o it_o be_v that_o it_o must_v be_v the_o same_o material_a substance_n which_o be_v vital_o unite_v to_o the_o soul_n here_o you_o mention_v the_o hypothesis_n of_o those_o who_o place_n think_v in_o a_o pure_o material_a animal_n constitution_n void_a of_o spirit_n but_o you_o agree_v 25._o that_o the_o more_o probable_a opinion_n be_v that_o this_o consciousness_n be_v annex_v to_o the_o affection_n of_o one_o individual_a immaterial_a substance_n it_o be_v very_o well_o that_o it_o be_v allow_v to_o be_v the_o more_o probable_a opinion_n but_o it_o seem_v without_o any_o certainty_n as_o to_o the_o truth_n of_o it_o for_o you_o have_v tell_v we_o what_o the_o effect_n of_o probability_n be_v 1_o viz._n that_o it_o be_v enough_o to_o induce_v the_o mind_n to_o judge_v the_o proposition_n true_a or_o false_a rather_o than_o the_o contrary_a and_o that_o it_o be_v conversant_a about_o thing_n whereof_o we_o have_v no_o certainty_n 4._o but_o only_o some_o inducement_n to_o receive_v it_o for_o true_a thence_o i_o can_v but_o observe_v that_o we_o have_v no_o certainty_n upon_o your_o ground_n that_o self-consciousness_n depend_v upon_o a_o individual_a immaterial_a substance_n and_o consequent_o that_o a_o material_a substance_n may_v according_a to_o your_o principle_n have_v self-consciousness_n in_o it_o at_o least_o that_o you_o be_v not_o certain_a of_o the_o contrary_n now_o i_o pray_v consider_v whether_o this_o do_v not_o a_o little_a affect_v the_o whole_a article_n of_o the_o resurrection_n for_o if_o it_o may_v be_v only_o a_o material_a substance_n in_o we_o that_o think_v than_o this_o substance_n which_o consist_v in_o the_o life_n of_o a_o organise_v body_n must_v cease_v by_o death_n for_o how_o can_v that_o which_o consist_v in_o life_n be_v preserve_v afterward_o and_o if_o the_o personal_a identity_n consist_v in_o a_o self-consciousness_n depend_v on_o such_o a_o substance_n as_o can_v be_v preserve_v without_o a_o organise_v body_n than_o there_o be_v no_o subsistence_n of_o it_o separate_v from_o the_o body_n and_o the_o resurrection_n must_v be_v give_v a_o new_a life_n to_o who_o to_o a_o material_a substance_n which_o whole_o lose_v its_o personal_a identity_n by_o death_n so_o that_o here_o can_v be_v no_o personal_a identity_n at_o all_o unless_o you_o say_v the_o very_a same_o life_n which_o be_v long_o since_o at_o a_o end_n can_v be_v reproduced_a which_o i_o suppose_v you_o will_v not_o

the_o question_n be_v how_o far_o the_o scripture_n determine_v the_o sameness_n of_o the_o body_n at_o the_o resurrection_n i._n e._n of_o that_o material_a substance_n which_o be_v vital_o unite_v
