remember_a faculty_n whether_o they_o have_v a_o kind_n of_o discursive_a faculty_n which_o some_o call_v reason_n whether_o they_o do_v prescind_n or_o abstract_n touch_v their_o voice_n how_o far_o

and_o pity_n in_o our_o heart_n almost_o as_o plain_o as_o we_o find_v ourselves_o see_v with_o our_o eye_n or_o hear_v with_o our_o ear_n i_o feel_v the_o propension_n and_o inclination_n of_o my_o

the_o motion_n of_o my_o mind_n be_v no_o way_n mechanical_a though_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o muscle_n be_v such_o i_o move_v ride_v run_v or_o speak_v because_o i_o will_v do_v it_o without_o any_o

have_v reason_n to_o conclude_v that_o these_o in_o their_o principle_n be_v not_o simple_o mechanical_a although_o a_o mousetrap_n or_o architas_n his_o dove_n move_v mechanical_o from_o a_o artificial_a principle_n and_o because_o i_o find_v that_o the_o remote_a muscle_n in_o my_o body_n move_v at_o the_o command_n of_o my_o will_n and_o since_o i_o see_v the_o energy_n of_o my_o soul_n in_o every_o particle_n of_o my_o body_n though_o not_o use_v intellectual_a action_n in_o every_o part_n yet_o use_v some_o that_o be_v imperate_a as_o local_a motion_n some_o that_o be_v natural_a and_o involuntary_a as_o the_o pulse_n of_o my_o heart_n the_o circulation_n of_o my_o blood_n my_o digestion_n sanguification_n distribution_n augmentation_n and_o because_o at_o the_o same_o time_n i_o understand_v consider_v determine_v speak_v walk_v digest_v and_o exercise_n as_o well_o intelectual_a imperate_a and_o involuntary_a action_n and_o all_o from_o the_o same_o vital_a principle_n though_o operate_a different_o in_o several_a faculty_n and_o operation_n i_o therefore_o experimental_o feel_v that_o my_o soul_n though_o it_o have_v the_o residence_n of_o the_o exercise_n of_o his_o noble_a faculty_n in_o my_o head_n and_o heart_n yet_o it_o pervade_v my_o whole_a body_n and_o exercise_v vital_a office_n proportionate_a to_o the_o exigence_n or_o use_v of_o every_o part_n the_o flesh_n the_o bone_n the_o blood_n the_o spirit_n nerve_n vein_n artery_n seminal_a part_n and_o this_o i_o feel_v to_o be_v through_o my_o whole_a body_n and_o if_o i_o find_v any_o part_n of_o my_o body_n be_v so_o mortify_v as_o it_o become_v like_o a_o rot_a branch_n of_o a_o tree_n whether_o it_o be_v nerve_n or_o joint_n whereby_o that_o principle_n can_v communicate_v itself_o to_o it_o it_o putrify_v and_o corrupt_v and_o be_v not_o participant_a of_o the_o motion_n or_o influence_n derive_v from_o my_o soul_n because_o it_o be_v now_o no_o long_o in_o it_o to_o quicken_v it_o and_o as_o i_o find_v my_o whole_a body_n the_o province_n or_o territory_n of_o my_o soul_n in_o which_o it_o universal_o act_n according_a to_o the_o different_a organization_n and_o use_n of_o every_o part_n so_o i_o find_v that_o my_o soul_n as_o to_o its_o substantial_a existence_n be_v confine_v within_o the_o precint_n of_o it_o and_o do_v not_o physical_o act_v without_o it_o and_o by_o all_o this_o i_o learn_v that_o my_o soul_n if_o it_o be_v a_o spirit_n may_v be_v circumscribe_v within_o the_o compass_n of_o a_o determinate_a space_n that_o though_o it_o be_v a_o spirit_n yet_o its_o operation_n while_o it_o be_v in_o the_o body_n may_v be_v if_o not_o altogether_o yet_o in_o a_o great_a measure_n organical_a i_o understand_v remember_v and_o reason_n better_o in_o

