The Body and Mind, I will knit together, (They fell down, and worshipped him.) It is fit they should be partners in repentance, that have been confederates in sin. It is questioned, whether in transgressing, the body or the soul be most culpable? I am sure, either is guilty. It is all one: a man that wants Eyes, carries a man that wants Feet: the lame that cannot go, spies a Booty; and tells his blind Porter of it, that cannot see: He that hath Eyes directs the way; he that hath Feet travels to it; but they both consent to steal it. The Body without the Soul wants Eyes: the Soul without the Body wants Feet; but either supplies the other to purloin Gods glory: Discuss, whether more, that list; I am certain, both the blind and the lame are guilty. Both have offended, both must in a repentant Oblation be offered to God. Therefore saith Paul, not only Present your Bodies […] Sacrifice; 1but also, Be transformed by the renewing of your Minds. Bodily labour profits •tle, without the Soul; and it is a proud Soul that hath stiff Knees. These Magi therefore give both; Procidentes ador•uerunt eum.
