my_o purpose_n man_n as_o he_o be_v natural_a according_a to_o the_o latter_a acception_n do_v perfectionate_a himself_o by_o that_o moral_a good_a which_o he_o do_v bend_v unto_o and_o that_o same_o

of_o will_n i_o come_v now_o to_o explain_v how_o the_o understanding_n be_v make_v practical_a and_o how_o speculative_a wherefore_o in_o the_o first_o place_n mark_v what_o the_o understanding_n

apprehend_v this_o better_a by_o a_o example_n the_o essential_a representation_n of_o a_o bull_n be_v wherein_o you_o perceive_v he_o by_o or_o in_o all_o his_o mode_n unite_a particular_o in_o

i_o conceive_v only_o one_o of_o his_o mode_n without_o conceive_v any_o of_o the_o other_o that_o be_v a_o modal_a representation_n as_o in_o conceive_v his_o horn_n only_o or_o the_o goodness_n of_o every_o mode_n by_o itself_o or_o the_o goodness_n of_o the_o whole_a essence_n observe_v then_o these_o several_a concept_n be_v several_a action_n because_o they_o be_v of_o several_a object_n which_o difference_n of_o action_n be_v call_v a_o material_a difference_n again_o this_o action_n be_v but_o one_o formal_o and_o depend_v from_o one_o formal_a power_n so_o that_o one_o power_n can_v promote_v but_o one_o formal_a action_n as_o in_o this_o instance_n the_o power_n which_o my_o hand_n have_v of_o writing_n fit_v it_o to_o write_v several_a letter_n as_o i._o d._n etc._n etc._n the_o write_n these_o several_a letter_n be_v distinct_a action_n because_o they_o differ_v in_o figure_n which_o be_v a_o material_a difference_n but_o then_o again_o the_o action_n of_o

from_o the_o other_o for_o the_o conceive_n of_o unity_n be_v not_o the_o conceive_n of_o good_a etc._n etc._n again_o the_o action_n of_o understanding_n or_o conceive_v be_v but_o one_o formal_o flow_v from_o one_o mind_n or_o one_o understanding_n faculty_n otherwise_o be_v it_o double_a it_o will_v require_v a_o double_a name_n moreover_o there_o be_v but_o one_o first_o and_o formal_a faculty_n of_o all_o being_n because_o all_o second_o faculty_n be_v derive_v from_o one_o and_o what_o be_v this_o faculty_n in_o man_n but_o the_o understanding_n whence_o it_o appear_v that_o the_o

according_a to_o this_o last_o caution_n the_o understanding_n can_v be_v say_v to_o be_v speculative_a or_o practic_a but_o its_o act_n be_v either_o speculative_a or_o practic_a or_o thus_o the_o

which_o the_o understanding_n have_v conceive_v convenient_a when_o a_o man_n conceive_v a_o thing_n to_o be_v good_a as_o in_o the_o beforementioned_a instance_n of_o a_o ox_n to_o be_v good_a for_o
