be_v out_o of_o the_o body_n together_o with_o the_o misery_n of_o a_o unhappy_a one_o and_o glance_v in_o gross_a at_o the_o different_a way_n which_o lead_v to_o these_o so_o different_a state_n

with_o security_n to_o so_o great_a a_o good_a intend_v he_o by_o god_n and_o nature_n for_o he_o can_v not_o choose_v but_o see_v that_o no_o good_a of_o this_o world_n can_v be_v paragon_v to_o that_o bliss_n as_o also_o that_o no_o action_n be_v worth_a the_o do_v that_o be_v not_o aim_v at_o purchase_v that_o hope_a and_o desire_a beatitude_n but_o when_o to_o this_o he_o shall_v add_v that_o although_o he_o travel_v not_o by_o design_n in_o the_o opposite_a way_n but_o that_o mere_o through_o heedlessness_n or_o ignorance_n he_o do_v walk_v out_o of_o the_o right_a way_n all_o

method_n and_o course_n of_o arrive_v to_o this_o supreme_a and_o sole_a good_a be_v not_o only_o the_o worthy_a the_o noble_a and_o the_o useful_a art_n he_o can_v study_v but_o that_o in_o very_a

and_o application_n he_o will_v be_v afraid_a of_o be_v ill_o direct_v and_o will_v be_v solicitous_a to_o meet_v with_o a_o clear_a and_o distinct_a rule_n that_o may_v instruct_v he_o how_o to_o tread_v bold_o in_o every_o step_n he_o be_v to_o make_v and_o therefore_o will_v not_o be_v content_a with_o discern_v in_o gross_a that_o the_o entertain_n of_o his_o thought_n and_o affection_n with_o intellectual_a good_n will_v make_v he_o happy_a and_o that_o his_o settle_v they_o upon_o sensual_a one_o will_v bring_v he_o to_o a_o contrary_a condition_n but_o see_v that_o these_o

they_o he_o will_v be_v anxious_a and_o serupulous_a in_o seek_v out_o the_o great_a certitude_n and_o infallibility_n that_o man_n nature_n and_o the_o course_n of_o second_o cause_n can_v afford_v he_o to_o be_v right_a in_o this_o point_n in_o the_o mean_a time_n during_o such_o his_o attentive_a and_o earnest_a inquiry_n he_o will_v have_v the_o comfort_n of_o be_v secure_a that_o there_o

one_o may_v learn_v all_o other_o in_o very_o short_a time_n which_o have_v no_o subsistence_n but_o in_o credulous_a person_n airy_a fancy_n for_o he_o who_o be_v able_a to_o weigh_v in_o his_o thought_n the_o progress_n of_o god_n providence_n in_o his_o way_n to_o compass_v his_o desire_a end_v upon_o this_o world_n can_v not_o doubt_v but_o that_o he_o must_v have_v frame_v strong_a engine_n to_o bring_v about_o the_o salvation_n of_o mankind_n then_o for_o any_o other_o design_n that_o he_o have_v set_v on_o foot_n within_o our_o reach_n and_o ken_n not_o only_o as_o be_v the_o

therefore_o he_o will_v conclude_v that_o the_o security_n of_o obtain_v the_o true_a mean_n to_o gain_v beatitude_n must_v be_v as_o great_a if_o not_o great_a than_o the_o security_n of_o man_n

