such_o i_o conceive_v the_o rise_n of_o the_o dead_a will_v be_v not_o a_o partial_a but_o a_o total_a resurrection_n of_o the_o person_n not_o first_o the_o body_n raise_v and_o then_o a_o

before_o that_o there_o be_v no_o mention_n in_o scripture_n of_o such_o expectation_n at_o or_o soon_o after_o the_o time_n of_o man_n death_n he_o give_v we_o here_o three_o of_o the_o most_o

to_o be_v expect_v by_o mankind_n but_o because_o i_o have_v say_v much_o and_o quote_v divers_a text_n of_o scripture_n upon_o that_o subject_a before_o and_o be_o now_o willing_a to_o save_v

observe_v that_o there_o be_v three_o thing_n principal_o and_o absolute_o necessary_a for_o the_o subsistence_n and_o life_n of_o the_o humane_a person_n viz._n blood_n breath_n and_o nutriment_n and_o thereupon_o do_v agree_v with_o moses_n that_o the_o life_n the_o animal_n be_v in_o the_o blood_n or_o that_o the_o blood_n be_v the_o life_n thereof_o who_o inflame_a particle_n be_v the_o spirit_n which_o act_n the_o person_n and_o as_o well_o the_o head_n as_o the_o member_n so_o long_o as_o life_n continue_v in_o the_o body_n next_o to_o which_o the_o breath_n have_v a_o principal_a and_o absolute_o necessary_a faculty_n and_o power_n of_o fan_v and_o inflame_v such_o particle_n of_o the_o blood_n as_o be_v employ_v in_o every_o part_n of_o the_o body_n and_o for_o refrigerate_v the_o internal_a part_n of_o the_o body_n with_o a_o perpetual_a refreshment_n which_o keep_v the_o paristaltick_a motion_n always_o in_o action_n among_o the_o inward_a and_o most_o vital_a part_n of_o the_o body_n whence_o daily_a experience_n assure_v we_o that_o by_o stop_v of_o the_o breath_n but_o for_o some_o few_o moment_n the_o spirit_n of_o life_n in_o man_n become_v absolute_o suffocate_v and_o extinguish_v and_o without_o breath_n no_o humane_a art_n or_o power_n can_v prolong_v the_o life_n of_o the_o person_n or_o other_o animal_n whatsoever_o concern_v nutriment_n it_o be_v only_o so_o far_o necessary_a to_o the_o life_n of_o the_o creature_n as_o the_o blood_n thereof_o waste_v and_o be_v consume_v by_o the_o circular_a continual_a motion_n and_o the_o inflammation_n thereof_o in_o some_o long_o continue_v and_o weaken_v disease_n the_o motion_n of_o the_o blood_n have_v be_v so_o weak_a and_o the_o inflammation_n thereof_o
so_o faint_a as_o that_o in_o such_o person_n there_o need_v no_o nutriment_n in_o a_o long_a time_n for_o restore_v the_o waste_n of_o blood_n in_o such_o person_n but_o in_o ordinary_a way_n of_o live_v our_o experience_n assure_v we_o that_o if_o the_o daily_a waste_n of_o blood_n be_v not_o supply_v by_o nourishment_n suitable_a to_o the_o consumption_n thereof_o the_o person_n must_v diminish_v in_o his_o strength_n and_o vigour_n and_o final_o perish_v and_o die_v for_o want_v of_o such_o sustenance_n as_o shall_v restore_v the_o stock_n of_o the_o waste_a blood_n and_o furnish_v the_o several_a part_n with_o such_o moisture_n and_o refreshment_n as_o thereunto_o shall_v be_v absolute_o needful_a and_o require_v we_o find_v a_o instance_n of_o this_o condition_n in_o david_n act_n when_o he_o come_v to_o ziklag_n his_o servant_n find_v a_o egyptian_a in_o the_o field_n starve_v and_o at_o the_o next_o door_n to_o death_n for_o he_o have_v neither_o eat_v nor_o drink_v in_o three_o day_n and_o night_n before_o but_o upon_o administer_a fresh_a sustenance_n to_o his_o waste_a spirit_n they_o become_v restore_v in_o great_a measure_n to_o their_o former_a activity_n which_o i_o conceive_v happen_v to_o he_o as_o it_o may_v do_v in_o the_o case_n of_o a_o lamp_n who_o oil_n be_v spend_v and_o exhaust_v the_o light_n will_v first_o grow_v dim_a and_o be_v ready_a to_o fail_v and_o be_v extinguish_v but_o be_v refresh_v by_o more_o oil_n administer_v to_o it_o it_o will_v soon_o recover_v the_o flame_n and_o light_n which_o it_o have_v before_o the_o text_n say_v when_o this_o man_n have_v eat_v the_o spirit_n come_v again_o to_o he_o in_o like_a manner_n it_o be_v relate_v of_o samson_n his_o be_v ready_a to_o die_v for_o thirst_n but_o as_o soon_o as_o he_o have_v drink_v of_o the_o water_n which_o issue_v from_o his_o jawbone_n that_o text_n say_v his_o spirit_n come_v again_o and_o he_o revive_v i_o conceive_v those_o place_n to_o be_v parallel_v with_o that_o text_n of_o 1_o king_n 17.22_o where_o in_o raise_v the_o widow_n son_n elijah_n pray_v lord_n let_v this_o child_n soul_n come_v into_o he_o again_o and_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o child_n come_v into_o he_o again_o and_o he_o revive_v i_o conceive_v that_o the_o come_n again_o of_o these_o three_o spirit_n as_o they_o be_v express_v in_o very_a like_o word_n so_o they_o be_v all_o of_o a_o like_a nature_n the_o spirit_n of_o the_o two_o former_a be_v not_o quite_o extinguish_v as_o that_o of_o elijah_n child_n be_v but_o upon_o the_o revival_n of_o they_o all_o it_o be_v say_v their_o spirit_n come_v to_o they_o again_o which_o i_o think_v may_v signify_v the_o rekindle_n or_o recontinue_v of_o that_o flame_n of_o life_n in_o their_o blood_n which_o we_o call_v the_o vital_a flame_n and_o whereby_o the_o humane_a machine_n or_o microcosm_n be_v put_v in_o motion_n and_o act_v so_o long_o as_o it_o please_v god_n to_o continue_v life_n unto_o it_o in_o the_o case_n of_o the_o egyptian_a at_o ziklag_n we_o may_v perceive_v that_o present_o upon_o the_o come_n of_o his_o spirit_n to_o he_o again_o the_o activity_n and_o use_v of_o all_o his_o sensation_n return_v instant_o to_o he_o so_o as_o he_o can_v not_o only_o move_v hear_v see_v etc._n etc._n but_o his_o understanding_n and_o memory_n become_v apt_a and_o ready_a for_o service_n