degree_n of_o exercise_n of_o one_o faculty_n be_v seldom_o if_o ever_o as_o well_o provide_v in_o the_o rest_n it_o be_v a_o common_a and_o daily_a observation_n that_o those_o that_o be_v of_o

as_o there_o be_v fair_a instance_n even_o in_o this_o state_n of_o the_o inconsistence_n of_o the_o faculty_n in_o the_o high_a exercise_n so_o also_o be_v there_o other_o that_o suggest_v untous_a 3_o that_o by_o the_o same_o degree_n that_o some_o faculty_n fail_v in_o their_o strength_n and_o vigour_n other_o gain_v and_o be_v improve_v we_o know_v that_o the_o shut_n up_o of_o the_o sense_n be_v the_o let_v loose_a and_o enlarge_n of_o the_o fancy_n and_o we_o seldom_o have_v such_o strong_a imagination_n wake_v as_o in_o our_o dream_n in_o the_o silence_n of_o our_o other_o saculty_n as_o the_o sun_n recede_v the_o moon_n and_o star_n discover_v themselves_o and_o when_o it_o return_v they_o draw_v in_o their_o baffle_a beam_n and_o hide_v their_o head_n in_o obscurity_n but_o to_o urge_v what_o be_v more_o close_a and_o press_a it_o be_v a_o unerring_a remark_n that_o those_o that_o want_v the_o use_n of_o some_o one_o natural_a part_n or_o faculty_n be_v wont_a to_o have_v very_o liberal_a amends_o make_v they_o by_o a_o excellency_n in_o some_o other_o thus_o those_o that_o nature_n have_v deprive_v of_o sight_n use_v to_o have_v wonderful_o tenacious_a memory_n and_o the_o deaf_a and_o dumb_a have_v many_o time_n a_o strange_a kind_n of_o sagacity_n and_o very_o remarkable_a mechanical_a ingeny_n not_o to_o mention_v other_o instance_n for_o i_o will_v say_v no_o more_o than_o i_o must_v needs_o thus_o then_o experience_n give_v we_o encourage_v probability_n of_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o theorem_fw-la assert_v and_o in_o its_o self_n it_o be_v very_o

be_v able_a and_o yet_o be_v of_o a_o limit_a capacity_n it_o can_v employ_v but_o one_o in_o height_n of_o exercise_n at_o once_o which_o when_o it_o lose_v and_o abate_v of_o its_o strength_n and_o supreme_a vigour_n some_o other_o who_o improvement_n be_v all_o this_o while_n hinder_v by_o this_o its_o engross_a rival_n must_v by_o consequence_n begin_v now_o to_o display_v itself_o and_o awaken_v into_o a_o more_o vigorous_a actuation_n so_o that_o as_o the_o former_a lose_v the_o latter_a proportionable_o gain_v and_o indeed_o it_o be_v a_o great_a instance_n of_o the_o divine_a

increase_n of_o the_o low_a and_o they_o likewise_o have_v be_v remit_v without_o any_o advantage_n to_o the_o other_o faculty_n the_o soul_n may_v then_o at_o length_n fall_v into_o a_o

