when_o you_o arrive_v at_o the_o end_n be_v content_a therefore_o to_o be_v a_o jewel_n though_o sometime_o you_o lie_v neglect_v in_o the_o dust_n and_o to_o shine_v though_o none_o take_v notice_n of_o you_o it_o be_v a_o great_a thing_n to_o deserve_v to_o be_v a_o prince_n than_o to_o be_v one_o actual_o and_o he_o be_v indeed_o a_o king_n that_o reign_v over_o himself_o and_o his_o own_o

must_v be_v reward_v hereafter_o those_o internal_a blessing_n of_o peace_n and_o joy_n be_v its_o own_o and_z when_o it_o have_v no_o other_o reward_n in_o this_o world_n which_o be_v very_o seldom_o god_n take_v notice_n of_o it_o and_o his_o reward_n be_v with_o he_o and_o the_o great_a because_o defer_v and_o therefore_o upon_o the_o whole_a matter_n i_o must_v conclude_v that_o autarchy_n be_v the_o only_a way_n to_o true_a glory_n here_o and_o immortality_n hereafter_o §_o 12._o by_o this_o time_n you_o must_v confess_v that_o godliness_n and_o autarchy_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o the_o

be_v great_a as_o well_o as_o her_o inward_a her_o way_n be_v way_n of_o pleasantness_n and_o all_o her_o path_n be_v peace_n length_n of_o day_n be_v in_o her_o right_a hand_n and_o in_o her_o left_a

further_o add_v to_o its_o advantage_n that_o of_o outward_a peace_n with_o man_n for_o peace_n of_o mind_n be_v prove_v to_o be_v her_o gift_n in_o the_o last_o discourse_n the_o quiet_a i_o mean_v good_a will_n and_o neighbourhood_n she_o will_v settle_v in_o the_o world_n and_o the_o dissension_n she_o will_v banish_v out_o of_o it_o it_o will_v restore_v the_o terrestrial_a paradise_n again_o together_o with_o its_o pristine_a innocence_n and_o make_v that_o a_o tempel_n of_o god_n which_o be_v now_o become_v a_o den_n of_o thief_n it_o will_v cast_v out_o the_o devil_n of_o hatred_n and_o

humility_n to_o bring_v the_o frame_n of_o nature_n in_o order_n again_o thus_o it_o will_v make_v we_o all_o happy_a if_o we_o will_v accept_v of_o happiness_n and_o we_o shall_v while_o we_o live_v here_o have_v some_o fore-tastes_a of_o the_o felicity_n we_o be_v to_o receive_v hereafter_o these_o be_v some_o of_o the_o advantage_n of_o autarchy_n i_o may_v add_v many_o other_o and_o make_v

the_o promise_n make_v in_o the_o first_o of_o these_o essay_n and_o therefore_o after_o a_o brief_a review_n of_o the_o whole_a i_o will_v descend_v to_o the_o conclusion_n §_o 13._o you_o have_v hear_v therefore_o my_o studious_a dorotheus_n in_o the_o first_o paper_n the_o doctrine_n of_o autarchy_n explain_v together_o with_o the_o several_a rule_n of_o practice_n in_o the_o second_o i_o have_v i_o hope_v satisfy_v you_o that_o its_o pleasure_n be_v true_a substantial_a and_o durable_a whilst_o those_o of_o sensuality_n be_v delusive_a uncertain_a and_o unsatisfactory_a that_o its_o

last_o i_o have_v endeavour_v to_o show_v its_o outward_a advantage_n as_o health_n long_a life_n riches_n and_o honour_n in_o this_o world_n as_o well_o as_o eternal_a life_n in_o the_o world_n to_o come_v if_o it_o fail_v in_o any_o outward_a blessing_n it_o be_v but_o in_o order_n to_o a_o great_a it_o natural_o lead_v to_o they_o and_o if_o it_o sometime_o miss_v let_v not_o that_o be_v your_o discouragement_n food_n may_v by_o accident_n cause_n disease_n and_o that_o which_o be_v the_o mean_n of_o life_n cause_n death_n however_o it_o can_v fail_v of_o life_n with_o the_o ancient_n of_o

the_o same_o hunger_n and_o misery_n so_o voluptuousness_n leave_v we_o as_o empty_a as_o before_o and_o raise_v a_o great_a thirst_n than_o it_o allay_v nay_o more_o it_o be_v lose_v by_o usage_n and_o the_o poor_a delude_v loathe_v what_o he_o have_v admire_v what_o he_o have_v not_o be_v always_o to_o seek_v and_o be_v never_o satisfy_v he_o pursue_v a_o airy_a expectation_n and_o court_v a_o mistress_n that_o when_o once_o enjoy_v inspire_v he_o with_o new_a want_n and_o put_v he_o upon_o fresh_a quest_n and_o danger_n thus_o the_o slave_n to_o his_o own_o lust_n roll_z the_o stone_n of_o sisyphus_n and_o carry_v by_o the_o gyre_n of_o his_o untamed_a desire_n move_v a_o unconstant_a constant_a round_n till_o sickness_n or_o age_n disable_v he_o and_o death_n arrest_v he_o and_o

there_o be_v not_o a_o great_a cheat_n impose_v upon_o mortal_n or_o rather_o that_o they_o impose_v upon_o themselves_o and_o i_o will_v be_v bold_a to_o conclude_v that_o sin_n begin_v and_o proceed_v by_o delusion_n and_o end_n in_o misery_n that_o voluptuousness_n be_v a_o masque_n act_v by_o fury_n in_o disguise_n which_o towards_o the_o end_n they_o throw_v off_o and_o appear_v in_o their_o proper_a shape_n for_o this_o be_v the_o true_a end_n of_o all_o sinful_a enjoyment_n which_o i_o must_v next_o demonstrate_v §_o 12._o there_o be_v a_o way_n that_o seem_v right_a unto_o a_o

in_o this_o life_n sin_n bring_v forth_o shame_v and_o sorrow_n and_o forbid_a enjoyment_n tend_v to_o the_o destruction_n of_o that_o body_n they_o be_v bring_v to_o gratify_v thus_o intemperance_n weaken_v the_o appetite_n and_o consequent_o the_o body_n thus_o lust_n incite_v ammon_n even_o to_o incest_n and_o then_o to_o hate_v even_o to_o death_n till_o drunkenness_n and_o the_o sword_n of_o absalon_n have_v cut_v he_o off_o and_o so_o put_v a_o end_n to_o both_o passion_n and_o as_o sin_n at_o last_o bring_v a_o dismal_a catastrophe_n upon_o itself_o so_o each_o crime_n have_v its_o particular_a nemesis_n even_o in_o our_o own_o conscience_n and_o i_o dare_v appeal_n to_o experience_n whether_o when_o a_o man_n passion_n be_v over_o and_o he_o be_v at_o leisure_n to_o consider_v calm_o what_o he_o have_v do_v he_o feel_v not_o shame_n invade_v he_o and_o a_o natural_a horror_n dart_n through_o his_o soul_n whether_o he_o do_v not_o run_v as_o it_o be_v from_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n as_o adam_n his_o forefather_n do_v as_o ashamed_a of_o his_o nakedness_n or_o sow_v some_o thin_a figleaf_n together_o some_o poor_a excuse_n to_o cover_v it_o thus_o it_o be_v at_o
