it_o be_v the_o lodging_n of_o the_o internal_a sense_n already_o name_v which_o be_v far_o more_o excellent_a and_o noble_a than_o the_o outward_a sense_n for_o if_o live_a creature_n and_o chief_o

choose_v or_o reject_v they_o as_o they_o may_v be_v either_o profitable_a or_o hurtful_a it_o will_v not_o be_v great_o profitable_a to_o have_v they_o present_v to_o the_o outward_a sense_n for_o this_o cause_n god_n have_v join_v unto_o they_o another_o faculty_n and_o virtue_n which_o be_v much_o more_o
for_o all_o these_o sense_n and_o virtue_n of_o man_n mind_n agree_v so_o well_o together_o that_o as_o the_o outward_a sense_n serve_v the_o common_a sense_n so_o the_o common_a sense_n serve_v

last_o memory_n serve_v they_o all_o as_o they_o also_o serve_v memory_n therefore_o it_o be_v not_o without_o the_o great_a wisdom_n &_o providence_n of_o god_n that_o the_o seat_n &_o shop_n thereof_o be_v in_o the_o hindermost_a part_n of_o the_o head_n because_o it_o must_v look_v to_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v past_a eye_n so_o that_o we_o have_v in_o that_o part_n as_o it_o be_v a_o spiritual_a eye_n which_o be_v much_o more_o excellent_a and_o profitable_a then_o if_o we_o have_v bodily_a eye_n there_o as_o we_o have_v before_o or_o else_o a_o face_n before_o and_o a_o other_o behind_o as_o the_o poet_n feign_v that_o janus_n have_v thus_o we_o may_v learn_v by_o our_o speech_n what_o reason_n be_v and_o the_o discourse_n thereof_o and_o how_o it_o cause_v the_o nature_n of_o man_n to_o approach_v in_o some_o sort_n to_o that_o nature_n which_o be_v divine_a and_o heavenly_a make_v man_n far_o to_o excel_v all_o other_o nature_n in_o the_o world_n for_o it_o go_v

the_o more_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v love_v so_o that_o every_o will_n shall_v desire_v to_o join_v itself_o thereunto_o to_o follow_v after_o it_o and_o to_o have_v the_o fruition_n thereof_o and_o

may_v be_v because_o there_o be_v none_o but_o in_o he_o and_o from_o he_o therefore_o this_o follow_v necessary_o that_o as_o all_o good_a thing_n proceed_v from_o he_o so_o they_o must_v be_v all_o
