A33370	A paradisical dialogue betwixt faith and reason disputing the high mysterious secrets of eternity, the like never extant in our revelation. As touching God in eternity, how he became time in flesh, and how he dyed in the grave, and ascended to his glory again. Also what the angels are in form and nature, and how the angel became a devil, and that devil man; and that this world was prepared for the devil, so this the devils kingdom; and what the soul is, with the place of its glory and torment. With a brief narration what a commission is, and how many commissions there are; what the difference of their worships, and how that the law was given to the devil; with a brief discourse on the catechism, the Lords Prayer, and the creeds; as also, a divine prospect to the elect of the Lord. Written by Law. Claxton, the onely true bishop and faithful messenger of Christ Jesus, creator of heaven and earth.	Claxton, Laurence, 1615-1667.	1660 (1660)	Wing C4581; ESTC R215220	88,691	122

why_o i_o believe_v the_o soul_n can_v die_v because_o i_o conceive_v it_o a_o thing_n impossible_a the_o soul_n be_v a_o eternal_a spirit_n can_v be_v capable_a of_o death_n and_o beside_o solomon_n

it_o be_v conceive_v by_o all_o know_a man_n that_o life_n which_o thou_o call_v the_o soul_n be_v immortal_a and_o can_v die_v now_o that_o natural_a life_n that_o run_v in_o the_o blood_n may_v

say_v the_o soul_n go_v to_o god_n that_o give_v it_o faith_n have_v in_o our_o former_a writing_n make_v it_o appear_v that_o solomon_n be_v the_o high_a pitch_n of_o reason_n that_o ever_o be_v so_o what_o he_o speak_v be_v only_a knowledge_n in_o nature_n and_o not_o by_o the_o revelation_n of_o faith_n therefore_o no_o scripture_n for_o reason_n imagine_v thing_n that_o be_v not_o and_o thing_n that_o can_v be_v understand_v by_o any_o sober_a man_n much_o less_o by_o a_o man_n in_o revelation_n as_o to_o think_v that_o a_o immortal_a soul_n or_o spirit_n shall_v be_v limit_v to_o a_o
