to_o its_o like_a therefore_o a_o wise_a man_n can_v only_o be_v say_v to_o be_v a_o priest_n a_o lover_n of_o god_n and_o fit_a to_o pray_v for_o he_o only_o can_v worship_n that_o confound_v not_o

temple_n for_o the_o reception_n of_o the_o celestial_a light_n 35._o hence_o it_o follow_v that_o he_o be_v true_o pious_a who_o have_v attain_v the_o knowledge_n of_o thing_n divine_a return_v his_o

36._o these_o 3_o last_o aphorism_n i_o have_v borrow_v from_o the_o comment_n of_o hiracle_n on_o the_o golden_a verse_n of_o pythagoras_n write_v in_o greek_n more_o than_o 2000_o year_n ago_o which_o may_v show_v that_o what_o i_o recommend_v be_v no_o novel_a but_o assert_v by_o the_o wise_a ancient_n of_o reason_n from_o whence_o it_o proceed_v and_o cause_n of_o its_o variety_n in_o mankind_n 1._o there_o be_v scarce_o any_o thing_n wherein_o man_n be_v more_o proud_a of_o himself_o than_o in_o a_o certain_a faculty_n which_o he_o call_v reason_n hence_o aristotle_n define_v man_n to_o be_v a_o rational_a creature_n though_o yet_o according_a to_o his_o own_o method_n of_o logic_n which_o be_v the_o art_n of_o reason_v it_o be_v think_v several_a undergraduate_v animal_n

most_o our_o age_n have_v know_v who_o lay_v it_o down_o as_o a_o maxim_n that_o as_o oft_o as_o reason_n be_v against_o a_o man_n that_o be_v against_o advantage_n and_o inclination_n so_o oft_o will_v a_o man_n be_v against_o reason_n witness_v also_o that_o prodigy_n of_o wit_n the_o late_a earl_n of_o r_o who_o with_o the_o high_a colour_n of_o reason_n write_v a_o virulent_a satyr_n against_o reason_n itself_o endeavour_v to_o expose_v it_o as_o the_o great_a plague_n of_o human_a kind_n and_o which_o render_v they_o both_o more_o absurd_a and_o miserable_a than_o the_o most_o

about_o this_o matter_n which_o will_v further_o appear_v if_o we_o consider_v that_o what_o one_o man_n assert_n and_o contend_v for_o as_o the_o most_o rational_a thing_n in_o the_o world_n another_o no_o way_n his_o inferior_a for_o part_n shall_v explode_v and_o laugh_v at_o as_o most_o absurd_a and_o contrary_a to_o reason_n and_o this_o contradiction_n be_v not_o only_o see_v in_o particular_a man_n but_o between_o great_a and_o numerous_a party_n sect_n and_o whole_a nation_n in_o thing_n of_o the_o great_a importance_n and_o daily_o in_o practice_n among_o they_o as_o their_o custom_n law_n rite_n and_o ceremony_n both_o civil_a and_o religious_a the_o story_n be_v well_o know_v of_o that_o eastern_a prince_n who_o have_v get_v in_o his_o army_n some_o indian_n that_o be_v

custom_n and_o suffer_v their_o father_n to_o be_v inter_v who_o cry_v out_o unanimous_o let_v the_o god_n forbid_v that_o we_o shall_v commit_v such_o unreasonable_a impiety_n as_o to_o expose_v the_o dear_a corpse_n of_o our_o ancestor_n to_o rot_v in_o the_o vile_a of_o element_n but_o when_o to_o the_o other_o on_o the_o contrary_a he_o propose_v the_o eat_v of_o their_o friend_n body_n they_o reject_v it_o with_o horror_n as_o the_o most_o unreasonable_a overture_n in_o the_o world_n 3._o since_o therefore_o the_o reason_n of_o mankind_n appear_v to_o be_v so_o different_a i_o shall_v endeavour_v brief_o to_o penetrate_v into_o the_o original_a ground_n of_o such_o its_o variety_n in_o order_n whereunto_o it_o will_v be_v requisite_a to_o consider_v the_o three_o grand_a principle_n or_o fountain_n the_o understanding_n and_o distinguish_v of_o which_o will_v render_v we_o capable_a to_o know_v the_o root_n whence_o the_o variety_n of_o man_n reason_v do_v arise_v and_o proceed_v for_o to_o whichsoever_o of_o those_o each_o man_n have_v devote_v himself_o or_o enter_v into_o with_o his_o will_n suitable_a thereunto_o will_v his_o reason_n be_v 4._o the_o first_o principle_n or_o fountain_n be_v the_o original_a fire_n or_o fountain_n of_o all_o thing_n the_o cause_n of_o all_o life_n and_o motion_n which_o in_o its_o own_o nature_n devoid_a of_o the_o son_n property_n be_v a_o dark_a poisonous_a fierce_a consume_a fire_n as_o the_o high_o worthy_a moses_n say_v the_o father_n be_v a_o jealous_a angry_a god_n and_o a_o consume_a fire_n that_o be_v without_o the_o qualification_n of_o the_o divine_a power_n or_o son_n of_o god_n for_o it_o be_v the_o son_n that_o influence_n qualify_v enlighten_v and_o reconcile_v the_o dark_a harsh_a father_n and_o unite_v the_o soul_n to_o its_o creator_n for_o from_o this_o dark_a harsh_a principle_n the_o soul_n of_o man_n take_v its_o original_a be_v a_o unbounded_a fountain_n have_v in_o itself_o a_o

can_v be_v then_o it_o be_v in_o its_o own_o nature_n for_o this_o cause_n the_o great_a light_n of_o the_o world_n say_v he_o come_v to_o seek_v and_o to_o save_v that_o which_o be_v lose_v viz._n the_o soul_n of_o man_n which_o have_v depart_v and_o separate_v from_o the_o guidance_n of_o the_o holy_a principle_n and_o live_v in_o the_o operation_n of_o its_o own_o nature_n and_o fierce_a harsh_a fire_n now_o if_o man_n enter_v with_o his_o will_n into_o this_o fierce_a poisonous_a dark_a harsh_a principle_n and_o separate_v himself_o f●om_o the_o light_n and_o suffer_v his_o soul_n
