Concerning the dignity of the soul in its nature and essence, Reason hath adventured thus far, to confess that1 the soul of man, is in some sort a spark and beam of divine brightness. And a greater and more infallible Oracle hath warranted that it was breathed into him by God himself, and was made after his Image and likeness, not substantially, as if therea were a Real Emanation and Traduction of the Soul out of God; which were blasphemous and impious to conceive: but only by way of Resemblance, and imitation of God properties in mans original created nature which is more notable in him, than in the othe• parts of the world; there is indeed in all God3 works some kind of image, and lineaments, an• footsteps of his glory.
