all_o discourse_n of_o a_o elevate_a nature_n and_o talk_v like_o other_o man_n the_o objection_n i_o have_v already_o answer_v that_o which_o i_o at_o present_a urge_v be_v that_o a_o man_n part_n will_v rust_v if_o they_o have_v not_o sometime_o the_o whet_v of_o a_o generous_a conversation_n and_o in_o this_o condition_n he_o will_v either_o be_v overrun_v with_o melancholy_a while_o he_o converse_v only_o with_o the_o grim_a visage_n and_o grisly_a shade_n of_o his_o disturb_a fancy_n or_o else_o he_o will_v become_v vain_a and_o empty_a toss_v to_o and_o fro_o with_o every_o flatus_fw-la 4._o i_o may_v add_v that_o one_o thing_n more_o which_o help_v forward_o the_o delusion_n be_v from_o his_o take_v too_o much_o tobacco_n this_o he_o think_v a_o innocent_a entertainment_n and_o therefore_o he_o indulge_v it_o but_o it_o be_v natural_a for_o frail_a man_n to_o delight_v himself_o too_o much_o in_o that_o which_o nourish_v his_o disease_n i_o seldom_o visit_v he_o but_o he_o be_v envelop_v in_o cloud_n of_o smoke_n and_o this_o among_o other_o thing_n overheat_v his_o brain_n and_o kindle_v that_o zeal_n which_o wrought_v itself_o into_o new_a light_n and_o prophecy_n i_o the_o rather_o mention_v this_o because_o his_o chief_a friend_n do_v ascertain_v i_o of_o the_o truth_n of_o it_o for_o upon_o my_o enquiry_n whether_o he_o be_v at_o all_o time_n alike_o full_a of_o rapture_n it_o be_v present_o answer_v that_o general_o while_o he_o smoke_v he_o be_v in_o a_o kind_n of_o ecstacy_n and_o all_o his_o people_n flock_v about_o he_o to_o receive_v his_o communication_n it_o make_v i_o think_v of_o blind_a homer_n and_o his_o gape_a poet_n and_o so_o much_o for_o my_o three_o letter_n the_o four_o inquire_v how_o it_o may_v consist_v with_o the_o divine_a goodness_n to_o permit_v a_o person_n of_o no_o ill_a meaning_n to_o fall_v into_o so_o great_a delusion_n this_o query_n i_o confess_v be_v propose_v to_o i_o in_o somewhat_o a_o different_a dress_n for_o instead_o of_o a_o person_n of_o no_o ill_a meaning_n they_o propound_v it_o how_o a_o person_n sincere_o good_a etc._n etc._n but_o the_o word_n sincerity_n when_o apply_v to_o a_o enthusiast_n be_v liable_a to_o a_o arrest_n and_o therefore_o i_o shall_v first_o give_v my_o reason_n why_o i_o decline_v it_o in_o the_o present_a case_n 1._o he_o that_o be_v perfect_o sincere_a will_v not_o only_o avoid_v all_o know_v evil_a as_o i_o hope_v mr._n mason_n do_v but_o will_v suspect_v his_o private_a judgement_n and_o do_v all_o he_o can_v to_o know_v the_o truth_n in_o which_o particular_a it_o be_v to_o be_v fear_v that_o he_o be_v much_o defective_a dr._n more_o in_o his_o treatise_n of_o enthusiasm_n though_o he_o be_v somewhat_o tender_a of_o some_o enthusiastical_a person_n yet_o he_o can_v but_o grant_v that_o the_o extravagancy_n of_o most_o of_o they_o be_v occasion_v through_o their_o own_o fault_n and_o the_o gild_n lie_v at_o their_o own_o door_n there_o be_v a_o irregularity_n or_o vitiosity_n of_o the_o will_n accessary_a to_o this_o distemper_n whereof_o temperance_n prudent_a refreshment_n humility_n and_o attention_n to_o sober_a reason_n will_v either_o be_v a_o prevention_n or_o a_o cure_n now_o the_o neglect_n of_o these_o be_v in_o some_o degree_n or_o other_o culpable_a and_o so_o far_o evil_a and_o so_o far_o the_o person_n be_v not_o perfect_o sincere_a though_o they_o be_v violent_o yet_o they_o be_v not_o irresistable_o assault_v by_o their_o own_o complexion_n i_o confess_v indeed_o that_o it_o seem_v hard_o at_o first_o sight_n that_o reason_n after_o its_o utmost_a effort_n shall_v be_v so_o liable_a to_o the_o vigour_n of_o the_o phantasm_n and_o shall_v be_v so_o far_o captivate_v by_o they_o as_o to_o listen_v itself_o under_o the_o enemy_n colour_n and_o fight_v on_o the_o contrary_a side_n of_o which_o there_o be_v several_a instance_n in_o casaubon_n and_o dr._n more_o speak_v of_o david_n george_n and_o other_o that_o be_v grave_a and_o sedate_v in_o speech_n and_o engage_v in_o conversation_n as_o much_o as_o mr._n mason_n can_v be_v but_o to_o this_o i_o will_v offer_v two_o thing_n 