out_o but_o the_o order_n i_o observe_v herein_o be_v this_o first_o i_o endeavour_v to_o find_v in_o general_a the_o principle_n or_o first_o cause_n of_o whatsoever_o be_v or_o may_v be_v in_o the_o world_n without_o consider_v any_o thing_n for_o this_o end_n but_o god_n alone_o who_o create_v it_o or_o draw_v they_o elsewhere_o then_o from_o certain_a seed_n of_o truth_n which_o natural_o be_v in_o our_o soul_n after_o this_o i_o examine_v what_o be_v the_o first_o and_o most_o ordinary_a effect_n which_o may_v be_v deduce_v from_o these_o cause_n and_o methinks_v that_o thereby_o i_o

on_o the_o earth_n from_o a_o infinite_a number_n of_o other_o which_o may_v be_v there_o have_v it_o be_v the_o will_n of_o god_n so_o to_o place_v they_o nor_o by_o consequence_n to_o apply_v they_o to_o our_o use_n unless_o we_o set_v the_o effect_n before_o the_o cause_n and_o make_v use_n of_o divers_a particular_a experiment_n in_o relation_n to_o which_o revolve_v in_o my_o mind_n all_o those_o object_n which_o ever_o be_v present_v to_o my_o sense_n i_o dare_v bold_o say_v i_o observe_v nothing_o which_o i_o can_v not_o fit_o enough_o explain_v by_o the_o principle_n i_o have_v

their_o event_n may_v not_o be_v the_o same_o if_o it_o be_v in_o one_o of_o those_o way_n which_o be_v to_o be_v express_v as_o if_o it_o be_v in_o another_o in_o fine_a i_o be_o get_v so_o far_o that_o methinks_v i_o see_v well_o enough_o what_o course_n we_o ought_v to_o hold_v to_o make_v the_o most_o part_n of_o those_o experiment_n which_o may_v tend_v to_o this_o effect_n but_o i_o also_o see_v they_o be_v such_o and_o of_o so_o great_a a_o number_n that_o neither_o my_o hand_n nor_o my_o estate_n though_o i_o have_v a_o thousand_o time_n more_o than_o i_o have_v can_v ever_o

receive_v thereby_o that_o i_o shall_v oblige_v all_o those_o in_o general_a who_o desire_v the_o good_a of_o mankind_n that_o be_v to_o say_v all_o those_o who_o be_v indeed_o virtuous_a and_o not_o so_o seem_o or_o by_o opinion_n only_o aswell_o to_o communicate_v such_o experiment_n as_o they_o have_v already_o make_v as_o to_o help_v i_o in_o the_o enquiry_n of_o those_o which_o be_v to_o be_v

have_v so_o much_o the_o more_o occasion_n thorough_o to_o examine_v they_o as_o without_o doubt_n we_o always_o look_v more_o narrow_o to_o what_o we_o offer_v to_o the_o public_a view_n then_o to_o what_o we_o compose_v only_o for_o our_o own_o use_n and_o oftentimes_o the_o same_o thing_n which_o seem_v true_a to_o i_o when_o i_o first_o conceive_v they_o appear_v afterwards_o false_a to_o i_o when_o i_o be_v commit_v they_o to_o paper_n as_o also_o that_o i_o may_v lose_v no_o occasion_n of_o benefit_v the_o public_a if_o i_o be_v able_a and_o that_o if_o my_o writing_n be_v of_o any_o

that_o they_o shall_v be_v publish_v during_o my_o life_n that_o neither_o the_o opposition_n and_o controversy_n whereto_o perhaps_o they_o may_v be_v obnoxious_a nor_o even_o the_o reputation_n
because_o that_o next_o the_o star_n i_o know_v nothing_o in_o the_o world_n but_o fire_n which_o produce_v light_a i_o study_v to_o make_v all_o clear_o understand_v which_o belong_v to_o its_o

to_o i_o to_o be_v as_o admirable_a as_o any_o other_o operation_n in_o nature_n i_o particular_o take_v pleasure_n to_o describe_v it_o yet_o will_v i_o not_o infer_v from_o all_o these_o thing_n that_o this_o world_n be_v create_v after_o the_o manner_n i_o have_v propose_v for_o it_o be_v more_o probable_a that_o god_n make_v it_o such_o as_o it_o be_v to_o be_v from_o the_o beginning_n

that_o alone_o all_o thing_n which_o be_v pure_o material_a might_n in_o time_n have_v render_v themselves_o such_o as_o we_o now_o see_v they_o and_o their_o nature_n be_v far_o easy_a to_o

i_o content_v myself_o to_o suppose_v that_o god_n form_v the_o body_n of_o a_o man_n altogether_o like_o one_o of_o we_o aswell_o in_o the_o exterior_a figure_n of_o its_o member_n as_o in_o the_o
