man_n may_v rest_v assure_v that_o say_v or_o sentence_n neither_o be_v nor_o can_v be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n next_o if_o we_o meet_v with_o say_n or_o sentence_n of_o scripture_n which_o be_v

not_o to_o fear_v the_o persecution_n of_o man_n for_o the_o do_v of_o their_o duty_n but_o rather_o to_o fear_n god_n who_o can_v punish_v and_o reward_v after_o death_n as_o well_o as_o in_o this_o

clear_a to_o my_o understanding_n st._n matthew_n word_n prove_v his_o opinion_n to_o be_v that_o humane_a soul_n have_v a_o life_n and_o subsistence_n in_o a_o state_n of_o separation_n from_o the_o body_n and_o i_o conceive_v that_o in_o his_o text_n he_o word_v our_o lord_n doctrine_n according_a to_o his_o own_o opinion_n of_o the_o thing_n we_o find_v that_o st._n luke_n have_v word_v it_o

which_o in_o the_o whole_a tenor_n of_o it_o do_v not_o name_v the_o soul_n and_o therefore_o upon_o this_o difference_n i_o think_v it_o needful_a to_o inquire_v or_o demand_v what_o be_v the_o very_a precise_a word_n wherein_o our_o lord_n deliver_v this_o doctrine_n if_o st._n matthew_n have_v right_o word_v this_o doctrine_n than_o it_o be_v a_o strong_a proof_n of_o the_o soul_n separate_a subsistence_n the_o most_o substantial_a and_o near_a to_o a_o affirmative_a of_o any_o that_o the_o bible_n afford_v we_o but_o if_o st._n luke_n have_v right_o word_v our_o lord_n doctrine_n than_o be_v there_o in_o that_o doctrine_n no_o proof_n at_o all_o of_o a_o soul_n separate_a subsistence_n nor_o any_o thing_n say_v in_o it_o whereby_o that_o opinion_n can_v be_v maintain_v i_o do_v not_o pretend_v to_o determine_v any_o thing_n concern_v this_o point_n but_o be_o ready_a to_o argue_v that_o there_o lie_v a_o probability_n for_o st._n luke_n text_n against_o that_o of_o st._n matthew_n the_o point_n in_o question_n concern_v the_o separate_a subsistence_n be_v as_o be_v say_v collateral_a to_o the_o intent_n of_o our_o lord_n in_o this_o doctrine_n who_o it_o seem_v do_v not_o here_o mean_a to_o teach_v any_o thing_n which_o may_v direct_v man_n judgement_n in_o that_o collateral_a point_n which_o remain_v utter_o unmentioned_a in_o the_o text_n of_o st._n luke_n this_o move_v i_o to_o apprehend_v that_o the_o put_v it_o into_o st._n matthew_n text_n grow_v from_o his_o own_o opinion_n of_o the_o thing_n rather_o than_o from_o the_o word_n which_o our_o lord_n then_o deliver_v the_o intent_n of_o our_o lord_n seem_v plain_a in_o both_o those_o text_n and_o therein_o what_o have_v be_v say_v seem_v true_a they_o be_v at_o a_o perfect_a

therefore_o i_o surmise_v it_o come_v into_o st._n mathew_n text_n by_o accident_n and_o spring_v rather_o from_o his_o own_o opinion_n than_o from_o our_o lord_n doctrine_n or_o the_o word_n and_o

in_o our_o collateral_a point_n which_o st._n luke_n do_v not_o meddle_v with_o there_o be_v a_o very_a great_a variance_n between_o these_o two_o expression_n for_o that_o the_o one_o prove_v

these_o instance_n have_v before_o be_v obstruct_v by_o those_o answer_n which_o have_v be_v several_o give_v they_o in_o their_o proper_a place_n i_o be_o not_o without_o some_o temptation_n of_o draw_v out_o of_o the_o scripture_n a_o catalogue_n of_o such_o text_n as_o do_v with_o great_a evidence_n and_o strength_n set_v forth_o and_o prove_v that_o the_o time_n of_o the_o resurrection_n and_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n be_v not_o alone_o the_o principal_n but_o the_o only_a time_n whereat_o or_o wherein_o recompense_n future_a to_o this_o life_n be_v warrantable_o and_o certain_o to_o be_v expect_v by_o mankind_n but_o because_o i_o have_v say_v much_o and_o quote_v divers_a text_n of_o scripture_n upon_o that_o subject_a before_o and_o be_o now_o willing_a to_o save_v myself_o and_o my_o reader_n the_o tedium_n of_o such_o a_o long_a repetition_n i_o will_v refer_v the_o examiner_n of_o this_o objection_n unto_o those_o text_n which_o have_v before_o be_v quote_v

observe_v that_o there_o be_v three_o thing_n principal_o and_o absolute_o necessary_a for_o the_o subsistence_n and_o life_n of_o the_o humane_a person_n viz._n blood_n breath_n and_o nutriment_n and_o thereupon_o do_v agree_v with_o moses_n that_o the_o life_n the_o animal_n be_v in_o the_o blood_n or_o that_o the_o blood_n be_v the_o life_n thereof_o who_o inflame_a particle_n be_v the_o spirit_n which_o act_n the_o person_n and_o as_o well_o the_o head_n as_o the_o member_n so_o long_o as_o life_n continue_v in_o the_o body_n next_o to_o which_o the_o breath_n have_v a_o principal_a and_o absolute_o necessary_a faculty_n and_o power_n of_o fan_v and_o inflame_v such_o particle_n of_o the_o blood_n as_o be_v employ_v in_o every_o part_n of_o the_o body_n and_o for_o refrigerate_v the_o internal_a part_n of_o the_o body_n with_o a_o perpetual_a refreshment_n which_o keep_v the_o paristaltick_a motion_n always_o in_o action_n among_o the_o inward_a and_o most_o vital_a part_n of_o the_o body_n whence_o daily_a experience_n assure_v we_o that_o by_o stop_v of_o the_o breath_n but_o for_o some_o few_o moment_n the_o spirit_n of_o life_n in_o man_n become_v absolute_o suffocate_v and_o extinguish_v and_o without_o breath_n no_o humane_a art_n or_o power_n can_v prolong_v the_o life_n of_o the_o person_n or_o other_o animal_n whatsoever_o concern_v nutriment_n it_o be_v only_o so_o far_o necessary_a to_o the_o life_n of_o the_o creature_n as_o the_o blood_n thereof_o waste_v and_o be_v consume_v by_o the_o circular_a continual_a motion_n and_o the_o inflammation_n thereof_o in_o some_o long_o continue_v and_o weaken_v disease_n the_o motion_n of_o the_o blood_n have_v be_v so_o weak_a and_o the_o inflammation_n thereof_o
