and_o those_o action_n of_o the_o mind_n or_o the_o ●ext_a instrument_n by_o which_o the_o mind_n work_v that_o therewith_o the_o heart_n affection_n and_o conscience_n be_v great_o distemper_v with_o

this_o humour_n of_o melancholy_n have_v very_o subtle_a spirit_n that_o fly_v up_o into_o the_o brain_n and_o the_o instrument_n of_o discretion_n and_o there_o they_o lodge_v their_o contagious_a quality_n which_o corrupt_v the_o spirit_n and_o annoy_v both_o heart_n and_o brain_n whence_o arise_v strange_a imagination_n and_o fancy_n in_o the_o head_n head_n and_o heart_n have_v intercourse_n and_o body_n and_o soul_n be_v unite_v the_o soul_n be_v nor_o thereby_o a_o little_a trouble_v 2._o that_o what_o ever_o vain_a man_n judge_v melancholy_a be_v not_o a_o spiritual_a malady_n or_o the_o wonder_n spirit_n here_o speak_v of_o the_o difference_n reason_n melancholy_n be_v not_o the_o wound_a spirit_n prove_v by_o 5._o reason_n between_o both_o be_v great_a as_o 1._o in_o the_o ground_n and_o cause_n the_o trouble_n of_o melancholy_n arise_v either_o from_o natural_a cause_n in_o the_o body_n or_o from_o suppose_a and_o feign_a cause_n the_o imagination_n conceive_v thing_n to_o be_v so_o and_o so_o when_o indeed_o nothing_o be_v real_o so_o the_o trouble_n of_o conscience_n arise_v from_o the_o sight_n and_o sense_n of_o sin_n in_o the_o soul_n the_o apprehension_n of_o divine_a wrath_n due_a to_o man_n for_o sin_n and_o such_o like_a spiritual_a and_o real_a cause_n 2._o in_o the_o seat_n of_o it_o trouble_n from_o melancholy_a seat_n themselves_o in_o the_o head_n

touch_v himself_o such_o man_n will_v speak_v to_o you_o and_o yet_o conceive_v themselves_o to_o be_v without_o head_n or_o heart_n and_o life_n they_o will_v tell_v you_o that_o they_o see_v devil_n and_o feel_v devil_n within_o they_o and_o you_o shall_v hear_v many_o odd_a thing_n from_o they_o when_o as_o trouble_v of_o conscience_n lose_v not_o itself_o but_o speak_v according_a to_o the_o

and_o when_o it_o be_v cure_v it_o give_v not_o a_o man_n any_o ground_n and_o measure_n of_o spiritual_a joy_n it_o enforce_v not_o a_o man_n to_o christ_n for_o ease_n and_o rest_n it_o quicken_v no_o man_n to_o prayer_n and_o duty_n all_o which_o the_o wound_n of_o the_o spirit_n in_o some_o man_n do_v most_o kind_o and_o save_o three_o and_o last_o let_v we_o know_v ourselves_o right_o in_o
