may_v do_v the_o deed_n what_o be_v violence_n but_o a_o justle_n of_o two_o body_n together_o but_o the_o soul_n be_v no_o body_n nor_o bodily_a substance_n as_o i_o prove_v before_o can_v there_o

some_o say_v object_n we_o see_v it_o weaken_v by_o a_o encounter_n as_o we_o may_v discern_v by_o the_o sense_n the_o more_o excellent_a the_o thing_n be_v which_o the_o sense_n receive_v so_o much_o the_o more_o the_o sense_n itself_o offend_v and_o grieve_v therewith_o as_o for_o example_n the_o feel_n by_o sire_n the_o taste_n by_o harshness_n the_o smell_a by_o strong_a savour_n the_o hear_n by_o the_o hideousness_n of_o the_o noise_n whether_o by_o a_o thunderclap_n or_o by_o the_o fall_n of_o a_o river_n the_o sight_n by_o look_v upon_o the_o sun_n upon_o fire_n or_o any_o thing_n that_o have_v a_o glister_a brightness_n i_o omit_v that_o in_o most_o of_o these_o answ_n it_o be_v not_o the_o sense_n itself_o but_o the_o outward_a instrument_n of_o sense_n that_o be_v offend_v &_o hurt_v but_o let_v we_o here_o see_v whether_o there_o be_v the_o like_a in_o the_o soul_n or_o no_o nay_o the_o contrary_a the_o more_o of_o understanding_n and_o excellency_n the_o thing_n be_v the_o more_o do_v it_o comfort_n and_o refresh_v the_o mind_n if_o it_o be_v dark_a so_o that_o we_o understand_v it_o by_o half_n it_o hurt_v we_o nor_o yet_o it_o do_v not_o delight_v we_o nay_o as_o we_o increase_v in_o understand_v it_o so_o it_o like_v we_o the_o better_a and_o the_o high_a it_o be_v the_o more_o do_v it_o stir_v up_o the_o power_n of_o our_o understanding_n and_o as_o you_o will_v say_v reach_v we_o the_o hand_n to_o draw_v we_o to_o the_o attainment_n thereof_o as_o for_o they_o that_o be_v dim-sighted_a we_o forbid_v they_o to_o look_v upon_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v over-bright_a but_o for_o they_o of_o raw_a capacity_n we_o offer_v they_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v most_o intelligible_a when_o the_o sense_n begin_v to_o perceive_v most_o sharp_o then_o be_v it_o fain_o to_o give_v over_o as_o if_o it_o feel_v the_o very_a death_n of_o itself_o contrary_a wise_a where_o the_o mind_n begin_v to_o understand_v then_o be_v it_o most_o desirous_a to_o hold_v on_o still_o and_o whence_o arise_v this_o but_o that_o our_o sense_n work_v by_o bodily_a instrument_n our_o mind_n work_v by_o a_o bodiless_a substance_n which_o need_v not_o the_o help_n of_o the_o body_n and_o see_v that_o the_o nature_n the_o nourishment_n and_o the_o action_n of_o the_o soul_n be_v far_o different_a not_o only_o from_o the_o nature_n nourishment_n and_o action_n of_o the_o body_n but_o also_o from_o all_o that_o either_o be_v do_v or_o wrought_v by_o the_o body_n can_v there_o be_v any_o thing_n more_o childish_a then_o for_o we_o to_o demee_n our_o soul_n to_o be_v mortal_a by_o the_o abate_n and_o decay_v of_o our_o sense_n or_o by_o the_o mortality_n of_o our_o body_n nay_o contrariwise_o it_o may_v be_v most_o sound_o and_o substantial_o conclude_v thereupon_o that_o man_n soul_n be_v of_o its_o own_o immortal_a see_v that_o all_o death_n as_o well_o violent_a as_o natural_a come_v of_o the_o body_n and_o by_o the_o body_n three_o the_o immortality_n of_o the_o soul_n may_v be_v firm_o prove_v even_o from_o death_n it_o itself_o the_o two_o best_a definition_n of_o death_n that_o eyer_n i_o hear_v of_o or_o read_v of_o be_v these_o
