defiled by propogation from our parents throug originall sin Though the body bee defiled by propogation from our parents through sin yet doth not sin springfrom the body but from the soul Matth. 15. ●…8 so that the soul is properly the principall agent in sin and the body the instrument of the soul The purest rain water that comes from heaven no sooner falls upon the earth on a durty place but it becomes forthwith the moisture of that durt and with it polluted So doth the soul of man which God from heaven places in the body a durty defiled place it is no sooner coopled therewith but becomes forthwith to be unclean The reward of sin is death But sin is not in the body till the soul come Ergo The soul that sinneth with the body is guilty of death Object If sin be an adjunct of the soul not of the body so that it is not in the body before the soul come and that the soul is created of God pure and ●…nspotted and so placed in the body where shall we place originall sin Answer Originall sin is neither proper to the body nor to the soul but is Hominis peccatum a sin of the whole man neither the body must be respected alone nor the soul alone but as they do joyntly make one man and so enter into one condition and are partakers each of others woe or welfare CHAP. V. Sheweth the sensative part of the soule THe sensative part of the soule is that which is touched with the sence either of Joy or grriefe This joy of the soul cannot be hindred by man where it is it is not in mans power to take it away Ioh. 26. 22. So also neither can all the comforts in the world ease a soule that is grieved except the soul it self be touched with the sence of joy This joy or grief doth arise in the soul First from the sence of its present condition Secondly In respect of its future expectation 1. From the sense of the present condition of the soul doth arise either joy or griefe Thus The soul of man doth either rejoyce in the sensative part thereof under some present concived good or else grieveth under some present conceived evill that may be when the Imagination of the soul being fixed on something which it hath or wanteth the judgement doth either like or detest it and so accordingly doth rejoyce or grieve in the enjoying or want thereof As for example A man that is Rich imagineth with himselfe what good is in Riches if the judgement liketh that estate which he enjoyes then is his soul joyful in the enjoying thereof for the present Again A man whose minde is on pleasure the judgement liketh it and therefore rejoyseth in enjoying it and grieveth in being abridged from it Again A man whose imaginations are towards God the judgement being cleere and seeing the good that is in God the soul doth rejoyce to worship him and is grieved because of sin but if the imaginations deceive the heart and the judgement be corrupted so that he cannot see any sweetnesse therein then doth Gods worship become a burthen to the soule 2. This joy or grief doth arise in the soul from the sence of its future expectation When the mind is set on something that shall befall man the Imagination conciveth it either to be good or evill and thereupon doth either fear it or with hope desire it which breedeth either joy or grie●… in the soul As when the minde is set on Jesus Christ desiring salvation through him the Imagination conceiveth it to be good or evil so to do and accordingly as we minde created comforts or 〈◊〉 ourselves on Christ as our chiefest good so fear doth greive or hope rejoyce our soules A man that seeketh felicity from the creature if the judgement conceive it to be evil then though the heart of man be delighted therewith yet doth not the soul desire it but is grieved thereat but if the Imagination conceive it to be good then doth the soul desire it hope for it and rejoyce in the thought thereof When the soul desires Christ apprehending the glory that is in him here is rejoycing Hen●… is the soul even in this life delight●… in the hope of its glory in heaven 〈◊〉 tormented with fear of its horror i●… hell CHAP. VI Of the powers of the souls essence THe soul of man being really one thing hath three powers Memoriam Int●…llectum Voluntatem Memorie understanding and will which three make one essent all soul but in property they are distinct For the propertie of the memorie as to remember the understrnding to perceive and understand The will to chuse out of the memory springeth intelligence and out of both the will Herein the soul may appear to be created after the Image of God because the Deity hath three persons the Father the Son and the Holy Ghost which three constitute one essenciall God yet every person hath this property From the Father cometh the Son and from both the Holy Ghost CHAP. VII Treateth of the faculties of the soul THe faculties of the soul are those inward gifts which God hath framed in it for the helpe of it self As the Lord hath given the body members so hath he given the soul faculties With the Judement we allow or disallow With the understanding we perceive and apprehend With the Affection we love and delight in things The desire seeketh and waiteth for what it doth effect with the Will we chuse to follow what we desire With the minde we are servent in seeking what we chuse By the memory we retain in mind c The Iudgement being rightly informed we walk in peace and serve God with comfort but when the Iudgement is corrupted all joy is gone The understanding being inlightened we abhor sin but when the understanding is darkned wee are beguiled with sin The Affection being set upon a good object bringeth life but being set on earthly things makes us in danger of the wrath of God c. Thus as the mouth receiving poison The hand receiving a vveapon The feet leading into the sea c. Is the way to destroy the body So to have the Desire Minde Affection c. set on worldly things is the way to destroy both soul and dody But being set on God on heavenly things they make the soul glorious The body the temple of the glorious Spirit and both soul and body Heir of eternall glory through Christ Jesus CHAP. VIII Sheweth that when the body dyeth the soul neither sleepeth nor perisheth but immediately is received either to ioy or torment 1 SOme say that it is the doctrine of Heretickes to perswade themselves that they shall ●…scend into Heaven and to be inhanced to the sight of Father before the generall
