we_o have_v say_v it_o appearth_n that_o those_o affection_n will_v eternal_o remain_v in_o the_o soul_n and_o that_o after_o the_o separation_n of_o it_o from_o the_o body_n they_o can_v never_o be_v blot_v out_o of_o it_o or_o change_v and_o the_o affection_n of_o a_o separate_a soul_n be_v much_o more_o ardent_a and_o vehement_a then_o while_o it_o be_v in_o the_o body_n but_o it_o be_v impossible_a they_o shall_v ever_o attain_v in_o that_o state_n to_o the_o fruition_n of_o what_o they_o so_o violent_o covet_v and_o love_n and_o yet_o for_o its_o sake_n they_o neglect_v all_o other_o good_n whatsoever_o that_o they_o may_v have_v who_o beauty_n and_o excellency_n notwithstanding_o they_o plain_o discern_v they_o can_v choose_v therefore_o but_o execrate_v themselves_o for_o their_o fond_o misplace_v yet_o then_o eternal_o necessary_a affection_n and_o pine_v away_o if_o so_o i_o may_v say_v with_o perpetual_a anguish_n and_o despair_n of_o what_o they_o so_o impatient_o and_o enraged_o desire_v and_o never_o can_v obtain_v 6._o the_o sixth_o consideration_n shall_v be_v that_o to_o be_v happy_a in_o the_o next_o life_n one_o must_v not_o settle_v their_o predominant_a affection_n upon_o any_o creature_n whatsoever_o or_o any_o good_a that_o we_o can_v natural_o attain_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o in_o this_o life_n for_o what_o natural_a good_a soever_o we_o love_v or_o enjoy_v here_o we_o must_v by_o death_n be_v divorce_v from_o and_o as_o we_o have_v say_v before_o that_o separation_n will_v cause_v perpetual_a sorrow_n because_o the_o affection_n remain_v unchangeable_a and_o although_o we_o shall_v place_v our_o felicity_n in_o natural_a knowledge_n or_o any_o other_o intellectual_a good_a whatsoever_o yet_o that_o can_v satisfy_v the_o desire_n and_o fill_v the_o capacity_n of_o the_o soul_n though_o it_o be_v never_o so_o perfect_o enjoy_v for_o they_o be_v infinite_a and_o this_o can_v be_v collect_v but_o out_o of_o particular_a object_n for_o the_o whole_a create_a universe_n be_v but_o so_o and_o therefore_o they_o hold_v no_o proportion_n together_o but_o the_o soul_n have_v nothing_o else_o to_o fill_v it_o withal_o although_o it_o shall_v not_o be_v torment_v with_o the_o former_a mention_v corrosive_n of_o preposterous_a affection_n yet_o it_o can_v be_v at_o rest_n and_o quiet_a and_o the_o thirst_n of_o it_o satisfy_v by_o that_o drop_n of_o water_n in_o comparison_n of_o the_o vehement_a ardour_n of_o it_o and_o thus_o it_o follow_v that_o either_o man_n be_v not_o create_v for_o a_o determinate_a end_n and_o for_o a_o state_n convenient_a for_o his_o nature_n and_o able_a to_o satisfy_v the_o original_a appetence_n of_o his_o soul_n or_o at_o the_o least_o no_o man_n can_v by_o natural_a mean_n arrive_v to_o the_o end_n and_o period_n of_o happiness_n 7._o but_o now_o to_o proceed_v in_o the_o pursuance_n of_o this_o method_n of_o reason_v and_o to_o follow_v hence_o forward_o the_o conduct_n of_o a_o supernatural_a guide_n since_o nature_n quit_v we_o here_o have_v lead_v we_o on_o as_o long_o as_o she_o be_v able_a to_o see_v we_o may_v in_o the_o seven_o place_n consider_v that_o god_n when_o he_o create_v man_n do_v not_o assign_v he_o to_o remain_v in_o the_o state_n of_o pure_a nature_n but_o do_v out_o of_o his_o goodness_n and_o liberality_n confer_v something_o upon_o he_o that_o exceed_v the_o sphere_n of_o his_o nature_n for_o else_o the_o first_o part_n of_o the_o precedent_a consequence_n will_v follow_v which_o be_v not_o only_o impious_a but_o absurd_a to_o say_v to_o whosoever_o consider_v the_o infinite_a goodness_n wisdom_n and_o omnipotency_n of_o god_n for_o as_o heat_n be_v essential_a to_o fire_n can_v but_o produce_v

that_o good_a which_o the_o nature_n of_o it_o be_v capable_a of_o whether_o by_o natural_a or_o supernatural_a mean_n and_o his_o wisdom_n can_v ready_o contrive_v the_o mean_n to_o bring_v that_o to_o pass_v which_o his_o goodness_n dispose_v he_o to_o do_v and_o his_o omnipotency_n as_o easy_o act_v what_o his_o other_o two_o atribute_n have_v project_v so_o that_o there_o want_v a_o infinite_a object_n to_o satisfy_v the_o infinite_a capacity_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o without_o which_o she_o must_v be_v eternal_o misefable_a it_o remain_v that_o he_o who_o give_v that_o capacity_n must_v also_o afford_v the_o object_n &_o assign_v mean_n how_o to_o compass_v &_o gain_v it_o all_o which_o we_o have_v already_o prove_v be_v out_o of_o the_o reach_n of_o nature_n to_o discern_v and_o therefore_o it_o follow_v of_o consequence_n that_o the_o author_n of_o nature_n must_v endow_v man_n with_o some_o supernatural_a gift_n if_o he_o be_v in_o a_o fit_a disposition_n to_o receive_v they_o which_o may_v bring_v he_o to_o the_o supernatural_a end_n he_o be_v create_v for_o 8._o our_o eight_o conclusion_n shall_v be_v that_o of_o these_o supernatural_a gift_n the_o first_o and_o the_o ground_n and_o foundation_n of_o all_o the_o rest_n be_v faith_n for_o we_o have_v already_o determine_v that_o we_o can_v by_o any_o natural_a mean_n attain_v to_o the_o

action_n to_o gain_v the_o fruition_n of_o that_o object_n therefore_o there_o be_v no_o way_n leave_v to_o compass_v this_o but_o by_o the_o instruction_n and_o discipline_n of_o some_o master_n who_o goodness_n and_o knowledge_n we_o can_v no_o way_n doubt_v of_o by_o which_o two_o perfection_n in_o he_o we_o may_v be_v secure_a that_o he_o neither_o can_v be_v deceive_v himself_o nor_o will_v deceive_v we_o now_o the_o doctrine_n that_o such_o a_o master_n shall_v teach_v we_o for_o such_o a_o end_n we_o call_v faith_n 9_o in_o the_o nine_o place_n we_o must_v determine_v that_o this_o master_n must_v be_v god_n and_o man_n for_o first_o by_o our_o discourse_n upon_o natural_a principle_n we_o have_v prove_v that_o to_o avoid_v misery_n in_o the_o next_o life_n we_o must_v
