growth_n and_o fruit_n be_v not_o more_o manifest_a than_o a_o easy_a unity_n in_o their_o juice_n but_o if_o you_o will_v by_o a_o near_a instruction_n see_v the_o obedience_n of_o the_o creature_n it_o disjoin_v to_o return_v to_o unity_n you_o may_v from_o yourselves_o instruct_v yourselves_o and_o when_o man_n body_n fals-off_a from_o his_o soul_n in_o that_o one_o dis-union_n behold_v two_o union_n and_o nature_n hasten_v to_o its_o first_o similitude_n you_o may_v see_v the_o body_n put-on_z a_o humble_a corruption_n and_o be_v content_a to_o return_v to_o as_o unfeigned_a dust_n as_o that_o which_o be_v the_o food_n and_o curse_n of_o the_o serpent_n or_o that_o into_o which_o every_o beast_n must_v be_v confound_v that_o if_o the_o ash_n of_o alexander_n and_o his_o bucephalus_n have_v be_v put_v in_o one_o urn_n aristotle_n himself_o can_v not_o have_v distinguish_v they_o either_o by_o philosophy_n or_o by_o flattery_n you_o may_v likewise_o by_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o soul_n see_v the_o soul_n at_o its_o separation_n so_o refine_v by_o similitude_n into_o spirit_n that_o it_o be_v ready_a to_o mistake_v itself_o for_o a_o angel_n as_o if_o its_o knowledge_n be_v at_o the_o same_o time_n perfect_v and_o delude_v nor_o will_v it_o only_o imitate_v the_o likeness_n but_o also_o the_o office_n of_o a_o angel_n and_o shall_v at_o last_o be_v send_v upon_o a_o message_n to_o its_o own_o body_n which_o it_o will_v take_v up_o as_o a_o angel_n will_v take_v up_o both_o the_o body_n and_o soul_n but_o because_o the_o soul_n can_v ascend_v high_o by_o contemplation_n than_o it_o can_v by_o essence_n it_o may_v behold_v the_o beginning_n of_o unity_n in_o all_o thing_n by_o behold_v he_o who_o be_v the_o begin_n of_o all_o thing_n in_o who_o we_o may_v see_v a_o unity_n in_o a_o division_n and_o show_v the_o mathematician_n a_o mystical_a possibility_n of_o the_o divide_n of_o a_o point_n while_o we_o may_v behold_v god_n not_o multiply_v and_o yet_o divide_v into_o person_n now_o though_o man_n be_v not_o capable_a of_o the_o mystery_n yet_o he_o be_v of_o the_o instruction_n and_o may_v with_o as_o much_o case_n as_o delight_v understand_v that_o god_n be_v so_o delight_v with_o unity_n that_o it_o be_v always_o either_o his_o nature_n or_o his_o work_n it_o be_v the_o same_o wisdom_n which_o dispense_v adam_n into_o nation_n and_o contract_v they_o again_o into_o the_o household_n of_o a_o ark_n god_n create_v angel_n in_o multitude_n but_o he_o make_v man_n in_o unity_n he_o give_v excellence_n to_o they_o but_o to_o man_n supremacy_n the_o chief_a of_o angel_n be_v in_o heaven_n but_o a_o subject_n but_o the_o chief_a of_o man_n be_v on_o earth_n a_o king_n and_o though_o a_o angel_n be_v more_o like_a to_o god_n for_o purity_n yet_o man_n be_v more_o like_o he_o for_o production_n a_o angel_n can_v more_o subtle_o understand_v his_o own_o likeness_n but_o a_o man_n more_o powerful_o can_v also_o partly_o beget_v his_o own_o likeness_n be_v make_v a_o deputy_n creator_n and_o therefore_o he_o be_v a_o king_n because_o he_o be_v a_o father_n a_o kingdom_n by_o nature_n be_v but_o a_o enlarge_a family_n and_o the_o first_o king_n beget_v his_o own_o subject_n and_o a_o father_n by_o the_o roman_a law_n have_v once_o as_o just_a power_n to_o execute_v his_o son_n as_o to_o preserve_v he_o the_o law_n of_o god_n which_o command_v our_o obedience_n to_o a_o king_n command_v it_o for_o he_o by_o the_o title_n of_o a_o father_n adam_n be_v by_o god_n and_o nature_n the_o king_n of_o mankind_n and_o nature_n will_v have_v deliver_v this_o kingdom_n to_o his_o first_o bear_v nor_o have_v it_o be_v a_o mistake_n nature_n see_v just_a cause_n why_o he_o shall_v have_v succeed_v though_o it_o do_v not_o see_v a_o just_a cause_n why_o he_o shall_v not_o succeed_v and_o though_o the_o divine_a justice_n change_v the_o person_n yet_o it_o change_v not_o the_o law_n it_o do_v interrupt_v it_o but_o not_o abrogate_v it_o and_o therefore_o the_o royalty_n go_v still_o with_o the_o eldership_n thus_o he_o that_o be_v the_o first_o king_n be_v before_o his_o people_n and_o