Suppose a Man be killed and devoured by a Wolfe, a Lyon eats that Wolfe, suppose that the Lyon dyes, and the Fowls of the air eat that Lyon, and men eat those Fowls; how can the bodies of Men be raised being thus confounded?

Answer, it is the answer of Perkins. First, much may be done by Nature, by art. First, an Illustration from a Refiner, put before Refiner a mass of metal, and there shall be in that one Lump, a vein of Silver, a vein of Brass, of Gold, of Tin, of Iron, and the like, and these Metals are all mingled together; Now a Refiner by his art, he can distinctly sever the Silver from the Gold, and the Iron from the Lead: Now can art do this, and shall not the God of Nature sever this man from that man? God shall sever them though they are heaped together.
