of_o soul_n soul_n whereof_o he_o make_v mention_v for_o plato_n be_v so_o far_o from_o yield_v that_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n be_v mortal_a that_o he_o will_v not_o confess_v the_o soul_n of_o

god_n that_o have_v be_v before_o but_o mortal_a man_n but_o from_o these_o fond_a opinion_n he_o have_v no_o reason_n to_o conclude_v that_o if_o soul_n do_v not_o pass_v and_o repass_v from_o body_n

know_v he_o to_o be_v his_o sovereign_a good_n but_o to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v the_o better_o understand_v this_o whole_a matter_n we_o must_v note_v appetite_n that_o there_o be_v three_o kind_n of_o appetite_n among_o the_o creature_n which_o be_v common_o call_v the_o one_o natural_a the_o other_o sensitive_a and_o the_o three_o voluntary_a appetite_n as_o for_o the_o natural_a we_o may_v

without_o any_o action_n proceed_v from_o any_o soul_n or_o life_n as_o when_o we_o say_v that_o heavy_a thing_n desire_v to_o go_v downward_o and_o light_a thing_n upward_o as_o we_o see_v it_o in_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o element_n which_o be_v without_o soul_n and_o life_n but_o beside_o this_o natural_a appetite_n common_a to_o all_o creature_n there_o be_v a_o other_o that_o have_v action_n join_v with_o the_o inclination_n which_o nevertheless_o proceed_v not_o of_o any_o sense_n this_o appetite_n be_v proper_a to_o the_o vegetative_a and_o nourish_a soul_n and_o life_n whereof_o plant_n be_v partaker_n for_o we_o see_v by_o experience_n that_o they_o have_v a_o natural_a appetite_n to_o draw_v unto_o they_o and_o to_o retain_v that_o which_o be_v meet_v for_o their_o nature_n and_o food_n and_o to_o expel_v the_o contrary_n for_o if_o a_o plant_n wax_v dry_a it_o desire_v to_o be_v water_v and_o draw_v and_o keep_v humour_n and_o moisture_n necessary_a for_o itself_o we_o see_v the_o like_a in_o man_n body_n for_o when_o the_o member_n want_v nourishment_n they_o suck_v the_o vein_n and_o the_o vein_n draw_v unto_o they_o blood_n and_o as_o the_o member_n desire_v their_o food_n so_o they_o desire_v to_o be_v unburthen_v when_o they_o have_v too_o much_o the_o appetite_n which_o we_o call_v hunger_n &_o thirst_n thirst_n may_v be_v refer_v to_o this_o kind_n of_o natural_a appetite_n if_o this_o be_v except_v that_o we_o can_v not_o say_v it_o be_v without_o sense_n and_o feeling_n for_o beside_o the_o desire_n of_o eat_v and_o drink_v there_o be_v withal_o a_o sense_n of_o this_o attraction_n whereby_o the_o member_n suck_v the_o vein_n and_o the_o vein_n the_o blood_n and_o this_o sense_n be_v not_o without_o grief_n and_o displeasure_n so_o that_o every_o live_a creature_n be_v stir_v up_o to_o seek_v for_o his_o food_n and_o to_o take_v his_o refection_n whereupon_o we_o may_v divide_v this_o natural_a appetite_n also_o into_o two_o

of_o man_n body_n and_o of_o the_o manifestation_n by_o little_a and_o little_a of_o the_o power_n of_o the_o soul_n namely_o that_o as_o long_o as_o the_o child_n be_v in_o his_o mother_n womb_n he_o

of_o the_o whole_a body_n but_o only_o for_o themselves_o it_o be_v more_o like_a to_o that_o appetite_n that_o be_v in_o plant_n for_o they_o feel_v neither_o hunger_n nor_o thirst_n as_o other_o

therefore_o in_o that_o the_o prophet_n describe_v the_o creation_n of_o the_o body_n apart_o and_o then_o that_o of_o the_o soul_n he_o give_v we_o to_o understand_v that_o we_o must_v seek_v for_o

moreover_o he_o teach_v we_o this_o very_o plain_o when_o he_o say_v that_o god_n create_v man_n after_o his_o own_o image_n and_o similitude_n which_o he_o do_v not_o say_v of_o beast_n as_o we_o have_v already_o hear_v therefore_o there_o must_v needs_o be_v in_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n some_o other_o power_n and_o virtue_n then_o that_o by_o which_o it_o give_v life_n to_o the_o body_n and_o which_o be_v common_a to_o it_o with_o those_o of_o brute_n beast_n so_o that_o as_o god_n give_v to_o this_o dead_a body_n take_v out_o of_o the_o earth_n a_o soul_n that_o endue_v it_o with_o life_n

notwithstanding_o we_o will_v here_o propound_v the_o opinion_n of_o some_o learned_a man_n ground_v upon_o that_o order_n soul_n which_o god_n have_v accustom_v to_o observe_v in_o his_o work_n and_o

