adjudge_v to_o immortality_n but_o that_o life_n and_o death_n be_v set_v before_o he_o to_o be_v the_o reward_n of_o his_o do_n whether_o immortality_n be_v a_o natural_a privilege_n of_o innocent_a

whatever_o we_o believe_v in_o this_o case_n yet_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o mortality_n and_o death_n even_o according_a to_o this_o nice_a speculation_n come_v upon_o he_o and_o we_o by_o his_o

the_o same_o matter_n as_o we_o be_v yet_o it_o be_v in_o a_o far_o more_o perfect_a state_n in_o we_o the_o appetite_n of_o the_o body_n be_v break_v loose_a and_o grow_v extravagant_a and_o the_o

that_o belong_v to_o our_o body_n be_v the_o occasion_n of_o disease_n in_o we_o and_o a_o natural_a reason_n why_o we_o die_v but_o while_o man_n be_v innocent_a though_o he_o do_v stand_v in_o

either_o through_o the_o illness_n of_o his_o body_n or_o by_o a_o extravagant_a excess_n and_o since_o the_o several_a humour_n of_o his_o body_n be_v at_o peace_n the_o good_a and_o sound_a

in_o that_o new_a world_n that_o will_v be_v prepare_v for_o we_o when_o we_o have_v shake_v off_o our_o corruption_n and_o as_o the_o renovation_n of_o our_o body_n do_v require_v that_o there_o

that_o the_o fruit_n he_o be_v forbid_v to_o eat_v of_o can_v natural_o kill_v he_o for_o what_o can_v kill_v that_o which_o can_v die_v and_o beside_o why_o be_v the_o tree_n of_o life_n plant_v in_o
