In the Clementine
Homily xvi. 16, the soul having come forth from God, clothed with His
breath, is said to be of the same substance, and yet not God. In
Tertull. c. Marcion II. c. 9, the soul is the
affatus (πνοή not πνεῦμα) of God, i.e. the
image of the Spirit, and inferior to it, though possessing the true
lineaments of divinity, immortality, freedom, its own mastery over
itself.
