First, As in the natural death there is a privation of life when the soul is separated from the body; so in the spiritual death there is a privation of the life of the soul; namely, the extinction of original righteousness; by reason of which, a man can neither set hand nor foot forward in the ways of goodness; as Paul confesseth of himself: ⟨p. 4⟩for as the separation of the soul makes the body to dye; so the extinction of original righteousness makes the soul to dye.
