1. That that which is natural, is natural, will not be denyed, as you say; but 'tis propositio identica nugax, a most trifling Tautology: and unto what purpose you propound a question concerning it, I know not.
2. Of things natural unto man, some are natural powers, some are naturall acts: Natural (first) powers may be and are essential unto the body; and so they are in∣separable too; our Bodies, when they shall be raised, shall not want so much as one such natural power: But natural acts are accidental, and in the resurrection there may be no place for the exercise of, at least, some of them, viz▪ Generation, Nutrition, and the like; as touching such things, we shall be like the angels in Hea∣ven, as it were spiritual.
3. In the Apostle, 1 Cor. 15.44. it is not 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, a natural body, but 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, an animal or souly body, that is, actuated and animated by the soul after a natural way and manner, by the intervention of bodily helps, such as eating, drinking, sleeping, and the like. And in all congruence of opposition hereunto, a glorious body is said to be a spiritual, in regard of an immediate supportance by the spirit, without any corporeal means, and without any use of the generative and nu∣tritive faculties.
