the_o body_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o relation_n there_o be_v between_o all_o the_o part_n thereof_o may_v very_o proper_o be_v call_v the_o natural_a sign_n of_o the_o state_n the_o body_n be_v in_o i_o shall_v be_v careful_a to_o forbear_v when_o the_o eye_n and_o face_n or_o even_o the_o cry_n of_o those_o body_n shall_v not_o appear_v to_o i_o excite_v but_o by_o the_o object_n that_o may_v benefit_n or_o hurt_v they_o to_o believe_v that_o those_o external_a motion_n be_v the_o sign_n of_o any_o thought_n but_o yet_o when_o i_o shall_v see_v that_o those_o body_n shall_v make_v sign_n that_o shall_v have_v no_o respect_n at_o all_o to_o the_o state_n they_o be_v in_o nor_o to_o their_o conservation_n when_o i_o shall_v see_v that_o those_o sign_n shall_v agree_v with_o those_o which_o i_o shall_v have_v make_v to_o express_v my_o thought_n when_o i_o shall_v see_v that_o they_o shall_v give_v i_o idea_n i_o have_v not_o before_o and_o which_o shall_v relate_v to_o the_o thing_n i_o have_v already_o in_o my_o mind_n last_o when_o i_o shall_v see_v a_o great_a sequel_n between_o their_o sign_n and_o i_o i_o shall_v not_o be_v reasonable_a if_o i_o believe_v not_o that_o they_o be_v such_o as_o i_o be_o thus_o i_o have_v no_o more_o cause_n to_o doubt_v concern_v this_o point_n for_o i_o have_v many_o a_o thousand_o like_a trial_n and_o i_o have_v not_o only_o see_v a_o great_a connexion_n between_o their_o sign_n and_o my_o thought_n but_o i_o have_v also_o find_v so_o great_a a_o one_o between_o their_o sign_n and_o i_o that_o i_o can_v doubt_v no_o long_o of_o their_o thought_n and_o if_o the_o power_n i_o have_v to_o hinder_v that_o the_o exterior_a motion_n of_o my_o face_n and_o the_o other_o sign_n of_o my_o passion_n may_v not_o express_v they_o have_v be_v one_o of_o the_o reason_n i_o have_v have_v to_o acknowledge_v that_o my_o thought_n be_v very_o different_a from_o the_o motion_n that_o be_v wont_a to_o accompany_v they_o i_o can_v now_o assure_v not_o only_o that_o those_o other_o body_n which_o resemble_v i_o have_v thought_n but_o also_o though_o they_o can_v as_o i_o myself_o not_o let_v they_o always_o be_v so_o join_v to_o the_o motion_n which_o use_v to_o signify_v they_o that_o one_o ought_v always_o to_o trust_v they_o yet_o i_o have_v find_v that_o they_o know_v the_o art_n of_o constrain_a themselves_o and_o frequent_o after_o many_o sign_n on_o their_o side_n and_o i_o which_o show_v i_o that_o they_o understand_v my_o thought_n and_o make_v i_o believe_v that_o i_o understand_v they_o i_o perceive_v they_o have_v a_o design_n to_o deceive_v i_o now_o then_o since_o i_o may_v doubt_v no_o long_o that_o the_o body_n which_o resemble_v i_o be_v unite_v to_o soul_n and_o in_o a_o word_n since_o i_o be_o assure_v that_o there_o be_v other_o man_n beside_o myself_o i_o think_v i_o ought_v careful_o to_o inquire_v into_o what_o remain_v to_o know_v of_o speech_n hitherto_o i_o have_v discourse_v of_o it_o but_o in_o general_a and_o say_v only_o that_o to_o speak_v be_v to_o give_v sign_n of_o one_o thought_n but_o in_o regard_n that_o the_o little_a reflection_n i_o have_v make_v on_o these_o sign_n have_v already_o discover_v to_o i_o so_o important_a a_o truth_n and_o that_o i_o also_o see_v that_o those_o same_o sign_n be_v the_o only_a mean_n to_o entertain_v society_n among_o man_n which_o be_v the_o great_a good_a they_o have_v in_o this_o world_n i_o intend_v