but_o yet_o that_o one_o of_o they_o be_v furnish_v by_o nature_n the_o defect_n of_o the_o other_o may_v be_v supply_v by_o art_n and_o have_v remark_v that_o that_o be_v not_o reciprocal_a i_o declare_v as_o far_o as_o i_o may_v in_o a_o discourse_n where_o i_o be_o to_o explain_v but_o the_o principle_n whence_o those_o defect_n proceed_v and_o by_o what_o they_o may_v be_v correct_v and_o i_o do_v even_o examine_v without_o step_v into_o the_o ethic_n why_o a_o orator_n ought_v to_o be_v a_o good_a man_n and_o how_o much_o lie_v may_v impair_v the_o force_n or_o the_o grace_n of_o his_o action_n 7._o last_o have_v consider_v sufficient_o how_o much_o eloquence_n depend_v from_o the_o temperament_n and_o how_o it_o may_v be_v correct_v or_o perfect_v by_o exercise_n i_o examine_v whether_o it_o be_v to_o be_v meet_v with_o among_o spirit_n not_o unite_v to_o body_n which_o oblige_v i_o to_o inquire_v into_o the_o manner_n after_o which_o they_o may_v manifest_v their_o thought_n to_o one_o another_o and_o it_o make_v i_o discover_v that_o even_o our_o spirit_n will_v enjoy_v a_o more_o easy_a communication_n among_o themselves_o if_o the_o strict_a union_n they_o have_v with_o the_o body_n do_v not_o indispensable_o oblige_v they_o to_o make_v use_n of_o sign_n the_o same_o raciocination_n teach_v i_o also_o that_o the_o difficulty_n we_o meet_v with_o in_o entertainment_n be_v not_o to_o conceive_v the_o thought_n of_o those_o that_o speak_v to_o we_o but_o to_o unwrap_v it_o from_o the_o sign_n they_o use_v to_o express_v it_o in_o which_o often_o do_v not_o suit_n with_o it_o whence_o i_o conclude_v that_o the_o thought_n of_o one_o spirit_n be_v always_o clear_a to_o another_o from_o the_o very_a instant_n he_o can_v perceive_v it_o and_o this_o truth_n which_o i_o discuss_v as_o far_o as_o i_o be_o capable_a serve_v i_o to_o resolve_v those_o difficulty_n which_o other_o have_v think_v unsurmountable_a but_o by_o submission_n to_o faith_n i_o well_o know_v it_o be_v faith_n that_o must_v teach_v we_o whether_o sundry_a thing_n have_v a_o be_v indeed_o but_o there_o be_v not_o always_o need_v of_o its_o aid_n to_o conceive_v they_o it_o belong_v to_o it_o for_o example_n to_o tell_v we_o whether_o there_o be_v other_o spirit_n more_o enlighten_v that_o serve_v to_o direct_v we_o but_o when_o once_o it_o have_v declare_v to_o we_o that_o truth_n i_o think_v our_o reason_n can_v attain_v to_o it_o and_o i_o esteem_v that_o reflect_v a_o little_a on_o what_o the_o thread_n of_o my_o subject_n have_v oblige_v i_o to_o write_v of_o it_o in_o this_o tract_n we_o shall_v find_v it_o more_o easy_a to_o conceive_v how_o pure_a spirit_n can_v inspire_v we_o with_o their_o sentiment_n than_o to_o conceive_v how_o one_o man_n can_v inspire_v his_o thought_n to_o another_o i_o may_v have_v proceed_v further_o in_o this_o inquiry_n but_o have_v propose_v to_o myself_o only_o to_o examine_v what_o serve_v to_o speech_n i_o think_v i_o be_v to_o make_v a_o end_n after_o i_o have_v consider_v the_o sundry_a way_n by_o which_o thought_n may_v be_v communicate_v see_v that_o that_o be_v proper_o what_o we_o call_v to_o speak_v i_o can_v wish_v that_o the_o discourse_n i_o have_v