Of that praise and reward which wisedome and vertue may receiue of men in this world: how miserable it is, if there be no better prepared for them else-where: how death would be more grieuous and lamentable to the best learned and wisest men, then to the ignorant and foolish, if the soule were mortall: how the best and most certaine iudgement of men is for the immortalitie of the soule: of them who not beleeuing the same, say that it is good for men to be in such an errour. Chap. 95. -
Of those infernall testimonies, which all men carry within themselues, to conuince them that doubt of the immortality of the soule, and of the iudgement to come which shall be in eternall happines for the good, and perpetuall torment for the euill: how the very Heathen acknow∣ledged as much by reason taken from the te∣stimonies of nature.

Chap. 97. -
Whether Epicures and Atheists be reasonable beasts, yea or no: and what reasons they bring to ouerthrow the immortality of the soule: of the false opinion of Pliny tou∣ching the same, and of his friuolous and brutish reasons to this purpose: of the brutish conclusion, vnbeseeming the whole race of mankinde, which hee maketh of this matter, and of the iudgement of God vpon him. Chap. 98. -
Of them who say, that we cannot know by the light of nature but that the soule is mortall: of them that alledge a place of Salomon against the immortalitie of the soule: how we ought to consider of the iudgements of God vpon Epicures and Atheists: how the absurdities, which follow their doctrine, declare plainely the grosenesse of it: of the force of those arguments that were produced before for the immortalitie of the soule. Chap. 99. -
Of the image of God in the soule of man, and of the image of the world in mans body: of the coniunction that is betweene God, the Angels, and men: of the sundrie degrees of Good that are therein: of those lessons and instru∣ctions, which we ought to receiue from the wonderfull compo∣sition and coni 200.ction of the soule and body.
