virtue_n and_o now_o have_v fix_v the_o identity_n of_o the_o animal_n part_n in_o this_o life_n together_o with_o its_o integral_a part_n and_o appendage_n it_o will_v be_v easy_a to_o determine_v wherein_o the_o identity_n of_o the_o rise_a body_n and_o consequent_o of_o the_o whole_a man_n consist_v and_o how_o it_o may_v be_v preserve_v and_o first_o i_o think_v we_o be_v not_o oblige_v to_o proceed_v upon_o the_o aristotelian_a principle_n of_o generation_n and_o corruption_n which_o pronounce_v every_o little_a transmutation_n of_o matter_n a_o total_a destruction_n of_o the_o individual_a and_o though_o the_o same_o particle_n be_v re-collected_n and_o form_v into_o a_o be_v of_o the_o same_o model_n yet_o make_v it_o to_o be_v a_o new_a individual_a with_o submission_n then_o the_o most_o direct_a method_n to_o assert_v the_o identity_n of_o the_o rise_a body_n be_v to_o resolve_v it_o into_o its_o first_o principle_n dust_n for_o dust_n we_o be_v and_o unto_o dust_n must_v we_o return_v and_o certain_o dust_n must_v be_v the_o material_n of_o the_o rise_a body_n if_o therefore_o there_o be_v sufficient_a material_n of_o this_o kind_n leave_v in_o the_o chamber_n of_o nature_n for_o each_o respective_a body_n it_o be_v the_o special_a business_n of_o omnipotence_n to_o form_v they_o into_o the_o integral_a part_n of_o a_o humane_a body_n and_o in_o this_o sense_n give_v to_o every_o seed_n it_o be_v own_o body_n but_o as_o for_o the_o original_a of_o this_o stock_n of_o matter_n i_o do_v not_o think_v it_o necessary_a that_o socrates_n rise_a body_n shall_v be_v whole_o compound_v as_o some_o will_v have_v it_o of_o those_o particle_n which_o be_v the_o remain_v of_o socrates_n dead_a body_n for_o its_o certain_o sufficient_a if_o to_o these_o a_o supply_n be_v call_v in_o from_o any_o evaporate_v particle_n that_o be_v once_o real_a appendage_n of_o socrates_n live_a body_n second_o it_o can_v be_v sufficient_a to_o establish_v the_o identity_n of_o socrates_n rise_a body_n if_o it_o only_o enjoy_v so_o many_o particle_n of_o his_o animal_n or_o die_a body_n as_o serve_v to_o make_v up_o the_o bone_n and_o principal_a vessel_n and_o the_o rest_n as_o other_o contend_v by_o a_o plastic_a power_n or_o seminal_a principle_n make_v up_o from_o foreign_a adventitious_a matter_n in_o a_o word_n then_o i_o think_v it_o be_v absolute_o necessary_a that_o all_o the_o necessary_a integral_a part_n of_o socrates_n rise_a body_n even_o flesh_n and_o blood_n shall_v be_v make_v up_o of_o the_o particle_n of_o socrates_n die_a body_n or_o at_o least_o of_o those_o evaporate_v one_o of_o his_o live_a body_n and_o and_o when_o substance_n life_n lineament_n and_o the_o proportion_n of_o a_o humane_a body_n be_v form_v out_o of_o the_o aforesaid_a mass_n of_o matter_n god_n may_v add_v what_o embellishment_n he_o please_v from_o the_o stock_n of_o common_a matter_n and_o yet_o socrates_n body_n be_v undoubted_o raise_v and_o when_o the_o individual_a soul_n or_o spirit_n of_o socrates_n be_v unite_v to_o this_o rise_a body_n socrates_n be_v certain_o raise_v the_o same_o man_n and_o the_o same_o person_n he_o be_v in_o the_o land_n of_o the_o live_n and_o thus_o much_o for_o the_o nature_n of_o humane_a identity_n as_o well_o in_o the_o resurrection_n as_o before_o it_o from_o hence_o we_o may_v in_o a_o few_o word_n discover_v what_o be_v fit_a to_o be_v believe_v concern_v the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o body_n and_o remove_v the_o sceptick_n mighty_a objection_n advance_v against_o it_o and_o as_o to_o the_o first_o i_o think_v we_o may_v leave_v the_o schoolman_n sweat_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o objection_n and_o answer_n about_o hair_n and_o nail_n the_o state_n of_o infant_n and_o adam_n rib_n too_o for_o i_o do_v not_o think_v it_o matter_n of_o faith_n to_o determine_v whether_o child_n shall_v rise_v grow_v man_n or_o whether_o we_o be_v to_o enjoy_v the_o same_o number_n of_o rib_n nail_n or_o hair_n or_o whether_o they_o shall_v be_v compound_v of_o foreign_a matter_n or_o no._n we_o may_v in_o general_n conclude_v that_o it_o seem_v most_o agreeable_a to_o the_o infinite_a wisdom_n of_o god_n to_o restore_v at_o least_o the_o elect_n or_o bless_a in_o the_o utmost_a perfection_n of_o humane_a nature_n but_o second_o from_o the_o premise_n it_o may_v just_o be_v presume_v pursuant_n to_o the_o ancient_a faith_n that_o we_o be_v to_o believe_v the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o flesh_n for_o though_o no_o certain_a quantity_n or_o proportion_n can_v be_v prescribe_v yet_o man_n be_v original_o create_v in_o flesh_n and_o blood_n and_o it_o be_v to_o be_v esteem_v as_o much_o a_o integral_a part_n as_o nerve_n and_o artery_n and_o consequent_o a_o identity_n be_v to_o be_v observe_v in_o this_o as_o well_o as_o in_o other_o case_n i_o know_v there_o be_v two_o passage_n in_o st._n paul_n famous_a discourse_n on_o the_o resurrection_n which_o seem_v to_o interfere_v with_o it_o where_o we_o be_v tell_v that_o flesh_n and_o blood_n can_v inherit_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n and_o the_o body_n be_v say_v to_o be_v sow_v a_o natural_a body_n but_o raise_v a_o spiritual_a body_n the_o first_o of_o these_o have_v be_v in_o some_o measure_n reply_v to_o and_o the_o second_o be_v certain_o to_o be_v expound_v the_o same_o way_n it_o be_v sow_v a_o natural_a body_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d or_o a_o animal_n body_n or_o a_o body_n that_o be_v to_o be_v support_v by_o food_n sleep_v and_o warmth_n and_o carry_v the_o seed_n of_o

