near_o enough_o to_o any_o body_n we_o perceive_v the_o motion_n and_o go_v of_o the_o same_o we_o distinguish_v it_o thereby_o from_o a_o tree_n a_o column_n and_o other_o fix_a body_n and_o so_o that_o motion_n or_o go_v be_v the_o property_n thereof_o as_o be_v proper_a to_o live_a creature_n and_o a_o faculty_n by_o which_o they_o make_v we_o distinguish_v they_o from_o other_o body_n 5_o how_o the_o knowledge_n of_o any_o effect_n may_v be_v get_v from_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o generation_n thereof_o may_v easy_o be_v understand_v by_o the_o example_n of_o a_o circle_n for_o if_o there_o be_v set_v before_o we_o a_o plain_a figure_n have_v as_o near_o as_o may_v be_v the_o figure_n of_o a_o circle_n we_o can_v possible_o perceive_v by_o sense_n whether_o it_o be_v a_o true_a circle_n or_o no_o than_o which_o nevertheless_o nothing_o be_v more_o easy_a to_o be_v know_v to_o he_o that_o know_v first_o the_o generation_n of_o the_o propound_a figure_n for_o let_v it_o be_v know_v that_o the_o figure_n be_v make_v by_o the_o circumduction_n of_o a_o body_n whereof_o one_o end_n remain_v unmoved_a and_o we_o may_v reason_v thus_o a_o body_n carry_v about_o retain_v always_o the_o same_o length_n apply_v itself_o first_o to_o one_o radius_fw-la then_o to_o another_o to_o a_o three_o a_o four_o and_o successive_o to_o all_o and_o therefore_o the_o same_o length_n from_o the_o same_o point_n touch_v the_o circumference_n in_o every_o part_n thereof_o which_o be_v as_o much_o to_o say_v as_o all_o the_o radii_fw-la be_v equal_a we_o know_v therefore_o that_o from_o such_o generation_n proceed_v a_o figure_n from_o who_o one_o middle_a point_n all_o the_o extreme_a point_n be_v reach_v unto_o by_o equal_a radii_fw-la and_o in_o like_a manner_n by_o know_v first_o what_o figure_n be_v set_v before_o we_o we_o may_v come_v by_o ratiocination_n to_o some_o generation_n of_o the_o same_o though_o perhaps_o not_o that_o by_o which_o it_o be_v make_v yet_o that_o by_o w_z ch_z it_o may_v have_v be_v make_v for_o he_o that_o know_v that_o a_o circle_n have_v the_o property_n above_o declare_v will_v easy_o know_v whether_o a_o body_n carry_v about_o as_o be_v say_v will_v generate_v a_o circle_n or_o no._n 6_o the_o end_n or_o scope_n of_o philosophy_n be_v that_o we_o may_v make_v use_n to_o our_o benefit_n of_o effect_n former_o see_v or_o that_o by_o application_n of_o body_n to_o one_o another_o we_o may_v produce_v the_o like_a effect_n of_o those_o we_o conceive_v in_o our_o mind_n as_o far_o forth_o as_o matter_n strength_n &_o industry_n will_v permit_v for_o the_o commodity_n of_o humane_a life_n for_o he_o inward_a glory_n and_o triumph_v of_o mind_n that_o a_o man_n may_v have_v for_o the_o master_v of_o some_o difficult_a and_o doubtful_a matter_n or_o for_o the_o discovery_n of_o some_o hide_a truth_n be_v not_o worth_a so_o much_o pain_n as_o the_o study_n of_o philosophy_n require_v nor_o need_v any_o man_n care_n much_o to_o teach_v another_o what_o he_o know_v himself_o if_o he_o think_v that_o will_v be_v the_o only_a benefit_n of_o his_o labour_n the_o end_n of_o knowledge_n be_v power_n and_o the_o use_n of_o theorem_n which_o among_o geometrician_n serve_v for_o the_o find_v out_o of_o property_n be_v for_o the_o construction_n of_o problem_n and_o last_o the_o scope_n of_o all_o speculation_n be_v the_o perform_n of_o some_o action_n or_o thing_n to_o be_v do_v 7_o but_o what_o the_o utility_n of_o philosophy_n be_v especial_o of_o natural_a philosophy_n and_o geometry_n will_v be_v best_a understand_v by_o reckon_v up_o the_o chief_a commodity_n of_o which_o mankind_n be_v capable_a and_o by_o compare_v the_o manner_n of_o life_n of_o such_o as_o enjoy_v they_o with_o that_o of_o other_o which_o want_v the_o same_o now_o the_o great_a commodity_n of_o mankind_n be_v the_o art_n namely_o of_o measure_v matter_n and_o motion_n of_o move_v ponderous_a body_n of_o architecture_n of_o navigation_n of_o make_v instrument_n for_o all_o use_n of_o calculate_v the_o celestial_a motion_n the_o aspect_n of_o the_o star_n and_o the_o part_n of_o time_n of_o geography_n etc._n etc._n by_o which_o science_n how_o great_a benefit_n man_n receive_v be_v more_o easy_o understand_v then_o express_v these_o benefit_n be_v enjoy_v by_o almost_o all_o the_o people_n of_o europe_n by_o most_o of_o those_o of_o asia_n and_o by_o some_o of_o africa_n but_o the_o