man_n will_v find_v that_o he_o be_v able_a to_o deprive_v himself_o of_o one_o pleasure_n when_o he_o be_v in_o view_n of_o another_o but_o he_o will_v never_o find_v his_o heart_n without_o the_o love_n of_o pleasure_n it_o be_v a_o empire_n of_o nature_n or_o to_o say_v better_o of_o the_o master_n of_o nature_n which_o we_o can_v no_o way_n resist_v our_o soul_n be_v indubitable_o push_v on_o continual_o by_o a_o great_a force_n towards_o pleasure_n and_o from_o thence_o be_v form_v in_o we_o that_o propensity_n towards_o good_a but_o which_o carry_v we_o towards_o sensible_a good_a be_v become_v by_o sin_n the_o matter_n and_o live_a source_n of_o a_o thousand_o passion_n which_o rule_v over_o we_o we_o love_v our_o body_n and_o the_o pleasure_n which_o we_o have_v from_o their_o occasion_n by_o a_o invincible_a empire_n although_o we_o see_v that_o this_o love_n be_v oftentimes_o in_o many_o of_o its_o act_n quite_o contrary_a to_o our_o duty_n and_o to_o the_o order_n of_o the_o supreme_a will_n and_o of_o reason_n the_o body_n entice_v we_o by_o our_o concupiscence_n against_o our_o conscience_n and_o against_o our_o reason_n and_o nature_n have_v equal_o place_v in_o we_o concupiscence_n and_o conscience_n passion_n and_o reason_n you_o see_v here_o six_o remarkable_a experience_n which_o i_o have_v be_v observe_v concern_v the_o empire_n and_o dominion_n which_o our_o soul_n suffer_v in_o our_o body_n on_o the_o part_n of_o the_o author_n of_o nature_n to_o which_o we_o may_v add_v other_o but_o since_o these_o here_o be_v sufficient_a to_o give_v we_o a_o great_a and_o clear_a sight_n and_o to_o prepare_v we_o to_o understand_v the_o manner_n how_o our_o soul_n be_v in_o our_o body_n and_o thereby_o our_o duty_n of_o dependence_n and_o of_o religion_n of_o fear_n and_o of_o love_n towards_o god_n and_o our_o obligation_n of_o justice_n and_o of_o charity_n towards_o mankind_n and_o of_o temperance_n towards_o ourselves_o therefore_o i_o will_v let_v the_o other_o alone_o without_o use_v they_o and_o so_o pass_v on_o to_o let_v you_o observe_v that_o as_o the_o author_n of_o nature_n command_v we_o and_o rule_n over_o we_o indubitable_o in_o all_o these_o manner_n in_o our_o body_n so_o he_o serve_v we_o also_o and_o obey_v we_o and_o if_o i_o may_v be_v permit_v to_o say_v so_o we_o command_v he_o in_o our_o turn_n and_o we_o be_v obey_v with_o a_o exact_a regularity_n chap._n iii_o experience_n of_o the_o power_n which_o govern_v nature_n and_o which_o come_v to_o the_o assistance_n of_o our_o soul_n in_o a_o moment_n i._o we_o find_v first_o that_o when_o we_o move_v our_o body_n we_o do_v no_o more_o precise_o than_o to_o will_v they_o to_o move_v for_o we_o do_v not_o feel_v that_o there_o go_v any_o kind_n of_o thing_n from_o we_o but_o the_o desire_n to_o move_v ourselves_o and_o the_o act_n of_o the_o determinative_a faculty_n of_o the_o will_n by_o the_o which_o we_o give_v a_o command_n to_o the_o body_n to_o move_v itself_o and_o because_o we_o know_v too_o well_o from_o other_o thing_n our_o dependence_n our_o weakness_n and_o our_o limit_a power_n to_o be_v able_a to_o believe_v that_o we_o have_v a_o power_n to_o operate_v any_o thing_n out_o of_o we_o by_o our_o will_n alone_o since_o that_o be_v the_o character_n of_o a_o infinite_a power_n as_o we_o have_v already_o say_v upon_o this_o indubitable_a experience_n which_o we_o have_v that_o do_v nothing_o but_o to_o will_n ourselves_o to_o move_v we_o do_v move_v ourselves_o nevertheless_o effective_o we_o therefore_o conclude_v that_o there_o must_v be_v a_o assist_v power_n which_o move_v our_o body_n in_o the_o moment_n that_o we_o will_v have_v it_o and_o as_o this_o power_n be_v immense_a and_o infinite_a since_o it_o operate_v through_o all_o in_o the_o same_o time_n move_v all_o the_o body_n of_o man_n when_o they_o will_v and_o that_o it_o be_v also_o indubitable_o enlighten_v wise_a and_o unchangeable_a since_o it_o do_v not_o move_v they_o but_o in_o the_o instant_n that_o we_o will_v and_o by_o