be_v to_o know_v that_o it_o be_v very_o serviceable_a to_o the_o whole_a body_n brain_n and_o chief_o to_o the_o brain_n lodge_v in_o the_o top_n thereof_o as_o it_o be_v the_o lord_n and_o master_n

therefore_o as_o it_o have_v near_o about_o it_o the_o eye_n ear_n tongue_n and_o palate_n which_o be_v the_o instrument_n of_o see_v hear_v and_o taste_v so_o the_o nose_n be_v needful_a to_o serve_v the_o sense_n of_o smell_v neither_o be_v it_o place_v so_o near_o the_o sense_n of_o taste_v without_o the_o great_a providence_n of_o god_n taste_v for_o there_o be_v many_o thing_n in_o nature_n which_o if_o they_o be_v taste_v only_o be_v deadly_a or_o at_o leastwise_o very_o dangerous_a and_o hurtful_a as_o appear_v chief_o in_o thing_n that_o be_v venomous_a and_o poisonful_a for_o this_o

they_o may_v more_o easy_o want_v it_o nevertheless_o god_n have_v give_v it_o they_o to_o the_o end_n it_o may_v be_v as_o it_o be_v a_o messenger_n to_o the_o taste_n to_o show_v what_o be_v good_a for_o it_o and_o what_o not_o and_o this_o chief_o for_o two_o reason_n the_o first_o be_v to_o keep_v man_n from_o hazard_v themselves_o through_o a_o immoderate_a desire_n to_o eat_v and_o drink_v before_o they_o have_v discern_v by_o the_o smell_n of_o such_o thing_n as_o be_v to_o be_v take_v whether_o they_o be_v profitable_a or_o hurtful_a for_o they_o the_o second_o reason_n be_v to_o take_v all_o suspicion_n and_o fear_n from_o they_o which_o otherwise_o may_v cause_v they_o to_o abstain_v from_o those_o thing_n that_o be_v good_a and_o profitable_a for_o they_o sense_n and_o therefore_o this_o sense_n of_o smell_v be_v near_o conjoin_v and_o have_v great_a agreement_n with_o the_o sense_n of_o taste_v for_o this_o be_v a_o general_a rule_n that_o albeit_o every_o thing_n that_o smell_v well_o have_v not_o always_o a_o good_a taste_n yet_o whatsoever_o a_o man_n find_v good_a to_o his_o taste_n the_o same_o have_v also_o a_o good_a smell_n and_o contrariwise_o that_o which_o be_v find_v to_o have_v a_o ill_a relish_n the_o same_o have_v also_o the_o like_a smell_n for_o the_o taste_n and_o smell_n be_v give_v not_o only_o for_o profit_n but_o for_o pleasure_n also_o and_o delight_v neither_o do_v those_o thing_n which_o serve_v for_o delectation_n always_o bring_v profit_n but_o sometime_o the_o contrary_a principal_o through_o their_o fault_n that_o know_v not_o how_o to_o use_v they_o moderate_o for_o they_o be_v so_o subject_a to_o their_o pleasure_n sense_n that_o they_o can_v never_o keep_v measure_n in_o anything_o as_o we_o see_v by_o experience_n especial_o in_o these_o two_o sense_n of_o taste_n and_o smell_v for_o as_o the_o ordinary_a meat_n satisfy_v not_o the_o delicate_a appetite_n of_o man_n but_o they_o must_v have_v new_a

all_o the_o creature_n of_o god_n be_v good_a if_o they_o be_v use_v moderate_o and_o a_o they_o ought_v with_o thanksgiving_n hereof_o it_o be_v that_o they_o be_v ofte_v mention_v in_o scripture_n in_o the_o good_a part_n and_o not_o to_o seek_v far_o off_o for_o example_n 3._o we_o have_v the_o testimony_n of_o the_o holy_a euamgelist_n as_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n himself_o who_o be_v neither_o nice_a nor_o voluptuous_a but_o the_o perfect_a pattern_n of_o all_o sobriety_n and_o temperance_n do_v not_o reject_v nor_o condemn_v precious_a ointment_n and_o sweet_a odour_n but_o sometime_o permit_v the_o use_n of_o they_o upon_o his_o own_o person_n odour_n moreover_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o the_o animal_n spirit_n in_o the_o brain_n be_v great_o relieve_v and_o recreate_v by_o those_o good_a and_o natural_a smell_n that_o be_v convey_v unto_o they_o by_o mean_n of_o the_o nose_n and_o of_o the_o sense_n of_o smell_v place_v therein_o as_o contrariwise_o they_o be_v

receive_v this_o benefit_n of_o good_a odour_n nose_n god_n have_v place_v both_o the_o sense_n and_o instrument_n of_o smell_v so_o near_o unto_o it_o the_o instrument_n to_o keep_v and_o convey_v odour_n unto_o it_o the_o sense_n to_o discern_v and_o judge_v of_o they_o therefore_o this_o sense_n of_o smell_v have_v some_o agreement_n both_o with_o the_o fire_n and_o with_o thick_a air_n because_o smell_n be_v stir_v up_o by_o heat_n as_o smoke_n be_v by_o fire_n which_o be_v after_o carry_v by_o mean_n of_o the_o air_n unto_o the_o sense_n and_o receive_v and_o keep_v by_o the_o

