God is not like man, consisting of a soul and body; Man is the result of soul and body united together. A soul is not a man, nor is a body a man; man is a third thing rising out of both; But God is a spirit. ¹And when Job saith, What his soul desireth; The meaning is, what himself desireth. The soul of a man, is indeed the man, because the choicest part of man; though man hath another part, namely, a body, yet the soul is he. The soul of man, being his best part, is often put for the whole man. But the soul of God is not put here for God, because it is the best part of Him; His soul is himself.

God is not like man, consisting of a soule and body; Man is the result of soule and body united together. A soule is not a man, nor is a body a man; man is a third thing rising out of both; But God is a spirit. ¹And when Job sayth, What his soule desireth; The meaning is, what himselfe desireth. The soule of a man, is indeed the man, because the choycest part of man; though man hath another part, namely, a body, yet the soule is he. The soule of man, being his best part, is often put for the whole man. But the soule of God is not put here for God, because it is the best part of Him; His soule is himselfe.

Further, This phrase or manner of speaking, what his soul desireth, notes only the intenseness and strength of his desires, or what he desireth strongly. The Lord sometimes makes offers to do that which is not in his heart or desire to do: But what ever his soul goes out upon indeed, or would have done, that shall be done. Thus the word is used frequently, to set forth the full purpose of God to do a thing (Levit. 26.30.) And I will destroy your high places, and cut down your images, and cast your carcasses upon the carcasses of your idols, and my soul shall abhor you. That is, extremely abhor you, I will abhor you with the utmost abhorrence. And again (
