A WORK For none but ANGELS MEN THAT IS To be able to look into and to know our selves OR A BOOK Shewing what the SOULE Is Subsisting and having its operations without the Body it s more then a perfection or reflection of the Sense or Temperature of Humours Not traduced from the Parents subsisting by it self without the Body How she exercises her powers in the Body the vegetative or quickning power of the Senses Of the Imagination or Common sense the Phantasie Sensative Memory Passions Motion of Life the Locall Motion Intellectuall powers of the soul Of the Wit Understanding Reason Opinion Judgement Power of Will and the Relations betwixt Wit and Will Of the Intellectuall memory which is the Souls store-house wherein all that is laid up therein remaineth there even after death and cannot be lost that the Soule is Immortall and cannot dye cannot be destroyed her cause cease●h not violence nor time cannot destroy her and all Objections answered to the contrary Thomas Jenner has lineas composuit In faelix qui pauca sapit spernitque doc●ri Such knowledge is too wonderfull for me it is high I cannot attaine unto it Psal 139.6 LONDON Printed by M. S. for Thomas Jenner at the South-Entrance of the Royall EXCHANGE 1658. Of the Soule of Man and the Immortality thereof Why since the desire to know did corrupt the roote of all mankind did my parents send me to Schoole that my minde might be inriched therewith for when our first parents cleere and sharpe reasons eye could have approached the eternall light as the Intellectuall Angells even then the Spirit of lies suggests that because they saw no Ill therefore they were blind and breathed into them a curious wish which did corrupt their will for that ill they straight desired to know which ill was nothing but a defect of good which the Devill could not shew while man stood in his perfection so that they were first to doe the Ill before they could attaine the knowledge of it as men by tasting poyson know the power of it by destroying themselves Thus man did ill to know good and blinded reasons eye to give light to passions eye and then he saw those wretched shapes of misery and woe nakednesse shame and poverty by experience Reason grew darke and could not discern the fair formes of God and truth and mans soul which at first was fair spotlesse and good sees her selfe spotted hanted with spirits impatient to see her own faults therefore turnes her selfe outward and sees the face of those things pleasing and agreable unto her sences so that she can never meet with her selfe The lights of Heaven which are the fair eyes of the World they looke down upon the World to view it and as they run and wander in the Skies they survey all things that are on the Center yet the lights mine eyes which see all objects farre and nigh look not into this little world of mine nor see my face in which they are fixed since nature fails us in no needfull thing why doe I want means to see my inward selfe which sight might bring me to the knowledge of my selfe which is the first degree to true wisdome that power which gave me ability to see externals infused an inward light to see my self by means of which I might have a perfect knowledge of my own form But as the eye can see nothing without the light of the Sun neither can the mind see her self without Divine light for how can art make that cleere which is dim by nature and the greatest wits are Ignorant both where she is and what she is one thinkes her to be Air and another fire and another Blood defused about the heart and that she is compounded of the Elements Musitians say our soules are Harmonies Physitians the complexions Epicures makes them swarmes of Atomes which by chance fly into our Bodies some again that one soule fills every man as the Sun gives light to every star others that the name of soule is a vain thing and that it is a well mixt body and as they differ about her substance so also where her seate is some lift her up into the Brain others thrust her down into the stomack some place her in the heart and others in the liver Some say that she is all in all and all in every part and that she is not contained but containes all and thus the learned Clerkes play at hazzard and let them say it is what they will there be some that will maintain it the only wise God to punish the pride of mens wits hath therefore wrought this confusion but he that did make the Soule of nothing and restor'd it when fallen to nothing that so we might be twice his can define her subtle forme and knowes her nature and powers To judge her selfe she must transcend her selfe for fetterd men cannot expresse their strength but now in these latter dayes those Divine Mysteries which were laid in darkness are brought to light and this Lampe of God which doth defuse it selfe through all the Region of the braine doth shew the immortall face of it VNDERSTANDING I once was Aegle ey'ed full of all light Am owle eyd now as dim as darke as night As through a glasse or Cloud I all thinges vew Shall on day see them in there proper hue MEMORIE A com̄on Jnne all com̄ers to reteyne A Siue where good run̄e out bad remayne A Burrow with a thousand vermine hydes A Den where nothinge that is good abides This she doth when from particular things she abstracts the Universall kinds which are immateriall and bodilesse and can be lodged no where else but in the minde And thus from divers acts and accidents which fall within her observation she abstracts divine power and virtue again how can she know severall bodies if she were a body the eye cannot see all colours at once nor the tongue relish all tasts at one time but successively nor can we judge of Passion except we be free from all passions nor can a Judg execute his office well if he be possest of either party if lastly this quick power were a body were it as swifte as fire or winde which blowes the on one way makes the other a spier her nimble body yet in time must move not slide through all places at an instant she is nigh and far above beneath in poynt of time which thought cannot devide she is as soon sent to China as to Spain and returnes as soon as sent she as soon measures the heavens as an ell of Silke As then the soule hath a substance besides the body in which she is confinde so hath she not a body of her own but is a spirit and a minde immateriall Since the body and soul have such diversities we may very well muse how this match began but that the Scripture tells us Zachariah 12.1 sayth the Lord which stretcheth forth the Heavens and layeth