resurrection of the dead 2. Others do imagine that the soul perisheth when the body dies 3. But the Sripture proveth plainly that the soul being loosed from ihe body doth forthwith either ascend to glory or descend to tormment not that the soul receiveth the perfection of its estate till the Resurrection yet doth the soul enjoy either reall blisse or miserie when the bodie dies in part which after the day of resurection shall be absolute both of soul and body The bodie indeed dieth as Paul saith because of sin but the soul dieth not Rom. 8. CHAP. IX Sheweth that the soules remain●… where they are sent till the Resurrection 1 SOme beleeve that the souls of persons deceased have often times apeared 2 Others have declared that Sacrifices and prayers of the living have much profited the soules of men th●… were dead 3. The Lord doth forbid to aske or to seek any truth of the Spirits 〈◊〉 the dead The Prophets do send 〈◊〉 from such Oracles to the Law and Testimony of Gods Word The Evangelists teach us in the Gospel th●… those that are dead rise not again i●… apparitions Obeict But many partly by A●… Magicke have been raised as Samuel 1 Sam. 28. Answ. Chrisostome answereth thi●… objection very fully The questio●… being asked What shall we say 〈◊〉 those voyces which say I am such ●… soul He answers That voice sait●… he which speaketh these things is no●… the soul of any parson departed but it is the Devill which doth faine these things to deceive the hearers Such words are to be Counted Old wives tales and foolish fables of Children for the soul separate from the body faith B. Alley doth not wander in this world for the souls of the righteous are in the hands of God and the souls of sinners after their departure are presently carried to their place of torment Obiect But the souls of some have returned again into their bodies after departure and they have lived on earth again As Lasarus Iohn 11. To this objection Tertul makes answer saying Although the power of God hath called again certain souls into their bodies in token of his might and right This was done in example of the Resurrection when the power of God whether by the Prophets or by Christ or else by the Apostles did render soules then into their bodies it is declared by the sensible and sufficient truth that this is the very form of the truth that thou maist iudg every incorporat apparition of the dead to be deceits delusions CHAP. X. Treateth of the inward vertues and faculties of the bodie THe inward vertues and faculties of the body are such which stirre up the powers to action Which are of three sorts The first cometh from the brain and sedeth the sence and moving into all the body through the muscles and nerves by motion which feedeth all the senses outwardly and the imagination reason and memory inwardly The second carrieth life through all the body which either dilateth the hart and arteries from whence mirt●… and love ariseth or else doth constrain and binde the arteries and heart from whence ariseth melancholy sadnesse and revenge The third cometh from the liver and sendeth the nourishment through all the body which doth 1. attract tha●… which is proper 2. retain that which is d●…awn 3. digest that which is retaine●… 〈◊〉 expell that which is hurtfull as Low saith CHAP. XI Treateth of the vitall spiritg of the body THe substance of the spirits in mans body is the most pure and thinnest of the blood which passeth through all the body to the effect the members may do their proper actions abounding most in the heart arteries braines and nerves which are of three sorts The first rem●…ineth in the braine which passeth from thence to the ears other parts but chiefly to the eyes Therefore these who are ●…linde have their other vertues more strong The second is that which is in the heart and Arteries and is made of the evaporations of the blood and of the aire laboured in the lig●…s by the force of vitall heat and thereafter is diffused through the members for the Conservation of the naturall heate The third is that which is ingendred in the liver and vaines and there remaineth while theliver maketh the blood and other naturall operations The use of it is to helpe the conconcoction As saith Lowe CHAP. XII Treateth of the perturbations and passions of the minds THe minde being governed by reason is preserved from extremity in passion But being without reason such passions and perturbations do●… arise which bringeth great mutations into the naturall heate in so much that as some have written many dye by the passions and perturbations of the minde This is caused when the passions of the midne doth either dilate or comprimce the heart for the vitall spirits and cast forth by the great dilation of the heart as also retained by the great Compression thereof As for example Joy Hope Love c. These being out of reason do through the passion of the minde so dilate the heart that they cast forth the spirits And sadnesse fear envie c. do recall the vitall spirits inwardly to the center of the body whence many times ensueth death CHAP. XII Treateth of the particular passions of the minde THe particular passions of the minde are many but chiefly these Mirth Sadnesse Fear anger Shamefastnesse Envy Hatred Hope Love c. I. Mirth or Joy is an affection of the minde of a thing good and pleasant by the which the blood and spirits are pleasantly spread for the present by the dilation of the heart but if it be great and last any long space death often ensueth because the heart is altogether destitute of blood As a Pollicritia b Phillipedes and many others who have died through extremity of joy 2. Sadnesse is an affection that doth revoke the naturall heate inwardly to the Center of the body which in time presseth the heart and drieth up the body hindreth the government of the spirit vitall which is sometimes so weakne●… that it is not able to go with the blood through the rest of the body so wasteth the body in such sort that it becommeth attrified and leane wherupon death often insueth 3. Feare is a motion which revoketh the spirits to the heart the Center of the body whereby the naturall heat is suffocated causing trembling which sometimes causeth many women to that are with childe fall in labour somtimes * through feare death ensueth to men or women 4. Anger is a sudden revocation or calling backe of the spirits to the externall parts with an appetite of revenge It inflameth the whole habitude of the body the spirits and blood are troubled as also the braines it bindeth the heart and lights Whereof Dangerous siknesses
