or_o motion_n and_o if_o this_o be_v true_a let_v our_o reader_n make_v themselves_o the_o judge_n well_o but_o say_v he_o if_o this_o can_v be_v corporeal_a it_o must_v come_v from_o a_o incorporeal_a substance_n within_o we_o if_o he_o will_v take_v a_o material_a spirit_n for_o a_o incorporeal_a substance_n we_o be_v agree_v but_o if_o he_o will_v have_v this_o incorporeal_a substance_n to_o be_v a_o immaterial_a intelligent_a angelical_a spirit_n i_o answer_v he_o have_v not_o prove_v the_o necessity_n of_o its_o be_v so_o nor_o that_o the_o thing_n be_v so_o nay_o here_o he_o confess_v we_o can_v conceive_v the_o manner_n of_o our_o soul_n action_n and_o passion_n nor_o what_o hold_v it_o can_v lay_v on_o the_o body_n when_o it_o voluntary_o move_v it_o this_o be_v what_o we_o can_v conceive_v of_o such_o a_o soul_n but_o i_o desire_v he_o to_o tell_v we_o what_o he_o do_v conceive_v or_o know_v concern_v such_o a_o soul_n that_o he_o will_v evince_v to_o reason_n quod_fw-la sit_fw-la quid_fw-la sit_v unde_fw-la oritur_fw-la quando_fw-la ingreditur_fw-la ubi_fw-la residet_fw-la quomodo_fw-la operatur_fw-la a_o separatim_fw-la subsistit_fw-la quo_fw-la

then_o i_o can_v hardly_o credit_v his_o next_o assertion_n viz._n though_o we_o can_v conceive_v the_o soul_n nor_o its_o act_n yet_o we_o be_v as_o certain_a of_o they_o as_o of_o any_o mathematical_a truth_n whatsoever_o which_o i_o both_o can_v conceive_v and_o may_v be_v easy_o demonstrate_v to_o i_o the_o truth_n and_o reasonableness_n of_o this_o assertion_n shall_v be_v leave_v to_o those_o who_o be_v at_o leisure_n to_o consider_v of_o they_o p._n 32._o he_o confess_v his_o ignorance_n in_o cause_n of_o man_n pleasure_n pain_n sleep_v activity_n he_o say_v this_o knowledge_n exceed_v man_n narrow_a faculty_n and_o be_v out_o of_o the_o reach_n of_o our_o discovery_n he_o discern_v excellent_a final_a cause_n of_o the_o vital_a conjunction_n of_o body_n and_o soul_n but_o the_o instrumental_a he_o know_v not_o nor_o how_o they_o be_v unite_v or_o tie_v together_o he_o resolve_v all_o into_o god_n good_a pleasure_n but_o he_o show_v we_o no_o evidence_n that_o it_o be_v or_o ever_o be_v his_o pleasure_n to_o inform_v mankind_n by_o a_o immaterial_a intelligent_a spirit_n which_o be_v capable_a of_o live_v in_o a_o state_n of_o separation_n from_o the_o body_n and_o if_o corporeal_a power_n be_v confess_o too_o hard_a for_o he_o it_o may_v seem_v strange_a he_o shall_v attempt_v upon_o the_o disquisition_n concern_v the_o be_v and_o operation_n of_o a_o immaterial_a soul_n in_o man_n without_o so_o much_o as_o offer_v to_o make_v any_o positive_a proof_n of_o the_o thing_n from_o the_o ground_n either_o of_o reason_n or_o scripture_n i_o be_o not_o able_a to_o credit_v his_o bare_a word_n for_o it_o nor_o his_o negative_a proof_n that_o it_o must_v be_v so_o because_o he_o think_v it_o can_v be_v otherwise_o these_o persuasion_n
