§_o 81.82_o 84._o see_v therefore_o the_o man_n consist_v not_o only_o of_o a_o body_n but_o also_o of_o a_o soul_n and_o that_o the_o soul_n be_v much_o more_o excellent_a than_o the_o body_n and_o

with_o their_o answer_n concern_v the_o hypothesis_n of_o the_o revolution_n of_o humane_a soul_n quest_n 1._o the_o hypothesis_n be_v this_o viz._n that_o every_o individual_a of_o mankind_n must_v several_a time_n die_v and_o be_v bear_v again_o in_o order_n to_o the_o work_n out_o of_o their_o salvation_n here_o in_o this_o word_n it_o be_v query_v first_o whether_o any_o book_n of_o this_o author_n treat_v of_o such_o a_o revolution_n of_o humane_a soul_n have_v be_v print_v and_o publish_v in_o divers_a language_n and_o in_o different_a country_n answer_n 1._o yes_o diverse_a book_n of_o this_o author_n treat_v of_o such_o a_o revolution_n of_o humane_a soul_n have_v be_v print_v in_o different_a language_n and_o that_o in_o several_a country_n quest_n 2._o what_o do_v some_o of_o the_o learned_a judge_n concern_v this_o hypothesis_n answ_n 2._o they_o be_v somewhat_o reserve_v and_o shy_a open_o to_o declare_v their_o thought_n concern_v this_o matter_n because_o it_o seem_v as_o yet_o to_o be_v very_o novel_a and_o but_o little_o know_v to_o the_o most_o but_o when_o reminded_a they_o may_v then_o remember_v that_o both_o the_o book_n which_o treat_v thereof_o as_o also_o many_o clear_a text_n of_o holy_a scripture_n evince_v the_o same_o be_v not_o unknown_a to_o they_o and_o then_o they_o must_v own_v that_o it_o be_v impossible_a to_o understand_v many_o place_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n without_o this_o hypothesis_n quest_n 3._o what_o do_v the_o unlearned_a say_v of_o it_o answ_n some_o of_o the_o unlearned_a have_v little_a or_o no_o judgement_n of_o their_o own_o and_o be_v prepossess_v with_o a_o prejudice_n from_o other_o do_v suppose_v it_o to_o be_v a_o vain_a opinion_n which_o the_o jew_n receive_v from_o the_o heathen_a quest_n 4._o what_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o not_o any_o of_o the_o learned_a have_v endeavour_v to_o confute_v as_o yet_o these_o book_n nor_o manifest_o to_o prove_v that_o there_o can_v be_v no_o such_o revolution_n of_o humane_a soul_n answ_n because_o when_o some_o write_v great_a book_n it_o may_v for_o the_o most_o part_n be_v conclude_v that_o they_o endeavour_v rather_o to_o drown_v a_o doctrine_n then_o to_o find_v out_o a_o truth_n so_o that_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v wonder_v at_o that_o the_o learned_a hitherto_o for_o any_o thing_n i_o know_v have_v not_o write_v against_o it_o nor_o demonstrate_v in_o short_a that_o the_o return_n of_o soul_n be_v impossible_a in_o as_o much_o as_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o they_o to_o perform_v this_o as_o it_o be_v for_o they_o to_o demonstrate_v that_o the_o propagation_n of_o mankind_n depend_v not_o on_o any_o precedent_a generation_n it_o have_v continue_v immortal_a from_o adam_n quest_n 5._o what_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o this_o doctrine_n have_v for_o these_o many_o age_n be_v as_o it_o be_v lose_v among_o man_n in_o europe_n answ_n the_o reason_n why_o this_o doctrine_n have_v be_v so_o much_o hide_v be_v because_o man_n be_v become_v for_o the_o most_o part_n corporeal_a and_o carnal_a so_o that_o they_o can_v see_v nor_o apprehend_v any_o thing_n but_o what_o be_v suitable_a to_o and_o as_o we_o may_v say_v taste_v of_o this_o present_a body_n of_o flesh_n and_o blood_n though_o that_o also_o continual_o be_v change_v and_o remain_v not_o constant_o the_o same_o quest_n 6._o whence_o do_v the_o wise_a heathen_n derive_v their_o knowledge_n in_o some_o part_n of_o this_o doctrine_n answ_n the_o wise_a heathen_n as_o socrates_n etc._n etc._n have_v by_o continual_a search_v be_v able_a to_o find_v out_o this_o truth_n in_o part_n forasmuch_o as_o the_o mystery_n of_o holy_a scripture_n be_v not_o make_v know_v to_o they_o they_o can_v not_o arrive_v at_o the_o full_a discovery_n thereof_o but_o as_o it_o be_v manifest_a in_o nature_n but_o the_o wise_a jew_n have_v draw_v it_o full_o from_o that_o sacred_a fountain_n quest_n 7._o how_o come_v it_o to_o pass_v that_o the_o jew_n of_o old_a better_o understand_v this_o doctrine_n as_o appear_v by_o their_o write_n concern_v the_o same_o then_o modern_a jew_n and_o the_o wise_a heathen_n answ_n the_o jew_n be_v at_o that_o time_n god_n peculiar_a choose_a people_n be_v consequent_o to_o abound_v more_o with_o love_n then_o the_o heathen_n do_v wherefore_o also_o a_o clear_a knowledge_n of_o this_o doctrine_n be_v impart_v to_o

quest_n 8._o what_o then_o be_v true_a love_n answ_n love_n be_v a_o perfect_a emanation_n or_o beam_a forth_o of_o the_o life_n and_o be_v spiritual_a without_o which_o no_o perfect_a work_n can_v
