come_v that_o meat_n how_o much_o the_o more_o delicate_a and_o savoury_a they_o be_v as_o hen_n and_o partridge_n so_o much_o the_o soon_o the_o stomach_n do_v nauseate_a and_o abhor_v they_o and_o that_o on_o the_o contrary_a we_o see_v a_o man_n eat_v beef_n all_o the_o year_n round_o without_o the_o least_o distaste_v whereas_o if_o he_o eat_v hen_n three_o or_o four_o day_n together_o on_o the_o five_o he_o can_v hardly_o endure_v the_o smell_n of_o they_o without_o his_o stomach_n rise_v against_o they_o the_o second_o doubt_n be_v why_o wheaten_n bread_n and_o mutton_n not_o be_v of_o substance_n so_o good_a nor_o savoury_n as_o hen_n or_o partridge_n yet_o the_o stomach_n never_o loathe_v they_o though_o we_o eat_v they_o all_o our_o life_n long_o but_o want_v bread_n we_o can_v eat_v other_o meat_n or_o if_o we_o do_v they_o lose_v their_o relish_n he_o that_o skill_n how_o to_o resolve_v these_o two_o doubt_n will_v easy_o comprehend_v why_o the_o descendants_n of_o the_o israelite_n have_v not_o yet_o lose_v the_o disposition_n nor_o the_o quality_n introduce_v by_o the_o manna_n into_o their_o seed_n and_o why_o the_o subtlety_n and_o sharpness_n of_o wit_n of_o which_o they_o be_v possess_v can_v be_v so_o soon_o extinguish_v two_o very_o certain_a and_o true_a principle_n there_o be_v in_o natural_a philosophy_n on_o which_o the_o answer_n and_o resolution_n of_o these_o doubt_n depend_v the_o first_o be_v that_o all_o the_o govern_v power_n in_o man_n be_v naked_a divest_v of_o the_o condition_n and_o quality_n that_o be_v vest_v in_o their_o object_n to_o the_o end_n they_o may_v know_v and_o judge_v of_o all_o their_o difference_n the_o eye_n hold_v this_o property_n which_o be_v to_o receive_v all_o figure_n and_o colour_n

colour_n so_o the_o tongue_n which_o be_v the_o instrument_n of_o taste_n ought_v to_o be_v void_a of_o all_o savour_n and_o if_o the_o same_o be_v sweet_a or_o bitter_a we_o see_v by_o experience_n that_o all_o we_o eat_v or_o drink_v have_v the_o same_o taste_n it_o be_v the_o very_a same_o in_o hear_v smell_a and_o touch_v the_o other_o principle_n be_v that_o all_o create_v being_n in_o the_o world_n be_v natural_o adapt_v to_o their_o own_o preservation_n labour_v to_o endure_v for_o ever_o and_o that_o that_o be_v which_o they_o have_v receive_v from_o god_n and_o nature_n may_v never_o have_v end_n though_o afterward_o they_o be_v to_o possess_v a_o better_a nature_n by_o this_o principle_n all_o natural_a thing_n which_o be_v provide_v with_o knowledge_n and_o sense_n abhor_v whatever_o change_n and_o corrupt_v their_o natural_a composition_n the_o stomach_n be_v naked_a and_o divest_v of_o the_o substance_n and_o quality_n of_o all_o the_o meat_n in_o the_o world_n as_o the_o eye_n of_o colour_n and_o figure_n and_o when_o we_o eat_v oft_o though_o the_o stomach_n overcome_v it_o yet_o the_o meat_n turn_v against_o the_o stomach_n because_o the_o same_o be_v of_o a_o

child_n of_o israel_n nauseated_a it_o wherefore_o they_o say_v our_o soul_n loathe_v that_o slight_a meat_n a_o complaint_n unworthy_a a_o people_n so_o high_o favour_v by_o god_n who_o have_v provide_v a_o remedy_n for_o this_o in_o make_v the_o manna_n have_v those_o taste_n and_o relish_v which_o best_o agree_v with_o they_o that_o it_o may_v go_v down_o the_o better_a thou_o give_v they_o bread_n from_o heaven_n which_o have_v in_o it_o all_o sort_n of_o pleasantness_n for_o which_o cause_n many_o among_o they_o feed_v thereon_o with_o a_o good_a appetite_n for_o they_o have_v bone_n nerve_n and_o flesh_n so_o assimilate_v with_o the_o manna_n and_o its_o quality_n that_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o great_a resemblance_n they_o long_v for_o nothing_o else_o it_o be_v the_o

they_o not_o with_o such_o desire_n as_o those_o that_o be_v delicate_a and_o savoury_a and_o so_o they_o take_v more_o time_n to_o be_v assimilate_v hence_o it_o follow_v that_o to_o corrupt_v the_o
