and_o pity_n in_o our_o heart_n almost_o as_o plain_o as_o we_o find_v ourselves_o see_v with_o our_o eye_n or_o hear_v with_o our_o ear_n i_o feel_v the_o propension_n and_o inclination_n of_o my_o

in_o every_o particle_n of_o my_o body_n though_o not_o use_v intellectual_a action_n in_o every_o part_n yet_o use_v some_o that_o be_v imperate_a as_o local_a motion_n some_o that_o be_v natural_a

i_o understand_v consider_v determine_v speak_v walk_v digest_v and_o exercise_n as_o well_o intelectual_a imperate_a and_o involuntary_a action_n and_o all_o from_o the_o same_o vital_a principle_n though_o operate_a different_o in_o several_a faculty_n and_o operation_n i_o therefore_o experimental_o feel_v that_o my_o soul_n though_o it_o have_v the_o residence_n of_o the_o exercise_n of_o his_o noble_a faculty_n in_o my_o head_n and_o heart_n yet_o it_o pervade_v my_o whole_a body_n and_o exercise_v vital_a office_n proportionate_a to_o the_o exigence_n or_o use_v of_o every_o part_n the_o flesh_n the_o bone_n the_o blood_n the_o spirit_n nerve_n vein_n artery_n seminal_a part_n and_o this_o i_o feel_v to_o be_v through_o my_o whole_a body_n and_o if_o i_o find_v any_o part_n of_o my_o body_n be_v so_o mortify_v as_o it_o become_v like_o a_o rot_a branch_n of_o a_o tree_n whether_o it_o be_v nerve_n or_o joint_n whereby_o that_o principle_n can_v communicate_v itself_o to_o

and_o as_o i_o find_v my_o whole_a body_n the_o province_n or_o territory_n of_o my_o soul_n in_o which_o it_o universal_o act_n according_a to_o the_o different_a organization_n and_o use_n of_o

by_o all_o this_o i_o learn_v that_o my_o soul_n if_o it_o be_v a_o spirit_n may_v be_v circumscribe_v within_o the_o compass_n of_o a_o determinate_a space_n that_o though_o it_o be_v a_o spirit_n yet_o its_o operation_n while_o it_o be_v in_o the_o body_n may_v be_v if_o not_o altogether_o yet_o in_o a_o great_a measure_n organical_a i_o understand_v remember_v and_o reason_n better_o in_o

though_o it_o be_v a_o spirit_n yet_o i_o find_v it_o be_v no_o inconvenience_n to_o have_v some_o analogy_n at_o least_o of_o co-extension_n with_o my_o body_n and_o although_o it_o may_v be_v a_o

the_o several_a part_n of_o my_o organical_a body_n it_o exercise_v variety_n of_o operation_n the_o same_o soul_n that_o understand_v in_o the_o brain_n and_o see_v in_o the_o eye_n and_o hear_v in_o

it_o to_o pass_v that_o almighty_a god_n come_v to_o be_v frustrate_v of_o the_o end_n which_o he_o thus_o design_v as_o well_o in_o relation_n to_o his_o own_o glory_n as_o the_o good_a of_o

i_o shall_v say_v 1._o that_o the_o wise_a god_n have_v as_o it_o be_v twist_v his_o own_o honour_n and_o glory_n with_o man_n felicity_n and_o happiness_n if_o man_n decline_v to_o honour_n glorify_v

fruition_n and_o happiness_n which_o be_v the_o reward_n of_o his_o duty_n 2._o the_o liberty_n of_o the_o will_n be_v the_o great_a prerogative_n of_o the_o humane_a nature_n and_o almighty_a god_n have_v furnish_v that_o nature_n with_o all_o conducible_n to_o enable_v he_o to_o obey_v and_o to_o continue_v he_o in_o that_o obedience_n man_n by_o the_o abuse_n of_o his_o own_o liberty_n deprive_v himself_o of_o his_o own_o felicity_n when_o we_o speak_v therefore_o of_o the_o end_n of_o man_n we_o speak_v of_o it_o as_o god_n make_v he_o not_o as_o man_n make_v or_o rather_o unmake_v himself_o but_o of_o this_o end_n of_o the_o mean_n of_o his_o restitution_n by_o christ_n and_o the_o admirable_a system_n and_o connexion_n of_o the_o divine_a providence_n in_o relation_n to_o

mankind_n so_o he_o have_v fit_v he_o for_o a_o double_a end_n namely_o to_o glorify_v his_o maker_n and_o everlasting_o to_o enjoy_v he_o and_o in_o order_n hereunto_o have_v give_v he_o a_o double_a
