be_v annihilate_v and_o generate_v anew_o if_o they_o answer_v not_o i_o be_o of_o their_o opinion_n but_o if_o they_o say_v they_o be_v annihilate_v and_o generate_v anew_o then_o i_o will_v fain_o know_v who_o be_v their_o generator_n and_o annihilator_fw-la for_o nothing_o can_v generate_v and_o annihilate_v itself_o and_o if_o they_o say_v god_n i_o answer_v it_o be_v not_o probable_a that_o god_n shall_v have_v make_v any_o thing_n imperfect_a especial_o in_o the_o production_n of_o nature_n for_o if_o there_o be_v thing_n create_v anew_o which_o never_o be_v before_o in_o nature_n it_o argue_v that_o nature_n be_v not_o perfect_a at_o first_o because_o of_o a_o new_a addition_n of_o so_o many_o creature_n or_o if_o any_o thing_n can_v be_v annihilate_v in_o nature_n it_o will_v likewise_o argue_v a_o imperfection_n in_o nature_n viz._n that_o nature_n be_v perfect_a before_o those_o thing_n be_v annihilate_v and_o thus_o it_o will_v infer_v as_o if_o god_n have_v not_o power_n either_o to_o have_v make_v nature_n perfect_a at_o first_o or_o that_o god_n want_v work_v and_o be_v force_v to_o create_v and_o annihilate_v every_o moment_n for_o certain_o the_o work_n of_o creation_n and_o annihilation_n be_v a_o divine_a action_n and_o belong_v only_o to_o god_n last_o concern_v the_o function_n and_o office_n which_o the_o animal_n spirit_n perform_v in_o

of_o the_o body_n and_o their_o return_n to_o the_o brain_n i_o have_v declare_v my_o opinion_n thereof_o twelve_o year_n since_o in_o my_o work_n of_o poetical_a fancy_n which_o then_o come_v out_o the_o first_o time_n and_o i_o think_v it_o not_o unfit_a to_o insert_v here_o out_o of_o the_o same_o book_n these_o follow_a line_n both_o that_o my_o meaning_n may_v be_v the_o better_o

small_a yet_o they_o such_o matter_n do_v contain_v as_o in_o the_o skull_n do_v lie_v which_o we_o call_v brain_n which_o make_v if_o any_o one_o do_v strike_v the_o heel_n that_o sense_n we_o quick_o in_o the_o brain_n do_v feel_v it_o be_v not_o sympathy_n but_o all_o one_o thing_n which_o cause_v we_o to_o think_v and_o pain_n do_v bring_v for_o have_v the_o heel_n such_o quantity_n of_o

