be_v neither_o in_o herself_o nor_o in_o her_o body_n but_o in_o object_n only_o and_o for_o this_o reason_n it_o be_v we_o divest_v our_o own_o soul_n and_o our_o own_o eye_n of_o light_n and_o

by_o these_o sensation_n what_o he_o ought_v to_o do_v for_o the_o preservation_n of_o his_o life_n but_o he_o be_v never_o willing_a to_o be_v perturbate_v by_o they_o in_o spite_n of_o his_o will._n

the_o soul_n existence_n but_o pleasure_n have_v no_o necessary_a relation_n to_o the_o object_n that_o seem_v to_o cause_v it_o and_o love_n be_v necessary_o relate_v unto_o good_n pleasure_n be_v to_o the_o soul_n what_o figure_n be_v to_o body_n and_o motion_n be_v to_o body_n what_o love_n be_v to_o the_o soul_n but_o the_o motion_n of_o a_o body_n be_v very_o different_a from_o its_o

but_o the_o figure_n of_o a_o body_n differ_v from_o its_o motion_n and_o it_o may_v be_v spherical_a and_o yet_o remain_v at_o rest_n it_o be_v true_a in_o this_o case_n it_o go_v not_o with_o spirit_n as_o with_o body_n those_o can_v feel_v a_o pleasure_n but_o they_o must_v be_v in_o motion_n because_o god_n who_o only_o make_v and_o preserve_v they_o for_o himself_o drive_v they_o perpetual_o on_o towards_o good_a but_o that_o do_v not_o prove_v that_o the_o pleasure_n of_o the_o soul_n be_v the_o same_o thing_n as_o its_o motion_n for_o two_o thing_n though_o differ_v from_o each_o other_o may_v yet_o be_v always_o find_v inseparable_o together_o i_o answer_v last_o that_o although_o pleasure_n be_v not_o different_a from_o the_o love_n or_o motion_n of_o the_o soul_n

to_o separate_v they_o for_o which_o reason_n they_o be_v look_v upon_o as_o a_o whole_a by_o contiguity_n i_o understand_v that_o whatever_o it_o be_v which_o make_v i_o judge_v that_o two_o body_n

by_o the_o three_o word_n union_n i_o understand_v something_o or_o other_o which_o make_v two_o glass_n or_o two_o marble-stone_n who_o surface_n be_v well_o rub_v and_o polish_v upon_o each_o

out_o it_o will_v prove_v no_o hard_a task_n to_o discover_v the_o rest_n it_o seem_v now_o necessary_a to_o i_o that_o this_o i_o do_v know_v wat_fw-mi which_o bind_v even_o the_o small_a part_n of_o that_o piece_n of_o iron_n i_o hold_v in_o my_o hand_n shall_v be_v something_o very_o powerful_a since_o i_o must_v use_v a_o very_a great_a force_n to_o break_v off_o a_o small_a part_n of_o it_o but_o be_o not_o i_o extreme_o mistake_v for_o may_v not_o that_o difficulty_n i_o find_v in_o break_v the_o least_o piece_n of_o this_o iron_n come_v from_o my_o weakness_n and_o not_o from_o the_o

fall_v sick_a it_o may_v happen_v that_o my_o utmost_a endeavour_n can_v not_o perform_v it_o i_o see_v therefore_o that_o i_o must_v not_o judge_v absolute_o of_o the_o firmness_n with_o which_o the_o part_n of_o iron_n be_v join_v together_o by_o the_o endeavour_n i_o make_v to_o disunite_a they_o but_o only_o judge_v that_o they_o stick_v very_o strict_o to_o each_o other_o in_o relation_n to_o my_o little_a strength_n or_o that_o they_o hang_v more_o firm_o together_o than_o the_o part_n of_o my_o flesh_n since_o the_o sense_n of_o pain_n i_o feel_v in_o use_v too_o much_o force_v advertise_n i_o i_o shall_v soon_o disunite_v the_o part_n of_o my_o body_n than_o those_o of_o the_o iron_n thence_o i_o conclude_v that_o as_o i_o be_o not_o absolute_o strong_a nor_o weak_a so_o iron_n and_o other_o body_n be_v not_o absolute_o hard_a or_o flexible_a but_o only_o in_o reference_n to_o the_o cause_n that_o act_n upon_o they_o and_o that_o my_o endeavour_n can_v be_v a_o rule_n to_o measure_v the_o degree_n of_o force_n that_o must_v be_v use_v to_o overcome_v the_o resistance_n and_o hardness_n of_o iron_n since_o rule_n must_v be_v unvariable_a whereas_o those_o