as_o much_o as_o i_o can_v to_o observe_v the_o different_a sort_n of_o they_o together_o with_o their_o property_n and_o to_o endeavour_v to_o discover_v all_o the_o wonder_n of_o they_o to_o learn_v all_o their_o use_n one_o of_o the_o chief_a thing_n i_o find_v worthy_a of_o consideration_n touch_v these_o sign_n be_v that_o they_o have_v not_o any_o resemblance_n to_o the_o thought_n which_o man_n join_v to_o they_o by_o institution_n and_o indeed_o whether_o we_o express_v our_o thought_n by_o gesture_n by_o discourse_n or_o by_o character_n which_o be_v the_o three_o sort_n of_o the_o most_o use_a sign_n by_o which_o we_o manifest_v our_o thought_n we_o can_v but_o see_v if_o we_o consider_v it_o with_o some_o attention_n that_o there_o be_v nothing_o less_o resemble_v our_o thought_n than_o be_v all_o that_o which_o serve_v we_o to_o express_v they_o for_o when_o a_o man_n to_o declare_v that_o he_o agree_v not_o with_o i_o in_o such_o or_o such_o a_o thing_n be_v shake_v his_o head_n and_o when_o the_o better_a to_o express_v it_o he_o move_v his_o throat_n tongue_n tooth_n and_o lip_n to_o form_v word_n or_o take_v paper_n and_o with_o a_o pen_n trace●_n character_n to_o write_v it_o to_o i_o i_o see_v so_o little_a resemblance_n betwixt_o all_o those_o motion_n of_o the_o head_n of_o the_o mouth_n or_o o●_n the_o hand_n and_o what_o they_o teach_v i_o that_o i_o can_v enough_o wonder_v how_o they_o so_o easy_o give_v i_o the_o understanding_n of_o a_o thing_n they_o so_o ill_o represent_v but_o what_o be_v most_o admirable_a herein_o be_v that_o this_o vast_a difference_n between_o those_o sign_n and_o our_o thought_n do_v by_o mark_v to_o we_o that_o which_o be_v between_o our_o body_n and_o soul_n teach_v we_o at_o the_o same_o time_n the_o whole_a secret_n of_o their_o union_n at_o least_o methinks_v that_o that_o strict_a union_n which_o the_o sole_a institution_n or_o man_n be_v able_a to_o settle_v betwixt_o certain_a external_a motion_n and_o our_o thought_n be_v to_o he_o that_o will_v consider_v it_o the_o best_a mean_n to_o conceive_v wherein_o in_o truth_n consist_v the_o union_n of_o the_o body_n and_o the_o soul_n for_o cartain_o if_o we_o do_v conceive_v that_o man_n can_v by_o institution_n join_v certain_a motion_n to_o certain_a thought_n it_o can_v be_v hard_o to_o conceive_v that_o the_o author_n of_o nature_n in_o form_v a_o man_n so_o well_o unite_v some_o thought_n of_o his_o soul_n to_o some_o motion_n of_o his_o body_n that_o those_o motion_n can_v be_v raise_v in_o the_o body_n but_o the_o thought_n must_v also_o be_v forthwith_o excite_v in_o the_o soul_n and_o that_o reciprocal_o as_o soon_o as_o the_o soul_n will_v have_v the_o body_n move_v after_o a_o certain_a manner_n it_o be_v so_o at_o the_o same_o time_n for_o the_o rest_n it_o be_v evident_a that_o from_o this_o so_o necessary_a relation_n which_o the_o author_n of_o nature_n maintain_v betwixt_o the_o body_n and_o the_o soul_n it_o be_v that_o that_o necessity_n of_o make_v sign_n to_o express_v our_o thought_n have_v its_o rise_n for_o see_v the_o soul_n can_v have_v no_o though_o but_o at_o the_o occasion_n whereof_o there_o will_v be_v make_v a_o motion_n in_o the_o body_n and_o that_o also_o she_o can_v receive_v any_o idea_n of_o what_o be_v without_o but_o by_o the_o motion_n excite_v in_o the_o body_n which_o she_o animate_v it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o two_o soul_n unite_v to_o