5. Shall we be afraid of a shadow? 1The separation of the soul from God, that is death, if we speak exactly: but the separation of the soul from the body, is but the shadow of death. When see we men trembling for fear of spiritual death, which is called the First Death? and yet this ⟨p. 663⟩is far more woeful then that we call the bodily death. But as if the death of the body were nothing, the Scripture calls damnation, The second death, never putting the other into the number.