american_n and_o they_o that_o live_v near_o the_o pole_n do_v total_o want_v they_o but_o why_o have_v they_o sharp_a wit_n than_o these_o have_v not_o all_o man_n one_o kind_n of_o soul_n and_o the_o same_o faculty_n of_o mind_n what_o then_o make_v this_o difference_n except_o philosophy_n philosophy_n therefore_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o all_o these_o benefit_n but_o the_o utility_n of_o moral_a and_o civil_a philosophy_n be_v to_o be_v estimate_v not_o so_o much_o by_o the_o commodity_n we_o have_v by_o know_v these_o science_n as_o by_o the_o calamity_n we_o receive_v from_o not_o know_v they_o now_o all_o such_o calamity_n as_o may_v be_v avoid_v by_o humane_a industry_n arise_v from_o war_n but_o chief_o from_o civil_a war_n for_o from_o this_o proceed_v slaughter_n solitude_n and_o the_o want_n of_o all_o thing_n but_o the_o cause_n of_o war_n be_v not_o that_o man_n be_v willing_a to_o have_v it_o for_o the_o will_n have_v nothing_o for_o object_n but_o good_a at_o least_o that_o which_o seem_v good_a nor_o be_v it_o from_o this_o that_o man_n know_v not_o that_o the_o effect_n of_o war_n be_v evil_a for_o who_o be_v there_o that_o think_v not_o poverty_n and_o loss_n of_o life_n to_o be_v great_a evil_n the_o cause_n therefore_o of_o civil_a war_n be_v that_o man_n know_v not_o the_o cause_n neither_o of_o war_n nor_o peace_n there_o be_v but_o few_o in_o the_o world_n that_o have_v learn_v those_o duty_n which_o unite_v and_o keep_v man_n in_o peace_n that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o have_v learn_v the_o rule_n of_o civil_a life_n sufficient_o now_o the_o knowledge_n of_o these_o rule_n be_v moral_a philosophy_n but_o why_o have_v they_o not_o learn_v they_o unless_o for_o this_o reason_n that_o none_o hitherto_o have_v teach_v they_o in_o a_o clear_a and_o exact_a method_n for_o what_o shall_v we_o say_v can_v the_o ancient_a master_n of_o greece_n egypt_n rome_n and_o other_o persuade_v the_o unskillful_a multitude_n to_o their_o innumerable_a opinion_n concern_v the_o nature_n of_o their_o god_n which_o they_o themselves_o know_v not_o whether_o they_o be_v true_a or_o false_a and_o which_o be_v indeed_o manifest_o false_a &_o absurd_a &_o can_v they_o not_o persuade_v the_o same_o multitude_n to_o civil_a duty_n if_o they_o themselves_o have_v understand_v it_o or_o shall_v those_o few_o write_n of_o geometrician_n which_o be_v extant_a be_v think_v sufficient_a for_o the_o take_v away_o of_o all_o controversy_n in_o the_o matter_n they_o treat_v of_o and_o shall_v those_o innumerable_a and_o huge_a volume_n of_o ethic_n be_v think_v unsufficient_a if_o what_o they_o teach_v have_v be_v certain_a and_o well_o demonstrate_v what_o then_o can_v be_v imagine_v to_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o the_o write_n of_o those_o man_n have_v increase_v science_n and_o the_o write_n of_o these_o have_v increase_v nothing_o but_o word_n save_v that_o the_o former_a be_v write_v by_o man_n that_o know_v and_o the_o late_a by_o such_o as_o know_v not_o the_o doctrine_n they_o teach_v only_o for_o ostentation_n of_o their_o wit_n and_o eloquence_n nevertheless_o i_o deny_v not_o but_o the_o read_n of_o some_o such_o book_n be_v very_o delightful_a for_o they_o be_v most_o eloquent_o write_v and_o contain_v many_o clear_a wholesome_a and_o choice_a sentence_n which_o yet_o be_v not_o universal_o true_a though_o by_o they_o universal_o pronounce_v from_o whence_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o the_o circumstance_n of_o time_n place_n and_o person_n be_v change_v they_o be_v no_o less_o frequent_o make_v use_n of_o to_o confirm_v wicked_a man_n in_o their_o purpose_n then_o to_o make_v they_o understand_v the_o precept_n of_o civil_a duty_n now_o that_o which_o be_v chief_o want_v in_o they_o be_v a_o true_a and_o certain_a rule_n of_o our_o action_n by_o which_o we_o may_v know_v whether_o that_o we_o undertake_v be_v just_a or_o unjust_a for_o it_o be_v to_o no_o purpose_n to_o be_v bid_v in_o every_o thing_n to_o do_v right_o before_o there_o be_v a_o certain_a rule_n and_o measure_n of_o right_o establish_v which_o no_o man_n hitherto_o have_v establish_v see_v therefore_o from_o the_o not_o know_v of_o civil_a duty_n that_o be_v from_o the_o want_n of_o moral_a science_n proceed_v civil_a war_n and_o the_o great_a calamity_n of_o mankind_n we_o may_v very_o well_o attribute_n to_o
