perceive_v by_o the_o sense_n i_o think_v i_o have_v prove_v the_o contrary_a already_o nevertheless_o let_v we_o examine_v their_o reason_n yet_o further_o the_o form_n or_o shape_n of_o every_o thing_n say_v they_o do_v perish_v with_o the_o matter_n now_o the_o soul_n be_v as_o you_o will_v say_v the_o form_n or_o shape_n of_o the_o body_n therefore_o it_o corrupt_v with_o the_o body_n this_o argument_n be_v right_o conclude_v if_o it_o be_v mean_v of_o the_o material_a form_n but_o i_o have_v prove_v that_o the_o soul_n be_v unmaterial_a and_o have_v a_o continuance_n of_o it_o self_n and_o indeed_o the_o more_o it_o be_v discharge_v of_o matter_n the_o more_o it_o retain_v his_o own_o peculiar_a form_n therefore_o the_o corruption_n of_o the_o matter_n touch_v not_o the_o foul_a at_o all_o again_o if_o man_n soul_n live_v say_v they_o after_o their_o body_n then_o be_v they_o infinite_a for_o the_o world_n be_v without_o beginning_n and_o without_o end_v and_o as_o we_o know_v nature_n can_v away_o with_o no_o infinite_a thing_n therefore_o they_o live_v not_o after_o their_o body_n yes_o say_v i_o for_o i_o have_v prove_v that_o the_o world_n have_v a_o beginning_n and_o that_o with_o so_o substantial_a reason_n as_o thou_o be_v not_o able_a to_o disprove_v therefore_o it_o follow_v that_o the_o inconvenience_n which_o thou_o allege_v can_v have_v no_o place_n another_o say_v if_o dead_a man_n soul_n live_v still_o why_o come_v they_o not_o to_o tell_v we_o so_o and_o he_o think_v he_o have_v stumble_v upon_o a_o wonderful_a subtle_a device_n but_o how_o do_v this_o follow_v in_o reason_n there_o have_v not_o come_v any_o man_n unto_o we_o from_o the_o indies_n a_o long_a time_n ergo_fw-la there_o be_v no_o indies_n may_v not_o the_o same_o argument_n serve_v as_o well_o to_o prove_v that_o we_o ourselves_o be_v not_o because_o we_o never_o go_v thither_o again_o what_o intercourse_n be_v there_o between_o thing_n that_o have_v body_n and_o thing_n that_o have_v no_o body_n or_o between_o heaven_n and_o earth_n consider_v that_o there_o be_v so_o small_a intercourse_n even_o between_o man_n which_o live_v under_o one

and_o less_o than_o the_o point_n of_o a_o needle_n on_o the_o other_o side_n he_o that_o be_v put_v in_o close_a prison_n how_o desirous_a soever_o he_o be_v can_v go_v out_o so_o that_o soul_n which_o be_v in_o the_o jarle_n of_o his_o sovereign_a lord_n god_n have_v no_o respite_n or_o sport_v time_n to_o come_v tell_v we_o what_o be_v do_v there_o unto_o the_o one_o the_o behold_n of_o

we_o will_v have_v god_n to_o send_v both_o the_o one_o and_o the_o other_o unto_o we_o to_o make_v we_o to_o believe_v as_o who_o will_v say_v it_o stand_v he_o great_o on_o hand_n to_o have_v we_o

if_o they_o have_v the_o like_a knowledge_n of_o they_o but_o let_v we_o let_v such_o vanity_n pass_v and_o come_v to_o the_o ground_n you_o bear_v we_o on_o hand_n say_v they_o that_o the_o soul_n

