Of Heaven A SECRET Disclosed CHAP. I. Sheweth what the soul of man is I. SOme a define the soul to be the Spirit of life created after the Image of God and inspired into the body of man II. Others say it is an understanding spirit the second part of the substance of man which doth not perish when it departeth from the body but is immortall III. But the true description of the soul according to the diffinition of great learned men is this Namely that the soule of man is a spirituall substance infused of God into the body of man that being joyned thereto may give it life direct and rule it and being separated from the body doth not perish but live immortally and eternally ●… The soul is a very substantiall essence and not a qualitie A qualitie without a substance is not sensible of joy or torment But the soul of man is in it self sensible of joy or sorrow Ergo The soul of man is a very substantiall essence The soul of the rich glutton was tormented in Hell The soul of the theef was with Christ in Paradice The souls under the Altar did cry aloud 2. This substance of the soul is not of these usuall and known natures which we touch and perceive with these senses of the body which are corporall but a spirituall substance That substance which consisteth neither of earth water ayr nor fire neither of any of them severally of part of them or of them all joyned together doth consist not of a corporall but of a spirituall substance But the substance of the soul doth consist neither of earth air fire nor water of any of them nor of all of them Ergo The soul of man is not a corporall but a spirituall substance God breathed the soul of Adam into his body First God made Adam a naturall body then gave him a spirituall soul The body was a type of Adam the soul a type of Christ therefore when the body the earthly part of man dyeth the soul which is spirituall dieth not but departeth pointeth it 3. The soul of man is of God infused into the body and not received by generation from the parents That which we received from our parents we received by generation from them but we received not our souls by generation from our paretns but from God who gave them Ergo We received not our souls from our parents but from God God 〈◊〉 saith Zechariah formed the spirit of man within him Our parents are the fathers of our bodies but God is himself the father of our souls therefore when we die the soul perisheth not with the body in death but returneth to God that gave it CHAP. II. Sheweth whence the souls come when and how they enter into the bodies I. SOme have thought that the soul doth slide from Heaven II. Others have thought that the soul hath its originall from the proper substance of God III. Some do beleeve that all the souls being once made together are reserved in the treasure-house of God and so sent into the bodies after the perfection thereof IIII. Others do suppose that as the body cometh of the body so the soul also springeth of the soul V. Others have declared that the souls of men are daily made of God and so sent into the bodies VI Lastly others of better approved judgements in this particular affirm the soul to be made by God of nothing and to be powred of God into the body when that the fruit is made perfect in the mothers womb with shape and all other parts It is the Lord that fashioneth the soul of man in him and preserveth man by it CHAP. III. Sheweth the puritie of the soul THe soul is created of God pure and holy as God createth it in its own simple nature in respect of God What God createth to praise his name he createth pure and holy Isai. 43. 7. But God createth the soul of man to praise his name Psal. 119. 175.
