another_o mode_n of_o expression_n than_o our_o other_o thought_n which_o spring_v only_o from_o the_o cool_a debate_n of_o reason_n and_o argument_n if_o you_o question_v this_o i_o appeal_v only_o to_o the_o most_o natural_a impression_n of_o any_o passion_n and_o whether_o nature_n herself_o discover_v no_o sensible_a difference_n when_o she_o express_v herself_o in_o a_o passionate_a way_n as_o suppose_v now_o in_o a_o most_o violent_a transport_v of_o anger_n and_o can_v you_o easy_o by_o the_o very_a face_n discern_v what_o pass_v in_o the_o soul_n of_o a_o furious_a man_n observe_v the_o fire_n the_o very_a sparkle_a of_o his_o eye_n the_o wrinkle_n of_o his_o brow_n the_o most_o sudden_a change_n of_o his_o countenance_n the_o mighty_a eagerness_n and_o the_o hesitation_n of_o his_o word_n be_v not_o these_o the_o natural_a expression_n of_o this_o angry_a passion_n which_o give_v we_o notice_n of_o the_o most_o disorderly_a motion_n of_o our_o spirit_n and_o that_o the_o very_a stream_n of_o our_o thought_n be_v in_o a_o most_o violent_a and_o rapid_a motion_n and_o therefore_o to_o express_v this_o furious_a passion_n to_o the_o very_a life_n must_v there_o not_o be_v as_o great_a a_o alteration_n in_o all_o our_o word_n and_o phrase_n as_o there_o be_v in_o our_o very_a face_n and_o complexion_n and_o this_o be_v enough_o to_o show_v that_o this_o and_o every_o passion_n work_v very_o different_o upon_o our_o mind_n and_o require_v different_a expression_n and_o colour_n of_o speech_n to_o give_v it_o a_o sensible_a representation_n rhetoric_n then_o be_v a_o natural_a language_n and_o a_o necessary_a ornament_n of_o discourse_n and_o many_o a_o honest_a gentleman_n now_o and_o then_o stumble_v upon_o a_o trope_n or_o a_o figure_n who_o be_v never_o acquaint_v with_o mr._n butler_n or_o farnaby_n and_o much_o less_o with_o such_o profane_a author_n as_o aristotle_n or_o quinctilian_n and_o be_v not_o metaphor_n very_o frequent_a in_o holy_a scripture_n the_o prophet_n themselves_o seldom_o give_v we_o a_o description_n of_o the_o fury_n of_o god_n displeasure_n but_o they_o give_v he_o arm_n and_o hand_n and_o describe_v god_n prepare_v his_o mighty_a instrument_n of_o ruin_n his_o lightning_n and_o his_o thunder_n and_o by_o such_o formidable_a representation_n as_o these_o they_o work_v more_o powerful_o upon_o our_o mind_n and_o there_o create_v the_o deep_a impression_n of_o his_o almighty_a power_n but_o if_o rhetorical_a figure_n be_v as_o common_a as_o necessary_a must_v not_o that_o man_n be_v very_o ridiculous_a who_o examine_v every_o thing_n in_o a_o strict_a and_o literal_a sense_n what_o strange_a what_o mighty_a inconsistent_a notion_n must_v they_o then_o conceive_v of_o god_n himself_o or_o of_o his_o divine_a attribute_n what_o gross_a and_o very_a absurd_a idea_n of_o his_o infinite_a power_n if_o they_o shall_v fancy_n god_n can_v accomplish_v the_o vengeance_n of_o his_o high_a displeasure_n without_o material_a organ_n without_o arm_n and_o leg_n must_v not_o such_o a_o man_n transform_v himself_o into_o any_o shape_n of_o error_n and_o delusion_n if_o he_o pretend_v to_o maintain_v the_o doctrine_n of_o literal_a explication_n must_v he_o not_o imbibe_n the_o false_a opinion_n of_o every_o sect_n as_o often_o as_o their_o pernicious_a error_n be_v sound_v upon_o a_o literal_a sense_n and_o meaning_n thus_o the_o quaker_n must_v become_v a_o roman_n catholic_n because_o according_a to_o his_o principle_n he_o must_v understand_v these_o word_n according_a to_o

at_o the_o least_o eventual_o if_o not_o design_o he_o will_v maintain_v the_o most_o absurd_a doctrine_n of_o transubstantiation_n and_o true_o perhaps_o their_o inward_a light_n may_v prove_v as_o dangerous_a and_o not_o so_o different_a from_o infallibility_n but_o i_o do_v not_o charge_v they_o as_o if_o literal_a exposition_n of_o scripture_n be_v their_o constant_a universal_a principle_n but_o if_o they_o expound_v any_o text_n literal_o though_o never_o so_o absurd_a and_o so_o contrary_a to_o other_o place_n of_o scripture_n they_o may_v as_o well_o explain_v other_o in_o the_o
