signify_v in_o a_o former_a time_n and_o that_o a_o former_a time_n can_v not_o be_v unless_o god_n have_v create_v it_o your_o other_o supposition_n too_o of_o god_n create_v and_o anihilate_v soul_n proceed_v from_o a_o unworthy_a apprehension_n of_o almighty_a god_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v make_v and_o destroy_v spirit_n only_o to_o show_v trick_n they_o have_v no_o more_o difficulty_n to_o be_v

say_v to_o st._n peter_n soul_n and_o the_o soul_n of_o st._n teresa_n have_v not_o st._n peter_n a_o great_a duration_n than_o st._n teresa_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v what_o be_v immediate_o loose_v out_o of_o god_n almighty_n hand_n have_v no_o respect_n to_o time_n but_o be_v create_v for_o eternity_n as_o the_o world_n and_o the_o angel_n be_v but_o what_o god_n do_v by_o the_o mediation_n of_o creature_n take_v a_o tang_n from_o they_o and_o so_o have_v some_o savour_n of_o time_n from_o the_o very_a loose_a therefore_o soul_n when_o they_o go_v out_o of_o their_o body_n have_v a_o kind_n of_o individual_a difference_n from_o the_o cause_n and_o time_n by_o which_o they_o begin_v this_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o a_o difference_n when_o you_o compare_v one_o soul_n to_o another_o nothing_o if_o you_o compare_v the_o same_o soul_n to_o itself_o and_o out_o of_o this_o be_v take_v that_o diversity_n of_o duration_n which_o be_v find_v in_o several_a soul_n your_o next_o argument_n be_v from_o the_o time_n as_o the_o divine_n call_v it_o of_o the_o way_n of_o angel_n to_o bliss_n where_o you_o ask_v who_o have_v make_v evident_a that_o it_o can_v be_v do_v in_o one_o

why_o succession_n shall_v be_v necessary_a in_o the_o intrinsical_a operation_n of_o angel_n your_o three_o argument_n consist_v of_o some_o expression_n cite_v out_o of_o scripture_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v if_o you_o bring_v any_o text_n of_o the_o thought_n of_o angel_n i_o shall_v yield_v but_o if_o they_o be_v only_o of_o outward_a action_n those_o be_v measure_v by_o time_n as_o by_o twenty_o day_n etc._n etc._n and_o so_o argue_v no_o special_a duration_n in_o the_o inward_a act_n of_o angel_n those_o cry_n of_o the_o martyr_n under_o the_o altar_n be_v so_o plain_o allegorical_a that_o it_o be_v lose_v time_n to_o show_v they_o signify_v nothing_o of_o importance_n to_o our_o controversy_n in_o the_o 31_o section_n you_o say_v it_o be_v groundless_o assume_v that_o the_o identification_n of_o the_o body_n and_o soul_n be_v require_v for_o the_o action_n of_o a_o bodily_a agent_n upon_o the_o soul_n and_o i_o can_v deny_v you_o have_v say_v it_o but_o one_o that_o have_v speak_v like_o a_o philosopher_n will_v have_v bring_v the_o seem_a ground_n on_o which_o it_o be_v build_v and_o show_v the_o vanity_n of_o they_o and_o not_o oppose_v his_o bare_a word_n against_o another_o reason_n you_o ask_v who_o ever_o fancy_v such_o a_o identity_n betwixt_o the_o body_n and_o soul_n i_o answer_v nobody_o no_o more_o than_o they_o can_v fancy_v that_o part_n be_v not_o actu_fw-la in_fw-la continuo_fw-la but_o as_o aristotle_n and_o st._n thomas_n have_v raise_v their_o speculation_n above_o fancy_n and_o understand_v this_o and_o teach_v it_o their_o scholar_n so_o have_v the_o church_n do_v about_o this_o identification_n of_o the_o body_n and_o soul_n if_o the_o notion_n of_o forma_fw-la corporis_fw-la be_v right_o comprehend_v then_o you_o demand_v who_o ever_o believe_v our_o soul_n in_o this_o life_n be_v true_o and_o real_o our_o body_n and_o our_o body_n our_o soul_n nobody_o sir_n that_o i_o know_v of_o be_v so_o gross_o senseless_a and_o so_o i_o think_v you_o be_v at_o the_o end_n of_o your_o argument_n now_o let_v we_o see_v your_o belief_n which_o be_v that_o the_o soul_n and_o body_n as_o two_o distinct_a part_n concur_v to_o the_o build_n up_o of_o one_o man_n who_o be_v one_o not_o by_o simplicity_n nor_o identification_n of_o the_o part_n but_o by_o substantial_a union_n or_o composition_n o_o how_o gay_a a_o thing_n it_o

that_o be_v not_o many_o substance_n or_o thing_n and_o if_o there_o be_v not_o true_o many_o substance_n or_o thing_n the_o part_n of_o this_o true_o one_o be_v not_o distinguish_v real_o into_o

the_o thing_n be_v but_o one_o thing_n all_o that_o be_v speak_v of_o that_o thing_n signify_v nothing_o but_o that_o thing_n so_o that_o the_o man_n be_v body_n according_a to_o the_o signification_n of_o one_o word_n another_o word_n will_v signify_v he_o as_o he_o be_v soul_n another_o as_o he_o have_v the_o virtue_n of_o hold_v and_o so_o he_o will_v be_v a_o hand_n another_o as_o he_o have_v the_o virtue_n of_o walk_v and_o that_o will_v speak_v of_o he_o by_o the_o name_n of_o foot_n and_o all_o this_o be_v but_o one_o thing_n which_o we_o call_v man_n now_o sir_n this_o be_v a_o catholic_n verity_n define_v by_o ancient_a council_n in_o the_o unity_n of_o a_o person_n that_o be_v a_o individual_a substance_n or_o thing_n against_o the_o nestorian_n the_o same_o be_v do_v in_o latter_a time_n under_o the_o notion_n of_o our_o soul_n be_v true_o the_o form_n or_o give_v the_o denomination_n of_o be_v a_o thing_n now_o the_o difference_n betwixt_o we_o be_v that_o you_o

necessary_a for_o a_o soul_n to_o suffer_v from_o the_o body_n for_o who_o say_v you_o shall_v render_v it_o evident_a that_o in_o the_o state_n of_o separation_n by_o the_o omnipotent_a hand_n of_o

that_o see_v a_o action_n can_v be_v elevate_v unless_o it_o be_v that_o be_v fire_n can_v burn_v violent_o unless_o it_o burn_v and_o that_o the_o action_n of_o fire_n can_v have_v no_o place_n in_o a_o spirit_n which_o it_o can_v divide_v or_o burn_v neither_o may_v it_o be_v elevate_v to_o torment_v a_o separate_a soul_n your_o 32_o section_n tell_v we_o it_o be_v a_o pure_o voluntary_a and_o

redemption_n of_o their_o friend_n out_o of_o purgatory_n which_o i_o believe_v be_v those_o you_o speak_v of_o that_o hear_v not_o of_o this_o doctrine_n without_o horror_n therefore_o acute_a sir_n you_o will_v or_o may_v see_v that_o your_o argument_n be_v two_o edge_a and_o as_o the_o auditor_n you_o speak_v of_o do_v not_o distinguish_v the_o degree_n of_o assent_n to_o this_o position_n from_o that_o they_o give_v to_o faith_n so_o neither_o do_v they_o make_v any_o difference_n between_o it_o and_o the_o slight_a assent_n they_o have_v thus_o may_v your_o adversary_n by_o your_o