make_v of_o it_o may_v prove_v as_o pleasant_a to_o other_o as_o the_o reflection_n it_o have_v oblige_v i_o to_o make_v have_v be_v to_o i_o i_o avow_v they_o have_v be_v all_o the_o divertisement_n i_o have_v enjoy_v during_o the_o last_o vacation_n and_o as_o it_o be_v at_o least_o in_o that_o time_n permit_v to_o comply_v with_o our_o inclination_n the_o pleasure_n i_o have_v find_v in_o it_o solicit_v i_o strong_o to_o spend_v in_o the_o same_o manner_n all_o the_o other_o hour_n wherein_o i_o may_v be_v permit_v to_o divert_v myself_o to_o conclude_v this_o argument_n be_v so_o pleasant_a and_o so_o fertile_a that_o one_o need_v but_o to_o propose_v it_o and_o it_o will_v beget_v a_o thousand_o please_a thought_n and_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o all_o those_o that_o excel_v i_o in_o genius_n will_v find_v by_o occasion_n of_o this_o discourse_n a_o thousand_o pretty_a thing_n which_o i_o have_v omit_v so_o that_o without_o boast_v of_o my_o book_n i_o may_v affirm_v that_o the_o more_o wit_n a_o man_n have_v the_o more_o pleasure_n he_o will_v find_v to_o read_v it_o a_o discourse_n of_o speech_n among_o the_o body_n i_o see_v in_o the_o world_n i_o perceive_v some_o that_o be_v in_o all_o thing_n like_o i_o and_o i_o confess_v i_o have_v a_o great_a inclination_n to_o believe_v that_o they_o be_v unite_v to_o soul_n as_o i_o be_v but_o when_o i_o come_v to_o consider_v that_o my_o body_n have_v so_o many_o operation_n distinct_a from_o those_o of_o my_o soul_n and_o that_o nothing_o of_o what_o make_v it_o subsist_v depend_v at_o all_o from_o she_o i_o think_v i_o have_v at_o least_o ground_n to_o doubt_n that_o those_o body_n be_v unite_v to_o soul_n until_o i_o have_v examine_v all_o their_o action_n and_o i_o do_v even_o see_v that_o by_o the_o maxim_n of_o good_a sense_n i_o shall_v be_v oblige_v to_o believe_v that_o they_o have_v no_o soul_n if_o they_o do_v only_o such_o thing_n whereof_o i_o have_v find_v in_o myself_o that_o the_o body_n alone_o may_v be_v the_o cause_n thus_o if_o i_o see_v that_o the_o object_n make_v different_a impression_n on_o they_o by_o the_o eye_n ear_n nose_n or_o touch_n and_o if_o i_o see_v they_o eat_v sleep_n wake_v feed_v breath_n walk_v and_o die_v nothing_o of_o all_o that_o aught_o to_o make_v i_o believe_v that_o there_o be_v any_o other_o thing_n in_o they_o but_o a_o certain_a disposition_n of_o organ_n and_o part_n which_o indeed_o be_v admirable_a but_o yet_o so_o dependent_a from_o the_o course_n and_o order_n of_o the_o other_o matter_n that_o i_o have_v acknowledge_v that_o to_o be_v the_o only_a cause_n in_o i_o of_o nutrition_n sleep_n respiration_n and_o of_o the_o power_n which_o object_n have_v to_o move_v the_o brain_n so_o many_o surprise_a way_n it_o be_v true_a i_o have_v observe_v that_o cer●●in_a thought_n always_o accompany_v in_o i_o most_o of_o the_o motion_n of_o my_o organ_n but_o yet_o it_o be_v true_a also_o that_o by_o the_o exact_a preciseness_n with_o which_o i_o have_v distinguish_v what_o be_v in_o all_o my_o operation_n on_o the_o account_n of_o the_o body_n and_o what_o on_o the_o score_n of_o the_o soul_n i_o have_v find_v manifest_o that_o if_o i_o have_v