little_a to_o be_v suspect_v for_o make_v man_n perverse_n and_o ungovernable_a that_o it_o be_v the_o best_a preservative_n against_o disobedience_n one_o of_o the_o principal_a cause_n of_o this_o be_v a_o misguide_a conscience_n and_o oppose_v the_o pretend_a dictate_v of_o god_n against_o the_o command_n of_o the_o sovereign_n this_o i_o have_v already_o show_v that_o these_o labour_n will_v moderate_a and_o reform_v by_o abolish_n or_o restrain_v the_o fury_n of_o enthusiasm_n another_o be_v idle_a poverty_n which_o drive_v man_n into_o fulleness_n melancholy_a discontent_a and_o at_o last_o into_o resistance_n of_o lawful_a authority_n to_o this_o experiment_n will_v afford_v a_o certain_a cure_n they_o will_v take_v away_o all_o pretence_n of_o idleness_n by_o a_o constant_a course_n of_o pleasant_a endeavour_n they_o will_v employ_v man_n about_o profitable_a work_n as_o well_o as_o delightful_a by_o the_o pleasure_n of_o their_o discovery_n they_o will_v wear_v off_o the_o roughness_n and_o sweeten_v the_o humorous_a peevishness_n of_o mind_n whereby_o many_o be_v sour_v into_o rebellion_n but_o the_o most_o fruitful_a parent_n of_o sedition_n be_v pride_n and_o a_o lofty_a conceit_n of_o man_n own_o wisdom_n whereby_o they_o present_o imagine_v themselves_o sufficient_a to_o direct_v and_o censure_v all_o the_o action_n of_o their_o governor_n and_o here_o that_o be_v true_a in_o civil_a affair_n which_o i_o have_v already_o quote_v out_o of_o my_o lord_n bacon_n concern_v divine_a a_o little_a knowledge_n be_v subject_a to_o make_v man_n headstrong_a insolent_a and_o untractable_a but_o a_o great_a deal_n have_v a_o quite_o contrary_a effect_n incline_v they_o to_o be_v submissive_a to_o their_o better_n and_o obedient_a to_o the_o sovereign_a power_n the_o science_n that_o be_v acquire_v by_o disputation_n teach_v man_n to_o cavil_v well_o and_o to_o find_v fault_n with_o accurate_a subtlety_n it_o give_v they_o a_o fearless_a confidence_n of_o their_o own_o judgement_n it_o lead_v they_o from_o contend_v in_o sport_n to_o opposition_n in_o earnest_n it_o make_v they_o believe_v that_o every_o thing_n be_v to_o be_v handle_v for_o and_o against_o in_o the_o state_n as_o well_o as_o in_o the_o school_n but_o the_o unfeigned_a and_o laborious_a philosophy_n give_v no_o countenance_n to_o the_o vain_a dotage_n of_o private_a politician_n that_o bend_v its_o disciple_n to_o regard_v the_o benefit_n of_o mankind_n and_o not_o the_o disquiet_n that_o by_o the_o moderation_n it_o prescribe_v to_o our_o thought_n about_o natural_a thing_n will_v also_o take_v away_o all_o sharpness_n and_o violence_n about_o civil_a the_o work_n of_o that_o be_v so_o vast_a that_o it_o can_v be_v perform_v without_o the_o assistance_n of_o the_o prince_n it_o will_v not_o therefore_o undermine_v his_o authority_n who_o aid_n it_o implore_v that_o prescribe_v a_o better_a way_n to_o bestow_v our_o time_n than_o in_o contend_v about_o little_a difference_n in_o which_o both_o the_o conqueror_n and_o the_o conquer_a have_v always_o reason_n to_o repent_v of_o their_o success_n that_o show_v we_o the_o difficulty_n of_o order_v the_o very_a motion_n of_o senseless_a and_o irrational_a thing_n and_o therefore_o how_o much_o hard_o it_o be_v to_o rule_v the_o restless_a mind_n of_o man_n that_o teach_v man_n humility_n and_o acquaint_v they_o with_o their_o own_o error_n and_o so_o remove_v all_o overween_a haughtiness_n of_o mind_n and_o swell_a imagination_n that_o they_o be_v better_a able_a to_o manage_v kingdom_n than_o those_o who_o possess_v they_o this_o without_o question_n be_v the_o chief_a root_n of_o all_o the_o uneasiness_n of_o subject_n to_o their_o prince_n the_o world_n will_v be_v better_o govern_v if_o so_o many_o do_v not_o praesume_v that_o they_o be_v fit_a to_o sustain_v the_o care_n of_o government_n transgression_n of_o the_o law_n be_v idolatry_n the_o reason_n of_o man_n contemn_v all_o jurisdiction_n and_o power_n proceed_v from_o their_o idolize_v their_o own_o wit_n they_o make_v their_o own_o prudence_n omnipotent_a they_o suppose_v themselves_o infallible_a they_o set_v up_o their_o own_o opinion_n and_o worship_v they_o but_o this_o vain_a idolatry_n will_v inevitable_o fall_v before_o experimental_a knowledge_n which_o as_o it_o be_v a_o enemy_n to_o all_o manner_n of_o false_a superstition_n so_o especial_o to_o that_o of_o man_n adore_v themselves_o and_o their_o own_o fancy_n design_n i_o have_v now_o at_o last_o bring_v my_o reader_n by_o a_o tedious_a compass_n to_o the_o end_n of_o our_o journey_n and_o here_o i_o desire_v he_o to_o look_v back_o and_o to_o make_v a_o reflection_n on_o the_o matter_n of_o which_o i_o have_v treat_v in_o the_o first_o part_n of_o my_o discourse_n i_o have_v allege_v the_o cause_n by_o which_o these_o study_n be_v suppress_v in_o all_o former_a age_n which_o have_v be_v interest_n of_o sect_n the_o

in_o the_o three_o i_o have_v try_v to_o free_v it_o from_o the_o false_a scandal_n of_o ignorance_n and_o the_o praejudices_fw-la of_o several_a way_n of_o life_n and_o to_o prove_v that_o its_o
