expressive_a of_o two_o several_a perceptive_a soul_n in_o man_n soul_n who_o nature_n and_o who_o law_n be_v contrary_a to_o each_o other_o but_o perhaps_o you_o will_v say_v these_o contrary_a law_n do_v indeed_o arise_v because_o man_n be_v a_o compound_v of_o contrary_a nature_n yet_o there_o be_v but_o one_o perceptive_a nature_n in_o he_o but_o that_o nature_n have_v the_o several_a faculty_n

unaccountable_a union_n have_v also_o unaccountable_a mutual_a influence_n upon_o each_o other_o but_o for_o all_o that_o their_o contrary_a nature_n be_v very_o discernible_a and_o to_o make_v sense_n and_o reason_n faculty_n of_o the_o spirit_n be_v to_o make_v the_o spirit_n as_o the_o man_n a_o compound_v of_o contrary_a nature_n for_o that_o sense_n and_o reason_n be_v of_o contrary_a

to_o be_v corporeal_a but_o the_o rational_a soul_n of_o man_n to_o be_v true_o a_o spiritual_a immaterial_a substance_n if_o there_o be_v not_o such_o a_o substance_n in_o
