i_o will_v let_v the_o other_o alone_o without_o use_v they_o and_o so_o pass_v on_o to_o let_v you_o observe_v that_o as_o the_o author_n of_o nature_n command_v we_o and_o rule_n over_o we_o indubitable_o in_o all_o these_o manner_n in_o our_o body_n so_o he_o serve_v we_o also_o and_o obey_v we_o and_o if_o i_o may_v be_v permit_v to_o say_v so_o we_o command_v he_o in_o our_o turn_n

kind_n of_o thing_n from_o we_o but_o the_o desire_n to_o move_v ourselves_o and_o the_o act_n of_o the_o determinative_a faculty_n of_o the_o will_n by_o the_o which_o we_o give_v a_o command_n to_o the_o body_n to_o move_v itself_o and_o because_o we_o know_v too_o well_o from_o other_o thing_n our_o dependence_n our_o weakness_n and_o our_o limit_a power_n to_o be_v able_a to_o believe_v that_o we_o have_v a_o power_n to_o operate_v any_o thing_n out_o of_o we_o by_o our_o will_n alone_o since_o that_o be_v the_o character_n of_o a_o infinite_a power_n as_o we_o have_v already_o say_v upon_o this_o indubitable_a experience_n which_o we_o have_v that_o do_v nothing_o but_o to_o will_n ourselves_o to_o move_v we_o do_v move_v ourselves_o nevertheless_o effective_o we_o therefore_o conclude_v that_o there_o must_v be_v a_o assist_v power_n which_o move_v our_o body_n in_o the_o moment_n that_o we_o will_v have_v it_o and_o as_o this_o power_n be_v immense_a and_o infinite_a since_o it_o operate_v through_o all_o in_o the_o same_o time_n move_v all_o the_o body_n of_o man_n when_o they_o will_v and_o that_o it_o be_v also_o indubitable_o enlighten_v wise_a and_o

our_o member_n from_o whence_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o those_o that_o have_v the_o palsy_n can_v move_v themselves_o though_o they_o will_v we_o conclude_v therefore_o that_o this_o can_v be_v nothing_o but_o the_o power_n of_o the_o author_n of_o nature_n from_o whence_o we_o infer_v that_o the_o author_n of_o nature_n intermeddle_v between_o our_o soul_n and_o our_o body_n and_o that_o he_o take_v part_n and_o interest_n in_o their_o union_n and_o in_o the_o manner_n how_o these_o nature_n and_o these_o spiritual_a substance_n be_v in_o the_o terrestrial_a and_o mortal_a habitation_n of_o our_o body_n ii_o another_o experience_n of_o the_o same_o from_o the_o diversity_n of_o delectable_a and_o painful_a sentiment_n we_o find_v in_o the_o second_o place_n under_o this_o new_a consideration_n that_o this_o same_o enlighten_v immense_a and_o immutable_a power_n do_v continual_o serve_v our_o soul_n in_o our_o body_n for_o to_o advertise_v they_o in_o a_o

of_o its_o function_n so_o soon_o the_o soul_n be_v in_o a_o instant_n advertise_v thereof_o by_o a_o sad_a and_o painful_a sentiment_n which_o she_o find_v herself_o sudden_o transpierce_v with_o as_o with_o a_o sharp_a point_a instrument_n which_o she_o find_v herself_o attack_v with_o without_o know_v whereby_o or_o how_o it_o enter_v and_o on_o the_o contrary_a if_o there_o be_v any_o

find_v herself_o penetrate_v and_o tickle_v with_o a_o agreeable_a sentiment_n which_o we_o call_v pleasure_n and_o delight_n without_o know_v in_o like_a manner_n either_o how_o or_o where_o it_o

impression_n indifferent_a to_o the_o body_n she_o shall_v give_v sentiment_n which_o may_v affectionate_a and_o determine_v it_o to_o love_n or_o to_o hate_n but_o sentiment_n indifferent_a such_o as_o be_v white_a black_a dry_a and_o moist_a and_o image_n and_o idea_n indifferent_a also_o which_o leave_v the_o soul_n the_o liberty_n of_o approach_v or_o withdraw_v itself_o from_o those_o object_n upon_o who_o occasion_n she_o have_v they_o i_o call_v this_o power_n immense_a because_o it_o operate_v through_o all_o at_o the_o same_o time_n within_o both_o pole_n and_o in_o the_o two_o hemisphere_n i_o call_v it_o illuminate_v because_o it_o neither_o give_v sals_o nor_o unreasonable_o neither_o idea_n nor_o sentiment_n and_o i_o call_v it_o immutable_a because_o it_o do_v not_o

that_o he_o act_v upon_o our_o soul_n and_o upon_o our_o body_n we_o find_v in_o the_o three_o place_n that_o this_o power_n which_o act_v in_o we_o as_o well_o to_o obey_v and_o serve_v we_o as_o
