1 Lux naturalis, the light of nature; this was goodly in Adam, Job 24.13. They are of those that rebel against the light; that is, against the light of nature. […] was of opinion that every soul had this light till it came into the body; and by that mixture it was only muffled and blinded. Hence was that his maxim; that […], to know, he was nothing else but Reminisci, to remember. But this opinion presupposeth a Seminary or Promptuary of souls, from whence they are derived to their bodies; which is false. The Scripture saith, God formeth the spirit of man within him, Zach. 12.1. Infundendo creature, & creando infunditur: it is created with infusion, and infused with creation. Yet when the spirit and flesh meet, and man is made, this light is defaced; for Anima cùm infunditur, inficitur: the soul even when it is infused, is infected.
