Man is a trinity, consisting of the pneuma, spirit; psychee, the soul and soma, the body. The spirit is the man proper, and consists of the conscience, the will and the affections . The soul, which is the highest inducement of the spirit consists of the physical life, intellect, judgment and the sensibilities; while the body is simply the tenement in which we live, the house of the soul in the present life, while it is physical and mortal, but that of the spirit in the life to come, when this mortal shall have put on immortality, which transpires simultaneously with our evacuation of the body; unless we have the honor of the translation as Enoch, and Elijah, those notable souvenirs of the Edenic state, representing the world both Antediluvian and post-diluvian.
