have_v it_o not_o one_o only_a part_n power_n or_o faculty_n or_o virtue_n as_o we_o may_v call_v it_o but_o diverse_a appoint_v for_o diverse_a and_o sundry_a office_n for_o we_o be_v participant_a of_o the_o nature_n of_o all_o thing_n live_v and_o those_o be_v divide_v into_o three_o kind_n it_o be_v necessary_a that_o man_n shall_v have_v some_o part_n of_o every_o of_o those_o three_o there_o be_v then_o one_o base_a and_o inferior_a kind_n of_o life_n of_o less_o estimation_n than_o the_o rest_n and_o that_o be_v the_o life_n of_o tree_n and_o plant_n and_o of_o all_o such_o thing_n as_o have_v root_n in_o the_o earth_n which_o spring_n grow_v bloom_n and_o bring_v forth_o fruit_n which_o fruit_n aristotle_n say_v come_v from_o they_o in_o stead_n of_o excrement_n together_o with_o their_o seed_n and_o these_o tree_n and_o plant_n and_o such_o like_a grow_a thing_n have_v only_o life_n devoid_a of_o feel_v though_o pythagoras_n think_v otherwise_o or_o of_o any_o knowledge_n but_o by_o the_o benefit_n of_o nature_n only_o they_o spring_v they_o grow_v and_o bringforth_o fruit_n and_o seed_n for_o the_o use_n of_o man_n and_o for_o the_o maintain_n of_o their_o kind_n there_o be_v another_o kind_n of_o life_n less_o imperfect_a than_o that_o which_o be_v the_o same_o that_o perfect_a live_a creature_n have_v for_o of_o that_o life_n which_o be_v in_o manner_n a_o mean_a between_o the_o life_n of_o plant_n and_o this_o of_o sensible_a creature_n we_o need_v not_o now_o to_o speak_v or_o if_o it_o be_v we_o shall_v resemble_v it_o to_o that_o which_o physician_n call_v embryo_n and_o be_v the_o creature_n unperfect_a in_o the_o womb_n while_o it_o be_v between_o the_o form_n of_o seed_n and_o of_o the_o kind_n whence_o it_o come_v which_o life_n of_o perfect_a live_a creature_n have_v in_o it_o by_o nature_n power_n to_o feel_v and_o to_o move_v from_o place_n to_o place_n for_o we_o see_v they_o stir_v and_o feel_v and_o have_v power_n to_o desire_v those_o thing_n that_o be_v meet_v for_o the_o maintain_n of_o their_o life_n and_o of_o their_o nature_n and_o by_o natural_a inclination_n and_o for_o the_o increase_n and_o continuance_n of_o their_o kind_n they_o covet_v the_o join_n of_o their_o body_n to_o yield_v unto_o nature_n that_o which_o of_o nature_n they_o have_v receive_v that_o be_v to_o engender_v the_o like_a unto_o themselves_o but_o this_o power_n of_o the_o soul_n can_v use_v that_o force_n and_o virtue_n which_o natural_o it_o have_v if_o it_o have_v not_o withal_o that_o former_a part_n which_o be_v proper_a as_o be_v say_v to_o plant_n &_o be_v call_v vegetative_a you_o must_v give_v i_o leave_v to_o use_v new_a word_n of_o art_n such_o as_o be_v proper_a to_o express_v new_a conceit_n though_o they_o be_v yet_o strange_a and_o not_o denison_v in_o our_o language_n because_o it_o give_v life_n and_o increase_n to_o grow_a thing_n and_o without_o it_o the_o power_n of_o feeling_n do_v utter_o fail_v next_o after_o this_o come_v that_o excellent_a and_o divine_a part_n of_o the_o soul_n which_o bring_v with_o it_o the_o light_n of_o reason_n contain_v in_o it_o the_o power_n faculty_n or_o virtue_n of_o the_o other_o two_o for_o it_o have_v that_o life_n which_o proceed_v from_o plant_n it_o have_v sense_n or_o feeling_n &_o motion_n from_o place_n to_o place_n proper_a to_o the_o second_o kind_n and_o it_o