as_o before_o whence_o i_o think_v we_o may_v reasonable_o collect_v that_o the_o original_a of_o act_v and_o understanding_n may_v proceed_v from_o the_o activity_n and_o motion_n of_o the_o blood_n and_o the_o inflame_a particle_n thereof_o which_o together_o with_o life_n and_o motion_n produce_v the_o sensation_n affection_n understanding_n and_o memory_n of_o men._n and_o have_v thus_o propound_v and_o in_o some_o measure_n prove_v that_o blood_n breath_n and_o nutriment_n be_v all_o absolute_o necessary_a for_o continuance_n of_o the_o life_n of_o man_n so_o as_o he_o can_v long_o abide_v in_o life_n without_o the_o continual_a assistance_n of_o every_o one_o of_o they_o i_o pretend_v to_o apply_v they_o to_o those_o different_a sort_n of_o spirit_n about_o which_o we_o be_v now_o dispute_v and_o therein_o if_o we_o shall_v proceed_v and_o make_v application_n of_o they_o to_o the_o extraneous_a telligent_a and_o separate_a spirit_n which_o mr._n w._n maintain_v to_o be_v the_o spirit_n of_o life_n in_o man_n i_o think_v we_o must_v find_v that_o all_o these_o three_o natural_a incident_n to_o the_o life_n of_o man_n have_v no_o coherence_n at_o all_o with_o such_o a_o spirit_n but_o be_v very_o incongruous_a with_o the_o be_v and_o nature_n of_o it_o because_o that_o forasmuch_o as_o we_o know_v concern_v the_o nature_n of_o such_o a_o spirit_n nutriment_n seem_v not_o to_o be_v necessary_a for_o the_o subsistence_n thereof_o and_o much_o less_o do_v breath_n and_o blood_n or_o the_o spirit_n of_o it_o seem_v pertinent_a or_o appliable_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o such_o a_o intelligent_a spirit_n and_o therefore_o if_o such_o a_o spirit_n be_v true_o the_o spirit_n of_o life_n in_o man_n the_o three_o material_n before_o mention_a as_o natural_a and_o inseparable_a incident_n to_o the_o continuance_n of_o man_n life_n shall_v not_o be_v so_o absolute_o necessary_a for_o that_o design_n as_o by_o daily_a experience_n they_o be_v find_v to_o be_v but_o if_o we_o shall_v now_o turn_v to_o the_o other_o side_n and_o make_v application_n to_o that_o superfine_n yet_o material_a and_o unintelligent_a spirit_n which_o before_o have_v be_v describe_v we_o must_v find_v that_o there_o will_v be_v a_o true_a and_o real_a necessity_n of_o the_o three_o beforenamed_n natural_a incident_n for_o the_o support_n supply_v and_o continuance_n of_o its_o activity_n and_o of_o life_n its_o self_n so_o as_o by_o this_o hypothesis_n the_o phaenomena_n of_o nature_n in_o man_n be_v more_o clear_o answer_v and_o may_v be_v better_o solve_v than_o can_v be_v do_v by_o apply_v these_o natural_a incident_n to_o a_o separable_a intelligent_a and_o extraneous_a spirit_n in_o man_n and_o i_o therefore_o conclude_v it_o more_o probable_a that_o the_o spirit_n of_o life_n in_o man_n be_v rather_o material_a and_o unintelligent_a than_o that_o it_o be_v a_o intelligent_a and_o separable_a spirit_n such_o as_o mr._n w._n and_o his_o partaker_n maintain_v the_o same_o to_o be_v a_o second_o objection_n from_o nature_n against_o mr._n w_n opinion_n i_o raise_v from_o the_o further_a consideration_n of_o the_o humane_a person_n and_o more_o particular_o from_o the_o bodily_a organ_n thereof_o and_o say_v thereupon_o that_o god_n or_o nature_n have_v so_o frame_v and_o fit_v every_o one_o of_o they_o as_o they_o be_v wonderful_o apt_a for_o those_o office_n which_o they_o be_v intend_v to_o perform_v of_o which_o for_o example_n we_o may_v name_v the_o eye_n and_o tongue_n which_o be_v admirable_o frame_v and_o fit_v for_o their_o several_a office_n so_o as_o the_o spirit_n of_o life_n be_v by_o mean_n of_o these_o instrument_n able_a to_o perform_v such_o action_n as_o nature_n intend_v they_o for_o and_o yet_o the_o perfection_n or_o defect_n in_o those_o performance_n seem_v not_o so_o much_o to_o depend_v upon_o that_o spirit_n which_o inform_v and_o act_v they_o as_o upon_o the_o structure_n soundness_n and_o perfection_n of_o the_o organ_n themselves_o without_o such_o organ_n the_o man_n can_v neither_o see_v nor_o speak_v but_o when_o the_o organ_n be_v sound_a and_o perfect_a the_o owner_n can_v use_v they_o as_o perfect_o as_o any_o other_o can_v ordinary_o do_v but_o if_o there_o be_v any_o obstruction_n in_o the_o optic_a nerve_n or_o in_o those_o which_o act_n the_o tongue_n the_o spirit_n of_o life_n in_o the_o owner_n can_v act_v they_o no_o otherway_n than_o they_o be_v still_o capable_a of_o for_o the_o tongue_n will_v lisp_v stammer_v stop_v struggle_v and_o blutter_v do_v the_o man_n and_o his_o spirit_n of_o life_n what_o they_o can_v for_o the_o rectification_n of_o such_o infirmity_n and_o so_o will_v the_o eye_n be_v purr-blind_a double_a or_o treble_v sight_v weak_a dim_a and_o blindish_a do_v the_o owner_n and_o his_o spirit_n of_o life_n what_o they_o can_v for_o the_o recovery_n and_o rectify_v of_o they_o so_o as_o the_o spirit_n of_o life_n can_v act_v the_o organ_n to_o no_o high_a a_o degree_n of_o perfection_n than_o the_o soundness_n and_o rectitude_n of_o the_o organ_n itself_o will_v bear_v nor_o act_n it_o in_o other_o manner_n than_o it_o be_v fit_a and_o capable_a at_o that_o time_n to_o be_v act_v and_o i_o conceive_v that_o the_o principal_a perfection_n of_o the_o faculty_n of_o sece_v and_o speak_v lie_v more_o in_o the_o sound_a state_n and_o activity_n of_o the_o organ_n than_o in_o the_o power_n and_o energy_n of_o that_o spirit_n which_o act_v they_o and_o yet_o
i_o think_v that_o the_o purity_n and_o force_n of_o such_o spirit_n may_v be_v very_o conduce_v to_o the_o perfect_a performance_n of_o the_o faculty_n and_o yet_o can_v act_v no_o far_o than_o the_o

