once_o for_o all_o the_o observer_n say_v by_o the_o word_n and_o term_n of_o body_n in_o this_o place_n be_v intend_v the_o whole_a person_n of_o christ_n who_o soul_n be_v sorrowful_a even_o unto_o

my_o god_n my_o god_n why_o have_v thou_o forsake_v i_o all_o which_o do_v sufficient_o prove_v that_o by_o the_o word_n body_n in_o this_o text_n the_o whole_a person_n of_o christ_n be_v

without_o a_o soul_n be_v dead_a and_o therefore_o can_v be_v kill_v by_o which_o instance_n and_o argument_n he_o think_v it_o well_o prove_v that_o though_o the_o redemption_n be_v call_v of_o the_o

we_o take_v it_o not_o for_o proof_n because_o it_o be_v but_o a_o parable_n speak_v as_o we_o conceive_v to_o a_o quite_o other_o intent_n and_o without_o design_n to_o teach_v any_o thing_n

where_o so_o much_o as_o say_v the_o soul_n of_o man_n be_v immortal_a how_o then_o can_v this_o opinion_n pass_v for_o natural_a among_o man_n of_o common_a understanding_n and_o read_n when_o it_o be_v so_o little_o mention_v and_o with_o so_o little_a certainty_n and_o so_o great_a obscurity_n throughout_o both_o the_o book_n of_o the_o old_a and_o new_a testament_n and_o upon_o this_o argument_n it_o shall_v be_v leave_v to_o the_o reader_n to_o conceive_v what_o he_o think_v fit_a concern_v the_o naturalness_n of_o this_o opinion_n mr._n m._n say_v further_a that_o god_n rule_v the_o world_n by_o the_o force_n and_o virtue_n of_o this_o opinion_n of_o the_o soul_n immortality_n to_o this_o the_o observer_n answer_v that_o if_o his_o mind_n be_v set_v upon_o make_v sharp_a

have_v no_o regard_n to_o this_o opinion_n at_o all_o p._n 45_o mr._n m._n say_v that_o the_o illiterate_a vulgar_a who_o be_v guide_v by_o the_o mere_a simple_a dictate_v of_o nature_n have_v more_o

whatsoever_o he_o build_v thereupon_o be_v a_o fallacy_n and_o it_o seem_v doubtful_a whether_o this_o misquoting_a be_v accidental_a or_o intentional_a because_o mr._n m._n in_o some_o other_o