its_o part_n will_v be_v wonderful_o attenuate_v refine_a and_o spiritualise_v and_o in_o a_o word_n fashion_v after_o the_o manner_n of_o a_o glorify_a body_n so_o that_o here_o seem_v to_o be_v no_o foundation_n to_o reject_v the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o flesh_n i_o be_o sure_a it_o can_v be_v that_o of_o corruption_n for_o that_o almighty_a arm_n that_o raise_v the_o body_n out_o of_o the_o dust_n can_v by_o the_o same_o act_n render_v flesh_n and_o blood_n incorruptible_a as_o well_o as_o the_o most_o refine_a particle_n of_o matter_n and_o thus_o much_o for_o what_o be_v proper_a to_o be_v believe_v in_o the_o last_o place_n we_o come_v to_o make_v a_o return_n to_o the_o sceptic_a do_v he_o with_o triumph_n and_o a_o scoff_a infidelity_n demand_v how_o can_v these_o thing_n be_v after_o such_o repeat_v transmigration_n of_o matter_n the_o reply_n be_v easy_a when_o we_o have_v demand_v what_o he_o can_v by_o no_o mean_n reject_v and_o first_o will_v he_o allow_v that_o the_o evaporate_v particle_n of_o the_o live_a body_n as_o well_o as_o those_o of_o the_o die_a body_n may_v be_v fit_a material_n for_o the_o rise_a body_n will_v he_o allow_v the_o receive_a doctrine_n of_o nutrition_n that_o scarce_o the_o fifty_o part_n of_o what_o be_v eat_v turn_v to_o real_a nourishment_n or_o be_v assimilate_v and_o consubstantiate_v with_o the_o several_a part_n of_o the_o feed_a body_n so_o that_o the_o rest_n be_v cast_v forth_o into_o the_o draught_n or_o common_a stock_n of_o matter_n will_v he_o allow_v that_o the_o principal_a part_n of_o those_o body_n that_o be_v expose_v to_o the_o mouth_n of_o wild_a beast_n such_o as_o bone_n ligature_n cartilage_n and_o almost_o the_o whole_a genus_fw-la of_o vessel_n be_v very_o unfit_a material_n for_o food_n will_v he_o allow_v that_o the_o devour_a animal_n may_v live_v so_o long_o as_o to_o disgorge_v most_o of_o his_o prey_n i_o say_v to_o disgorge_v by_o insensible_a evacuation_n most_o of_o those_o particle_n that_o turn_v to_o real_a nourishment_n will_v he_o allow_v that_o the_o part_n of_o the_o glorify_a body_n may_v be_v attenuate_v to_o that_o degree_n that_o half_o the_o matter_n which_o make_v up_o the_o animal_n body_n may_v serve_v to_o give_v it_o all_o the_o feature_n lineament_n and_o proportion_n of_o a_o humane_a body_n last_o when_o infidelity_n industrious_o expose_v the_o body_n of_o his_o saint_n to_o ravage_n or_o spoil_n to_o defeat_v the_o engagement_n of_o the_o almighty_a will_v he_o allow_v that_o this_o alwise_a all-powerful_a be_v may_v for_o that_o time_n invert_v the_o course_n of_o nature_n and_o send_v forth_o the_o great_a part_n of_o that_o matter_n which_o will_v otherwise_o have_v turn_v to_o nourishment_n these_o be_v all_o concession_n which_o the_o original_a notice_n of_o a_o god_n and_o the_o common_a principle_n of_o philosophy_n will_v warrant_v and_o

as_o well_o as_o consciousness_n in_o as_o much_o as_o the_o one_o be_v a_o pure_a spirit_n the_o other_o a_o substance_n compound_v of_o spirit_n and_o matter_n or_o a_o animal_n and_o spiritual_a

of_o it_o imply_v a_o existence_n of_o the_o animal_n as_o well_o as_o the_o immaterial_a or_o spiritual_a part_n the_o identity_n of_o a_o humane_a person_n or_o which_o be_v the_o same_o thing_n personal_a identity_n as_o apply_v to_o a_o particular_a man_n must_v consist_v in_o the_o identity_n of_o the_o animal_n as_o well_o as_o immaterial_a part_n whereinsoever_o that_o happen_v to_o

of_o a_o humane_a person_n or_o indeed_o that_o it_o be_v not_o a_o essential_a principle_n as_o well_o as_o the_o soul_n i_o be_o sure_a such_o notion_n such_o assertion_n as_o these_o will_v have_v

to_o if_o therefore_o he_o will_v be_v content_a to_o make_v his_o resurrection_n on_o these_o term_n i_o leave_v he_o to_o enjoy_v his_o belove_a notion_n so_o that_o he_o will_v allow_v other_o to_o
