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

to_o be_v immortal_a natural_o if_o they_o prove_v any_o thing_n at_o all_o as_o most_o wise_a philosopher_n do_v conceive_v they_o do_v i_o prove_v the_o same_o out_o of_o holy_a scripture_n against_o the_o assertion_n of_o leviathan_n it_o be_v confess_v the_o scripture_n say_v the_o soul_n of_o man_n be_v immortal_a &_o do_v live_v after_o death_n not_o add_v any_o where_n that_o this_o same_o immortality_n be_v out_o of_o grace_n of_o favour_n therefore_o in_o effect_n it_o say_v every_o where_o when_o it_o speak_v of_o that_o point_n that_o it_o be_v immortal_a natural_o the_o antecedent_n be_v certain_a by_o the_o survey_n of_o those_o several_a place_n cite_v by_o valentia_n the_o conimbricenses_n &_o nic._n baius_n the_o consequence_n i_o prove_v to_o be_v a_o good_a one_o therefore_o because_o word_n be_v ever_o to_o be_v understand_v in_o their_o usual_a and_o proper_a signification_n except_o some_o adjoin_a word_n or_o circumstance_n of_o the_o speaker_n do_v imply_v the_o contrary_n but_o in_o the_o scripture_n wheresoever_o it_o teach_v the_o immortality_n of_o the_o soul_n there_o be_v no_o such_o word_n or_o circumstance_n ergo_fw-la they_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v of_o such_o a_o incorruptibility_n as_o be_v natural_a because_o that_o only_o be_v the_o usual_a meaning_n of_o such_o word_n as_o signify_v a_o immortality_n as_o the_o term_n man_n utter_v without_o limitation_n simple_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v for_o a_o real_a and_o natural_a man_n and_o not_o for_o a_o paint_a one_o or_o metaphorical_a to_o this_o i_o add_v that_o the_o verity_n of_o the_o soul_n be_v immortal_a nature_n be_v not_o attest_v single_o and_o simple_o but_o beside_o as_o a_o certainty_n and_o a_o verity_n not_o to_o be_v call_v into_o question_n even_o abstract_v from_o those_o philosophical_a argument_n common_o bring_v to_o prove_v it_o be_v demonstrative_a or_o no_o certain_o their_o form_n at_o least_o be_v demonstrative_a because_o draw_v ab_fw-la effectis_fw-la thus_o much_o be_v in_o substance_n assert_v by_o aureolus_n 2._o do_v 19_o that_o the_o soul_n say_v he_o be_v immortal_a be_v a_o doctrine_n of_o say_v to_o be_v hold_v most_o firm_o and_o be_v also_o the_o common_a conception_n of_o our_o understanding_n and_o a_o verity_n that_o be_v evident_a although_o it_o be_v not_o so_o easy_a to_o find_v out_o a_o reason_n for_o it_o divers_a of_o those_o which_o be_v bring_v be_v not_o conclude_v thus_o pronounce_v he_o concern_v the_o certainty_n of_o this_o doctrine_n even_o in_o case_n the_o argument_n for_o it_o shall_v not_o be_v think_v convince_a and_o that_o it_o may_v be_v so_o stand_v with_o great_a reason_n because_o we_o be_v very_o sure_a of_o many_o natural_a verity_n for_o which_o nevertheless_o we_o be_v not_o able_a to_o render_v any_o such_o reason_n as_o be_v compel_v or_o demonstrative_a for_o we_o do_v not_o learn_v all_o we_o know_v by_o the_o force_n of_o formal_a argument_n or_o syllogism_n but_o rather_o by_o virtual_a proof_n and_o a_o secret_a intelligence_n settle_v by_o nature_n betwixt_o our_o mind_n and_o truth_n yet_o this_o i_o do_v not_o say_v as_o if_o i_o do_v not_o judge_v the_o reason_n for_o immortality_n to_o be_v efficacious_a but_o only_o to_o prevent_v evasion_n and_o in_o particular_a that_o one_o of_o pontius_n who_o in_o the_o place_n before_o cite_v venture_n to_o affirm_v that_o the_o immortality_n of_o the_o soul_n be_v not_o know_v for_o a_o certainty_n by_o the_o force_n of_o natural_a reason_n therefore_o because_o he_o hold_v that_o the_o argument_n bring_v in_o favour_n of_o it_o do_v not_o convince_v which_o assertion_n of_o he_o be_v not_o only_o a_o disparagement_n of_o so_o noble_a and_o fundamental_a a_o truth_n but_o beside_o seem_v very_o false_a and_o give_v no_o small_a offence_n because_o admit_v the_o argument_n for_o it_o be_v as_o notconvince_v as_o he_o himself_o pretend_v yet_o nevertheless_o the_o truth_n itself_o may_v be_v very_o certain_a even_o by_o natural_a reason_n as_o aureolus_n a_o very_a great_a master_n before_o have_v signify_v and_o if_o it_o have_v not_o be_v so_o how_o can_v all_o nation_n have_v conspire_v about_o it_o and_o that_o they_o have_v do_v so_o we_o may_v find_v both_o by_o the_o perusal_n of_o the_o ethnic_a writer_n as_o also_o by_o the_o

