Capite quod vero and in the immediate Chapter following Moses he prooueth by the authoritie of Moses That if the Body be fully framed then the Soule is infused And by the creation of Adam whose Body was first framed and distinguished by members and immediatly the Soule infused which he affirmeth in the generation of Man still to continue the Body being fully formed the Soule to be created and in the creation infused Caluine with the rest affirme That if a man strike a woman with Child and the Child die or be borne dead that is Murther or Homicide which surely cannot be enacted without the depriuation of life nor no depriuation of life without the reasonable Soule for it is the Soule that giueth life The Interpretors of the Bookes of Moses deuide Murther into two partes The one is Homicidium and that is present death among the Iewes The other is Infanticidium The murther of an Infant For this were they not put to death vntill the cause were tryed before the Iudge and adiudged by the Magistrate who hauing found the Infant so to be killed before perfect in all his members without which there was no losse for the losse or depriuation of which by his blow he was likewise to pay his life so that had it not been fully formed and fashioned in the members and partes of the Body hee that did so strike the Woman should redeeme his life with a portion of Money But if otherwise hee should be condemned vnto death and no satisfaction to be taken for the life of the Babe but the death of the murtherer And by this reason of rendering life for life S. Augustine prooueth the beeing of the Soule in the Body of the Babe before it be borne or brought foorth into the worlde SECTIO 11. The Inference THus it is made most manifest by the assent of the best Writers which doe meete in one with the ground of the Cannon Law and approued by the arguments of Sanctification and Resurrection that the Soule is in the Infant being in the Mothers wombe before he be brought foorth into the world But if any bace bredd Brownist or vntimely Puritane should scorne these authorities affirming them the blasts of pride and that the Scripture had beene sufficient To such I say Pharises first pull out the Beame in your owne eyes And as I found the Scripture vnable to satisfie the copious capacitie of the Author being of the blantnesse of the rest of that Crewes vnderstanding being as vnable to vnderstand as Schollers well lettered are to teach them But to seale these Authorities with the signet of Gods owne mouth I leaue them still to kicke against prickes and come to the Sriptures SECTIO 12. The Proofes of Scripture MOSES in Exodus 21. Chap. 22. 23. vers setteth downe a Lawe vpon which all the former consents are grounded Iob in his 3.

Cor. 15. 25 The first man Adam was made a lyuing Soule SECTIO 13. The Inference THus by God his strict commaundement in repaying of Murther and by Iobes expostulating it is manifest that Babes haue life in their Mothers wombe but no life without the Soule which is shewed by the description of the Conception and Generation and of the infusion of the Soule Thou hast clothed mee that is Thou hast framed mee in the Wombe Thou hast giuen mee life that is A Soule More plainely doth he expresse the infusion of the Soule by the breathing of the Almightie Chap. 32. 4. Dauid likewise sheweth the misterie or secret of our Conception and by his wordes of continuance of time hee declareth that the reasonable Soule is not infused so soone as the Seede of man is efused neither in the commixion of the Seede with the Menstruall blood but when the body is in euery part and member fashioned which beeing added vnto Iobs saying Thou hast clothed mee with Skinne and ioyned mee togither with Bones and Sinewes is then so euident as that no darknesse can appeare in this light By the motion of the Child in Elizabeths wombe my proposition is most plaine the euidence most certaine for that Elizabeth acknowledgeth her Babe to haue done it for ioy Affections such as Mirth Sorrow Ioy Discontentment Gladnesse and Lamentation cannot be sayd to be in a body which hath not a reasonable Soule And I may truly say That as he was sanctified in the wombe according vnto the word of the Angel so likwise being a resonable Man had by the inspiration of the holy Ghost some perceauance of Maries Salutation or rather that her mouth vttered foorth his Prophecie for shee spake not before he sprang Exultat Elizabeth Iohannes intus impulerat Glorificat Dominum Mariae Christus intus instruxerat Elizabeth reioyseth but Iohn inwardly inforceth Marie doth glorifie the Lord but Christ being in her did inspire her And therefore doth Theophilactus the Breuiarie of Chrisostome say That what socuer Elizabeth spake prophettically not to be the wordes of Elizabeth but the wordes of the Infant and he that shewed the people the Messtas with his finger in the world doth reuerence him they both being in their Mothers wombe But if any shall say This is extraordinarie Then let them looke backe and behold Esau and Iacob whose mother with the payne she indured with them being in her wombe doth not onely acknowledge them to liue but before they are borne to be at strife one with another and there to warre for the supremacie Puto iam non animae solummodo probantur infantium sed et pugna I thinke sayth Tertullian in his
