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