suppose_v then_o that_o adam_n and_o eve_n have_v sin_v and_o consequent_o thereupon_o feel_v in_o themselves_o involuntary_a and_o rebellious_a motion_n i_o say_v that_o their_o child_n must_v

before_o he_o know_v whether_o the_o fruit_n be_v good_a it_o be_v evident_a it_o prevent_v his_o reason_n a_o huntsman_n when_o hungry_a expect_v to_o find_v or_o actual_o find_v something_o

pleasure_n undoubted_o precede_v love_n since_o it_o precede_v all_o knowledge_n which_o some_o way_n or_o other_o be_v always_o suppose_v by_o love_n on_o the_o contrary_a joy_n or_o the_o pleasure_n which_o suppose_v forego_v knowledge_n presuppose_v likewise_o love_n since_o joy_n suppose_v either_o a_o confuse_a sensation_n or_o a_o clear_a knowledge_n of_o the_o present_a or_o future_a

without_o itself_o nevertheless_o a_o christian_a love_n his_o enemy_n and_o a_o well-educated_a child_n his_o father_n though_o never_o so_o irrational_a and_o unkind_a the_o sight_n of_o their_o

that_o be_v no_o way_n delightful_a i_o own_o they_o sometime_o have_v the_o sense_n of_o pleasure_n or_o joy_n upon_o the_o reflection_n that_o they_o perform_v their_o duty_n or_o upon_o the_o

though_o perhaps_o it_o may_v be_v the_o motive_n of_o it_o it_o sometime_o be_v not_o so_o much_o as_o the_o motive_n of_o their_o act_n but_o it_o be_v only_o a_o abstract_n view_n of_o order_n or_o a_o notion_n of_o fear_n which_o preserve_v their_o love_n in_o one_o sense_n it_o may_v be_v true_o say_v they_o have_v a_o love_n for_o these_o person_n even_o whilst_o they_o do_v not_o think_v of_o they_o for_o love_n remain_v in_o we_o during_o the_o avocation_n of_o thought_n and_o in_o sleep_n but_o i_o conceive_v that_o pleasure_n have_v no_o long_o a_o substance_n in_o the_o soul_n than_o she_o be_v aware_a of_o it_o thus_o love_n or_o charity_n remain_v in_o we_o without_o pleasure_n or_o delectation_n can_v be_v maintain_v to_o be_v the_o very_a same_o thing_n since_o

of_o pain_n be_v not_o pain_n but_o suppose_v it_o hatred_n of_o pain_n do_v not_o merit_v our_o hatred_n as_o do_v pain_n for_o the_o former_a be_v on_o the_o contrary_a very_o agreeable_a in_o that_o we_o be_v please_v in_o hate_v it_o as_o we_o be_v displease_v in_o suffer_v it_o pain_n therefore_o not_o be_v hatred_n the_o pleasure_n which_o be_v contrary_a to_o pain_n be_v not_o love_n which_o be_v contrary_a to_o hatred_n and_o consequent_o the_o pleasure_n which_o be_v precedaneous_a to_o reason_n be_v not_o the_o same_o thing_n as_o love_n i_o prove_v likewise_o that_o joy_n or_o

