to_o treat_v of_o it_o here_o a_o little_a more_o particular_o than_o we_o have_v do_v either_o of_o itself_o or_o in_o conjunction_n with_o some_o other_o faculty_n of_o the_o soul_n indeed_o the_o several_a faculty_n of_o the_o soul_n seem_v not_o many_o in_o number_n yet_o the_o soul_n like_o some_o instrument_n of_o very_a few_o string_n be_v capable_a to_o render_v such_o innumerable_a various_a sound_n as_o be_v able_a to_o confound_v we_o in_o go_v about_o to_o distinguish_v they_o this_o we_o own_o upon_o trial_n to_o be_v the_o admirable_a work_n of_o our_o provident_a creator_n

i_o think_v the_o sweet_a harmony_n or_o jar_a discordance_n in_o this_o wonderful_a instrument_n in_o relation_n to_o ourselves_o and_o whether_o it_o render_v a_o sound_a sweet_a and_o pleasant_a or_o harsh_a and_o grate_a consist_v very_o much_o as_o i_o conceive_v from_o the_o high_a or_o low_a or_o even_o strain_v that_o one_o string_n thereof_o in_o it_o the_o imagination_n the_o imagination_n be_v a_o most_o strange_a faculty_n and_o able_a to_o confound_v we_o and_o put_v we_o to_o a_o stand_n or_o a_o maze_n while_o we_o reflect_v on_o it_o it_o be_v that_o various_a and_o sometime_o false_a light_n which_o put_v the_o colour_n of_o good_a upon_o evil_n and_o evil_a upon_o good_a it_o be_v that_o strange_a resound_a echo_n to_o the_o affection_n that_o render_v their_o cry_n double_a and_o loud_o it_o be_v that_o which_o call_v upon_o by_o one_o affection_n to_o its_o help_n and_o assistance_n often_o raise_v and_o lead_v with_o it_o a_o thousand_o fury_n to_o disquiet_v we_o and_o if_o we_o may_v affirm_v as_o i_o think_v we_o true_o may_v that_o the_o heat_n of_o the_o affection_n sometime_o cause_v its_o work_n so_o also_o it_o be_v that_o bellows_o

be_v divert_v or_o call_v upon_o and_o employ_v by_o various_a object_n minutely_o through_o sense_n as_o we_o observe_v how_o else_o can_v we_o remember_v which_o be_v but_o a_o impress_n leave_v

as_o it_o former_o receive_v thereby_o but_o i_o can_v but_o think_v that_o its_o work_n general_o tend_v to_o the_o satisfy_n or_o feed_v some_o affection_n not_o affection_n of_o its_o own_o create_v from_o sense_n as_o in_o beast_n but_o some_o affection_n of_o equal_a extraction_n with_o itself_o original_o pure_a and_o undefiled_a but_o now_o corrupt_a and_o deprave_a by_o its_o work_n through_o the_o sly_a insinuation_n or_o delusion_n of_o some_o evil_a spirit_n and_o that_o from_o sense_n alone_o the_o one_o nor_o the_o other_o nor_o both_o together_o can_v create_v in_o our_o
