and_o nature_n see_v this_o faculty_n to_o be_v so_o necessary_a in_o man_n that_o she_o have_v be_v content_a that_o by_o more_o cause_n we_o shall_v be_v importune_v to_o laugh_v than_o to_o the_o

laugh_v at_o the_o hear_n of_o comedy_n or_o other_o witty_a report_n i_o have_v note_v some_o which_o not_o understand_v jest_n etc._n etc._n have_v yet_o choose_v this_o as_o the_o best_a mean_n

it_o and_o i_o xi_o that_o the_o gift_n of_o the_o body_n be_v better_o than_o those_o of_o the_o mind_n i_o say_v again_o that_o the_o body_n make_v the_o mind_n not_o that_o it_o create_v it_o a_o

the_o soul_n it_o seem_v be_v enable_v by_o our_o body_n not_o this_o by_o it_o my_o body_n license_v my_o soul_n to_o see_v the_o world_n beauty_n through_o my_o eye_n to_o hear_v pleasant_a thing_n through_o my_o ear_n and_o afford_v it_o apt_a organ_n for_o the_o convenience_n of_o all_o perceivable_a delight_n but_o alas_o my_o soul_n can_v make_v any_o part_n that_o be_v not_o of_o itself_o dispose_v to_o see_v or_o hear_v though_o without_o doubt_n she_o be_v as_o able_a and_o as_o willing_a to_o see_v behind_o as_o before_o now_o if_o my_o soul_n will_v say_v that_o she_o enable_v any_o part_n to_o taste_v these_o pleasure_n but_o be_v herself_o only_o delight_v with_o those_o rich_a sweetness_n which_o her_o inward_a eye_n and_o sense_n apprehend_v she_o shall_v dissemble_v for_o i_o see_v she_o often_o solace_v with_o beauty_n which_o she_o see_v through_o my_o eye_n and_o with_o music_n which_o through_o my_o ear_n she_o hear_v this_o perfection_n than_o my_o body_n

to_o the_o best_a espouse_a part_n show_v it_o beauty_n of_o angel_n of_o music_n of_o sphere_n whereof_o she_o boast_v the_o contemplation_n be_v chastity_n temperance_n and_o fortitude_n gift_n of_o
