humane_a life_n in_o which_o we_o must_v in_o the_o first_o place_n observe_v that_o humane_a action_n be_v direct_v to_o some_o end_n or_o other_o for_o the_o action_n of_o man_n as_o they_o be_v

there_o be_v one_o last_o end_n of_o man_n for_o it_o be_v impossible_a there_o shall_v be_v two_o substantial_a last_o end_n of_o any_o thing_n see_v that_o beyond_o the_o last_o end_n there_o remain_v nothing_o to_o be_v seek_v after_o that_o be_v call_v the_o last_o end_n which_o do_v so_o satiate_a the_o appetite_n of_o any_o thing_n that_o it_o formal_o include_v or_o at_o least_o

must_v know_v that_o all_o man_n do_v not_o agree_v about_o their_o last_o end_n as_o it_o be_v take_v material_o that_o be_v where_o and_o in_o what_o it_o be_v find_v although_o all_o agree_v in_o the_o formal_a conceit_n of_o it_o that_o be_v in_o the_o nature_n of_o it_o and_o in_o what_o it_o consist_v because_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o last_o end_n of_o mankind_n be_v the_o supreme_a felicity_n of_o it_o now_o all_o man_n agree_v in_o the_o desire_n of_o their_o chief_a felicity_n yet_o all_o do_v not_o think_v that_o that_o felicity_n consist_v in_o the_o same_o thing_n have_v former_o prove_v that_o the_o last_o end_n of_o humane_a life_n be_v the_o first_o verity_n and_o first_o cause_n that_o be_v almighty_a god_n if_o i_o shall_v now_o show_v that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v this_o last_o end_n it_o will_v manifest_o appear_v that_o he_o be_v the_o first_o verity_n the_o first_o cause_n and_o true_a god_n and_o the_o supreme_a good_a in_o which_o most_o assure_o do_v consist_v the_o nature_n of_o the_o last_o end_n which_o that_o we_o may_v more_o clear_o understand_v we_o must_v consider_v that_o when_o any_o nature_n be_v direct_v or_o affect_v towards_o any_o thing_n as_o to_o its_o last_o end_n that_o by_o the_o admixtion_n of_o another_o nature_n which_o distract_v it_o it_o may_v be_v so_o hinder_v that_o it_o do_v not_o prosecute_v its_o end_n at_o all_o or_o at_o least_o but_o very_o remissly_a for_o example_n a_o weight_n or_o ponderous_a body_n natural_o tend_v downward_o and_o all_o gravity_n or_o such_o body_n incline_v by_o the_o form_n of_o their_o weight_n or_o of_o their_o nature_n seek_v their_o centre_n but_o a_o bird_n fly_v upward_o because_o it_o have_v not_o only_o the_o form_n of_o gravity_n but_o also_o that_o of_o a_o animal_n or_o sensible_a live_a creature_n and_o so_o this_o animal_n or_o live_a motion_n suspend_v and_o hinder_v the_o natural_a inclination_n of_o its_o gravity_n or_o weight_n it_o mount_v on_o high_a in_o like_a manner_n a_o insensible_a mix_a body_n have_v much_o air_n and_o fire_n mix_v with_o its_o earth_n sink_v downward_o but_o slow_o but_o if_o there_o be_v any_o weight_n which_o be_v mere_o ponderous_a it_o be_v vehement_o carry_v downward_o unless_o some_o violent_a obstacle_n do_v hinder_v it_o and_o the_o more_o pure_o ponderous_a it_o be_v the_o more_o impetuous_o it_o be_v carry_v of_o its_o own_o nature_n to_o its_o centre_n wherefore_o man_n consist_v of_o a_o double_a nature_n to_o wit_n spiritual_a and_o corporal_a or_o sensible_a although_o the_o understanding_n and_o will_n by_o their_o natural_a motion_n tend_v towards_o almighty_a god_n yet_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o mixture_n of_o the_o sensible_a part_n which_o for_o its_o natural_a function_n have_v its_o sensible_a organ_n it_o be_v disturb_v with_o passion_n and_o be_v more_o frequent_o distract_v then_o otherwise_o it_o will_v natural_o be_v so_o that_o although_o the_o superior_a and_o spiritual_a part_n can_v be_v violent_o force_v yet_o either_o by_o error_n the_o understanding_n be_v ill_o inform_v or_o by_o excess_n of_o appetite_n the_o will_n become_v ill_o affect_v it_o be_v draw_v to_o affect_v those_o thing_n which_o be_v very_o inordinate_a wherefore_o if_o we_o intend_v to_o find_v out_o that_o in_o which_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o last_o end_n of_o man_n do_v consist_v it_o be_v necessary_a to_o seek_v it_o out_o of_o its_o motion_n out_o of_o the_o vehemence_n of_o its_o love_n and_o ardent_a affection_n but_o our_o nature_n consist_v of_o both_o the_o rational_a and_o sensible_a part_n we_o must_v not_o consider_v the_o affection_n of_o they_o who_o lead_v their_o life_n like_o beast_n but_o of_o those_o only_o which_o have_v reason_n always_o for_o the_o guide_n of_o their_o action_n which_o be_v only_o worthy_a indeed_o of_o the_o true_a name_n of_o man_n for_o if_o by_o the_o experiment_n of_o a_o ponderous_a body_n i_o intend_v to_o find_v out_o the_o centre_n of_o gravity_n i_o must_v not_o consider_v it_o in_o the_o flight_n of_o bird_n but_o by_o the_o motion_n of_o body_n which_o be_v mere_o ponderous_a but_o i_o have_v former_o prove_v that_o there_o be_v no_o life_n more_o pure_o rational_a then_o that_o of_o christian_n therefore_o we_o shall_v come_v better_o to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o last_o end_n of_o man_n by_o the_o consideration_n of_o the_o love_n and_o affection_n of_o christian_n which_o true_o and_o with_o all_o propriety_n be_v to_o be_v esteem_v man_n rather_o than_o by_o the_o inordinate_a appetite_n of_o other_o but_o all_o christian_n which_o live_v upright_o with_o a_o most_o vehement_a affection_n with_o a_o sweet_a concord_n and_o harmony_n do_v bend_v their_o whole_a endeavour_n towards_o christ_n crucify_v as_o towards_o their_o supreme_a and_o last_o end_n for_o who_o sake_n they_o esteem_v all_o other_o thing_n as_o dregs_o and_o corruption_n and_o therefore_o he_o be_v their_o last_o end_n the_o true_a god_n and_o supreme_a good_a of_o all_o mankind_n the_o last_o end_n of_o man_n be_v his_o complete_a and_o
