all_o thing_n by_o the_o same_o the_o rabbin_n among_o the_o jew_n body_n a_o fable_n of_o the_o rabbin_n concern_v the_o conjunction_n of_o the_o soul_n with_o the_o body_n for_o the_o testifieng_v

seem_v to_o hinder_v and_o gainsay_v the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o flesh_n secondlie_o we_o will_v search_v out_o what_o be_v the_o nature_n thereof_o thirdlie_o whether_o by_o humane_a reason_n and_o that_o by_o such_o reason_n as_o be_v probable_a it_o may_v be_v prove_v and_o confirm_v moreover_o we_o will_v bring_v testimony_n out_o of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n as_o well_o of_o the_o old_a as_o of_o the_o new_a testament_n whereby_o it_o shall_v be_v prove_v that_o the_o same_o must_v in_o any_o wise_a be_v look_v for_o afterward_o we_o will_v entreat_v of_o the_o cause_n thereof_o over_o this_o some_o thing_n shall_v be_v speak_v of_o the_o condition_n and_o quality_n of_o they_o that_o shall_v rise_v again_o and_o last_o of_o all_o shall_v be_v confute_v the_o argument_n of_o they_o which_o seem_v to_o persuade_v that_o there_o shall_v be_v no_o resurrection_n and_o those_o argument_n will_v i_o first_o of_o all_o recite_v yet_o not_o all_o but_o those_o only_a which_o i_o shall_v judge_v to_o be_v of_o most_o importance_n by_o the_o confutation_n whereof_o other_o may_z easy_o be_v dissolve_v resurretion_n argument_n of_o they_o which_o deny_v the_o resurretion_n 7_o first_o porphyrius_n say_v that_o all_o body_n must_v be_v avoid_v for_o attain_v to_o the_o felicity_n of_o the_o soul_n because_o they_o hinder_v and_o further_o not_o the_o contemplation_n and_o knowledge_n of_o god_n wherein_o consist_v our_o felicity_n by_o which_o there_o seem_v to_o be_v affirm_v that_o soul_n can_v not_o perfect_o be_v make_v bless_v if_o they_o shall_v be_v couple_v again_o to_o their_o body_n further_o this_o can_v not_o be_v that_o when_o the_o body_n be_v already_o dissolve_v and_o be_v go_v into_o ash_n they_o shall_v return_v to_o their_o first_o element_n or_o to_o the_o first_o substance_n of_o their_o nature_n beside_o it_o happen_v sometime_o that_o a_o man_n be_v eat_v of_o a_o wolf_n a_o wolf_n of_o a_o lion_n a_o lion_n of_o the_o fowl_n of_o the_o air_n which_o afterward_o become_v the_o meat_n of_o other_o man_n therefore_o the_o flesh_n of_o the_o first_o man_n may_v not_o be_v discern_v from_o the_o flesh_n of_o the_o latter_a man_n moreover_o this_o will_v the_o more_o plain_o appear_v if_o we_o consider_v of_o those_o anthropophagi_n be_v man_n that_o feed_v upon_o man_n flesh_n whereby_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o the_o substance_n of_o humane_a body_n by_o that_o kind_n of_o mean_n be_v mingle_v wherefore_o if_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o resurrection_n of_o the_o dead_a unto_o which_o man_n shall_v those_o flesh_n be_v attribute_v to_o they_o that_o eat_v or_o to_o they_o that_o be_v eat_v we_o see_v also_o in_o nature_n that_o it_o be_v take_v for_o a_o impossibility_n that_o one_o and_o the_o same_o indivisible_a thing_n shall_v be_v restore_v to_o number_n when_o it_o have_v perish_v and_o therefore_o be_v generation_n appoint_v that_o at_o the_o leastwise_o by_o procreat_v like_o thing_n in_o kind_n order_n may_v be_v continue_v to_o this_o in_o death_n when_o the_o soul_n be_v take_v away_o from_o the_o body_n not_o only_o the_o thing_n accident_n thereunto_o be_v destroy_v but_o the_o essential_a beginning_n also_o whereby_o a_o man_n be_v make_v namely_o the_o body_n and_o also_o certain_a part_n of_o the_o mind_n as_o be_v the_o power_n of_o nourish_v and_o feel_v which_o can_v not_o be_v have_v without_o the_o body_n beside_o this_o if_o any_o quantity_n be_v sunder_v it_o be_v no_o more_o one_o in_o number_n but_o they_o be_v two_o quantity_n and_o a_o motion_n that_o surcease_v if_o it_o be_v begin_v again_o it_o may_v be_v in_o kind_a the_o same_o that_o it_o be_v but_o in_o number_n it_o shall_v be_v distinguish_v from_o the_o first_o for_o who_o be_v it_o that_o when_o he_o shall_v have_v walk_v a_o mile_n if_o he_o stand_v at_o rest_n for_o a_o while_n and_o afterward_o return_v can_v affirm_v that_o his_o latter_a walk_n be_v the_o very_a same_o that_o be_v before_o and_o this_o be_v not_o only_o perceive_v in_o quantity_n and_o motion_n and_o in_o thing_n that_o happen_v but_o also_o in_o quality_n and_o form_n for_o if_o a_o man_n enjoy_v health_n and_o do_v fall_v into_o a_o sickness_n the_o first_o health_n doubtless_o be_v go_v but_o if_o so_o be_v he_o afterward_o recover_v the_o health_n that_o happen_v be_v not_o altogether_o the_o same_o that_o the_o first_o be_v in_o like_a manner_n if_o body_n with_o all_o the_o thing_n belong_v unto_o they_o be_v to_o be_v restore_v all_o the_o humour_n hair_n and_o nail_n shall_v be_v give_v again_o and_o the_o heap_n will_v be_v monstrous_a but_o if_o all_o these_o thing_n shall_v not_o be_v restore_v but_o a_o certain_a of_o they_o there_o can_v be_v no_o reason_n make_v why_o rather_o one_o sort_n than_o a_o other_o shall_v be_v give_v again_o 8_o there_o be_v moreover_o in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n many_o place_n which_o be_v against_o resurrection_n if_o they_o shall_v be_v wey_v as_o they_o appear_v at_o the_o first_o sight_n in_o the_o 78._o psalm_n it_o be_v write_v 39_o verse_n 39_o that_o god_n do_v after_o a_o sort_n chasten_v the_o jew_n in_o the_o wilderness_n but_o that_o he_o will_v not_o utterlie_o pour_v out_o his_o wrath_n upon_o they_o because_o he_o remember_v say_v david_n that_o they_o be_v but_o flesh_n and_o as_o a_o spirit_n that_o pass_v away_o and_o come_v not_o again_o but_o if_o so_o be_v that_o the_o soul_n return_v not_o again_o there_o be_v no_o resurrection_n also_o it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o 114._o psalm_n the_o
