1 VII| infirmities of body and soul; but all the while, whilst 2 X| Texture, Animalis, Composed of Soul.~[1] I now turn to another 3 X| of Christ is composed of soul, that His soul became flesh, 4 X| composed of soul, that His soul became flesh, so that His 5 X| flesh, so that His flesh is soul; and as His flesh is of 6 X| and as His flesh is of soul, so is His soul of flesh. 7 X| flesh is of soul, so is His soul of flesh. But here, again, 8 X| If, in order to save the soul, Christ took a soul within 9 X| the soul, Christ took a soul within Himself, because 10 X| have made that flesh one of soul, as if He could not have 11 X| could not have saved the soul in any other way than by 12 X| secure salvation to that soul which He took Himself, when 13 X| the flesh, but only our soul, how absurd it is, in the 14 X| meaning to save only the soul, He yet made it into just 15 X| carried, He ought, in that soul which He carried to have 16 X| carried to have carried our soul, one (that is) of the same 17 X| is the condition of our soul in its secret nature, it 18 X| However, it was not our soul which He saved, if His own 19 X| if He did not save our soul on the ground, that it was 20 X| the ground, that it was a soul of flesh which He saved, 21 X| because He has not saved our soul. Nor indeed did it need 22 X| salvation, for it was not our soul really, since it was, on 23 X| was, on the supposition, a soul of flesh. But yet it is 24 X| was ours; for it was our soul that was saved, since that 25 X| conclude that as in Christ the soul was not of flesh, so neither 26 X| possibly been composed of soul.~ 27 XI| Exposed. That is Christ with a Soul Composed of Flesh ---- Corporeal, 28 XI| Though Invisible. Christ's Soul, Like Ours, Distinct from 29 XI| assuming a flesh composed of soul, should seem to have had 30 XI| should seem to have had a soul that was made of flesh? 31 XI| say, desired to make the soul visible to men, by enduing 32 XI| it was born or not. The soul, therefore (they further 33 XI| by means of the flesh the soul should demonstrate itself 34 XI| it was requisite that the soul should exhibit itself in 35 XI| previous position be that the soul is wholly invisible (inquiring 36 XI| non-existent. If, then, the soul has an invisible body, He 37 XI| since He has set forth the soul as being a different thing 38 XI| what has been done to the soul, if it has been clothed 39 XI| into flesh. But even if the soul is, on their hypothesis, 40 XI| incorporeal, so that the soul, whatever it is, should 41 XI| if He displayed the soul in some new sort of body, 42 XI| adequate cause, a visible soul instead of an invisible 43 XI| as a man exhibited even a soul of a thoroughly human condition, 44 XII| The True Functions of the Soul. Christ Assumed It in His 45 XII| let it be granted that the soul is made apparent by the 46 XII| ourselves separate from our soul, when all that we are is 47 XII| when all that we are is soul. Indeed, without the soul 48 XII| soul. Indeed, without the soul we are nothing; there is 49 XII| we are ignorant of the soul, it is in fact the soul 50 XII| soul, it is in fact the soul that is ignorant of itself. [ 51 XII| look into is, whether the soul was in this matter so ignorant 52 XII| in any way it could. The soul, in my opinion, is sensual. 53 XII| therefore, pertaining to the soul is unconnected with sense, 54 XII| is unconnected with the soul. And if I may use the expression 55 XII| est" ---- "Sense is the soul's very soul." [3] Now, since 56 XII| Sense is the soul's very soul." [3] Now, since it is the 57 XII| 3] Now, since it is the soul that imparts the faculty 58 XII| the competence of every soul; it has, I mean, a practical 59 XII| which knowledge of itself no soul could possibly have exercised 60 XII| been furnished with such a soul as would make him the rational 61 XII| rational. Now, how can that soul which makes man a rational 62 XII| deprecations does not the soul use according as the man 63 XII| On the Testimony of the Soul." [6] Besides, if the soul 64 XII| Soul." [6] Besides, if the soul was ignorant of itself from 65 XII| descend and take on Him a soul, not that the soul might 66 XII| Him a soul, not that the soul might discover itself in 67 XII| was manifested," not the soul. And again, "I am come to 68 XII| I am come to save the soul." He did not say, "to explain" 69 XII| know, of course, that the soul, although an invisible essence, 70 XII| was no more composed of soul than his soul was of flesh. 71 XII| composed of soul than his soul was of flesh. What further 72 XII| of the structure of the soul which we were ignorant of 73 XIII| Nature. The Flesh and the Soul Both Fully and Un-Confusedly 74 XIII| Contained in It.~[1] The soul became flesh that the soul 75 XIII| soul became flesh that the soul might become visible. Well, 76 XIII| the flesh likewise become soul that the flesh might be 77 XIII| might be manifested? If the soul is flesh, it is no longer 78 XIII| is flesh, it is no longer soul, but flesh. If the flesh 79 XIII| but flesh. If the flesh is soul, it is no longer flesh, 80 XIII| is no longer flesh, but soul. Where, then, there is flesh, 81 XIII| flesh, and where there is soul, it has become both one 82 XIII| we should understand the soul when we name the flesh, 83 XIII| and when we indicate the soul, explain ourselves as meaning 84 XIII| 3] Therefore, also, the soul of Christ having become 85 XIII| inseparable property. And the soul is not an inseparable property. 86 XIII| it has become flesh, the soul is a uniform solid body; 87 XIII| But in Christ we find the soul and the flesh expressed 88 XIII| terms; that is to say, the soul is called soul, and the 89 XIII| say, the soul is called soul, and the flesh, flesh; nowhere 90 XIII| flesh, flesh; nowhere is the soul termed flesh, or the flesh, 91 XIII| termed flesh, or the flesh, soul; and yet they ought to have 92 XIII| properties of both, the soul by itself, and the flesh 93 XIII| flesh by itself." [5] "My soul," says He, "is exceeding 94 XIII| the world." Now, if the soul had been flesh, there would 95 XIII| only been in Christ the soul composed of flesh, or else 96 XIII| else the flesh composed of soul. Since, however, He keeps 97 XIII| distinct, the flesh and the soul, He shows them to be two. [ 98 XIII| one; if not one, then the soul is not composed of flesh, 99 XIII| flesh, nor the flesh of soul. For the soul-flesh, or 100 XIII| indeed He even had some other soul apart from that which was 101 XIII| flesh besides that which was soul. But since He had but one 102 XIII| had but one flesh and one soul, ---- that "soul which was 103 XIII| and one soul, ---- that "soul which was sorrowful, even 104 XIII| species of the flesh-comprised soul.~ 105 XIV| become man, with flesh and soul as the Son of man? As "the 106 XV| flesh was not composed. of soul, nor of stellar substance, 107 XXVII| out of it into a living soul. [4] As, then, the first 108 XXVII| of death. Into a virgin's soul, in like manner, must be 109 XXIV| by taking care) that the soul should mean only that which 110 XXIV| maintain) that His flesh and soul are just the same thing, 111 XXIV| thing, or else that His soul is all that exists, but
