19 Death, though a mystery, did not repel, it invited, inquiry ; the nature of death could be comprehended only by that of Ufa " What is God ?" is a question which no primitive man would ask. " What am I ?" is one which must ever have been present to his thoughts. Suppose, now, that the answer made had been by a division of the soul into diflferent natures, and these threefold, would we not have, as r^ards himian life, three in one and one in three ? If so answered in respect to the life of man..., the idea of a Trinity of Spirit was established in his mind, and might thereafter be applied to other spiritual existences, and even to the Divine Nature itself This is no hypothesis; we have this very division of Life a fundamental dogma amongst those populations to whom I have repeatedly referred as preserving the earliest records of religious thoughts and ceremonies. The Khonds say that life is composed of three souls, one of which is animal, one intellectual, and one Divine ; that the first, when the body dies, dies with it ; that the second after death is punished, or recom- pensed, according to the body's deeds; and that the third returns to and is absorbed in the Deity, from which it had originally emanated.* An ampler conception of life and existence has not been attained to by all subsequent metaphysics ; extending immor- tality backwards, and separating the taint of earth fix)m the breath of Heaven ; and in it we may recogmse conjoined the elements of the several dogmas, on which are baaed the various structures of philosophy, belief, and superstition.t ♦ Macpherson's ** Religion of the Khonds." Li/dus de mensibus, indicates this threefold life : the Urst, the Spark of Life ; the Second, Divine Breath ; the Third, Holy Love.
