do_v thence_o repute_v it_o impossible_a for_o a_o immaterial_a be_v to_o move_v a_o body_n but_o we_o who_o believe_v the_o soul_n to_o be_v a_o a_o spirit_n know_v it_o to_o be_v possible_a much_o more_o be_v it_o possible_a for_o god_n though_o a_o be_v infinite_o act._n 17_o 25_o 27_o 28._o more_o pure_a who_o give_v to_o all_o life_n and_o breath_n and_o all_o thing_n and_o in_o who_o we_o live_v and_o move_v and_o have_v our_o be_v and_o who_o be_v not_o far_o from_o every_o one_o of_o we_o it_o will_v be_v hard_a for_o we_o to_o give_v a_o intelligible_a account_n either_o how_o god_n move_v all_o thing_n or_o how_o our_o soul_n move_v the_o body_n yet_o we_o be_v sure_a it_o be_v so_o that_o a_o body_n may_v move_v a_o body_n seem_v not_o so_o strange_a to_o apprehend_v for_o we_o see_v one_o engine_n move_v another_o but_o by_o what_o mechanism_n shall_v a_o spirit_n give_v motion_n to_o a_o body_n when_o at_o rest_n or_o stop_v it_o when_o in_o motion_n or_o direct_v its_o motion_n this_o way_n or_o that_o way_n it_o will_v be_v think_v strange_a that_o a_o thought_n of_o we_o shall_v move_v a_o stone_n and_o it_o be_v as_o hard_a to_o conceive_v do_v we_o not_o see_v it_o daily_o how_o a_o thought_n shall_v put_v our_o body_n in_o motion_n and_o another_o thought_n stop_v it_o again_o yet_o this_o we_o see_v do_v every_o day_n though_o we_o know_v not_o how_n and_o it_o be_v almost_o the_o same_o thing_n in_o other_o animal_n and_o more_o yet_o when_o a_o angel_n assume_v a_o body_n there_o be_v none_o of_o these_o thing_n we_o know_v how_o and_o yet_o we_o know_v they_o be_v do_v i_o shall_v press_v this_o a_o little_a far_o our_o soul_n we_o all_o believe_v do_v after_o death_n continue_v to_o exist_v in_o a_o separate_a condition_n from_o the_o

〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d else_o i_o see_v not_o why_o paul_n shall_v desire_v to_o depart_v or_o to_o be_v dissolve_v and_o to_o be_v with_o christ_n which_o be_v far_o better_a 24._o rather_o than_o to_o abide_v in_o flesh._n for_o while_o he_o abide_v in_o the_o flesh_n he_o have_v some_o enjoyment_n of_o christ_n as_o well_o as_o a_o opportunity_n of_o do_v some_o service_n which_o be_v more_o desirable_a if_o when_o he_o be_v depart_v he_o have_v none_o at_o all_o and_o how_o can_v he_o then_o say_v that_o to_o dye_n be_v gain_v whether_o the_o soul_n thus_o separate_v shall_v be_v say_v to_o have_v a_o subsistence_n as_o well_o as_o a_o existence_n or_o whether_o it_o may_v be_v proper_o say_v then_o to_o be_v a_o entire_a person_n as_o the_o soul_n and_o body_n be_v before_o death_n and_o after_o the_o resurrection_n i_o will_v not_o dispute_v because_o that_o be_v to_o contend_v about_o word_n and_o such_o word_n so_o signify_v as_o we_o please_v to_o define_v they_o and_o bear_v such_o a_o sense_n as_o we_o please_v to_o put_v upon_o they_o but_o it_o be_v as_o the_o angel_n be_v a_o intellectual_a spiritual_a agent_n and_o we_o use_v to_o say_v actiones_fw-la

the_o spiritual_a be_v which_o do_v now_o separately_z exist_v shall_v at_o the_o resurrection_n resume_v a_o body_n into_o the_o same_o personality_n with_o itself_o and_o shall_v with_o it_o

