When (as Solomon allegorizeth the death of man, Eccl. 12.6, 7.) The silver cord is loosed, and the golden bowl broken, &c. Then shall the dust (that is, the body) return to the earth as it was, and the spirit shall return to God who gave it; that is, each part of man (when he departeth this world) shall go its proper way, and return to that which is most congenial to it; his body to the earth, from whence it is; his soul to God, of whom it is. God is a Spirit, the creating Spirit, and our created spirits are gathered to God when they are separated from the body; yet remember there is a two-fold gathering or returning of the spirit to God.
