the_o greek_a i_o will_v not_o here_o produce_v example_n of_o other_o as_o of_o laurenber_n gius_n and_o alstedius_n who_o commend_v five_o sort_n of_o thing_n to_o be_v know_v to_o he_o that_o

and_o this_o be_v the_o first_o reason_n why_o we_o call_v it_o not_o simple_o wisdom_n but_o wisdom_n general_a for_o all_o man_n concern_v the_o object_n of_o wisdom_n it_o have_v hitherto_o for_o

of_o common_a truth_n and_o again_o in_o philosophy_n one_o choose_v this_o part_n another_o that_o to_o busy_v their_o thought_n about_o not_o so_o much_o as_o come_n near_o the_o threshold_n where_o the_o other_o dwell_v whence_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o most_o man_n knowledge_n be_v but_o particular_a yea_o and_o partial_a too_o which_o be_v far_o worse_o for_o they_o must_v needs_o

their_o coherence_n one_o with_o another_o neither_o can_v he_o comprehend_v the_o full_a truth_n of_o thing_n who_o observe_v not_o how_o truth_n still_o retain_v its_o own_o form_n in_o its_o infinite_a diffusion_n we_o wish_v therefore_o that_o the_o whole_a orb_n of_o thing_n and_o humane_a knowledge_n be_v take_v the_o true_a centre_n of_o essence_n may_v be_v find_v by_o a_o exact_a

oner_o acquaint_v with_o it_o when_o we_o meet_v it_o concrete_a in_o particular_a thing_n and_o hence_o may_v easy_o be_v gather_v how_o little_a that_o divorce_v of_o divinity_n from_o philosophy_n and_o of_o philosophy_n from_o divinity_n which_o be_v every_o where_o to_o be_v find_v like_v we_o for_o divine_n for_o the_o most_o part_n think_v it_o their_o duty_n to_o intend_v nothing_o but_o

to_o pass_v that_o many_o philosopher_n through_o disuse_n of_o god_n and_o religion_n fall_v into_o mere_a atheism_n again_o some_o divine_n loath_a and_o detest_v philosophy_n which_o be_v very_o injurious_a as_o the_o other_o be_v horrible_o impious_a for_o god_n who_o be_v the_o author_n as_o well_o of_o his_o work_n as_o of_o his_o word_n will_v as_o he_o may_v well_o be_v be_v

that_o he_o may_v prepare_v we_o for_o that_o which_o be_v to_o come_v therefore_o he_o do_v not_o only_o enjoin_v we_o to_o hearken_v to_o his_o voice_n but_o also_o to_o behold_v his_o work_n that_o we_o may_v therefore_o reconcile_v philosophy_n to_o divinity_n that_o be_v god_n work_n to_o his_o word_n or_o truth_n impress_v in_o thing_n to_o truth_n express_v in_o word_n and_o so_o may_v

which_o be_v pansophie_n for_o this_o will_v be_v our_o perfect_a wisdom_n to_o be_v wise_a for_o the_o life_n to_o come_v and_o to_o avoid_v folly_n here_o to_o have_v a_o eye_n to_o god_n and_o the_o life_n to_o come_v and_o yet_o to_o observe_v how_o we_o be_v here_o encircle_v with_o his_o majesty_n diffuse_v over_o all_o but_o some_o may_v say_v and_o some_o have_v already_o vent_v such_o

even_o in_o face_n of_o the_o mind_n and_o what_o then_o can_v it_o behold_v but_o monster_n in_o stead_n of_o thing_n themselves_o again_o it_o be_v impossible_a to_o find_v any_o method_n parallel_v

