§. 3.
GOD hath created (saith Beda) three kindes of liuing Spirits; the first incorpo∣reall, proper to Angels onely: the second, couered ouer with flesh, but not mortall, or dying there-with; that is, the soule or Spi∣rite of man, dwelling in his body: the third, carnall, and dying with the flesh; namelie, the spirite or life of beastes.
The soule of man (also) beeing once made, shall surely endure for euer, eyther in the body, or out of the body: For, it should neuer beare the name, to bee made according to the Image of Gods own like∣nesse, if it might possibly be enclosed in the bonds of death.
