that_o it_o be_v so_o we_o be_v to_o consider_v what_o human_a reason_n and_o the_o office_n of_o it_o proper_o be_v and_o so_o for_o the_o human_a will_n and_o the_o proper_a act_n and_o function_n of_o that_o now_o they_o be_v both_o of_o they_o intellectual_a faculty_n and_o thereby_o distinguish_v from_o and_o superior_a to_o all_o act_n of_o sensation_n whether_o external_n or_o internal_a and_o all_o act_n of_o desire_n and_o appetition_n proceed_v from_o the_o sensitive_a appetite_n and_o as_o they_o be_v superior_a to_o they_o so_o it_o be_v the_o proper_a office_n of_o reason_n to_o

be_v superfluous_a again_o i_o will_v know_v whether_o these_o two_o reason_n be_v subordinate_a so_o that_o one_o be_v subject_a to_o and_o govern_v by_o the_o other_o or_o coordinate_a and_o equal_a

act_v of_o reason_n the_o superior_a can_v and_o may_v dictate_v all_o that_o the_o inferior_a can_v suggest_v immediate_o by_o itself_o and_o without_o the_o subordinate_a operation_n of_o the_o

and_o two_o coordinate_a will_n neither_o of_o they_o subject_n to_o or_o govern_v by_o the_o other_o then_o in_o the_o direction_n and_o disposal_n of_o man_n action_n they_o either_o suggest_v the_o

therefore_o as_o to_o that_o objection_n of_o a_o carnal_a sensual_a will_n and_o reason_n i_o answer_v that_o reason_n be_v call_v sensual_a when_o it_o direct_v and_o prescribe_v according_a to_o the_o exorbitant_a inclination_n and_o desire_n of_o the_o sensitive_a part_n and_o the_o will_n be_v call_v so_o likewise_o when_o it_o do_v not_o interpose_v its_o sway_n and_o authority_n but_o suffer_v the_o sensitive_a appetite_n to_o take_v their_o own_o course_n without_o control_n so_o that_o this_o term_n sensual_a or_o carnal_a apply_v either_o to_o reason_n or_o will_v do_v not_o import_n or_o infer_v another_o reason_n or_o another_o will_n but_o the_o same_o reason_n and_o will_n under_o different_a and_o sometime_o contrary_a qualification_n and_o otherwise_o act_v and_o behave_v themselves_o than_o according_a to_o their_o natural_a prerogative_n and_o office_n in_o the_o soul_n they_o ought_v to_o do_v it_o be_v indeed_o a_o division_n subjecti_fw-la in_o