advise_o soul_n first_o averroes_n will_v needs_o bear_v aristotle_n on_o hand_n that_o aristotle_n be_v of_o that_o opinion_n let_v we_o see_v how_o this_o furnise_n of_o he_o can_v agree_v with_o the_o proposition_n which_o aristotle_n have_v leave_v we_o aristotle_n tell_v we_o that_o the_o soul_n be_v knit_v to_o the_o body_n as_o the_o form_n or_o shape_n to_o the_o matter_n that_o the_o soul_n have_v three_o chief_a power_n namely_o of_o life_n of_o sense_n and_o of_o understanding_n and_o that_o the_o understanding_n part_n contain_v in_o his_o power_n both_o the_o other_o two_o power_n as_o a_o five_o square_n contain_v both_o a_o foresquare_a and_o a_o triangle_n whereupon_o it_o follow_v soul_n that_o if_o any_o one_o of_o the_o three_o power_n of_o the_o soul_n be_v join_v to_o the_o body_n as_o a_o form_n to_o the_o matter_n all_o the_o three_o be_v join_v so_o to_o as_o which_o be_v all_o in_o one_o soul_n as_o in_o their_o root_n now_o averroes_n neither_o can_v nor_o will_v deny_v that_o the_o power_n of_o grow_v and_o of_o perceive_v by_o the_o sense_n be_v join_v after_o that_o manner_n to_o the_o body_n and_o therefore_o it_o follow_v that_o the_o understanding_n power_n be_v so_o join_v also_o and_o consequent_o that_o according_a to_o aristotle_n as_o everybody_o have_v his_o form_n soul_n so_o everybody_o have_v his_o soul_n the_o same_o aristotle_n find_v fault_n with_o the_o former_a philosopher_n for_o hold_v opinion_n that_o a_o soul_n may_v pass_v out_o of_o one_o man_n into_o another_o because_o say_v he_o that_o every_o certain_a soul_n must_v needs_o be_v apportion_v and_o appoint_v to_o some_o one_o certain_a body_n now_o look_v by_o what_o soul_n a_o man_n live_v by_o the_o same_o soul_n do_v he_o understand_v for_o it_o be_v but_o one_o soul_n endue_v with_o three_o divers_a ability_n as_o he_o himself_o teach_v open_o one_o understanding_n or_o mind_n therefore_o must_v according_a to_o aristotle_n work_v but_o in_o one_o several_a body_n and_o not_o in_o many_o body_n also_o according_a to_o aristotle_n a_o man_n and_o a_o beast_n agree_v in_o this_o that_o both_o of_o they_o have_v one_o sensitive_a power_n and_o one selfesame_a imagination_n of_o thing_n perceive_v by_o the_o sense_n and_o that_o they_o differ_v in_o this_o that_o man_n have_v yet_o further_o a_o mind_n and_o reason_n above_o the_o beast_n which_o thing_n the_o beast_n have_v not_o now_o if_o this_o understanding_n or_o mind_n be_v without_o the_o man_n as_o the_o sun_n be_v without_o the_o chamber_n that_o it_o shine_v into_o and_o enlighten_v than_o can_v he_o be_v call_v reasonable_a or_o endow_v with_o understanding_n neither_o do_v he_o consequent_o differ_v from_o a_o beast_n for_o the_o difference_n must_v be_v in_o nature_n and_o not_o in_o accident_n and_o so_o shall_v it_o ensue_v that_o aristotle_n foresay_a definition_n of_o a_o man_n be_v false_a as_o if_o he_o shall_v define_v a_o chamber_n by_o the_o shine_n of_o the_o sun_n into_o it_o or_o say_v that_o a_o dog_n differ_v not_o from_o a_o man_n in_o kind_n yea_o and_o that_o beast_n be_v capable_a of_o understanding_n for_o as_o much_o as_o they_o have_v imagination_n ready_a aforehand_o to_o receive_v the_o influence_n thereof_o as_o well_o as_o we_o but_o aristotle_n be_v always_o one_o in_o his_o define_v both_o of_o beast_n and_o of_o man_n and_o averroes_n also_o hold_v himself_o to_o it_o without_o doubt_v thereof_o at_o all_o this_o conclusion_n therefore_o can_v in_o any_o wise_a be_v uphold_v by_o such_o ground_n again_o if_o there_o be_v not_o in_o every_o several_a man_n a_o several_a mind_n but_o only_o one_o universal_a mind_n common_a to_o all_o man_n which_o become_v divers_a by_o the_o only_a diversity_n of_o

aristotle_n grant_v that_o we_o be_v not_o only_o divers_a live_a wight_n but_o also_o divers_a man_n and_o therefore_o he_o must_v needs_o mean_v also_o that_o we_o have_v not_o only_o divers_a

discourse_n concerning_o justice_n freewill_n the_o immortality_n of_o the_o soul_n the_o happy_a bliss_n the_o reward_n of_o the_o good_a and_o the_o pain_n of_o the_o wicked_a be_v utter_o

no_o continuance_n of_o themselves_o but_o only_o be_v as_o a_o shadow_n and_o vain_a fantasy_n but_o let_v aristotle_n alone_o for_o he_o have_v wrong_v and_o let_v we_o come_v to_o the_o matter_n
