Here he saith not,2 the spirit or soul of man perisheth, or vanisheth, or dieth, or it is bereaved of sense; but that it departeth, to wit, from the body wherein it dwelleth: and that not the spirit, but the man returneth to his earth; that is, as concerning his body, which was made of earth, as it is written, Genes. 3. and Eccl. 12.
