to_o come_v require_v still_o more_o light_a of_o reason_n it_o be_v true_a indeed_o that_o the_o understanding_n sometime_o make_v some_o reflection_n upon_o the_o thing_n thus_o present_v to_o the_o fancy_n in_o sleep_n for_o there_o be_v this_o difference_n betwixt_o our_o dream_n and_o those_o of_o dog_n and_o horse_n those_o of_o such_o animal_n do_v not_o reach_v any_o high_a faculty_n than_o the_o imagination_n for_o as_o much_o as_o they_o have_v none_o high_o whereas_o we_o do_v sometime_o affect_v the_o understanding_n so_o that_o we_o do_v sometime_o make_v rational_a reflection_n upon_o those_o phantasm_n and_o sometime_o long_a discourse_n as_o it_o frequent_o happen_v to_o those_o who_o be_v accustom_v to_o speak_v in_o public_a but_o then_o in_o the_o first_o place_n it_o be_v not_o the_o understanding_n that_o form_v these_o idea_n it_o only_a act_n upon_o they_o as_o they_o be_v represent_v by_o the_o imagination_n so_o that_o it_o can_v give_v they_o the_o least_o power_n of_o signify_v thing_n to_o come_v and_o further_o how_o can_v that_o which_o can_v foresee_v thing_n future_a when_o awake_a do_v it_o when_o asleep_o and_o be_v able_a to_o represent_v they_o in_o those_o different_a shape_n which_o then_o concur_v in_o the_o fancy_n so_o far_o be_v it_o from_o do_v any_o thing_n of_o this_o that_o it_o can_v pass_v any_o rational_a judgement_n either_o of_o the_o past_a or_o present_a of_o which_o yet_o it_o have_v much_o more_o knowledge_n then_o of_o thing_n to_o come_v and_o indeed_o no_o extravagance_n be_v able_a then_o to_o check_v or_o set_v bound_n to_o our_o understanding_n we_o raise_v our_o friend_n who_o we_o know_v to_o be_v dead_a and_o discourse_n with_o they_o as_o if_o yet_o live_v we_o set_v paris_n in_o quercy_n and_o london_n in_o germany_n and_o this_o without_o any_o great_a wonder_n to_o we_o we_o become_v beggar_n and_o king_n in_o a_o moment_n nor_o do_v this_o so_o strange_a a_o alteration_n any_o way_n amuse_v we_o and_o there_o be_v nothing_o so_o fantastical_a or_o disagreeable_a which_o do_v not_o thus_o seem_v reasonable_a to_o we_o 3._o the_o three_o sort_n of_o natural_a dream_n be_v such_o as_o proceed_v from_o those_o employment_n of_o our_o life_n to_o which_o we_o apply_v ourselves_o with_o great_a intention_n of_o mind_n for_o studious_a man_n dream_v of_o book_n covetous_a man_n of_o money_n soldier_n imagine_v they_o see_v battalion_n of_o foot_n and_o squadron_n of_o horse_n and_o general_o those_o who_o be_v delight_v in_o any_o employment_n dream_n of_o thing_n relate_v thereunto_o and_o it_o be_v not_o difficult_a to_o render_v a_o reason_n hereof_o for_o the_o image_n of_o these_o thing_n be_v most_o familiar_a to_o they_o and_o do_v most_o frequent_o occur_v so_o that_o it_o be_v no_o wonder_n if_o when_o the_o inward_a heat_n which_o be_v much_o more_z intense_a in_o sleep_n do_v move_v and_o agitate_v this_o store-house_n of_o sensible_a idea_n no_o wonder_n i_o say_v if_o these_o do_v first_o and_o more_o frequent_o offer_v themselves_o but_o yet_o always_o almost_o with_o the_o same_o phantasticalness_n as_o the_o former_a so_o that_o we_o may_v make_v the_o same_o judgement_n of_o both_o and_o believe_v that_o they_o have_v no_o more_o power_n to_o signify_v thing_n to_o come_v than_o they_o have_v 4._o the_o four_o kind_n of_o natural_a dream_n be_v that_o which_o arise_v upon_o occasion_n of_o some_o passion_n which_o have_v either_o possess_v we_o whilst_o yet_o wake_v and_o upon_o which_o we_o now_o reflect_v be_v asleep_o or_o such_o as_o take_v its_o first_o rise_n in_o our_o sleep_n by_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o irascible_a or_o concupiscible_a appetite_n and_o here_o it_o fare_v with_o we_o almost_o in_o the_o same_o manner_n as_o in_o those_o which_o proceed_v from_o the_o temperament_n of_o the_o body_n and_o the_o constitution_n of_o the_o humour_n for_o thus_o it_o present_v to_o our_o imagination_n object_n which_o leave_v some_o resemblance_n to_o our_o passion_n those_o who_o be_v hungry_a imagine_v they_o see_v feast_n and_o those_o who_o be_v thirsty_a believe_v they_o drink_v at_o fountain_n the_o amorous_a see_v their_o inclination_n and_o the_o choleric_a the_o object_n of_o their_o anger_n and_o run_v to_o meet_v their_o enemy_n who_o present_v themselves_o in_o arm_n before_o they_o but_o as_o these_o dream_n have_v without_o doubt_v a_o cause_n antecedent_n