thousand_o of_o year_n from_o the_o world_n beginning_n that_o notion_n be_v not_o receive_v or_o know_v among_o men._n p._n 131._o the_o doctor_n be_v opposer_n say_v the_o opinion_n of_o the_o

of_o the_o world_n to_o this_o i_o say_v the_o opinion_n of_o the_o soul_n immortality_n have_v not_o such_o a_o consent_n and_o that_o such_o a_o consent_n neither_o have_v be_v or_o can_v be_v

universality_n and_o perpetuity_n of_o any_o opinion_n we_o may_v safe_o conclude_v upon_o the_o verity_n of_o it_o hereunto_o i_o answer_v that_o the_o opinion_n of_o the_o sun_n diurnal_a motion_n about_o the_o earth_n have_v a_o great_a antiquity_n and_o as_o great_a a_o universality_n and_o have_v still_o as_o strong_a a_o perpetuity_n as_o that_o of_o the_o soul_n immortality_n either_o

doctor_n begin_v to_o produce_v and_o urge_v his_o second_o moral_a argument_n for_o the_o soul_n immortality_n from_o the_o desire_v man_n have_v of_o perpetuity_n and_o live_n after_o their_o death_n either_o in_o their_o own_o proper_a being_n or_o in_o the_o memory_n of_o such_o as_o survive_v their_o departure_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o if_o they_o desire_v a_o perpetuity_n of_o their_o own_o be_v after_o death_n it_o seem_v they_o desire_v that_o which_o they_o can_v attain_v as_o all_o man_n may_v and_o do_v desire_v a_o perpetual_a youth_n health_n and_o prosperity_n nature_n and_o reason_n both_o assure_v we_o that_o no_o man_n do_v or_o can_v desire_v a_o perpetual_a or_o a_o long_a life_n under_o great_a pain_n and_o suffering_n but_o a_o life_n with_o happiness_n be_v very_o acceptable_a to_o all_o man_n and_o therefore_o they_o do_v not_o desire_v life_n alone_o but_o as_o it_o be_v join_v with_o expectation_n or_o hope_n of_o happiness_n and_o hence_o i_o collect_v that_o the_o much_o great_a part_n of_o mankind_n which_o the_o sinful_a world_n known_o be_v do_v not_o desire_v a_o future_a state_n of_o life_n after_o death_n but_o rather_o that_o there_o be_v no_o be_v for_o they_o after_o this_o life_n and_o will_v very_o much_o wish_v to_o be_v forget_v both_o by_o god_n and_o man_n and_o therefore_o a_o perpetuity_n of_o be_v be_v not_o desire_v or_o so_o much_o desirable_a as_o our_o doctor_n pretend_v it_o to_o be_v whence_o i_o conceive_v the_o doctor_n be_v argument_n draw_v from_o this_o topick_n have_v but_o little_a force_n or_o cohersion_n in_o it_o and_o not_o strength_n enough_o to_o compel_v or_o even_o to_o draw_v man_n to_o a_o coherence_n with_o the_o doctor_n in_o his_o opinion_n of_o the_o soul_n immortality_n p._n 145._o here_o the_o doctor_n propound_v his_o three_o moral_a argument_n for_o prove_v the_o soul_n immortality_n and_o raise_v it_o from_o god_n divine_a justice_n and_o his_o equitable_a deal_n with_o man_n and_o say_v it_o be_v common_o observe_v wicked_a man_n prosper_v better_a in_o this_o world_n than_o the_o righteous_a usual_o do_v and_o consequent_o that_o such_o man_n be_v not_o reward_v according_a to_o their_o work_n whilst_o they_o live_v and_o therefore_o god_n just_a deal_n with_o man_n can_v be_v defend_v without_o allow_v and_o believe_v a_o state_n of_o reward_n and_o punishment_n after_o death_n and_o from_o hence_o say_v the_o doctor_n it_o must_v unavoidable_o follow_v that_o reward_n and_o punishment_n will_v be_v distribute_v to_o man_n after_o their_o departure_n out_o of_o this_o life_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o i_o agree_v to_o all_o that_o the_o doctor_n have_v here_o deliver_v the_o doctor_n reply_v if_o you_o so_o do_v you_o must_v likewise_o agree_v to_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o soul_n immortality_n or_o the_o separate_a subsistence_n of_o it_o for_o the_o body_n after_o death_n be_v not_o capable_a of_o receive_v reward_n or_o punishment_n it_o must_v therefore_o be_v the_o soul_n alone_o unto_o which_o such_o reward_n and_o punishment_n can_v be_v apply_v our_o doctor_n not_o once_o mention_v or_o

of_o the_o just_a and_o now_o i_o demand_v one_o text_n of_o scripture_n to_o be_v produce_v where_o it_o be_v say_v that_o man_n for_o their_o good_a work_n do_v in_o this_o world_n shall_v be_v

before_o that_o there_o be_v no_o mention_n in_o scripture_n of_o such_o expectation_n at_o or_o soon_o after_o the_o time_n of_o man_n death_n he_o give_v we_o here_o three_o of_o the_o most_o