two_o different_a body_n do_v express_v their_o thought_n by_o motion_n or_o if_o you_o will_v by_o outward_a sign_n but_o to_o know_v persect_o how_o that_o be_v do_v there_o needs_o in_o my_o opinion_n to_o be_v make_v but_o a_o little_a reflection_n on_o what_o i_o have_v already_o observe_v about_o the_o principal_a difference_n of_o sign_n on_o the_o particular_a cause_n of_o each_o and_o on_o the_o reason_n man_n have_v to_o use_v they_o and_o first_o if_o it_o be_v true_a that_o certain_a motion_n of_o the_o face_n and_o certain_a cry_n do_v natural_o follow_v certain_a condition_n of_o the_o body_n by_o virtue_n of_o the_o relation_n which_o be_v between_o all_o the_o part_n thereof_o we_o must_v believe_v that_o the_o thought_n which_o be_v natural_o join_v to_o those_o motion_n of_o the_o face_n and_o to_o these_o cry_n be_v the_o passion_n which_o the_o soul_n suffer_v at_o the_o occasion_n of_o the_o state_n the_o body_n be_v in_o so_o that_o if_o a_o man_n have_v well_o observe_v his_o eye_n his_o face_n and_o all_o the_o outward_a part_n of_o his_o body_n during_o the_o time_n he_o have_v be_v in_o certain_a passion_n he_o have_v be_v able_a see_v the_o same_o motion_n in_o another_o man_n to_o judge_n that_o that_o man_n feel_v the_o same_o passion_n it_o be_v true_a if_o at_o time_n he_o have_v be_v so_o dextrous_a as_o to_o constrain_v himself_o in_o the_o like_a state_n he_o may_v have_v learn_v to_o mistruct_v those_o sign_n but_o still_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o they_o be_v natural_o proper_a to_o declare_v passion_n and_o that_o the_o best_a mean_n to_o make_v one_o understand_v what_o the_o soul_n suffer_v be_v not_o to_o constrain_v the_o face_n the_o eye_n or_o the_o voice_n it_o be_v the_o most_o natural_a way_n to_o
examine_v the_o effect_n it_o produce_v in_o the_o ear_n it_o strike_v and_o in_o the_o brain_n it_o shake_v in_o regard_n that_o the_o anatomy_n of_o the_o ear_n be_v a_o thing_n common_o know_v and_o that_o it_o be_v sufficient_a for_o every_o one_o to_o be_v persuade_v in_o the_o general_n that_o it_o be_v a_o organ_n dispose_v to_o receive_v the_o air_n when_o it_o be_v propel_v by_o body_n which_o by_o touch_v one_o another_o drive_v it_o from_o betwixt_o they_o or_o repel_v by_o hard_a body_n or_o issue_v out_o of_o the_o lung_n of_o a_o animal_n i_o shall_v make_v no_o description_n of_o it_o i_o desire_v only_o it_o may_v be_v observe_v that_o as_o many_o different_a shake_n there_o be_v in_o the_o air_n so_o many_o different_a sort_n there_o be_v of_o its_o pass_v into_o the_o ear_n and_o that_o according_a to_o those_o diversity_n it_o cause_v a_o different_a agitation_n in_o the_o membrane_n stretch_v out_o in_o the_o bottom_n of_o the_o ear_n and_o in_o the_o nerve_n answer_v thereto_o it_o may_v also_o be_v judge_v by_o what_o we_o know_v of_o the_o construction_n of_o animal_n even_o of_o beast_n that_o according_a as_o the_o agitation_n of_o the_o nerve_n of_o the_o ear_n be_v different_a the_o brain_n must_v be_v agitate_a in_o different_a part_n and_o likewise_o that_o it_o be_v always_o according_a as_o those_o different_a part_n be_v agitate_a that_o the_o spirit_n be_v different_o distribute_v into_o the_o member_n but_o all_o that_o be_v perform_v by_o a_o necessary_a sequel_n of_o the_o mechanical_a disposition_n of_o the_o whole_a body_n of_o every_o animal_n and_o even_o of_o every_o beast_n which_o be_v of_o a_o certain_a kind_n