Ezekiel37:9
Ver. 9. And ſay to the wind] To the reaſonable ſoul, that breath of God, Gen. 2.7. divinae particula aurae, as one calleth it. In this better part of man, he is not abſolutely perfect, till after the reſurrection: for though the ſoul do in heaven enjoy an eſtate free from ſin, pain or miſery, yet two of the faculties or operations of the ſoul (viz. that of Vegetation and of ſenſe) are without exerciſe, till it be reunited to the body. Here we have a repreſentation at leaſt of the Reſurrection: which the Hebrews call Gilgul, the Revolution.
Come from the foure winds, O breath] i. e. From God that gave you, return again at his command, to your own numerical bodies, wherever they lye. And to this text our Saviour ſeemeth to allude, Mat. 24.31.
