sense_n we_o hear_v a_o piece_n of_o music_n that_o may_v any_o beast_n do_v as_o well_o as_o we_o but_o his_o hear_n of_o it_o be_v but_o as_o of_o a_o bare_a sound_n whereas_o our_o hear_n thereof_o be_v as_o of_o a_o harmony_n and_o we_o discern_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o concord_n and_o discord_n which_o either_o delight_n or_o offend_v our_o sense_n the_o thing_n that_o hear_v the_o sound_n be_v the_o sense_n but_o the_o thing_n that_o judge_v of_o that_o which_o the_o sense_n conceive_v be_v another_o thing_n than_o the_o sense_n the_o like_a be_v to_o be_v say_v of_o smell_a taste_v and_o feel_v our_o smell_n of_o scent_n our_o taste_n of_o savour_n and_o our_o feeling_n of_o substance_n be_v in_o deed_n the_o work_n of_o our_o sense_n but_o as_o for_o our_o judge_n of_o the_o

vehemency_n of_o a_o fever_n by_o feel_v the_o pulse_n yea_o and_o our_o proceed_n even_o into_o the_o very_a bowel_n of_o a_o man_n whether_o the_o eye_n be_v the_o quick_a of_o all_o sense_n be_v not_o able_a to_o attain_v sure_o it_o be_v the_o work_n of_o a_o more_o mighty_a power_n than_o the_o sense_n be_v and_o in_o very_a deed_n there_o be_v beast_n which_o do_v hear_v see_v smell_v taste_n and_o feel_v much_o better_a and_o quick_o than_o man_n do_v yet_o notwithstanding_o none_o of_o they_o confer_v the_o contrary_n of_o colour_n sound_n scent_n and_o savour_n none_o sort_v they_o out_o to_o the_o serve_v one_o of_o another_o or_o to_o the_o serve_n of_o themselves_o whereby_o it_o appear_v that_o man_n excel_v the_o beast_n by_o another_o power_n than_o the_o sense_n and_o that_o whereas_o a_o man_n be_v a_o painter_n a_o musician_n or_o a_o physician_n he_o have_v it_o from_o elsewhere_o then_o from_o his_o sense_n nay_o i_o say_v far_o that_o oftentimes_o we_o conclude_v clean_o contrary_a to_o the_o report_n of_o our_o sense_n one_o eye_n perchance_o tell_v we_o that_o a_o tower_n which_o we_o see_v afar_o off_o be_v round_o whereas_o our_o reason_n deem_v it_o to_o be_v square_a or_o that_o a_o thing_n be_v small_a which_o our_o reason_n tell_v we_o be_v great_a or_o that_o the_o end_n of_o line_n in_o a_o long_a walk_n do_v meet_v in_o a_o point_n whereas_o our_o reason_n certify_v we_o that_o they_o run_v right_a forth_o with_o equal_a distance_n one_o from_o another_o for_o want_v of_o this_o discretion_n certain_a elephant_n say_v vitellio_n which_o be_v pass_v over_o a_o long_a bridge_n turn_v back_o be_v deceive_v and_o yet_o they_o want_v not_o sight_n no_o more_o than_o we_o do_v but_o they_o that_o lead_v they_o be_v not_o deceive_v their_o leader_n then_o beside_o their_o eyesight_n have_v in_o they_o another_o virtue_n or_o power_n which_o correct_v their_o sight_n and_o therefore_o ought_v to_o be_v of_o high_a estimation_n in_o like_a case_n be_v it_o with_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o other_o sense_n for_o our_o hear_n tell_v we_o that_o the_o thunderclap_n be_v after_o the_o lightning_n but_o skill_n assure_v we_o that_o they_o be_v both_o together_o for_o there_o be_v a_o certain_a power_n in_o we_o which_o can_v skill_v to_o discern_v what_o proportion_n be_v between_o hear_v and_o see_v also_o the_o tongue_n of_o he_o that_o have_v a_o ague_n bear_v he_o on_o hand_n that_o even_o sugar_n be_v bitter_a which_o thing_n he_o know_v by_o his_o reason_n to_o be_v untrue_a to_o be_v short_a those_o which_o have_v their_o sense_n most_o quick_a and_o lively_a be_v not_o of_o the_o great_a wisdom_n and_o understanding_n a_o man_n therefore_o differ_v from_o a_o beast_n and_o excel_v man_n by_o some_o other_o power_n than_o sense_n for_o whereas_o it_o be_v common_o say_v that_o such_o as_o have_v see_v most_o be_v common_o of_o great_a skill_n we_o see_v that_o many_o have_v travail_v far_o both_o by_o sea_n and_o land_n which_o have_v come_v home_o as_o wise_a as_o they_o go_v forth_o a_o horse_n have_v as_o good_a eye_n as_o he_o that_o ride_v upon_o he_o and_o yet_o for_o all_o his_o travail_a neither_o he_o nor_o peradventure_o his_o rider_n who_o he_o bear_v become_v any_o whit_n the_o wise_a by_o that_o which_o they_o have_v see_v whereby_o it_o appear_v that_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o see_v thing_n unless_o a_o man_n do_v also_o mind_v they_o to_o his_o benefit_n now_o there_o be_v great_a difference_n between_o the_o liveliness_n of_o the_o sense_n and_o the_o power_n that_o govern_v the_o sense_n like_o as_o the_o report_n of_o a_o spy_n be_v one_o thing_n and_o the_o spy_n himself_o be_v another_o and_o the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o captain_n that_o receive_v the_o report_n of_o the_o spy_n be_v a_o three_o nay_o who_o can_v deny_v that_o sense_n and_o reason_n be_v divers_a thing_n or_o rather_o who_o will_v not_o grant_v that_o in_o many_o thing_n they_o be_v clean_o

