How does this remind you of the Scholastic doctrine of the microcosm and the macrocosm? ( MEG 101 ) ( GEORGE HERBERT )

 The Scholastic doctrine of the microcosm and the macrocosm holds that the universe is a reflection of God and that the human being is a miniature version of the universe. The body of the individual is considered as the microcosm, and the universe is the macrocosm. In this sense, the body can be seen as a temple that houses the soul or the divine spark within.

Similarly, in Herbert's poems, the body is often referred to as a temple, and God is said to dwell within it. This suggests that the body is not just a physical entity but a sacred space that should be respected and revered. The idea of the body as a temple reflects the belief that the individual is a miniature reflection of God's creation, and therefore, the body should be treated with care and respect. Thus, the concept of the body as a temple can be seen as a reflection of the Scholastic doctrine of the microcosm and the macrocosm.