this_o agree_v with_o the_o course_n of_o nature_n by_o who_o instruction_n we_o know_v that_o in_o the_o method_n of_o every_o birth_n which_o be_v not_o perverse_a the_o head_n be_v elder_a than_o the_o body_n as_o then_o both_o angel_n and_o man_n take_v their_o beginning_n from_o one_o god_n so_o all_o other_o man_n take_v their_o beginning_n from_o one_o man_n and_o god_n have_v not_o only_o honour_v this_o unity_n in_o succession_n but_o also_o preserve_v it_o by_o succession_n so_o some_o king_n supply_n birth_n right_a by_o victory_n and_o some_o by_o election_n though_o to_o elect_v a_o king_n be_v as_o much_o news_n to_o nature_n as_o to_o adopt_v a_o father_n and_o it_o do_v first_o arise_v from_o necessity_n and_o conveniency_n in_o family_n who_o the_o blessing_n of_o multitude_n have_v disperse_v and_o mix_v and_o though_o it_o be_v often_o among_o the_o gentile_n continue_v by_o faction_n and_o by_o the_o jew_n at_o first_o entertain_v by_o fancy_n yet_o god_n in_o the_o wisdom_n of_o his_o divine_a indulgence_n do_v grant_v their_o desire_n and_o chastise_v it_o give_v they_o a_o king_n by_o choice_n but_o it_o be_v also_o by_o his_o own_o choice_n he_o do_v not_o in_o the_o election_n commend_v election_n but_o monarchy_n which_o make_v family_n so_o wise_a as_o to_o become_v a_o nation_n nay_o which_o make_v nation_n so_o wise_a as_o to_o become_v a_o nation_n and_o by_o the_o witty_a happiness_n of_o unity_n to_o prove_v one_o to_o be_v strong_a than_o two_o it_o be_v as_o great_a a_o difficulty_n as_o a_o blessing_n for_o brethren_n to_o live_v in_o one_o nation_n and_o friendship_n but_o it_o be_v as_o great_a a_o wonder_n as_o a_o blessing_n when_o nation_n become_v brethren_n and_o be_v distinguish_v rather_o by_o number_n then_o affection_n abraham_n and_o lot_n be_v almost_o brethren_n and_o yet_o they_o be_v divide_v that_o they_o may_v not_o be_v divide_v jacob_n and_o esau_n be_v brethren_n and_o though_o one_o womb_n can_v contain_v they_o one_o country_n can_v not_o but_o jacob_n must_v fly_v &_o esau_n be_v as_o ready_a to_o hunt_v he_o as_o venison_n but_o cain_n be_v at_o that_o division_n with_o abel_n that_o the_o same_o world_n can_v not_o hold_v they_o both_o and_o yet_o he_o kill_v he_o for_o he_o know_v not_o what_o it_o be_v about_o god_n favour_n but_o not_o for_o it_o thus_o experience_n can_v hardly_o find_v union_n there_o where_o reason_n will_v think_v it_o hard_o to_o find_v a_o division_n union_n be_v the_o happiness_n of_o man_n and_o the_o accusation_n it_o be_v more_o entertain_v by_o inferior_a creature_n which_o rather_o possess_v it_o then_o enjoy_v it_o than_o it_o be_v by_o man_n who_o likewise_o do_v more_o understand_v it_o then_o enjoy_v it_o and_o yet_o it_o be_v a_o blessing_n not_o so_o excellent_a for_o the_o rarity_n as_o for_o the_o increase_n it_o be_v by_o nature_n of_o that_o thrift_n and_o cunning_a that_o it_o grow_v in_o goodness_n by_o grow_v in_o greatness_n and_o from_o number_n receive_v excellence_n the_o union_n of_o family_n into_o a_o city_n as_o it_o do_v conquer_v affection_n unto_o peace_n so_o itself_o be_v conquer_v into_o a_o perfection_n by_o a_o great_a union_n the_o union_n of_o city_n into_o a_o kingdom_n try_v the_o goodness_n of_o a_o king_n but_o the_o union_n of_o kingdom_n try_v his_o wisdom_n the_o simplicity_n of_o justice_n be_v enough_o to_o manage_v one_o kingdom_n but_o two_o will_v require_v the_o mystery_n of_o wisdom_n when_o nature_n unite_v people_n into_o a_o kingdom_n it_o do_v but_o work_n by_o a_o humble_a safety_n but_o when_o it_o unite_v kingdom_n it_o work_v by_o the_o transcendent_a power_n of_o love_n and_o glory_n this_o excellent_a union_n be_v as_o much_o the_o delight_n as_o the_o imitation_n of_o nature_n so_o that_o although_o it_o arise_v sometime_o by_o accident_n from_o cause_n less_o natural_a as_o from_o pride_n and_o force_v yet_o the_o divine_a wisdom_n have_v in_o all_o age_n condemn_v and_o rectify_v such_o union_n still_o suffer_v a_o great_a part_n of_o the_o world_n by_o a_o happy_a rashness_n to_o run_v itself_o into_o empire_n in_o each_o of_o which_o i_o
