next_o in_o confutation_n of_o their_o reason_n for_o this_o opinion_n we_o answer_v first_o that_o the_o soul_n be_v not_o cleanse_v by_o such_o transmeation_n from_o body_n to_o body_n but_o

the_o soul_n shall_v be_v enjoin_v to_o such_o a_o satisfaction_n for_o sin_n as_o tend_v to_o its_o great_a defilement_n these_o reason_n therefore_o avail_v little_a to_o confirm_v the_o soul_n transmeation_n in_o the_o manner_n premise_v we_o in_o the_o last_o place_n shall_v prove_v this_o metempsychosis_n to_o be_v no_o other_o than_o a_o vain_a imagination_n by_o the_o reason_n follow_v
