Excerpt from The Works of Aristotle, the Famous Philosopher: Containing, His Complete Masterpiece, Displaying the Secrets of Nature in the Generation of Man; To Which Is Added, the Family Physician, Being Approved Remedies for the Various Distempers Incident to the Human Body

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 little world, to whom all things are subordinate; agreeing in genius with sensitive things, all being animals, but different in the species: for man alone is endowed with reason; and therefore the Deity, at man's creation, (as the inspired penman tells us,) said, "Let us make man in our own image, after our own likeness." As if the Lord had said Let us make man in our image, 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 the Lord doth plant the reasonable powers of the soul, will, and memory; and by likeness, the qualities of the mind, charity, justice, 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."
