deifying Father 21. Trissm There are differences O Son of every Soul 22. Tat. But how dost thou again divide the changes 23. Trism Hast thou not heard in the generall Speeches that from one Soul of the universe are all those Souls which in all the world are tossed up and down as it were and severally divided Of these Souls there are many changes some into a more fortunate estate and some quite contrary for they which are of creeping things are changed into those of watery things and those of things living in the water to those of things living upon the Land and Airy ones are changed into men and humane Souls that lay hold of immortality are changed into Demons 24. And so they go on into the sphere or region of the fixed Gods for there are two quiets or companies of Gods one of them that wander and another of them that are fixed And this is the most perfect glory of the Soul 25. But the Soul entering into the Body of a Man if it continue evil shall neither taste of immortality nor is partaker of the good 26. But being drawn back the same way it returneth into creeping things And this is the condemnation of an evil Soul 27. And the wickednesse of a Soul is ignorance for the Soul that knows nothing of the things that are neither the Nature of them nor that which is good but is blinded rusheth and dasheth against the bodily Passions and unhappy as it is not knowing it self it serveth strange Bodies and evil ones carrying the Body as a burthen and not ruling but ruled And this is the mischief of the Soul 28. On the contrary the vertue of the Soul is Knowledge for he that knows is both good and religious already Divine 29. Tat. But who is such an one O Father 30. Trism He that neither speaks nor hears many things for he O Son that heareth two speeches or hearings fighteth in the shadow 31. For God and the Father and Good is neither spoken nor heard 32. This being so in all things that are are the Senses because they cannot be without them 33. But Knowledge differs much from Sense for Sense is of things that surmount it but Knowledge is the end of Sense 34. Knowledge is the gift of God for all Knowledge is unbodily but useth the Minde as an Instrument as the Minde useth the Body 35. Therefore both intelligible and materiall things go both of them into bodies for of contraposition that is setting one against another and contrariety all things must consist And it is impossible it should be otherwise 36. Tat. Who therefore is this materiall God 37. Trism The fair and beautifull World and yet it is not good for it is materiall and easily passible nay it is the first of all passible things and the second of the things that are and needy or wanting somewhat else And it was once made and is alwayes and is ever in generation and made and continually makes or generates things that have quantity and quality 38 For it is moveable and every materiall motion is generation but the intellectuall stability moves the materiall motion after this manner 39. Because the World is a Sphere that is a head and above the head there is nothing materiall as beneath the feet there is nothing intellectual 40. The whole universe is materiall The Minde is the head and it is moved spherically that is like a head 41. Whatsoever is joyned or united to the Membrane or Film of this head wherein the Soul is is immortal and is in the Soul of a made Body hath its Soul full of the Body but th●… that are further from that Membrane have the Body full of Soul 42. The whole is a living wight and therefore consisteth of materiall and intellectuall 43. And the World is the first and Man the second living wight after the World but the first of things that are mortall and therefore hath whatsoever benefit of the Soul all the other have And yet for all this he is not only not good but flatly evill as being mortall 44. For the World is not good as it is moveable nor evil as it is immortall 45. But Man is evil both as he is moveable and as he is mortall 46. But the Soul of Man is carried in this manner The Minde is in Reason Reason in the Soul the Soul in the Spirit the Spirit in the Body 47. The Spirit being diffused and going through the veins and arteries and blood both moveth the living Creature and after a certain manner beareth it 48. Wherefore some also have thought the Soul to be blood being deceived in Nature not knowing that first the Spirit must return into the Soul and then the blood is congealed the veines and arteries emptied and then the living thing dieth And this is the death of the Body 49. All things depend of one beginning and the beginning depends of that which is one and alone 50. And the beginning is moved that it may again be a beginning but that which is one standeth and abideth and is not moved 51. There are therefore these three God the Father and the God the World and Man God hath the World and the world hath Man and the World is the Son of God and Man is as it were the Off-spring of the World 52. For God is not ignorant of man but knows him perfectly and will be known by him This only is healthfull to man the Knowledge of God This is the return of Olympus by this only the Soul is made good and not sometimes good and sometimes evil but of necessity Good 53. Tat. What meanest thou O Father 54. Trism Consider O Son the Soul of a Childe when as yet it hath received no dissolution of its Body which is not yet grown but is very small how then if it look upon it self it fees it self beautifull as not having been yet sp●…tted with the Passions of the Body but as it were depending yet upon the Soul of the World 55. But when the Body is grown and distracteth the Soul it ingenders Forgetfulness and partakes no more of the Fair and the Good and Forgetfulnesse is Evilnesse 56. The like also happeneth to them that go out of the Body For when the Soul runs back into it self the Spirit is contracted into the blood and the Soul into the Spirit but the Minde being made pure and free from these cloathings and being Divine by Nature taking a fiery Body rangeth abroad in every place leaving the Soul to judgment and to the punishment it hath deserved 57. Tat. Why dost thou say so O Father That the Minde is separated from the Soul and the Soul from the Spirit When even now thou saidst the Soul was the Cloathing or Apparell of the-Minde and the Body of the Soul 58. Trism O Son he that heares must co-understand and conspire in thought with him that speakes yea he must have his hearing swifter and sharper then the
