Ultima, = the last things in reference to the first and middle things

And yet there be more stairs to ascend: it is thirdly invisible.] Hath any man seen God? or hath any man seen Gods image (which is the soul) and lived? Substances that are more pure are less visible. We see but darkly through a glass, nay, the best eye upon earth looks but through a lattice, a window, an obscuring impediment, mortal eyes cannot behold immortal things; how then should this corruptible sight, see a spiritual soul? the object is too clear for our weak eyes, our eyes are but earthly, the soul of an heavenly nature. O divine being! not only heavenly, but heaven it self: as God and man met both in Christ, so heaven and earth met both in man: would you see this earth? that is the body, Out of it wast thou taken, and into it must thou return, Gen. 4.19.¹ would you see this heaven? that is the soul, the God of heaven gave it, and to the God of heaven returns it, ²Eccles. 12.7. The body is but a lump, but the soul is that breath of life: of earth came the body, of God was the soul: thus earth and heaven met in the creation, and ⟨p. 65⟩the man was made a living soul, Gen. 2.7.³ the sanctified soul is an heaven upon earth, ⁴where the sun is understanding, the moon is faith, and the stars gracious affections: what heaven is in that body, which lives and moves by such a soul? yet so wonderful is Gods mercy to mankind, that as reason doth possess the soul, so the soul must possess this body. Here is that union of things visible, and invisible: as the light is spiritual, incorruptible, indivisible, and so united to the air, that of these two is made one, without confusion of either; in like manner is the soul united to this body, one together, distinguished asunder: only here's the difference, the light is most visible, the soul is invisible, she is the breath of God, the beauty of man, the wonder of Angels, the envy of devils, that immortal splendour which never eye hath seen, never eye must see.