the_o inviolable_a rule_n of_o a_o certain_a disposition_n in_o our_o nerve_n and_o in_o our_o member_n from_o whence_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o those_o that_o have_v the_o palsy_n can_v move_v themselves_o though_o they_o will_v we_o conclude_v therefore_o that_o this_o can_v be_v nothing_o but_o the_o power_n of_o the_o author_n of_o nature_n from_o whence_o we_o infer_v that_o the_o author_n of_o nature_n intermeddle_v between_o our_o soul_n and_o our_o body_n and_o that_o he_o take_v part_n and_o interest_n in_o their_o union_n and_o in_o the_o manner_n how_o these_o nature_n and_o these_o spiritual_a substance_n be_v in_o the_o terrestrial_a and_o mortal_a habitation_n of_o our_o body_n ii_o another_o experience_n of_o the_o same_o from_o the_o diversity_n of_o delectable_a and_o painful_a sentiment_n we_o find_v in_o the_o second_o place_n under_o this_o new_a consideration_n that_o this_o same_o enlighten_v immense_a and_o immutable_a power_n do_v continual_o serve_v our_o soul_n in_o our_o body_n for_o to_o advertise_v they_o in_o a_o instant_n of_o every_o thing_n that_o be_v do_v in_o they_o and_o to_o advertise_v they_o of_o it_o to_o their_o advantage_n too_o for_o so_o soon_o as_o there_o be_v any_o impression_n or_o any_o alteration_n make_v or_o cause_v within_o the_o body_n which_o of_o itself_o tend_v to_o the_o dissolution_n and_o destruction_n of_o it_o or_o even_o but_o to_o the_o encumbrance_n and_o hindrance_n of_o its_o function_n so_o soon_o the_o soul_n be_v in_o a_o instant_n advertise_v thereof_o by_o a_o sad_a and_o painful_a sentiment_n which_o she_o find_v herself_o sudden_o transpierce_v with_o as_o with_o a_o sharp_a point_a instrument_n which_o she_o find_v herself_o attack_v with_o without_o know_v whereby_o or_o how_o it_o enter_v and_o on_o the_o contrary_a if_o there_o be_v any_o motion_n make_v in_o her_o body_n which_o tend_v of_o itself_o either_o to_o its_o good_a disposition_n or_o to_o the_o conservation_n of_o a_o humane_a species_n the_o soul_n soon_o in_o a_o moment_n find_v herself_o penetrate_v and_o tickle_v with_o a_o agreeable_a sentiment_n which_o we_o call_v pleasure_n and_o delight_n without_o know_v in_o like_a manner_n either_o how_o or_o where_o it_o enter_v it_o be_v likewise_o in_o the_o same_o manner_n with_o indifferent_a impression_n which_o do_v neither_o good_a nor_o hurt_n to_o the_o body_n the_o soul_n be_v in_o like_a manner_n in_o a_o instant_n advertise_v by_o this_o illuminate_n immense_a and_o immutable_a power_n but_o not_o by_o the_o sentiment_n of_o pleasure_n or_o of_o pain_n which_o will_v be_v false_a if_o instead_o of_o impression_n indifferent_a to_o the_o body_n she_o shall_v give_v sentiment_n which_o may_v affectionate_a and_o determine_v it_o to_o love_n or_o to_o hate_n but_o sentiment_n indifferent_a such_o as_o be_v white_a black_a dry_a and_o moist_a and_o image_n and_o idea_n indifferent_a also_o which_o leave_v the_o soul_n the_o liberty_n of_o approach_v or_o withdraw_v itself_o from_o those_o object_n upon_o who_o occasion_n she_o have_v they_o i_o call_v this_o power_n immense_a because_o it_o operate_v through_o all_o at_o the_o same_o time_n within_o both_o pole_n and_o in_o the_o two_o hemisphere_n i_o call_v it_o illuminate_v because_o it_o neither_o give_v sals_o nor_o unreasonable_o neither_o idea_n nor_o sentiment_n and_o i_o call_v it_o immutable_a because_o it_o do_v not_o give_v they_o but_o by_o inviolable_a and_o immutable_a rule_n from_o which_o it_o never_o swerve_v iii_o a_o three_o experience_n that_o god_n act_v as_o a_o universal_a cause_n in_o the_o manner_n that_o he_o act_v upon_o our_o soul_n and_o upon_o our_o body_n we_o find_v in_o the_o three_o place_n that_o this_o power_n which_o act_v in_o we_o as_o well_o to_o obey_v and_o serve_v we_o as_o to_o rule_v over_o we_o act_v not_o between_o our_o soul_n and_o our_o body_n between_o who_o it_o act_v without_o cease_v as_o appear_v by_o all_o these_o experience_n which_o we_o have_v already_o
