A53583	Man wholly mortal, or, A treatise wherein 'tis proved, both theologically and philosophically, that as whole man sinned, so whole man died ... with doubts and objections answered and resolved, both by Scripture and reason ... : also, divers other mysteries, as of heaven, hell, the extent of the resurrection, the new-creation, &c. opened, and presented to the trial of better judgment. / by R.O.; Mans mortallitie	Overton, Richard, fl. 1646.; Overton, Robert, ca. 1609-ca. 1668.	1675 (1675)	Wing O629C; Wing O640_CANCELLED; ESTC R11918	46,615	138

the_o several_a communication_n of_o one_o be_v but_o so_o many_o absolute_a irrelative_a being_n of_o themselves_o so_o that_o this_o doctrine_n of_o the_o soul_n imply_v no_o god_n if_o a_o god_n
