She must some former stuff or matter take;

But in the Soul, there is no matter found.

Then if her heavenly Form do not agree,

With any matter which the world contains;

Then She of nothing must created be,

And to Create, to GOD alone, pertains!

Again, if Souls do other Souls beget,

'Tis by themselves, or by the Body's power!

If by themselves! what doth their working let,

But they might Souls engender every hour?
