such_o science_n the_o production_n of_o the_o contrary_a commodity_n and_o thus_o much_o be_v sufficient_a to_o say_v nothing_o of_o the_o praise_n and_o other_o contentment_n proceed_v from_o philosophy_n to_o let_v you_o see_v the_o utility_n of_o the_o same_o in_o every_o kind_n thereof_o 8_o the_o subject_a of_o philosophy_n or_o the_o matter_n it_o treat_v of_o be_v every_o body_n of_o which_o we_o can_v conceive_v any_o generation_n and_o which_o we_o may_v by_o any_o consideration_n thereof_o compare_v with_o other_o body_n or_o which_o be_v capable_a of_o composition_n and_o resolution_n that_o be_v to_o say_v every_o body_n of_o who_o generation_n or_o property_n we_o can_v have_v any_o knowledge_n and_o this_o may_v be_v deduce_v from_o the_o definition_n of_o philosophy_n who_o profession_n it_o be_v to_o search_v out_o the_o property_n of_o body_n from_o their_o generation_n or_o their_o generation_n from_o their_o property_n and_o therefore_o where_o there_o be_v no_o generation_n nor_o property_n there_o be_v no_o philosophy_n therefore_o it_o exclude_v theology_n i_o mean_v the_o doctrine_n of_o god_n eternal_a ingenerable_a incomprehensible_a and_o in_o who_o there_o be_v nothing_o neither_o to_o divide_v nor_o compound_v nor_o any_o generation_n to_o be_v conceive_v it_o exclude_v the_o doctrine_n of_o angel_n and_o all_o such_o thing_n as_o be_v think_v to_o be_v neither_o body_n nor_o property_n of_o body_n there_o be_v in_o they_o no_o place_n neither_o for_o composition_n nor_o division_n nor_o any_o capacity_n of_o more_o and_o less_o that_o be_v to_o say_v no_o place_n for_o ratiocination_n it_o exclude_v history_n as_o well_o natural_a as_o political_a though_o most_o useful_a nay_o necessary_a to_o philosophy_n because_o such_o knowledge_n be_v but_o experience_n or_o authority_n and_o not_o ratiocination_n it_o exclude_v all_o such_o knowledge_n as_o be_v acquire_v by_o divine_a inspiration_n or_o revelation_n as_o not_o derive_v to_o we_o by_o reason_n but_o by_o divine_a grace_n in_o a_o instant_n and_o as_o it_o be_v by_o some_o sense_n supernatural_a it_o exclude_v not_o only_o all_o doctrine_n which_o be_v false_a but_o such_o also_o as_o be_v not_o well_o ground_v for_o whatsoever_o we_o know_v by_o right_a ratiocination_n can_v neither_o be_v false_a nor_o doubtful_a and_o therefore_o astrology_n as_o it_o be_v now_o hold_v forth_o and_o all_o such_o divination_n rather_o than_o science_n be_v exclude_v last_o the_o doctrine_n of_o god_n worship_n be_v exclude_v from_o philosophy_n as_o be_v not_o to_o be_v know_v by_o natural_a reason_n but_o by_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o church_n and_o as_o be_v the_o object_n of_o faith_n and_o not_o of_o knowledge_n 9_o the_o principal_a part_n of_o philosophy_n be_v two_o for_o two_o chief_a kind_n of_o body_n and_o very_o different_a from_o one_o another_o offer_v themselves_o to_o such_o as_o search_v after_o their_o generation_n &_o property_n one_o whereof_o be_v the_o work_n of_o nature_n be_v call_v a_o natural_a body_n the_o other_o be_v call_v a_o commonwealth_n and_o be_v make_v by_o the_o will_n and_o agreement_n of_o man_n and_o from_o these_o spring_n the_o two_o part_n of_o philosophy_n call_v natural_a and_o civil_a but_o see_v that_o for_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o property_n of_o a_o commonwealth_n it_o be_v necessary_a first_o to_o know_v the_o disposition_n affection_n and_o manner_n of_o man_n civil_a philosophy_n be_v again_o common_o divide_v into_o two_o part_n whereof_o one_o which_o treat_v of_o man_n disposition_n and_o manner_n be_v call_v ethic_n and_o the_o other_o which_o take_v cognisance_n of_o their_o civil_a duty_n be_v call_v politic_n or_o simple_o civil_a philosophy_n in_o the_o first_o place_n therefore_o after_o i_o have_v set_v down_o such_o premise_n as_o appertain_v to_o the_o nature_n of_o philosophy_n in_o general_n i_o will_v discourse_v of_o body_n natural_a in_o the_o second_o of_o the_o disposition_n and_o manner_n of_o man_n and_o in_o the_o three_o of_o the_o civil_a duty_n of_o subject_n 10_o to_o conclude_v see_v there_o may_v be_v many_o who_o will_v not_o like_o this_o my_o definition_n of_o philosophy_n and_o will_v say_v that_o from_o the_o liberty_n which_o a_o man_n may_v take_v of_o so_o define_v as_o seem_v best_a to_o himself_o he_o may_v conclude_v any_o thing_n from_o any_o thing_n though_o i_o think_v it_o no_o hard_a matter_n to_o demonstrate_v that_o this_o definition_n of_o i_o agree_v with_o the_o sense_n of_o all_o man_n yet_o lest_o in_o this_o point_n there_o shall_v be_v any_o cause_n of_o dispute_n betwixt_o i_o and_o they_o i_o here_o undertake_v no_o more_o then_o to_o deliver_v the_o element_n of_o that_o science_n by_o which_o the_o effect_n of_o any_o thing_n may_v be_v find_v out_o from_o the_o know_a generation_n of_o the_o same_o or_o contrary_o the_o generation_n from_o the_o effect_n to_o the_o
