Q. Wherein doth the body of man exceed the bodies of other creatures?

A. First, in that the body of man is made straight: that he may behold heauen his coun∣try, that his senses might vse their function the better, his hands might bee imployed in wor∣king, not in walking. Secondly, in that his senses are more perfect then of other crea∣tures, not in the quicker apprehension of the sensible obiect: for other creatures haue per∣fecter senses in this regard: but that man can discerne more perfecter by his senses, the diffe∣rences of obiects than other creatures. Third∣ly, in that mans body is more perfectly com∣pounded of the 4. elements, then other bodies: for the bodies of the creatures are more earth∣ly, or more waterish.
