To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Then, in a subsequent part of the poem, he at- tempts a description of the relation. But there seems to be no effort to really explain the ultimate nature of this relation, which is the problem that most concerns the philosophic mind. With reference to the object or purpose of the union of body and mind, Davics says, first, that the soul is joined to the body for the purpose of becoming a microcosm. Partaking, as it does, of the nature of God, and also, in its union with the body, of the world,... it bears the image of all that is. God first created angels as pure spirits. He then created bodies or material things without spirits. He then created man — " th' horizon 'twixt both kinds, In whom we doe the World's abridgement see. " Jiist what the purpose or " final cause " of such a microcosm, as a microcosm, is, Davics fails to reveal. The Relation of Soul and Body 14J Another reason why the soul was united to the body is to be found in the supposed fact, that the world needed a being who could distinguish all of its parts — making use of them, and taking de- light in them.