have_v beside_o that_o other_o part_n whereby_o it_o know_v understand_v discourse_v consult_v choose_v and_o give_v itself_o to_o operation_n and_o to_o contemplate_v thing_n natural_a and_o divine_a and_o this_o part_n be_v proper_a only_o to_o man_n and_o as_o by_o the_o two_o other_o faculty_n before_o mention_v we_o be_v like_a to_o plant_n and_o to_o bruit_n beast_n so_o by_o this_o last_o we_o do_v participate_v of_o the_o divine_a nature_n of_o god_n himself_o wherefore_o aristotle_n say_v that_o man_n be_v create_v upright_o for_o no_o other_o cause_n then_o for_o that_o his_o substance_n be_v divine_a who_o nature_n and_o office_n be_v to_o know_v and_o understand_v and_o true_o this_o gift_n be_v give_v unto_o we_o by_o the_o maker_n and_o governor_n of_o all_o thing_n because_o we_o may_v know_v ourselves_o to_o be_v of_o a_o nature_n most_o perfect_a among_o earthly_a thing_n and_o not_o far_o inferior_a to_o the_o divine_a and_o that_o we_o have_v receive_v so_o singular_a a_o gift_n from_o almighty_a god_n for_o no_o other_o cause_n but_o only_o to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v perceive_v how_o all_o other_o thing_n that_o grow_v and_o live_v on_o earth_n be_v corruptible_a and_o do_v resolve_v into_o their_o first_o principle_n or_o beginning_n and_o cease_v any_o more_o to_o be_v as_o soon_o as_o the_o soul_n of_o life_n depart_v from_o they_o but_o that_o our_o mind_n be_v immortal_a and_o incorruptible_a whereby_o we_o may_v rest_v assure_v of_o a_o eternal_a life_n since_o then_o these_o three_o faculty_n of_o the_o soul_n be_v in_o we_o it_o be_v clear_a that_o as_o the_o plant_n among_o thing_n that_o bear_v life_n be_v the_o most_o imperfect_a so_o that_o part_n of_o the_o soul_n be_v most_o unperfect_a which_o be_v proper_a to_o their_o kind_n but_o it_o be_v so_o necessary_a to_o all_o other_o kind_n as_o without_o it_o there_o be_v no_o life_n and_o with_o it_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o faculty_n that_o be_v join_v therewith_o though_o they_o be_v worthy_a decay_n and_o fall_v and_o this_o necessity_n of_o nature_n that_o without_o it_o she_o give_v no_o life_n make_v the_o same_o to_o be_v most_o base_a and_o ignoble_a for_o among_o natural_a thing_n those_o which_o be_v so_o necessary_a as_o without_o they_o nothing_o can_v be_v do_v be_v always_o hold_v and_o repute_v the_o most_o unworthy_a which_o thing_n we_o may_v see_v in_o that_o we_o call_v materia_fw-la prima_fw-la which_o though_o it_o be_v in_o nature_n before_o the_o form_n yet_o because_o of_o the_o necessity_n thereof_o it_o be_v esteem_v of_o no_o nobility_n in_o comparison_n of_o the_o form_n and_o even_o so_o likewise_o among_o the_o sense_n that_o of_o feeling_n be_v hold_v the_o base_a because_o no_o perfect_a live_a creature_n can_v be_v without_o it_o nor_o yet_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o sense_n unless_o that_o be_v present_a and_o therefore_o aristotle_n say_v that_o the_o other_o sense_n be_v give_v to_o man_n that_o thereby_o he_o may_v live_v the_o better_a but_o the_o sense_n of_o feeling_n be_v give_v he_o because_o without_o it_o he_o can_v neither_o be_v nor_o live_v now_o for_o so_o much_o as_o life_n may_v be_v without_o sense_n because_o the_o sensitive_a soul_n be_v not_o of_o such_o necessity_n as_o be_v the_o vegetative_a therefore_o be_v