the_o creation_n as_o if_o there_o be_v no_o other_o end_n of_o any_o creature_n but_o some_o way_n or_o other_o to_o be_v serviceable_a to_o man_n this_o opinion_n be_v as_o old_a as_o tully_n for_o

rusticity_n to_o think_v otherwise_o and_o in_o another_o place_n this_o come_v only_o out_o of_o pride_n and_o ignorance_n or_o a_o haughty_a presumption_n because_o we_o be_v encourage_v to_o believe_v that_o in_o some_o sense_n all_o thing_n be_v make_v for_o man_n therefore_o to_o think_v that_o they_o be_v not_o at_o all_o make_v for_o themselves_o but_o he_o that_o pronounce_v this_o be_v ignorant_a of_o the_o nature_n of_o man_n and_o the_o knowledge_n of_o thing_n for_o if_o a_o good_a man_n be_v merciful_a to_o his_o beast_n then_o sure_o a_o good_a god_n be_v bountiful_a and_o benign_a and_o take_v pleasure_n that_o all_o his_o creature_n enjoy_v themselves_o that_o have_v life_n and_o sense_n and_o be_v capable_a of_o enjoyment_n for_o my_o part_n i_o can_v believe_v that_o all_o the_o thing_n in_o the_o world_n be_v so_o make_v for_o man_n that_o they_o have_v no_o other_o use_n for_o it_o be_v high_o absurd_a and_o unreasonable_a to_o think_v that_o body_n of_o such_o vast_a magnitude_n as_o the_o fix_a star_n be_v only_o make_v to_o twinkle_v to_o we_o nay_o a_o multitude_n of_o they_o there_o be_v that_o do_v not_o so_o much_o as_o twinkle_v be_v either_o by_o reason_n of_o their_o distance_n or_o of_o their_o smallness_n altogether_o invisible_a to_o the_o naked_a eye_n and_o only_o discoverable_a by_o a_o telescope_n and_o it_o be_v likely_o perfect_a telescope_n than_o we_o yet_o have_v may_v bring_v to_o light_v many_o more_o and_o who_o know_v how_o many_o may_v lie_v out_o of_o the_o ken_n of_o the_o best_a telescope_n that_o can_v possible_o be_v make_v and_o i_o believe_v there_o be_v many_o species_n in_o nature_n which_o be_v never_o yet_o take_v notice_n of_o by_o man_n and_o consequent_o of_o no_o use_n to_o he_o which_o yet_o we_o be_v not_o to_o think_v be_v create_v in_o vain_a but_o it_o be_v likely_a as_o the_o doctor_n say_v to_o partake_v of_o the_o overflow_a goodness_n of_o the_o creator_n and_o enjoy_v their_o own_o being_n but_o though_o in_o this_o sense_n it_o be_v not_o true_a that_o all_o thing_n be_v make_v for_o man_n yet_o thus_o far_o it_o be_v that_o all_o the_o creature_n in_o the_o
