Rh The spirit of man after the separation, remains a little while in the body, but not after the motion of the heart has entirely ceased. This takes place sooner or later according to the nature of the disease of which the man dies; for in some cases the motion of the heart continues a long time, while in others it quickly ceases. As soon as this motion ceases, the man is resuscitated; but this is done by the Lord alone. (H. H. 445-447.)
