EXAMPLE
“…For the further clearing of which there are these two things required
1. To shew how the necessary Functions of life may be conserved and kept up while the Soul is
separate from the Body
2. To consider what those things are which may cause a Temporaneous disunion and disjunction of
the Soul from the Body First then it will not seem at all strange that the principal Functions of life
should be performed for some time without the presence of the Soul to them who will admit of the
principles of the Cartesian Philosophy …”
