complete_a and_o perfect_a substance_n subsist_v by_o themselves_o man_n the_o soul_n and_o body_n be_v as_o natural_a part_n for_o the_o constitute_n of_o the_o nature_n of_o man_n but_o they_o be_v

they_o part_n separable_a yet_o herein_o differ_v that_o the_o soul_n whether_o separate_v or_o unite_v be_v natural_o immortal_a the_o body_n whether_o separate_v or_o unite_v by_o nature_n mortal_a and_o yet_o herein_o agree_v that_o as_o be_v natural_a part_n if_o unite_v they_o make_v one_o complete_a whole_a substance_n so_o if_o separate_v they_o have_v a_o inclination_n most_o intime_fw-la and_o natural_a for_o the_o make_n up_o of_o the_o whole_a to_o be_v reunite_v again_o but_o to_o declare_v this_o point_n more_o clear_o the_o inclination_n of_o any_o thing_n that_o be_v but_o a_o part_n of_o a_o whole_a to_o be_v unite_v to_o that_o part_n wherewith_o it_o make_v the_o whole_a be_v so_o natural_a that_o the_o same_o inclination_n can_v be_v remove_v unless_o the_o thing_n

more_o endeavour_v to_o reunite_v themselves_o together_o then_o the_o natural_a and_o essential_a part_n of_o any_o complete_a substance_n upon_o any_o separation_n do_v incline_v to_o be_v reunite_v together_o again_o the_o reason_n of_o which_o inclination_n i_o take_v to_o be_v this_o that_o everye_a thing_n have_v a_o natural_a propension_n for_o the_o conservation_n of_o itself_o and_o his_o

perfect_a be_v then_o when_o it_o be_v in_o the_o whole_a for_o who_o be_v make_v &_o constitution_n natural_o it_o be_v what_o marvel_v then_o that_o every_o part_n natural_a and_o essential_a if_o separate_v from_o the_o whole_a have_v a_o inclination_n for_o the_o make_n up_o of_o the_o whole_a to_o be_v reunite_v to_o her_o fellow_n part_n again_o and_o so_o no_o merveyle_n it_o be_v that_o the_o soul_n be_v a_o essential_a and_o natural_a part_n together_o with_o the_o body_n for_o the_o make_n up_o of_o the_o substance_n of_o man_n if_o she_o be_v separate_v from_o the_o body_n have_v a_o natural_a inclination_n to_o be_v reunite_v to_o the_o body_n again_o that_o by_o the_o mean_n of_o such_o a_o union_n man_n who_o by_o death_n be_v dissolve_v and_o become_v no_o man_n may_v by_o the_o resuscitation_n of_o the_o body_n and_o the_o reunition_n of_o the_o body_n to_o the_o soul_n be_v make_v man_n again_o though_o this_o point_n be_v most_o clear_a both_o in_o divinity_n and_o
