you_o have_v give_v i_o that_o libert_n and_o i_o think_v may_v be_v do_v without_o much_o difficulty_n if_o we_o consider_v when_o solomon_n say_v there_o be_v nothing_o new_a under_o the_o sun_n he_o mean_v it_o only_o with_o respect_n to_o the_o sinful_a and_o deprave_a temper_n and_o inclination_n of_o man_n which_o will_v be_v always_o the_o same_o produce_v the_o same_o mischief_n and_o calamity_n in_o the_o world_n this_o experience_n have_v abundant_o confirm_v for_o instance_n the_o fine_a house_n and_o palace_n every_o where_o build_v with_o such_o magnificent_a pride_n to_o make_v themselves_o a_o name_n be_v but_o the_o same_o design_n that_o set_v to_o work_v the_o builder_n of_o babel_n nor_o do_v these_o find_v any_o new_a success_n the_o fate_n of_o their_o posterity_n for_o all_o their_o great_a design_n be_v the_o same_o with_o those_o of_o babel_n to_o be_v scatter_v abroad_o upon_o the_o face_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o before_o that_o when_o man_n be_v distinguish_v and_o call_v the_o son_n of_o god_n because_o they_o begin_v to_o call_v on_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n yet_o when_o they_o see_v the_o daughter_n of_o the_o man_n of_o the_o world_n that_o they_o be_v fair_a they_o take_v they_o wife_n of_o all_o who_o they_o choose_v which_o provoke_v god_n foresee_v the_o wickedness_n it_o will_v engage_v they_o in_o and_o that_o the_o '_o thought_n and_o imagination_n of_o their_o heart_n be_v only_o evil_a continual_o to_o bring_v a_o deluge_n upon_o the_o earth_n to_o destroy_v '_o they_o now_o the_o same_o corruption_n of_o nature_n work_v in_o this_o generation_n they_o take_v those_o woman_n that_o please_v they_o and_o have_v no_o more_o regard_n than_o those_o of_o old_a to_o any_o thing_n else_o and_o one_o see_v all_o the_o world_n over_o the_o sad_a and_o dreadful_a effect_n of_o the_o evil_a thought_n and_o imagination_n of_o their_o heart_n which_o will_v improve_v continual_o till_o the_o great_a conslagration_n unless_o god_n in_o his_o wisdom_n have_v prepare_v some_o other_o cure_n for_o '_o they_o and_o now_o that_o we_o find_v all_o our_o city_n abound_v in_o wickedness_n we_o must_v not_o look_v for_o any_o new_a or_o strange_a cause_n of_o it_o it_o be_v the_o same_o that_o cause_v the_o sin_n of_o sodom_n pride_n fullness_n of_o bread_n and_o abundance_n of_o idleness_n be_v in_o she_o and_o in_o her_o daughter_n say_v the_o prophet_n ezekiel_n so_o we_o see_v there_o be_v nothing_o new_a in_o sin_n or_o the_o fruit_n and_o effect_n of_o it_o nor_o any_o new_a device_n for_o building_n happiness_n upon_o the_o weak_a and_o frail_a foundation_n of_o corrupt_a nature_n which_o solomon_n at_o that_o time_n be_v essay_v to_o do_v and_o upon_o the_o full_a trial_n that_o ever_o be_v or_o can_v be_v make_v he_o pronounce_v that_o all_o the_o experience_n he_o have_v goten_a serve_v only_o to_o convince_v he_o that_o happiness_n can_v never_o spring_v from_o sinful_a nature_n which_o never_o do_v nor_o ever_o can_v produce_v any_o thing_n but_o vanity_n and_o vexation_n of_o spirit_n but_o i_o see_v not_o how_o solomon_n in_o say_v there_o be_v nothing_o new_a under_o the_o sun_n can_v possible_o extend_v it_o so_o far_o as_o to_o art_n and_o science_n for_o there_o be_v some_o generation_n pass_v as_o scripture_n testify_v before_o there_o be_v harp_n and_o organ_n or_o those_o that_o can_v handle_v they_o or_o any_o that_o can_v work_v in_o brass_n and_o iron_n till_o lamech_n two_o wife_n bring_v he_o two_o son_n who_o instruct_v in_o those_o art_n and_o for_o the_o work_n of_o the_o taber_n nacle_n god_n be_v say_v to_o inspire_v two_o man_n with_o wisdom_n understanding_n and_o knowledge_n to_o devise_v cunning_a work_n in_o silver_n and_o gold_n and_o brass_n those_o thing_n must_v needs_o have_v be_v new_a that_o be_v never_o know_v till_o th●t_a generation_n and_o who_o can_v say_v there_o be_v nothing_o new_a with_o respect_n to_o art_n and_o science_n with_o less_o reason_n than_o solomon_n who_o sit_v himself_o upon_o a_o throne_n of_o so_o new_a a_o invention_n the_o scripture_n affirm_v there_o be_v none_o like_o it_o in_o any_o kingdom_n and_o that_o which_o be_v say_v to_o dispirit_v the_o queen_n of_o sheba_n be_v the_o wonderful_a novelty_n she_o observe_v in_o the_o oeconomy_n of_o that_o great_a and_o wise_a