pleasure_n for_o the_o pleasure_n of_o every_o be_v consist_v in_o the_o vigorous_a exercise_n of_o its_o faculty_n about_o convenient_a and_o agreeable_a object_n but_o the_o faculty_n of_o a_o

4._o and_o last_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n be_v of_o vast_a worth_n in_o respect_n of_o its_o capacity_n of_o immortality_n for_o by_o its_o operation_n it_o be_v evident_a that_o the_o soul_n be_v

thrust_v on_o by_o that_o outward_a matter_n that_o continual_o move_v and_o press_v upon_o it_o and_o all_o its_o motion_n will_v be_v as_o necessary_a as_o that_o of_o a_o stone_n in_o the_o air_n when_o it_o be_v thrust_v up_o by_o a_o impress_a force_n and_o press_v down_o again_o by_o the_o weight_n of_o the_o air_n above_o it_o whereas_o in_o this_o soul_n of_o we_o we_o sensible_o feel_v and_o experience_n a_o natural_a liberty_n of_o act_v a_o power_n to_o move_v itself_o and_o to_o determine_v its_o own_o motion_n which_o way_n it_o please_v when_o it_o be_v press_v forward_a never_o so_o vigorous_o by_o the_o strong_a impulse_n of_o outward_a object_n it_o be_v in_o its_o power_n to_o go_v on_o or_o retreat_n and_o to_o divert_v the_o current_n of_o its_o thought_n into_o a_o quite_o contrary_a channel_n to_o that_o whereinto_o it_o be_v thrust_v and_o direct_v by_o all_o the_o impression_n of_o its_o sense_n for_o thus_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o the_o alarm_n and_o shouting_n of_o a_o army_n of_o the_o noise_n of_o drum_n and_o trumpet_n ring_v in_o our_o ear_n our_o soul_n can_v recollect_v itself_o and_o reduce_v its_o scatter_a thought_n into_o profound_a contemplation_n of_o a_o sweet_a and_o bless_a peace_n and_o when_o it_o be_v press_v from_o without_o with_o never_o so_o much_o importunity_n to_o this_o or_o that_o particular_a choice_n it_o be_v in_o its_o power_n to_o reject_v the_o motion_n and_o to_o choose_v the_o quite_o contrary_a by_o all_o which_o it_o be_v apparent_a that_o the_o soul_n have_v a_o innate_a liberty_n of_o act_v that_o she_o be_v not_o necessitate_v from_o without_o by_o the_o different_a concourse_n and_o motion_n of_o the_o several_a particle_n of_o matter_n but_o that_o all_o the_o diversity_n of_o her_o will_n and_o opinion_n be_v principal_o owe_v to_o her_o own_o freedom_n and_o power_n of_o self-determination_n and_o to_o make_v the_o least_o doubt_n of_o it_o be_v to_o question_v the_o common_a sense_n and_o experience_n of_o mankind_n since_o therefore_o the_o soul_n be_v not_o determine_v in_o its_o motion_n by_o the_o different_a pressure_n of_o material_a thing_n as_o all_o other_o matter_n be_v but_o have_v power_n to_o swim_v against_o the_o torrent_n and_o move_v quite_o counter_a to_o all_o foreign_a impression_n it_o hence_o necessary_o follow_v that_o it_o be_v immaterial_a and_o indeed_o consider_v how_o much_o its_o operation_n do_v exceed_v the_o utmost_a power_n of_o dull_a and_o passive_a matter_n i_o can_v but_o wonder_v that_o any_o man_n shall_v be_v so_o forsake_v of_o his_o reason_n as_o to_o rank_v it_o among_o material_a thing_n for_o how_o be_v it_o possible_a that_o a_o piece_n of_o dull_a unactive_a matter_n that_o a_o little_a grass_n or_o dirt_n or_o
