Secondly, When Job saith [My soul is weary of my life.] We learn; That
Soul and life in man are two distinct things.
For howsoever (as was touched in explication) the soul is often put for the whole man, and so the sense of, my soul is weary, may be but this, I am weary of my life: yet the holy Ghost would never denominate all man by that, which is […] not a part of man. That's a brutish opinion which makes the soul nothing, or nothing else but life, and this life no more in entity then the life of a beast, which vanisheth, when it dieth. That these opinionists tell us, they believe the body shall rise again by the power of God, cannot satisfy for this fall, which their opinion gives the soul: neither doth the immortality of the soul at all contradict, (which was threatened for, and is the wages of sin) the death of the whole man. For death consists not (if we may say a privation doth consist) in the annihilation, but in the separation of those parts of man, soul and body, which by life are united and kept close together.
