On God's
creation
|
|
|
"Whereas
God created three sorts of living natures, to wit,
|
|
|
angelical,
rational, and brutal, giving to angels an intellectual
|
|
|
and
to beasts a sensual nature, he vouchsafed unto Man both
|
|
|
the
intellectual of angels, the sensitive of beasts, and the
|
|
|
proper
rational belonging unto man; and because in the little
|
|
|
frame
of man's body there is a representation of the universal. . .
|
|
therefore
was man called Microcosmos, or Little World."
|

Melancholie, 1586.)
