of_o the_o vital_a flame_n not_o of_o the_o soul_n i_o say_v that_o it_o be_v a_o extinction_n of_o that_o vital_a flame_n which_o i_o conceive_v to_o be_v the_o soul_n or_o spirit_n or_o the_o

the_o soul_n whence_o it_o seem_v to_o i_o that_o he_o be_v resolve_v to_o maintain_v the_o subsistence_n of_o the_o soul_n after_o the_o death_n of_o the_o person_n although_o the_o nature_n and_o

that_o his_o belief_n of_o the_o soul_n immortality_n be_v ground_v first_o upon_o faith_n and_o divine_a authority_n as_o he_o think_v and_o be_v thus_o full_o persuade_v of_o the_o truth_n of_o

soul_n in_o scripture_n do_v divers_a time_n signify_v the_o vehement_a desire_n or_o affection_n of_o the_o person_n but_o i_o do_v not_o remember_v that_o the_o word_n soul_n be_v any_o where_o

in_o hell_n and_o those_o which_o luke_n mention_n fear_v he_o who_o after_o he_o have_v kill_v have_v power_n to_o east_n into_o hell_n i_o conceive_v the_o difference_n to_o be_v small_a or_o none_o at_o all_o they_o both_o begin_v our_o lord_n doctrine_n in_o the_o same_o word_n fear_v not_o they_o that_o kill_v the_o body_n where_o they_o both_o speak_v figurative_o and_o i_o therefore_o believe_v our_o lord_n himself_o do_v so_o but_o i_o say_v the_o body_n in_o this_o place_n must_v needs_o intend_v the_o person_n or_o the_o compositum_fw-la of_o soul_n and_o body_n together_o for_o that_o our_o sense_n and_o reason_n sufficient_o assure_v we_o that_o what_o be_v dead_a can_v be_v kill_v but_o the_o body_n without_o the_o soul_n or_o spirit_n of_o life_n be_v dead_a and_o

so_o as_o it_o seem_v the_o sense_n of_o both_o our_o evangelist_n be_v the_o same_o both_o in_o the_o premise_n and_o in_o the_o conclusion_n of_o this_o doctrine_n and_o the_o variance_n between_o

st._n luke_n if_o we_o shall_v consider_v the_o proper_a intent_n of_o both_o these_o text_n we_o must_v find_v it_o to_o be_v as_o mr._n w._n say_v the_o encourage_n of_o our_o lord_n disciple_n not_o to_o fear_v the_o persecution_n of_o man_n for_o the_o do_v of_o their_o duty_n but_o rather_o to_o fear_n god_n who_o can_v punish_v and_o reward_v after_o death_n as_o well_o as_o in_o this_o

clear_a to_o my_o understanding_n st._n matthew_n word_n prove_v his_o opinion_n to_o be_v that_o humane_a soul_n have_v a_o life_n and_o subsistence_n in_o a_o state_n of_o separation_n from_o the_o body_n and_o i_o conceive_v that_o in_o his_o text_n he_o word_v our_o lord_n doctrine_n according_a to_o his_o own_o opinion_n of_o the_o thing_n we_o find_v that_o st._n luke_n have_v word_v it_o in_o a_o different_a and_o varient_fw-la manner_n so_o express_v our_o lord_n doctrine_n as_o that_o he_o give_v no_o ground_n for_o prove_v the_o soul_n separate_a subsistence_n from_o his_o text_n which_o in_o the_o whole_a tenor_n of_o it_o do_v not_o name_v the_o soul_n and_o therefore_o upon_o this_o difference_n i_o think_v it_o needful_a to_o inquire_v or_o demand_v what_o be_v the_o very_a precise_a word_n wherein_o our_o lord_n deliver_v this_o doctrine_n if_o st._n matthew_n have_v right_o word_v this_o doctrine_n than_o it_o be_v a_o strong_a proof_n of_o the_o soul_n

that_o of_o st._n matthew_n the_o point_n in_o question_n concern_v the_o separate_a subsistence_n be_v as_o be_v say_v collateral_a to_o the_o intent_n of_o our_o lord_n in_o this_o doctrine_n who_o it_o seem_v do_v not_o here_o mean_a to_o teach_v any_o thing_n which_o may_v direct_v man_n judgement_n in_o that_o collateral_a point_n which_o remain_v utter_o unmentioned_a in_o the_o text_n of_o

our_o lord_n then_o deliver_v the_o intent_n of_o our_o lord_n seem_v plain_a in_o both_o those_o text_n and_o therein_o what_o have_v be_v say_v seem_v true_a they_o be_v at_o a_o perfect_a

therefore_o i_o surmise_v it_o come_v into_o st._n mathew_n text_n by_o accident_n and_o spring_v rather_o from_o his_o own_o opinion_n than_o from_o our_o lord_n doctrine_n or_o the_o word_n and_o

after_o the_o departure_n and_o death_n of_o the_o person_n but_o of_o st._n luke_n we_o read_v that_o he_o be_v a_o learned_a man_n and_o a_o physician_n and_o paul_n from_o who_o mouth_n he_o be_v

this_o matter_n of_o the_o soul_n separate_a subsistence_n which_o if_o our_o lord_n have_v mention_v in_o this_o doctrine_n i_o conceive_v they_o will_v not_o have_v fail_v to_o take_v great_a

and_o be_v not_o otherways_o the_o very_a true_a expression_n and_o word_n wherein_o our_o lord_n deliver_v this_o doctrine_n to_o his_o disciple_n and_o therefore_o i_o be_o apt_a to_o appeal_v from_o the_o text_n of_o st._n matthew_n to_o that_o which_o be_v report_v to_o we_o in_o the_o text_n of_o st._n luke_n gospel_n three_o i_o conceive_v that_o the_o text_n of_o st._n luke_n word_v

hitherto_o dispute_v between_o we_o but_o the_o best_a proof_n which_o he_o bring_v thereof_o be_v his_o own_o supposal_n that_o the_o apostle_n know_v it_o to_o be_v so_o separable_a and_o thereupon_o he_o say_v the_o apostle_n think_v there_o be_v some_o such_o part_n of_o himself_o as_o may_v be_v separable_a from_o his_o body_n for_o no_o man_n can_v ever_o doubt_v the_o be_v of_o a_o thing_n which_o he_o know_v be_v uncapable_a to_o be_v and_o hereupon_o he_o think_v the_o apostle_n do_v evident_o suppose_v his_o soul_n be_v capable_a of_o be_v out_o of_o the_o body_n which_o amount_v to_o thus_o much_o that_o he_o suppose_v the_o apostle_n suppose_v the_o thing_n to_o be_v as_o he_o will_v have_v it_o whereas_o in_o the_o text_n we_o find_v no_o mention_n of_o such_o

from_o another_o spring_v from_o his_o own_o pregnant_a invention_n without_o find_v any_o good_a ground_n for_o it_o in_o the_o text_n or_o that_o st._n paul_n do_v by_o his_o word_n either_o in_o
