A33907	The difference between the present and future state of our bodies considered in a sermon / by Jeremy Collier.	Collier, Jeremy, 1650-1726.	1686 (1686)	Wing C5251; ESTC R23724	13,546	37

of_o this_o nature_n happen_v the_o soul_n usual_o have_v notice_n of_o it_o which_o unacceptable_a news_n be_v that_o which_o we_o call_v pain_n which_o be_v sometime_o so_o pungent_a and_o afflict_a that_o it_o make_v all_o worldly_a blessing_n insignificant_a to_o we_o insomuch_o that_o there_o be_v not_o many_o who_o have_v experience_v any_o acute_a distemper_n who_o will_v not_o if_o it_o be_v put_v to_o their_o choice_n prefer_v health_n and_o poverty_n to_o violent_a pain_n and_o disease_n though_o support_v and_o gild_v over_o with_o never_o so_o much_o wealth_n and_o honour_n now_o if_o it_o be_v ask_v why_o god_n have_v make_v the_o soul_n so_o deep_o sensible_a of_o the_o injury_n which_o the_o body_n receive_v i_o suppose_v these_o follow_a reason_n without_o add_v any_o more_o may_v be_v a_o sufficient_a satisfaction_n to_o such_o a_o enquiry_n 1._o therefore_o we_o may_v rational_o conclude_v that_o god_n have_v make_v the_o soul_n liable_a to_o impression_n of_o this_o nature_n that_o we_o may_v be_v more_o careful_a to_o preserve_v the_o body_n from_o fall_v into_o decay_n pain_n i_o observe_v before_o be_v a_o unwelcome_a and_o grate_a sense_n of_o some_o injury_n which_o the_o body_n suffer_v now_o if_o the_o soul_n be_v not_o intimate_o affect_v with_o alteration_n of_o this_o nature_n and_o concern_v upon_o its_o own_o account_n to_o procure_v the_o welfare_n of_o its_o companion_n we_o have_v reason_n to_o believe_v a_o great_a many_o body_n will_v be_v very_o indifferent_o provide_v for_o for_o the_o mind_n will_v be_v so_o much_o take_v up_o with_o its_o own_o business_n that_o be_v it_o not_o admonish_v of_o the_o necessity_n of_o the_o body_n by_o partake_v of_o the_o inconvenience_n of_o they_o they_o will_v be_v often_o neglect_v man_n of_o covetous_a ambitious_a or_o contemplative_a mind_n rather_o than_o have_v their_o design_n and_o pleasure_n interrupt_v will_v be_v apt_a to_o deny_v the_o body_n its_o due_a maintenance_n in_o eat_v and_o sleep_v if_o they_o be_v not_o importune_v and_o as_o it_o be_v force_v upon_o justice_n by_o the_o trouble_n and_o uneasiness_n of_o watch_v and_o abstinence_n be_v it_o not_o for_o the_o pain_n of_o a_o wound_n or_o distemper_n we_o shall_v often_o let_v they_o run_v till_o they_o be_v incurable_a in_o this_o case_n many_o will_v serve_v their_o body_n as_o they_o do_v their_o house_n which_o because_o they_o do_v not_o feel_v they_o smart_v when_o they_o decay_v they_o let_v they_o drop_v for_o want_v of_o timely_a repair_n a_o second_o reason_n why_o god_n make_v the_o soul_n sensible_a of_o bodily_a pain_n may_v be_v that_o its_o virtue_n may_v have_v the_o fair_a trial_n to_o be_v above_o the_o threaten_n of_o ill_a man_n and_o to_o submit_v to_o any_o pain_n and_o hardship_n rather_o than_o depart_v from_o those_o opinion_n and_o practice_n which_o we_o believe_v to_o be_v right_a and_o necessary_a be_v a_o argument_n of_o true_a greatness_n of_o mind_n and_o the_o high_a testimony_n of_o a_o good_a man_n now_o the_o body_n by_o lay_v we_o open_a to_o almost_o all_o sort_n of_o injury_n we_o be_v capable_a of_o receive_v give_v we_o a_o opportunity_n of_o exercise_v our_o patience_n and_o fortitude_n in_o suffer_v in_o obedience_n to_o god_n command_n to_o these_o virtue_n the_o imperfection_n and_o defenceless_a state_n of_o our_o body_n advance_v we_o for_o be_v we_o proof_n against_o all_o misfortune_n we_o shall_v be_v uncapable_a of_o this_o honour_n for_o patience_n suppose_v we_o to_o lie_v under_o the_o sense_n of_o a_o present_a evil_n take_v away_o the_o affliction_n and_o there_o will_v be_v no_o appearance_n of_o the_o virtue_n leave_v behind_o neither_o can_v fortitude_n have_v any_o place_n except_o we_o believe_v ourselves_o within_o the_o reach_n of_o danger_n for_o what_o courage_n can_v it_o be_v to_o encounter_v any_o thing_n when_o we_o know_v it_o be_v impossible_a for_o we_o to_o be_v hurt_v a_o three_o reason_n why_o god_n have_v subject_v the_o soul_n to_o bodily_a pain_n be_v for_o the_o correction_n of_o our_o vice_n many_o sin_n do_v natural_o bring_v indisposition_n and_o disease_n upon_o the_o body_n the_o dread_a and_o experience_n of_o which_o do_v not_o seldom_o restrain_v and_o bring_v we_o off_o from_o they_o beside_o pain_n and_o sickness_n by_o convince_a man_n how_o insignificant_a or_o rather_o troublesome_a their_o life_n be_v to_o they_o &_o what_o a_o slender_a