nothing_o but_o the_o body_n i_o may_v have_v all_o what_o appear_v to_o i_o in_o the_o other_o body_n which_o resemble_v i_o it_o behoove_v i_o therefore_o to_o observe_v those_o body_n near_o and_o to_o examine_v whether_o i_o may_v not_o perceive_v by_o any_o of_o their_o action_n that_o they_o be_v rule_v by_o soul_n i_o see_v that_o ordinary_o they_o be_v carry_v to_o place_n where_o the_o air_n seem_v most_o proper_a to_o entertain_v by_o respiration_n a_o due_a temper_n in_o the_o blood_n i_o see_v that_o they_o withdraw_v likewise_o from_o place_n where_o the_o cold_a might_n too_o much_o retard_v the_o motion_n and_o from_o those_o where_o the_o heat_n may_v render_v it_o too_o quick_a i_o see_v that_o they_o often_o fly_v with_o vehemence_n from_o the_o encounter_n of_o many_o other_o body_n that_o appear_v to_o i_o of_o a_o shape_n and_o motion_n capable_a to_o destroy_v they_o and_o i_o see_v also_o that_o they_o approach_v those_o which_o may_v be_v beneficial_a to_o they_o and_o all_o these_o action_n appear_v to_o i_o to_o be_v do_v with_o a_o discern_a such_o as_o i_o find_v in_o i_o when_o i_o do_v the_o same_o action_n mean_a time_n when_o i_o reflect_v that_o i_o have_v find_v by_o other_o contemplation_n that_o the_o sole_a disposition_n of_o the_o organ_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o all_o those_o operation_n in_o i_o i_o fear_v i_o affirm_v too_o much_o if_o i_o attribute_v the_o different_a motion_n of_o the_o body_n that_o surround_v i_o to_o another_o cause_n than_o to_o the_o agreement_n there_o be_v between_o their_o brain_n and_o the_o object_n and_o then_o as_o long_o as_o i_o do_v not_o see_v they_o do_v but_o what_o be_v for_o their_o good_a as_o to_o eat_v to_o drink_v to_o seek_v after_o coolness_n or_o warmth_n and_o whatever_o may_v maintain_v they_o in_o a_o state_n suitable_a to_o their_o nature_n i_o be_o not_o to_o believe_v there_o be_v any_o other_o thing_n in_o they_o but_o the_o organ_n which_o may_v suffice_v for_o that_o but_o methinks_v i_o see_v they_o often_o do_v thing_n that_o relate_v not_o at_o all_o to_o themselves_o nor_o their_o preservation_n i_o see_v some_o of_o they_o that_o meet_v with_o other_o body_n the_o encounter_n whereof_o must_v in_o all_o appearance_n

mean_n of_o know_v other_o and_o that_o be_v speech_n i_o explain_v as_o far_o as_o i_o be_o able_a what_o it_o be_v and_o poursuant_n to_o my_o first_fw-mi dessein_fw-fr i_o endeavour_v in_o this_o discourse_n exact_o to_o distinguish_v what_o it_o borrow_v of_o the_o soul_n from_o what_o it_o hold_v of_o the_o body_n i._o to_o begin_v this_o inquiry_n with_o the_o more_o certainty_n i_o do_v not_o reason_n but_o upon_o what_o i_o have_v find_v within_o myself_o in_o the_o six_o discourse_n of_o the_o late_o mention_v book_n and_o as_o if_o i_o have_v never_o yet_o be_v assure_v there_o be_v other_o man_n beside_o myself_o i_o stay_v in_o the_o very_a beginning_n upon_o this_o consideration_n viz._n whether_o it_o be_v necessary_a that_o all_o the_o body_n which_o i_o see_v to_o be_v like_o i_o be_v unite_v to_o soul_n like_o i_o resolve_v with_o myself_o not_o to_o believe_v it_o unless_o i_o have_v such_o evident_a sign_n