shall_v mention_v brief_o then_o and_o if_o it_o may_v be_v more_o plain_o the_o high_a faculty_n be_v those_o where_o by_o the_o soul_n act_v towards_o spiritual_a and_o immaterial_a object_n and_o the_o low_a whereby_o it_o act_v towards_o the_o body_n now_o it_o can_v with_o equal_a vigour_n exercise_v itself_o both_o way_n together_o and_o consequent_o the_o more_o it_o be_v take_v up_o in_o the_o high_a operation_n the_o more_o prompt_a and_o vigorous_a it_o will_v be_v in_o these_o exercise_n and_o less_o so_o about_o those_o that_o concern_v the_o body_n &_o è_fw-la conuerso_fw-la thus_o when_o we_o be_v very_o deep_o engage_v in_o intellectual_a contemplation_n our_o outward_a sense_n be_v in_o a_o manner_n shrink_v up_o and_o cramp_v and_o when_o our_o sense_n be_v high_o exercise_v and_o gratify_v those_o operation_n monopolise_v and_o employ_v we_o nor_o be_v this_o less_o observable_a in_o relation_n to_o the_o plastic_a for_o frequent_v and_o severe_a meditation_n do_v much_o mortify_v and_o weaken_v the_o body_n and_o we_o be_v most_o nourish_v in_o our_o sleep_n in_o the_o silence_n of_o our_o sense_n now_o what_o be_v thus_o true_a in_o respect_n of_o act_n and_o particular_a exercise_n be_v as_o much_o so_o in_o state_n and_o habit_n moreover_o it_o be_v apparent_a that_o the_o plastic_a be_v then_o most_o strong_a and_o vigorous_a when_o our_o other_o faculty_n be_v whole_o unemployed_a from_o the_o state_n of_o the_o womb_n for_o nature_n when_o she_o be_v at_o her_o plastic_a work_n cease_v all_o other_o operation_n the_o same_o we_o may_v take_v notice_n of_o in_o silkworm_n and_o other_o infect_v which_o lie_v as_o if_o they_o be_v dead_a and_o insensible_a while_o their_o low_a power_n be_v form_v they_o into_o another_o appearance_n all_o which_o thing_n put_v together_o give_v good_a evidence_n to_o the_o truth_n of_o our_o axiom_n i_o will_v conclude_v this_o with_o one_o remark_n more_o to_o prevent_v mistake_n therefore_o brief_o as_o the_o soul_n always_o act_n by_o the_o body_n so_o in_o its_o high_a exercise_n it_o use_v some_o of_o the_o inferior_a power_n which_o therefore_o must_v operate_v also_o so_o that_o some_o sense_n as_o sight_n and_o somewhat_o analagous_n to_o hear_v may_v be_v employ_v in_o considerable_a degree_n even_o when_o the_o high_a life_n be_v most_o predominant_a but_o than_o it_o be_v at_o the_o command_n and_o in_o the_o service_n of_o those_o noble_a power_n wherefore_o the_o sensitive_a life_n can_v for_o this_o cause_n be_v say_v to_o be_v invigorate_v since_o it_o be_v under_o servitude_n and_o subjection_n and_o its_o gust_n and_o pleasure_n be_v very_o weak_a and_o flaccid_a and_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n of_o that_o clause_n in_o the_o principle_n as_o to_o their_o proper_a exercise_n have_v thus_o lay_v the_o foundation_n and_o fix_v the_o pillar_n of_o our_o building_n i_o now_o come_v to_o advance_v the_o superstructure_n chap._n fourteen_o a_o

the_o best_a happy_a and_o most_o perfect_a condition_n that_o their_o respective_a nature_n render_v they_o capable_a of_o by_o axiom_n the_o first_o and_o therefore_o they_o be_v then_o constitute_v in_o the_o inactuation_n and_o exercise_n of_o their_o noble_a and_o most_o perfect_a power_n consequent_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n a_o considerable_a part_n of_o the_o divine_a workmanship_n be_v at_o

condition_n be_v unite_v with_o the_o most_o subtle_a and_o aethereal_a matter_n that_o it_o be_v capable_a of_o enact_v and_o the_o inferior_a power_n those_o relate_n to_o the_o body_n be_v at_o a_o

body_n according_o as_o the_o concern_v of_o the_o high_a faculty_n require_v thus_o then_o do_v we_o at_o first_o live_v and_o act_v in_o a_o pure_a and_o aethereal_a body_n and_o consequent_o in_o a_o

and_o suppose_v a_o conflict_n therefore_o we_o say_v that_o god_n be_v good_a and_o holy_a but_o not_o virtuous_a take_v away_o a_o possibility_n of_o evil_n and_o in_o the_o creature_n there_o be_v no_o moral_a goodness_n and_o then_o no_o reward_n no_o pleasure_n no_o happiness_n therefore_o in_o sum_n 5_o the_o divine_a goodness_n be_v manifest_v in_o make_v all_o creature_n suitable_o to_o those_o idea_n of_o their_o nature_n which_o he_o have_v in_o his_o all-comprehensive_a wisdom_n and_o their_o good_a and_o happiness_n consist_v in_o act_v according_a to_o those_o nature_n and_o in_o be_v furnish_v with_o all_o thing_n necessary_a for_o such_o action_n now_o the_o divine_a wisdom_n be_v no_o arbitrary_a thing_n that_o can_v change_v or_o alter_v those_o settle_a immutable_a idea_n of_o thing_n that_o be_v there_o represent_v it_o lop_v not_o off_o essential_a attribute_n of_o some_o being_n to_o inoculate_v they_o upon_o other_o but_o distinct_o comprehend_v all_o

it_o be_v much_o better_a that_o such_o as_o will_v wilful_o depart_v from_o the_o law_n of_o their_o bless_a nature_n and_o break_v through_o all_o restraint_n of_o the_o divine_a command_n shall_v

and_o their_o reinstating_a in_o a_o condition_n of_o life_n and_o self-injoyment_n after_o so_o high_o culpable_a delinquency_n be_v a_o great_a instance_n of_o the_o overflow_a fullness_n of_o the_o

notwithstanding_o the_o rude_a assault_n of_o this_o objection_n from_o which_o i_o pass_v to_o a_o four_o chap._n ix_o a_o four_o objection_n against_o the_o argument_n from_o god_n goodness_n viz._n

thence_o conclude_v that_o the_o world_n be_v both_o infinite_a and_o eternal_a since_o a_o infinite_a communication_n of_o goodness_n be_v better_a than_o a_o finite_a to_o this_o because_o i_o