hold_n they_o have_v of_o it_o be_v oftentimes_o a_o good_a expedient_a not_o only_o for_o the_o reclaim_n those_o vice_n which_o depend_v upon_o the_o ill_a use_n of_o the_o body_n but_o of_o a_o general_a reformation_n for_o do_v man_n body_n fret_v out_o like_o their_o clothes_n without_o any_o considerable_a trouble_n to_o those_o that_o wear_v they_o we_o have_v reason_n to_o believe_v the_o soul_n will_v fare_v much_o the_o worse_o for_o it_o and_o be_v often_o send_v into_o the_o other_o world_n in_o a_o unprovided_a and_o forlorn_a condition_n so_o that_o without_o question_n we_o be_v as_o much_o bind_v to_o thank_v god_n for_o the_o infirmity_n and_o pain_n which_o flow_v from_o our_o constitution_n as_o for_o the_o health_n and_o pleasure_n of_o it_o beside_o we_o have_v reason_n to_o account_v it_o a_o great_a mercy_n that_o god_n have_v bind_v the_o soul_n so_o gentle_o to_o the_o body_n that_o a_o short_a struggle_n if_o it_o happen_v to_o prove_v boisterous_a will_v let_v it_o loose_v so_o that_o according_a to_o epicurus_n his_o maxim_n it_o be_v impossible_a for_o that_o pain_n which_o be_v violent_a to_o continue_v long_o whereas_o have_v the_o union_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o body_n be_v so_o strong_a that_o a_o man_n may_v have_v continue_v under_o the_o sharp_a torment_n for_o some_o month_n or_o year_n together_o how_o difficult_a will_v patience_n have_v be_v then_o what_o a_o advantage_n will_v the_o worst_a man_n have_v have_v over_o the_o best_a and_o have_v be_v able_a by_o their_o cruelty_n to_o have_v almost_o tire_v out_o the_o brave_a and_o most_o resolute_a virtue_n 5._o the_o present_a constitution_n of_o our_o body_n be_v inconvenient_a because_o it_o hinder_v the_o mind_n in_o her_o pursuit_n after_o knowledge_n knowledge_n next_o to_o goodness_n be_v the_o high_a exaltation_n of_o humane_a nature_n and_o set_v we_o at_o the_o great_a distance_n from_o the_o brute_n beneath_o we_o now_o that_o the_o present_a condition_n of_o our_o body_n do_v hinder_v our_o proficiency_n in_o this_o so_o excellent_a a_o accomplishment_n appear_v from_o what_o have_v be_v say_v already_o as_o 1._o because_o we_o be_v bear_v infant_n and_o the_o body_n be_v unfit_a for_o the_o soul_n to_o exercise_v its_o function_n in_o in_o which_o state_n of_o our_o infancy_n we_o pass_v a_o great_a many_o wrong_a judgement_n upon_o thing_n so_o that_o when_o we_o come_v to_o the_o use_n of_o our_o reason_n we_o be_v not_o only_o void_a of_o true_a knowledge_n but_o have_v a_o great_a many_o thing_n to_o unlearn_v which_o mistake_v its_o very_a difficult_a to_o shake_v off_o now_o though_o these_o prejudices_fw-la relate_fw-la chief_o to_o our_o proficiency_n in_o the_o knowledge_n of_o natural_a cause_n yet_o it_o must_v be_v aknowledge_v in_o the_o second_o place_n that_o the_o passion_n which_o the_o body_n subject_n we_o to_o be_v sometime_o a_o occasion_n that_o we_o do_v not_o examine_v thing_n with_o that_o deliberation_n and_o indifferency_n which_o be_v necessary_a to_o the_o find_n out_o moral_a truth_n and_o consequent_o make_v we_o inclinable_a to_o some_o practical_a opinion_n rather_o than_o other_o for_o according_a as_o the_o particular_a bias_n of_o our_o body_n dispose_v we_o to_o any_o excess_n of_o hope_n or_o fear_n of_o anger_n or_o pleasure_n if_o we_o be_v not_o careful_a our_o apprehension_n of_o religion_n will_v bend_v into_o a_o compliance_n with_o the_o genius_n and_o tendency_n of_o these_o passion_n for_o when_o reason_n be_v either_o bribe_v or_o discompose_v by_o the_o affection_n it_o be_v than_o more_o likely_a to_o pronounce_v amiss_o upon_o thing_n than_o when_o the_o mind_n be_v even_o and_o impartial_a for_o example_n a_o man_n of_o a_o melancholic_a and_o gloomy_a temper_n if_o he_o give_v way_n to_o it_o will_v be_v in_o some_o danger_n of_o perplex_v his_o imagination_n with_o infinite_a and_o unreasonable_a fear_n concern_v god_n almighty_a as_o if_o he_o be_v a_o humoursom_a or_o implacable_a be_v and_o consequent_o such_o a_o person_n may_v be_v more_o easy_o proselyte_v to_o the_o doctrine_n of_o superstition_n or_o despair_v whereas_o another_o of_o a_o bold_a and_o more_o sanguine_a constitution_n will_v be_v rather_o tempt_v to_o presume_v too_o much_o upon_o god_n goodness_n magnify_v his_o mercy_n to_o the_o prejudice_n of_o his_o wisdom_n and_o justice_n and_o if_o he_o happen_v to_o fall_v

the_o difference_n between_o the_o present_a and_o future_a state_n of_o our_o body_n consider_v in_o a_o sermon_n by_o jeremy_n collier_n m._n a._n london_n print_v for_o sam._n smith_n at_o the_o
