which_o be_v in_o the_o body_n of_o every_o animal_n will_v consider_v this_o body_n as_o a_o fabric_n which_o have_v be_v make_v by_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n be_v incomparable_o better_a order_v and_o have_v more_o admirable_a motion_n in_o it_o then_o any_o of_o those_o which_o can_v be_v invent_v by_o man_n and_o herein_o i_o particular_o insist_v to_o make_v it_o appear_v that_o if_o there_o be_v such_o machine_n which_o have_v organ_n and_o the_o exterior_a figure_n of_o a_o ape_n or_o of_o any_o other_o unreasonable_a creature_n we_o shall_v find_v no_o mean_n of_o know_v they_o

machine_n may_v be_v so_o make_v that_o it_o may_v utter_v word_n and_o even_o some_o proper_a to_o the_o corporal_a action_n which_o may_v cause_v some_o change_n in_o its_o organ_n as_o if_o we_o touch_v it_o in_o some_o part_n and_o it_o shall_v ask_v what_o we_o will_v say_v or_o so_o as_o it_o may_v cry_v out_o that_o one_o hurt_v it_o and_o the_o like_a but_o not_o that_o they_o can_v diversify_v they_o to_o answer_v sensible_o to_o all_o what_o shall_v be_v speak_v in_o its_o presence_n as_o the_o dull_a man_n may_v do_v and_o the_o second_o be_v that_o although_o they_o do_v divers_a thing_n aswell_o or_o perhaps_o better_a than_o any_o of_o we_o they_o must_v infallible_o fail_v in_o some_o other_o whereby_o we_o may_v discover_v that_o they_o act_n not_o with_o knowledge_n but_o only_o by_o the_o disposition_n of_o their_o organ_n for_o whereas_o reason_n be_v a_o universal_a instrument_n which_o may_v serve_v in_o all_o kind_n of_o encounter_n these_o organ_n have_v need_n of_o some_o particular_a disposition_n for_o every_o particular_a action_n whence_o it_o be_v that_o its_o moral_o impossible_a for_o one_o machine_n to_o have_v several_a organ_n enough_o to_o make_v it_o move_v in_o all_o the_o occurrence_n of_o this_o life_n in_o the_o same_o manner_n as_o our_o reason_n make_v we_o move_v now_o by_o these_o two_o mean_n we_o may_v also_o know_v the_o difference_n which_o be_v between_o man_n and_o beast_n for_o it_o be_v a_o very_a remarkable_a thing_n that_o there_o be_v no_o man_n so_o dull_a and_o so_o stupid_a without_o
