A37242	A work for none but angels & men. That is to be able to look into, and to know our selves. Or a book shewing what the soule is, subsisting and having its operations without the body; its more th[e]n a perfection or reflection of the sense, or teperature of humours: how she exercises her powers of vegetative or quickening power of the senses. Of the imaginations or common sense, the phantasie, sensative memory, passions motion of life, local motion, and intellectual powers of the soul. Of the wit, understanding, reason, opinion, judgement, power of will, and the relations betwixt wit & wil. Of the intellectual memory, that the soule is immortall, and cannot dye, cannot be destroyed, her cause ceaseth not, violence nor time cannot destroy her; and all objections answered to the contrary.; Nosce teipsum.

but_o as_o god_n handmaid_n nature_n do_v create_v body_n in_o time_n distinct_a and_o order_n due_a so_o god_n give_v soul_n the_o like_a successive_a date_n which_o himself_o make_v in_o body_n

from_o soul_n traduce_v as_o fire_n from_o fire_n or_o light_n from_o light_n do_v spring_n but_o many_o subtle_a wit_n have_v justify_v that_o soul_n from_o soul_n spiritual_o may_v spring_v which_o if_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o soul_n be_v try_v will_v even_o in_o nature_n prove_v as_o gross_a a_o thing_n for_o all_o thing_n make_v be_v either_o make_v of_o nought_o or_o make_v of_o stuff_n that_o ready_o make_v do_v stand_v nature_n of_o nought_o no_o creature_n ever_o form_v aught_o for_o that_o be_v proper_a to_o the_o almighty_n hand_n if_o then_o the_o soul_n another_o soul_n do_v

heavenly_a form_n do_v not_o agree_v with_o any_o matter_n which_o the_o world_n contain_v than_o she_o of_o nothing_o must_v create_v be_v and_o to_o create_v to_o god_n alone_o pertain_v again_o if_o soul_n do_v other_o soul_n beget_v it_o be_v by_o themselves_o or_o by_o the_o body_n power_n if_o by_o themselves_o what_o do_v their_o work_n let_v but_o they_o may_v soul_n engender_v every_o

shall_v we_o then_o the_o soul_n immortal_a prove_v if_o last_o soul_n do_v generation_n use_v then_o shall_v they_o spread_v incorruptible_a seed_n what_o then_o become_v of_o that_o which_o they_o
