power_n and_o capacity_n that_o if_o they_o serious_o reflect_v if_o they_o seek_v the_o lord_n with_o meditation_n and_o study_n they_o can_v fail_v of_o find_v and_o discover_v he_o whereby_o god_n

present_a discourse_n that_o the_o organical_a structure_n of_o humane_a body_n whereby_o they_o be_v fit_v to_o live_v and_o move_v and_o be_v vital_o inform_v by_o the_o soul_n be_v unquestionable_o the_o workmanship_n of_o a_o most_o wise_a and_o powerful_a and_o beneficent_a maker_n first_o it_o be_v allow_v and_o acknowledge_v by_o all_o party_n that_o the_o body_n of_o man_n and_o other_o animal_n be_v excellent_o well_o fit_v for_o life_n and_o motion_n and_o sensation_n and_o the_o several_a part_n of_o they_o well_o adapt_v and_o accommodate_v to_o their_o particular_a function_n the_o eye_n be_v very_o proper_a and_o meet_v for_o see_v the_o tongue_n for_o taste_v and_o speak_v the_o hand_n for_o hold_v and_o lift_v and_o ten_o thousand_o operation_n beside_o and_o so_o for_o the_o inward_a part_n the_o lung_n be_v suitable_a for_o respiration_n the_o stomach_n for_o concoction_n the_o lacteous_a vessel_n for_o the_o reception_n of_o the_o chyle_n the_o heart_n for_o the_o distribution_n of_o the_o blood_n to_o all_o the_o part_n of_o the_o body_n this_o be_v matter_n of_o fact_n and_o beyond_o all_o dispute_n and_o in_o effect_n be_v no_o more_o than_o to_o say_v that_o animal_n be_v animal_n for_o if_o they_o be_v deprive_v of_o these_o qualification_n they_o can_v not_o be_v so_o this_o therefore_o be_v not_o the_o matter_n in_o question_n between_o we_o and_o the_o atheist_n but_o the_o controversy_n be_v here_o we_o when_o we_o consider_v so_o many_o constituent_a part_n in_o the_o body_n of_o man_n all_o admirable_o compact_v into_o so_o noble_a a_o engine_n in_o each_o of_o the_o very_a finger_n for_o example_n there_o be_v bones_o and_o gristle_n and_o ligament_n and_o membrane_n and_o muscle_n and_o tendon_n and_o nerve_n and_o artery_n and_o vein_n and_o skin_n and_o cuticle_n and_o nail_n together_o with_o marrow_n and_o fat_a and_o blood_n and_o other_o nutritious_a juice_n and_o all_o those_o solid_a part_n of_o a_o determinate_a size_n and_o figure_n and_o texture_n and_o situation_n and_o each_o of_o they_o make_v up_o of_o myriad_o of_o little_a fibre_n and_o filament_n not_o discoverable_a by_o the_o naked_a eye_n i_o say_v when_o we_o consider_v how_o innumerable_a part_n must_v constitute_v so_o small_a a_o member_n as_o the_o finger_n we_o can_v look_v upon_o it_o or_o the_o whole_a body_n wherein_o appear_v so_o much_o fitness_n and_o use_v and_o subserviency_n to_o infinite_a function_n any_o otherwise_o than_o as_o the_o effect_n of_o contrivance_n and_o skill_n and_o consequent_o the_o workmanship_n of_o a_o most_o intelligent_a and_o beneficent_a be_v and_o though_o now_o the_o propagation_n of_o mankind_n be_v in_o a_o settle_a method_n of_o nature_n the_o instrument_n of_o god_n yet_o we_o affirm_v that_o its_o first_o production_n be_v by_o the_o immediate_a power_n of_o the_o almighty_a author_n of_o nature_n and_o that_o all_o succeed_a generation_n of_o man_n be_v the_o progeny_n of_o one_o primitive_a couple_n this_o be_v a_o religious_a man_n account_n of_o the_o frame_n and_o origination_n of_o himself_o now_o the_o atheist_n agree_v with_o we_o as_o to_o the_o fitness_n of_o man_n body_n and_o its_o several_a part_n to_o their_o various_a operation_n and_o function_n for_o that_o be_v visible_a and_o past_a all_o contradiction_n but_o they_o vehement_o impugn_v and_o horrible_o dread_v the_o thought_n that_o this_o usefulness_n of_o the_o part_n and_o the_o whole_a shall_v first_o arise_v from_o wisdom_n and_o design_n so_o that_o here_o will_v be_v the_o point_n in_o debate_n and_o the_o subject_n of_o our_o present_a undertake_n whether_o this_o acknowledge_a fitness_n of_o human_a body_n must_v be_v attribute_v as_o we_o say_v to_o a_o wise_a and_o good_a

