frame_v this_o argument_n that_o the_o spirit_n return_v no_o more_o into_o the_o body_n see_v it_o be_v say_v that_o it_o shall_v not_o know_v the_o place_n thereof_o any_o more_o but_o they_o will_v say_v that_o they_o make_v hereon_o a_o false_a collection_n because_o the_o place_n of_o the_o resurrection_n be_v very_o manifest_a against_o this_o manner_n of_o reason_v yea_o and_o they_o themselves_o make_v a_o ill_a collection_n who_o argument_n be_v common_a with_o the_o rest_n and_o that_o say_v in_o the_o book_n call_v ecclesiasticus_fw-la be_v almost_o like_a for_o there_o it_o be_v say_v the_o number_n of_o a_o man_n day_n for_o the_o more_o part_n be_v a_o hundred_o year_n and_o no_o man_n have_v certain_a knowledge_n of_o his_o death_n as_o drop_n of_o rain_n be_v unto_o

with_o man_n &_o pour_v out_o his_o mercy_n upon_o they_o and_o therefore_o they_o must_v needs_o confess_v that_o the_o proyhet_n have_v another_o meaning_n then_o that_o which_o they_o dream_v of_o that_o god_n of_o his_o goodness_n have_v compassion_n of_o those_o who_o he_o have_v allow_v to_o be_v his_o and_o that_o only_a through_o his_o mercy_n and_o that_o if_o he_o pull_v back_o his_o hand_n never_o so_o little_a from_o they_o they_o return_v into_o dust_n from_o whence_o they_o be_v take_v and_o a_o little_a after_o he_o make_v a_o short_a description_n of_o the_o life_n of_o man_n compare_v it_o unto_o a_o flower_n which_o spring_v to_o day_n be_v no_o better_a than_o grass_n the_o next_o morning_n so_o that_o if_o it_o be_v to_o be_v say_v that_o the_o spirit_n of_o man_n pearish_v and_o come_v to_o nought_o yet_o be_v not_o their_o error_n any_o whit_n strengthen_v thereby_o for_o when_o we_o say_v that_o the_o spirit_n of_o man_n be_v immortal_a we_o do_v not_o

please_v that_o we_o shall_v thus_o blaspheme_v but_o we_o say_v that_o the_o spirit_n be_v uphold_v by_o the_o hand_n and_o blessing_n of_o god_n and_o so_o defend_v ireneus_fw-la also_o the_o immortality_n of_o the_o soul_n with_o we_o marcian_n ireneus_fw-la in_o his_o 3._o book_n against_o marcian_n and_o yet_o will_v he_o have_v we_o understand_v that_o by_o nature_n we_o be_v mortal_a and_o that_o god_n alone_o be_v immortal_a and_o he_o speak_v it_o after_o this_o fort_n to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v not_o be_v puff_v up_o with_o vain_a glory_n as_o if_o we_o have_v life_n as_o it_o be_v of_o ourselves_o neither_o yet_o proud_o lift_v up_o ourselves_o against_o god_n but_o that_o we_o may_v learn_v by_o experience_n that_o it_o proceed_v from_o his_o almightiness_n and_o not_o from_o our_o nature_n that_o we_o have_v a_o firm_a and_o everlasting_a perseveraunce_n and_o thus_o you_o see_v what_o the_o controversy_n be_v which_o we_o have_v against_o david_n who_o they_o make_v so_o mighty_a a_o adversary_n against_o us._n now_o he_o say_v that_o if_o the_o lord_n take_v his_o mercy_n away_o from_o man_n that_o then_o he_o come_v to_o nought_o an_o pearish_v and_o
