frame_v in_o the_o ear_n which_o we_o can_v see_v or_o comprehend_v as_o it_o be_v in_o itself_o nevertheless_o god_n give_v we_o great_a light_n thereunto_o by_o the_o matter_n and_o form_n of_o the_o instrument_n which_o he_o have_v make_v for_o the_o hear_n wherefore_o see_v the_o ear_n be_v frame_v so_o artificial_o as_o we_o have_v hear_v as_o appear_v to_o the_o eye_n by_o their_o

hear_v when_o they_o be_v lay_v open_a unto_o they_o as_o they_o be_v to_o anatomist_n to_o the_o end_n that_o by_o the_o view_n and_o contemplation_n of_o they_o they_o may_v judge_v of_o that_o secret_a work_n of_o nature_n which_o god_n have_v wrought_v in_o hear_v which_o can_v be_v see_v with_o eye_n when_o it_o be_v in_o do_v for_o we_o know_v by_o experience_n whereto_o serve_v a_o hammer_n a_o anvil_n and_o a_o taber_n and_o what_o sound_n they_o make_v when_o the_o one_o strike_v and_o the_o other_o be_v strike_v and_o how_o that_o hollow_a thing_n be_v more_o fit_n to_o

composition_n of_o the_o ear_n we_o may_v easy_o judge_v that_o god_n have_v not_o place_v they_o there_o but_o to_o do_v that_o service_n which_o may_v be_v perform_v by_o such_o instrument_n to_o
have_v not_o give_v it_o to_o any_o of_o they_o but_o to_o he_o only_o &_o by_o that_o he_o have_v put_v a_o difference_n between_o he_o &_o the_o beast_n as_o also_o by_o reason_n and_o

what_o good_a shall_v they_o receive_v by_o that_o sense_n &_o understanding_n which_o god_n have_v give_v they_o more_o they_o to_o beast_n if_o they_o have_v no_o more_o speech_n than_o they_o

be_v to_o know_v that_o it_o be_v very_o serviceable_a to_o the_o whole_a body_n brain_n and_o chief_o to_o the_o brain_n lodge_v in_o the_o top_n thereof_o as_o it_o be_v the_o lord_n and_o master_n

the_o sense_n of_o smell_v neither_o be_v it_o place_v so_o near_o the_o sense_n of_o taste_v without_o the_o great_a providence_n of_o god_n taste_v for_o there_o be_v many_o thing_n in_o nature_n which_o if_o they_o be_v taste_v only_o be_v deadly_a or_o at_o leastwise_o very_o dangerous_a and_o hurtful_a as_o appear_v chief_o in_o thing_n that_o be_v venomous_a and_o poisonful_a for_o this_o

they_o may_v more_o easy_o want_v it_o nevertheless_o god_n have_v give_v it_o they_o to_o the_o end_n it_o may_v be_v as_o it_o be_v a_o messenger_n to_o the_o taste_n to_o show_v what_o be_v good_a for_o it_o and_o what_o not_o and_o this_o chief_o for_o two_o reason_n the_o first_o be_v to_o keep_v man_n from_o hazard_v themselves_o through_o a_o immoderate_a desire_n to_o eat_v and_o drink_v before_o they_o have_v discern_v by_o the_o smell_n of_o such_o thing_n as_o be_v to_o be_v take_v whether_o they_o be_v profitable_a or_o hurtful_a for_o they_o the_o second_o reason_n be_v to_o

therefore_o this_o sense_n of_o smell_v be_v near_o conjoin_v and_o have_v great_a agreement_n with_o the_o sense_n of_o taste_v for_o this_o be_v a_o general_a rule_n that_o albeit_o every_o thing_n that_o smell_v well_o have_v not_o always_o a_o good_a taste_n yet_o whatsoever_o a_o man_n find_v good_a to_o his_o taste_n the_o same_o have_v also_o a_o good_a smell_n and_o contrariwise_o that_o which_o be_v find_v to_o have_v a_o ill_a relish_n the_o same_o have_v also_o the_o like_a smell_n for_o the_o taste_n and_o smell_n be_v give_v not_o only_o for_o profit_n but_o for_o pleasure_n

know_v not_o how_o to_o use_v they_o moderate_o for_o they_o be_v so_o subject_a to_o their_o pleasure_n sense_n that_o they_o can_v never_o keep_v measure_n in_o anything_o as_o we_o see_v by_o experience_n especial_o in_o these_o two_o sense_n of_o taste_n and_o smell_v for_o as_o the_o ordinary_a meat_n satisfy_v not_o the_o delicate_a appetite_n of_o man_n but_o they_o must_v have_v new_a

