 upon which Theifm can ftand, and laid a foundation, upon which all 

 the Atheirtical writers, fince that time, have built. And, indeed, if 

 we believe that the human foul cannot operate without the body, 

 there are no arguments in philofophy to convice us that it can exijl 

 without the body ; nor is it pofTiblc that we can have any juft idea of 

 fuperior mind, far lefs of the Supreme.
