not_o corrupt_v they_o be_v uncorruptible_a themselves_o to_o now_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n i_o mean_v the_o reasonable_a soul_n or_o mind_n conceive_v reason_n and_o truth_n and_o be_v feed_v and_o strengthen_v with_o they_o and_o reason_n and_o truth_n be_v thing_n unchangeable_a not_o subject_a to_o time_n place_n or_o alteration_n but_o steady_a unchaungeable_a and_o everlasting_a for_o that_o twice_o two_o be_v four_o and_o that_o there_o be_v the_o same_o reason_n in_o the_o proportion_n of_o eight_o unto_o six_o that_o be_v of_o four_o unto_o three_o or_o that_o in_o a_o

which_o be_v thing_n free_a from_o corruption_n can_v in_o any_o wise_a be_v subject_a to_o corruption_n again_o who_o be_v he_o of_o all_o man_n that_o desire_v not_o to_o be_v immort_a all_o and_o

unto_o it_o sure_o none_o of_o we_o covet_v to_o be_v beginninglesse_a for_o none_o of_o we_o be_v so_o neither_o can_v any_o of_o we_o be_v so_o and_o as_o we_o can_v so_o be_v so_o also_o can_v we_o

there_o be_v not_o so_o base_a a_o mind_n which_o covet_v not_o to_o live_v for_o ever_o insomuch_o that_o whereas_o we_o look_v not_o for_o it_o by_o nature_n we_o seek_v to_o obtain_v it_o by_o

and_o yet_o nevertheless_o that_o forasmuch_o as_o they_o be_v create_v immortal_a they_o do_v well_o conceive_v a_o immortality_n or_o everlastingness_n without_o end_n and_o whereto_o serve_v this_o
