accustom_v ourselves_o by_o admire_v the_o structure_n of_o our_o body_n to_o consider_v that_o it_o be_v make_v by_o a_o incomparable_a workman_n who_o be_v inimitable_a beside_o if_o we_o be_v convince_v that_o the_o union_n of_o the_o body_n and_o soul_n proceed_v only_o from_o the_o perfect_a correspondence_n which_o god_n have_v establish_v between_o the_o different_a change_n of_o the_o brain_n and_o the_o different_a thought_n of_o the_o soul_n we_o ought_v not_o to_o wonder_v that_o the_o one_o act_n so_o easy_o upon_o the_o other_o and_o that_o their_o action_n do_v always_o accompany_v one_o another_o so_o well_o as_o long_o as_o god_n almighty_n preserve_v their_o union_n but_o in_o regard_n that_o this_o be_v one_o of_o the_o most_o important_a verity_n that_o can_v fall_v under_o consideration_n it_o will_v not_o be_v amiss_o for_o the_o open_n of_o all_o the_o difficulty_n thereof_o to_o observe_v that_o there_o be_v three_o kind_n of_o correspondency_n between_o the_o soul_n and_o the_o body_n the_o first_o be_v natural_a and_o th●t_o be_v that_o necessary_a correspondence_n by_o which_o certain_a sensation_n rise_v always_o in_o the_o soul_n when_o certain_a motion_n be_v excite_v in_o the_o brain_n as_o motion_n be_v excite_v in_o the_o body_n when_o the_o soul_n have_v a_o will_n to_o it_o and_o this_o correspondence_n can_v absolute_o cease_v but_o with_o our_o life_n and_o that_o which_o whole_o change_v it_o cause_v death_n beside_o this_o there_o be_v a_o second_o correspondence_n betwixt_o the_o idea_n the_o soul_n have_v of_o thing_n and_o the_o impression_n which_o those_o thing_n leave_v in_o the_o brain_n this_o correspondence_n no_o more_o than_o the_o first_o can_v change_v altogether_o and_o whilst_o the_o soul_n be_v unite_v to_o the_o body_n she_o never_o have_v the_o idea_n of_o thing_n corporeal_a but_o their_o impression_n be_v in_o the_o brain_n but_o there_o be_v a_o three_o correspondence_n between_o the_o name_n of_o every_o thing_n and_o its_o idea_n which_o be_v only_o by_o institution_n may_v be_v change_v but_o yet_o in_o regard_n the_o sound_n of_o the_o first_o name_n man_n give_v to_o a_o thing_n be_v a_o sensation_n which_o the_o soul_n strict_o join_v to_o the_o idea_n of_o that_o thing_n and_o since_o also_o the_o impression_n of_o that_o name_n be_v find_v join_v to_o that_o of_o the_o thing_n in_o the_o brain_n we_o find_v it_o a_o trouble_n to_o sever_v they_o whence_o it_o be_v that_o when_o we_o begin_v to_o learn_v a_o language_n we_o common_o explain_v by_o the_o first_o word_n by_o which_o we_o name_v a_o thing_n the_o new_a word_n by_o which_o we_o intend_v to_o understand_v it_o in_o the_o tongue_n we_o be_v learning_n and_o there_o be_v even_o such_o who_o brain_n be_v so_o dispose_v that_o when_o they_o learn_v a_o new_a language_n they_o always_o join_v to_o the_o word_n of_o that_o which_o they_o already_o know_v the_o word_n of_o the_o second_o to_o represent_v to_o themselves_o what_o they_o signify_v other_o that_o have_v another_o disposition_n of_o the_o brain_n do_v so_o easy_o join_v the_o sound_n of_o a_o new_a word_n in_o itself_o to_o the_o idea_n of_o the_o thing_n that_o that_o idea_n be_v equal_o represent_v to_o they_o by_o the_o two_o word_n and_o they_o not_o oblige_v to_o think_v on_o the_o one_o to_o understand_v the_o other_o thus_o one_o may_v so_o well_o join_v one_o and_o the_o same_o thought_n to_o many_o sign_n and_o to_o word_n of_o different_a language_n that_o one_o may_v with_o a_o equal_a facility_n use_v both_o to_o express_v it_o but_o with_o a_o very_a little_a consideration_n we_o may_v easy_o judge_v by_o the_o pain_n we_o find_v in_o the_o beginning_n to_o join_v the_o word_n of_o a_o new_a tongue_n to_o the_o image_n of_o every_o thing_n by_o the_o necessity_n we_o be_v in_o to_o join_v the_o image_n of_o a_o new_a word_n to_o that_o of_o a_o old_a which_o make_v it_o to_o be_v understand_v and_o even_o by_o the_o pain_n we_o experience_n in_o pronounce_v those_o we_o learn_v that_o speech_n indeed_o depend_v upon_o the_o relation_n and_o correspondency_n of_o many_o thing_n and_o that_o if_o afterward_o it_o become_v easy_a it_o be_v only_o from_o the_o excellent_a composition_n of_o the_o brain_n and_o the_o admirable_a commerce_n between_o its_o motion_n and_o our_o thought_n for_o the_o rest_n i_o think_v if_o the_o soul_n be_v oblige_v whilst_o she_o be_v unite_v