hear_v the_o corn_n wine_n and_o oil_n and_o other_o fruit_n and_o all_o hear_n man._n and_o as_o in_o this_o low_a world_n one_o part_n of_o the_o creation_n be_v support_v by_o another_o as_o the_o

of_o thing_n in_o nature_n each_o part_n tend_v to_o preserve_v the_o whole_a which_o the_o philosopher_n call_v the_o harmony_n of_o the_o universe_n as_o one_o of_o they_o speak_v natura_fw-la

so_o temper_v and_o modulate_v as_o to_o make_v pleasant_a music_n so_o the_o several_a part_n of_o the_o universe_n be_v so_o adapt_v and_o fit_v to_o each_o other_o as_o that_o they_o all_o do_v

this_o be_v do_v by_o some_o wise_a agent_n as_o there_o be_v many_o pleasant_a quality_n in_o natural_a thing_n so_o man_n have_v several_a bodily_a sense_n whereby_o to_o discern_v and_o enjoy_v the_o pleasantness_n of_o they_o to_o what_o purpose_n be_v there_o sweet_a smell_v beautiful_a colour_n pleasant_a taste_n in_o the_o flower_n and_o fruit_n of_o the_o earth_n if_o there_o be_v no_o

of_o the_o several_a part_n of_o the_o creation_n to_o his_o use_n do_v show_v that_o it_o be_v the_o effect_n of_o some_o infinite_a wisdom_n arg._n 4._o whence_o be_v it_o that_o those_o two_o

for_o such_o a_o end_n and_o if_o intentional_o than_o it_o be_v do_v by_o reason_n and_o if_o by_o reason_n it_o must_v be_v by_o his_o reason_n that_o first_o make_v this_o universe_n for_o be_v it_o not_o rational_a that_o when_o the_o creature_n be_v make_v they_o shall_v be_v preserve_v both_o in_o the_o individual_n and_o the_o several_a species_n or_o kind_n of_o their_o be_v and_o what_o can_v do_v this_o better_a in_o a_o natural_a course_n than_o for_o they_o to_o have_v these_o two_o principle_n inherent_a in_o their_o several_a nature_n and_o so_o we_o may_v observe_v in_o vegetable_n as_o herb_n flower_n tree_n they_o all_o have_v a_o seed_n in_o themselves_o which_o nature_n bring_v forth_o for_o the_o preservation_n of_o their_o several_a kind_n in_o a_o continue_a

be_v and_o the_o first_o perfection_n for_o instance_n we_o see_v some_o knowledge_n in_o brute_n but_o more_o in_o man_n more_o in_o angel_n but_o there_o be_v a_o be_v then_o that_o be_v perfect_a

these_o degree_n of_o be_v among_o the_o creature_n as_o several_a part_n of_o be_v we_o may_v again_o argue_v where_o there_o be_v part_n there_o must_v be_v some_o whole_a and_o where_o there_o be_v
