The soule is immortall, or, Certaine discourses defending the immortalitie of the soule against the limmes of Sathan: to wit, Saducees, Anabaptists, atheists and such like of the hellish crue of aduersaries / written by Iohn Iackson.

That the Soule doth not die, is thus prooued by the holy Scriptures.

1 BEcause it is a Spirit; which cannot die. Gen. 2. Math. 10. Doe not feare those that can kill the Body, but cannot kill the Soule. Gen. 2. Hee breathed into him the breath of life.

2 Because; God is the God of the liuing. God is the God of. Abraham.

Therefore Abraham liueth, although his body be dead. Mat. 22.

3 From Examples. Moses and Elias tal∣ked with Christ in Mount Thabor. Luk. 9. although Moses was dead a thousand and fiue hundred yeares before: Ergo, they liue.

4 From the testimonie of Christ. Ion. 11. Hee that beleeueth in me, he shall

not die for euer. Therefore the Soule is not extinguished, but liueth alwayes.

5 There is also a firme Argument from the Cause vnto the Effect, or from the nature of Relatiues.

Christ is risen, and liueth. Christ is our Author and Head.

Therefore we also shall rise againe: And the Soule at length, coupled with the Body shall liue for euer.

For what is of force in Christ, the same must needes also auaile in his mem∣bers. 1. Cor. 15.

Now that the Body being renewed, shall of vs be recciued againe in the re∣surrection of the dead, the testimonie of Job in the 19, chap. teacheth plainely. I know that my Redeemer liueth; and that I shall rise againe out of the Earth in the last day and shall see God in my flesh.

The Place or Seate into the which the Soule doth flitte, being loosed from the fetters of the Body, and resteth in the same, is called, Paradise. Luk. 23. The bosome of Abraham, Luk. 16. The hand of God Sap. 3. Scheol. 1. Hell Gen. 43.