all_o the_o creature_n of_o god_n be_v good_a if_o they_o be_v use_v moderate_o and_o a_o they_o ought_v with_o thanksgiving_n hereof_o it_o be_v that_o they_o be_v ofte_v mention_v in_o scripture_n in_o the_o good_a part_n and_o not_o to_o seek_v far_o off_o for_o example_n 3._o we_o have_v the_o testimony_n of_o the_o holy_a euamgelist_n as_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n himself_o who_o be_v neither_o nice_a nor_o voluptuous_a but_o the_o perfect_a pattern_n of_o all_o sobriety_n and_o temperance_n do_v not_o reject_v nor_o condemn_v precious_a ointment_n and_o sweet_a odour_n but_o sometime_o permit_v the_o use_n of_o they_o upon_o his_o own_o person_n odour_n moreover_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o the_o animal_n spirit_n in_o the_o brain_n be_v great_o relieve_v and_o recreate_v by_o those_o good_a and_o natural_a smell_n that_o be_v convey_v unto_o they_o by_o mean_n of_o the_o nose_n and_o of_o the_o sense_n of_o smell_v place_v therein_o as_o contrariwise_o they_o be_v

subtle_a pure_a and_o very_o neat_a so_o that_o sweet_a smell_n be_v good_a for_o they_o and_o stink_a savour_n contrary_a unto_o they_o to_o this_o end_n therefore_o that_o the_o brain_n may_v receive_v this_o benefit_n of_o good_a odour_n nose_n god_n have_v place_v both_o the_o sense_n and_o instrument_n of_o smell_v so_o near_o unto_o it_o the_o instrument_n to_o keep_v and_o convey_v odour_n unto_o it_o the_o sense_n to_o discern_v and_o judge_v of_o they_o therefore_o this_o sense_n of_o smell_v have_v some_o agreement_n both_o with_o the_o fire_n and_o with_o thick_a air_n because_o smell_n be_v stir_v up_o by_o heat_n as_o smoke_n be_v by_o fire_n which_o be_v after_o carry_v by_o mean_n of_o the_o air_n unto_o the_o sense_n and_o receive_v and_o keep_v by_o the_o

therefore_o god_n have_v create_v it_o not_o only_o to_o serve_v the_o sense_n of_o smell_v but_o also_o for_o respiration_n that_o it_o shall_v be_v the_o principal_a pipe_n and_o passage_n by_o which_o both_o the_o brain_n and_o lung_n may_v draw_v in_o or_o let_v out_o breathe_v as_o need_n require_v for_o this_o cause_n the_o brain_n do_v stretch_v out_o and_o restrain_v itself_o and_o

for_o these_o good_n be_v good_n rather_o in_o opinion_n then_o in_o truth_n but_o because_o fancy_v propound_v they_o unto_o herself_o for_o good_n therefore_o she_o take_v pleasure_n and_o delight_n

to_o consider_v of_o touch_v this_o point_n the_o first_o be_v that_o if_o man_n have_v not_o sin_v after_o that_o god_n by_o creation_n have_v in_o great_a largesse_n make_v he_o partaker_n of_o

our_o first_o parent_n have_v transgress_v the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n by_o eat_v of_o the_o forbid_a fruit_n they_o know_v that_o they_o be_v naked_a and_o cover_v themselves_o with_o leaf_n and_o for_o a_o punishment_n of_o their_o offence_n it_o be_v say_v unto_o they_o 19_o that_o they_o shall_v eat_v their_o bread_n in_o the_o sweat_n of_o their_o face_n under_o which_o word_n of_o bread_n be_v comprehend_v all_o thing_n whereof_o they_o stand_v in_o need_n for_o the_o maintenance_n &_o preservation_n of_o their_o life_n as_o we_o understand_v it_o in_o that_o prayer_n which_o we_o daily_o make_v to_o god_n when_o we_o demand_v of_o he_o our_o daily_a bread_n point_n the_o second_o point_n which_o we_o ought_v to_o note_v in_o this_o matter_n touch_v the_o nakedness_n of_o man_n be_v this_o that_o god_n will_v admonish_v he_o not_o only_o by_o the_o whole_a frame_n and_o composition_n of_o his_o body_n and_o of_o all_o his_o member_n but_o also_o by_o his_o very_a skin_n