therefore_o god_n have_v create_v it_o not_o only_o to_o serve_v the_o sense_n of_o smell_v but_o also_o for_o respiration_n that_o it_o shall_v be_v the_o principal_a pipe_n and_o passage_n by_o which_o both_o the_o brain_n and_o lung_n may_v draw_v in_o or_o let_v out_o breathe_v as_o need_n require_v for_o this_o cause_n the_o brain_n do_v stretch_v out_o and_o restrain_v itself_o and_o

nose_n for_o first_o concern_v the_o matter_n it_o be_v not_o make_v all_o of_o bone_n nor_o all_o of_o gristle_n because_o if_o it_o be_v all_o of_o bone_n a_o double_a inconvenience_n will_v ensue_v thereof_o the_o first_o be_v that_o the_o bone_n will_v be_v in_o danger_n of_o break_v chief_o about_o the_o end_n of_o the_o nose_n when_o it_o shall_v hit_v against_o any_o hard_a thing_n because_o they_o will_v not_o bend_v and_o give_v
place_n easy_o as_o sinew_n will_v do_v the_o second_o inconvenience_n will_v be_v this_o that_o the_o end_n of_o the_o nostril_n can_v neither_o open_v nor_o shut_v neither_o enlarge_v nor_o restrain_v themselves_o but_o will_v continue_v always_o at_o one_o stay_v whereupon_o two_o other_o mischief_n will_v follow_v first_o the_o nose_n can_v not_o open_a and_o enlarge_v itself_o so_o

of_o a_o pipe_n and_o spout_n to_o purge_v it_o of_o slegmatike_a humour_n brain_n a_o man_n can_v not_o by_o blow_v close_o it_o together_o and_o strain_v it_o to_o get_v the_o filth_n out_o of_o

for_o the_o fountain_n and_o fruit_n of_o the_o religion_n and_o service_n of_o god_n consist_v not_o in_o this_o mortal_a life_n and_o therefore_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v in_o some_o other_o that_o

and_o engrave_v they_o memory_n as_o it_o be_v in_o table_n or_o pillar_n of_o stone_n or_o brass_n therefore_o have_v god_n assign_v his_o seat_n and_o lodging_n in_o the_o hindermost_a part_n of_o

part_n of_o the_o brain_n which_o be_v not_o to_o sustain_v so_o great_a stress_n second_o forasmuch_o as_o the_o memory_n be_v as_o it_o be_v the_o register_n and_o chancery_n court_n of_o all_o the_o other_o sense_n the_o image_n of_o all_o thing_n bring_v and_o commit_v unto_o it_o by_o they_o be_v to_o be_v imprint_v therein_o as_o the_o image_n and_o sign_n of_o a_o ring_n or_o seal_n be_v imprint_v and_o set_v in_o the_o wax_n that_o be_v seal_v therefore_o it_o be_v needful_a that_o the_o matter_n of_o the_o instrument_n of_o memory_n shall_v be_v so_o well_o temper_v memory_n that_o it_o be_v neither_o too_o soft_a nor_o too_o hard_a for_o if_o it_o be_v too_o soft_a the_o image_n will_v be_v soon_o engrave_v but_o they_o will_v not_o stay_v there_o any_o long_a time_n as_o they_o that_o will_v be_v quick_o blot_v out_o contrariwise_o if_o it_o be_v over_o hard_o it_o will_v be_v a_o hard_a matter_n to_o imprint_v they_o therein_o but_o when_o it_o be_v well_o temper_v it_o receive_v the_o image_n easy_o and_o keep_v they_o well_o for_o the_o memory_n have_v two_o duty_n as_o well_o as_o the_o hand_n namely_o to_o receive_v and_o to_o hold_v fast_o therefore_o they_o that_o be_v of_o a_o moist_a brain_n receive_v more_o easy_o into_o their_o memory_n that_o which_o be_v offer_v unto_o they_o and_o they_o that_o have_v a_o dry_a brain_n retain_v and_o keep_v better_o in_o memory_n but_o follow_v that_o which_o we_o have_v hitherto_o speak_v of_o all_o the_o internal_a sense_n sense_n we_o be_v now_o to_o observe_v and_o note_v this_o that_o the_o knowledge_n of_o thing_n which_o we_o have_v by_o the_o outward_a sense_n be_v as_o if_o we_o behold_v the_o shadow_n of_o they_o and_o that_o knowledge_n which_o we_o have_v by_o the_o common_a

moderation_n or_o defect_n in_o the_o internal_a sense_n which_o exercise_n their_o office_n in_o the_o head_n as_o well_o particular_o as_o general_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o without_o reason_n
