whatever_o else_o we_o want_v nor_o in_o the_o absence_n happy_a or_o well_o whatever_o beside_o we_o possess_v indeed_o there_o be_v no_o taste_n or_o relish_v no_o comfort_n or_o delight_n in_o any_o worldly_a good_a where_o health_n be_v want_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v by_o all_o man_n high_o value_v and_o purchase_v at_o the_o dear_a rate_n as_o bishop_n wilkins_n well_o observe_v health_n be_v such_o a_o just_a temper_n and_o constitution_n of_o all_o the_o part_n of_o the_o body_n both_o solid_a and_o fluid_a as_o may_v enable_v the_o several_a member_n and_o faculty_n due_o

neither_o say_v he_o do_v his_o reason_n seem_v to_o i_o absurd_a viz._n that_o man_n be_v compound_v of_o two_o part_n soul_n and_o body_n of_o which_o the_o first_o be_v the_o better_a the_o latter_a the_o worser_o the_o great_a good_n must_v be_v the_o best_a thing_n belong_v to_o the_o better_a part_n that_o be_v wisdom_n and_o the_o great_a evil_n the_o worst_a thing_n belong_v to_o the_o worse_a part_n that_o be_v pain_n whether_o this_o reason_n be_v solid_a and_o conclusive_a let_v other_o judge_n but_o i_o full_o agree_v with_o he_o in_o the_o assertion_n that_o of_o all_o evil_n we_o be_v sensible_a of_o in_o this_o world_n bodily_a pain_n be_v the_o sore_a it_o drown_v as_o i_o may_v so_o say_v and_o take_v away_o the_o sense_n of_o all_o other_o evil_n and_o whole_o possess_v the_o soul_n it_o be_v such_o a_o afflictive_a and_o torment_a passion_n such_o a_o vulture_n or_o tiger_n tear_v and_o gnaw_v upon_o the_o soul_n so_o abhorrent_n to_o humane_a nature_n that_o a_o excessive_a degree_n of_o it_o must_v needs_o make_v a_o man_n miserable_a and_o unhappy_a unless_o we_o can_v reconcile_v and_o unite_v extreme_n the_o great_a evil_n that_o man_n be_v capable_a of_o suffer_v with_o the_o great_a good_a he_o can_v enjoy_v hence_o the_o torment_n of_o hell_n be_v every_o where_n in_o scripture_n set_v forth_o by_o consume_a fire_n unquenchable_a fire_n everlasting_a burn_n and_o hell_n itself_o call_v a_o lake_n of_o fire_n a_o lake_n which_o burn_v with_o fire_n and_o brimstone_n because_o fire_n produce_v the_o great_a bodily_a pain_n than_o which_o nothing_o be_v more_o terrible_a to_o humane_a nature_n and_o more_o likely_a to_o affright_v man_n from_o sin_n on_o the_o contrary_a st_o john_n in_o his_o revelation_n consider_v

vaunt_n of_o the_o proud_a stoic_n who_o boast_v that_o their_o wise_a man_n be_v happy_a in_o phalaris_n his_o bull_n who_o 52._o who_o epist_n 52._o st._n augustine_n thus_o smart_o and_o ingenious_o check_v and_o confute_v if_o life_n may_v be_v happy_a in_o extreme_a bodily_a torment_n why_o do_v they_o advise_v a_o man_n afflict_v with_o the_o most_o grievous_a pain_n to_o depart_v out_o of_o it_o why_o do_v not_o their_o wiseman_n rather_o continue_v in_o it_o that_o he_o may_v enjoy_v the_o happiness_n of_o it_o be_v a_o happy_a life_n to_o be_v forsake_v and_o flee_v from_o but_o if_o such_o a_o life_n be_v real_o miserable_a what_o else_o but_o pride_n hinder_v they_o from_o confess_v it_o to_o be_v so_o you_o will_v say_v do_v not_o the_o holy_a martyr_n endure_v the_o great_a bodily_a torment_n with_o invincible_a patience_n yea_o some_o of_o they_o with_o joy_n and_o exultation_n i_o answer_v it_o be_v true_a indeed_o they_o do_v so_o but_o then_o i_o suppose_v that_o as_o their_o temptation_n and_o suffering_n be_v extraordinary_a so_o they_o be_v extraordinary_o support_v under_o they_o and_o that_o god_n as_o the_o apostle_n say_v do_v not_o suffer_v they_o to_o be_v tempt_v above_o what_o he_o enable_v they_o to_o bear_v it_o seem_v to_o i_o most_o likely_a that_o he_o do_v quite_o take_v away_o or_o very_o much_o mitigate_v the_o sense_n of_o
