2. Separation from the Body is to be considered in facto esse, (i. e.) in the result and issue of all these bitter pangs and Agonies which end in the actual dissolution of Soul and Body. *Death, or actual separation, is nothing else but the dissolving of the tie, or loosing of the bond of Union betwixt the Soul and Body. †Some call it the privation of the second Act of the Soul, that is, its Act of informing ⟨p. 197⟩or enlivening the Body. Others, according to Scripture phrase, the departing of the Soul from the Body. So Peter stiles it, 2 Pet. 1.15. [Greek or Hebrew], after my departure, (i.e.) after my death.3 Augustine calls it the laying down of an heavy burden, provided there be not another burden for the Soul to bear afterwards, which will sink it into Hell.