like_o to_o the_o sea_n turn_v round_o from_o two_o great_a artery_n it_o do_v begin_v run_v through_o all_o vein_n and_o so_o come_v back_o again_o the_o muscle_n like_o the_o tide_n do_v ebb_n and_o flow_v according_a as_o the_o several_a spirit_n go_v the_o sinew_n as_o small_a pipe_n come_v from_o the_o head_n and_o they_o be_v all_o about_o the_o body_n spread_v through_o which_o the_o animal_n spirit_n be_v convey_v to_o every_o member_n as_o the_o pipe_n be_v lay_v and_o from_o those_o sinew-pipe_n each_o sense_n do_v take_v of_o those_o pure_a spirit_n as_o they_o we_o do_v make_v 9_o of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o sceptic_n concern_v the_o knowledge_n of_o nature_n when_o sceptic_n endeavour_v to_o prove_v that_o not_o any_o thing_n in_o nature_n can_v be_v true_o and_o thorough_o know_v they_o be_v in_o my_o opinion_n in_o the_o right_a way_n as_o far_o as_o their_o meaning_n be_v that_o not_o any_o particular_a creature_n can_v know_v the_o infinite_a part_n of_o nature_n for_o nature_n have_v both_o a_o divideable_a and_o composeable_a sense_n and_o reason_n cause_v ignorance_n as_o well_o as_o knowledge_n among_o particular_n but_o if_o their_o opinion_n be_v that_o there_o be_v no_o true_a knowledge_n at_o all_o find_v among_o the_o part_n of_o nature_n then_o sure_o their_o doctrine_n be_v not_o only_o unprofitable_a but_o dangerous_a as_o endeavour_v to_o overthrow_v all_o useful_a and_o profitable_a knowledge_n the_o truth_n be_v that_o nature_n be_v not_o only_o divideable_a but_o also_o composeable_a in_o her_o part_n it_o can_v be_v absolute_o affirm_v that_o there_o be_v either_o a_o total_a ignorance_n or_o a_o universal_a knowledge_n in_o nature_n so_o as_o one_o finite_a part_n shall_v know_v perfect_o all_o other_o part_n of_o nature_n but_o as_o there_o be_v a_o ignorance_n among_o particular_n cause_v by_o the_o division_n of_o nature_n part_n so_o there_o be_v also_o a_o knowledge_n among_o they_o cause_v by_o the_o composition_n and_o union_n of_o her_o part_n neither_o can_v any_o ignorance_n be_v attribute_v to_o infinite_a nature_n by_o reason_n she_o be_v a_o body_n comprehend_v so_o many_o part_n of_o her_o own_o in_o a_o firm_a bond_n and_o indissoluble_a union_n so_o as_o no_o part_n can_v separate_v itself_o from_o she_o must_v of_o necessity_n have_v also_o a_o infinite_a wisdom_n and_o knowledge_n to_o govern_v her_o infinite_a part_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v best_o in_o my_o judgement_n for_o sceptic_n and_o dogmatist_n to_o agree_v in_o their_o different_a opinion_n and_o whereas_o now_o they_o express_v their_o wit_n by_o division_n to_o show_v their_o wisdom_n by_o composition_n for_o thus_o they_o will_v make_v a_o harmonious_a consort_n and_o union_n in_o the_o truth_n of_o nature_n where_o otherwise_o their_o disagreement_n will_v cause_v perpetual_a quarrel_n and_o dispute_n both_o in_o divinity_n and_o philosophy_n to_o the_o prejudice_n and_o ruin_n of_o church_n and_o school_n which_o disagreement_n proceed_v mere_o from_o self-love_n for_o every_o man_n be_v a_o part_n of_o nature_n which_o be_v self-loving_a as_o well_o as_o self-moving_a will_v fain_o be_v at_o least_o appear_v wise_a than_o his_o fellow-creature_n but_o the_o omnipotent_a creator_n have_v order_v nature_n so_o wise_o as_o to_o divide_v not_o only_o her_o power_n but_o also_o her_o wisdom_n into_o part_n which_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o she_o be_v not_o omnipotent_a be_v divideable_a and_o composeable_a when_o as_o god_n can_v neither_o be_v divide_v nor_o compose_v but_o be_v one_o simple_a and_o individual_a incomprehensible_a be_v without_o any_o composition_n of_o part_n for_o god_n be_v not_o material_a 10._o of_o natural_a sense_n and_o reason_n those_o author_n which_o confess_v that_o vulgar_a reason_n be_v no_o better_a than_o a_o more_o refine_a imagination_n and_o that_o both_o reason_n fancy_n and_o the_o sense_n be_v influence_v by_o the_o body_n temperament_n and_o like_o the_o index_n of_o a_o clock_n be_v move_v by_o the_o inward_a spring_n and_o wheel_n of_o the_o corporeal_a machine_n seem_v in_o my_o opinion_n to_o confirm_v that_o natural_a sense_n and_o reason_n be_v corporeal_a although_o they_o do_v it_o in_o a_o obscure_a way_n and_o with_o intricate_a argument_n but_o true_o do_v what_o they_o can_v yet_o they_o must_v prove_v reason_n by_o reason_n for_o irrational_a discourse_n can_v make_v proof_n and_o argument_n to_o evince_v the_o truth_n of_o nature_n but_o first_o it_o must_v be_v prove_v what_o sense_n and_o reason_n be_v whether_o divine_a or_o natural_a corporeal_a or_o immaterial_a those_o that_o believe_v natural_a sense_n and_o reason_n to_o be_v immaterial_a be_v in_o my_o opinion_n in_o a_o great_a error_n because_o nature_n be_v pure_o corporeal_a as_o i_o have_v declare_v before_o and_o those_o which_o affirm_v that_o our_o understanding_n will_n and_o reason_n be_v in_o some_o manner_n like_a to_o god_n shall_v never_o gain_v my_o assent_n for_o if_o there_o be_v so_o great_a a_o difference_n between_o god_n understanding_n will_n and_o decree_n and_o between_o nature_n as_o no_o comparison_n at_o all_o can_v be_v make_v betwixt_o they_o much_o more_o be_v there_o between_o a_o part_n of_o nature_n viz._n man_n and_o the_o omnipotent_a and_o
