VVhy doth he call it the breath of God?
Because he made it Immediately, not of any of the elements, as he did all other creatures: that being a thing free from composition it might be immortal, and free from the corruption, decay and death that all other earthly creatures are subject unto. And therefore as it had life in it self when it was joined to the body, so it retaineth life when it is separated from the body.

How doth God say it is not good for man to be alone, did he make any thing that was not good?
God forbid: for by good is not meant that which is set against sin or vice: but in saying, it is not good that man should be alone, he meaneth that it is not so convenient and comfortable.
