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 appear_v at_o all_o to_o think_v upon_o the_o last_o article_n of_o our_o creed_n i_o believe_v the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o dead_a and_o the_o life_n everlasting_a which_o seem_v to_o my_o understanding_n a_o sort_n of_o proof_n that_o he_o and_o the_o great_a part_n of_o those_o who_o believe_v and_o maintain_v the_o soul_n immortality_n be_v very_o little_a mindful_a of_o our_o
