Description:
As described by the Author concerning the eternality of the Soul, that "if the Soul remains after the Dissolution of the Body; if, after it is delivered from it, it enjoys a separate Life and Vigor; then have we many questions to ask, and many inquiries to make relating to the Soul thus separated and thus existing: - What Sort of Life it enjoys? - What Sort of State? - Will it remain in that State forever? - Is There a distinction made between those that are good and those that are evil? - What Sort of Rewards? - What Sort of Punishments will be distributed to every one according to their merit? - Lastly, it will be a pleasing curiosity to Pursue the Fate and the Fortune of the Immortal Soul...from its Departure and Deliverance from it's earthly Body, even to the Consummation of all things."