argument_n to_o be_v yet_o be_v not_o he_o able_a to_o give_v they_o any_o good_a solution_n although_o he_o endeavour_v to_o do_v it_o and_o beside_o do_v not_o put_v they_o home_o as_o may_v be_v perceive_v by_o any_o indifferent_a survey_n the_o reason_n however_o disparage_v will_v be_v able_a to_o justify_v themselves_o and_o the_o easy_a because_o such_o as_o do_v undervalue_v and_o impugn_v they_o be_v drive_v into_o such_o streit_n as_o they_o be_v enforce_v to_o call_v in_o question_n sundry_a fundamental_a truth_n which_o be_v acknowledge_v general_o for_o certain_a and_o evident_a as_o for_o example_n that_o there_o be_v one_o rectour_n of_o mankind_n who_o according_a to_o justice_n will_v reward_v and_o punish_v second_o that_o the_o general_a conception_n of_o

although_o they_o do_v not_o deny_v they_o to_o be_v true_a yet_o they_o will_v not_o grant_v they_o to_o be_v evident_a against_o such_o dangerous_a rock_n as_o these_o be_v they_o drive_v who_o will_v not_o yield_v that_o the_o reason_n bring_v to_o prove_v the_o immortality_n be_v conclude_v from_o which_o inconvenience_n the_o other_o side_n of_o classical_a doctor_n be_v very_o safe_a and_o free_a as_o for_o holkot_n in_o say_n cap._n 2._o lect_n 14._o although_o he_o do_v not_o magnify_v those_o reason_n which_o be_v usual_o urge_v for_o this_o immortality_n affirm_v of_o they_o that_o they_o do_v not_o press_v more_o than_o those_o other_o do_v which_o be_v common_o produce_v against_o the_o possible_a eternity_n of_o the_o world_n yet_o he_o himself_o confess_v they_o to_o be_v good_a though_o not_o demonstrative_a add_v three_o argument_n of_o his_o own_o and_o also_o acknowledge_v that_o this_o same_o immortality_n be_v a_o doctrine_n deliver_v by_o the_o chief_a of_o the_o philosophet_n maintain_v by_o the_o catholic_n writer_n and_o prove_v for_o a_o truth_n by_o miracle_n innumerable_a now_o admit_v these_o argument_n to_o be_v no_o less_o efficacious_a than_o those_o other_o against_o the_o eternity_n this_o can_v prejudice_v they_o much_o because_o many_o man_n of_o great_a learning_n and_o judgement_n be_v of_o opinion_n that_o these_o against_o the_o eternity_n be_v not_o only_o good_a but_o also_o demonstration_n moreover_o allow_v these_o for_o immortality_n be_v not_o in_o rigour_n demonstration_n yet_o all_o particular_n be_v cast_v up_o we_o shall_v find_v that_o man_n general_o do_v give_v a_o constant_a assent_n to_o sundry_a natural_a verity_n upon_o less_o evidence_n than_o these_o concern_v pomponatius_n we_o be_v to_o understand_v that_o he_o be_v trouble_v in_o conscience_n for_o what_o he_o former_o have_v write_v in_o prejudice_n of_o immortality_n and_o therefore_o like_o a_o good_a christian_a do_v not_o only_o relinquish_v that_o error_n of_o he_o but_o beside_o make_v suit_n by_o a_o letter_n to_o javellus_fw-la a_o person_n of_o eminent_a learning_n that_o he_o will_v be_v please_v to_o give_v the_o
