scripture_n it_o be_v evident_a that_o god_n yet_o attend_v the_o noble_a work_n of_o creation_n of_o soul_n as_o in_o that_o place_n the_o soul_n will_v fail_v before_o i_o that_o i_o have_v make_v

saviour_n express_v it_o more_o than_o sparrow_n his_o more_o careful_a presidence_n over_o the_o nativity_n and_o production_n of_o man_n than_o beast_n and_o this_o not_o over_o their_o soul_n only_o for_o which_o those_o place_n be_v urge_v but_o over_o their_o body_n also_o as_o in_o the_o 33._o psalm_n if_o the_o infusiat_n will_v grant_v we_o but_o a_o equal_a latitude_n with_o they_o

the_o natural_a visible_a parent_n neither_o do_v all_o those_o other_o of_o the_o soul_n ob._n 3._o &_o 4._o but_o there_o remain_v scripture_n of_o more_o and_o great_a force_n in_o which_o god_n be_v set_v forth_o as_o the_o author_n and_o maker_n of_o the_o soul_n in_o a_o peculiar_a and_o distinct_a manner_n from_o the_o body_n where_o he_o be_v call_v the_o father_n of_o spirit_n and_o

the_o relation_n of_o our_o soul_n sonship_n to_o god_n that_o scripture_n have_v have_v some_o difficulty_n in_o it_o but_o our_o second_o birth_n be_v there_o clear_o intend_v in_o which_o sense_n

and_o i_o think_v that_o from_o these_o very_a scripture_n we_o may_v elicit_v no_o contemptible_a deduction_n in_o favour_n of_o the_o soul_n process_n from_o the_o visible_a parent_n argue_v that_o
