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 inward_a virtue_n of_o the_o thing_n by_o the_o outward_a send_v thereof_o or_o of_o the_o wholesomeness_n or_o unwholsomeness_n of_o food_n by_o the_o taste_n thereof_o or_o of_o the_o hotness_n or_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 contrary_a sense_n bid_v we_o shun_v and_o eshew_v grief_n whereas_o reason_n will_v we_o to_o proffer_v our_o leg_n sometime_o to_o the_o surgeon_n to_o be_v cut_v off_o sense_n pluck_v our_o hand_n 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 gnash_v his_o tooth_n at_o it_o will_v think_v he_o be_v utter_o senseless_a so_o mighty_o do_v reason_n over-rule_v sense_n to_o be_v short_a sense_n have_v his_o peculiar_a inclination_n which_o be_v appetite_n and_o reason_n likewise_o have_v he_o which_o be_v will_n and_o like_v as_o reason_n do_v often_o time_n over_o rule_n sense_n and_o be_v contrary_a to_o it_o so_o will_v correct_v the_o sensual_a appetite_n or_o lust_n that_o be_v in_o we_o and_o war_v against_o it_o for_o in_o a_o ague_n we_o covet_v to_o drink_v and_o in_o a_o apoplexy_n we_o covet_v to_o sleep_v and_o in_o

the_o more_o he_o stand_v upon_o the_o please_n of_o his_o sense_n the_o less_o reason_n use_v he_o ordinary_o again_o let_v we_o consider_v the_o brute_n beast_n which_o have_v the_o sensitive_a part_n as_o well_o as_o we_o if_o we_o have_v no_o more_o than_o that_o how_o come_v it_o to_o pass_v that_o a_o little_a child_n drive_v whole_a flock_n and_o herd_n of_o they_o whether_o he_o list_v 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 their_o law_n commonweal_n manner_n of_o building_n and_o form_n of_o reason_v not_o only_o divers_a but_o also_o common_o contrary_a now_o what_o can_v harbour_v these_o contrariety_n together_o but_o only_o that_o which_o have_v not_o any_o thing_n contrary_a unto_o it_o and_o wherein_o all_o contrary_a thing_n do_v lay_v away_o their_o contrariety_n sure_o it_o be_v not_o the_o sense_n 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 virtue_n and_o such_o other_o thing_n which_o be_v all_o bodiless_a our_o sense_n have_v none_o other_o thing_n to_o work_v upon_o than_o the_o quality_n of_o bodily_a substance_n and_o whereas_o we_o 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 common_a sense_n there_o be_v in_o man_n a_o reason_n or_o understanding_n distinct_a and_o sever_v from_o the_o sense_n be_v void_a both_o of_o understanding_n and_o of_o sense_n but_o see_v here_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