master_n as_o be_v pretend_v by_o we_o that_o infinite_a wisdom_n and_o goodness_n and_o power_n will_v have_v bestow_v upon_o we_o more_o sense_n than_o five_o or_o at_o least_o these_o five_o in_o a_o much_o high_a perfection_n that_o we_o can_v never_o have_v come_v out_o of_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o almighty_a so_o subject_a to_o numerous_a disease_n so_o obnoxious_a to_o violent_a death_n and_o at_o best_a of_o such_o a_o short_a and_o transitory_a life_n they_o can_v no_o more_o ascribe_v so_o sorry_a a_o effect_n to_o a_o omniscient_a cause_n than_o some_o ordinary_a piece_n of_o

reply_v first_o as_o to_o the_o five_o sense_n it_o will_v be_v rash_a indeed_o to_o affirm_v that_o god_n though_o he_o have_v please_v can_v not_o have_v endue_v we_o with_o more_o but_o thus_o much_o we_o may_v aver_v that_o though_o the_o power_n of_o god_n be_v infinite_a and_o perfect_a yet_o the_o capacity_n of_o matter_n be_v within_o limit_n and_o bound_n why_o then_o do_v the_o atheist_n suspect_v that_o there_o may_v possible_o be_v any_o more_o way_n of_o sensation_n than_o what_o we_o have_v already_o have_v he_o a_o idea_n or_o notion_n or_o discovery_n of_o any_o more_o so_o far_o from_o that_o that_o he_o can_v make_v any_o addition_n or_o progress_n in_o those_o very_a sense_n he_o have_v further_o than_o they_o themselves_o have_v inform_v he_o he_o can_v imagine_v one_o new_a colour_n or_o taste_v or_o smell_v beside_o those_o that_o have_v actual_o fall_v under_o his_o respective_a sense_n much_o less_o can_v he_o that_o be_v destitute_a of_o a_o entire_a sense_n have_v any_o idea_n or_o representation_n of_o it_o as_o one_o that_o be_v bear_v deaf_a have_v no_o notion_n of_o sound_n or_o blind_a of_o colour_n and_o light_n if_o then_o the_o atheist_n can_v have_v no_o imagination_n of_o more_o sense_n than_o five_o why_o do_v he_o suppose_v that_o a_o body_n be_v capable_a of_o more_o if_o we_o have_v double_a or_o triple_a as_o many_o there_o may_v still_o be_v the_o same_o suspicion_n for_o a_o great_a number_n without_o end_n and_o therefore_o in_o both_o case_n it_o be_v equal_o unreasonable_a and_o groundless_a second_o we_o affirm_v that_o our_o sense_n have_v that_o degree_n of_o perfection_n which_o be_v most_o fit_a and_o suitable_a to_o our_o estate_n and_o condition_n if_o the_o eye_n be_v so_o pierce_v as_o to_o

aloft_o when_o we_o have_v a_o mind_n to_o take_v a_o prospect_n and_o if_o mankind_n have_v have_v wing_n as_o perhaps_o some_o extravagant_a atheist_n may_v think_v we_o deficient_a in_o that_o all_o the_o world_n must_v have_v consent_v to_o clip_v they_o or_o else_o human_a race_n have_v be_v extinct_a before_o this_o time_n nothing_o upon_o that_o supposition_n be_v safe_a from_o murder_n and_o rapine_n or_o if_o the_o eye_n be_v so_o acute_a as_o to_o rival_n the_o fine_a microscope_n and_o to_o discern_v the_o small_a hair_n upon_o the_o
