1. That the Soul is in the Body as in a Prison. Therefore the Greek Words for the Body, are [Greek or Hebrew] quasi [Greek or Hebrew], vincio. And Petrarch saith, That he that glorieth in the strength of his Body, glorieth in the strength of his Prison. And when Plato saw one of his Scholars overcuriously pampering his Body, 1he said to him, What do you mean to make your Prison so strong? The Soul is in the Body as in a Prison, in 3 Respects.

1. Because the Soul is hidden in the Body, as a man is hidden in a Prison. As Plato saith of Virtue, That if a man could see it with corporal eyes, he could not but love it. So may I say of the Soul; If a man could see the Beauty, Glory and Excellency of it, he could not but admire it, and highly value it. But it is hidden in the Body as in a Prison.
