in_o all_o man_n for_o the_o rest_n of_o his_o journey_n and_o indeed_o my_o lord_n i_o think_v this_o gentleman_n set_v out_o excellent_o poise_v with_o that_o happy_a temper_n and_o show_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o judicious_a piety_n in_o make_v a_o right_a use_n of_o the_o blind_a zeal_n that_o bigot_n lose_v themselves_o in_o yet_o i_o can_v satisfy_v my_o doubt_n thorough_o how_o he_o make_v good_a his_o profess_n to_o follow_v the_o great_a wheel_n of_o the_o church_n in_o matter_n of_o divinity_n which_o sure_o be_v the_o solid_a basis_n of_o true_a religion_n for_o to_o do_v so_o without_o jar_v against_o the_o conduct_n of_o that_o first_o mover_n by_o eccentrical_a and_o irregular_a motion_n oblige_v one_o to_o yield_v a_o very_a dutiful_a obedience_n to_o the_o

look_v upon_o as_o their_o north_n star_n whereas_o if_o i_o mistake_v not_o this_o author_n approve_v the_o church_n of_o england_n not_o absolute_o but_o comparative_o with_o other_o reform_a church_n my_o next_o reflection_n be_v concerning_o what_o he_o have_v sprinkle_v most_o witty_o in_o several_a place_n concerning_o the_o nature_n and_o immortality_n of_o a_o human_a soul_n and_o the_o condition_n and_o state_n it_o be_v in_o after_o the_o dissolution_n of_o the_o body_n and_o here_o give_v i_o leave_v to_o observe_v what_o our_o countryman_n roger_n bacon_n do_v long_o ago_o that_o those_o student_n who_o busy_a themselves_o much_o with_o such_o notion_n as_o reside_v whole_o to_o the_o fantasy_n do_v hardly_o ever_o become_v idoneous_a for_o abstract_a metaphysical_a speculation_n the_o one_o have_v bulky_a foundation_n of_o matter_n or_o of_o the_o accident_n of_o it_o to_o settle_v upon_o at_o the_o least_o with_o one_o foot_n the_o other_o fly_v continual_o even_o to_o a_o lessen_a pitch_n in_o the_o subtle_a air_n and_o ding_o it_o have_v be_v general_o note_v that_o the_o exact_a mathematician_n who_o converse_v altogether_o with_o line_n figure_n and_o other_o difference_n of_o quantity_n have_v seldom_o prove_v eminent_a in_o metaphysics_n or_o speculative_a divinity_n nor_o again_o the_o professor_n of_o these_o science_n in_o the_o other_o art_n much_o less_o can_v it_o be_v expect_v that_o a_o excellent_a physician_n who_o fancy_n be_v always_o fraught_v with_o the_o material_a drug_n that_o he_o prescribe_v his_o apothecary_n to_o compound_v his_o medicine_n of_o and_o who_o hand_n be_v enure_v to_o the_o cut_n up_o and_o eye_n to_o the_o inspection_n of_o anatomize_a body_n shall_v easy_o and_o with_o success_n fly_v his_o thought_n at_o so_o to_o wring_v a_o game_n as_o a_o pure_a intellect_n a_o separate_a and_o unbodyed_a soul_n sure_o this_o acute_a author_n sharp_a wit_n have_v he_o orderly_o apply_v his_o study_n that_o way_n will_v have_v be_v able_a to_o satisfy_v himself_o with_o less_o labour_n and_o other_o with_o more_o plenitude_n than_o it_o have_v be_v the_o lot_n of_o so_o dull_a a_o brain_n as_o i_o concerning_o the_o immortality_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o yet_o i_o assure_v you_o my_o lord_n the_o little_a philosophy_n that_o be_v allow_v i_o for_o my_o share_n demonstrate_v this_o proposition_n to_o i_o as_o well_o as_o faith_n deliver_v it_o which_o our_o physician_n will_v not_o admit_v in_o he_o to_o make_v good_a this_o assertion_n here_o be_v very_o unreasonable_a since_o that_o to_o do_v it_o exact_o and_o without_o exactness_n it_o be_v no_o demonstration_n require_v a_o total_a survey_n of_o the_o whole_a science_n of_o body_n and_o of_o all_o the_o operation_n that_o we_o be_v

up_o in_o the_o first_o draught_n near_o two_o hundred_o sheet_n of_o paper_n i_o shall_v therefore_o take_v leave_n of_o this_o point_n with_o only_a this_o note_n that_o i_o take_v the_o immortality_n of_o the_o soul_n under_o his_o favour_n to_o be_v of_o that_o nature_n that_o to_o they_o only_o that_o be_v not_o verse_v in_o the_o way_n of_o prove_v it_o by_o reason_n it_o be_v a_o
