Or A book shewing what the soule is, subsisting and having its operations without the body; its more then a perfection or reflection of the sense, or temperature of humours; not traduced from the parents subsisting by it self without the body: how she exercises her powers in the body the vegetative or quickning power of the senses. Of the imagination or common sense, ... Of the wit, understanding, reason, ... Of the intellectuall memory, ... Thomas Jenner has lineas composuit.
