A67026	The true originall of the soule proving both by divine and naturall reason, that the production of mans soule is neither by creation nor propagation, but a certain meane way between both : wherein the doctrine of originall sinne, and the purity of Christs incarnation, is also more fully cleared then hath been heretofore published / by H.W.

opinion_n of_o origen_n be_v just_o hiss_v out_o long_o ago_o so_o that_o though_o no_o soul_n be_v produce_v by_o the_o body_n yet_o no_o soul_n be_v produce_v without_o it_o second_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v think_v that_o any_o soul_n be_v produce_v by_o the_o body_n otherwise_o then_o by_o a_o assist_a cause_n or_o causa_fw-la sine_fw-la qua_fw-la non_fw-la whether_o we_o consider_v the_o

corporal_a only_a but_o as_o there_o be_v soule-seede_n or_o rather_o spiritual_a power_n in_o it_o and_o thus_o the_o soul_n shall_v be_v no_o less_o able_a to_o subsist_v by_o itself_o although_o it_o be_v not_o propagate_v without_o the_o body_n than_o a_o child_n shall_v not_o be_v able_a to_o live_v after_o the_o death_n of_o his_o parent_n by_o who_o it_o be_v bring_v forth_o into_o the_o

so_o long_o as_o it_o be_v unite_v to_o the_o body_n for_o according_a to_o the_o course_n of_o nature_n it_o can_v do_v so_o but_o after_o the_o death_n of_o the_o body_n for_o as_o much_o as_o it_o

because_o that_o which_o be_v corporeal_a can_v work_v upon_o that_o which_o be_v incorporeal_a much_o more_o absurd_a be_v it_o that_o the_o soul_n shall_v be_v generate_v by_o the_o body_n but_o this_o also_o fall_v beside_o without_o hurt_v for_o though_o the_o soul_n can_v be_v generate_v of_o or_o by_o the_o body_n which_o i_o also_o confident_o affirm_v yet_o this_o be_v no_o impediment_n

such_o be_v the_o essence_n and_o contrary_o as_o philosophy_n teach_v but_o first_o it_o may_v be_v doubt_v whether_o any_o action_n of_o the_o soul_n be_v perform_v without_o any_o help_n at_o all_o from_o the_o body_n so_o long_o as_o the_o union_n last_v second_o for_o as_o much_o as_o the_o soul_n ordinary_o do_v neither_o understand_v nor_o will_n without_o the_o assistance_n of_o the_o
