, that is, “and man was made a living creature.” And after Noah came out of the ark, God saith, He will no more smite omnem animam viventem , that is, “every living creature.” And ( Deut. 12:23), “Eat not the blood, for the blood is the soul”; that is, “the life.” From which places, if by “soul” were meant a “substance incorporeal,” with an existence separated from the body, it might as well be inferred of any other living creature as of man. But that the souls of the faithful, are not of their own nature, but by God’s special grace, to remain in their bodies, from the resurrection to all eternity, I have already, I think, sufficiently proved out of the Scriptures, in chapter XXXVIII . And for the places of the New Testament, where it is said that any man shall be cast body and soul into hell fire, it is no more than body and life; that is to say, they shall be cast alive into the perpetual fire of Gehenna.
