the_o second_o prophet_n who_o dispensation_n be_v to_o continue_v till_o the_o come_n of_o jesus_n christ_n who_o they_o call_v the_o breath_n of_o god_n acknowledge_v that_o he_o be_v conceive_a

for_o believe_v that_o god_n will_v punish_v a_o man_n eternal_o for_o the_o offence_n of_o so_o short_a a_o life_n yet_o since_o they_o be_v extreme_o afraid_a of_o hell_n they_o pray_v very_o

the_o soul_n be_v rest_v in_o the_o grave_a after_o death_n to_o be_v very_o absurd_a and_o ridiculous_a i_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o give_v you_o a_o clear_a idea_n of_o their_o thought_n on_o that_o

two_o substance_n be_v hypostatical_o unite_v and_o that_o death_n consist_v in_o their_o separation_n they_o imagine_v that_o the_o soul_n and_o body_n have_v no_o dependence_n on_o one_o another_o and_o that_o the_o absence_n of_o the_o spirit_n which_o for_o example_n may_v take_v a_o journey_n to_o paradise_n be_v not_o necessary_o attend_v with_o the_o destruction_n of_o the_o corporeal_a machine_n though_o they_o acknowledge_v that_o the_o body_n be_v always_o deprive_v of_o reason_n during_o its_o separation_n from_o the_o soul_n thus_o they_o believe_v that_o the_o only_a reason_n why_o a_o fool_n or_o idiot_n act_n and_o speak_v absurd_o be_v because_o his_o soul_n and_o consequent_o his_o reason_n have_v forsake_v he_o as_o for_o lunatic_n and_o hypochondriacal_a person_n who_o have_v some_o lucid_a interval_n and_o be_v only_o deprive_v of_o their_o reason_n by_o fit_n they_o endeavour_v to_o solve_v the_o difficulty_n by_o maintain_v that_o the_o soul_n leave_v her_o

distemper_a person_n or_o for_o some_o other_o hide_a design_n when_o a_o christian_a tell_v they_o that_o these_o fit_n of_o madness_n proceed_v from_o the_o disorder_n and_o indisposition_n of_o the_o organ_n which_o hinder_v the_o soul_n from_o perform_v her_o function_n they_o upbraid_v he_o with_o the_o absurdity_n of_o his_o opinion_n for_o say_v they_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n be_v a_o

from_o this_o principle_n they_o infer_v that_o neither_o the_o presence_n nor_o absence_n of_o the_o soul_n can_v produce_v any_o alteration_n in_o the_o machinal_a course_n of_o the_o body_n which_o be_v only_o move_v by_o spring_n and_o that_o when_o one_o of_o the_o principal_a spring_n fail_v or_o be_v spoil_v the_o soul_n can_v prevent_v the_o ruin_n of_o the_o whole_a engine_n this_o they_o pretend_v be_v a_o obvious_a truth_n and_o confirm_v by_o daily_a experience_n and_o therefore_o we_o must_v not_o be_v surprise_v that_o a_o dead_a body_n neither_o walk_n breathe_n nor_o perform_v any_o operation_n though_o the_o soul_n be_v still_o lodge_v in_o it_o for_o since_o she_o be_v not_o the_o author_n of_o the_o machine_n which_o she_o inhabit_v it_o be_v beyond_o her_o power_n either_o to_o keep_v it_o entire_a or_o to_o repair_v it_o after_o it_o fall_v to_o decay_v god_n alone_o who_o make_v and_o contrive_v it_o can_v restore_v it_o and_o renew_v its_o motion_n as_o he_o will_v do_v at_o the_o last_o day_n to_o confirm_v this_o hypothesis_n they_o cite_v with_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o confidence_n what_o pliny_n relate_v of_o a_o man_n who_o soul_n and_o body_n be_v wont_a to_o be_v separate_v every_o day_n so_o that_o the_o body_n remain_v without_o any_o appearance_n of_o life_n or_o motion_n till_o the_o return_n of_o the_o soul_n which_o afterward_o use_v

the_o dangerous_a consequence_n of_o that_o abuse_n they_o confine_v themselves_o to_o a_o certain_a antic_a way_n of_o paint_v which_o be_v extreme_o unnatural_a especial_o in_o their_o figure_n of_o
