_Lower man._ The lower man is our enquickned body, into which our soul
comes, it being fitly prepared for the receiving of such a guest. The
manner of the production of souls, or rather their non-production is
admirably well set down in Plotinus, See, _Ennead. 6. lib. 4. cap. 14,
15_.
M
_Monad._ See Interpr. Gen.
_Mundane._ _Mundane spirit_, Is that which is the spirit of the world or
Universe. I mean by it not an intellectuall spirit, but a fine, unfixt,
attenuate, subtill, ethereall substance, the immediate vehicle of
plasticall or sensitive life.
_Memory._ _Mundane memory._ Is that memory that is seated in the
_Mundane_ spirit of man, by a strong impression, or inustion of any
phantasme, or outward sensible object, upon that spirit. But there is a
Memory more subtill and abstract in the soul it self, without the help
of this spirit, which she also carries away with her having left the
body.
_Magicall._ That is, attractive, or commanding by force of sympathy with
the life of this naturall world.
_Moment._ Sometimes signifies an instant, as indivisible, as κίνημα,
which in motion answers to an instant in time, or a point in a line,
_Aristot. Phys._ In this sense I use it, Psychathan. lib. 3. cant. 2.
stanz. 16; _But in a moment sol doth ray._ But Cant. the 3. Stanz. 45.
v. 2. I understand, as also doth Lansbergius, by a _moment_ one second
of a minute. In Antipsych. Cant. 2. Stanz. the 20. v. 2. by a _moment_ I
understand a minute, or indefinitely any small time.
O
_Orb._ _Orb Intellectuall_, is nothing else but Æon or the Intellectuall
world. The Orbs generall mentioned Psycathan. lib. 1. cant. 3. stanz.
23. v. 2. I understand by them but so many universall orders of beings,
if I may so terme them all; for _Hyle_ hath little or nothing of being.
_Omniformity._ The omniformity of the soul is the having in her nature
all forms, latent at least, and power of awaking them into act, upon
occasion.
_Out-world._ and _Out-Heaven._ The sensible world, the visible Heaven.

_Parturient._ See, _Vaticinant_.
_Phantasie._ _Lower phantasie_, is that which resides in the Mundane
spirit of a man, See _Memory_.
