I would gladly know how Moses Exod. ^th an actual fire calcined or burnt the golden calf unto powder : for that mystical metal of gold, whose solary and celestial nature I admire, exposed unto the violence of fire, grows only hot and liquefies, but consumeth * not ; so when the consumable and volatile pieces of our bodies shall be refined into a more impregnable and fixed temper, like gold, though they suffer from the actions of flames, they shall never perish, but lie immortal in the arms of f...ire. And surely, if this firame must suffer only by the action of this element, there will many bodies escape; and not only heaven but earth will not be at an end, but rather a beginning. For * Moses is not said to have consumed it, but to have ground it to powder. xzxtt.20.
