then_o we_o must_v call_v to_o mind_n that_o which_o we_o have_v already_o touch_v elsewhere_o namely_o that_o see_v the_o body_n of_o man_n be_v compound_v of_o all_o the_o element_n it_o be_v therefore_o needful_a that_o the_o nourishment_n wherewith_o it_o be_v to_o be_v preserve_v &_o uphold_v shall_v participate_v of_o all_o the_o element_n to_o the_o end_n that_o all_o &_o every_o part_n of_o a_o man_n body_n shall_v be_v maintain_v &_o preserve_v by_o that_o which_o be_v like_a to_o itself_o therefore_o god_n have_v well_o provide_v to_o this_o purpose_n as_o we_o see_v in_o

together_o with_o those_o quality_n which_o it_o bring_v with_o itself_o if_o we_o desire_v drink_v only_o to_o refresh_v and_o to_o moisten_v the_o body_n and_o the_o meat_n it_o take_v pure_a water_n serve_v that_o turn_n which_o be_v common_a drink_n for_o all_o creature_n and_o sufficient_a for_o the_o whole_a life_n of_o man_n although_o there_o be_v no_o other_o beast_n but_o god_n

also_o more_o forceable_a to_o nourish_v they_o for_o if_o the_o question_n be_v of_o take_v sustenance_n either_o by_o meat_n or_o drink_v we_o must_v have_v such_o meat_n and_o drink_n as_o be_v

of_o the_o body_n the_o live_a creature_n will_v always_o have_v a_o appetite_n and_o never_o leave_v eat_v therefore_o god_n have_v so_o frame_v those_o creature_n which_o he_o have_v give_v to_o

what_o great_a joy_n or_o contentation_n can_v they_o have_v nay_o there_o be_v three_o thing_n that_o do_v great_o diminish_v their_o comfort_n the_o first_o be_v their_o doubt_v wherewith_o they_o

and_o content_v they_o and_o as_o for_o persuade_v themselves_o that_o there_o be_v no_o punishment_n for_o the_o wicked_a they_o be_v never_o able_a to_o do_v it_o for_o the_o same_o natural_a

virtue_n and_o vice_n thing_n honest_a and_o dishonest_a for_o if_o there_o be_v no_o reward_n either_o for_o the_o one_o or_o the_o other_o or_o if_o it_o be_v all_o one_o it_o follow_v either_o

that_o which_o i_o say_v derogate_v nothing_o from_o the_o nature_n &_o immortality_n of_o man_n soul_n for_o although_o it_o be_v place_v in_o that_o matter_n which_o be_v already_o prepare_v and_o

be_v this_o that_o god_n will_v admonish_v he_o not_o only_o by_o the_o whole_a frame_n and_o composition_n of_o his_o body_n and_o of_o all_o his_o member_n but_o also_o by_o his_o very_a skin_n

they_o and_o this_o agree_v very_o fit_o with_o that_o prayer_n 23._o which_o we_o hear_v already_o utter_v by_o saint_n paul_n touch_v the_o entire_a sanctification_n of_o the_o whole_a man_n who_o

such_o a_o substance_n and_o nature_n as_o dwell_v in_o a_o body_n apt_a and_o meet_a to_o receive_v life_n in_o i_o speak_v this_o purposely_o because_o all_o sort_n of_o body_n be_v not_o capable_a of_o soul_n and_o life_n and_o they_o that_o be_v capable_a be_v not_o yet_o capable_a of_o every_o kind_n of_o soul_n and_o life_n but_o only_o of_o such_o as_o be_v agreeable_a to_o their_o nature_n have_v those_o instrument_n in_o themselves_o which_o may_v be_v use_v by_o they_o according_a to_o their_o nature_n wherefore_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n must_v of_o necessity_n have_v another_o body_n

for_o good_a withnesse_n to_o assure_v we_o not_o only_o that_o soul_n be_v immortal_a but_o also_o that_o their_o body_n shall_v rise_v again_o and_o that_o god_n be_v of_o sufficient_a virtue_n &_o

of_o isaac_n and_o of_o jacob_n whereupon_o jesus_n christ_n conclude_v that_o abraham_n isaac_n and_o jacob_n do_v live_v yet_o after_o their_o death_n see_v god_n be_v the_o god_n of_o the_o live_n

