The Properties then and Attributes of God,1 wherein this Image chiefly consists, are first these three. Spirituality with the two immediate consequents thereof, Simplicity and Immortality, in which the soul hath partook without any after corruption or depravation. Concerning the former, it were vast, and needless, to confute those *sundry opinions of ancient Philosophers, concerning the substance of the soul; many where of Tully in the first of his Tusculans hath reported; And Aristotle confuted in his first de Anima. Some conceived it to be blood, others the brain, some fire, others air; some that it consists in Harmony and Number; and the Philosopher Dicaearchus, that it was nothing at all ⟨p. 403⟩but the body disposed and fitted for the works of life. But to let these pass as unworthy of refutation, and to proceed to the truth of the first property.
