promote_v by_o our_o essential_a consistency_n of_o spirit_n and_o body_n the_o material_a and_o bodily_a part_n always_o dispose_v we_o to_o the_o pursuance_n of_o outward_a thing_n contrary_a to_o the_o approbation_n of_o the_o intellectual_a but_o since_o the_o depravation_n of_o man_n will_n by_o the_o fall_n of_o adam_n we_o be_v unite_v to_o error_n and_o need_v not_o a_o tempter_n to_o lead_v we_o out_o of_o the_o way_n for_o both_o the_o principle_n of_o our_o be_v do_v now_o dispose_v we_o to_o wrong_v object_n therefore_o to_o lay_v open_a this_o grand_a fallacy_n it_o be_v in_o a_o matter_n of_o so_o great_a concernment_n as_o be_v the_o eternal_a happiness_n or_o perdition_n of_o man_n let_v we_o examine_v what_o be_v requisite_a to_o the_o constitute_n of_o true_a pleasure_n to_o the_o make_n up_o then_o of_o true_a and_o real_a pleasure_n i_o shall_v lay_v down_o these_o three_o condition_n as_o requisite_a first_o that_o the_o object_n be_v suitable_a to_o the_o soul_n second_o that_o the_o soul_n be_v put_v into_o fruition_n of_o this_o suitable_a object_n three_o that_o the_o perpetuity_n of_o this_o fruition_n be_v insure_v to_o it_o now_o let_v we_o

no._n first_o then_o be_v any_o external_n thing_n a_o object_n suitable_a to_o the_o mind_n of_o man_n i_o answer_v that_o no_o external_n thing_n be_v because_o they_o all_o want_v two_o qualification_n which_o be_v requisite_a to_o make_v a_o object_n suitable_a to_o the_o mind_n the_o first_o of_o which_o be_v that_o it_o be_v congeneal_a and_o of_o the_o same_o nature_n with_o the_o soul_n that_o be_v a_o substance_n immaterial_a or_o spiritual_a the_o second_o that_o it_o have_v in_o it_o a_o sufficiency_n to_o gratify_v all_o the_o appetite_n of_o the_o soul_n first_o no_o outward_a thing_n be_v immaterial_a or_o spiritual_a for_o a_o spiritual_a substance_n come_v not_o within_o the_o notice_n of_o our_o sense_n and_o though_o in_o scripture_n we_o read_v of_o the_o appear_v of_o angel_n as_o three_o to_o abraham_n two_o to_o lot_n one_o to_o cornelius_n another_o to_z saint_n t_o peter_n yet_o this_o must_v be_v suppose_v to_o have_v be_v by_o the_o

of_o rome_n that_o there_o be_v a_o tutelary_a and_o a_o seduce_a angel_n attend_v upon_o every_o man_n and_o woman_n and_o likewise_o child_n which_o be_v indeed_o hold_v among_o the_o heathen_a under_o the_o term_n of_o bone_fw-la and_o malus_fw-la genius_fw-la yet_o it_o speak_v indefinite_o heb._n 1._o 14._o that_o they_o be_v all_o minister_a spirit_n for_o the_o elect_a but_o notwithstanding_o their_o presence_n appear_v not_o to_o they_o when_o they_o come_v in_o their_o own_o nature_n so_o likewise_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n be_v not_o within_o the_o notice_n of_o our_o sense_n be_v spirit_n and_o incorporeal_a substance_n as_o angel_n be_v for_o which_o we_o have_v the_o testimony_n of_o scripture_n man_n be_v make_v after_o the_o image_n and_o similitude_n of_o god_n but_o since_o the_o sense_n of_o these_o word_n image_n and_o similitude_n be_v much_o controvert_v in_o the_o school_n let_v we_o look_v into_o the_o twelve_o of_o the_o hebrew_n at_o the_o nine_o verse_n furthermore_o we_o have_v father_n of_o our_o flesh_n which_o correct_v we_o and_o we_o give_v they_o reverence_n shall_v we_o not_o much_o rather_o be_v in_o subjection_n to_o the_o father_n of_o spirit_n and_o live_v where_o soul_n be_v call_v spirit_n in_o opposition_n to_o flesh_n beside_o the_o testimony_n of_o scripture_n we_o have_v a_o demonstration_n of_o their_o nature_n in_o the_o death_n of_o every_o man_n for_o though_o the_o soul_n be_v separate_v from_o the_o body_n yet_o the_o stander_n by_o see_v it_o not_o we_o hear_v nothing_o but_o the_o groan_n of_o the_o

nothing_o but_o a_o putrid_a savour_n cause_v by_o the_o corruption_n of_o humour_n neither_o do_v we_o taste_v any_o thing_n on_o the_o contrary_a all_o outward_a and_o corporeal_a thing_n be_v

though_o we_o taste_v not_o the_o white_a of_o a_o egg_n yet_o we_o can_v see_v it_o or_o feel_v it_o and_o though_o we_o can_v smell_v a_o piece_n of_o glass_n yet_o we_o can_v likewise_o see_v it_o or_o feel_v it_o and_o so_o of_o all_o material_a thing_n that_o be_v at_o a_o due_a distance_n from_o the_o organ_n of_o our_o sense_n and_o here_o before_o we_o look_v into_o the_o second_o thing_n requisite_a let_v we_o examine_v why_o it_o be_v necessary_a that_o the_o object_n be_v of_o the_o same_o nature_n with_o the_o soul_n thus_o then_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n be_v immaterial_a that_o which_o make_v it_o happy_a by_o the_o fruition_n of_o itself_o must_v likewise_o be_v immaterial_a for_o as_o it_o be_v a_o fundamental_a in_o physic_n that_o nutrition_n be_v make_v by_o similary_n so_o likewise_o be_v this_o assertion_n true_a in_o the_o metaphysical_a complacency_n between_o the_o soul_n and_o the_o object_n it_o can_v receive_v a_o proper_a supply_n from_o any_o thing_n that_o do_v not_o bear_v a_o affinity_n with_o it_o in_o its_o substance_n and_o quality_n this_o reciprocal_a delight_n between_o party_n be_v discoverable_a in_o every_o species_n of_o create_a

of_o fire_n and_o water_n in_o moral_n goodness_n accord_v with_o goodness_n but_o vice_n will_v not_o be_v suffer_v to_o dwell_v with_o virtue_n and_o in_o the_o metaphysical_a action_n of_o the_o
