notice_n of_o the_o praise_n depend_v upon_o the_o author_n be_v a_o experimental_a philosopher_n i_o see_v not_o that_o he_o say_v any_o thing_n against_o i_o therein_o but_o that_o the_o historian_n do_v suppose_v that_o his_o experimentator_n be_v a_o christian_n and_o engraft_a into_o christ_n and_o that_o the_o accessional_a of_o his_o merit_n shall_v sanctify_v his_o praise_n yet_o shall_v the_o praise_n he_o shall_v make_v be_v more_o suitable_a to_o god_n be_v frame_v according_a to_o the_o genuine_a texture_n of_o the_o almighty_a artist_n than_o the_o more_o general_a thanks_o giving_n wherein_o a_o man_n that_o have_v not_o meditate_a on_o the_o work_n of_o the_o creation_n bless_v god_n still_o for_o they_o but_o can_v say_v how_o far_o these_o exceed_v the_o utmost_a production_n of_o art_n or_o the_o improve_a power_n of_o natural_a cause_n i_o be_o sure_a he_o change_v much_o the_o odiousness_n of_o the_o word_n of_o the_o historian_n who_o say_v that_o the_o praise_n of_o god_n celebrate_v by_o a_o experimentator_n shall_v be_v more_o suitable_a to_o the_o divine_a nature_n than_o the_o blind_a applaud_v of_o the_o ignorant_a that_o be_v of_o such_o as_o

i_o see_v now_o that_o the_o scripture_n can_v make_v a_o man_n perfect_a thorough_o furnish_v unto_o all_o good_a work_n or_o complete_o wise_a unto_o salvation_n through_o faith_n that_o be_v in_o

i_o know_v not_o what_o be_v i_o do_v not_o at_o all_o in_o the_o censure_n compare_v the_o new_a and_o old_a philosophy_n i_o no_o where_o else_o avow_v the_o truth_n but_o the_o usefulness_n of_o

my_o exception_n against_o they_o lie_v thus_o the_o apostle_n do_v not_o enjoin_v the_o study_n of_o natural-experimental_a philosophy_n christ_n when_o he_o inspire_v the_o disciple_n with_o that_o which_o be_v necessary_a to_o bring_v they_o into_o all_o knowledge_n and_o when_o they_o by_o imposition_n of_o hand_n do_v confer_v the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o those_o spiritual_a gift_n by_o which_o

therefore_o i_o say_v it_o be_v not_o requisite_a to_o the_o make_n of_o our_o praise_n more_o suitable_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o god_n that_o we_o go_v about_o to_o reform_v the_o psalm_n of_o

god_n of_o heaven_n we_o may_v acquiesce_v in_o scripture-expression_n though_o more_o conformable_a to_o vulgar_a sentiment_n than_o the_o corpuscularian_a hypothesis_n those_o praise_n suit_v best_a