1._o that_o melancholy_n do_v occasion_n sometime_o a_o particular_a though_o not_o a_o total_a eclipse_n of_o the_o light_n of_o reason_n and_o then_o though_o all_o the_o other_o power_n of_o the_o mind_n act_v wonderful_o well_o yet_o here_o be_v a_o incurable_a flaw_n till_o time_n or_o care_n or_o providence_n remove_v it_o now_o these_o person_n as_o they_o be_v not_o to_o be_v flat_o term_v insincere_a neither_o can_v they_o proper_o be_v call_v sincere_a be_v craze_v quoad_fw-la hoc_fw-la and_o have_v the_o sad_a comfort_n of_o hercules_n furens_fw-la solus_fw-la te_fw-la jam_fw-la praestare_fw-la potest_fw-la furor_fw-la insontem_fw-la 2._o the_o other_o thing_n that_o i_o will_v offer_v be_v that_o man_n be_v strange_o apt_a to_o dandle_v the_o child_n of_o their_o own_o brain_n to_o cherish_v their_o amuse_a phantasm_n and_o imagination_n which_o they_o at_o first_o beget_v in_o the_o mind_n by_o unreasonable_a fast_n or_o rigour_n think_v it_o unlikely_a that_o their_o shall_v be_v a_o bad_a effect_n of_o so_o good_a a_o cause_n by_o too_o intense_a meditation_n by_o overcurious_a and_o anxious_a inquiry_n into_o future_a event_n by_o fanciful_a conceit_n of_o new_a discovery_n by_o morose_a zeal_n etc._n etc._n here_o i_o say_v it_o be_v true_a that_o at_o first_o reason_n and_o other_o good_a mean_n may_v have_v master_v the_o impression_n but_o be_v suffer_v to_o brood_n long_o upon_o the_o mind_n than_o like_o a_o suffusion_n in_o the_o eye_n they_o tincture_n and_o stain_v it_o and_o every_o thing_n in_o this_o case_n appear_v in_o the_o colour_n of_o their_o own_o disease_n now_o certain_o a_o delusion_n which_o thus_o overtake_v a_o man_n must_v be_v call_v voluntary_a and_o so_o far_o culpable_a though_o not_o in_o its_o self_n yet_o in_o its_o source_n and._n cause_n it_o be_v just_a as_o we_o blame_v a_o man_n who_o through_o outrageous_a love_n or_o excessive_a drink_v fall_v into_o frenzy_n the_o wildness_n of_o which_o while_o it_o last_v he_o shall_v be_v fatal_o subject_a to_o and_o yet_o sure_o his_o sottishness_n in_o contract_v it_o can_v be_v call_v innocent_a i_o do_v not_o doubt_v but_o john_n of_o leyden_n as_o very_o believe_v himself_o that_o the_o king_n of_o zion_n be_v come_v when_o he_o run_v naked_a and_o bellow_v it_o about_o the_o street_n of_o munster_n as_o john_n of_o stratford_n that_o he_o have_v see_v a_o glorious_a appearance_n of_o our_o bless_a lord_n and_o saviour_n prepare_v to_o judge_v the_o world_n and_o to_o save_v zion_n and_o the_o border_n that_o be_v water-stratford_n and_o the_o part_n adjacent_a none_o can_v give_v better_a proof_n that_o they_o be_v in_o earnest_n but_o for_o all_o that_o we_o must_v not_o call_v they_o sincere_a than_o to_o venture_v their_o life_n upon_o it_o as_o those_o miserable_a wretch_n do_v in_o germany_n with_o veni_fw-la creator_n spiritus_fw-la always_o in_o their_o mouth_n and_o as_o hacket_n and_o venner_n and_o his_o fifth-monarchy-man_n here_o in_o england_n appeal_n as_o solemn_o to_o god_n as_o these_o witness_n of_o mr._n mason_n do_o in_o their_o pamphlet_n call_v two_o witness_n to_o the_o mid-night-cry_a and_o pray_v as_o long_o as_o they_o have_v breath_n if_o a_o man_n be_v sincere_a he_o will_v hear_v a_o argument_n but_o all_o the_o argument_n in_o the_o world_n be_v insignificant_a to_o such_o as_o think_v they_o can_v confront_v they_o by_o a_o vision_n or_o revelation_n dr._n more_o in_o his_o mystery_n of_o godliness_n tell_v we_o that_o enthusiastic_a madness_n be_v never_o disjoin_v from_o the_o high_a kind_n of_o pride_n even_o there_o where_o it_o seem_v to_o be_v most_o humble_a for_o the_o attribute_v nothing_o to_o itself_o but_o that_o all_o its_o knowledge_n and_o power_n be_v immediate_o from_o god_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o ostentation_n of_o a_o high_a kind_n of_o power_n and_o more_o infallible_a way_n of_o knowledge_n than_o other_o mortal_n have_v of_o which_o mahomet_n vision_n be_v a_o lively_a representation_n it_o be_v somewhat_o pitiable_a indeed_o when_o the_o study_n of_o the_o scripture_n prove_v a_o occasion_n
