therefore_o must_v needs_o have_v something_o in_o he_o that_o be_v immortal_a who_o be_v he_o that_o desire_v not_o to_o be_v immortal_a how_o can_v he_o desire_v it_o unless_o he_o know_v what_o

man_n prove_v it_o immortal_a second_o it_o be_v plain_o prove_v arg._n 2_o that_o man_n consist_v of_o two_o part_n soul_n and_o body_n because_o they_o perform_v several_a and_o different_a work_n at_o one_o and_o the_o same_o time_n the_o soul_n or_o mind_n of_o man_n will_v be_v at_o constantinople_n then_o at_o rome_n at_o paris_n at_o lion_n in_o america_n in_o africa_n and_o dispatch_v

time_n be_v at_o home_n at_o work_n or_o perhaps_o in_o bed_n therefore_o the_o soul_n and_o body_n be_v two_o different_a part_n nay_o the_o soul_n may_v and_o often_o do_v mind_n and_o desire_v

to_o the_o law_n of_o my_o member_n but_o be_v it_o his_o body_n that_o war_v against_o his_o mind_n and_o bring_v it_o into_o captivity_n read_v the_o next_o verse_n you_o shall_v see_v o_o

without_o further_a proof_n for_o if_o the_o soul_n be_v the_o body_n or_o any_o part_n of_o the_o body_n it_o will_v nay_o must_v needs_o grow_v with_o the_o body_n and_o decline_v with_o the_o

be_v soul_n the_o same_o with_o or_o part_n of_o the_o body_n the_o great_a the_o body_n be_v the_o great_a will_v the_o soul_n be_v but_o the_o contrary_n appear_v those_o that_o be_v strong_a in_o mind_n be_v common_o weak_a in_o body_n and_o the_o soul_n be_v see_v to_o be_v full_a of_o liveliness_n in_o a_o languish_a body_n and_o to_o grow_v the_o more_o in_o force_n by_o the_o decay_n of_o the_o body_n by_o grow_v of_o the_o soul_n i_o mean_v mistake_v i_o not_o not_o that_o it_o increase_v or_o diminish_v it_o be_v capable_a of_o neither_o but_o its_o profit_v in_o power_n and_o

make_v the_o mixture_n of_o these_o body_n have_v for_o the_o perfect_a our_o body_n beyond_o nature_n breathe_v a_o soul_n into_o it_o to_o be_v short_a the_o property_n of_o a_o body_n be_v to_o

which_o be_v in_o our_o body_n cease_v not_o to_o stir_v up_o &_o down_o though_o it_o have_v nothing_o to_o move_v it_o from_o without_o therefore_o it_o be_v to_o be_v conclude_v from_o these_o
