What is the body without the soul, but a lump of clay; As soon as ever the soul departs, life departs, man dyeth and becomes a putrefying carcass; yet such is the folly of most men, that all their care is for the life of the body, which is (at best) a dying life, they utterly neglect the soul, which, as it is the life of the body, so it self never dyeth. The soul is the Jewell, the body is but the Cabinet, the soul is the kernel, the body is but the shell. Will you be solicitous, about a Cabinet, and a shell, and slight the Jewel, or throw away the kernel? Will you take care of that which liveth, the body, and will you not take care of that which holds your life, the soul?
What is the body without the soule, but a lumpe of clay; As soone as ever the soule departs, life departs, man dyeth and becomes a putrifying carkasse; yet such is the folly of most men, that all their care is for the life of the body, which is (at best) a dying life, they utterly neglect the soule, which, as it is the life of the body, so it selfe never dyeth. The soule is the Jewell, the body is but the Cabinet, the soule is the kernel, the body is but the shell. Will you be sollicitous, about a Cabinet, and a shell, and slight the Jewel, or throw away the kernel? Will you take care of that which liveth, the body, and will you not take care of that which holds your life, the soule?