that_o of_o more_o nobility_n than_o this_o somewhat_o yet_o inferior_a to_o the_o intellective_a which_o can_v no_o more_o be_v without_o the_o sensitive_a than_o the_o sensitive_a without_o the_o vegetative_a and_o because_o the_o intellective_a soul_n be_v not_o of_o necessity_n serve_v to_o any_o other_o faculty_n or_o power_n therefore_o be_v she_o as_o lady_n mistress_n and_o queen_n over_o all_o other_o the_o power_n faculty_n or_o virtue_n of_o the_o soul_n so_o as_o there_o be_v none_o proper_a unto_o man_n but_o that_o whereby_o he_o may_v be_v either_o good_a or_o bad_a happy_a or_o unhappy_a and_o the_o same_o be_v it_o whereby_o we_o understand_v and_o make_v choice_n rather_o of_o one_o course_n of_o life_n then_o of_o another_o this_o great_a gift_n have_v god_n bestow_v upon_o we_o to_o show_v his_o great_a grace_n and_o goodness_n and_o for_o this_o purpose_n that_o as_o he_o have_v invite_v we_o through_o virtue_n of_o our_o understanding_n to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o truth_n and_o by_o this_o knowledge_n to_o become_v like_a unto_o himself_o so_o we_o shall_v bend_v all_o our_o study_n and_o endeavour_n thereunto_o as_o the_o end_n and_o scope_n of_o our_o life_n in_o this_o world_n of_o which_o the_o occasion_n of_o this_o our_o present_a speech_n do_v first_o arise_v here_o i_o pause_v a_o while_n as_o to_o take_v breath_n and_o withal_o to_o order_v some_o of_o the_o paper_n the_o lord_n primate_n speak_v say_v have_v treat_v thus_o far_o of_o the_o power_n faculty_n virtue_n or_o part_n of_o the_o soul_n i_o think_v it_o not_o impertinent_a to_o move_v a_o question_n whether_o they_o be_v in_o man_n separate_v and_o in_o several_a place_n or_o whether_o they_o be_v unite_v all_o together_o and_o seat_v in_o one_o place_n this_o question_n quoth_v i_o be_v very_o pertinent_a to_o this_o place_n and_o by_o the_o author_n here_o resolve_v as_o a_o doubt_n not_o light_o or_o easy_a to_o be_v answer_v first_o for_o that_o there_o have_v not_o want_v some_o who_o will_v needs_o have_v that_o these_o three_o power_n of_o the_o
soul_n be_v three_o distinct_a soul_n and_o not_o join_v in_o one_o soul_n appoint_v for_o several_a office_n but_o because_o that_o opinion_n have_v be_v esteem_v but_o vain_a it_o need_v not_o to_o be_v insist_v upon_o but_o brief_o that_o i_o declare_v what_o aristotle_n and_o plato_n with_o their_o follower_n have_v hold_v the_o first_o with_o his_o scholar_n affirm_v the_o reasonable_a soul_n to_o be_v in_o substance_n indivisible_a and_o albeit_o they_o assign_v unto_o her_o diverse_a virtue_n yet_o will_v they_o not_o have_v they_o to_o be_v indeed_o several_a and_o diverse_a but_o that_o the_o diversity_n shall_v proceed_v &_o consist_v only_o in_o the_o manner_n of_o understand_v they_o suppose_v they_o to_o be_v in_o the_o soul_n after_o such_o a_o sort_n as_o in_o the_o line_n of_o a_o circle_n the_o inner_a part_n which_o be_v hollow_a or_o embow_v and_o the_o outward_a which_o be_v bend_v which_o two_o part_n though_o we_o understand_v they_o diverse_o yet_o be_v they_o but_o one_o line_n and_o not_o several_a neither_o do_v they_o assign_v unto_o her_o diverse_a place_n but_o say_v that_o she_o be_v all_o and_o whole_a in_o all_o our_o body_n and_o in_o every_o part_n of_o the_o same_o and_o apt_a there_o to_o exercise_v all_o her_o function_n if_o