with_o real_a nature_n undisguised_a with_o art_n and_o notion_n and_o still_o i_o see_v more_o of_o the_o justice_n of_o the_o excellent_a poet_n censure_n of_o the_o son_n of_o aristotle_n when_o he_o say_v they_o stand_v lock_v up_o together_o hand_n in_o hand_n every_o one_o lead_v as_o he_o be_v lead_v the_o same_o bare_a path_n they_o tread_v and_o dance_v like_o fairy_n a_o fantastic_a round_n but_o neither_o change_n their_o motion_n nor_o their_o ground_n from_o this_o philosophy_n therefore_o and_o these_o man_n i_o divert_v my_o eye_n and_o hope_n and_o fix_v they_o upon_o those_o method_n that_o i_o have_v recommend_v which_o i_o be_o sure_o be_v liable_a to_o none_o of_o those_o imputation_n and_o here_o i_o think_v fit_a to_o add_v a_o caution_n which_o i_o have_v give_v in_o another_o discourse_n and_o do_v it_o once_o more_o to_o prevent_v a_o dangerous_a misunderstanding_n viz._n and_o it_o be_v that_o i_o have_v say_v nothing_o of_o this_o to_o discourage_v young_a academiasn_a from_o apply_v themselves_o to_o those_o first_o study_n which_o be_v in_o use_n in_o the_o university_n their_o statute_n require_v exercise_n in_o that_o way_n of_o learning_n and_o so_o much_o knowledge_n of_o it_o as_o enable_v for_o those_o duty_n be_v requisite_a and_o fit_a nor_o do_v i_o deny_v but_o that_o those_o speculation_n raise_v quicken_z and_o whet_v the_o understanding_n and_o on_o that_o account_n may_v not_o be_v altogether_o unprofitable_a with_o respect_n to_o the_o more_o useful_a inquisition_n provide_v it_o keep_v itself_o from_o be_v nice_a airy_a and_o addict_v too_o much_o to_o general_a notion_n but_o this_o be_v the_o danger_n and_o the_o great_a part_n run_v upon_o the_o rock_n the_o hazard_n of_o which_o may_v in_o great_a measure_n be_v avoid_v if_o the_o mathematics_n and_o natural_a history_n be_v mingle_v with_o these_o other_o study_n which_o will_v indeed_o be_v excellent_a preparative_n and_o dispostion_n to_o future_a improvement_n and_o i_o add_v further_o that_o the_o young_a philosopher_n must_v take_v care_n of_o look_v on_o their_o systematick_a notion_n as_o the_o bound_n and_o perfection_n of_o knowledge_n nor_o make_v account_n to_o fix_v eternal_o upon_o those_o theroy_n as_o establish_v and_o infallible_a certainty_n but_o consider_v they_o in_o the_o modest_a sense_n of_o hypothesis_n and_o as_o thing_n they_o be_v to_o take_v in_o their_o passage_n to_o other_o that_o be_v more_o valuable_a and_o important_a i_o say_v the_o peripatetic_a study_n thus_o temper_v will_v not_o i_o suppose_v be_v desallow_v by_o the_o man_n of_o the_o practical_a method_n and_o so_o the_o vniversity-establishments_n can_v receive_v no_o prejudice_n from_o the_o spirit_n that_o dislike_v a_o perpetual_a acquiescence_n in_o the_o philosophy_n of_o the_o present_a school_n chap._n xviii_o some_o thing_n else_o debate_v by_o the_o author_n with_o the_o disputer_n about_o the_o prophet_n

and_o be_o so_o fond_a as_o to_o believe_v that_o i_o have_v say_v enough_o about_o the_o main_a business_n of_o our_o conference_n from_o which_o the_o disputer_n at_o last_o show_v a_o inclination_n to_o draw_v off_o and_o endeavour_v to_o engage_v i_o in_o other_o thing_n that_o be_v aside_o and_o irrelative_a to_o our_o discourse_n particular_o i_o perceive_v he_o make_v towards_o the_o

of_o talk_v and_o consider_v that_o our_o spirit_n be_v too_o much_o move_v and_o our_o time_n too_o short_a for_o those_o deep_a and_o endless_a debate_n and_o i_o have_v long_o since_o resolve_v never_o to_o treat_v with_o any_o one_o about_o they_o that_o be_v not_o very_o free_a thoughtful_a modest_a and_o benign_a without_o which_o praedisposition_n in_o the_o subject_a i_o know_v the_o clear_a and_o great_a evidence_n in_o the_o world_n can_v make_v no_o impression_n upon_o these_o account_n i_o decline_v the_o bait_n but_o in_o the_o process_n of_o our_o ramble_a talk_n be_v insensible_o lead_v into_o a_o discourse_n as_o extrinsic_a which_o be_v concern_v the_o method_n of_o the_o scripture_n about_o this_o i_o say_v that_o those_o holy_a oracle_n be_v not_o write_v methodical_o mean_v not_o