A86451	The grand prerogative of humane nature namely, the souls naturall or native immortality, and freedome from corruption, shewed by many arguments, and also defended against the rash and rude conceptions of a late presumptuous authour, who hath adventured to impugne it. By G.H. Gent.	Holland, Guy, 1587?-1660.	1653 (1653)	Wing H2417; Thomason E1438_2; ESTC R202443	95,057	144

from_o the_o star_n and_o the_o poet_n in_o relation_n also_o to_o this_o do_v feign_v that_o prometheus_n steal_v fire_n from_o heaven_n wherewith_o he_o give_v life_n to_o his_o man_n of_o clay_n

depart_v have_v no_o be_v at_o all_o but_o only_o that_o they_o have_v no_o be_v upon_o the_o earth_n in_o regard_n that_o by_o die_v they_o cease_v not_o only_o to_o be_v man_n any_o long_o of_o this_o world_n but_o even_o to_o be_v man_n as_o before_o death_n they_o have_v be_v and_o this_o must_v needs_o be_v the_o true_a meaning_n of_o the_o place_n quote_v by_o the_o adversary_n in_o the_o margin_n and_o not_o that_o other_o which_o he_o pretend_v because_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n most_o evident_a both_o in_o reason_n and_o in_o holy_a scripture_n also_o that_o the_o part_n of_o which_o man_n be_v compose_v be_v not_o annihilate_v by_o death_n without_o any_o remnant_n of_o be_v leave_v they_o but_o that_o they_o cease_v only_o to_o be_v unite_v or_o to_o be_v man_n in_o respect_n of_o which_o deficiency_n alone_o it_o may_v be_v true_o affirm_v of_o man_n as_o it_o be_v in_o scripture_n that_o after_o death_n they_o be_v not_o in_o be_v to_o the_o second_o part_n i_o say_v that_o although_o the_o soul_n after_o separation_n from_o the_o body_n be_v not_o a_o person_n humane_a or_o a_o entity_n complete_a yet_o still_o have_v it_o a_o stable_a subsistence_n and_o leave_v not_o to_o be_v a_o substance_n intellectual_a or_o a_o spirit_n wherefore_o it_o do_v not_o follow_v that_o because_o the_o soul_n be_v not_o a_o person_n or_o a_o complete_a entity_n after_o separation_n that_o therefore_o it_o can_v have_v no_o action_n but_o must_v either_o sleep_v or_o die_v the_o soul_n be_v it_o separate_v or_o unite_v be_v a_o spirit_n a_o spirit_n be_v intellective_a a_o intellective_a substance_n can_v neither_o die_v nor_o whole_o cease_v from_o action_n as_o before_o have_v be_v prove_v and_o therefore_o be_v not_o capable_a either_o of_o sleep_n or_o slumber_n or_o in_o any_o danger_n of_o be_v benumb_v and_o much_o less_o of_o death_n to_o the_o three_o i_o answer_v that_o the_o apostle_n speak_v there_o not_o of_o christian_a soul_n be_v miserable_a but_o of_o christian_a man_n be_v so_o and_o therefore_o let_v the_o soul_n be_v never_o so_o happy_a after_o death_n yet_o if_o there_o shall_v be_v no_o resurrection_n the_o man_n can_v be_v never_o otherwise_o then_o miserable_a yea_o far_o more_o miserable_a than_o any_o other_o man_n because_o in_o this_o life_n they_o shall_v be_v afflict_v in_o a_o high_a degree_n than_o other_o and_o in_o the_o next_o they_o shall_v not_o be_v at_o all_o you_o will_v say_v what_o matter_n be_v it_o if_o the_o man_n be_v miserable_a in_o this_o world_n and_o never_o happy_a in_o any_o world_n so_o the_o soul_n in_o the_o next_o world_n be_v make_v happy_a in_o opposition_n to_o this_o i_o say_v yes_o it_o be_v a_o matter_n and_o a_o very_a great_a matter_n also_o if_o we_o will_v weigh_v thing_n right_o for_o to_o be_v miserable_a in_o

