haue said, by the very commaundement of God the soule was put into the bodie.
The most auncient Fathers, Iustinus, Irenaeus and Tertullian, are of opinion that the Sonne 〈◊〉〈◊〉 God ••uen at that very time taking vnto himselfe the shape of a mans bodie for the present (wherein after∣ward he appeared to the Fathers to be a beginning of that which afterward he performed truly and indeede) tooke clay in his hands, and thereof framed the bodie of Adam to the likenesse of that bo∣dily forme which he tooke vpon him, and by breathing into Adams nostrils, put into him the soule: afterwards he tooke one of the ribs of Adam, and builded Eue of that. Which opinion of the Fathers, seemeth to haue nothing contrary to the analogie of faith. For Christ in the Gospell by such like actions (as when he made clay with his spittle, wherewith he annointed the blind man, Iohn. 9.6. and by breathing vpon the Apostles, gaue them the holy Ghost) did signifie that it was euen he himselfe that had framed Adam of the clay, and had breathed into him the liuing soule. And therefore that breathing (whereof Moses speaketh) was created, and no part of the Deitie it selfe; and it was a visible signe of an inuisible thing, to wit, of the soule, which the Sonne of God created, and put into the bodie of Adam: as that breathing of Christ, wherewith he brea∣thed vpon his Disciples was not the spirit of God himselfe, but a visible signe of the holy Ghost.
