ABSTRACT

THat we may know what life is,& (because there be divers kinds of it) Wch it is that in self-murder is destroyed by death; we are to consider there are two kinds of the life of man; the first is naturall, the second is spirituall; according as he consists of two natures, and is an inhabitant of two worlds; being made of heaven and earth, to inhabit both : there is no creature in the world that consists of such various & different composition as man; nor is indowed with such multiplicity of vitall operations, or such variety of properties and qualities, fitted for diversity of actions of so many kindes; and there upon is subject to so many and opposite motions and temptations.
