The Works of Aristotle, the Famous Philosopher Containing, His Complete Masterpiece, Displaying the Secrets of Nature in the Generation of Man (Classic Reprint)

If one of the meanest capacity were asked, What was the wonder of the world? I think the most proper answer would be, man; he being the httle world, to whom all things are subordinate; agreeing in genius with sensitive things, all beinor animals, but different in the species :for man alone is endowed with reason; and therefore theD eity, at mans creation, (as the inspired penman tells us,) said, Let us make man in our own imagp, after our own likeness. As if theL oR i had said Let us make man in our imaoe, that he as a creature, may be like us: and the same in his likeness, that he may be after our image. Some of the fathers do distinguish, as if by the image theL ord doth plant the reasonable powers of the soul, will, and memory ;and by likeness, the qualities of the mind, charity, juS ice, memory, ;c. But Moses confounded this distinction, if you compare these texts of Scripture, Gen. i. 7, and v. 1, Colos. X. Eph. V. 14. And the apostle, where he saith, He was created, after the image of God, in knowledge, and the same in righteousness.
