be_v it_o with_o we_o when_o we_o admire_v ourselves_o for_o our_o art_n and_o invention_n which_o at_o the_o best_a be_v but_o support_v to_o our_o infirmity_n despise_v innocent_a life_n wherever_o we_o hear_v of_o it_o with_o the_o title_n of_o barbarism_n insomuch_o that_o i_o have_v often_o think_v with_o myself_o that_o have_v we_o now_o a_o vision_n of_o the_o garden_n of_o eden_n and_o

husbandry_n but_o to_o cure_v ourselves_o of_o this_o pride_n of_o spirit_n i_o know_v no_o better_o a_o example_n than_o the_o history_n of_o the_o reabite_n jer._n chap._n 35._o who_o be_v son_n

the_o chapter_n jonadab_n shall_v not_o want_v a_o man_n to_o stand_v before_o i_o for_o ever_o neither_o be_v this_o all_o the_o evil_a consequence_n that_o have_v follow_v for_o the_o alter_n and_o deject_v the_o mind_n and_o soul_n of_o man_n from_o its_o first_o estate_n for_o if_o we_o take_v tillage_n in_o its_o large_a sense_n for_o what_o ever_o be_v a_o unnatural_a and_o force_a use_n of_o the_o earth_n we_o may_v then_o involve_v almost_o all_o the_o nutriment_n to_o which_o now_o the_o body_n of_o man_n be_v habituate_v and_o not_o only_o its_o nutriment_n but_o its_o luxury_n and_o have_v change_v the_o fruit_n of_o the_o earth_n i_o can_v doubt_v but_o we_o have_v therein_o also_o change_v our_o own_o body_n and_o consequent_o make_v a_o new_a digestion_n we_o have_v now_o no_o long_o our_o first_o natural_a thought_n and_o speculation_n i_o think_v it_o therefore_o no_o wonder_n that_o in_o stead_n of_o a_o natural_a way_n of_o argue_v and_o conclude_v man_n shall_v take_v the_o rule_n of_o their_o life_n from_o fanatic_a thought_n i_o wonder_v not_o at_o all_o how_o i_o have_v get_v the_o notion_n of_o a_o spirit_n a_o thing_n that_o be_v nothing_o that_o have_v place_n and_o no_o dimension_n that_o be_v obvious_a to_o my_o sense_n and_o yet_o be_v insensible_a i_o wonder_v not_o that_o my_o faith_n be_v my_o great_a certainty_n and_o that_o the_o price_n upon_o which_o my_o soul_n depend_v be_v as_o the_o apostle_n say_v the_o evidence_n of_o thing_n unseen_a though_o all_o this_o be_v against_o sense_n for_o all_o this_o i_o will_v allow_v the_o habit_n of_o my_o new_a education_n may_v have_v now_o make_v to_o be_v my_o nature_n and_o constitution_n nor_o do_v i_o for_o this_o pay_v a_o less_o reverence_n and_o respect_n to_o the_o truth_n of_o what_o i_o now_o be_o bind_v to_o believe_v that_o i_o come_v thus_o to_o think_v of_o they_o for_o the_o truth_n itself_o of_o these_o thing_n do_v but_o begin_v with_o the_o change_n of_o human_a nature_n in_o paradise_n for_o the_o truth_n of_o our_o immortality_n after_o death_n can_v not_o commence_v before_o we_o know_v we_o shall_v die_v and_o therefore_o not_o unapt_o in_o my_o opinion_n have_v some_o of_o the_o best_a philosopher_n think_v it_o demonstration_n enough_o for_o supernatural_a thing_n that_o we_o be_v able_a to_o think_v of_o they_o it_o be_v

be_v urge_v here_o be_v every_o thing_n so_o because_o i_o think_v it_o so_o my_o conception_n then_o can_v give_v reality_n to_o any_o thing_n that_o have_v no_o be_v i_o answer_v to_o that_o with_o another_o question_n do_v i_o believe_v what_o i_o think_v i_o believe_v if_o i_o do_v i_o doubt_v not_o of_o the_o truth_n of_o it_o for_o i_o question_v not_o to_o be_v able_a to_o remove_v mountain_n when_o i_o have_v faith_n enough_o to_o believe_v i_o can_v but_o the_o difference_n in_o matter_n of_o faith_n as_o i_o suppose_v lie_v in_o that_o it_o be_v one_o thing_n to_o believe_v a_o thing_n and_o another_o only_o to_o believe_v that_o we_o believe_v it_o and_o a_o three_o only_o to_o say_v we_o believe_v it_o for_o private_a cause_n or_o interest_n best_o know_v to_o ourselves_o and_o for_o the_o nature_n of_o human_a faith_n we_o have_v no_o one_o more_o pregnant_a example_n then_o of_o the_o father_n in_o the_o gospel_n who_o see_v a_o miracle_n do_v by_o our_o

now_o to_o return_v from_o this_o little_a digression_n with_o a_o explanation_n of_o myself_o in_o these_o argument_n that_o go_v before_o and_o seek_v to_o prove_v that_o from_o natural_a cause_n
