they_o be_v in_o if_o they_o be_v absent_a the_o letter_n which_o remain_v after_o they_o be_v draw_v be_v more_o convenient_a for_o they_o because_o they_o can_v be_v carry_v where_o a_o voice_n

and_z and_z giving_z to_o understand_v his_o need_n he_o shall_v not_o name_v it_o aright_o man_n will_v not_o be_v want_v to_o tell_v he_o the_o right_a name_n of_o it_o so_o that_o he_o may_v by_o

that_o shall_v be_v find_v in_o all_o the_o answer_n near_a the_o name_n of_o every_o thing_n will_v signify_v that_o be_v call_v or_o name_v so_o that_o he_o will_v have_v no_o more_o to_o do_v but_o to_o repeat_v they_o for_o the_o make_n of_o new_a question_n when_o he_o shall_v have_v learn_v by_o this_o mean_v the_o name_n of_o many_o thing_n he_o may_v then_o according_a as_o those_o thing_n

that_o come_v near_o they_o by_o the_o external_a motion_n which_o be_v the_o natural_a sign_n of_o they_o they_o be_v somewhat_o long_o to_o understand_v the_o sign_n that_o man_n have_v institute_v to_o signify_v thing_n but_o the_o need_n they_o have_v of_o some_o of_o th●m_n render_v they_o so_o attentive_a to_o ●ll_o what_o be_v say_v of_o those_o thing_n when_o they_o perceive_v that_o they_o be_v touch_v or_o show_v by_o the_o hand_n that_o at_o length_n they_o learn_v the_o name_n of_o it_o it_o be_v true_a that_o ordinary_o we_o endeavour_v to_o excite_v in_o they_o some_o

less_o easy_o on_o the_o other_o hand_n their_o passion_n be_v not_o so_o prompt_a but_o for_o a_o recompense_n they_o retain_v long_o both_o thing_n and_o passion_n but_o it_o be_v easy_a to_o see_v that_o this_o latter_a sort_n be_v capable_a to_o speak_v when_o the_o business_n be_v only_o to_o instruct_v but_o if_o the_o spirit_n of_o man_n be_v to_o be_v manage_v and_o not_o to_o be_v

that_o he_o can_v be_v perfect_o eloquent_a unless_o he_o be_v so_o and_o this_o be_v not_o hard_a to_o conceive_v for_o if_o it_o be_v agree_v on_o that_o to_o be_v perfect_o eloquent_a a_o man_n

again_o it_o must_v be_v grant_v that_o if_o he_o that_o be_v not_o a_o honest_a man_n will_v excite_v in_o other_o the_o motion_n and_o passion_n which_o real_o be_v not_o in_o himself_o it_o will_v

to_o inspire_v the_o one_o but_o by_o the_o other_o this_o reflection_n make_v i_o think_v that_o as_o we_o can_v conceive_v spirit_n not_o unite_v to_o body_n if_o there_o be_v eloquence_n among_o they_o that_o can_v be_v by_o the_o mean_n of_o motion_n because_o they_o be_v not_o capable_a of_o they_o but_o suppose_v that_o those_o spirit_n be_v in_o that_o state_n of_o liberty_n wherein_o they_o can_v determine_v themselves_o to_o this_o or_o that_o thing_n it_o be_v easy_a to_o conceive_v that_o if_o one_o of_o they_o be_v more_o enlighten_v than_o other_o have_v a_o passion_n for_o a_o thing_n which_o a_o mere_a spirit_n be_v capable_a to_o have_v a_o passion_n for_o as_o for_o example_n for_o his_o own_o glory_n he_o may_v put_v his_o thought_n which_o he_o shall_v manifest_v to_o other_o upon_o that_o subject_n into_o a_o order_n which_o shall_v appear_v so_o excellent_a that_o it_o shall_v excite_v in_o some_o the_o same_o passion_n which_o he_o resent_v and_o on_o the_o other_o hand_n to_o keep_v to_o the_o same_o example_n a_o spirit_n yet_o more_o illuminate_v and_o better_o incline_v than_o the_o former_a may_v make_v those_o who_o may_v have_v fall_v into_o that_o error_n to_o conceive_v that_o whereas_o that_o glory_n can_v appertain_v to_o none_o but_o the_o sovereign_n power_n it_o be_v a_o folly_n for_o any_o one_o to_o pretend_v to_o it_o when_o he_o be_v not_o god_n it_o may_v after_o the_o same_o manner_n be_v conceive_v how_o mere_a spirit_n may_v inspire_v one_o another_o with_o divers_a sentiment_n touch_v all_o such_o thing_n for_o which_o they_o be_v capable_a to_o have_v passion_n suppose_v as_o have_v be_v say_v that_o they_o be_v in_o a_o state_n of_o choose_v one_o of_o two_o but_o to_o draw_v from_o this_o notion_n no_o more_o than_o may_v serve_v for_o my_o intent_n it_o be_v to_o be_v consider_v that_o if_o for_o speak_v a_o man_n needs_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o part_n that_o serve_v for_o the_o voice_n and_o if_o for_o hear_v there_o be_v need_n of_o the_o agitation_n of_o the_o part_n that_o serve_v for_o hear_v there_o need_v nothing_o between_o two_o spirit_n to_o communicate_v their_o thought_n to_o one_o another_o but_o to_o will_v it_o and_o since_o we_o find_v that_o the_o thought_n of_o one_o man_n be_v easy_o understand_v by_o another_o from_o the_o time_n that_o the_o first_o have_v speak_v that_o be_v from_o the_o time_n that_o by_o the_o motion_n which_o serve_v to_o beat_v the_o air_n he_o have_v move_v the_o ear_n of_o he_o to_o who_o he_o will_v have_v his_o thought_n know_v it_o be_v also_o easy_a to_o apprehend_v that_o if_o two_o spirit_n who_o depend_v not_o from_o the_o body_n in_o their_o operation_n will_v discover_v to_o one_o another_o their_o thought_n they_o have_v nothing_o to_o do_v but_o to_o will_v it_o there_o be_v i_o think_v much_o less_o difficulty_n to_o conceiv_v the_o one_o than_o the_o other_o as_o i_o have_v already_o observe_v for_o in_o speech_n there_o be_v two_o thing_n viz._n the_o will_n to_o communicate_v one_o thought_n and_o the_o motion_n by_o which_o they_o be_v communicate_v but_o those_o motion_n have_v so_o little_a affinity_n in_o themselves_o to_o the_o thought_n that_o it_o seem_v very_o strange_a how_o a_o thought_n can_v be_v so_o well_o unite_v to_o a_o motion_n as_o that_o the_o one_o shall_v be_v a_o occasion_n to_o know_v the_o other_o whereas_o in_o the_o manifestation_n which_o two_o spirit_n make_v to_o one_o another_o of_o their_o thought_n there_o need_v nothing_o but_o the_o will_v to_o communicate_v they_o and_o spirit_n be_v of_o one_o and_o the_o same_o nature_n it_o be_v evident_a that_o one_o thought_n may_v much_o easy_o be_v the_o occasion_n of_o another_o thought_n than_o motion_n but_o next_o what_o have_v be_v say_v of_o the_o communication_n of_o two_o mere_a spirit_n aught_o to_o be_v say_v of_o the_o commerce_n that_o may_v be_v betwixt_o a_o spirit_n unite_v to_o a_o body_n and_o one_o that_o be_v not_o for_o certain_o what_o incapacitates_fw-la two_o man_n to_o communicate_v their_o thought_n to_o one_o another_o without_o motion_n be_v that_o they_o have_v body_n