and_o consequent_o if_o he_o compare_v the_o certitude_n belong_v to_o the_o science_n which_o be_v to_o bring_v mankind_n to_o beatitude_n with_o the_o certitude_n of_o such_o knowledge_n or_o rule_n as_o govern_v the_o art_n that_o be_v usual_a among_o man_n as_o agriculture_n military_a discipline_n the_o art_n of_o navigation_n and_o all_o sort_n of_o handicrafte_n and_o trade_n he_o will_v look_v for_o at_o the_o least_o as_o great_a in_o this_o science_n if_o not_o great_a but_o all_o these_o sort_n of_o man_n be_v teach_v by_o continual_a experience_n that_o when_o they_o work_v according_a though_o the_o rule_n of_o their_o art_n the_o effect_n succeed_v to_o their_o wish_n be_v so_o secure_a in_o their_o several_a way_n that_o they_o can_v not_o admit_v any_o doubt_n of_o the_o certainty_n and_o truth_n of_o their_o rule_n we_o have_v reason_n therefore_o to_o expect_v in_o this_o art_n of_o govern_v our_o action_n in_o order_n to_o beatitude_n at_o the_o least_o such_o a_o security_n as_o may_v aequalise_v the_o security_n spring_v from_o experience_n that_o be_v in_o trade_n and_o manufacture_n and_o this_o be_v by_o so_o much_o the_o more_o necessary_a by_o how_o much_o the_o subject_n of_o this_o art_n have_v great_a difficulty_n than_o the_o subject_n of_o other_o art_n first_o because_o this_o be_v both_o speculative_a and_o practical_a whereas_o other_o be_v only_o practical_a in_o other_o every_o man_n desire_v to_o do_v well_o in_o this_o for_o the_o most_o part_n passion_n and_o interest_n make_v man_n desire_v not_o to_o do_v well_o in_o other_o no_o man_n doubt_v of_o his_o rule_n and_o all_o his_o labour_n be_v only_o to_o apply_v they_o right_o but_o in_o this_o art_n there_o be_v difficulty_n aswell_o to_o understand_v and_o believe_v the_o principle_n of_o it_o as_o to_o apply_v they_o to_o our_o life_n when_o we_o know_v they_o in_o other_o art_n a_o master_n or_o teacher_n be_v ready_o meet_v with_o and_o the_o manner_n to_o acquire_v they_o be_v obvious_a but_o in_o this_o a_o main_a difficulty_n be_v the_o seek_v and_o discern_v of_o a_o right_a teacher_n last_o other_o art_n contain_v but_o some_o one_o part_n of_o a_o man_n action_n and_o life_n but_o this_o comprehend_v all_o our_o whole_a life_n and_o principal_o the_o high_a part_n of_o it_o i_o may_v therefore_o conclude_v that_o the_o art_n of_o come_v to_o beatitude_n which_o we_o call_v religion_n be_v the_o high_a the_o ample_a and_o the_o necessary_a of_o all_o art_n whatsoever_o the_o high_a because_o the_o scope_n of_o it_o be_v to_o gain_v beatitude_n which_o be_v our_o chief_a end_n and_o upon_o which_o all_o that_o be_v otherwise_o please_v to_o we_o ought_v to_o depend_v the_o ample_a because_o in_o the_o use_n and_o application_n of_o it_o it_o extend_v to_o all_o our_o action_n and_o the_o most_o necessary_a because_o if_o he_o be_v not_o instruct_v in_o it_o he_o will_v infallible_o miscarry_v and_o perish_v for_o as_o a_o man_n that_o be_v no_o architect_n or_o musician_n and_o have_v not_o learned_a how_o to_o build_v a_o house_n or_o to_o play_v a_o lesson_n on_o the_o lute_n though_o he_o will_v not_o be_v blame_v for_o his_o ignorance_n in_o those_o art_n which_o happy_o be_v not_o through_o his_o own_o default_n but_o by_o some_o impossibility_n of_o get_v instruction_n in_o they_o yet_o if_o the_o one_o go_v to_o build_v himself_o a_o habitation_n or_o the_o other_o to_o touch_v a_o lute_n they_o will_v not_o effect_v what_o they_o aim_v at_o but_o the_o disorde_o machine_n of_o stone_n and_o timber_n of_o the_o first_n imitation_n of_o a_o house_n will_v fall_v upon_o his_o head_n and_o the_o second_o inconcert_v stroke_n and_o stop_n will_v annoy_v his_o own_o and_o his_o hearer_n ear_n in_o like_a manner_n if_o a_o man_n have_v not_o the_o true_a knowledge_n of_o live_v so_o as_o to_o attain_v beatitude_n although_o he_o be_v not_o blame_v for_o incredulity_n if_o it_o be_v never_o due_o propose_v unto_o he_o yet_o he_o shall_v fail_v of_o obtain_v the_o bliss_n that_o follow_v out_o of_o a_o well_o order_a life_n and_o shall_v inherit_v in_o the_o next_o world_n all_o those_o torment_n and_o misery_n which_o i_o have_v express_v and_o show_v to_o be_v the_o effect_n and_o sequel_n of_o a_o disorder_a life_n in_o this_o and_o therefore_o no_o excuse_n serve_v a_o

that_o we_o daily_o see_v man_n of_o excellent_a part_n sacrifice_v their_o whole_a life_n to_o the_o purchase_n and_o enjoy_n of_o they_o but_o if_o we_o compare_v they_o with_o the_o pleasure_n of_o the_o mind_n even_o in_o this_o world_n we_o shall_v find_v that_o in_o respect_n of_o they_o they_o be_v flat_a mean_a brutal_a and_o inconsiderable_a we_o see_v daily_a example_n of_o person_n that_o have_v be_v deep_a immerse_v in_o those_o and_o therefore_o can_v not_o be_v suspect_v to_o want_v the_o skill_n of_o gust_v they_o as_o soon_o as_o they_o have_v come_v to_o relish_v the_o

shall_v lay_v the_o ground_n why_o intellectual_a pleasure_n do_v of_o their_o own_o nature_n affect_v a_o man_n more_o than_o corporeal_a one_o this_o be_v easy_o and_o present_o do_v if_o we_o but_o

be_v the_o great_a and_o the_o more_o excellent_a we_o be_v sure_a that_o god_n be_v a_o understanding_n and_o consequent_o he_o know_v what_o he_o be_v to_o do_v before_o he_o do_v it_o whence_o follow_v that_o he_o be_v the_o cause_n and_o maker_n of_o all_o creature_n he_o understand_v and_o know_v they_o all_o therefore_o he_o that_o shall_v have_v that_o great_a register_n display_v to_o

by_o how_o much_o noble_a and_o excellent_a they_o must_v necessary_o be_v in_o that_o great_a unity_n and_o identity_n which_o they_o have_v in_o he_o then_o in_o their_o own_o multiplicity_n and_o

we_o can_v not_o doubt_v but_o that_o the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n must_v be_v far_o beyond_o the_o knowledge_n of_o all_o creature_n but_o when_o beside_o this_o know_n of_o all_o creature_n in_o