consequent_o exceed_v great_a but_o in_o answer_n to_o this_o i_o say_v first_o that_o pure_o intellectual_a joy_n leave_v the_o mind_n to_o its_o entire_a liberty_n and_o take_v up_o but_o very_o little_a of_o its_o think_v capacity_n wherein_o it_o differ_v from_o sensible_a joy_n which_o common_o disturb_v the_o reason_n and_o lessen_v the_o liberty_n i_o answer_v second_o that_o the_o happiness_n of_o adam_n at_o the_o first_o instant_a of_o his_o creation_n do_v not_o consist_v in_o a_o plenary_a and_o entire_a possession_n of_o the_o supreme_a good_a it_o be_v possible_a for_o he_o to_o lose_v it_o and_o become_v miserable_a but_o herein_o his_o happiness_n especial_o consist_v that_o he_o suffer_v no_o evil_n and_o be_v in_o the_o good_a favour_n of_o he_o who_o must_v have_v perfect_v his_o felicity_n if_o he_o have_v persevere_v in_o his_o state_n of_o innocency_n thus_o his_o joy_n be_v not_o excessive_a nay_o it_o be_v or_o ought_v to_o have_v be_v temper_v with_o a_o alloy_n of_o fear_n for_o he_o ought_v to_o have_v be_v diffident_a of_o himself_o i_o answer_v last_o that_o joy_n do_v not_o always_o intend_v the_o mind_n upon_o the_o true_a cause_n that_o produce_v it_o as_o a_o sense_n of_o joy_n arise_v upon_o the_o contemplation_n of_o one_o be_v own_o perfection_n it_o be_v natural_a to_o believe_v that_o prospect_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o it_o for_o when_o a_o thing_n constant_o follow_v from_o another_o it_o be_v natural_o look_v upon_o as_o one_o of_o its_o effect_n thus_o a_o man_n consider_v himself_o as_o the_o author_n of_o his_o own_o present_a happiness_n he_o find_v a_o secret_a complacency_n in_o his_o natural_a perfection_n he_o love_v himself_o and_o think_v not_o of_o he_o who_o operate_v in_o he_o in_o a_o imperceptible_a manner_n it_o be_v true_a adam_n more_o distinct_o know_v than_o the_o great_a of_o philosopher_n that_o god_n alone_o be_v able_a to_o act_v in_o he_o and_o produce_v that_o sense_n of_o joy_n which_o he_o feel_v upon_o the_o consideration_n of_o his_o happiness_n and_o perfection_n this_o he_o know_v clear_o by_o the_o light_n of_o reason_n when_o he_o attend_v to_o it_o but_o not_o by_o any_o sensation_n which_o on_o the_o contrary_a teach_v he_o that_o his_o joy_n be_v a_o consequence_n of_o his_o perfection_n see_v he_o have_v the_o constant_a sense_n of_o it_o and_o that_o without_o any_o application_n on_o his_o part_n and_o so_o this_o sensation_n may_v lead_v he_o to_o consider_v his_o own_o perfection_n and_o take_v pleasure_n in_o himself_o if_o he_o either_o forget_v or_o any_o way_n lose_v sight_n of_o he_o who_o operation_n in_o we_o be_v not_o of_o a_o sensible_a nature_n so_o far_o will_v this_o joy_n have_v be_v from_o render_v he_o impeccable_a as_o be_v pretend_v that_o on_o the_o contrary_a it_o may_v probable_o be_v the_o occasion_n of_o his_o pride_n and_o fall_n and_o it_o be_v for_o this_o reason_n that_o i_o say_v in_o this_o chapter_n that_o adam_n ought_v to_o have_v take_v care_v not_o to_o have_v suffer_v the_o capacity_n of_o his_o mind_n to_o be_v fill_v with_o a_o presumptuous_a joy_n kindle_v in_o his_o soul_n upon_o reflection_n on_o his_o own_o natural_a perfection_n the_o illustration_n upon_o the_o five_o chapter_n of_o the_o first_o book_n where_o i_o say_v that_o prevent_v delight_n be_v the_o

what_o he_o have_v merit_v but_o i_o name_v it_o so_o to_o distinguish_v it_o from_o the_o grace_n which_o god_n give_v adam_n in_o his_o creation_n which_o common_o we_o call_v the_o grace_n of_o the_o creator_n for_o the_o grace_n by_o which_o adam_n may_v have_v persevere_v in_o innocence_n be_v chief_o a_o grace_n of_o light_n or_o knowledge_n as_o i_o have_v explain_v in_o the_o forego_n

we_o in_o our_o duty_n and_o to_o beget_v and_o keep_v charity_n alive_a in_o we_o be_v prevent_v delectation_n for_o as_o pleasure_n produce_v and_o cherish_v the_o love_n of_o the_o thing_n that_o

opposite_a to_o charity_n if_o god_n do_v not_o beget_v and_o sustain_v in_o we_o the_o latter_a by_o prevent_v delectation_n it_o be_v plain_a that_o it_o will_v be_v enfeeble_v by_o the_o prevent_v

and_o do_v not_o weaken_v it_o by_o a_o infuse_v abhorrence_n to_o sensible_a object_n which_o as_o a_o result_n from_o sin_n must_v necessary_o tempt_v we_o i_o speak_v of_o thing_n according_a to_o