&_o ground_v upon_o invincible_a reason_n for_o jesus_n christ_n have_v respect_n to_o the_o promise_v which_o god_n make_v to_o those_o holy_a patriarch_n of_o who_o he_o speak_v &_o which_o be_v

be_v of_o the_o same_o nature_n that_o the_o benefit_n be_v of_o which_o he_o must_v inherit_v wherefore_o see_v the_o course_n of_o man_n life_n be_v break_v off_o by_o death_n in_o regard_n of_o

in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n whereunto_o may_v be_v add_v further_o that_o see_v the_o soul_n of_o man_n be_v create_v not_o to_o live_v always_o without_o a_o body_n as_o the_o angel_n do_v nor_o

as_o of_o her_o lodging_n she_o shall_v once_o again_o return_v thither_o beside_o see_v the_o body_n have_v serve_v the_o soul_n either_o in_o obey_v god_n 7._o or_o in_o disobey_v of_o his_o will_n

whereupon_o the_o philosopher_n conclude_v that_o it_o be_v of_o a_o simple_a nature_n not_o compound_v and_o so_o consequent_o that_o it_o be_v immortal_a for_o that_o nature_n which_o be_v adorn_v

itself_o divide_v it_o subsi_v of_o itself_o and_o be_v immortal_a hereof_o also_o it_o follow_v that_o if_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n be_v of_o such_o a_o nature_n than_o it_o can_v be_v rend_v in_o sunder_o or_o divide_v or_o pull_v into_o piece_n or_o have_v any_o thing_n in_o it_o that_o can_v be_v separate_v from_o it_o and_o so_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o it_o can_v not_o die_v or_o

spirit_n be_v a_o thing_n separate_v and_o distinct_a from_o the_o sense_n and_o from_o the_o body_n as_o a_o immortal_a thing_n from_o a_o mortal_a and_o that_o it_o come_v from_o without_o and_o elsewhere_o then_o from_o the_o body_n as_o we_o have_v already_o touch_v it_o in_o another_o place_n whereby_o to_o my_o think_n he_o have_v declare_v very_o plain_o that_o he_o do_v not_o take_v the_o soul_n of_o man_n to_o be_v mortal_a but_o yet_o it_o be_v somewhat_o hard_a to_o judge_v what_o his_o opinion_n be_v because_o he_o do_v not_o show_v himself_o so_o open_o as_o the_o matter_n require_v yet_o whatsoever_o he_o think_v or_o resolve_v with_o himself_o the_o soul_n shall_v not_o be_v therefore_o any_o whit_n the_o more_o mortal_a or_o immortal_a for_o the_o immortality_n thereof_o depend_v not_o upon_o his_o opinion_n or_o of_o any_o other_o man_n whatsoever_o nevertheless_o see_v so_o subtle_a and_o sharp_a a_o philosopher_n dare_v not_o affirm_v that_o it_o be_v mortal_a every_o one_o of_o any_o sound_a mind_n may_v well_o judge_v that_o he_o know_v there_o be_v too_o many_o argument_n to_o the_o contrary_a and_o those_o so_o weighty_a that_o they_o deserve_v to_o be_v diligent_o examine_v and_o be_v not_o so_o light_o to_o be_v reject_v for_o he_o be_v not_o so_o shamefast_a and_o modest_a but_o he_o dare_v bold_o reject_v and_o condemn_v the_o opinion_n

only_a that_o he_o be_v in_o doubt_n and_o dare_v affirm_v nothing_o on_o either_o side_n yet_o his_o authority_n ought_v to_o prevail_v much_o with_o we_o against_o they_o who_o depend_v only_o of_o
