immortality_n only_o dwell_v in_o christ_n but_o if_o every_o man_n have_v a_o immortal_a soul_n dwell_v in_o he_o than_o immortality_n dwell_v in_o every_o man_n but_o the_o scripture_n deni_v that_o and_o say_v that_o immortality_n dwell_v in_o none_o but_o in_o christ_n or_o only_o in_o christ_n which_o be_v one_o and_o the_o same_o and_o that_o you_o may_v see_v this_o prove_v to_o you_o read_z 1_o tim._n 6.16_o in_o these_o word_n v._o 15._o which_o in_o his_o time_n shall_v show_v who_o be_v the_o bless_a and_o only_a potentate_n the_o king_n of_o king_n and_o lord_z of_o lord_n who_o only_a have_v immortality_n dwell_v in_o the_o light_n that_o no_o man_n can_v approach_v unto_o so_o then_o immortality_n dwell_v only_o in_o christ_n and_o the_o glory_n of_o man_n be_v as_o the_o flour_n of_o grass_n for_o they_o die_v and_o in_o the_o same_o day_n their_o thought_n perish_v which_o show_v that_o man_n be_v whole_o mortal_a and_o so_o i_o pass_v to_o the_o five_o reason_n which_o be_v reas_n 5._o because_o the_o scripture_n say_v gen._n 7.23_o that_o every_o live_a substance_n be_v destroy_v in_o the_o flood_n in_o which_o be_v the_o breath_n of_o life_n save_v noah_n and_o those_o that_o be_v with_o he_o in_o the_o ark_n and_o then_o if_o the_o soul_n have_v life_n or_o be_v a_o live_a substance_n it_o be_v destroy_v as_o joshua_n destroy_v every_o live_a soul_n with_o the_o edge_n of_o the_o sword_n josh_n 11._o the_o conclusion_n be_v this_o that_o which_o may_v be_v destroy_v be_v mortal_a but_o the_o soul_n may_v be_v destroy_v and_o therefore_o mortal_a reas_n 6._o again_o six_o because_o that_o which_o be_v the_o mortal_a part_n of_o man_n bear_v the_o name_n live_v soul_n which_o show_v that_o the_o whole_a man_n be_v mortal_a for_o the_o scripture_n say_v that_o god_n make_v man_n out_o of_o the_o dust_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o breathe_v upon_o he_o the_o breath_n of_o life_n and_o he_o become_v a_o live_a soul_n mark_n it_o be_v not_o a_o live_a soul_n infer_v into_o he_o but_o by_o be_v breathe_v upon_o the_o man_n that_o be_v make_v of_o the_o dust_n of_o the_o earth_n become_v a_o live_a soul_n mark_v the_o word_n become_v a_o live_a soul_n now_o it_o be_v not_o the_o breath_n that_o become_v a_o live_a soul_n but_o it_o be_v the_o man_n which_o become_v a_o live_a soul_n and_o if_o the_o breath_n be_v not_o that_o which_o be_v call_v the_o live_a soul_n what_o be_v man_n when_o his_o breath_n return_v to_o god_n that_o give_v it_o sure_o it_o be_v a_o dead_a lump_n and_o when_o paul_n speak_v of_o mortality_n and_o immortality_n he_o argue_v mortality_n from_o the_o very_a word_n live_v soldy_a say_v the_o first_o man_n be_v make_v a_o live_a soul_n and_o the_o second_o adam_n a_o quicken_a spirit_n the_o first_o man_n be_v of_o the_o earth_n earthy_a and_o so_o forth_o these_o thing_n consider_v show_v that_o the_o live_a soul_n viz._n the_o first_o man_n be_v mortal_a and_o the_o quicken_a spirit_n viz._n the_o second_o man_n christ_n jesus_n be_v he_o that_o only_o have_v immortality_n dwell_v in_o he_o so_o then_o if_o mortality_n be_v attribute_v to_o that_o which_o be_v call_v the_o live_a soul_n than_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o the_o whole_a man_n be_v mortal_a and_o so_o i_o pass_v to_o the_o seven_o reason_n which_o be_v reason_v 7._o because_o if_o the_o soul_n die_v not_o than_o it_o abide_v alone_o and_o be_v unfruitful_a for_o it_o be_v not_o quicken_v unless_o it_o die_v as_o say_v the_o apostle_n and_o if_o it_o die_v not_o then_o be_v not_o christ_n the_o first_o fruit_n of_o it_o for_o christ_n be_v only_o the_o first_o fruit_n of_o they_o that_o sleep_n and_o indeed_o it_o be_v no_o argument_n of_o weight_n that_o christ_n use_v to_o the_o saducee_n to_o prove_v the_o resurrection_n if_o the_o soul_n die_v not_o for_o he_o say_v god_n be_v not_o the_o god_n of_o the_o dead_a but_o of_o the_o live_n for_o all_o live_v to_o he_o or_o in_o his_o account_n mean_v by_o a_o resurrection_n but_o if_o the_o soul_n die_v not_o for_o a_o time_n how_o can_v christ_n have_v use_v the_o word_n all_o live_v to_o he_o to_o prove_v a_o resurrection_n for_o if_o it_o have_v be_v so_o that_o the_o soul_n die_v not_o than_o they_o may_v have_v say_v it_o be_v true_a their_o soul_n live_v to_o god_n and_o so_o it_o have_v be_v no_o argument_n at_o all_o to_o prove_v the_o resurrection_n but_o christ_n bring_v it_o to_o prove_v the_o resurrection_n imply_v that_o there_o be_v no_o other_o live_v to_o god_n after_o this_o life_n be_v end_v but_o in_o a_o resurrection_n which_o bring_v i_o to_o the_o eight_o and_o last_o reason_n to_o prove_v man_n whole_o mortal_a which_o be_v reas_n 8._o because_o as_o those_o that_o go_v to_o the_o grave_n can_v

