The first Argument for proof of the Souls Immortality, may be taken from the Simplicity, Spirituality, and uncompoundedness of its Nature. It is a pure, simple, unmixed Being. *Death is the Dissolution of things compounded; where therefore no composition or mixture is found, no death or dissolution can follow.

Death is the great Divider, but it is of things that are divisible. The more simple, pure and refined any material thing is, by so much the more permanent and durable it is found to be. The nearer it approacheth to the nature of Spirits, the farther it is removed from the power of death: but that which is not material, or mixed at all, is wholly exempt from the stroke and power of death. It is from the contrariant qualities and jarring humours in mixed Bodies, that they come under the Law and power of dissolution.
