of_o those_o charitable_a settlement_n which_o be_v design_v to_o promote_v and_o encourage_v learning_n 4._o and_o last_o i_o shall_v inquire_v what_o be_v the_o duty_n of_o all_o those_o who_o more_o immediate_o enjoy_v the_o benefit_n and_o advantage_n of_o such_o foundation_n first_o i_o be_o to_o show_v that_o it_o be_v upon_o several_a account_n more_o advisable_a for_o man_n of_o ability_n to_o dispose_v of_o what_o they_o intend_v for_o charitable_a use_v in_o their_o life_n time_n than_o to_o leave_v it_o to_o be_v manage_v by_o other_o after_o their_o death_n this_o proposition_n i_o hope_v to_o make_v good_a from_o the_o follow_a consideration_n 1._o that_o it_o be_v utter_o uncertain_a whether_o that_o which_o man_n of_o ability_n leave_v to_o the_o disposal_n of_o other_o be_v ever_o settle_v according_a to_o their_o original_a design_n and_o intent_n 2._o it_o be_v a_o great_a argument_n of_o a_o free_a and_o generous_a mind_n to_o dispose_v of_o what_o they_o design_v for_o charitable_a use_v while_o they_o live_v than_o to_o leave_v it_o to_o

encourage_v learning_n these_o i_o conceive_v excel_v other_o kind_n of_o charity_n in_o two_o respect_n 1._o because_o the_o benefit_n of_o they_o reach_v to_o the_o soul_n as_o well_o as_o to_o the_o body_n 2._o because_o the_o whole_a kingdom_n reap_v advantage_n by_o these_o whereas_o several_a other_o kind_n of_o charity_n terminate_v in_o particular_a person_n or_o in_o one_o body_n or_o society_n 1._o the_o benefit_n of_o those_o charitable_a settlement_n which_o be_v design_v to_o promote_v and_o encourage_v learning_n reach_v to_o the_o soul_n as_o well_o as_o the_o body_n to_o do_v good_a to_o our_o brethren_n in_o any_o respect_n or_o capacity_n be_v very_o commendable_a but_o since_o the_o soul_n be_v the_o better_a part_n of_o the_o man_n it_o be_v proportionable_o a_o more_o noble_a design_n to_o provide_v for_o that_o than_o for_o the_o body_n the_o want_n of_o the_o mind_n be_v most_o importunate_a and_o the_o necessity_n of_o the_o flesh_n may_v be_v better_o bear_v or_o more_o easy_o supply_v than_o those_o of_o the_o spirit_n hunger_n and_o nakedness_n be_v not_o of_o so_o fatal_a a_o consequence_n as_o ignorance_n and_o error_n and_o however_o mean_v the_o accommodation_n of_o the_o body_n be_v that_o the_o soul_n be_v without_o knowledge_n be_v not_o good_a it_o be_v better_a to_o be_v poor_a 2._o than_o unlearned_a this_o i_o suppose_v will_v look_v like_o a_o paradox_n but_o i_o true_o believe_v it_o be_v the_o opinion_n of_o the_o most_o eminent_a among_o the_o ancient_a philosopher_n who_o in_o a_o right_a sense_n despise_v dominion_n and_o slight_v dignity_n be_v chief_o careful_a about_o regulate_v and_o improve_n their_o intellectual_a faculty_n they_o know_v that_o to_o have_v their_o understanding_n clear_a and_o free_a from_o

will_v be_v useless_a to_o himself_o and_o a_o intolerable_a burden_n to_o all_o about_o he_o for_o sand_n and_o salt_n and_o a_o mass_n of_o iron_n be_v easy_a to_o bear_v than_o a_o man_n without_o

have_v make_v it_o a_o question_n whether_o they_o be_v more_o oblige_v to_o they_o from_o who_o they_o have_v their_o be_v than_o to_o those_o who_o give_v they_o their_o education_n other_o though_o
