A48890	Mr. Locke's reply to the right reverend the Lord Bishop of Worcester's answer to his second letter wherein, besides other incident matters, what his lordship has said concerning certainty by reason, certainty by ideas, and certainty of faith, the resurrection of the same body, the immateriality of the soul, the inconsistency of Mr. Locke's notions with the articles of the Christian faith and their tendency to sceptism [sic], is examined.	Locke, John, 1632-1704.	1699 (1699)	Wing L2754; ESTC R32483	244,862	490

infant_n have_v the_o same_o body_n but_o this_o be_v a_o way_n of_o certainty_n find_v out_o to_o establish_v the_o article_n of_o faith_n and_o to_o overturn_v the_o new_a method_n of_o certainty_n that_o your_o lordship_n say_v i_o have_v start_v which_o be_v apt_a to_o leave_v man_n mind_n more_o doubtful_a than_o before_o and_o now_o i_o desire_v your_o lordship_n to_o consider_v of_o what_o

the_o question_n be_v not_o about_o the_o identity_n of_o a_o plant_n but_o about_o the_o identity_n of_o a_o body_n it_o be_v a_o very_a different_a thing_n to_o be_v the_o same_o plant_n and_o to_o be_v the_o same_o body_n for_o that_o which_o make_v the_o same_o plant_n do_v not_o make_v the_o same_o body_n the_o one_o be_v the_o partake_n in_o the_o same_o continue_a vegetable_a life_n the_o other_o the_o consist_v of_o the_o same_o numerical_a particle_n of_o matter_n and_o therefore_o your_o lordship_n inference_n from_o my_o word_n above_o quote_v in_o these_o which_o you_o subjoin_v 42._o seem_v to_o i_o a_o very_a strange_a one_o viz._n so_o that_o in_o thing_n capable_a of_o any_o sort_n of_o life_n the_o identity_n be_v consistent_a with_o a_o continue_a succession_n of_o part_n and_o so_o the_o wheat_n grow_v up_o be_v the_o same_o body_n with_o the_o grain_n that_o be_v sow_v for_o i_o believe_v if_o my_o word_n from_o which_o you_o infer_v and_o so_o the_o wheat_n grow_v up_o be_v the_o same_o body_n with_o the_o grain_n that_o be_v sow_v be_v put_v into_o a_o syllogism_n this_o will_v hardly_o be_v bring_v to_o be_v the_o conclusion_n but_o your_o lordship_n

of_o the_o same_o body_n the_o connection_n of_o your_o lordship_n word_n 41._o be_v as_o follow_v and_o thus_o the_o alteration_n of_o the_o part_n of_o the_o body_n at_o the_o resurrection_n be_v consistent_a with_o its_o identity_n if_o its_o organization_n and_o life_n be_v the_o same_o and_o this_o be_v a_o real_a identity_n of_o the_o body_n which_o depend_v not_o upon_o consciousness_n from_o whence_o it_o follow_v that_o to_o make_v the_o same_o body_n no_o more_o be_v require_v but_o restore_a life_n to_o the_o organise_v part_n of_o it_o if_o the_o question_n be_v about_o raise_v the_o same_o plant_n i_o do_v not_o say_v but_o there_o may_v be_v some_o appearance_n for_o make_v such_o inference_n from_o my_o word_n as_o this_o whence_o it_o follow_v that_o to_o make_v the_o same_o plant_n no_o more_o be_v require_v but_o to_o restore_v life_n to_o the_o organise_v part_n of_o it_o but_o this_o deduction_n wherein_o from_o those_o word_n of_o i_o that_o speak_v only_o of_o the_o identity_n of_o a_o plant_n your_o lordship_n infer_v there_o be_v no_o more_o require_v to_o make_v the_o the_o same_o body_n than_o to_o make_v the_o same_o plant_n be_v too_o subtle_a for_o i_o i_o leave_v to_o my_o reader_n to_o find_v out_o your_o lordship_n go_v on_o and_o say_v 42._o that_o i_o grant_v likewise_o that_o the_o identity_n of_o the_o same_o man_n consist_v in_o

but_o your_o lordship_n know_v that_o i_o do_v not_o take_v these_o two_o sound_n man_n and_o body_n to_o stand_v for_o the_o same_o thing_n nor_o the_o identity_n of_o the_o man_n to_o be_v the_o

there_o be_v no_o reason_n to_o deny_v the_o identity_n of_o the_o body_n not_o from_o the_o consciousness_n of_o the_o soul_n but_o from_o that_o life_n which_o be_v the_o result_n of_o the_o union_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o body_n if_o i_o understand_v your_o lordship_n right_a you_o in_o these_o word_n from_o the_o passage_n above_o quote_v out_o of_o my_o book_n argue_v that_o from_o those_o
