nay_o some_o in_o pursuance_n thereof_o have_v bodily_a motion_n they_o talk_v they_o arise_v they_o walk_v etc._n etc._n for_o if_o the_o imagination_n be_v not_o attend_v with_o those_o other_o

i_o think_v whatsoever_o false_a or_o naughty_a or_o vicious_a presentment_n of_o the_o imagination_n that_o be_v a_o first_o entertainment_n in_o our_o thought_n what_o seem_v contrary_a to_o god_n

power_n and_o strength_n though_o reason_n so_o far_o restrain_v the_o will_n and_o they_o too_o as_o that_o there_o follow_v no_o overt_a act_n thereupon_o i_o think_v do_v make_v we_o culpable_a that_o be_v we_o sin_n because_o be_v our_o affection_n such_o as_o they_o shall_v be_v or_o such_o as_o we_o may_v through_o our_o strength_n of_o reason_n with_o the_o invocation_n of_o divine_a assistance_n have_v make_v or_o render_v they_o they_o will_v not_o grateful_o accept_v any_o thing_n that_o be_v evil_a but_o have_v a_o reluctancy_n against_o it_o and_o decline_v it_o from_o some_o prio_fw-la instruction_n i_o may_v say_v rather_o than_o present_a correction_n but_o if_o the_o affection_n upon_o the_o first_o touch_n of_o the_o imagination_n do_v loath_a and_o abhor_v that_o evil_a the_o imagination_n bring_v or_o lay_v before_o they_o we_o be_v in_o no_o wise_a answerable_a for_o the_o irregularity_n or_o evil_a contrivance_n of_o our_o imagination_n if_o reason_n be_v

neither_o answerable_a as_o i_o think_v for_o our_o evil_a imagination_n evil_a affection_n or_o intention_n nor_o consequent_o our_o evil_a action_n thereupon_o but_o if_o that_o disability_n come_v upon_o we_o by_o our_o own_o default_n or_o negligence_n i_o think_v of_o it_o otherwise_o in_o relation_n to_o god_n and_o punishable_a by_o he_o however_o it_o may_v be_v dispense_v withal_o here_o by_o man_n if_o reason_n be_v disable_v natural_o and_o inevitable_o though_o for_o some_o time_n only_o through_o the_o fume_n of_o the_o body_n and_o the_o very_a inlet_n sense_n stop_v as_o in_o

thereto_o yet_o be_v the_o soul_n blameless_a before_o man_n i_o think_v and_o god_n too_o for_o that_o sense_n be_v shut_v and_o the_o imagination_n as_o well_o counterfeit_v the_o same_o as_o

which_o other_o faculty_n will_v utter_o abhor_v abominate_a and_o forsake_v what_o that_o contrive_v as_o soon_o as_o ever_o sense_n be_v open_a again_o and_o that_o they_o have_v the_o influence_n of_o any_o clear_a light_n to_o move_v by_o and_o therefore_o i_o can_v judge_v any_o man_n culpable_a for_o any_o act_n of_o the_o soul_n whatsoever_o in_o a_o dream_n let_v he_o seem_v to_o plot_n