i_o think_v that_o the_o difference_n which_o we_o find_v among_o man_n faculty_n of_o this_o nature_n wherein_o there_o be_v great_a degree_n of_o perfection_n and_o imperfection_n do_v more_o depend_v upon_o the_o soundness_n and_o fitness_n of_o the_o organ_n than_o upon_o the_o different_a degree_n of_o activity_n among_o the_o spirit_n of_o they_o and_o if_o we_o shall_v ascend_v to_o the_o consideration_n of_o the_o humane_a intellect_n we_o may_v find_v that_o the_o act_n and_o perfection_n thereof_o lie_v in_o and_o by_o the_o brain_n and_o that_o the_o fantasy_n lie_v

whence_o if_o there_o happen_v any_o defect_n or_o crasiness_n in_o any_o of_o these_o faculty_n or_o power_n of_o intellect_n physician_n both_o do_v and_o aught_o to_o apply_v their_o medicine_n for_o the_o recovery_n of_o they_o to_o the_o organ_n or_o part_n of_o the_o head_n which_o be_v the_o proper_a instrument_n of_o such_o faculty_n if_o the_o fantasy_n be_v disorder_v the_o remedy_n thereof_o must_v be_v apply_v to_o the_o forepart_n of_o the_o head_n or_o the_o forehead_n if_o the_o judgement_n be_v craze_v such_o remedy_n must_v be_v apply_v to_o the_o middle_a part_n of_o

from_o all_o these_o premise_n i_o be_o very_o apt_a to_o collect_v that_o if_o the_o spirit_n of_o life_n in_o man_n be_v a_o intelligent_a separable_a and_o extraneous_a be_v thing_n can_v not_o