moreover_o doubtless_o this_o opinion_n of_o the_o soul_n be_v immortal_a have_v beget_v all_o these_o vain_a error_n as_o prayer_n over_o the_o dead_a and_o purgatory_n for_o that_o be_v the_o

this_o conceit_n and_o i_o can_v show_v that_o the_o heathen_a in_o chief_a have_v be_v the_o author_n of_o this_o opinion_n but_o there_o be_v many_o thing_n that_o i_o be_o fain_a to_o omit_v because_o of_o time_n and_o offer_v that_o only_o which_o be_v draw_v from_o scripture_n and_o thus_o have_v brief_o give_v you_o these_o few_o reason_n in_o the_o next_o place_n i_o shall_v instance_n that_o which_o man_n call_v the_o soul_n and_o show_v that_o that_o be_v mortal_a omit_v the_o opinion_n of_o the_o stoic_a and_o democritus_n and_o plato_n and_o the_o like_a i_o shall_v speak_v somewhat_o of_o the_o receive_a opinion_n what_o the_o soul_n be_v and_o that_o be_v some_o say_v it_o be_v the_o understanding_n part_n of_o man_n the_o which_o if_o so_o than_o all_o be_v bear_v without_o soul_n and_o many_o never_o have_v any_o first_o that_o child_n have_v not_o understand_v at_o the_o time_n of_o their_o birth_n i_o think_v all_o will_v grant_v if_o the_o scripture_n do_v not_o prove_v it_o and_o also_o that_o there_o be_v many_o that_o never_o have_v understanding_n but_o be_v natural_a fool_n and_o therefore_o if_o the_o understanding_n part_n of_o man_n be_v the_o soul_n than_o those_o that_o have_v no_o understanding_n have_v no_o soul_n and_o they_o that_o have_v a_o soul_n if_o understanding_n be_v the_o soul_n it_o die_v with_o the_o man_n

9.5_o and_o if_o the_o faculty_n of_o man_n be_v understand_v to_o be_v the_o soul_n than_o it_o be_v easy_a to_o prove_v they_o temperature_n and_o mortal_a because_o they_o be_v subject_a to_o

or_o otherwise_o you_o will_v have_v such_o a_o communion_n as_o the_o very_a worldling_n will_v hiss_v at_o but_o now_o that_o you_o may_v shuffle_v a_o company_n together_o of_o all_o sort_n and_o

to_o pass_v these_o thing_n i_o shall_v give_v a_o argument_n to_o prove_v the_o continuation_n of_o receive_v and_o reject_v bind_v and_o lose_v which_o be_v if_o there_o be_v such_o a_o

than_o the_o power_n of_o the_o church_n also_o do_v remain_v because_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o person_n to_o eat_v the_o lord_n supper_n so_o as_o for_o god_n to_o approve_v of_o it_o if_o the_o