divine_a person_n may_v assume_v humanity_n into_o the_o same_o personality_n with_o itself_o without_o cease_v to_o be_v a_o divine_a person_n as_o before_o it_o be_v if_o it_o be_v say_v that_o person_n and_o personality_n in_o the_o sacred_a trinity_n be_v not_o just_a the_o same_o as_o what_o we_o so_o call_v in_o other_o case_n it_o be_v grant_v and_o by_o these_o word_n which_o be_v

from_o create_a being_n can_v signify_v just_o the_o same_o when_o apply_v to_o god_n as_o when_o they_o be_v apply_v to_o man_n but_o somewhat_o analogous_a thereunto_o and_o if_o the_o soul_n though_o we_o know_v not_o how_o may_v and_o do_v at_o the_o resurrection_n assume_v a_o body_n so_o as_o to_o become_v the_o same_o person_n with_o itself_o though_o neither_o the_o body_n be_v

divine_a person_n assume_v humanity_n so_o to_o be_v what_o be_v analogous_a to_o what_o we_o call_v a_o person_n the_o humanity_n remain_v humanity_n and_o the_o divinity_n remain_v divinity_n though_o both_o unite_a in_o one_o christ_n though_o we_o do_v not_o particular_o know_v how_o we_o shall_v be_v at_o a_o great_a loss_n if_o to_o answer_v a_o atheist_n or_o one_o who_o do_v not_o believe_v the_o scripture_n we_o be_v put_v to_o it_o to_o tell_v he_o how_o god_n make_v the_o world_n of_o what_o matter_n with_o what_o tool_n or_o engine_n or_o how_o a_o pure_a spirit_n can_v produce_v matter_n where_o none_o be_v he_o will_v tell_v we_o perhaps_o exit_fw-la nihilo_fw-la nihil_fw-la in_fw-la nihilum_fw-la nil_fw-la posse_fw-la reverti_fw-la where_o nothing_o be_v nothing_o can_v be_v make_v and_o what_o once_o be_v though_o it_o may_v be_v change_v can_v never_o become_v nothing_o and_o will_v never_o believe_v the_o world_n be_v make_v but_o rather_o be_v from_o all_o

make_v it_o but_o we_o know_v not_o how_o the_o same_o must_v satisfy_v we_o here_o that_o christ_n be_v incarnate_a god_n and_o man_n we_o be_v certain_a for_o so_o the_o scripture_n do_v assure_v we_o as_o well_o as_o that_o god_n make_v the_o world_n but_o how_o god_n make_v the_o world_n or_o how_o the_o son_n of_o god_n assume_v humanity_n we_o can_v tell_v nor_o indeed_o be_v it_o fit_a for_o we_o to_o inquire_v far_o than_o god_n be_v please_v to_o make_v know_v to_o we_o all_o further_o than_o this_o be_v but_o the_o subtle_a cobweb_n of_o our_o brain_n fine_a but_o not_o strong_a witty_a conjecture_n how_o it_o may_v be_v rather_o than_o a_o clear_a resolution_n how_o it_o be_v another_o objection_n i_o have_v meet_v with_o to_o which_o the_o objecter_n must_v be_v content_v with_o the_o same_o answer_n we_o know_v it_o be_v but_o we_o know_v not_o how_n it_o will_v be_v endless_a for_o we_o and_o too_o great_a a_o curiosity_n to_o think_v ourselves_o able_a full_o to_o explicate_v all_o the_o hide_a thing_n of_o god_n the_o objection_n be_v this_o since_o the_o three_o person_n can_v be_v divide_v how_o be_v it_o possible_a that_o one_o of_o they_o can_v assume_v humanity_n and_o not_o the_o other_o and_o why_o the_o second_o person_n and_o not_o the_o first_o or_o three_o as_o to_o the_o question_n why_o i_o say_v it_o be_v so_o because_o so_o it_o please_v god_n and_o he_o give_v not_o account_n of_o his_o matter_n he_o be_v 13._o not_o accountable_a to_o we_o why_o he_o so_o will_v as_o to_o the_o question_n how_o be_v it_o possible_a i_o see_v no_o difficulty_n in_o that_o at_o all_o the_o person_n be_v distinguish_v though_o not_o divide_v as_o in_o the_o divine_a attribute_n god_n justice_n and_o mercy_n be_v distinguishable_a though_o in_o
