〈◊〉 〈◊〉 from above of this spiritual part or spirit in man which gives him the heavenly wisdom which the wisdom of the flesh that is from beneath and but earthly and animal and Diabolical is enmity against and of this breath of life or inspiration of the Almighty which gives understanding by which he comes again to be a tree of righteousness a plant of the Lords renown the seed of the Kingdom the Royal seed that right seed that holy seed which is the substance of the Oak when the leavs fall off the true man that God made who in the doing of his will abideth ever when the spirit of the Lord shall have blown away all flesh and all That Mankind that is become the seed of the serpent the generation of the Viper so that it shall wither as the grass and come to nought as the flower of the grass which to day is and to morrow is cast into the Oven Finally such a living soul as man at first became when God first breathed into him this breath of spiritual life to live and dwell in his life light and presence when the souls that live in sin and are alienated from his life through the blindness of their hearts must die for ever and ever perish from the light of his countenance This spirit of man is the very principle of spiritual life to his Soul as the Soul is the principle of natural life to his body whereby as that becomes a living body through the union of it with the soul So the Soul respectively becomes a living Soul through its Vnion with the said Spirit These three are the three principles after which the man is respectively and differently denominated sometimes after the one sometimes after the other prout occasio requirit In respect of the earthly body of which he is formed man is denominated 1 Cor. 15. 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 earthly and is said to bear an earthly image and hath his name ADAM accordingly which by interpretation is Red Earth In respect of the soul he is denominated Animal an Animal man Soully or but sensual as abstract from the aforesaid spirit Jude 19. These are they who are sensual or as the Greek word is 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 i. e. Animal having not the spirit 1 Cor. 15. there is a natural body or as the Greek word is 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 there is an Animal body 1 Cor. 2. The natural man or as the word is 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 i e. The Animal man perceiveth not the things of the spirit so also James 3. The wisdom from beneath which only the Soul is capable of without the said Spirit which gives that wisdom from above which is pure peaceable c. is said to be 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Earthly Sensual i. e. Animal and Devilish In respect of his Spirit and as he is denominated after that which is in conjunction with the Spirit of God that imparts it to him he is said to be a spiritual man discerning the things of the Spirit which the Animal man doth not and discerning others who are but Animal while himself remains undiscerned by them who are below him 1 Cor. 15. 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 1 Cor. 2. 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 And as to your asking concerning the spirit of man whether it be natural or no I answer That it is natural i. e. pertaining to the very nature of that man which God first created and of the man of God which to that primitive nature is restored for howbeit it is of the Divine Nature and so supernatural as in reference to man in the fall who is of the Devils marring yet to the constitution of such a man as God at first made after his own Image and Glory to partake of his own Divine Nature it is natural And though it is as natural to man instatu corrupto to sin and break the Law of God as for a natural bruit beast to drink in water yet to that man who is God's Image and glory by participation of the Divine Nature it is as natural as it was to Christ whose meat and drink it was to do Gods will as also it is to the meer natural man to eat and drink outwardly to observe his Law And therefore such as obey the Law are said by nature to do the things contained in the Law that is by that nature which man was at first created after which is the Divine Nature which the Saints are again according to Gods Promise partakers of 2. Pet. 1. Otherwise if ye speak of that Nature of the Devil vvhich by sin man hath to himself contracted since his departure from the other it is as contrary to that nature to do good as it is contrary to the other to do evil and this is that nature by vvhich the Saints themselves till they vvere saved by Gods grace and quickned back again into the other are said to be Eph. 2. The Children of wrath as well as other and those sinners vvho have lost the first nature are said there upon to be without natural affection i. e. Without such bovvels of mercy pitty love and compassion to their own flesh and fellow-creatures as they had vvhile they stood in the first nature And vvhereas ye ask above in the fourth query of this spirit of man as vvell as of God's and of the Devil 's Whether or no it is essentially impregnated in man I ansvver That it is essential that is pertaining to the very being and that constitutivé of the Man aforesaid viz. that man of God vvhich vvas of Gods first creating or is of Gods renewing back again into his own Nature Image and glory yea so as that such a man cannot possibly be without it though it is spiritual in it self and so neither natural as is said before nor essential either constitutive or consecutive to the being of that man that is in the transgression and alienation from God and so degenerated from primitive manhood into no better state than that of the Beast of the field which is his figure And whereas ye query Whether the said spirit of man is mortal or immortal I answer It is immortal and neither mortal nor corruptible but that immortal and incorruptible seed of God even something of that living Word which is said to be made flesh and to dwell in the Saints that is said to be ingrafted or put into man's heart whereby he being begotten into the Will of God is said to be born of God and the Son of God which Principle or innate Word being received with meekness saves that soul from sin and so from the second death as it stands in union and conjunction with it which Word is called James 1. 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 and is said to be made flesh and to dwell in the Saints John 1. as their life And whereas ye ask Whether this spirit of man hath a being distinct from the body when expired and