according_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o our_o method_n especial_o i_o instanced_a in_o the_o prophetic_a write_n which_o be_v very_o little_o suit_v to_o the_o way_n of_o our_o order_n and_o in_o consequence_n of_o this_o i_o affirm_v that_o god_n be_v please_v in_o those_o inspiration_n to_o apply_v himself_o much_o to_o the_o imagination_n of_o the_o prophet_n which_o faculty_n i_o say_v be_v desultory_n and_o do_v seldom_o tie_v itself_o to_o strict_a coherence_n this_o be_v the_o sum_n of_o all_o from_o whence_o the_o disputer_n take_v occasion_n for_o loud_a out-cry_n he_o tell_v i_o that_o my_o affirmation_n be_v atheistical_a that_o god_n be_v the_o god_n of_o order_n and_o not_o of_o confusion_n and_o deal_v with_o the_o noble_a faculty_n which_o be_v the_o understanding_n i_o be_v astonish_v at_o the_o haste_n of_o the_o wild_a and_o groundless_a censure_n and_o answer_v to_o the_o argument_n that_o he_o may_v as_o well_o conclude_v that_o all_o the_o blade_n of_o grass_n and_o flower_n of_o the_o field_n shall_v be_v place_v in_o knot_n and_o a_o garden-order_n and_o the_o star_n set_v in_o rank_n and_o file_n because_o god_n be_v the_o god_n of_o order_n as_o the_o other_o proposition_n he_o will_v infer_v i_o say_v there_o be_v no_o doubt_n but_o that_o the_o divine_a wisdom_n which_o have_v make_v all_o thing_n in_o number_n weight_n and_o measure_n have_v a_o order_n and_o idea_n to_o itself_o according_a to_o which_o it_o frame_v they_o but_o then_o i_o add_v that_o as_o his_o way_n be_v above_o we_o so_o be_v many_o of_o the_o method_n of_o his_o work_v beside_o they_o and_o consequent_o i_o think_v it_o somewhat_o too_o bold_a and_o presumptuous_a to_o bring_v down_o infinite_a wisdom_n to_o our_o rule_n upon_o that_o score_n reprove_v the_o custom_n of_o some_o formal_a preacher_n who_o spend_v much_o pain_n to_o little_a purpose_n in_o find_v long_a series_n of_o connection_n where_o many_o time_n none_o be_v intend_v this_o be_v the_o whole_a substance_n of_o what_o i_o say_v in_o this_o affair_n and_o at_o this_o period_n of_o the_o conference_n the_o disputer_n lose_v all_o patience_n and_o with_o sufficient_a spite_n and_o rage_n tell_v i_o that_o i_o be_v a_o atheist_n that_o he_o have_v indeed_o desire_v my_o acquaintance_n but_o will_v have_v no_o more_o on_o it_o and_o so_o turn_v his_o back_n and_o go_v away_o give_v i_o time_n only_o to_o answer_n that_o i_o have_v no_o great_a reason_n to_o lament_v the_o loss_n of_o a_o acquaintance_n that_o can_v be_v so_o easy_o forfeit_v thus_o sir_n you_o have_v the_o sincere_a account_n of_o those_o say_n about_o which_o the_o disputer_n have_v raise_v such_o tragical_a story_n in_o they_o he_o have_v accuse_v i_o of_o atheistical_a assertion_n and_o affirm_v that_o i_o say_v the_o scripture_n be_v only_o write_v to_o man_n fancy_n which_o proposition_n he_o have_v so_o order_v as_o that_o many_o impious_a absurdity_n be_v deduce_v from_o it_o and_o those_o must_v go_v for_o my_o opinion_n when_o as_o it_o be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v true_a that_o that_o proposition_n come_v from_o i_o that_o i_o understand_v not_o what_o it_o mean_v only_o i_o can_v collect_v from_o it_o the_o disputer_n wrath_n or_o somewhat_o he_o will_v be_v less_o willing_a to_o acknowledge_v for_o either_o he_o real_o believe_v the_o proposition_n he_o report_v to_o be_v the_o sense_n of_o i_o or_o he_o do_v not_o if_o real_o he_o do_v i_o can_v excuse_v his_o understanding_n if_o not_o i_o wonder_v at_o his_o conscience_n but_o that_o i_o may_v together_o explicate_v what_o i_o mean_v and_o defend_v it_o i_o add_v a_o brief_a account_n of_o my_o say_v that_o god_n do_v much_o apply_v himself_o to_o the_o imagination_n of_o the_o prophet_n as_o to_o which_o i_o observe_v that_o both_o the_o schoolman_n and_o other_o usual_o divide_v prophecy_n into_o intellectual_a and_o imaginary_a the_o former_a be_v from_o a_o light_n immediate_o infuse_v into_o the_o understanding_n the_o latter_a when_o the_o prophetic_a spirit_n make_v its_o first_o impression_n on_o the_o imagination_n by_o sensible_a and_o material_a