thereof_o that_o i_o may_v doubt_v no_o more_o of_o it_o i_o examine_v what_o those_o body_n do_v that_o be_v most_o surprise_a and_o as_o long_o as_o i_o can_v rational_o impute_v the_o cause_n thereof_o to_o the_o disposition_n of_o their_o organ_n i_o think_v i_o may_v safe_o affirm_v they_o have_v no_o soul_n but_o after_o have_v find_v in_o the_o sole_a disposition_n of_o the_o part_n of_o those_o body_n that_o thence_o i_o can_v render_v a_o reason_n of_o noise_n the_o sounds_z the_o difference_n of_o the_o voice_n and_o the_o very_a word_n utter_v by_o echo_n and_o parrot_n i_o be_o at_o length_n oblige_v to_o admit_v soul_n in_o all_o the_o body_n that_o resemble_v i_o and_o to_o acknowledge_v it_o not_o possible_a for_o they_o to_o speak_v to_o such_o purpose_n as_o they_o do_v without_o be_v endow_v with_o reason_n 2._o next_o have_v find_v that_o to_o speak_v be_v in_o general_a nothing_o else_o but_o to_o give_v sign_n of_o our_o thought_n i_o observe_v some_o of_o those_o sign_n the_o first_o i_o consider_v be_v the_o motion_n of_o the_o eye_n or_o face_n and_o such_o cry_n as_o ordinary_o accompany_v the_o differ_a state_n of_o the_o body_n and_o i_o take_v notice_n that_o they_o be_v natural_o conjoin_v with_o the_o passion_n of_o which_o the_o soul_n be_v sensible_a on_o the_o occasion_n of_o change_n in_o the_o body_n and_o that_o the_o best_a way_n we_o have_v to_o manifest_v what_o she_o suffer_v be_v not_o to_o strain_v the_o face_n eye_n or_o voice_n i_o note_v likewise_o that_o this_o way_n of_o explicate_v ourselves_o be_v the_o first_o of_o tongue_n and_o the_o most_o universal_a there_o be_v no_o nation_n but_o understand_v it_o but_o i_o observe_v at_o the_o same_o time_n that_o the_o wickedness_n of_o man_n have_v make_v that_o the_o most_o deceitful_a of_o all_o beside_o those_o natural_a sign_n of_o the_o passion_n of_o the_o soul_n i_o discover_v other_o which_o be_v but_o institute_v once_o by_o which_o she_o can_v express_v what_o ever_o she_o conceive_v i_o show_v brief_o the_o agreement_n and_o the_o difference_n of_o some_o of_o those_o sign_n to_o make_v all_o to_o be_v understand_v what_o i_o intend_v to_o deduce_v from_o thence_o in_o this_o place_n and_o reserve_v to_o myself_o to_o discourse_v of_o it_o more_o strict_o and_o more_o to_o my_o purpose_n thereafter_o i_o stay_v to_o consider_v how_o one_o may_v invent_v a_o language_n how_o a_o man_n may_v learn_v the_o tongue_n of_o a_o country_n where_o no_o body_n understand_v he_o and_o last_o how_o child_n learn_v to_o speak_v i_o admire_v how_o their_o reason_n be_v put_v to_o it_o in_o

i_o surprise_v forasmuch_o as_o it_o be_v altogether_o like_a that_o of_o the_o grammar_n so_o that_o see_v how_o much_o this_o art_n imitate_v nature_n i_o find_v no_o difficulty_n to_o make_v it_o

on_o the_o score_n of_o the_o body_n i_o consider_v therefore_o in_o he_o that_o speak_v the_o manner_n how_o the_o air_n enter_v into_o the_o lung_n why_o it_o make_v a_o sound_n in_o issue_v out_o

brute_n need_v no_o soul_n to_o cry_v or_o to_o be_v move_v by_o voice_n or_o even_o to_o imitate_v the_o sound_n of_o our_o word_n and_o that_o if_o the_o cry_n of_o those_o that_o be_v of_o the_o
