is depofited in a Glafs Cafe in one Corner of the

The Egyptians believed the Exiltence of the hu¬ 
man Soul after its quitting the Body ; which may 
fairly be concluded from its being the general re¬

receive, or by its Corruption •, it was therefore with 
the great'-ft Care they endeavoured to preftrve the 
material Man from Decay, that the immaterial 
Soul which had fo long been its Companion, might 
thereby be infpired with a kind of pleafing Idea of 
its former Union.