that_o be_v make_v for_o one_o thing_n or_o another_o have_v all_o what_o be_v necessary_a to_o effect_v what_o the_o author_n of_o nature_n propose_v to_o himself_o in_o form_v it_o it_o have_v the_o brain_n so_o adjust_v according_a to_o its_o temperament_n for_o all_o what_o may_v conserve_v it_o that_o if_o the_o object_n which_o can_v hurt_v it_o move_v its_o brain_n it_o be_v always_o after_o such_o a_o manner_n which_o make_v it_o to_o open_v in_o the_o place_n whence_o the_o spirit_n may_v flow_v into_o the_o muscle_n which_o serve_v to_o make_v it_o retire_v from_o those_o object_n and_o if_o the_o object_n which_o can_v benefit_v it_o move_v its_o brain_n it_o be_v always_o in_o such_o a_o manner_n as_o make_v it_o to_o open_v in_o the_o place_n whence_o the_o spirit_n may_v be_v diffuse_v into_o the_o muscle_n which_o serve_v to_o make_v it_o approach_v to_o those_o object_n so_o that_o if_o we_o suppose_v that_o one_o and_o the_o same_o noise_n strike_v the_o ear_n of_o two_o beast_n of_o differ_a kind_n do_v agitate_v at_o the_o same_o time_n their_o brain_n we_o be_v to_o believe_v that_o that_o agitation_n be_v diverse_o make_v in_o each_o and_o in_o different_a part_n of_o their_o brain_n according_a as_o that_o which_o cause_v the_o noise_n shall_v be_v agreeable_a or_o contrary_a to_o it_o it_o will_v also_o happen_v that_o the_o course_n of_o the_o spirit_n be_v necessary_o different_a in_o those_o two_o beast_n one_o of_o they_o shall_v be_v carry_v far_o from_o the_o object_n whilst_o the_o other_o approach_v to_o it_o thus_o the_o howl_n of_o a_o wolf_n may_v make_v a_o sheep_n fly_v but_o at_o the_o same_o time_n bring_v to_o he_o another_o wolf_n but_o it_o be_v necessary_a to_o observe_v here_o that_o although_o the_o art_n whereby_o the_o brain_n of_o animal_n be_v compose_v be_v infinite_o vary_v and_o that_o it_o be_v admirable_a herein_o that_o according_a to_o their_o different_a conformation_n it_o be_v always_o find_v so_o artificial_o dispose_v that_o those_o creature_n must_v necessary_o and_o according_a to_o all_o the_o rule_n of_o the_o mechanic_n approach_v to_o what_o be_v natural_o good_a for_o they_o and_o retire_v from_o what_o be_v natural_o noxious_a to_o they_o yet_o it_o be_v not_o possible_a that_o within_o the_o small_a compass_n of_o their_o brain_n there_o shall_v be_v so_o many_o differ_a spring_n that_o they_o can_v have_v a_o proportion_n necessary_a and_o always_o well_o suit_v to_o all_o sort_n of_o object_n but_o instead_o thereof_o their_o brain_n be_v make_v of_o a_o substance_n soft_a enough_o easy_o to_o receive_v new_a impression_n and_o yet_o consistent_a enough_o to_o retain_v those_o which_o in_o some_o place_n thereof_o be_v make_v by_o certain_a object_n which_o be_v neither_o natural_o good_a nor_o ill_a for_o they_o do_v yet_o sometime_o occasion_n considerable_a benefit_n or_o mischief_n to_o they_o and_o frequent_o those_o trace_n which_o at_o first_o be_v not_o in_o the_o brain_n remain_v there_o so_o well_o mark_v that_o when_o the_o object_n which_o cause_v they_o present_v themselves_o the_o place_n keep_v the_o impression_n be_v more_o agitate_a by_o they_o than_o the_o other_o diffuse_v thence_o such_o

more_o than_o may_v serve_v for_o my_o intent_n it_o be_v to_o be_v consider_v that_o if_o for_o speak_v a_o man_n needs_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o part_n that_o serve_v for_o the_o voice_n and_o if_o for_o hear_v there_o be_v need_n of_o the_o agitation_n of_o the_o part_n that_o serve_v for_o hear_v there_o need_v nothing_o between_o two_o spirit_n to_o communicate_v their_o thought_n to_o