call_v that_o death_n which_o we_o call_v birth_n and_o that_o a_o departure_n out_o of_o life_n which_o we_o call_v the_o entrance_n into_o it_o as_o long_o as_o we_o be_v there_o we_o see_v nothing_o though_o our_o eye_n be_v open_a many_o also_o do_v not_o so_o much_o as_o stir_v except_o it_o be_v at_o some_o sudden_a scare_v or_o some_o other_o like_a chance_n and_o as_o for_o those_o that_o stir_v they_o know_v not_o that_o they_o have_v either_o sense_n or_o move_v why_o then_o shall_v we_o think_v it_o strange_a that_o in_o this_o life_n our_o understanding_n see_v so_o little_a that_o many_o man_n do_v never_o mind_v the_o immortal_a nature_n until_o they_o be_v at_o the_o last_o cast_v yea_o and_o some_o think_v not_o themselves_o to_o have_v any_o such_o thing_n howbeit_o that_o even_o by_o so_o think_v they_o show_v themselves_o to_o have_v part_n thereof_o and_o imagine_v we_o that_o the_o unborn_a babe_n have_v not_o as_o much_o ado_n by_o nature_n to_o leave_v the_o poor_a skin_n that_o he_o be_v wrap_v in_o as_o we_o have_v hindrance_n in_o our_o sense_n and_o in_o our_o imprison_a reason_n when_o we_o be_v at_o the_o point_n to_o leave_v the_o good_n and_o pleasure_n of_o this_o world_n and_o the_o very_a flesh_n itself_o which_o hold_v we_o as_o in_o a_o grave_n or_o have_v the_o babe_n some_o little_a knowledge_n will_v he_o not_o say_v that_o no_o life_n be_v comparable_a to_o the_o life_n where_o he_o than_o be_v as_o we_o say_v there_o be_v no_o life_n to_o the_o life_n of_o this_o world_n wherein_o we_o be_v or_o will_v he_o not_o account_v the_o stage_n of_o our_o sense_n for_o a_o fable_n as_o a_o great_a sort_n of_o we_o account_v the_o stage_n that_o be_v prepare_v for_o our_o soul_n yes_o sure_o and_o therefore_o let_v we_o conclude_v where_o we_o begin_v namely_o that_o man_n be_v both_o inward_a and_o outward_a in_o the_o outward_a man_n which_o be_v the_o body_n he_o resemble_v the_o be_v and_o the_o proportion_n of_o all_o the_o part_n of_o the_o world_n and_o in_o the_o inner_a man_n he_o resemble_v whatsoever_o kind_n of_o life_n be_v in_o all_o thing_n or_o in_o any_o thing_n that_o bear_v life_n in_o the_o world_n in_o this_o mother_n womb_n he_o live_v the_o life_n of_o a_o plant_n howbeit_o with_o this_o further_o that_o he_o have_v a_o certain_a commencement_n of_o sense_n and_o move_v which_o exceed_v the_o plant_n and_o do_v put_v he_o in_o a_o readiness_n to_o be_v endow_v with_o sense_n as_o a_o beast_n be_v in_o this_o life_n he_o have_v sense_n and_o move_v in_o their_o perfection_n which_o be_v the_o property_n of_o a_o sensitive_a wight_n but_o yet_o beside_o these_o he_o have_v also_o a_o beginning_n to_o reason_n and_o understand_v which_o be_v a_o beginning_n of_o another_o life_n such_o as_o the_o sensitive_a wight_n have_v not_o and_o this_o life_n be_v to_o be_v perfect_v in_o another_o place_n in_o the_o life_n to_o come_v he_o have_v his_o action_n free_a and_o full_o perfect_v a_o large_a ground_n to_o work_v upon_o able_a to_o suffice_v he_o to_o the_o full_a and_o a_o light_n to_o his_o understanding_n in_o stead_n of_o a_o light_n to_o the_o eye_n and_o like_v as_o in_o come_v into_o the_o world_n he_o come_v as_o it_o be_v out_o of_o another_o world_n so_o in_o go_v yet_o into_o another_o world_n he_o must_v also_o go_v out_o of_o this_o world_n he_o come_v out_o of_o the_o first_o world_n into_o the_o second_o as_o it_o be_v fail_v in_o nourishment_n but_o grow_v in_o strength_n unto_o move_v and_o sense_n and_o he_o go_v out_o of_o the_o second_o into_o the_o three_o fail_v in_o sense_n and_o move_a but_o grow_v in_o reason_n and_o understanding_n now_o see_v we_o call_v the_o passage_n out_o of_o the_o first_o world_n into_o the_o second_o a_o birth_n what_o reason_n be_v it_o that_o we_o shall_v call_v the_o passage_n out_o of_o the_o second_o into_o the_o three_o a_o death_n to_o be_v short_a he_o that_o consider_v how_o all_o the_o action_n of_o man_n mind_n tend_v to_o the_o time_n to_o come_v without_o possibility_n of_o stay_v upon_o the_o present_a time_n how_o pleasant_a and_o delightful_a soever_o it_o be_v we_o may_v well_o discern_v by_o they_o all_o that_o his_o be_v which_o in_o every_o thing_n as_o say_v aristotle_n follow_v the_o work_n thereof_o be_v also_o whole_o bend_v towards_o the_o time_n to_o come_v as_o who_o will_v say_v this_o present_a life_n be_v unto_o it_o but_o as_o a_o narrow_a grindle_n on_o the_o further_a side_n whereof_o as_o i●_z be_v on_o the_o bank_n of_o some_o stream_n or_o run_a water_n he_o be_v to_o find_v his_o true_a dwell_a place_n and_o very_a home_n in_o deed_n but_o now_o be_v it_o time_n to_o see_v what_o be_v say_v to_o the_o contrary_a objection_n wherein_o we_o have_v to_o consider_v eftsoon_o that_o which_o we_o speak_v of_o afore_o namely_o that_o if_o all_o that_o ever_o be_v in_o we_o be_v transitoric_n and_o mortal_a we_o shall_v not_o be_v so_o witty_a to_o examine_v the_o immortality_n as_o we_o be_v for_o of_o contrary_n the_o skill_n be_v all_o one_o if_o a_o man_n be_v not_o mortal_a that_o be_v to_o say_v if_o he_o have_v no_o life_n he_o can_v not_o dispute_v of_o the_o mortal_a life_n neither_o can_v he_o speak_v of_o the_o immortal_a if_o he_o himself_o also_o be_v not_o immortal_a therefore_o let_v we_o go_v back_o retrieve_v some_o man_n will_v say_v that_o the_o soul_n die_v with_o the_o body_n because_o the_o soul_n and_o the_o body_n be_v but_o one_o thing_n and_o he_o believe_v that_o they_o be_v both_o but_o one_o because_o he_o see_v no_o more_o but_o the_o body_n this_o argument_n be_v all_o one_o with_o they_o which_o deny_v that_o there_o be_v any_o god_n because_o they_o see_v he_o not_o but_o yet_o by_o his_o do_n thou_o may_v perceive_v that_o there_o be_v a_o god_n discern_v likewise_o by_o the_o do_n of_o thy_o soul_n that_o thou_o have_v a_o soul_n for_o in_o a_o dead_a body_n thou_o see_v the_o same_o part_n remain_v but_o thou_o see_v not_o the_o same_o do_n that_o be_v in_o it_o afore_o when_o a_o man_n be_v dead_a his_o eye_n see_v nothing_o at_o all_o and_o

it_o be_v no_o more_o a_o soul_n that_o be_v to_o say_v the_o worker_n and_o quickener_n of_o the_o body_n but_o a_o very_a body_n unable_a to_o do_v any_o thing_n of_o itself_o and_o a_o massy_a
