Another reason may be the same which was alleged for the spirituality of the soul, namely independence in operation, and therefore consequently in Being upon the body. And that Independence ⟨p. 408⟩is manifest, First, because the acts of the soul are educed immediately in it self, without the Intercedence of any organ whereby sensitive faculties work. Secondly, because the soul can perceive and have the knowledge of truth of universals, of it self, of Angels, of God, can assent, discourse, abstract, censure, invent, contrive, and the like; none of which actions could any ways be produced by the Intrinsical concurrence of any material faculty. Thirdly, because in Raptures and Ecstasies, the soul is (as it were) drawn up above and from the body, though not from informing it, yet certainly from borrowing from it any assistance to the producing of its operation. All which prove, that the soul is separable from the body in its Nature, and therefore that it is not corrupt and mortal as the body.
Another reason may be the same which was alledged for the spirituality of the soule, namely independance in operation, and therefore consequently in Being upon the body. And that Independance ⟨p. 408⟩is manifest, First, because the acts of the soule are educ'd immediately in it selfe, without the Intercedence of any organ whereby sensitive faculties work. Secondly, because the soule can perceive and have the knowledge of truth of universals, of it selfe, of Angels, of God, can assent, discourse, abstract, censure, invent, contrive, and the like; none of which actions could any wayes be produced by the Intrinsecall concurrence of any materiall faculty. Thirdly, because in Raptures and Extasies, the soule is (as it were) drawne up above and from the body, though not from informing it, yet certainely from borrowing from it any assistance to the produceing of its operation. All which prove, that the soule is separable from the body in its Nature, and therefore that it is not corrupt and mortall as the body.