in_o your_o passion_n so_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o ordinary_o they_o be_v no_o less_o extravagant_a than_o the_o former_a nor_o more_o capable_a to_o give_v any_o certain_a knowledge_n of_o thing_n to_o come_v nor_o of_o those_o very_a thing_n which_o already_o exist_v if_o they_o be_v altogether_o unknown_a to_o we_o before_o our_o dream_n for_o the_o sensitive_a part_n of_o our_o soul_n be_v indeed_o able_a to_o submit_v to_o reason_n but_o in_o itself_o do_v no_o way_n partake_v of_o it_o so_o that_o it_o be_v in_o its_o own_o nature_n irrational_a it_o be_v impossible_a it_o shall_v produce_v any_o thing_n which_o as_o we_o say_v before_o require_v a_o intelligent_a agent_n for_o its_o cause_n it_o be_v true_a sometime_o it_o happen_v that_o some_o of_o these_o dream_n do_v come_v to_o pass_v which_o make_v we_o think_v there_o be_v some_o resemblance_n or_o agreement_n betwixt_o the_o dream_n and_o the_o event_n and_o by_o consequence_n that_o some_o angel_n or_o spirit_n be_v concern_v therein_o but_o as_o aristotle_n have_v observe_v this_o happen_v by_o mere_a chance_n as_o he_o that_o without_o any_o aim_n shall_v shoot_v a_o thousand_o arrow_n may_v at_o last_o by_o chance_n hit_v the_o mark_n so_o in_o our_o dream_n such_o a_o infinite_a number_n of_o vision_n do_v pass_v into_o our_o imagination_n that_o it_o be_v not_o only_o no_o wonder_n if_o one_o shall_v sometime_o chance_v to_o be_v true_a but_o it_o will_v be_v much_o more_o strange_a if_o once_o or_o twice_o in_o our_o life_n it_o do_v not_o so_o happen_v but_o if_o any_o of_o our_o dream_n do_v not_o only_o come_v to_o pass_v but_o there_o also_o be_v a_o remarkable_a agreement_n betwixt_o it_o and_o the_o event_n and_o such_o as_o that_o we_o ought_v necessary_o to_o suppose_v the_o operation_n of_o a_o intelligent_a agent_n to_o intervene_v we_o ought_v not_o then_o to_o reckon_v this_o among_o natural_a dream_n but_o to_o refer_v it_o either_o to_o god_n or_o to_o some_o action_n of_o angel_n chap._n ii_o of_o angelical_a dream_n in_o general_n and_o some_o rational_a reflection_n on_o particular_a one_o there_o be_v two_o sort_n of_o dream_n which_o we_o may_v impute_v to_o create_a intelligence_n the_o one_o where_o the_o thing_n signify_v be_v contain_v in_o symbolical_a and_o mysterious_a representation_n the_o other_o where_o they_o be_v propose_v naked_a without_o any_o such_o resemblance_n as_o for_o the_o first_o those_o who_o undertake_v to_o give_v rule_n of_o their_o interpretation_n do_v it_o in_o two_o different_a way_n for_o they_o tell_v we_o that_o we_o ought_v sometime_o to_o take_v the_o direct_a contrary_n to_o the_o dream_n for_o its_o interpretation_n as_o if_o one_o dream_n of_o marriage_n they_o say_v it_o be_v a_o sign_n of_o death_n and_o on_o the_o contrary_a if_o we_o imagine_v in_o our_o sleep_n that_o we_o see_v mourning-weed_n and_o funeral-attire_n we_o shall_v then_o sudden_o hear_v of_o a_o marriage_n but_o one_o may_v dream_v of_o such_o thing_n without_o angel_n any_o way_n concern_v themselves_o herein_o for_o that_o the_o image_n of_o those_o thing_n may_v remain_v in_o the_o memory_n and_o by_o the_o mere_a force_n of_o nature_n return_v into_o the_o fancy_n when_o we_o be_v asleep_a but_o when_o any_o such_o dream_n shall_v happen_v and_o it_o be_v imprint_v in_o the_o imagination_n by_o the_o operation_n of_o a_o angel_n we_o may_v assure_v ourselves_o that_o it_o be_v not_o a_o good_a one_o that_o do_v it_o for_o they_o be_v the_o minister_n of_o god_n who_o be_v never_o that_o author_n of_o those_o dream_n who_o signification_n be_v thus_o to_o be_v read_v backward_o much_o less_o have_v he_o establish_v any_o such_o rule_n to_o interpret_v they_o by_o and_o there_o be_v not_o the_o least_o footstep_n hereof_o either_o in_o scripture_n or_o nature_n and_o there_o be_v too_o much_o of_o uncertainty_n in_o these_o interpretation_n to_o entitle_v they_o to_o divine_a revelation_n and_o this_o make_v i_o call_v to_o mind_n that_o which_o they_o report_v of_o buchanan_n who_o every_o year_n inter-leafed_a his_o almanac_n with_o white_a paper_n and_o where_o the_o almanac_n foretell_v fair-weather_n he_o write_v over_o against_o it_o fowl_n and_o where_o it_o say_v it_o shall_v be_v rain_n or_o cloudy_a he_o set_v opposite_a to_o it_o a_o fair_a and_o clear_a sky_n and_o that_o after_o he_o have_v observe_v it_o fifty_o or_o sixty_o year_n
