The Great Didactic of John Amos Comenius - Translated into English by M. W. Keatinge, M.A.1967
Our nature shows that this life is not sufficient for us. For here we live a threefold life, the animal, the intellectual and the spiritual. Of these the action of the first is confined to the body and can extend itself to objects by the operation of the senses and of movement, whilst the third is able to exist separately as is evident in the case of angels.
So that, as it is evident that this, the last stage of life is greatly over shadowed and hindered by the former, it follows of necessity that there will be a future state in which it may be brought to perfection.
