Soul, I. Proved immaterial, I. From considering its firstspecies of activity, viz. that of spontaneous motion,tvhich cannot be lodged in matter, i. 141, 18, r9, 20,notes ibid. 2. By considering its second species of activi-ty, viz. spontaneity of thought, i. 186, 2 7. Which mat-ter cannot possibly be endued with, ibid. & seqq. Has apower of moving matter, i, 196, 31.

-2. Not propagated by traduction, i, 198, 32, 33, notes

ibid. Though the above proof of the immateriality ofthe foul shews, at the fame time, that of the fouls ofbrutes and every living thing, i. 210, 36. Yet it doesnot follow from hence, that both are therefore equal,or of the fame kind of immaterial beings, and have thefame powers and privileges, i. 211, 37, 38, a, ibid.

—— 3, Proved immortal from its being a simple and un-compounded Substance,

First, By shewing that all substance equally, as well mate-rial as immaterial, cannot cease to exist but by the effectof infinite power; and that the only change it can be lia-ble to, from the agency of any second cause, is in its ac-cidents, or such properties as are not necessary to it, assuch a substance, i. 218, 1 to 6.

-4. Secondly, By strewing that all the changes which

happen in matter are effected in it because it is com-pounded of parts, and again divisible into parts, each ofwhich has all the essential properties of the whole, ofwhich it is a part, i. 227, 6. But this can never be saidof the soul, i. 232, 7. The absurdities consequent onsuch a supposition, ibid. & jeqq. The human soul there-fore must be immortal as to the agency of all second ornatural causes, i.e. naturally immortal, i. 239, 11. Whatthis immortality imports, ibid. The great difference be-twixt human and brute fouls both in a state of union and asto the immortality, particularly evidenced, ibid. h.

—— 5. The foul necessarily living and conscious in a stateof separation,

1. Proved to have the power of action in that state, by■shewing that the contrary includes a plain contradiction,i. 252, a , b, ibid. 2. By strewing active power to be aproperty of the nature of the foul, and not a mereaccident of it, i. 25.3, 3. Perceptivity a necessaryconsequence of activity in said state, i. 255, 4, c, ibid.These powers must be inseparable from it, i, 257, 5. Andit must exercise them in that state, i, 259, 6. Not only
