To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" Reason saith, that mankind are agents or else prophets, • for they cac foretell some things, and then fulfil them:* this is the truth, and you can- * Matter, when it is moved by another cause, cannot stop of itself, and v^'hen stopped cannot move of itself. But as we have the power of action, (the same as I give out my appointment months before hand, and then fulfil it, ) it is evident that we are prophets or else agents. To adopt the idea of prophecy, you will not; and if not, you must ackno...w- ledge agency, which material substance without thinking power doth not possess. From this I argue that there is something in man abstract from matter, which is spirit, which some call the soul, and which makes him sensible and rational, &c. And to suppose the soul to be a part of God is inconsistent, because God is completely happy, as is acknow- ledged from the Christian to the Deist. Therefore, if my soul was a part of him, I should have one continued stream of happiness. But as I have frequently felt unhappy in mind, I herefrom argue that my soul is spirit abstract from God.