but_o even_o now_o of_o many_o sort_n of_o philosophy_n which_o be_v devise_v at_o pleasure_n and_o short_o after_o demolish_v by_o other_o and_o we_o may_v say_v the_o same_o of_o many_o decree_n yea_o and_o whole_a method_n of_o divinity_n that_o they_o may_v be_v build_v and_o pull_v down_o again_o see_v they_o be_v not_o square_v by_o the_o immutable_a rule_n of_o thing_n but_o by_o the_o leaden_a rule_n of_o this_o or_o that_o noddle_n i_o wish_v therefore_o that_o all_o these_o straggle_a method_n fancy_v by_o luxuriant_a brain_n may_v be_v quite_o remove_v out_o of_o the_o way_n that_o at_o last_o all_o thing_n may_v be_v handle_v in_o one_o order_n and_o method_n for_o such_o be_v our_o christian_a philosophy_n or_o rather_o pansophy_n which_o we_o labour_v to_o promote_v that_o therein_o all_o thing_n arise_v out_o of_o unmoveable_a principle_n unto_o unmoveable_a and_o stable_a truth_n so_o knit_v and_o clasp_v one_o another_o with_o the_o arm_n of_o their_o perpetual_a harmony_n that_o this_o work_n of_o the_o mind_n be_v as_o little_a subject_n to_o fall_v in_o sunder_o as_o the_o world_n itself_o so_o that_o as_o the_o world_n be_v not_o order_v at_o our_o discretion_n but_o proceed_v on_o immutable_o according_a to_o the_o law_n implant_v in_o it_o in_o like_a manner_n pansophy_n which_o be_v nothing_o but_o the_o glass_n or_o mirror_n of_o the_o universe_n shall_v be_v deliver_v in_o such_o a_o method_n from_o which_o there_o be_v no_o start_v aside_o if_o a_o man_n will_v even_o burst_v himself_o with_o desire_n of_o change_n or_o disagreement_n which_o will_v be_v effect_v if_o all_o thing_n be_v deliver_v demonstrative_o by_o their_o proper_a cause_n and_o effect_n but_o hereto_o it_o will_v be_v requisite_a not_o to_o trust_v to_o external_a testimony_n and_o tradition_n but_o to_o the_o inward_a truth_n of_o thing_n themselves_o for_o authority_n may_v as_o easy_o cast_v false_a colour_n over_o thing_n as_o yield_v they_o any_o light_n or_o illustration_n at_o least_o they_o do_v distract_v the_o learner_n and_o estrange_v his_o mind_n from_o the_o thing_n unto_o themselves_o but_o thing_n themselves_o can_v make_v another_o manner_n of_o impression_n in_o the_o sense_n then_o as_o indeed_o they_o be_v and_o wheresoever_o sense_n be_v deficient_a there_o reason_n furnish_v with_o its_o certain_a rule_n must_v also_o act_v its_o part_n but_o when_o reason_n be_v a_o stand_n we_o must_v then_o have_v recourse_n unto_o divine_a revelation_n which_o three_o principle_n of_o knowledge_n be_v to_o be_v lay_v as_o the_o basis_n and_o groundwork_n of_o pansophy_n that_o the_o speech_n and_o write_n which_o philosopher_n or_o divine_n have_v vent_v forth_o may_v not_o present_o be_v hold_v for_o oracle_n but_o that_o reject_v all_o false_a spectacle_n we_o may_v look_v near_o unto_o thing_n themselves_o and_o by_o a_o diligent-search_a discover_v what_o they_o will_v own_v themselves_o to_o be_v for_o wise_a and_o able_a man_n have_v many_o time_n utter_v such_o thing_n as_o sound_v of_o levity_n and_o vanity_n which_o notwithstanding_o men-admirer_n admit_v promiscuous_o and_o adore_v it_o be_v easy_a enough_o to_o produce_v many_o example_n hereof_o but_o i_o forbear_v hope_v that_o when_o once_o a_o clear_a light_n of_o truth_n be_v kindle_v abundance_n of_o such_o thing_n will_v lie_v open_a of_o themselves_o 3._o the_o three_o thing_n whereby_o truth_n be_v prejudice_v be_v as_o i_o say_v either_o the_o carelessness_n or_o luxuriance_n of_o the_o stile_n wherein_o thing_n

carelessness_n of_o stile_n be_v when_o obscure_a word_n be_v use_v or_o term_n borrow_v from_o a_o language_n which_o be_v not_o understand_v such_o as_o greek_a word_n be_v to_o the_o most_o part_n of_o man_n or_o last_o if_o such_o thing_n as_o be_v not_o stable_a truth_n be_v set_v to_o sale_n as_o the_o rule_n of_o truth_n of_o which_o sort_n we_o must_v needs_o confess_v though_o it_o be_v shameful_a to_o speak_v the_o book_n of_o philosopher_n and_o divine_n be_v too_o full_a i_o may_v therefore_o bold_o affirm_v that_o the_o original_n and_o continual_a cause_n of_o error_n in_o learning_n be_v that_o unhappy_a triplicity_n whereof_o i_o have_v speak_v i_o mean_v that_o divers_a sunder_a that_o divers_a transplace_n and_o change_v and_o last_o that_o divers_a mould_v and_o

and_o while_o their_o series_n or_o order_n be_v not_o due_o observe_v it_o be_v easy_a to_o find_v a_o labyrinth_n than_o a_o guide_a path_n and_o truth_n be_v very_o ready_a to_o glide_v away_o while_o the_o eye_n be_v bewitch_v with_o the_o false_a colour_n of_o their_o object_n hence_o be_v the_o offspring_n of_o those_o infinite_a error_n and_o hence_o come_v that_o fastidious_a
