of_o union_n between_o this_o subtle_a matter_n or_o spirit_n and_o that_o but_o it_o be_v the_o subtle_a matter_n or_o spirit_n that_o be_v the_o vinculum_fw-la or_o bond_n of_o union_n between_o

because_o of_o its_o subtlety_n in_o truth_n may_v be_v but_o a_o soul_n that_o be_v a_o mean_n only_o of_o convey_v the_o vital_a influence_n into_o the_o body_n from_o the_o original_a mind_n but_o

animal_n which_o be_v soul_n and_o body_n and_o not_o the_o soul_n only_o be_v agent_n in_o all_o that_o pass_n seem_v probable_a in_o that_o all_o the_o ordinary_a action_n of_o the_o man_n that_o

proper_o animal_n even_o intellection_n itself_o be_v not_o a_o action_n only_o of_o the_o soul_n or_o anima_fw-la but_o as_o the_o latin_n will_v express_v it_o a_o action_n of_o the_o animus_fw-la or_o understanding_n which_o be_v to_o be_v conceive_v as_o a_o animal_n and_o organical_a faculty_n that_o be_v as_o a_o thing_n arise_v principal_o but_o not_o only_o from_o the_o soul_n for_o so_o

the_o language_n of_o the_o scripture_n be_v often_o adapt_v but_o to_o the_o conception_n of_o the_o vulgar_a and_o therefore_o can_v be_v the_o standard_n of_o philosophical_a truth_n and_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o even_o in_o our_o saviour_n time_n a_o many_o pythagorean_n and_o platonical_a doctrine_n and_o this_o in_o particular_a of_o the_o pre-existence_n of_o soul_n and_o the_o soul_n be_v the_o man_n have_v obtain_v to_o be_v vulgar_a among_o the_o jew_n as_o appear_v by_o that_o question_n of_o the_o disciple_n which_o they_o put_v to_o our_o lord_n be_v this_o man_n bear_v

can_v not_o sin_n if_o he_o be_v not_o in_o be_v beside_o the_o genesis_n or_o way_n of_o generation_n of_o animal_n seem_v to_o favour_n the_o former_a opinion_n more_o than_o the_o latter_a for_o in_o the_o latter_a opinion_n the_o soul_n be_v conceive_v as_o a_o assistant_n rather_o than_o a_o inform_a form_n and_o so_o rather_o as_o a_o animal_n than_o as_o a_o part_n of_o one_o which_o do_v not_o so_o well_o consist_v with_o the_o method_n of_o generation_n in_o fine_a the_o distinction_n between_o soul_n and_o abstract_a spirit_n as_o to_o their_o nature_n can_v be_v set_v out_o with_o that_o distinctness_n and_o clearness_n in_o the_o latter_a as_o in_o the_o former_a opinion_n but_o take_v it_o either_o way_n if_o we_o distinguish_v soul_n and_o faculty_n and_o do_v hold_v that_o animal_n action_n be_v the_o effect_n of_o faculty_n but_o that_o the_o soul_n be_v the_o principal_a cause_n of_o those_o faculty_n why_o may_v it_o not_o be_v affirm_v as_o i_o hint_v before_o that_o the_o moysaicall_a spirit_n be_v unto_o all_o the_o body_n in_o the_o universe_n those_o of_o invinsible_a as_o well_o as_o of_o visible_a animal_n what_o the_o soul_n conceive_v of_o after_o

a_o soul_n of_o the_o universe_n shall_v radiate_a into_o the_o several_a body_n and_o give_v they_o their_o faculty_n in_o short_a we_o may_v conceive_v particular_a soul_n as_o so_o many_o animi_fw-la for_o now_o i_o distinguish_v as_o cotta_n do_v between_o animus_fw-la and_o anima_fw-la and_o that_o the_o anima_fw-la that_o be_v the_o source_n of_o all_o these_o animi_fw-la be_v but_o
