all_o to_o consider_v that_o moses_n tell_v we_o gen._n 2._o 7._o that_o after_o the_o lord_n have_v form_v man_n body_n of_o the_o dust_n of_o the_o earth_n he_o breathe_v into_o his_o nostril_n the_o brtath_n of_o life_n whereby_o you_o may_v perceive_v that_o the_o soul_n be_v of_o a_o spiritual_a nature_n and_o a_o uncorruptible_a substance_n and_o not_o a_o body_n in_o the_o creation_n of_o the_o soul_n say_v a_o learned_a author_n the_o almighty_a acad._n author_n of_o the_o french_a acad._n make_v a_o blast_n not_o of_o his_o own_o nature_n nor_o of_o his_o creature_n the_o air_n but_o even_o of_o nothing_o and_o so_o new_a in_o the_o ordinary_a generation_n of_o man_n the_o soul_n be_v place_v in_o the_o body_n not_o by_o virtue_n of_o nature_n it_o be_v not_o beget_v or_o produce_v by_o nature_n but_o proper_o and_o peculiar_o by_o the_o special_a work_n of_o god_n so_o that_o although_o the_o soul_n live_v and_o dwell_v in_o the_o body_n sustain_v and_o move_v it_o yet_o it_o be_v a_o certain_a substance_n several_a from_o the_o body_n and_o though_o the_o body_n have_v no_o life_n in_o itself_o and_o therefore_o can_v subsist_v without_o the_o soul_n yet_o can_v the_o soul_n subsist_v and_o live_v and_o preserve_v itself_o in_o its_o substance_n after_o that_o it_o be_v separate_v from_o the_o body_n the_o soul_n be_v therefore_o so_o far_o from_o die_v and_o corrupt_v with_o the_o body_n that_o it_o keep_v it_o alive_a and_o uncorrupt_a whilst_o it_o be_v in_o the_o body_n and_o do_v live_v move_v and_o understand_v after_o that_o it_o be_v out_o of_o the_o body_n and_o though_o you_o see_v nothing_o but_o the_o body_n yet_o by_o the_o do_n of_o the_o soul_n you_o may_v perceive_v there_o be_v a_o soul_n and_o what_o the_o soul_n be_v for_o the_o soul_n be_v of_o a_o spiritual_a nature_n as_o aforesaid_a and_o not_o a_o bodily_a we_o can_v see_v it_o in_o its_o own_o substance_n or_o nature_n nor_o have_v any_o knowledge_n thereof_o but_o by_o the_o testimony_n of_o the_o word_n and_o by_o the_o effect_n thereof_o chris_n well_o then_o sir_n as_o you_o have_v be_v please_v to_o give_v i_o some_o light_n and_o knowledge_n of_o the_o soul_n by_o the_o testimony_n of_o the_o word_n so_o i_o beseech_v you_o do_v your_o endeavour_n to_o add_v somewhat_o more_o to_o my_o knowledge_n by_o show_v unto_o i_o what_o be_v the_o effect_n of_o the_o soul_n pres_n well_o friend_n see_v you_o do_v desire_v it_o i_o shall_v by_o the_o lord_n assistance_n endeavour_n to_o let_v you_o see_v this_o truth_n more_o clear_o by_o natural_a reason_n draw_v from_o the_o effect_n of_o the_o soul_n for_o the_o truth_n be_v natural_a reason_n be_v as_o beam_n of_o the_o light_n of_o god_n word_n and_o help_n that_o may_v great_o further_o we_o in_o the_o understanding_n of_o the_o soul_n immortality_n 1._o and_o therefore_o in_o the_o first_o place_n i_o beseech_v you_o take_v notice_n that_o if_o you_o do_v consider_v of_o that_o eternity_n which_o be_v before_o the_o creation_n of_o the_o world_n your_o thought_n be_v not_o able_a to_o comprehend_v it_o but_o if_o you_o do_v enter_v into_o consideration_n of_o time_n which_o shall_v still_o follow_v after_o we_o unto_o all_o eternity_n you_o shall_v find_v yourself_o better_a able_a to_o comprehend_v that_o and_o have_v a_o more_o clear_a insight_n into_o it_o which_o show_v that_o although_o your_o soul_n be_v not_o eternal_a in_o regard_n of_o beginning_n yet_o be_v it_o eternal_a and_o immortal_a in_o regard_n of_o end_n and_o be_v create_v to_o live_v a_o eternal_a life_n second_o i_o pray_v you_o consider_v that_o in_o as_o much_o as_o man_n soul_n be_v not_o create_v with_o his_o body_n as_o the_o soul_n of_o beast_n be_v and_o that_o it_o be_v not_o now_o beget_v by_o way_n of_o ordinary_a generation_n as_o the_o soul_n of_o all_o live_a creature_n be_v we_o be_v thereby_o teach_v that_o god_n do_v not_o intend_v that_o any_o thing_n in_o nature_n shall_v extinguish_v man_n soul_n nor_o destroy_v it_o for_o if_o he_o have_v so_o intend_v then_o will_v he_o have_v create_v and_o have_v order_v it_o to_o have_v come_v into_o man_n by_o way_n of_o ordinary_a generation_n as_o he_o have_v do_v touch_v all_o other_o live_v creature_n that_o be_v mortal_a and_o therefore_o we_o may_v hence_o undoubt_o conclude_v that_o man_n soul_n be_v immortal_a three_o i_o beseech_v you_o serious_o to_o consider_v that_o the_o soul_n of_o beast_n do_v only_o desire_v thing_n present_a and_o their_o desire_n of_o some_o present_a good_a proceed_v not_o from_o any_o know_a virtue_n that_o be_v in_o they_o but_o only_o from_o a_o sensible_a virtue_n for_o though_o beast_n have_v a_o soul_n whereby_o they_o live_v and_o move_v yet_o be_v not_o their_o soul_n partaker_n of_o understanding_n but_o man_n natural_o have_v knowledge_n of_o a_o eternity_n yea_o and_o a_o disposition_n to_o believe_v it_o and_o to_o conceive_v it_o to_o be_v a_o good_a and_o profitable_a thing_n for_o he_o and_o thereupon_o do_v he_o desire_v it_o as_o it_o be_v evident_a by_o that_o man_n natural_o have_v to_o live_v if_o it_o be_v possible_a always_o there_o be_v not_o say_v a_o learned_a author_n so_o base_a a_o mind_n to_o be_v religion_n duple_n truness_n christ_n religion_n find_v which_o covet_v not_o to_o live_v for_o ever_o and_o because_o they_o see_v by_o the_o daily_a example_n of_o mortality_n that_o they_o themselves_o must_v die_v therefore_o they_o do_v endeavour_v to_o make_v their_o name_n eternal_a as_o much_o as_o may_v be_v as_o do_v evident_o appear_v by_o their_o care_n of_o and_o love_n to_o their_o issue_n and_o posterity_n and_o by_o their_o endeavour_v to_o do_v
