A46060	The immortality of mans soule, proved both by scripture and reason contrary to the fancie of R.O. in his book intituled Mans mortality ...	Hooker, Thomas, 1586-1647.	1645 (1645)	Wing I57; ESTC R9011	27,478	48

life_n to_o the_o terrene_a part_n of_o it_o which_o die_v and_o consume_v whereas_o the_o other_o have_v none_o so_o if_o man_n have_v no_o immortal_a spirit_n in_o he_o here_o be_v no_o place_n
