the_o mind_n so_o they_o call_v the_o high_a faculty_n of_o abstract_n reason_n and_o understanding_n which_o be_v the_o first_o the_o second_o they_o call_v the_o soul_n viz._n as_o it_o be_v

unite_v to_o the_o body_n and_o exercise_v the_o operation_n of_o sense_n the_o three_o be_v the_o image_n of_o the_o soul_n which_o be_v those_o faculty_n that_o be_v call_v plastical_a that_o move_v

we_o have_v yet_o nocertain_a theory_n of_o nature_n and_o in_o good_a earnest_n madam_n all_o that_o we_o can_v hope_v for_o as_o yet_o be_v but_o the_o history_n of_o thing_n as_o they_o be_v but_o to_o say_v how_o they_o be_v to_o raise_v general_a axiom_n and_o to_o make_v hypothesis_n must_v i_o think_v be_v the_o happy_a privilege_n of_o succeed_a age_n when_o they_o shall_v have_v gain_v a_o large_a account_n of_o the_o phoenomena_fw-la which_o yet_o be_v too_o scant_o and_o defective_a to_o raise_v theory_n upon_o so_o that_o to_o be_v ingenious_a and_o confess_v free_o we_o have_v yet_o no_o such_o thing_n as_o natural_a philosophy_n natural_a history_n be_v all_o we_o can_v pretend_v to_o and_o that_o too_o as_o yet_o be_v but_o in_o its_o rudiment_n the_o advance_v of_o it_o your_o grace_n know_v be_v the_o design_n and_o business_n of_o the_o royal_a society_n from_o who_o we_o may_v reasonable_o at_o last_o expect_v better_a ground_n for_o general_a doctrine_n than_o any_o the_o world_n yet_o have_v be_v acquaint_v with_o but_o this_o madam_n be_v a_o excursion_n i_o therefore_o return_v to_o your_o grace_n letter_n which_o inquire_v some_o thing_n about_o my_o

and_o whether_o true_a or_o false_a this_o i_o will_v take_v the_o boldness_n to_o be_v confident_a in_o that_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o soul_n praeexistence_n do_v best_a suit_n with_o the_o

and_o this_o step_n further_o i_o think_v i_o may_v take_v without_o immodesty_n that_o the_o doctrine_n have_v so_o much_o to_o say_v for_o itself_o from_o reason_n and_o the_o high_a antiquity_n as_o to_o render_v it_o fit_a to_o be_v consider_v and_o indeed_o since_o the_o two_o other_o way_n be_v confess_o desperate_a methinks_v there_o shall_v be_v no_o harm_n in_o examine_v this_o which_o be_v all_o i_o pretend_v to_o but_o particular_o to_o your_o grace_n quaery_n whether_o be_v soul_n create_v or_o uncreated_a i_o answer_v no_o doubt_n create_v but_o then_o i_o do_v not_o see_v how_o

of_o god_n that_o mankind_n be_v so_o first_o and_o fall_v by_o a_o voluntary_a transgression_n be_v the_o common_a doctrine_n and_o how_o we_o may_v suppose_v it_o be_v particular_o in_o the_o way_n of_o praeexistence_n your_o grace_n will_v see_v easy_o when_o i_o shall_v have_v procure_v that_o book_n of_o i_o i_o have_v mention_v and_o promise_v your_o grace_n but_o can_v yet_o light_v on_o the_o other_o part_n also_o of_o your_o grace_n division_n viz._n that_o if_o those_o soul_n be_v eternal_a they_o be_v god_n be_v i_o humble_o conceive_v a_o mistake_n likewise_o since_o though_o the_o world_n have_v be_v create_v from_o eternity_n which_o even_o the_o school_n confess_v possible_a it_o have_v nevertheless_o be_v a_o creature_n by_o reason_n of_o its_o dependence_n upon_o another_o for_o its_o be_v and_o to_o have_v be_v produce_v and_o yet_o from_o eternity_n be_v no_o absurdity_n our_o faith_n affirm_v it_o in_o the_o eternal_a generation_n of_o the_o son_n and_o procession_n of_o the_o holy-ghost_n and_o to_o take_v a_o instance_n with_o which_o we_o may_v make_v more_o bold_a if_o the_o sun_n have_v be_v from_o eternity_n no_o doubt_n it_o will_v have_v shine_v eternal_o and_o yet_o its_o beam_n have_v be_v effect_n and_o dependent_a and_o whereas_o your_o grace_n say_v again_o that_o what_o be_v immaterial_a be_v a_o god_n i_o must_v here_o also_o take_v the_o boldness_n to_o enter_v my_o dissent_n to_o your_o proposition_n indeed_o mr._n hobbs_n deny_v all_o immateriality_n to_o create_v being_n but_o i_o think_v upon_o ground_n precarious_a
