the_o force_n of_o a_o law_n by_o the_o necessary_a love_n god_n have_v for_o himself_o we_o conceive_v how_o this_o law_n be_v general_n for_o all_o spirit_n and_o even_o for_o god_n himself_o how_o it_o be_v necessary_a and_o absolute_o indispensible_a in_o fine_a we_o either_o do_v or_o may_v easy_o conceive_v in_o general_a how_o it_o be_v the_o principle_n of_o all_o divine_a and_o humane_a

own_o it_o be_v no_o easy_a task_n to_o explain_v all_o this_o in_o particular_a neither_o will_v i_o venture_v to_o undertake_v it_o for_o shall_v i_o attempt_v to_o show_v the_o relation_n particular_a law_n have_v to_o the_o general_n law_n and_o the_o connection_n between_o certain_a proceed_n and_o order_n i_o shall_v be_v oblige_v to_o enter_v into_o such_o difficulty_n as_o perhaps_o i_o shall_v not_o be_v able_a to_o solve_v and_o which_o will_v also_o lead_v i_o far_o from_o my_o subject_n nevertheless_o if_o we_o consider_v that_o god_n neither_o have_v nor_o can_v have_v any_o law_n but_o his_o wisdom_n and_o the_o necessary_a love_n he_o have_v for_o it_o we_o shall_v easy_o conclude_v that_o all_o divine_a law_n must_v be_v ground_v on_o it_o and_o if_o we_o observe_v that_o he_o have_v only_o make_v the_o world_n in_o relation_n to_o that_o wisdom_n and_o love_n since_o he_o only_o act_n for_o himself_o we_o shall_v no_o long_o doubt_v but_o that_o all_o natural_a law_n must_v tend_v to_o the_o preservation_n and_o perfection_n of_o this_o world_n according_a to_o indispensable_a order_n and_o by_o their_o dependence_n on_o necessary_a love_n for_o all_o thing_n be_v govern_v by_o the_o wisdom_n and_o will_n of_o god_n there_o be_v no_o necessity_n for_o i_o to_o enlarge_v any_o further_a on_o this_o principle_n at_o this_o time_n what_o i_o have_v say_v be_v sufficient_a to_o draw_v this_o consequence_n that_o in_o the_o first_o institution_n of_o nature_n it_o be_v impossible_a that_o spirit_n shall_v have_v be_v subject_v to_o body_n for_o as_o god_n can_v never_o act_n without_o knowledge_n and_o involuntary_o so_o he_o have_v make_v the_o world_n according_a to_o his_o wisdom_n and_o by_o the_o morion_n of_o his_o love_n he_o have_v make_v all_o thing_n by_o his_o son_n and_o in_o the_o holy_a ghost_n as_o the_o scripture_n teach_v we_o now_o in_o the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n spirit_n be_v more_o perfect_a than_o body_n and_o by_o the_o necessary_a love_n which_o god_n have_v for_o himself_o he_o prefer_v the_o most_o perfect_a to_o the_o least_o perfect_a therefore_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o spirit_n shall_v have_v be_v subject_v to_o body_n in_o the_o first_o institution_n of_o nature_n otherwise_o we_o shall_v be_v oblige_v to_o say_v that_o when_o god_n make_v the_o world_n he_o follow_v not_o the_o rule_n of_o his_o eternal_a wisdom_n nor_o the_o motion_n of_o his_o natural_a and_o necessary_a love_n which_o be_v not_o to_o be_v conceive_v but_o rather_o imply_v a_o direct_a contradiction_n it_o be_v true_a at_o present_a a_o create_a mind_n be_v subject_a to_o a_o material_a and_o sensible_a body_n but_o it_o be_v because_o order_v consider_v as_o a_o necessary_a law_n require_v it_o it_o be_v because_o god_n love_v himself_o by_o a_o necessary_a love_n which_o be_v always_o his_o inviolable_a law_n can_v love_v spirit_n which_o be_v contrary_a to_o he_o nor_o consequent_o prefer_v they_o

