A86330	A discourse of the souls of men, women, and children; and of the holy and blessed angels in heaven, and of the evil and damned spirits in hell: shewing that they are immortal, spiritual substances, as well as the angels in heaven. Written because this author met with four willfull ignorant men at one time, which said, the souls of men, women, and children, were nothing but breath, and vanished into air, when as the body went to the grave. These unfaithful people ought to be answered and reproved: / by the author, Thomas Hicks.	Hicks, Thomas, 17th cent.	1657 (1657)	Wing H1882; Thomason E903_5; ESTC R207421	6,951	15

Hagar to return and humble her self to her Mistress The Angel of the Lord told Cornelius what he should do The Angel of the Lord rebuked Moses because he had not circumcised his sons The Angel of the Lord rebuked Balaam for covetousness The Angel of the Lord delivered Lot out of Sodom The Angel of the Lord smote Herod The Angel of God declared Sampsons birth Now you may see plainly the wisdome and power and offices of these glorious creatures that they receive of God for the good of our souls and bodies and shall any of us dare to say our soul is not a spiritual substance upon whom these Angels do wait The soul of man hath sometimes revelations and dreams of truth as Daniel Joseph and 1 Kings 3.5 in Gibeon the Lord appeared to Solomon in a dream by night and God said Ask what I shall give thee No man need to doubt but that this was his soul that God appeard unto and the word of the Lord was like fire in the Prophets I saw the souls of the Martyrs under the Altar saith S. John crying for justice although when they were in this world they cried for mercy the souls of faithfull beleevers in the world do pray for the young children of God their friends and alliance and desire the good of all men but when they are grown holy and perfect in the world to come then they shall stand boldly against their enemies and rejoyce in Gods righteous judgement upon them Now by Gods help I will speak something in particular of the souls of men and women the soul is a spiritual substance not seen of mortal eyes unless God open their eyes as S. John in the Revelation the soul giveth life and heat to the body the soul is the master the body the servant the body runneth and goeth at the souls command if the desires and the love and the lusts of the soul be wicked and ungodly it sets the tongue and the whole body to doing of wickedness it is most certain God hath placed the soul and body in a very neer union and friendship so that the body is maintained and preserved by the wisdome of the soul the five senses seeing hearing smelling tasting and feeling and hands and feet and strength are of the body with the help of an active spirit but the soul is of a more excellent nature it hath the image of the holy Spirit of God it hath wisdome knowledge and understanding and remembrance and imaginations and it hath love and affection the will and the thoughts now this soul being young and not come to perfection the holy spirit of God cometh and teacheth him more wisdom and knowledge and understanding and gives him many graces he giveth faith and hope and giveth him humility and love to love the good and hate the ill he placeth in this young spirit judgement and conscience being composed of the highest parts of the soul and understanding and knowledge and remembrance he sits like a Judge too examining what his soul and body hath done Understanding and knowledge being inlightned by the word of God he commandeth the will and remembrance to tell him the sins of his very youth and then his soul is troubled and then that evill old subtile spirit the Divel watcheth to put in his soul thoughts of despair or else to sear up his conscience and to blinde his understanding until worse things befall him but the holy loving Spirit of God will come into the young spirits of all his elect people and give them faith and hope and experience in the love and mercy of Christ Jesus which hath paid the ransome for all true beleevers which pray unto him with faith and humility he will surely perform his promises and save them for ever and place them in glorious dwelling places in heaven with their souls fully perfect and their bodies made glorious and spiritual bearing the image of the Lord of heaven for as we have been troubled with our earthly bodies so shall we have joy and gladness of our heavenly bodies And our Saviour Christ Jesus himself will account us for his brethren and friends Now I hope any reasonable man or woman will be satisfied in this that this great Prince his soul is a spiritual substance take some more proofs Luke 16. vers 22. And it came to passe that the begger died and was carried into Abrahams bosome by the Angels Will any man be so simple to think that these heavenly Angels were sent on a message to carry nothing No no they were sent to carry this young princely spirit to eternal rest Another proof the faithful Theef which died that lamentable death upon the Crosse who had been a foolish mad spirit but by the help of Christ now a patient and faithful man and so our Saviour tells him This day shalt thou be with me in paradise this was that his soul should be in Paradise another proof is in Eccles 12. v. 7. Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was and the spirit return to God that gave it Here then let no man nor woman undervalue the souls of themselves or others lest they prove like the spies of the land of Canaan which brought up an evill report upon that good land For certainly the souls of men women and children which are guided by his holy Spirit shall be highly advanced in heaven and their bodies made glorious bodies and there to live in joy and pleasure for evermore which have obeyed the heavenly wisdome of their souls when they were in this world and suffered so much pains and sickness and natural death and lying in the grave and turning into dust again which often feared and troubled their loving souls when they were in this life but now being departed out of their earthly houses their bodies they there first rest in heaven and have there acquittance and pardon for all their sins made fully known unto them and have full knowledge and assurance that they shall have their own very bodies and their own eies and senses restored to them again at the day of the resurrection of their bodies at the day that God hath appointed glorified and freed from all sickness and pains for proof of this see John 5. vers 21. For as the Father raiseth up the dead and quickneth them even so the Son quickneth whom he will And vers 25. Verily verily I say unto you twice spoken the hour cometh and is already and now is when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God and they that hear shall live And vers 28. of the same Chapter Marvel not at this for the hour it coming in the which all that are in the grave shall hear his voice And shall come forth they that have done good to the resurrection of life and they that have done evill unto the resurrection of damnation and in the eleventh Chapter of S. Iohn v. 23. Iesus said unto her Thy