create_v he_o with_o natural_a weapon_n as_o he_o do_v other_o live_a creature_n unto_o who_o he_o give_v all_o thing_n necessary_a for_o their_o defence_n &_o preservation_n for_o some_o of_o they_o have_v strength_n and_o weapon_n by_o nature_n to_o resist_v their_o enemy_n other_o want_v this_o have_v swiftness_n to_o convey_v themselves_o out_o of_o all_o danger_n and_o some_o want_v both_o these_o have_v yet_o subtlety_n &_o place_n of_o refuge_n to_o defend_v themselves_o withal_o as_o for_o man_n god_n have_v place_v he_o in_o this_o world_n unarm_v and_o naked_a so_o that_o if_o man_n be_v dispose_v to_o hurt_v and_o to_o war_v one_o upon_o another_o himself_o they_o must_v deform_v themselves_o and_o borowe_n weapon_n from_o other_o whereby_o they_o transform_v themselves_o &_o become_v monstrous_a as_o though_o they_o be_v transfigure_v into_o savage_a beast_n &_o into_o monster_n for_o they_o have_v not_o as_o have_v be_v say_v hard_a &_o strong_a hide_n as_o some_o

feign_a kind_n of_o speech_n their_o meaning_n be_v rather_o to_o withdraw_v man_n from_o beastly_a affection_n unworthy_a their_o nature_n and_o thereby_o to_o paint_v out_o and_o to_o express_v the_o diversity_n of_o those_o affection_n and_o to_o set_v they_o as_o it_o be_v before_o their_o eye_n thereby_o to_o declare_v unto_o they_o how_o by_o reason_n of_o their_o unruly_a affection_n they_o resemble_v all_o other_o creature_n and_o chief_o brute_n beast_n wherefore_o we_o may_v with_o good_a reason_n call_v man_n a_o little_a world_n if_o there_o be_v no_o other_o cause_n but_o this_o albeit_o in_o this_o respect_n it_o stand_v not_o with_o his_o honour_n and_o credit_n for_o there_o be_v no_o kind_n of_o beast_n whatsoever_o nor_o yet_o of_o any_o other_o creature_n unto_o which_o he_o do_v not_o in_o some_o sort_n transform_v himself_o by_o his_o affection_n and_o by_o his_o manner_n and_o vice_n for_o when_o he_o please_v he_o transform_v himself_o one_o while_n

from_o the_o other_o and_o as_o he_o can_v at_o his_o pleasure_n transform_v himself_o into_o a_o angel_n so_o do_v he_o likewise_o turn_v himself_o into_o a_o devil_n monster_n it_o be_v not_o then_o altogether_o void_a of_o reason_n that_o plato_n say_v that_o the_o nature_n of_o man_n be_v as_o it_o be_v a_o monstrous_a nature_n yea_o he_o compare_v it_o to_o a_o monster_n who_o uppermost_a

part_n to_o a_o virgin_n because_o he_o place_v reason_n in_o the_o head_n as_o in_o the_o proper_a seat_n thereof_o and_o of_o the_o animal_n power_n of_o the_o soul_n for_o their_o nature_n and_o office_n sake_n next_o he_o say_v that_o the_o breast_n resemble_v a_o lion_n because_o he_o take_v the_o heart_n to_o be_v the_o seat_n of_o the_o vital_a power_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o also_o of_o the_o affection_n that_o often_o may_v well_o be_v liken_v to_o a_o lion_n and_o to_o furious_a beast_n last_o he_o compare_v the_o low_a part_n to_o dog_n because_o that_o part_n be_v appoint_v to_o be_v the_o seat_n of_o the_o natural_a and_o nourish_a power_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o of_o the_o generative_a virtue_n as_o that_o which_o be_v very_o brutish_a and_o give_v to_o all_o carnal_a

have_v affection_n hold_v of_o their_o nature_n this_o also_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n so_o often_o compare_v man_n to_o sundry_a sort_n of_o beast_n to_o teach_v we_o that_o they_o be_v as_o it_o be_v transform_v into_o they_o and_o into_o hideous_a and_o horrible_a monster_n to_o the_o end_n they_o may_v be_v the_o more_o ashamed_a of_o themselves_o and_o that_o know_v how_o they_o turn_v themselves_o into_o beast_n and_o into_o devil_n by_o their_o vice_n they_o shall_v learn_v also_o how_o contrariwise_o through_o virtue_n they_o become_v man_n of_o beast_n and_o angel_n of_o devil_n therefore_o it_o be_v very_o like_a that_o pythagoras_n and_o plato_n have_v respect_n to_o this_o which_o have_v be_v say_v in_o those_o

moreover_o he_o teach_v we_o this_o very_o plain_o when_o he_o say_v that_o god_n create_v man_n after_o his_o own_o image_n and_o similitude_n which_o he_o do_v not_o say_v of_o beast_n as_o we_o have_v already_o hear_v therefore_o there_o must_v needs_o be_v in_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n some_o other_o power_n and_o virtue_n then_o that_o by_o which_o it_o give_v life_n to_o the_o body_n and_o

notwithstanding_o we_o will_v here_o propound_v the_o opinion_n of_o some_o learned_a man_n ground_v upon_o that_o order_n soul_n which_o god_n have_v accustom_v to_o observe_v in_o his_o work_n and_o