king_n who_o can_v be_v think_v after_o all_o this_o to_o deny_v that_o art_n and_o science_n may_v be_v new_a else_o what_o must_v become_v of_o the_o foundation_n the_o port_n royal_a have_v lay_v upon_o the_o supposit_a on_o of_o new_a art_n and_o invention_n to_o prove_v the_o existence_n of_o god_n and_o that_o the_o world_n be_v not_o eternal_a they_o say_v and_o with_o great_a reason_n too_o there_o be_v some_o invention_n so_o beneficial_a to_o the_o world_n that_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o be_v once_o know_v they_o can_v ever_o be_v lose_v or_o lay_v aside_o as_o the_o invention_n of_o print_v of_o the_o sea_n card_n gun_n and_o mill_n which_o for_o certain_a some_o age_n past_o the_o world_n be_v ignorant_a of_o and_o therefore_o must_v be_v the_o new_a invention_n of_o late_a age_n and_o by_o this_o they_o prove_v the_o world_n itself_o be_v new_a some_o thousand_o year_n since_o for_o have_v it_o be_v from_o eternity_n thing_n so_o obvious_a and_o easy_a must_v needs_o have_v be_v find_v out_o long_o before_o it_o binder_n not_o but_o that_o many_o thing_n be_v think_v new_a only_o for_o have_v be_v so_o long_o disuse_v that_o they_o be_v out_o of_o remembrance_n and_o it_o be_v happy_a for_o we_o in_o some_o respect_n because_o thereby_o it_o give_v we_o all_o that_o can_v be_v call_v pleasure_n in_o the_o whole_a universe_n for_o we_o see_v the_o defect_n of_o what_o we_o be_v thorough_o acquaint_v with_o but_o we_o be_v pleas_o delude_v with_o great_a expectation_n from_o every_o thing_n that_o be_v new_a and_o i_o be_o sorry_a you_o shall_v ever_o give_v the_o world_n so_o just_a a_o occasion_n to_o quarrel_n with_o you_o for_o take_v away_o their_o soul_n their_o life_n their_o all_o yet_o if_o you_o can_v make_v good_a your_o promise_n and_o present_v they_o with_o new_a subject_n such_o as_o be_v curious_a and_o very_o rare_o handle_v you_o will_v make_v they_o ample_a aménd_n for_o a_o thing_n so_o much_o beyond_o their_o expectation_n will_v be_v esteem_v equal_a to_o a_o novelty_n and_o as_o to_o all_o those_o project_n and_o invention_n from_o which_o you_o have_v be_v so_o studious_a to_o take_v off_o the_o dear_a reputation_n of_o new_a that_o perhaps_o chief_o recommend_v they_o at_o first_o but_o since_o found_v so_o necessary_a for_o the_o gratifying_n of_o their_o sinful_a and_o deprave_a appetite_n they_o be_v too_o considerable_a for_o you_o to_o blast_v yet_o be_v they_o the_o fruit_n and_o effect_n of_o sin_n so_o nothing_o new_a according_a to_o solomon_n but_o many_o thing_n not_o new_a to_o all_o be_v so_o to_o those_o who_o be_v stranger_n to_o the_o world_n and_o have_v but_o little_a experience_n which_o i●_n my_o case_n for_o bookseller_n to_o turn_v author_n be_v news_n to_o i_o but_o no_o surprise_n it_o be_v hard_a to_o think_v how_o they_o shall_v forbear_v writing_n have_v fill_v their_o head_n with_o so_o much_o read_v and_o of_o all_o man_n they_o may_v best_o be_v allow_v to_o be_v poet_n which_o be_v the_o ready_a vent_n for_o abundance_n of_o thought_n so_o that_o it_o be_v strange_a if_o bookseller_n be_v not_o more_o learned_a than_o other_o trader_n for_o they_o have_v all_o the_o utensil_n of_o learning_n about_o they_o live_v by_o learning_n though_o it_o be_v often_o see_v it_o be_v worth_n run_v more_o into_o their_o pocket_n then_o head_n however_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o man_n of_o this_o profession_n have_v great_a opportunity_n than_o other_o for_o improve_n their_o understanding_n in_o language_n history_n divinity_n etc._n etc._n the_o book_n you_o mention_n i_o shall_v once_o have_v think_v it_o great_a charity_n to_o disperse_v but_o now_o i_o think_v there_o be_v little_a danger_n of_o the_o papist_n make_v many_o proselyte_n any_o where_o i_o expect_v that_o church_n shall_v lose_v every_o day_n and_o not_o gain_v but_o what_o can_v be_v say_v to_o your_o retirement_n from_o so_o many_o advantage_n to_o a_o lonely_a cell_n live_v incognito_o in_o order_n to_o writing_n pure_o for_o your_o own_o diversion_n if_o you_o have_v prove_v by_o many_o example_n it_o be_v not_o new_a thing_n which_o shall_v i_o grant_v you_o i_o can_v allow_v it_o not_o a_o jot_n to_o be_v wonder_v at_o for_o nothing_o can_v be_v more_o surprise_v then_o such_o a_o sudden_a and_o unaccountable_a change_n as_o from_o have_v
