The Heavenly Man abounded with the divine Spirit, God gave not " the Spirit by measure unto him," (to use the Pauline expression, which contains in all probability an allusion to Philo); but the Earthy Man, created with a mortal body, had only a faint breath of the immortalizing* and vivifying Spirit, the addition of which constituted him a living soul.
