to_o a_o end_n perish_v either_o through_o the_o opposition_n of_o some_o more_o forcible_a contrary_a agent_n as_o coldness_n in_o any_o subject_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o more_o prevalent_a power_n and_o intention_n of_o heat_n or_o through_o the_o substraction_n of_o that_o subject_n whereupon_o it_o depend_v as_o the_o quantity_n of_o the_o glass_n when_o the_o glass_n be_v break_v or_o

not_o the_o first_o because_o there_o be_v nothing_o that_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o soul_n nay_o itself_o be_v of_o such_o a_o peculiar_a nature_n that_o it_o be_v apt_a to_o receive_v such_o thing_n as_o be_v contrary_a between_o themselves_o at_o the_o same_o time_n together_o after_o its_o own_o that_o be_v after_o a_o spiritual_a and_o intellectual_a manner_n not_o the_o second_o for_o there_o be_v not_o any_o subject_n whereon_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o soul_n have_v any_o dependence_n if_o there_o be_v in_o all_o probability_n it_o shall_v be_v the_o humane_a body_n but_o that_o this_o can_v be_v it_o be_v manifest_a because_o when_o the_o power_n and_o ability_n of_o the_o body_n be_v tire_v in_o their_o operation_n the_o mind_n alone_o do_v not_o by_o motion_n contract_v any_o weariness_n likewise_o the_o power_n of_o the_o body_n be_v impair_v and_o weaken_v by_o the_o redundancy_n or_o excess_n of_o the_o object_n as_o the_o sense_n of_o see_v by_o the_o full_a splendour_n and_o bright_a face_n of_o the_o sun_n but_o the_o more_o excellent_a object_n that_o the_o soul_n be_v conversant_a about_o as_o about_z universals_z and_o figure_n abstract_v from_o sensible_a matter_n it_o receive_v thereby_o the_o more_o perfection_n again_o the_o power_n that_o depend_v upon_o the_o body_n be_v only_o busy_v about_o such_o thing_n as_o be_v limit_v to_o particular_a time_n and_o place_n according_a to_o the_o nature_n and_o property_n of_o the_o body_n itself_o but_o the_o mind_n have_v a_o more_o noble_a object_n and_o ascend_v to_o the_o contemplation_n of_o that_o which_o be_v infinite_a and_o eternal_a wherefore_o then_o see_v that_o the_o soul_n depend_v not_o upon_o the_o body_n in_o its_o operation_n neither_o do_v it_o in_o its_o essence_n for_o we_o can_v discern_v the_o nature_n of_o invisible_a thing_n otherwise_o than_o by_o their_o operation_n neither_o be_v the_o three_o way_n of_o corruption_n incident_a to_o the_o soul_n there_o be_v no_o efficient_a cause_n from_o which_o the_o soul_n proceed_v by_o a_o continual_a emanation_n for_o we_o can_v say_v our_o parent_n be_v such_o a_o cause_n since_o when_o they_o be_v dead_a their_o child_n be_v wont_a to_o live_v but_o if_o we_o will_v needs_o make_v some_o cause_n from_o which_o the_o soul_n proceed_v than_o we_o can_v imagine_v no_o other_o save_o the_o first_o and_o universal_a cause_n of_o all_o thing_n which_o as_o in_o respect_n of_o its_o power_n be_v never_o deficient_a so_o in_o respect_n of_o its_o will_n to_o be_v defective_a that_o be_v for_o the_o almighty_a to_o will_v the_o extinction_n and_o destruction_n of_o the_o soul_n no_o man_n can_v ever_o be_v able_a to_o prove_v sect_n xxiii_o many_o reason_n may_v be_v allege_v for_o it_o nay_o there_o be_v many_o strong_a argument_n for_o the_o contrary_a as_o namely_o the_o dominion_n give_v unto_o man_n over_o his_o own_o action_n the_o natural_a desire_n that_o be_v in_o

a_o sense_n of_o a_o imminent_a judgement_n and_o this_o gnaw_a worm_n of_o conscience_n the_o most_o profane_a wretch_n and_o wicked_a tyrant_n have_v not_o be_v able_a oftentimes_o to_o extinguish_v in_o they_o no_o not_o then_o when_o they_o most_o of_o all_o desire_v it_o as_o divers_a example_n do_v testify_v sect_n xxiv_o whence_o it_o follow_v that_o the_o end_n of_o

thing_n that_o be_v accompany_v with_o peril_n trouble_n torment_n and_o death_n unless_o we_o have_v a_o mind_n to_o follow_v the_o sound_n of_o word_n without_o the_o sense_n of_o thing_n wherefore_o they_o place_v man_n chief_a happiness_n and_o end_n in_o such_o thing_n as_o be_v delightful_a and_o please_a to_o sense_n but_o yet_o this_o opinion_n also_o be_v disprove_v and_o
