Expergefaction

“Thouſands drink in the Love of theſe, together with their Parents milk, and are enamoured on them from their very Cradles; yet I am ſure the affectations of theſe Arts, cannot be derived from Præexiſtence; they cannot poſſibly be any new expergefactions of dormient prepenſions, or refloreſcencies of obſolete and forgotten Cuſtoms, contracted in a ſuperior life; becauſe there is nothing parallel to them above, about which Præexiſtent Spirits could be buſied : For who is ſo phrantick or fooliſh, as to dream Gardening, Brick-laying, Agriculture, Weaving, &c. Or any callings like them, to be in faſhion in the Celeſtial Countries?”

“Life are infinitely contracted, and that ſhe lies aſleep or dead to her largeſt Faculties ; and that therefore the excitation of them is her expergefaction into infinitely a more ample Sphere of Life.”

“Why not call the unreal indicative the mood of resipiscence to match the imperfect of expergefaction, the imperfect with ᾰρα?”
