Scripture, and reason, and nature, enforceth this, that the soul hath a subsistence of it self, distinct from the life it communicates to the body. There is a double life, a life proper to the soul, and the life it communicates to the 1body: now when the life it communicates to the body is gone to dissolution, it self hath a life in heaven. And indeed it is in a manner the whole man: for Abraham, was Abraham when he was dead, when his soul was in heaven, and his body in the grave, it is the whole man.
