who_o religion_n in_o all_o other_o thing_n be_v direct_o opposite_a must_v have_v without_o doubt_v some_o common_a foundation_n and_o it_o can_v be_v common_a in_o such_o sort_n as_o it_o be_v unless_o it_o be_v establish_v even_o in_o the_o very_a nature_n of_o thing_n so_o that_o although_o it_o be_v not_o possible_a clear_o and_o distinct_o to_o explicate_v the_o reason_n of_o it_o yet_o they_o may_v be_v sufficient_o see_v dark_o and_o in_o gross_a to_o impress_v upon_o the_o mind_n a_o indelible_a persuasion_n of_o it_o for_o there_o be_v multitude_n of_o person_n that_o will_v find_v themselves_o much_o perplex_v if_o you_o shall_v oblige_v they_o to_o discourse_v particular_o the_o reason_n that_o have_v persuade_v they_o that_o there_o be_v a_o natural_a difference_n between_o vice_n and_o virtue_n the_o most_o able_a among_o the_o philosopher_n have_v find_v some_o difficulty_n in_o free_v themselves_o from_o the_o natural_a reason_n that_o do_v either_o prove_v or_o deny_v the_o immortality_n of_o our_o soul_n and_o among_o christian_n there_o be_v none_o but_o spirit_n much_o exercise_v in_o discourse_n which_o be_v fit_a by_o natural_a reason_n to_o dispute_v for_o the_o be_v and_o providence_n of_o a_o god_n against_o atheist_n and_o yet_o nevertheless_o these_o thing_n prove_v themselves_o so_o smart_o to_o our_o understanding_n that_o the_o ignorant_a and_o vulgar_a themselves_o have_v a_o abhorrence_n for_o those_o that_o make_v any_o doubt_n of_o they_o certain_o the_o holy_a scripture_n as_o i_o say_v in_o the_o beginning_n be_v the_o only_a place_n from_o whence_o we_o may_v draw_v light_n sufficient_o clear_a to_o persuade_v ourselves_o of_o this_o truth_n by_o a_o persuasion_n that_o will_v deserve_v the_o name_n of_o faith_n and_o may_v be_v capable_a of_o give_v any_o sound_a consolation_n to_o our_o conscience_n but_o nevertheless_o i_o shall_v not_o scruple_n to_o say_v that_o if_o the_o holy_a scripture_n have_v not_o speak_v it_o so_o clear_o the_o belief_n of_o the_o immortality_n of_o our_o soul_n will_v have_v be_v sufficient_a to_o have_v satisfy_v our_o reason_n that_o they_o make_v use_v of_o their_o faculty_n though_o the_o body_n shall_v supply_v no_o organ_n unto_o they_o for_o it_o be_v easy_a to_o conceive_v that_o there_o be_v in_o man_n whilst_o he_o be_v compound_v of_o soul_n and_o body_n a_o understand_a faculty_n which_o for_o some_o space_n of_o time_n do_v not_o exercise_v its_o own_o proper_a operation_n since_o this_o conjunction_n be_v make_v in_o such_o sort_n that_o the_o

mediation_n when_o the_o organ_n come_v to_o be_v disorder_v or_o hinder_v it_o be_v necessary_a that_o the_o operation_n of_o the_o mind_n do_v cease_v of_o themselves_o but_o that_o there_o be_v a_o substance_n that_o do_v actual_o exist_v separate_v from_o the_o body_n which_o be_v endue_v with_o a_o understand_a faculty_n and_o nevertheless_o can_v use_v it_o because_o it_o have_v no_o body_n be_v a_o thing_n in_o my_o apprehension_n absolute_o inconceivable_a for_o it_o can_v actual_o exist_v unless_o it_o live_v nor_o can_v we_o conceive_v any_o sort_n of_o life_n in_o it_o which_o do_v not_o include_v in_o the_o same_o thought_n the_o use_n of_o its_o faculty_n you_o may_v easy_o conceive_v that_o the_o body_n live_v though_o the_o man_n do_v neither_o see_v nor_o discourse_n because_o life_n may_v subsist_v in_o a_o man_n without_o see_v or_o discourse_v but_o you_o can_v imagine_v that_o the_o body_n of_o a_o man_n live_v but_o you_o must_v likewise_o imagine_v that_o it_o be_v nourish_v and_o that_o his_o heart_n beat_v or_o at_o least_o that_o the_o spirit_n have_v some_o heat_n and_o motion_n in_o the_o seat_n of_o life_n so_o that_o the_o faculty_n wherein_o life_n consist_v will_v move_v and_o act_n though_o all_o the_o rest_n shall_v be_v lay_v to_o sleep_v in_o the_o reasonable_a soul_n then_o when_o it_o be_v separate_v from_o the_o body_n what_o power_n will_v act_v if_o it_o have_v no_o use_n of_o that_o of_o the_o understanding_n for_o there_o be_v in_o they_o no_o power_n vital_a animal_n or_o natural_a like_a to_o those_o of_o our_o

understanding_n there_o be_v no_o reason_n to_o imagine_v that_o it_o will_v have_v any_o power_n of_o remove_v itself_o from_o one_o place_n to_o another_o a_o thing_n whereunto_o nature_n itself_o will_v furnish_v we_o with_o a_o testimony_n sufficient_o evident_a and_o authentic_a in_o as_o much_o as_o it_o have_v not_o give_v to_o any_o live_a creature_n this_o power_n of_o move_v itself_o unless_o it_o be_v to_o animal_n endue_v with_o phantasy_n and_o certain_a appetite_n which_o do_v necessary_o require_v the_o removal_n of_o the_o body_n for_o their_o satisfaction_n in_o such_o manner_n that_o if_o there_o be_v in_o the_o soul_n neither_o understanding_n nor_o appetite_n it_o will_v be_v against_o all_o reason_n to_o imagine_v in_o it_o any_o use_n of_o the_o locomotive_a
