not_o so_o different_a from_o natural_a question_n as_o perhaps_o we_o may_v think_v they_o to_o be_v we_o must_v do_v very_o nigh_o the_o same_o thing_n to_o resolve_v both_o for_o if_o the_o craft_n

and_o these_o darkness_n must_v be_v disperse_v by_o the_o attention_n of_o the_o mind_n and_o experiment_n which_o be_v kind_a of_o demand_n that_o we_o make_v to_o the_o author_n of_o nature_n even_o as_o we_o take_v away_o equivocal_a and_o useless_a circumstance_n from_o arbitrary_a question_n by_o attention_n of_o the_o mind_n and_o by_o the_o proper_a demand_n we_o make_v to_o those_o who_o propose_v they_o but_o let_v we_o explain_v these_o thing_n methodical_o and_o in_o a_o more_o serious_a and_o instructive_a manner_n there_o be_v a_o great_a number_n of_o question_n which_o seem_v very_o difficult_a because_o we_o understand_v they_o not_o and_o which_o therefore_o want_v a_o explication_n yet_o which_o ought_v rather_o to_o pass_v for_o axiom_n than_o true_a question_n for_o it_o seem_v to_o i_o that_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o place_n in_o the_o number_n of_o question_n certain_a undoubted_a proposition_n who_o term_n we_o conceive_v we_o demand_v for_o instance_n as_o a_o question_n difficult_a to_o be_v resolve_v whether_o or_o no_o the_o soul_n be_v immortal_a because_o those_o that_o make_v the_o question_n or_o that_o pretend_v to_o resolve_v it_o do_v not_o clear_o conceive_v the_o term_n of_o it_o as_o the_o word_n soul_n and_o immortal_a signify_v different_a thing_n and_o know_v not_o how_o they_o be_v understand_v so_o they_o can_v resolve_v whether_o it_o be_v immortal_a or_o not_o for_o they_o neither_o know_v precise_o what_o they_o demand_v nor_o what_o they_o seek_v by_o this_o word_n soul_n we_o may_v understand_v a_o substance_n which_o think_v will_n feel_v etc._n etc._n we_o may_v take_v the_o soul_n for_o the_o circulation_n of_o the_o blood_n and_o configuration_n of_o the_o part_n of_o the_o body_n or_o we_o may_v take_v it_o for_o the_o blood_n and_o animal_n spirit_n so_o by_o this_o word_n immortal_a we_o mean_v what_o can_v perish_v by_o the_o ordinary_a power_n of_o nature_n or_o else_o what_o can_v never_o change_v or_o what_o can_v neither_o corrupt_v nor_o dissipate_v like_o a_o vapour_n or_o smoke_n thus_o suppose_v we_o take_v the_o word_n soul_n and_o immortal_a in_o some_o one_o of_o these_o signification_n the_o least_o attention_n of_o mind_n will_v make_v we_o able_a to_o judge_v whether_o it_o be_v immortal_a or_o not_o for_o first_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o the_o soul_n take_v in_o the_o first_o sense_n viz._n for_o a_o substance_n which_o think_v be_v immortal_a if_o we_o also_o take_v immortal_a in_o the_o first_o sense_n for_o what_o can_v perish_v by_o the_o common_a power_n of_o nature_n for_o it_o be_v not_o even_o conceivable_a that_o any_o substance_n can_v become_v nothing_o we_o must_v have_v recourse_n to_o the_o extraordinary_a power_n of_o god_n to_o conceive_v it_o possible_a second_o the_o soul_n be_v immortal_a if_o we_o take_v immortal_a in_o the_o three_o sense_n for_o what_o can_v corrupt_v nor_o resolve_v into_o a_o vapour_n or_o smoke_n for_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o what_o can_v be_v divide_v into_o a_o infinite_a number_n of_o part_n can_v corrupt_v or_o be_v resolve_v into_o a_o vapour_n three_o the_o soul_n be_v not_o immortal_a if_o we_o take_v immortal_a in_o the_o second_o sense_n for_o what_o can_v change_v for_o we_o have_v sufficient_a convince_a proof_n of_o the_o variation_n of_o our_o soul_n that_o sometime_o it_o feel_v pain_n sometime_o pleasure_n sometime_o it_o will_v certain_a thing_n and_o then_o again_o cease_v to_o will_v they_o as_o be_v unite_v to_o the_o body_n it_o can_v be_v separate_v from_o they_o etc._n etc._n if_o we_o take_v the_o word_n soul_n in_o any_o other_o signification_n it_o will_v be_v very_o easy_a to_o see_v whether_o it_o be_v immortal_a or_o not_o by_o take_v the_o word_n immortal_a in_o a_o fix_a and_o certain_a sense_n so_o that_o what_o make_v these_o question_n difficult_a be_v because_o we_o conceive_v they_o not_o distinct_o and_o the_o term_n which_o express_v they_o be_v equivocal_a so_o that_o they_o have_v rather_o need_v of_o explanation_n than_o proof_n it_o be_v true_a some_o person_n be_v stupid_a enough_o and_o other_o sufficient_o imaginative_a to_o take_v the_o soul_n always_o for_o a_o certain_a configuration_n of_o the_o part_n of_o the_o brain_n arid_a motion_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o it_o be_v certain_o impossible_a to_o prove_v to_o these_o sort_n of_o man_n that_o the_o soul_n be_v imortal_a and_o can_v perish_v for_o on_o the_o contrary_a it_o be_v evident_a that_o the_o soul_n take_v in_o the_o sense_n they_o understand_v it_o be_v mortal_a so_o that_o it_o be_v not_o a_o question_n difficult_a to_o resolve_v but_o a_o proposition_n difficult_a to_o make_v man_n understand_v which_o have_v not_o the_o same_o idea_n of_o

