Propositions and principles of divinity propounded and disputed in the university of Geneva, by certain students of divinity there, under M. Theod. Beza, and M. Anthony Faius ...

Translated out of Latin into English, to the end that the causes, both of the present dangers of that Church, and also of the troubles of those that are hardly dealt with else-where, may appear in the English tongue.Propositions and principles of diuinitie propounded and disputed in the vniuersitie of Geneua, by certaine students of diuinitie there, vnder M.

6 The essence of the soul can scarce be known: for it is not to be perceived by the instrument of any the senses of our bodies: yet by the faculties and operations of it, it doth in a sort open it self unto us. And therefore it is usually described and pointed out, after this plain manner.
