24 Moreover, man (saith Aben-ezra) being made a living soul, he straightway moved himself: the first man was not created to be weak as young children be, which cannot guide themselves and walk; but after the manner of other living creatures, which walk immediately after they be brought forth:) or else he showed the tokens of the presence of the soul; moving (I mean) and sense. 1For these two (as Aristotle affirmeth) seemed to all the ancient philosophers to be the chief effects of the soul. Of this blast of God upon the dust or clay, whereof the body of man was compact (we perceiving the same to be so mighty, as it quickened forthwith, & gave strength to all members) ⟨p. 123⟩there is gathered a good argument for the easiness of our resurrection. 2For if his spirit shall blow again upon the ashes of the dead, they shall most easily put on again their souls, as it is described in the 37. chapter of Ezekiel, where he showeth, that by the breath of the spirit of God those bones were quickened; which last renewing of bodies, shall so far excel this, as Paul calleth this first man Of the earth, earthy; and the latter he calleth both spiritual and heavenly.
24 Moreouer, man (saith Aben-ezra) being made a liuing soule, he straitwaie mooued himselfe: the first man was not created to be weake as yoong children be, which cannot guide themselues and walke; but after the manner of other liuing creatures, which walke immediatelie after they be brought foorth:) or else he shewed the tokens of the presence of the soule; moouing (I meane) and sense. 1For these two (as Aristotle affirmeth) séemed to all the ancient philosophers to be the chéefe effects of the soule. Of this blast of God vpon the dust or claie, whereof the bodie of man was compact (we perceiuing the same to be so mightie, as it quickned forthwith, & gaue strength to all members) ⟨p. 123⟩there is gathered a good argument for the easines of our resurrection.