though_o it_o be_v a_o spirit_n yet_o i_o find_v it_o be_v no_o inconvenience_n to_o have_v some_o analogy_n at_o least_o of_o co-extension_n with_o my_o body_n and_o although_o it_o may_v be_v a_o simple_a spirit_n and_o univocal_o and_o essential_o the_o same_o as_o well_o in_o my_o toe_n as_o my_o head_n yet_o according_a to_o the_o variety_n of_o the_o disposition_n and_o organization_n of_o the_o several_a part_n of_o my_o organical_a body_n it_o exercise_v variety_n of_o operation_n the_o same_o soul_n that_o understand_v in_o the_o brain_n and_o see_v in_o the_o eye_n and_o hear_v in_o the_o ear_n neither_o understand_v nor_o see_v nor_o hear_v in_o the_o finger_n but_o move_v and_o feel_v these_o and_o many_o such_o perception_n i_o have_v touch_v that_o principle_n of_o life_n sense_n and_o intellection_n within_o i_o and_o of_o these_o i_o have_v as_o great_a a_o certainty_n as_o possible_o i_o can_v have_v of_o any_o thing_n in_o the_o world_n first_o although_o i_o can_v immediate_o have_v any_o immediate_a sight_n of_o my_o soul_n or_o of_o its_o immediate_a operation_n or_o internal_a act_n yet_o i_o sensible_o see_v and_o feel_v the_o effect_n thereof_o with_o as_o

remit_v the_o tongue_n speak_v the_o hand_n strike_v or_o move_v the_o foot_n walk_v the_o mouth_n open_v or_o shut_v and_o all_o those_o spontaneous_a motion_n subject_a to_o the_o empire_n of_o the_o will_v be_v perform_v and_o though_o i_o choose_v my_o instance_n in_o the_o subject_n in_o hand_n yet_o the_o like_a imperate_a motion_n be_v in_o brute_n and_o animal_n though_o not_o by_o the_o empire_n of_o will_n which_o they_o have_v not_o yet_o by_o a_o faculty_n that_o move_v in_o many_o thing_n spontaneous_o in_o some_o analogy_n and_o adumbration_n of_o the_o empire_n of_o the_o

involuntary_a sometime_o natural_a and_o they_o be_v very_o many_o and_o various_a such_o be_v many_o of_o the_o act_n of_o sense_n especial_o the_o external_a though_o i_o do_v by_o the_o empire_n of_o my_o will_n direct_v the_o motion_n or_o acies_fw-la of_o my_o organ_n to_o this_o or_o that_o object_n yet_o my_o eye_n my_o ear_n my_o touch_n my_o smell_n my_o taste_n exercise_v their_o

and_o use_v all_o that_o oeconomy_n that_o be_v proper_a for_o the_o expulsion_n or_o subdue_a of_o the_o former_a sometime_o by_o pustulae_fw-la or_o eruption_n in_o the_o flesh_n sometime_o by_o

rational_a decision_n of_o the_o understanding_n or_o empire_n of_o the_o will_n in_o relation_n to_o those_o natural_a motion_n i_o shall_v only_o therefore_o observe_v concern_v these_o involuntary_a motion_n 1._o that_o though_o they_o be_v without_o any_o dictamen_fw-la rationis_fw-la yet_o they_o be_v do_v in_o a_o way_n of_o as_o great_a congruity_n to_o its_o end_n as_o if_o

by_o the_o most_o wise_a god_n in_o this_o vital_a principle_n for_o the_o regiment_n of_o the_o body_n and_o therefore_o though_o it_o be_v not_o direct_v by_o deliberation_n of_o the_o humane_a

thing_n to_o be_v observe_v herein_o be_v that_o those_o natural_a and_o involuntary_a act_n be_v not_o do_v as_o the_o former_a by_o deliberation_n and_o formal_a command_n yet_o they_o be_v do_v

it_o be_v sever_v from_o the_o body_n and_o in_o chicken_n and_o other_o fowl_n after_o the_o separation_n of_o the_o head_n from_o the_o body_n there_o be_v a_o motion_n of_o the_o part_n divide_v yet_o it_o last_v not_o long_o and_o they_o be_v but_o the_o irregular_a and_o convulsive_a motion_n or_o struggle_n of_o those_o spirit_n which_o can_v not_o so_o hasty_o dismiss_v themselves_o from_o the_o vessel_n wherein_o they_o be_v enclose_v i_o will_v now_o observe_v some_o general_n in_o relation_n to_o this_o adumbration_n of_o providence_n and_o analogical_a oeconomy_n of_o the_o soul_n in_o the_o body_n which_o be_v these_o 1._o that_o this_o analogical_a providence_n of_o the_o soul_n in_o relation_n to_o its_o province_n the_o compositum_fw-la or_o microcosm_n be_v

the_o faculty_n of_o the_o humane_a soul_n to_o those_o principle_n and_o sentiment_n that_o as_o the_o eye_n discern_v light_a and_o colour_n by_o a_o congruity_n between_o the_o visive_a faculty_n

of_o the_o faculty_n to_o the_o object_n whereby_o the_o former_a discern_v truth_n from_o falsehood_n and_o moral_a good_a from_o moral_a evil_n honestum_fw-la &_o decorum_n from_o indecens_fw-la &_o