some_o person_n i_o produce_v they_o will_v tell_v i_o my_o idea_n by_o the_o faculty_n god_n have_v give_v i_o of_o think_v and_o move_v my_o arm_n because_o of_o the_o union_n god_n have_v place_v between_o my_o mind_n and_o body_n but_o faculty_n and_o union_n be_v logical_a term_n ramble_v and_o indeterminate_a word_n there_o be_v no_o be_v whatever_o nor_o manner_n of_o be_v which_o be_v either_o a_o faculty_n or_o a_o union_n therefore_o these_o term_n must_v be_v explain_v if_o they_o will_v say_v that_o the_o union_n of_o my_o mind_n with_o my_o body_n consist_v in_o god_n willing_a that_o when_o i_o wish_v my_o arm_n shall_v be_v move_v the_o animal_n spirit_n be_v then_o disperse_v into_o the_o muscle_n of_o it_o to_o move_v it_o according_a to_o my_o desire_n i_o clear_o understand_v this_o explanation_n and_o receive_v it_o but_o it_o be_v the_o same_o thing_n which_o i_o maintain_v for_o if_o my_o will_n determine_v that_o of_o god_n it_o be_v evident_a my_o arm_n will_v be_v move_v not_o by_o my_o will_n which_o be_v impotent_a in_o itself_o but_o by_o that_o of_o god_n which_o can_v never_o fail_v of_o its_o effect_n power_n i_o always_o mean_v a_o true_a and_o efficacious_a power_n but_o if_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o union_n of_o my_o mind_n with_o my_o body_n consist_v in_o god_n have_v give_v i_o the_o power_n to_o move_v my_o arm_n as_o he_o have_v give_v my_o body_n the_o power_n of_o feel_a pleasure_n and_o pain_n that_o i_o may_v be_v assiduous_a about_o my_o body_n and_o interest_n myself_o in_o its_o preservation_n certain_o by_o this_o we_o shall_v suppose_v the_o matter_n in_o dispute_n and_o make_v a_o circle_n on_o it_o we_o have_v no_o clear_a idea_n of_o this_o power_n that_o the_o soul_n have_v over_o the_o body_n nor_o of_o that_o the_o body_n have_v over_o the_o soul_n nor_o very_o well_o know_v what_o we_o say_v when_o we_o positive_o affirm_v it_o prejudice_n first_o give_v rise_v to_o this_o opinion_n we_o believe_v it_o from_o infant_n as_o soon_o as_o we_o be_v capable_a of_o sensation_n but_o the_o understanding_n reason_n and_o reflection_n have_v no_o share_n in_o it_o as_o sufficient_o appear_v by_o what_o i_o have_v say_v in_o the_o search_n after_o truth_n but_o they_o will_v say_v i_o know_v by_o the_o inward_a sensation_n of_o my_o action_n that_o i_o true_o have_v this_o power_n so_o that_o i_o shall_v not_o be_v deceive_v in_o believe_v it_o to_o which_o i_o answer_v when_o we_o move_v our_o arm_n we_o have_v a_o inward_a sensation_n of_o the_o actual_a will_n whereby_o we_o move_v it_o and_o be_v not_o mistake_v when_o we_o believe_v we_o have_v this_o will._n and_o further_o we_o have_v a_o inward_a sensation_n of_o a_o certain_a effort_n which_o accompany_v this_o will_n and_o we_o ought_v likewise_o to_o believe_v that_o we_o make_v this_o effort_n in_o short_a i_o mean_v that_o we_o have_v a_o inward_a sensation_n that_o the_o arm_n be_v move_v in_o the_o very_a instant_n of_o the_o effort_n which_o suppose_v i_o consent_v to_o what_o be_v say_v that_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o arm_n be_v perform_v in_o the_o same_o instant_n we_o feel_v this_o endeavour_n or_o that_o we_o have_v a_o practical_a will_n to_o move_v it_o truth_n it_o appear_v evident_a to_o i_o that_o the_o mind_n do_v not_o so_o much_o as_o know_v by_o inward_a sensation_n or_o conscience_n the_o motion_n of_o the_o arm_n which_o it_o animate_v it_o know_v by_o conscience_n only_o what_o it_o feel_v or_o think_v we_o know_v the_o sense_n we_o have_v of_o the_o motion_n of_o our_o arm_n by_o inward_a sensation_n or_o conscience_n but_o conscience_n do_v not_o inform_v we_o of_o the_o motion_n of_o our_o arm_n or_o the_o pain_n we_o suffer_v in_o it_o any_o more_o than_o the_o colour_n we_o see_v upon_o object_n or_o if_o this_o will_v not_o be_v grant_v i_o say_v that_o inward_a sensation_n be_v not_o infallible_a for_o error_n be_v often_o find_v in_o complex_n sensation_n as_o have_v be_v show_v in_o the_o first_o book_n of_o the_o search_n after_o truth_n but_o i_o deny_v that_o this_o effort_n which_o be_v only_o a_o modification_n or_o sensation_n of_o the_o soul_n give_v we_o to_o make_v we_o apprehend_v our_o weakness_n and_o which_o afford_v we_o but_o a_o obscure_a and_o weak_a discovery_n of_o our_o power_n shall_v be_v