the_o part_n be_v apt_a to_o receive_v they_o but_o because_o every_o part_n be_v not_o dispose_v to_o receive_v they_o therefore_o she_o make_v show_v of_o they_o only_o in_o such_o as_o be_v make_v fit_a instrument_n to_o execute_v her_o power_n and_o faculty_n so_o give_v she_o virtue_n to_o the_o eye_n to_o see_v to_o the_o ear_n to_o hear_v and_o to_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o member_n that_o be_v the_o instrument_n of_o our_o sense_n but_o plato_n and_o his_o sect_n have_v give_v to_o every_o power_n of_o faculty_n of_o the_o soul_n a_o peculiar_a seat_n in_o man_n body_n for_o though_o they_o hold_v the_o soul_n to_o be_v but_o one_o endue_v with_o several_a virtue_n or_o power_n yet_o they_o affirm_v that_o every_o one_o of_o those_o have_v a_o several_a seat_n appoint_v in_o man_n body_n to_o the_o vegetative_a from_o which_o as_o from_o a_o fountain_n they_o say_v the_o concupiscible_a appetite_n do_v flow_v they_o appoint_v the_o liver_n for_o her_o place_n to_o the_o sensitive_a whence_o come_v say_v they_o the_o fervent_a passion_n of_o anger_n they_o give_v the_o heart_n but_o the_o reasonable_a soul_n as_o be_v the_o most_o divine_a thing_n under_o heaven_n they_o assign_v to_o hold_v her_o seat_n like_o a_o queen_n in_o a_o royal_a chair_n even_o in_o the_o head_n unto_o which_o opinion_n all_o the_o greek_a author_n of_o physic_n have_v lean_v and_o special_o galen_n the_o excellent_a interpreter_n of_o hypocrates_n who_o have_v not_o only_o attribute_v three_o several_a seat_n to_o the_o three_o several_a faculty_n of_o the_o soul_n in_o respect_n of_o their_o operation_n but_o have_v also_o show_v with_o what_o order_n those_o member_n be_v frame_v that_o must_v be_v the_o receptacle_n of_o those_o faculty_n for_o he_o show_v how_o the_o first_o member_n that_o take_v form_n after_o the_o conception_n be_v the_o liver_n from_o whence_o spring_n all_o the_o vein_n that_o like_o small_a brook_n carry_v blood_n over_o all_o the_o body_n and_o in_o this_o member_n do_v he_o place_v the_o live_n or_o nourish_v soul_n which_o we_o have_v term_v vegetative_a affirm_v it_o to_o be_v most_o approach_v to_o nature_n next_o unto_o this_o he_o place_v the_o heart_n wherein_o all_o the_o vital_a spirit_n be_v forge_v and_o receive_v their_o strength_n for_o the_o generation_n whereof_o the_o liver_n send_v blood_n thither_o where_o it_o be_v refine_v and_o make_v more_o pure_a and_o subtle_a and_o from_o thence_o by_o the_o artery_n which_o all_o spring_n from_o the_o heart_n the_o same_o spirit_n be_v spread_v throughout_o the_o whole_a body_n and_o these_o two_o principal_a member_n be_v the_o seat_n of_o the_o two_o

discourse_v particular_o all_o that_o which_o may_v be_v say_v in_o this_o matter_n i_o will_v return_v if_o you_o so_o think_v good_a to_o our_o former_a purpose_n which_o i_o leave_v to_o satisfy_v your_o demand_n thus_o much_o say_v the_o lord_n primate_n have_v not_o a_o little_a open_v the_o understanding_n of_o this_o matter_n and_o therefore_o you_o may_v proceed_v unless_o any_o other_o of_o the_o company_n have_v any_o other_o doubt_n to_o propose_v but_o they_o all_o be_v silent_a and_o seem_v attentive_a to_o hear_v further_o i_o say_v now_o that_o you_o have_v understand_v what_o the_o power_n and_o faculty_n of_o the_o soul_n be_v it_o follow_v to_o be_v declare_v how_o the_o age_n of_o man_n life_n have_v similitude_n with_o the_o same_o as_o the_o soul_n of_o life_n therefore_o call_v vegetative_a be_v the_o foundation_n of_o the_o rest_n and_o consequent_o of_o the_o base_a so_o be_v the_o age_n of_o childhood_n the_o foundation_n of_o the_o other_o age_n and_o therefore_o the_o least_o noble_a for_o the_o necessity_n which_o it_o carry_v with_o it_o and_o because_o upon_o it_o the_o other_o age_n be_v build_v there_o ought_v the_o great_a diligence_n to_o