consistent_a with_o their_o connatural_a instinct_n which_o latter_a have_v still_o excellent_a use_n in_o the_o sentient_a province_n so_o this_o adaptation_n of_o the_o faculty_n in_o man_n to_o their_o object_n do_v not_o exclude_v those_o connatural_a implant_v rational_a instinct_n in_o the_o humane_a nature_n but_o both_o consist_v together_o and_o be_v of_o admirable_a use_n to_o the_o

revelation_n both_o to_o answer_v this_o enquiry_n and_o to_o guide_v we_o in_o it_o which_o in_o this_o place_n be_v not_o design_v to_o be_v prosecute_v 2._o yet_o more_o particular_o thus_o much_o i_o shall_v say_v 1._o that_o the_o wise_a god_n have_v as_o it_o be_v twist_v his_o own_o honour_n and_o glory_n with_o man_n felicity_n and_o happiness_n if_o man_n decline_v to_o honour_n glorify_v love_n and_o obey_v his_o maker_n and_o cast_v off_o the_o primary_n and_o chief_a end_n of_o his_o be_v it_o be_v just_a and_o necessary_a that_o he_o be_v deprive_v of_o the_o end_n of_o his_o own_o fruition_n and_o happiness_n which_o be_v the_o reward_n of_o his_o duty_n 2._o the_o liberty_n of_o the_o will_n be_v the_o great_a prerogative_n of_o the_o humane_a nature_n and_o almighty_a god_n have_v furnish_v that_o nature_n with_o all_o conducible_n to_o enable_v he_o to_o obey_v and_o to_o continue_v he_o in_o that_o obedience_n man_n by_o the_o abuse_n of_o his_o own_o liberty_n deprive_v himself_o of_o his_o own_o felicity_n when_o we_o speak_v therefore_o of_o the_o end_n of_o man_n we_o speak_v of_o it_o as_o god_n make_v he_o not_o as_o man_n make_v or_o rather_o unmake_v himself_o but_o of_o this_o end_n of_o the_o mean_n of_o his_o restitution_n by_o christ_n and_o the_o admirable_a system_n and_o connexion_n of_o the_o divine_a providence_n in_o relation_n to_o man_n in_o his_o redemption_n belong_v to_o another_o discourse_n we_o be_v in_o this_o precede_a discourse_n but_o in_o the_o outward_a court_n of_o the_o temple_n where_o the_o gentile_n come_v or_o may_v come_v by_o natural_a light_n or_o ratiocination_n therefore_o to_o conclude_v all_o almighty_a god_n out_o of_o his_o abundant_a wisdom_n goodness_n and_o beneficence_n as_o he_o have_v make_v mankind_n so_o he_o have_v fit_v he_o for_o a_o double_a end_n namely_o to_o glorify_v his_o maker_n and_o everlasting_o to_o enjoy_v he_o and_o in_o order_n hereunto_o have_v give_v he_o a_o double_a station_n and_o in_o each_o of_o these_o a_o differ_a kind_n of_o fruition_n of_o his_o maker_n viz._n a_o station_n in_o this_o low_a world_n and_o a_o station_n in_o the_o glorious_a heaven_n his_o station_n in_o this_o low_a world_n be_v during_o the_o time_n of_o his_o mortal_a life_n here_o below_o and_o in_o this_o station_n the_o glorious_a god_n have_v furnish_v mankind_n with_o all_o conveniencic_n and_o accommodation_n suitable_a to_o it_o as_o the_o comfortable_a accommodation_n of_o his_o sensible_a life_n the_o comfort_n of_o humane_a society_n the_o use_n and_o dominion_n of_o his_o creature_n the_o admirable_a faculty_n of_o his_o mind_n the_o book_n and_o instruction_n of_o his_o word_n and_o will_n the_o goodly_a work_n of_o creation_n and_o providence_n the_o

and_o many_o more_o such_o as_o these_o the_o bountiful_a god_n afford_v to_o mankind_n even_o in_o this_o state_n of_o mortality_n which_o may_v and_o do_v render_v it_o in_o a_o great_a measure_n very_o comfortable_a but_o withal_o he_o let_v we_o know_v and_o we_o must_v know_v that_o these_o be_v but_o as_o so_o many_o bounty_n to_o render_v our_o passage_n through_o this_o life_n the_o more_o easy_a and_o convenient_a to_o ourselves_o and_o the_o more_o serviceable_a to_o our_o great_a lord_n and_o master_n this_o be_v not_o to_o be_v the_o place_n of_o our_o rest_n or_o final_a
