book_n de_fw-fr anima_fw-la the_o soul_n of_o infant_n be_v not_o only_o prove_v but_o also_o their_o conflict_n so_o that_o we_o may_v not_o only_o grant_v unto_o child_n in_o the_o womb_n reasonable_a soul_n but_o likewise_o affection_n of_o gladness_n and_o sorrow_n peace_n and_o strife_n which_o be_v further_o declare_v in_o the_o birth_n of_o pharez_n and_o zarah_n for_o zarah_n

do_v breath_n into_o the_o elemental_a body_n that_o lively_a soul_n which_o be_v the_o simple_a form_n of_o man_n that_o she_o may_v use_v the_o same_o body_n as_o a_o instrument_n in_o the_o first_o

observe_v this_o difference_n in_o the_o generation_n of_o man_n now_o and_o the_o creation_n of_o man_n then_o in_o the_o generation_n now_o the_o body_n do_v increase_v in_o the_o womb_n and_o grow_v perfect_a by_o the_o power_n it_o receive_v from_o the_o life_n of_o the_o parent_n and_o be_v perfect_v have_v the_o soul_n in_o the_o very_a article_n of_o time_n infuse_v into_o the_o body_n and_o then_o by_o the_o power_n thereof_o it_o increase_v daily_o until_o it_o may_v show_v forth_o the_o brightness_n thereof_o but_o in_o the_o creation_n the_o body_n be_v only_o perfect_v in_o

reason_n of_o the_o natural_a moistness_n which_o drown_v the_o understanding_n part_n the_o which_o in_o time_n be_v by_o little_a and_o little_o dry_v up_o attain_v unto_o the_o full_a measure_n of_o understanding_n and_o knowledge_n three_o because_o we_o be_v not_o bear_v such_o able_a man_n as_o adam_n be_v create_v but_o in_o time_n gather_v our_o force_n we_o become_v strong_a and_o with_o our_o strength_n our_o understanding_n increase_v as_o in_o the_o creation_n adam_n be_v not_o call_v man_n until_o he_o be_v full_o frame_v and_o have_v his_o soul_n infuse_v so_o likewise_o the_o angel_n and_o moses_n call_v not_o that_o which_o elizahe_v rebecca_n and_o thamar_n bare_a in_o their_o womb_n a_o thing_n without_o form_n or_o shape_n but_o a_o son_n a_o babe_n a_o boy_n child_n and_o brother_n now_o i_o give_v you_o further_a to_o understand_v that_o those_o three_o which_o be_v call_v soul_n be_v indeed_o not_o true_o so_o call_v but_o ought_v rather_o to_o be_v term_v virtue_n or_o power_n of_o life_n the_o first_o virtue_n be_v vegetable_a and_o that_o give_v life_n and_o no_o feel_n and_o this_o power_n be_v in_o plant_n and_o root_n the_o second_o be_v sensible_n and_o that_o give_v life_n and_o feeling_n but_o not_o reason_n and_o that_o be_v in_o beast_n the_o three_o be_v rational_a and_o that_o in_o my_o judgement_n ought_v to_o be_v so_o term_v only_o for_o that_o it_o give_v life_n feeling_n understand_v and_o reason_n and_o that_o be_v in_o man_n only_o the_o virtue_n sensible_a that_o give_v feel_v be_v a_o certain_a airy_a substance_n more_o subtle_a and_o more_o noble_a than_o the_o virtue_n vegitative_a that_o give_v life_n &_o less_o noble_a than_o the_o soul_n reasonable_a that_o give_v reason_n the_o beginning_n and_o the_o work_n of_o the_o power_n sensible_n be_v dependent_a of_o the_o body_n that_o it_o be_v in_o and_o make_v it_o perfect_a and_o therefore_o when_o the_o body_n die_v the_o be_v or_o work_v thereof_o die_v also_o with_o the_o vegitative_a but_o while_o they_o be_v in_o a_o body_n they_o have_v noble_a virtue_n and_o power_n as_o in_o plant_n to_o grow_v and_o increase_v in_o beast_n to_o grow_v
