but_o consider_v the_o vast_a use_n and_o necessary_a occasion_n of_o speak_v on_o the_o one_o side_n and_o hear_v on_o the_o other_o among_o those_o creature_n that_o make_v use_v of_o their_o

be_v a_o question_n with_o many_o whether_o there_o may_v not_o have_v be_v more_o sense_n than_o those_o five_o if_o we_o shall_v allow_v this_o we_o their_o sense_n not_o very_o different_a from_o we_o it_o may_v nevertheless_o be_v reasonable_o doubt_v whether_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o planetary_a inhabitant_n be_v much_o different_a from_o we_o i_o must_v confess_v i_o can_v deny_v but_o there_o may_v possible_o have_v be_v more_o sense_n but_o when_o i_o consider_v the_o use_v of_o those_o we_o have_v i_o can_v think_v but_o they_o will_v have_v be_v superfluous_a the_o eye_n be_v

neither_o the_o eye_n nor_o the_o ear_n can_v the_o nose_n be_v make_v which_o in_o dog_n be_v wonderful_o nice_a to_o warn_v we_o of_o and_o what_o escape_v the_o notice_n of_o the_o other_o four_o sense_n we_o have_v feel_v to_o inform_v we_o of_o the_o too_o near_a approach_n of_o before_o it_o can_v do_v we_o any_o mischief_n thus_o have_v nature_n so_o plentiful_o so_o perfect_o provide_v for_o the_o necessary_a preservation_n of_o her_o creature_n here_o that_o i_o think_v she_o can_v give_v nothing_o more_o to_o those_o there_o but_o what_o will_v be_v needless_a and_o superfluous_a yet_o the_o sense_n be_v not_o whole_o design_v for_o use_v but_o man_n from_o all_o and_o all_o other_o animal_n from_o some_o of_o they_o reap_v pleasure_n as_o well_o as_o profit_n as_o from_o the_o taste_n in_o delicious_a meat_n from_o the_o smell_n in_o flower_n and_o perfume_n from_o the_o sight_n in_o the_o contemplation_n of_o beauteous_a shape_v and_o colour_n from_o the_o hear_n in_o the_o sweetness_n and_o harmony_n of_o sound_n from_o the_o feel_n in_o venery_n unless_o you_o please_v to_o count_v that_o for_o a_o particular_a sense_n by_o itself_o since_o it_o be_v thus_o sense_n they_o have_v pleasure_n arise_v from_o the_o sense_n i_o think_v it_o be_v but_o reasonable_a to_o allow_v the_o inhabitant_n of_o the_o planet_n these_o same_o advantage_n that_o we_o have_v from_o they_o for_o upon_o this_o consideration_n only_o how_o much_o happy_a and_o easy_a a_o man_n life_n be_v render_v by_o the_o enjoyment_n of_o they_o we_o must_v be_v oblige_v to_o grant_v they_o these_o blessing_n except_o we_o will_v engross_v every_o thing_n that_o be_v good_a to_o ourselves_o as_o if_o we_o be_v worthy_a and_o more_o deserve_a than_o any_o else_o but_o moreover_o that_o pleasure_n which_o we_o perceive_v in_o eat_v or_o in_o copulation_n seem_v to_o be_v a_o necessary_a and_o provident_a command_n of_o nature_n whereby_o it_o tacit_o compel_v we_o to_o the_o preservation_n and_o continuance_n of_o our_o life_n and_o kind_a it_o be_v the_o same_o in_o beast_n so_o that_o both_o for_o their_o happiness_n and_o preservation_n it_o be_v very_o probable_a the_o rest_n of_o the_o planet_n be_v not_o without_o it_o certain_o when_o i_o consider_v all_o these_o thing_n how_o great_a noble_a and_o useful_a they_o be_v when_o i_o consider_v what_o a_o admirable_a providence_n it_o be_v that_o there_o be_v such_o a_o thing_n as_o pleasure_n in_o the_o world_n i_o can_v but_o think_v that_o our_o earth_n the_o small_a part_n almost_o of_o the_o universe_n be_v never_o design_v to_o monopolise_v so_o great_a a_o blessing_n and_o thus_o much_o for_o those_o pleasure_n which_o affect_v our_o bodily_a sense_n but_o have_v little_a or_o no_o relation_n to_o our_o reason_n and_o mind_n but_o there_o be_v other_o pleasure_n which_o man_n enjoy_v which_o their_o soul_n only_o and_o reason_n can_v relish_v some_o airy_a and_o brisk_a other_o grave_a and_o solid_a and_o yet_o nevertheless_o pleasure_n as_o arise_v from_o the_o satisfaction_n which_o we_o feel_v in_o knowledge_n and_o invention_n and_o search_v after_o truth_n of_o which_o whether_o the_o planetary_a inhabitant_n be_v not_o partaker_n we_o shall_v have_v a_o opportunity_n of_o inquire_v by_o and_o by_o there_o be_v some_o other_o thing_n to_o be_v consider_v first_o in_o which_o it_o be_v probable_a they_o have_v some_o relation_n to_o we_o that_o the_o planet_n have_v those_o element_n of_o earth_n air_n and_o water_n as_o well_o as_o we_o i_o have_v already_o make_v not_o unlikely_a let_v we_o now_o see_v whether_o they_o may_v not_o have_v fire_n too_o which_o be_v not_o so_o proper_o call_v a_o element_n as_o a_o rapid_a motion_n of_o the_o particle_n in_o the_o inflammable_a body_n but_o be_v it_o what_o it_o will_v there_o be_v many_o

that_o there_o must_v be_v plant_n in_o they_o as_o well_o for_o ornament_n as_o use_v we_o have_v show_v just_a now_o and_o what_o nourishment_n what_o manner_n of_o growth_n shall_v we_o allow_v