out_o of_o the_o fire_n and_o yet_o we_o ourselves_o put_v fire_n to_o our_o bare_a skin_n he_o that_o shall_v see_v a_o scevola_n burn_v off_o his_o own_o hand_n without_o so_o much_o as_o once_o

and_o sometime_o whether_o they_o will_v not_o whereof_o come_v it_o that_o every_o of_o they_o in_o their_o kind_n do_v all_o live_v nestle_v and_o sing_v after_o one_o sort_n whereas_o man_n have_v

that_o can_v do_v it_o who_o proper_a or_o peculiar_a object_n be_v most_o contrary_a to_o the_o sense_n beside_o this_o as_o i_o have_v say_v afore_o whereas_o we_o conceive_v wisdom_n skill_n

make_v universal_a rule_n of_o particular_a thing_n the_o sense_n attain_v no_o far_o than_o to_o the_o particular_a thing_n themselves_o and_o whereas_o we_o conclude_v of_o the_o cause_n by_o their_o effect_n our_o sense_n perceive_v no_o more_o but_o the_o bare_a effect_n and_o whereas_o concerning_o the_o thing_n that_o belong_v to_o understanding_n the_o more_o understandable_a they_o be_v the_o more_o they_o refresh_v we_o contrariwise_o the_o strong_a that_o the_o sensible_a thing_n be_v the_o more_o do_v they_o offend_v the_o sense_n to_o be_v short_a the_o selfsame_a thing_n which_o we_o speak_v in_o behalf_n of_o the_o sense_n proceed_v from_o elsewhere_o than_o from_o the_o sense_n and_o we_o will_v easy_o discern_v that_o he_o which_o deny_v that_o beside_o the_o

a_o gross_a reason_n of_o they_o this_o reason_n or_o power_n of_o understanding_n say_v they_o which_o be_v in_o man_n be_v corruptible_a as_o well_o as_o the_o power_n of_o

world_n have_v their_o memory_n still_o notwithstanding_o that_o to_o some_o man_n seem_v it_o go_v away_o with_o the_o sense_n as_o the_o treasury_n of_o the_o sense_n howbeit_o he_o affirm_v it_o to_o be_v the_o more_o excellent_a kind_n of_o memory_n not_o that_o which_o call_v thing_n again_o to_o mind_n as_o already_o past_a but_o that_o which_o hold_v and_o behold_v they_o still_o as_o always_o present_a of_o which_o two_o sort_n this_o latter_a he_o call_v mindfulness_n and_o the_o other_o he_o call_v remembrance_n i_o will_v add_v but_o only_o one_o sentence_n more_o of_o his_o for_o a_o full_a precedent_n of_o his_o doctrine_n the_o soul_n say_v he_o have_v have_v company_n with_o the_o god_n and_o be_v immortal_a and_o so_o will_v we_o say_v of_o it_o as_o plato_n affirm_v if_o we_o see_v it_o fair_a and_o clear_a but_o for_o as_o much_o as_o we_o see_v it_o common_o trouble_v we_o think_v it_o not_o to_o be_v either_o divine_a or_o immortal_a howbeit_o that_o he_o which_o will_v discern_v the_o nature_n of_o a_o thing_n perfect_o must_v consider_v it_o in_o the_o very_a own_o substance_n or_o be_v utter_o unmingled_a with_o any_o other_o thing_n for_o whatsoever_o else_o be_v add_v unto_o it_o do_v hinder_v the_o perfect_a discern_n of_o the_o same_o therefore_o let_v everyman_n behold_v himself_o naked_a without_o any_o thing_n save_o himself_o so_o as_o he_o look_v upon_o nothing_o else_o than_o his_o bare_a soul_n and_o sure_o when_o he_o have_v view_v himself_o in_o his_o own_o nature_n mere_o as_o in_o respect_n of_o his_o mind_n he_o shall_v believe_v himself_o to_o be_v immortal_a for_o he_o shall_v see_v that_o his_o mind_n aim_v not_o proper_o at_o the_o sensible_a and_o mortal_a thing_n but_o that_o by_o a_o certain_a everlasting_a power_n it_o take_v hold_v of_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v everlasting_a and_o of_o whatsoever_o be_v possible_a to_o be_v conceive_v in_o understanding_n insomuch_o that_o even_o
