Be there onely one or more soules in one and the same man?
1. Onely one, because many and diuers faculties do not make many and diuers substantiall formes.
2. Because there can be but one essentiall forme of one man, or one perfection of him.
3. Because God breathed into Adam one onely breathinga 1.1.
4. Because in Scripture there are neuer more soules then one attributed to one man, but euer one alone,b 1.2 Math. 26.38. although in one man there be moe faculties of one soule which are in it at one time, as there be three vnities in the number of three, which is yet but one number. And all these faculties do manifest them∣selues in time, some sooner, some later, euen as the instruments of this or that facultie in the bodie are fitted strong and liuely: or else are first framed and do come first.
