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

believe_v revelation_n on_o its_o proper_a ground_n and_o the_o interpret_n the_o sense_n of_o it_o by_o the_o due_a measure_n of_o reason_n i_o shall_v not_o think_v it_o strange_a that_o any_o one_o

person_n can_v believe_v that_o the_o same_o person_n shall_v be_v raise_v with_o body_n make_v of_o the_o very_a same_o particle_n of_o matter_n if_o god_n shall_v reveal_v that_o it_o shall_v be_v so_o viz._n that_o the_o same_o person_n shall_v be_v raise_v with_o the_o same_o body_n they_o have_v before_o which_o be_v all_o one_o as_o to_o say_v that_o he_o who_o think_v the_o blow_n of_o

when_o god_n have_v declare_v it_o shall_v be_v so_o your_o lordship_n say_v my_o idea_n of_o personal_a identity_n be_v inconsistent_a with_o the_o article_n of_o the_o resurrection_n the_o reason_n you_o ground_n it_o on_o be_v this_o because_o it_o make_v not_o the_o same_o body_n necessary_a to_o the_o make_v the_o same_o person_n let_v we_o grant_v your_o lordship_n consequence_n to_o be_v

of_o personal_a identity_n be_v inconsistent_a with_o the_o article_n of_o the_o resurrection_n the_o demonstration_n of_o it_o be_v thus_o your_o lordship_n say_v 35._o it_o be_v not_o necessary_a that_o the_o body_n to_o be_v raise_v at_o the_o last_o day_n shall_v consist_v of_o the_o same_o particle_n of_o matter_n which_o be_v unite_v at_o the_o point_n of_o death_n for_o there_o must_v be_v a_o great_a alteration_n in_o they_o in_o a_o linger_a disease_n as_o if_o a_o fat_a man_n fall_v into_o a_o consumption_n you_o do_v not_o say_v the_o same_o particle_n which_o the_o sinner_n have_v at_o the_o very_a time_n of_o commission_n of_o his_o sin_n for_o then_o a_o long_a sinner_n must_v have_v a_o vast_a body_n consider_v the_o continual_a spend_v of_o particle_n by_o

from_o which_o word_n it_o be_v evident_a that_o your_o lordship_n suppose_v a_o person_n in_o this_o world_n may_v be_v continue_v and_o preserve_v the_o same_o in_o a_o body_n not_o consist_v of_o the_o same_o individual_a particle_n of_o matter_n and_o hence_o it_o demonstrative_o follow_v that_o let_v your_o lordship_n notion_n of_o personal_a identity_n be_v what_o it_o will_v it_o make_v the_o same_o body_n not_o to_o be_v necessary_a to_o the_o same_o person_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v by_o your_o lordship_n rule_n inconsistent_a with_o the_o article_n of_o the_o resurrection_n when_o your_o lordship_n shall_v think_v fit_a to_o clear_v your_o own_o notion_n of_o personal_a identity_n from_o this_o inconsistency_n with_o the_o article_n of_o the_o resurrection_n i_o do_v not_o doubt_v but_o my_o idea_n of_o personal_a identity_n will_v be_v thereby_o clear_v too_o till_o then_o all_o inconsistency_n with_o that_o article_n which_o your_o lordship_n have_v here_o

this_o be_v demonstration_n because_o the_o particle_n of_o the_o body_n of_o the_o same_o person_n in_o this_o life_n change_v every_o moment_n and_o your_o lordship_n can_v deny_v it_o and_o yet_o this_o make_v it_o not_o inconsistent_a with_o god_n preserve_v if_o he_o think_v fit_a to_o the_o same_o person_n body_n consist_v of_o the_o same_o numerical_a particle_n always_o from_o the_o resurrection_n to_o eternity_n and_o so_o likewise_o though_o i_o say_v any_o thing_n that_o suppose_v it_o not_o necessary_a that_o the_o same_o numerical_a particle_n which_o be_v vital_o unite_v to_o the_o soul_n in_o this_o life_n shall_v be_v reunite_v to_o it_o at_o the_o resurrection_n and_o constitute_v the_o body_n it_o shall_v then_o have_v yet_o it_o be_v not_o inconsistent_a with_o this_o that_o god_n may_v if_o he_o please_v give_v to_o every_o one_o a_o body_n consist_v only_o of_o such_o particle_n as_o be_v before_o vital_o unite_v to_o his_o soul_n and_o thus_o i_o think_v
