Excerpt from Dying Thoughts: Or Meditations on Death and Heaven This is evident from the account of man's creation, when it is said, The Lord God formed the body of man of the dust Of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living soul it is no less evident from every man's experience, that he has an active self-moving principle within him, and that this puts life and motion into the flesh he carries about with him, and by a brisk agitation of all the parts thereof, keeps it from mouldering and dissolving in corrup tion, until there be either such an attrition of its vessels, or such a conflict and jumble of all its humours, that the organ having lost its form and structure, becomes altogether untunable and unapt for the soul to work upon.
