body_n can_v be_v the_o soul_n because_o it_o can_v be_v a_o spirit_n or_o else_o if_o it_o be_v convert_v into_o spirit_n it_o be_v no_o more_o a_o body_n as_o also_o the_o spirit_n be_v no_o more_o

personal_a union_n yet_o for_o all_o that_o they_o remain_v always_o distinct_a in_o their_o unity_n according_a to_o their_o propriety_n distinct●_n and_o not_o confuse_v in_o sort_n that_o the_o

which_o thing_n can_v be_v for_o god_n can_v never_o be_v but_o god_n instruct_v wherefore_o he_o can_v not_o be_v convert_v into_o man_n but_o he_o may_v well_o unite_v man_n to_o himself_o as_o he_o
