A37242	A work for none but angels & men. That is to be able to look into, and to know our selves. Or a book shewing what the soule is, subsisting and having its operations without the body; its more th[e]n a perfection or reflection of the sense, or teperature of humours: how she exercises her powers of vegetative or quickening power of the senses. Of the imaginations or common sense, the phantasie, sensative memory, passions motion of life, local motion, and intellectual powers of the soul. Of the wit, understanding, reason, opinion, judgement, power of will, and the relations betwixt wit & wil. Of the intellectual memory, that the soule is immortall, and cannot dye, cannot be destroyed, her cause ceaseth not, violence nor time cannot destroy her; and all objections answered to the contrary.; Nosce teipsum.

things sensible be numberlesse But onely five the Senses Organs be And in those five All things their formes expresse Which we can Touch Tast Feele or Hear or See These are the windows through the which she viewes The light of knowledge which is lifes load-starre And yet while she these spectacles doth use Oft worldly things seen greater then they are First the two Eyes which have the Seeing power Stand as one Watchman Spie or Sentinell Being plac'd alost within the Heads high Tower And though both see yet both but one thing tell These Mirrors take into their little space The formes of Moon and Sun and every Star Of every body and of every place Which with the worlds wide Armes embraced are Yet their best object and their noblest use Hereafter in another world will be When God in them shall heavenly light insuse That face to face they may their Maker see Here are they guides which do the body lead Which else would stumble in eternall night Here in this world they do much knowledge read And are the Casements which admit most light They are her farthest reaching instrument Yet they no beams unto their objects send But all the rayes are from their objects sent And in the Eyes with pointed Angels end Where Phantasie neare handmaid to the mind Sits and beholds and doth discern them all Compounds in one things diverse in their kind Compares the black and white the great and small Besides those single formes she doth esteem And in her ballance doth their values try Where some things good and some things ill do seem And neutrall some in her phantastick eye This busie power is working day and night For when the outward Senses rest do take A thousand Dreames phantasticall and light With fluttering wings do keep her still awake Yet alwayes all may not afore her be Successively she this and that intends Therefore such formes as she doth cease to see To Memories large volume she commends This Lidger Book lyes in the braine behind Like Janus eye which in his pole was set The Lay-mans Tables Storehouse of the mind Which doth remember much and much forget Here Senses Apprehension end doth take As when a stone is into water cast One Circle doth another Circle make Till the last Circle touch the bank at last But though the apprehensive power do pawse The Motive vertue then begins to move Which in the heart below doth passions cause Joy griefe and feare and hope and hate and love These passions have a free commanding might And diverse Actions in our life do breed For all acts done without true reasons light Do from the passion of the Sense proceed But sith the Braine doth lodge these powers of Sense How makes it in the heart those passions spring The mutuall love the kind intelligence 'Twixt heart and braine this sympathy doth bring From the kind heat which in the heart doth raigne The spirits of life doe their begining take These spirits of life ascending to the braine When they come there the Spirits of Sense do make These spirits of Sense in Phantasies high Court Judge of the formes of Objects ill or well And so they send a good or ill report Down to the heart where all Affections dwell If the report be good it causeth love And longing hope and well assured joy If it be ill then doth it hatred move And trembling fear and vexing grieff annoy Yet were these naturall affections good For they which want them blocks or divels be If reason in her first perfection stood That she might Natures passions rectifie Besides another Motive power doth rise Out of the heart from whose pure blood do spring The vitall Spirits which borne in Arteries Continuall motion to all parts doe bring This makes the pulses beat and lungs respire This holds the sinews like a bridles Raines And makes the body to advance retire To turne or stop as she them slacks or straincs Thus the Soule tunes the Bodies instrument These harmonies she makes with life and sense The Organs fit are by the Body lent But th' actions flow from the Soules influence But now I have a Will yet want a Wit To expresse the working of the Wit and Will Which though their root be to the body knit Use not the body when they use their skill These powers the nature of the Soule declare For to mans Soule these onely proper be For on the earth no other wights there are Which have these heavenly powers but only we The wit the pupil of the Soules clear eye And in mans world the onely shining Starre Looks in the mirrour of the Phantasie Where all the gatherings of the Senses are From thence this power the shapes of things abstracts And them within her passive part receives Which are enlightned by that part which acts And so the formes of single things perceives But after by discoursing to and fro Anticipating and comparing things She doth all universall natures know And all effects into their causes brings When she rates things moves from ground to ground The name of Reason she obtains by this But when by Reasons she the truth hath found And standeth sixt she Understanding is When her assent she lightly doth enclins To either part she is opinion light But when she doth by principles define A Certaine truth she hath true Judgements sight And as from Senses Reasons work doth spring So many Reasons understanding gaine And many understandings knowledge oring And by much knowledge wisdome we obtain So many staires we must ascend upright Ere we attain to wisdomes high degree So coth this earth eclipse our reasons light Which else in instants would like Angels see Yet hath the Soule a dowry naturall And sparks of light some common things to see Not being a blank where nought is writ at all But what the writer will may written be For nature in mens heart her lawes doth pen Prescribing truth to wit and good to will Which do accuse or else excuse all men For every thought or practise good or ill And yet these sparks grow almost infinite Making the world and all therein their food As fire so spreads as no place holdeth it Being nourisht still with new supplies of wood And though these sparks were almost quencht with sin Yet they whom that just one hath justified Have them encreasd with heavenly light within And like the widowes oyle still multiplide And as this wit should goodnesse truly know We have a wit which that true good should chuse Though will do oft when wit false forms doth show Take ill for good and good for ill refuse Will puts in practice what the wit deviseth Will ever acts and wit contemplates still And as from wit the power of wisdome riseth All other vertues daughters are of will Will is the Prince and wit the Counsellour Which doth for common good in Councel fit