these_o instance_n have_v before_o be_v obstruct_v by_o those_o answer_n which_o have_v be_v several_o give_v they_o in_o their_o proper_a place_n i_o be_o not_o without_o some_o temptation_n of_o draw_v out_o of_o the_o scripture_n a_o catalogue_n of_o such_o text_n as_o do_v with_o great_a evidence_n and_o strength_n set_v forth_o and_o prove_v that_o the_o time_n of_o the_o resurrection_n

spirit_n which_o act_n the_o person_n and_o as_o well_o the_o head_n as_o the_o member_n so_o long_o as_o life_n continue_v in_o the_o body_n next_o to_o which_o the_o breath_n have_v a_o principal_a and_o absolute_o necessary_a faculty_n and_o power_n of_o fan_v and_o inflame_v such_o particle_n of_o the_o blood_n as_o be_v employ_v in_o every_o part_n of_o the_o body_n and_o for_o refrigerate_v the_o internal_a part_n of_o the_o body_n with_o a_o perpetual_a refreshment_n which_o keep_v the_o paristaltick_a motion_n always_o in_o action_n among_o the_o inward_a and_o most_o vital_a part_n of_o the_o body_n whence_o daily_a experience_n assure_v we_o that_o by_o stop_v of_o the_o breath_n but_o for_o some_o few_o moment_n the_o spirit_n of_o life_n in_o man_n become_v absolute_o suffocate_v and_o extinguish_v and_o without_o breath_n no_o humane_a art_n or_o power_n can_v prolong_v the_o life_n of_o the_o person_n or_o other_o animal_n whatsoever_o concern_v nutriment_n it_o be_v only_o so_o far_o necessary_a to_o the_o life_n of_o the_o creature_n as_o the_o blood_n thereof_o waste_v and_o be_v consume_v by_o the_o circular_a continual_a motion_n and_o the_o

so_o faint_a as_o that_o in_o such_o person_n there_o need_v no_o nutriment_n in_o a_o long_a time_n for_o restore_v the_o waste_n of_o blood_n in_o such_o person_n but_o in_o ordinary_a way_n of_o live_v our_o experience_n assure_v we_o that_o if_o the_o daily_a waste_n of_o blood_n be_v not_o supply_v by_o nourishment_n suitable_a to_o the_o consumption_n thereof_o the_o person_n must_v diminish_v in_o his_o strength_n and_o vigour_n and_o final_o perish_v and_o die_v for_o want_v of_o such_o sustenance_n as_o shall_v restore_v the_o stock_n of_o the_o waste_a blood_n and_o furnish_v the_o several_a part_n with_o such_o moisture_n and_o refreshment_n as_o thereunto_o shall_v be_v absolute_o needful_a and_o require_v we_o find_v a_o instance_n of_o this_o condition_n in_o david_n

in_o three_o day_n and_o night_n before_o but_o upon_o administer_a fresh_a sustenance_n to_o his_o waste_a spirit_n they_o become_v restore_v in_o great_a measure_n to_o their_o former_a activity_n which_o i_o conceive_v happen_v to_o he_o as_o it_o may_v do_v in_o the_o case_n of_o a_o lamp_n who_o oil_n be_v spend_v and_o exhaust_v the_o light_n will_v first_o grow_v dim_a and_o be_v ready_a to_o fail_v and_o be_v extinguish_v but_o be_v refresh_v by_o more_o oil_n administer_v to_o it_o it_o will_v soon_o recover_v the_o flame_n and_o light_n which_o it_o have_v before_o the_o text_n

all_o of_o a_o like_a nature_n the_o spirit_n of_o the_o two_o former_a be_v not_o quite_o extinguish_v as_o that_o of_o elijah_n child_n be_v but_o upon_o the_o revival_n of_o they_o all_o it_o be_v say_v their_o spirit_n come_v to_o they_o again_o which_o i_o think_v may_v signify_v the_o rekindle_n or_o recontinue_v of_o that_o flame_n of_o life_n in_o their_o blood_n which_o we_o call_v the_o vital_a flame_n and_o whereby_o the_o humane_a machine_n or_o microcosm_n be_v put_v in_o motion_n and_o act_v so_o long_o as_o it_o please_v god_n to_o continue_v life_n unto_o it_o in_o the_o case_n of_o the_o egyptian_a at_o ziklag_n we_o may_v perceive_v that_o present_o upon_o the_o come_n of_o his_o spirit_n to_o he_o again_o the_o activity_n and_o use_v of_o all_o his_o sensation_n return_v

i_o think_v we_o may_v reasonable_o collect_v that_o the_o original_a of_o act_v and_o understanding_n may_v proceed_v from_o the_o activity_n and_o motion_n of_o the_o blood_n and_o the_o inflame_a

the_o continual_a assistance_n of_o every_o one_o of_o they_o i_o pretend_v to_o apply_v they_o to_o those_o different_a sort_n of_o spirit_n about_o which_o we_o be_v now_o dispute_v and_o therein_o if_o we_o shall_v proceed_v and_o make_v application_n of_o they_o to_o the_o extraneous_a telligent_a and_o separate_a spirit_n which_o mr._n w._n maintain_v to_o be_v the_o spirit_n of_o life_n in_o
