which_o cebes_n illustrate_v by_o a_o example_n say_v cebes_n to_o i_o your_o discourse_n seem_v to_o be_v involve_v in_o the_o incommodity_n and_o to_o be_v guilty_a of_o the_o same_o fault_n i_o

the_o body_n i_o so_o hold_v that_o i_o shall_v not_o grant_v that_o exception_n of_o simmias_n to_o be_v true_a because_o the_o soul_n seem_v to_o be_v far_o more_o noble_a and_o excellent_a than_o all_o these_o why_o therefore_o say_v reason_n itself_o speak_v to_o i_o do_v you_o yet_o doubt_v and_o refuse_v to_o believe_v since_o you_o see_v that_o when_o a_o man_n be_v dead_a what_o of_o he_o

of_o the_o body_n and_o he_o who_o shall_v say_v the_o same_o of_o they_o may_v seem_v to_o i_o to_o speak_v sober_o and_o moderate_o if_o he_o conclude_v the_o soul_n to_o be_v of_o long_a duration_n but_o the_o body_n less_o firm_a and_o of_o short_a duration_n but_o i_o will_v say_v rather_o that_o the_o soul_n consume_v and_o wear_v but_o many_o body_n though_o they_o all_o live_v many_o year_n for_o if_o the_o body_n be_v dissolve_v and_o perish_v the_o man_n yet_o survive_v and_o the_o soul_n always_o weave_v a_o new_a what_o be_v wear_v out_o it_o will_v be_v whole_o necessary_a that_o the_o soul_n at_o that_o time_n when_o it_o shall_v die_v have_v the_o garment_n it_o last_o weave_v and_o that_o it_o perish_v before_o that_o last_o garment_n only_o but_o when_o the_o soul_n once_o

for_o we_o to_o grow_v proud_a upon_o this_o persuasion_n and_o to_o be_v confident_a that_o after_o we_o be_v dead_a our_o soul_n do_v still_o remain_v some_o where_o for_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v
