they_o line_n other_o sort_n on_o which_o the_o virtue_n of_o thing_n do_v depend_v they_o err_v not_o much_o in_o this_o say_n only_o in_o appear_v to_o divide_v the_o godhead_n into_o diversity_n

they_o preserve_v the_o continuity_n and_o indivisibility_n in_o the_o soul_n they_o agree_v therefore_o with_o scripture_n in_o that_o their_o meaning_n be_v that_o this_o divine_a essence_n be_v

that_o the_o thing_n corrupt_v do_v endue_v the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n corrupt_v as_o for_o example_n if_o the_o dead_a carcase_n of_o a_o man_n be_v corrupt_v in_o the_o earth_n it_o be_v

the_o corruption_n be_v make_v in_o the_o water_n than_o the_o corrupt_a flesh_n or_o dead_a body_n will_v acquire_v or_o endue_v a_o waterish_a and_o masseluginous_a disposition_n which_o also_o will_v prove_v very_o incommodious_a or_o unprofitable_a for_o the_o conservation_n of_o the_o vital_a spirit_n and_o last_o by_o the_o inordinate_a violence_n of_o fire_n the_o spirit_n in_o the_o mummiall_a body_n will_v be_v consume_v waste_v or_o expire_v now_o the_o reason_n why_o these_o say_v corporal_a mummie_n in_o those_o estate_n be_v inconvenient_a for_o the_o conservation_n of_o health_n be_v because_o the_o foresay_a three_o do_v so_o destroy_v and_o corrupt_v the_o body_n of_o they_o that_o they_o make_v and_o constrain_v his_o earth_n his_o water_n and_o his_o fire_n to_o

air_n which_o only_o can_v be_v conserve_v in_o a_o body_n that_o be_v incorrupt_v it_o must_v of_o necessity_n follow_v that_o in_o the_o three_o foresay_a mummy_n those_o vivify_a spirit_n must_v needs_o vanish_v and_o fly_v away_o for_o want_v of_o a_o natural_a body_n which_o be_v now_o become_v corrupt_v and_o destroy_v and_o therefore_o unnatural_a see_v therefore_o nothing_o be_v require_v in_o the_o true_a mummy_n more_o than_o that_o which_o be_v apt_a and_o proper_a for_o the_o conservation_n of_o life_n yea_o for_o life_n itself_o which_o be_v the_o air_n which_o be_v banish_v and_o expel_v from_o the_o three_o foresaid_a mummy_n therefore_o nothing_o can_v be_v extract_v out_o of_o they_o but_o sickness_n death_n and_o destruction_n and_o consequent_o antipathetical_a effect_n so_o that_o if_o a_o sound_n murder_v oâ—_n strangle_v body_n do_v rot_n under_o the_o earth_n or_o in_o the_o water_n it_o be_v not_o fit_a or_o proper_a for_o the_o

therefore_o also_o where_o any_o such_o elementary_a corruption_n happen_v unto_o the_o body_n there_o the_o wholesome_a spirit_n of_o the_o corporal_a mummy_n with_o his_o habitacle_n or_o dwell_v