be_v also_o easy_a to_o apprehend_v that_o if_o two_o spirit_n who_o depend_v not_o from_o the_o body_n in_o their_o operation_n will_v discover_v to_o one_o another_o their_o thought_n they_o have_v nothing_o to_o do_v but_o to_o will_v it_o there_o be_v i_o think_v much_o less_o difficulty_n to_o conceiv_v the_o one_o than_o the_o other_o as_o i_o have_v already_o observe_v for_o in_o speech_n there_o be_v two_o thing_n viz._n the_o will_n to_o communicate_v one_o thought_n and_o the_o motion_n by_o which_o they_o be_v communicate_v but_o those_o motion_n have_v so_o little_a affinity_n in_o themselves_o to_o the_o thought_n that_o it_o seem_v very_o strange_a how_o a_o thought_n can_v be_v so_o well_o unite_v to_o a_o motion_n as_o that_o the_o one_o shall_v be_v a_o occasion_n to_o know_v the_o other_o whereas_o in_o the_o manifestation_n which_o two_o spirit_n make_v to_o one_o another_o of_o their_o thought_n there_o need_v nothing_o but_o the_o will_v to_o communicate_v

to_o we_o that_o truth_n i_o think_v our_o reason_n can_v attain_v to_o it_o and_o i_o esteem_v that_o reflect_v a_o little_a on_o what_o the_o thread_n of_o my_o subject_n have_v oblige_v i_o to_o

i_o think_v i_o be_v to_o make_v a_o end_n after_o i_o have_v consider_v the_o sundry_a way_n by_o which_o thought_n may_v be_v communicate_v see_v that_o that_o be_v proper_o what_o we_o call_v to_o speak_v i_o can_v wish_v that_o the_o discourse_n i_o have_v make_v of_o it_o may_v prove_v as_o pleasant_a to_o other_o as_o the_o reflection_n it_o have_v oblige_v i_o to_o make_v have_v be_v to_o i_o i_o avow_v they_o have_v be_v all_o the_o divertisement_n i_o have_v enjoy_v during_o the_o last_o vacation_n and_o as_o it_o be_v at_o least_o in_o that_o time_n permit_v to_o comply_v with_o

divert_v myself_o to_o conclude_v this_o argument_n be_v so_o pleasant_a and_o so_o fertile_a that_o one_o need_v but_o to_o propose_v it_o and_o it_o will_v beget_v a_o thousand_o please_a thought_n and_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o all_o those_o that_o excel_v i_o in_o genius_n will_v find_v by_o occasion_n of_o this_o discourse_n a_o thousand_o pretty_a thing_n which_o i_o have_v omit_v so_o that_o without_o boast_v of_o my_o book_n i_o may_v affirm_v that_o the_o more_o wit_n a_o man_n have_v the_o more_o pleasure_n he_o will_v find_v to_o read_v it_o a_o discourse_n of_o speech_n among_o the_o body_n i_o see_v in_o the_o world_n i_o perceive_v some_o that_o be_v in_o all_o thing_n like_o i_o and_o i_o confess_v i_o have_v a_o great_a inclination_n to_o believe_v that_o they_o be_v unite_v to_o soul_n as_o i_o be_v but_o when_o i_o come_v to_o consider_v that_o my_o body_n have_v so_o many_o operation_n distinct_a from_o those_o of_o my_o soul_n and_o that_o nothing_o of_o what_o make_v it_o subsist_v depend_v at_o all_o from_o she_o i_o think_v i_o have_v at_o least_o ground_n to_o doubt_n that_o those_o body_n be_v unite_v to_o soul_n until_o i_o have_v examine_v all_o their_o action_n and_o i_o do_v even_o see_v that_o by_o the_o maxim_n of_o good_a sense_n i_o shall_v be_v oblige_v to_o believe_v that_o they_o have_v no_o soul_n if_o they_o do_v only_o such_o thing_n whereof_o i_o have_v find_v in_o myself_o that_o the_o body_n alone_o may_v