Joiada. Thou sayest very well, therefore mark thine argument thus: Sith the soul is a spirit, & not a body, it can not be subject to bodily passions or infirmities, but is exempt from them: sleep doth chance to the body, thorough weariness. Ergo the soul can not sleep: for the soul cannot be weary. Or canst thou bring any other thing ⟨image 112⟩concerning sleep?
Ioiada.

Ergo the soule can not slepe: for the soule cannot be weary. Or canst thou brynge any other thynge ⟨image 112⟩concernyng slepe?
Sy. No, for all operations and senses do cease and rest, and except the body should breath, folks would think that it were dead.
Sy. No, for all operacions and senses dooe ceasse and rest, and excepte the body shulde brethe, folkes wold thynke that it were dead.
Joia. Now, if our souls should sleep, it should follow, that after this life, we do feel neither good, nor evil, which doth directly pugne against the Gospel. Moreover, we will prove by the nature of the sleep, that the souls can not sleep, but the body only. For now I ask thee, when doeth the soul sleep, after that she is departed from the body, or when she is yet joined to the body?
Ioia. Now, if our soules should slepe, it shoulde folow, that after this lyfe, we doo feele neither good, nor euyll, which dothe directly pugne agaynste the Gospell. Moreouer, we wyl proue by the nature of the slepe, that the soules can not slepe, but the bodye only. For now I aske the, when doeth the soule slepe, after that she is departed frome the body, or when she is yet ioyned to the body?
