of_o the_o soul_n of_o christ_n st._n paul_n intend_v to_o say_v something_o extraordinary_a of_o he_o which_o be_v not_o common_a to_o he_o with_o the_o rest_n of_o man_n and_o to_o the_o end_n that_o that_o shall_v be_v it_o be_v requisite_a that_o the_o soul_n of_o all_o other_o man_n shall_v be_v individual_o male_a and_o female_a else_o it_o have_v be_v of_o no_o importance_n to_o say_v what_o he_o say_v of_o christ_n the_o apostle_n have_v tell_v we_o nothing_o of_o novelty_n in_o that_o particular_a but_o to_o give_v you_o a_o better_a interpretation_n of_o the_o thing_n it_o be_v the_o opinion_n of_o a_o learned_a man_n that_o st._n paul_n mean_v the_o whole_a jesus_n christ_n that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o his_o person_n compose_v of_o two_o nature_n divine_a and_o humane_a be_v singular_a and_o have_v nothing_o of_o similitude_n with_o other_o body_n except_o some_o organ_n that_o make_v the_o distinction_n of_o sex_n so_o as_o to_o be_v incline_v to_o the_o production_n of_o other_o of_o the_o same_o double_a nature_n and_o order_n so_o that_o this_o make_v nothing_o against_o my_o opinion_n but_o much_o for_o it_o and_o as_o to_o that_o other_o text_n which_o say_v that_o in_o heaven_n there_o be_v neither_o marry_v nor_o give_v in_o marriage_n it_z direct_o prove_v my_o assertion_n for_o virginity_n and_o celibacy_n be_v so_o far_o from_o deny_v sex_n that_o they_o suppose_v it_o thus_o christ_n do_v not_o intend_v to_o say_v that_o there_o will_v be_v no_o distinction_n of_o sex_n in_o heaven_n and_o if_o he_o do_v not_o assert_v this_o we_o be_v leave_v at_o liberty_n to_o believe_v there_o will_v for_o the_o reason_n i_o have_v here_o give_v which_o plain_o prove_v that_o glorify_a body_n shall_v be_v admit_v into_o heaven_n the_o body_n of_o male_a and_o female_a saint_n and_o that_o at_o present_a there_o be_v no_o other_o than_o male_a and_o female_a soul_n in_o that_o bless_a place_n except_o it_o be_v the_o body_n of_o jesus_n christ_n i_o may_v next_o consider_v the_o word_n of_o st._n austin_n and_o cyril_n who_o say_v all_o soul_n be_v alike_o but_o their_o opinion_n be_v mere_a conjecture_n without_o any_o further_a proof_n i_o shall_v pass_v it_o by_o in_o silence_n thus_o have_v large_o prove_v that_o there_o be_v a_o difference_n of_o sex_n in_o soul_n and_o consequent_o that_o we_o shall_v know_v one_o another_o in_o heaven_n
so_o of_o the_o other_o sense_n the_o reason_n of_o this_o be_v plain_a and_o convince_a for_o if_o both_o i_o mean_v the_o body_n of_o the_o just_a and_o unjust_a be_v not_o thus_o qualify_v they_o
