A29283	The unknown being of the spirit, soul, and body, anatomized wherein very many Scriptures falsly translated, and corruptly interpreted are clearly explained, by which, many doctrines now taught that subvert the faith of the gospel are discovered / written by him that is unworthy to be a witness of divine truth, John Brayne.

4. It was the Spirit Christ breathed out and no more and the Spirit he was so careful of to commit to the hands of God and nothing else Mat. 27.50 Mark 15.37 Luke 23.46 all which Scriptures shew that nothing went forth of Christ at his death but his Spirit and as not out of him so not out of us Psal 76.13 78.39 104.29 Judg. 15.19 And thus Stephen Acts 7.59 Lord Jesus receive my spirit had his Soul then left his body he would have been as careful of the one as the other See 2 Cor. 5.6 the spirit is with the Lord the body dead 5. As the spirits of just men are immediate with God so unbeleevers return to God also and receive the sentence of condemnation and commitment to prison 1 Pet. 3.18 19 20. But quickned in the spirit by which he Christ went and preached to the spirit in prison that sometime were disobedient in the days of Noah 1. The spirits not Souls not bodies are in prison yea see Gen. 6.3 2. They are the spirits of those bodies were disobedient in the days of Noah at his preaching so that what men falsly attribute to the Soul is in truth by God in Scripture only said of the spirit 6. The spirit is to be raised by the Spirit of Christ not the Soul nor body John 6.63 The flesh profiteth nothing it is the spirit quickneth So that the delusion of the times takes off men from the true and immediate use of Christ and the Scriptures 7. The spirit thus raised is that which God mainly respects in his service Joh. 4.23 Those that worship God shall worship him in spirit and in truth 1 Cor 14.15 If I sing I will sing with the spirit c. Phil. 3.3 8. The spirit seems to be of an unknown excellency by what Paul says 1 Cor. 5.3 Col. 2.5 Though absent in body yet present in spirit How the spirit may be present in the absence of the body and how the Apostle intends it is a mystery 9. The seat of the spirit is the mind which is the sublimer part of the Soul as the Soul in the blood the most excellent part of the body 1. That so it may have the more command and readier influence on the whole man 2. That being the next or nearest to its self in being in likeness Ro. 12.2 10. The converse of God is with the spirit as the spirit with the Soul the flesh and spirit are contrary the flesh in those are sanctified wars against the Soul 1 Pet. 2.11 2 Tim. 4.22 Phil. 25. 11. Whereas men are the fathers of the flesh and soul God is the Father of spirits Heb. 12.9 Eccles 12.7 12. Every man hath a particular spirit Christ as man calls his my spirit Stephen his my spirit Mary hers her spirit both male and female Gen. 45.27 Jacob his spirit 2 Cor. 3.17 2.13 13. In this part of man it is the Apostle alludes unto when he saith that in Adam all dye 1 Cor. 15.22 The actual sins we after commit are not of Adam though death of soul and body are annexed to it Rom. Death raigned over those had not sinned after Adams transgression Vide Acts 5.5 10. 1 Chron. 5.26 Dan. 5.20 14. That every man even wicked men have each a distinct spirit Deut. 2.30 see how the King of the Amorites is said to have his spirit hardened and heart obstinate If any shall be so blind as to deny this truth see Job 32.7 8. I said days should speak and multitude of years should speak wisdom But there is a spirit in man and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding 1 Cor. 6.17 1. It is not in days or years or other acquired habits that inables men to speak profitably effectually feelingly but the spirit in man makes a man more wise then his Teachers 2. The Almighty when the spirit is quickened gives it understanding which the Soul should never have or can have from God for the Soulman understandeth not the things of God nor can he but the spirit is taught of God the things eye hath not seen nor ear heard nor hath it entred into the heart of man to consider Acts 6.9 10. 3. Hence the regenerate man is called 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 1 Cor. 2.15 of which Origen on Rom. 1.4 Puto quod consuetudine sua Apostolus utatur etiam in hoc loco sciens mediam semper esse animam inter spiritum carnem aut jungere se carni effici unum cum carne aut sociare se spiritui esse unum cum spiritu ex qu● si quidem cum carne sit carnales homines fiant si vero cum spiritu spiritales idcirco extrinsecus eam non nominat sed carnem tantum vel spiritum scit enim alteri horum necessario animam cohoerere sicut in his ad quos dicit vos autem in carne non estis sed in spiritu Per Archon Lib. 2. de anima Orig. 32 Homil. John understands what is written of the flesh and spirit in Gal. 5. from vers 17 23. is meant of our flesh and our spirit and not of the Spirit of God 4. Solomon gives the most clear description of the spirit Prov. 20.27 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 The candle or light of the Lord is the spirit of man or the inspiration of man he alludes to what was done in the Creation 1. Signifying when man fell this candle was put out 2. When men are regenerated the Lord lights it Mat. 5.15 3. The Conscience is the remain of that light in man of which Job saith Job 18.6 The light shall be dark in his tabernacle that is his Conscience within him shall be extinguisht Job 21.17 sinning against the light of Conscience they put out the candle light Job 29.3 When his candle the spirit shined on me my head by his light I shall pass the darkness 1 Thes 5.19 Quench not the Spirit 5. This breathing of God into the face of man is a metaphorical expression used of God for condescention to man and commends to us some immediate way God had to communicate himself to man more then to the other of the terrestrial Creatures by which he was said to be after the image and likeness of God Object Ephes 2.18 There is one Spirit so that men have not each a particular spirit in them and Ephes 4.4 1 Resp. This is not spoke of the spirit of man but God 2 Nor as man a Creature but a Christian all Beleevers had this Spirit but no Unbeleevers 3. This is not the spirit of man but that Spirit is the Spirit to the spirit of man and gives it life again as at first 4. Of this it is said If any have not the Spirit of Christ he is none of his Object Eccles 3.19 Man and beasts are said to have one 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 that is one spirit 1. 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 here is taken for wind
