in_o live_a creature_n but_o by_o division_n and_o that_o that_o same_o can_v happen_v but_o two_o way_n viz._n either_o by_o divide_v the_o matter_n from_o the_o form_n or_o by_o divide_v the_o matter_n within_o itself_o they_o infer_v thence_o that_o since_o both_o these_o way_n be_v incompatible_a with_o the_o soul_n she_o be_v not_o capable_a of_o a_o real_a change_n and_o consequent_o not_o of_o death_n which_o of_o all_o other_o be_v the_o great_a not_o the_o first_o because_o that_o she_o be_v immaterial_a nor_o the_o second_o because_o she_o be_v a_o pure_a form_n and_o that_o all_o form_n be_v by_o their_o be_v so_o incapable_a of_o division_n of_o increase_n or_o diminution_n according_a unto_o these_o two_o maxim_n among_o they_o forma_fw-la non_fw-la suscipit_fw-la

or_o judgement_n and_o all_o those_o science_n and_o art_n whether_o speculative_a or_o practic_a which_o be_v in_o the_o soul_n during_o this_o life_n shall_v remain_v also_o in_o she_o after_o her_o

something_o of_o the_o perfection_n of_o her_o be_v and_o to_o conclude_v because_o they_o see_v nothing_o among_o all_o the_o work_n of_o nature_n which_o do_v not_o at_o some_o time_n or_o other_o unless_o it_o be_v hinder_v by_o exterior_a cause_n attain_v unto_o a_o fullness_n and_o maturity_n whereby_o it_o be_v enable_v to_o reach_v that_o end_n for_o which_o it_o be_v ordain_v and_o find_v the_o reasonable_a soul_n alone_o which_o have_v for_o the_o object_n of_o her_o understanding_n the_o truth_n of_o all_o natural_a cause_n and_o their_o effect_n be_v not_o able_a at_o any_o time_n during_o this_o life_n wherein_o she_o be_v unite_v with_o the_o body_n to_o comprehend_v the_o utmost_a truth_n may_v be_v discover_v in_o any_o art_n or_o science_n whatsoever_o they_o thence_o infer_v that_o she_o be_v to_o enjoy_v a_o being_n after_o the_o dissolution_n of_o the_o body_n wherein_o she_o may_v at_o freedom_n exercise_v the_o power_n of_o reason_v wherewith_o she_o be_v endue_v and_o not_o only_o retain_v those_o science_n she_o have_v acquire_v here_o but_o also_o be_v able_a to_o conceive_v all_o other_o truth_n and_o knowledge_n whatsoever_o which_o may_v be_v deduce_v out_o of_o they_o by_o that_o concatenation_n and_o dependence_n which_o the_o verity_n of_o one_o proposition_n have_v upon_o that_o of_o another_o i_o have_v deliver_v these_o speculation_n of_o the_o philosopher_n with_o this_o brevity_n without_o set_v down_o the_o many_o argument_n use_v by_o they_o for_o proof_n of_o their_o assertion_n and_o answer_v of_o the_o objection_n have_v

of_o christian_a religion_n the_o truth_n whereof_o be_v reveal_v by_o god_n himself_o be_v not_o to_o be_v dispute_v by_o mankind_n and_o i_o have_v take_v this_o short_a view_n of_o the_o condition_n of_o our_o soul_n only_o to_o this_o intent_n that_o in_o the_o sequel_n of_o the_o ensue_a discourse_n we_o may_v upon_o these_o ground_n be_v able_a the_o better_a to_o discover_v how_o
