A44026	Innocency, though under a cloud, cleared By P.H. a poor prisoner, when almost sunk under pretended friends censures in the day of his sufferings. And also, a discovery of the comforts that attends innocency in a prison. As also, twenty four usefull particulars left by him for his children and friends, and being left in a friends hand for his relations, I could not but make them publick; judging it will be no loss to the author, and great gain to the reader, and justly give offence to none.

a_o soul_n or_o spirit_n in_o man_n that_o live_v though_o the_o body_n die_v and_o also_o give_v you_o a_o hint_n of_o some_o of_o the_o privilege_n that_o the_o soul_n enjoy_v after_o its_o

reason_n be_v ground_v on_o gen._n 35.10_o we_o reason_v thus_o have_v there_o be_v nothing_o to_o have_v live_v and_o go_v to_o god_n it_o can_v not_o have_v be_v a_o departure_n but_o a_o

the_o body_n the_o second_o reason_n be_v from_o 1_o king_n 17.21_o 22._o and_o he_o stretch_v himself_o upon_o the_o child_n three_o time_n and_o cry_v unto_o the_o lord_n and_o say_v o_o lord_n my_o

to_o he_o again_o and_o he_o revive_v have_v the_o child_n soul_n be_v dead_a the_o prophet_n will_v not_o have_v pray_v that_o it_o may_v return_v to_o the_o body_n but_o that_o it_o may_v live_v again_o but_o god_n hear_v he_o and_o return_v the_o soul_n of_o the_o child_n and_o then_o the_o body_n revive_v have_v the_o soul_n be_v dead_a both_o must_v have_v revive_v but_o the_o one_o return_n the_o other_o revive_v so_o they_o be_v not_o both_o in_o one_o capacity_n the_o three_o reason_n be_v from_o eccles_n 3.21_o who_o know_v the_o spirit_n of_o a_o man_n that_o go_v upward_o and_o the_o spirit_n the_o of_o beast_n that_o go_v downward_o to_o the_o earth_n the_o reason_n lie_v clear_a do_v the_o soul_n of_o a_o man_n die_v when_o the_o body_n die_v it_o die_v as_o a_o beast_n but_o here_o be_v a_o distinction_n so_o that_o there_o be_v a_o difference_n and_o where_o lie_v it_o the_o text_n tell_v you_o that_o dust_n go_v to_o dust_n but_o the_o spirit_n to_o god_n that_o give_v it_o so_o that_o it_o be_v clear_a that_o there_o be_v a_o part_n of_o a_o man_n that_o depart_v and_o life_n when_o the_o body_n die_v the_o four_o reason_n be_v from_o mat._n 10.28_o and_o fear_v not_o they_o that_o kill_v the_o body_n but_o be_v not_o able_a to_o kill_v the_o soul_n but_o rather_o fear_v he_o which_o be_v able_a to_o destroy_v both_o soul_n and_o body_n in_o hell_n a_o good_a ground_n to_o prove_v this_o for_o christ_n say_v fear_v not_o they_o that_o can_v kill_v the_o body_n but_o be_v not_o able_a to_o kill_v the_o soul_n now_o if_o the_o soul_n die_v with_o the_o body_n than_o he_o that_o kill_v one_o must_v of_o necessity_n kill_v the_o other_o but_o christ_n say_v plain_o they_o may_v kill_v the_o body_n but_o not_o the_o soul_n so_o there_o be_v a_o soul_n or_o part_n of_o man_n that_o live_v though_o the_o body_n die_v the_o five_o reason_n be_v from_o act._n 7.59_o and_o they_o stone_v stephen_n call_v upon_o god_n and_o say_v lord_n jesus_n receive_v my_o spirit_n if_o there_o have_v be_v nothing_o in_o stephen_n but_o what_o be_v to_o die_v his_o prayer_n have_v be_v needless_a but_o when_o his_o body_n be_v to_o die_v he_o pray_v that_o god_n will_v receive_v his_o spirit_n so_o there_o be_v a_o spirit_n or_o soul_n to_o depart_v and_o be_v receive_v though_o the_o body_n die_v the_o six_o reason_n be_v from_o 2_o cor._n 4.16_o for_o which_o cause_n we_o faint_v not_o but_o though_o our_o outward_a man_n perish_v yet_o the_o inward_a man_n be_v renew_v day_n by_o day_n from_o whence_o we_o reason_n thus_o if_o all_o in_o man_n that_o be_v one_o with_o man_n die_v when_o the_o body_n die_v than_o when_o the_o body_n have_v on_o it_o any_o part_n of_o death_n or_o decay_n all_o in_o the_o body_n that_o be_v its_o own_o must_v be_v so_o too_o but_o here_o you_o see_v there_o be_v something_o that_o increase_v and_o get_v up_o when_o the_o body_n decrease_v and_o go_v down_o the_o seven_o reason_n be_v from_o 2_o cor._n 5.6_o 8._o therefore_o we_o be_v always_o confident_a know_v that_o whilst_o we_o be_v at_o home_n in_o the_o body_n we_o be_v absent_a from_o the_o lord_n and_o in_o v._o 8._o we_o be_v confident_a i_o say_v and_o willing_a rather_o to_o be_v absent_a from_o the_o body_n and_o to_o be_v present_a with_o the_o lord_n in_o which_o word_n you_o may_v see_v that_o there_o be_v some_o part_n of_o man_n which_o when_o the_o body_n die_v be_v absent_a from_o the_o body_n and_o at_o that_o present_n be_v present_a with_o the_o lord_n now_o if_o all_o in_o man_n that_o be_v of_o man_n do_v die_v with_o the_o body_n than_o there_o be_v nothing_o to_o be_v present_a with_o god_n but_o you_o may_v here_o see_v it_o be_v and_o it_o be_v that_o which_o the_o apostle_n groan_v for_o the_o eight_o reason_n be_v from_o heb._n 12.9_o furthermore_o we_o have_v have_v father_n of_o our_o flesh_n which_o correct_v we_o and_o we_o give_v they_o reverence_n shall_v we_o not_o