understand_v that_o aristotle_n will_v in_o no_o wise_n yield_v that_o this_o inferior_a soul_n shall_v be_v capable_a of_o reason_n and_o therefore_o place_v in_o the_o sensible_a soul_n both_o the_o

to_o the_o first_o the_o concupiscible_a and_o the_o irascible_a to_o the_o other_o and_o because_o plato_n his_o opinion_n have_v general_o be_v better_a allow_v than_o aristotle_n i_o will_v speak_v thereof_o according_a as_o plato_n have_v determine_v this_o base_a soul_n then_o be_v that_o whereby_o we_o be_v nourish_v we_o grow_v we_o sustain_v life_n and_o receive_v our_o body_n and_o be_v

without_o any_o endeavour_n of_o our_o own_o her_o virtue_n and_o operation_n if_o food_n and_o nourishment_n fail_v not_o be_v in_o her_o full_a force_n chief_o in_o childhood_n and_o as_o soon_o

therefore_o aristotle_n say_v right_a well_o that_o the_o mean_a of_o virtue_n between_o two_o extreme_n be_v a_o geometrical_a mean_n which_o have_v a_o respect_n to_o proportion_n and_o not_o a_o arithmetical_a mean_n which_o respect_v equal_a distance_n so_o as_o you_o must_v understand_v that_o virtue_n be_v not_o call_v a_o mean_a between_o two_o extreme_n because_o she_o participate_v of_o

to_o the_o other_o as_o have_v be_v say_v already_o and_o by_o proportion_n geometrical_a they_o be_v in_o the_o midst_n which_o by_o arithmetical_a will_v not_o be_v so_o for_o thereby_o they_o must_v be_v in_o the_o just_a midst_n and_o equal_o distant_a from_o both_o the_o extreme_n as_o for_o example_n let_v we_o
suppose_v 6._o to_o be_v the_o mean_a between_o 4._o and_o 8_o for_o 6._o have_v two_o more_o than_o 4_o and_o so_o have_v it_o two_o less_o than_o 8_o and_o in_o respect_n of_o itself_o stand_v just_a in_o the_o midst_n between_o 4._o and_o 8_o and_o equal_o distant_a from_o they_o both_o and_o this_o be_v your_o arithmetical_a mean_n but_o the_o geometrical_a proportion_n be_v after_o another_o manner_n for_o suppose_v 2._o and_o 8._o to_o be_v the_o extreme_n and_o 4._o to_o be_v the_o mean_a here_o you_o see_v that_o 2._o &_o 4._o have_v a_o double_a proportion_n and_o so_o have_v 4._o and_o 8._o the_o one_o to_o the_o other_o and_o so_o 4._o participate_v of_o that_o double_a proportion_n as_o well_o with_o 8._o as_o with_o 2_o and_o yet_o be_v near_o to_o 2._o then_o to_o 8_o which_o it_o do_v likewise_o in_o another_o respect_n for_o if_o the_o two_o extreme_n be_v multiply_v together_o as_o 2._o with_o 8._o they_o make_v 16_o and_o so_o much_o do_v 4._o likewise_o be_v multiply_v in_o itself_o for_o four_o time_n 4._o make_v 16._o and_o thus_o you_o see_v what_o difference_n be_v between_o geometrical_a and_o arithmetical_a proportion_n now_o though_o every_o virtue_n have_v peculiar_a extreme_n between_o which_o it_o be_v place_v yet_o philosopher_n say_v that_o they_o consist_v all_o general_o about_o matter_n of_o pleasure_n or_o the_o
