A86451	The grand prerogative of humane nature namely, the souls naturall or native immortality, and freedome from corruption, shewed by many arguments, and also defended against the rash and rude conceptions of a late presumptuous authour, who hath adventured to impugne it. By G.H. Gent.	Holland, Guy, 1587?-1660.	1653 (1653)	Wing H2417; Thomason E1438_2; ESTC R202443	95,057	144

in_o proportion_n to_o these_o we_o be_v to_o think_v that_o the_o degree_n of_o reason_n though_o never_o so_o imperfect_a be_v essential_o distinct_a from_o that_o of_o sense_n though_o never_o so_o