question_v whatever_o we_o must_v immediate_o take_v away_o the_o equivocal_a term_n and_o know_v in_o what_o sense_n they_o be_v take_v that_o we_o may_v be_v able_a distinct_o to_o conceive_v the_o

to_o prepare_v other_o sort_n of_o diet_n than_o nature_n supply_v indeed_o i_o confess_v it_o necessary_a that_o man_n shall_v make_v use_n of_o the_o same_o reason_n to_o moderate_v their_o eat_v

it_o be_v certain_a that_o highseasoned_n dish_n which_o we_o feed_v on_o do_v by_o their_o too_o penetrate_a particle_n hurt_v the_o fibre_n of_o our_o tongue_n and_o vitiate_v its_o delicateness_n and_o discernment_n the_o example_n of_o such_o as_o relish_v only_a ragoos_n be_v a_o proof_n of_o this_o for_o if_o we_o find_v no_o savour_n in_o corn_n and_o raw_a flesh_n it_o be_v because_o our_o tongue_n be_v become_v insensible_a of_o their_o part_n their_o motion_n be_v moderate_a but_o though_o we_o suppose_v there_o be_v fruit_n who_o taste_n be_v capable_a of_o beguile_v the_o most_o delicate_a sense_n and_o which_o be_v yet_o in_o their_o natural_a perfection_n we_o must_v not_o believe_v that_o this_o be_v the_o effect_n of_o sin_n but_o because_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o the_o sensation_n of_o taste_n which_o be_v form_v and_o perfect_v according_a to_o the_o most_o simple_a law_n of_o nature_n shall_v have_v sufficient_a discernment_n for_o all_o sort_n of_o meat_n beside_o the_o defect_n of_o this_o sense_n will_v not_o be_v remediless_a because_o when_o mother_n have_v a_o aversion_n for_o dangerous_a fruit_n they_o communicate_v it_o to_o their_o

our_o soul_n and_o body_n shall_v be_v very_o simple_a they_o must_v be_v very_o general_a and_o god_n ought_v not_o to_o establish_v particular_a law_n for_o case_n that_o happen_v very_o seldom_o reason_n on_o such_o occasion_n must_v assist_v the_o sense_n for_o reason_n be_v useful_a in_o all_o thing_n but_o the_o sense_n be_v determine_v by_o some_o natural_a judgement_n which_o be_v more_o

very_o simple_a be_v often_o sufficient_a to_o restore_v our_o health_n that_o it_o be_v a_o much_o sure_a way_n to_o follow_v they_o than_o to_o use_v our_o reason_n or_o such_o physician_n who_o do_v not_o careful_o study_v the_o disposition_n of_o their_o patient_n for_o even_o as_o a_o wound_n close_v up_o and_o heal_v of_o itself_o when_o constant_o cleanse_v and_o lick_v as_o be_v see_v

of_o instinct_n and_o sensation_n dictate_v to_o we_o a_o man_n for_o example_n who_o have_v a_o fever_n find_v that_o wine_n be_v bitter_a and_o offensive_a to_o he_o in_o that_o condition_n yet_o

this_o relish_n be_v not_o a_o effect_n of_o some_o previous_a habit_n of_o drink_v but_o that_o their_o desire_n of_o it_o proceed_v from_o the_o present_a disposition_n of_o their_o body_n so_o that_o we_o can_v doubt_v but_o that_o we_o ought_v to_o consult_v our_o sense_n in_o sickness_n what_o way_n we_o shall_v take_v for_o the_o recovery_n of_o our_o health_n and_o this_o be_v what_o

on_o nothing_o that_o may_v determine_v it_o observe_v their_o present_a inclination_n and_o examine_v whither_o it_o be_v the_o effect_n of_o their_o disposition_n this_o do_v they_o ought_v to_o

and_o it_o be_v sometime_o useful_a to_o consult_v some_o experience_a person_n upon_o it_o but_o if_o the_o sick_a let_v loose_a his_o imagination_n as_o i_o have_v say_v find_v nothing_o present_v to_o his_o mind_n he_o must_v rest_v and_o keep_v to_o a_o sick_a diet_n for_o this_o will_v probable_o excite_v in_o he_o some_o desire_n or_o dissipate_v the_o humour_n that_o cause_v the_o