minor_a of_o it_o and_o then_o what_o kind_n of_o conclusion_n it_o have_v we_o may_v easy_o judge_v for_o first_o it_o be_v false_a that_o every_o thing_n be_v a_o temperature_n universal_o speak_v which_o be_v subject_a to_o intention_n and_o remission_n except_v such_o thing_n only_o as_o be_v subject_a unto_o they_o per_fw-la se_fw-la and_o by_o their_o own_o nature_n and_o not_o by_o accident_n only_o and_o this_o appear_v in_o the_o very_a business_n now_o in_o agitation_n between_o we_o for_o a_o great_a clerk_n than_o this_o man_n be_v will_v hardly_o ever_o prove_v that_o the_o augment_v or_o diminution_n which_o be_v find_v in_o the_o act_n of_o knowledge_n do_v arise_v from_o any_o internal_a alteration_n in_o the_o intellective_a faculty_n and_o not_o contrariwise_o from_o the_o difference_n advantage_n and_o alteration_n in_o the_o organ_n or_o the_o species_n and_o form_n intentional_a for_o this_o reason_n therefore_o a_o man_n may_v understand_v better_a than_o a_o child_n namely_o not_o because_o his_o faculty_n intellective_a be_v better_a than_o a_o child_n but_o only_o for_o betterness_n in_o the_o organ_n also_o a_o learned_a man_n better_a than_o a_o illiterate_a and_o a_o diligent_a than_o a_o negligent_a because_o those_o may_v have_v acquire_v more_o species_n or_o form_n intentional_a or_o else_o have_v keep_v they_o better_o than_o these_o other_o that_o be_v illiterate_a and_o negligent_a and_o not_o for_o any_o intention_n or_o remission_n in_o the_o faculty_n this_o i_o say_v may_v be_v the_o reason_n of_o the_o difference_n and_o be_v likely_a so_o to_o be_v and_o not_o any_o variation_n in_o the_o faculty_n itself_o notwithstanding_o any_o thing_n which_o this_o author_n have_v say_v and_o therefore_o this_o proof_n of_o he_o be_v defective_a and_o of_o no_o validity_n in_o the_o same_o sense_n we_o deny_v the_o minor_a also_o for_o it_o do_v not_o follow_v that_o the_o faculty_n rational_a be_v more_o or_o less_o because_o the_o act_n of_o it_o be_v more_o or_o less_o in_o regard_n that_o there_o may_v be_v more_o cause_n than_o one_o of_o this_o intention_n or_o remission_n as_o namely_o the_o different_a perfection_n of_o the_o organ_n as_o well_o as_o the_o several_a measure_n of_o the_o faculty_n itself_o wherefore_o it_o belong_v to_o this_o author_n to_o prove_v that_o this_o ebb_a

since_o he_o fail_v to_o do_v his_o argument_n can_v by_o no_o mean_n conclude_v or_o be_v admit_v as_o good_a he_o argue_v again_o temperature_n be_v a_o quality_n a_o quality_n may_v be_v absent_a without_o the_o destruction_n of_o the_o subject_n reason_n and_o understanding_n may_v be_v so_o therefore_o they_o be_v temperature_n or_o quality_n and_o not_o substance_n immortal_a the_o minor_a be_v prove_v by_o example_n of_o madness_n fall_v sickness_n etc._n etc._n in_o answer_n first_o i_o deny_v it_o to_o follow_v that_o because_o reason_n be_v a_o quality_n therefore_o it_o be_v a_o temperature_n for_o there_o be_v many_o quality_n which_o neither_o be_v temperature_n nor_o belong_v unto_o they_o because_o no_o other_o quality_n belong_v to_o temperature_n but_o only_o such_o as_o be_v elementary_a second_o i_o deny_v absolute_o that_o reason_n or_o understanding_n can_v be_v absent_a without_o the_o destruction_n of_o the_o soul_n or_o of_o man_n i_o know_v the_o act_n of_o reason_n may_v be_v absent_a and_o the_o effluence_n of_o it_o hinder_v more_o or_o less_o as_o in_o infant_n mad_a man_n a_o poplectick_a person_n and_o such_o like_a but_o still_o the_o root_n remain_v and_o without_o death_n can_v be_v remove_v hence_o i_o infer_v against_o this_o author_n that_o although_o sundry_a actual_a intellection_n may_v be_v improve_v or_o impair_v by_o sense_n yet_o the_o radical_a can_v but_o be_v whole_o independent_a nay_o further_o even_o some_o act_n of_o the_o soul_n be_v in_o the_o manner_n of_o work_v independent_a of_o the_o body_n and_o whole_o inorganicall_a as_o divers_a learned_a author_n have_v show_v some_o old_a author_n have_v ascribe_v to_o the_o soul_n a_o body_n aethereal_a but_o that_o itself_o be_v a_o body_n aerial_a or_o