to_o the_o body_n to_o join_v her_o thought_n to_o word_n which_o can_v be_v hear_v nor_o form_v without_o the_o organ_n of_o the_o tongue_n and_o the_o ear_n she_o may_v if_o that_o union_n cease_v much_o more_o easy_o discover_v to_o every_o other_o spirit_n what_o she_o do_v think_v and_o true_o if_o it_o be_v a_o pain_n to_o he_o that_o examine_v it_o to_o conceive_v how_o the_o thought_n of_o a_o man_n that_o speak_v be_v join_v to_o the_o motion_n of_o his_o brain_n and_o the_o motion_n of_o his_o brain_n to_o those_o of_o the_o part_n serve_v for_o the_o voice_n if_o it_o be_v difficult_a to_o comprehend_v how_o that_o voice_n which_o be_v nothing_o but_o air_n agitate_a strike_v the_o ear_n and_o be_v able_a by_o move_v the_o brain_n to_o excite_v in_o his_o soul_n that_o hear_v the_o sound_n of_o the_o word_n the_o idea_n of_o the_o thing_n signify_v by_o they_o if_o that_o i_o say_v be_v so_o hard_a to_o conceive_v because_o we_o know_v there_o be_v so_o strange_a a_o difference_n between_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o that_o of_o the_o body_n we_o can_v but_o easy_o comprehend_v that_o if_o two_o spirit_n be_v not_o unite_v to_o body_n they_o will_v find_v less_o difficulty_n to_o discover_v to_o one_o another_o their_o thought_n in_o regard_n there_o be_v natural_o much_o more_o proportion_n between_o the_o thought_n of_o two_o like_a spirit_n than_o between_o the_o thought_n and_o the_o motion_n of_o two_o body_n and_o upon_o the_o least_o reflection_n make_v on_o the_o facility_n and_o clearness_n with_o which_o one_o man_n conceive_v the_o thought_n of_o another_o by_o speech_n we_o shall_v avow_v that_o a_o soul_n may_v incomparable_o more_o clear_o and_o more_o easy_o conceive_v the_o thought_n of_o another_o spirit_n if_o both_o of_o they_o depend_v not_o from_o the_o organ_n of_o the_o body_n for_o a_o spirit_n sure_o shall_v more_o easy_o apprehend_v a_o thought_n which_o be_v a_o thing_n spiritual_a than_o the_o sign_n of_o that_o thought_n sign_n be_v thing_n corporeal_a thus_o i_o esteem_v that_o it_o be_v much_o more_o natural_a for_o spirit_n to_o manifest_v or_o to_o communicate_v to_o one_o another_o their_o thought_n in_o themselves_o and_o without_o any_o sign_n than_o to_o speak_v to_o one_o another_o that_o be_v to_o communicate_v their_o thought_n by_o sign_n that_o be_v of_o a_o nature_n so_o different_a from_o that_o of_o thought_n the_o pain_n also_o which_o every_o one_o find_v in_o conversation_n and_o on_o all_o occasion_n where_o man_n impart_v their_o thought_n by_o sign_n or_o speech_n be_v not_o to_o comprehend_v what_o another_o think_v but_o to_o extricate_v his_o thought_n from_o the_o sign_n or_o word_n which_o often_o agree_v not_o with_o it_o it_o be_v also_o the_o ignorance_n of_o the_o sign_n and_o word_n that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o man_n breed_v in_o different_a country_n be_v a_o long_a while_n together_o without_o be_v able_a to_o understand_v one_o another_o but_o as_o soon_o as_o acquaintance_n have_v afford_v they_o all_o what_o be_v requisite_a ready_o to_o unfold_v what_o every_o sign_n or_o word_n mean_n they_o find_v no_o more_o trouble_n to_o conceive_v their_o thought_n of_o how_o different_a nation_n soever_o they_o be_v which_o evident_o show_v that_o man_n understand_v one_o another_o natural_o that_o the_o thought_n of_o one_o be_v always_o clear_a to_o another_o as_o soon_o as_o he_o can_v perceive_v it_o and_o that_o if_o there_o be_v man_n who_o conceive_v better_a than_o other_o what_o be_v say_v that_o facility_n of_o understanding_n come_v from_o the_o structure_n of_o their_o brain_n which_o be_v so_o dispose_v as_o that_o the_o impression_n i_o have_v speak_v of_o be_v there_o more_o easy_o receive_v better_o range_v and_o more_o distinct_o mark_v make_v the_o thought_n answer_v thereto_o to_o be_v also_o more_o easy_a more_o consequent_a and_o more_o clear_a whereas_o those_o who_o want_v that_o good_a conformation_n and_o disposition_n of_o the_o brain_n must_v needs_o be_v slow_a in_o conceive_v by_o reason_n of_o that_o necessary_a correspondence_n and_o relation_n between_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o brain_n and_o the_o thought_n of_o the_o soul_n whilst_o she_o remain_v unite_v to_o the_o body_n but_o who_o see_v not_o that_o that_o entanglement_n will_v cease_v if_o the_o soul_n be_v separate_v from_o