be_v the_o cause_n thus_o if_o i_o see_v that_o the_o object_n make_v different_a impression_n on_o they_o by_o the_o eye_n ear_n nose_n or_o touch_n and_o if_o i_o see_v they_o eat_v sleep_n wake_v feed_v breath_n walk_v and_o die_v nothing_o of_o all_o that_o aught_o to_o make_v i_o believe_v that_o there_o be_v any_o other_o thing_n in_o they_o but_o a_o certain_a disposition_n of_o organ_n and_o part_n which_o indeed_o be_v admirable_a but_o yet_o so_o dependent_a from_o the_o course_n and_o order_n of_o the_o other_o matter_n that_o i_o have_v acknowledge_v that_o to_o be_v the_o only_a cause_n in_o i_o of_o nutrition_n sleep_n respiration_n and_o of_o the_o power_n which_o object_n have_v to_o move_v the_o brain_n so_o many_o surprise_a way_n it_o be_v true_a i_o have_v observe_v that_o cer●●in_a thought_n always_o accompany_v in_o i_o most_o of_o the_o motion_n of_o my_o organ_n but_o yet_o it_o be_v true_a also_o that_o by_o the_o exact_a preciseness_n with_o which_o i_o have_v distinguish_v what_o be_v in_o all_o my_o operation_n on_o the_o account_n of_o the_o body_n and_o what_o on_o the_o score_n of_o the_o soul_n i_o have_v find_v manifest_o that_o if_o i_o have_v nothing_o but_o the_o body_n i_o may_v have_v all_o what_o appear_v to_o i_o in_o the_o other_o body_n which_o resemble_v i_o it_o behoove_v i_o therefore_o to_o observe_v those_o body_n near_o and_o to_o examine_v whether_o i_o may_v not_o perceive_v by_o any_o of_o their_o action_n that_o they_o be_v rule_v by_o soul_n i_o see_v that_o ordinary_o they_o be_v carry_v to_o place_n where_o the_o air_n seem_v most_o proper_a to_o entertain_v by_o respiration_n a_o due_a temper_n in_o the_o blood_n i_o see_v that_o they_o withdraw_v likewise_o from_o place_n where_o the_o cold_a might_n too_o much_o retard_v the_o motion_n and_o from_o those_o where_o the_o heat_n may_v render_v it_o too_o quick_a i_o see_v that_o they_o often_o fly_v with_o vehemence_n from_o the_o encounter_n of_o many_o other_o body_n that_o appear_v to_o i_o of_o a_o shape_n and_o motion_n capable_a to_o destroy_v they_o and_o i_o see_v also_o that_o they_o approach_v those_o which_o may_v be_v beneficial_a to_o they_o and_o all_o these_o action_n appear_v to_o i_o to_o be_v do_v with_o a_o discern_a such_o as_o i_o find_v in_o i_o when_o i_o do_v the_o same_o action_n mean_a time_n when_o i_o reflect_v that_o i_o have_v find_v by_o other_o contemplation_n that_o the_o sole_a disposition_n of_o the_o organ_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o all_o those_o operation_n in_o i_o i_o fear_v i_o affirm_v too_o much_o if_o i_o attribute_v the_o different_a motion_n of_o the_o body_n that_o surround_v i_o to_o another_o cause_n than_o to_o the_o agreement_n there_o be_v between_o their_o brain_n and_o the_o object_n and_o then_o as_o long_o as_o i_o do_v not_o see_v they_o do_v but_o what_o be_v for_o their_o good_a as_o to_o eat_v to_o drink_v to_o seek_v after_o coolness_n or_o warmth_n and_o whatever_o may_v maintain_v they_o in_o a_o state_n suitable_a to_o their_o nature_n i_o be_o not_o to_o believe_v there_o be_v any_o other_o thing_n in_o they_o but_o the_o organ_n which_o may_v suffice_v for_o that_o but_o methinks_v i_o see_v they_o often_o do_v thing_n that_o relate_v not_o at_o all_o to_o themselves_o nor_o their_o preservation_n i_o see_v some_o of_o they_o that_o meet_v with_o other_o body_n the_o encounter_n whereof_o must_v in_o all_o appearance_n
