Thus have we described the Temptress. The Tempted follows, who are here called the Dead. There be three kinds of death, corporal, spiritual, eternal. Corporal, when the body leaves this life. Spiritual, when the soul forsakes, and is forsaken of grace. Eternal, when both shall be thrown into hell. 1. is the separation of the soul from the body. 2. is the separation of body and soul from grace. 3. the separation of them both from everlasting happiness. Man hath two parts, by which he lives; and two places, wherein he might live, if he obeyed God: Earth for a time, Heaven for ever. This Harlot Sin, deprives either part of man in either place of true life; and subjects him, both to the first and second death. Let us therefore examine in these particulars, first, what this death is, and secondly, how Satan's guests, the wicked, may be said liable thereunto.
Thus haue wee discribed the Temptresse. The Tempted followes, who are here called the Dead. There be three kindes of death, corporall, spirituall, eternall. Corporall, when the body leaues this life. Spirituall, when the soule forsakes, and is forsaken of grace. Eternall, when both shall be throwne into hell. 1. is the seperation of the soule from the body. 2. is the seperation of body and soule from grace. 3. the seperation of them both from euerlasting happinesse. Man hath two parts, by which hee liues; and two places, wherein he might liue, if hee obayed God: Earth for a time, Heauen for euer. This Harlot Sin, depriues either part of man in either place of true life; and subiects him, both to the first and second death. Let vs therefore examine in these particulars, first, what this death is, and secondly, how Sathans guests, the wicked, may be said liable thereunto.
1. Corporal death is the departure of the soul from the body, whereby the body is left dead, without action, motion, sense. For the life of the body, is the union of the soul with it. For which essential dependence, the soul is often called and taken for the ⟨p. 160⟩life. o
