A27428	The folly and unreasonableness of atheism demonstrated from the advantage and pleasure of a religious life, the faculties of humane souls, the structure of animate bodies, & the origin and frame of the world : in eight sermons preached at the lecture founded by ... Robert BOyle, Esquire, in the first year MDCXCII / by Richard Bentley ...	Bentley, Richard, 1662-1742.	1699 (1699)	Wing B1931; ESTC R21357	132,610	286

the_o heart_n then_o have_v be_v form_v and_o constitute_v before_o the_o blood_n be_v in_o be_v but_o here_o again_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o heart_n itself_o be_v most_o certain_o make_v and_o

now_o if_o such_o a_o slight_a and_o sorry_a business_n as_o that_o can_v produce_v a_o organical_a body_n one_o may_v reasonable_o expect_v that_o now_o and_o then_o a_o dead_a lump_n of_o doughty_n

all_o the_o other_o member_n preposterous_o place_v there_o can_v not_o be_v a_o like_a configuration_n of_o part_n in_o any_o two_o individual_n and_o again_o what_o be_v that_o which_o determine_v the_o growth_n of_o all_o live_a creature_n what_o principle_n of_o mechanism_n be_v sufficient_a to_o explain_v it_o why_o do_v not_o all_o animal_n continual_o increase_v in_o bigness_n during_o

we_o conceive_v it_o to_o be_v impossible_a and_o utter_o inexplicable_a and_o if_o any_o atheist_n will_v give_v a_o clear_a and_o philosophical_a account_n of_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v here_o

must_v allow_v therefore_o that_o body_n be_v endow_v with_o the_o same_o affection_n and_o tendency_n then_o as_o ever_o since_o and_o that_o if_o a_o ax-head_n be_v suppose_v to_o float_v upon_o

the_o present_a power_n of_o matter_n and_o the_o visible_a constitution_n of_o the_o world_n now_o that_o we_o may_v come_v to_o the_o point_n all_o matter_n be_v either_o fluid_a or_o solid_a in_o

intestine_a motion_n of_o the_o particle_n of_o body_n now_o the_o most_o cavil_v atheist_n must_v allow_v that_o a_o solid_a inanimate_a body_n while_o it_o remain_v in_o that_o state_n where_o there_o be_v none_o or_o a_o very_a small_a and_o inconsiderable_a change_n of_o texture_n be_v whole_o incapable_a of_o a_o vital_a production_n so_o that_o the_o first_o humane_a body_n without_o

the_o embryon_n if_o it_o be_v a_o make_n before_o now_o because_o all_o the_o part_n of_o a_o undisturbed_a fluid_n be_v either_o of_o equal_a gravity_n or_o gradual_o place_v and_o story_v according_a to_o the_o difference_n of_o it_o any_o concretion_n that_o can_v be_v suppose_v to_o be_v natural_o and_o mechanical_o make_v in_o such_o a_o fluid_a must_v have_v a_o like_a structure_n
