there_o be_v wheel_n and_o pump_n to_o raise_v the_o water_n nevertheless_o i_o can_v see_v why_o divine_a be_v not_o sometime_o allowable_a provide_v a_o man_n set_v not_o up_o for_o a_o prophet_n paris_n and_o speak_v not_o in_o too_o positive_a a_o strain_n i_o rather_o think_v he_o be_v permit_v to_o speak_v his_o thought_n whilst_o he_o pretend_v not_o to_o be_v infallible_a nor_o lord_n it_o unjust_o over_o other_o by_o dogmatical_a decision_n or_o by_o the_o help_n of_o scientifick_a term_n it_o be_v not_o always_o divine_v to_o speak_v of_o thing_n which_o be_v not_o visible_a and_o which_o contradict_v prejudices_fw-la if_o so_o be_v we_o speak_v no_o more_o than_o we_o easy_o conceive_v and_o which_o ready_o make_v its_o way_n into_o the_o mind_n of_o other_o who_o desire_v to_o understand_v reason_n i_o say_v then_o that_o suppose_v the_o general_a law_n of_o the_o communication_n of_o motion_n such_o as_o they_o be_v there_o be_v great_a probability_n that_o the_o particular_a communication_n of_o the_o mother_n brain_n with_o that_o of_o her_o infant_n be_v necessary_a to_o form_v its_o body_n in_o a_o requisite_a manner_n or_o at_o least_o be_v necessary_a to_o give_v the_o brain_n of_o the_o infant_n certain_a disposition_n which_o ought_v to_o vary_v according_a to_o different_a time_n and_o country_n as_o i_o have_v explain_v in_o the_o same_o chapter_n i_o confess_v there_o be_v no_o communication_n between_o the_o brain_n of_o a_o hen_n and_o that_o of_o a_o chicken_n in_o the_o egg_n which_o nevertheless_o be_v perfect_o well_o form_v but_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v observe_v that_o the_o chicken_n be_v far_o advance_v in_o the_o egg_n when_o the_o hen_n lay_v it_o than_o the_o foetus_fw-la when_o it_o descend_v into_o the_o

the_o bitch_n be_v very_o hot_a and_o her_o blood_n in_o perpetual_a motion_n the_o whelp_n shall_v be_v soon_o form_v than_o the_o egg_n hatch_v be_v not_o the_o chicken_n far_o advance_v in_o their_o egg_n than_o the_o whelp_n in_o their_o cicatricles_n now_o there_o be_v great_a probability_n that_o the_o formation_n of_o the_o chicken_n in_o the_o egg_n before_o it_o be_v lay_v be_v effect_v by_o the_o communication_n i_o be_o speak_v of_o i_o answer_v in_o the_o second_o place_n that_o the_o growth_n of_o the_o body_n of_o fowl_n be_v possible_o more_o conformable_a to_o the_o general_a law_n of_o motion_n than_o that_o of_o fourfooted_a animal_n and_o that_o so_o the_o communication_n of_o the_o female_n brain_n with_o that_o of_o her_o young_a one_o be_v not_o so_o necessary_a in_o fowl_n as_o in_o other_o animal_n for_o the_o reason_n that_o make_v that_o communication_n necessary_a be_v probable_o the_o remedy_v the_o defect_n of_o these_o general_a law_n which_o in_o some_o particular_a case_n be_v insufficient_a to_o regulate_v the_o formation_n and_o growth_n of_o animal_n i_o answer_v last_o there_o be_v no_o such_o necessity_n to_o the_o preservation_n of_o the_o life_n of_o bird_n that_o they_o shall_v have_v so_o many_o particular_a disposition_n in_o their_o brain_n as_o other_o animal_n they_o have_v wing_n to_o fly_v harm_n and_o to_o secure_v their_o feed_n and_o have_v no_o need_n of_o all_o that_o particular_a mechanism_n which_o be_v the_o principle_n of_o the_o cunning_a and_o docility_n of_o some_o domestic_a creature_n therefore_o the_o old_a one_o need_v not_o instruct_v their_o young_a in_o many_o thing_n as_o they_o breed_v they_o nor_o capacitate_v they_o to_o be_v teach_v many_o afterward_o by_o give_v they_o a_o disposition_n of_o brain_n that_o be_v fit_a for_o docility_n those_o who_o breed_v young_a dog_n for_o the_o game_n sometime_o find_v those_o which_o natural_o set_v mere_o from_o the_o instruction_n they_o receive_v from_o their_o dam_n who_o often_o use_v to_o set_v with_o they_o in_o her_o belly_n there_o be_v a_o great_a difference_n almost_o always_o observable_a in_o the_o breed_n of_o these_o creature_n some_o of_o which_o be_v much_o more_o docil_n and_o tractable_a than_o other_o of_o the_o same_o species_n but_o i_o do_v not_o think_v there_o ever_o be_v a_o fowl_n that_o teach_v any_o thing_n extraordinary_a to_o her_o young_a that_o a_o hen_n for_o example_n ever_o hatch_v a_o chicken_n who_o can_v do_v any_o thing_n but_o what_o they_o all_o do_v natural_o bird_n than_o be_v not_o so_o tractable_a or_o capable_a of_o instruction_n as_o other_o animal_n the_o disposition_n of_o their_o brain_n be_v not_o ordinary_o capable_a of_o many_o change_n nor_o do_v they_o act_v so_o much_o by_o imitation_n as_o some_o domestic_a animal_n young_a duck_n which_o follow_v a_o hen_n do_v stay_v for_o her_o example_n to_o take_v the_o water_n and_o the_o chicken_n on_o the_o contrary_a never_o betake_v themselves_o to_o swim_v though_o hatch_v and_o lead_v by_o a_o duck_n that_o love_v the_o water_n but_o there_o be_v animal_n that_o easy_o and_o ready_o imitate_v the_o uncommon_a motion_n which_o they_o see_v other_o do_v however_o i_o do_v not_o pretend_v that_o much_o stress_n be_v to_o be_v lay_v on_o these_o last_o reflection_n since_o they_o be_v not_o necessary_a to_o establish_v my_o opinion_n second_o objection_n against_o the_o twelve_o article_n it_o be_v likewise_o divine_v to_o affirm_v that_o the_o mother_n before_o her_o sin_n may_v have_v any_o intercourse_n with_o her_o embryo_n there_o be_v no_o necessary_a relation_n between_o our_o thought_n and_o motion_n happen_v in_o our_o brain_n and_o therefore_o that_o communication_n between_o the_o mother_n and_o the_o infant_n be_v brain_n be_v useless_a answer_n it_o be_v evident_a that_o without_o this_o communication_n the_o infant_n be_v incapable_a of_o have_v any_o commerce_n with_o its_o mother_n or_o the_o mother_n with_o her_o infant_n without_o a_o particular_a miracle_n now_o before_o the_o sin_n order_v require_v that_o the_o mother_n shall_v have_v notice_n of_o all_o the_o corporeal_a want_n of_o her_o infant_n and_o that_o the_o infant_n shall_v resent_v its_o obligation_n to_o its_o parent_n therefore_o since_o all_o thing_n be_v in_o order_n before_o the_o sin_n and_o that_o god_n act_v always_o agreeable_o to_o order_n the_o mother_n and_o the_o child_n have_v some_o commerce_n by_o mean_n of_o this_o communication_n to_o understand_v wherein_o this_o commerce_n may_v have_v consist_v it_o must_v be_v remember_v that_o the_o connexion_n of_o the_o track_n of_o the_o brain_n with_o the_o idea_n of_o the_o soul_n may_v be_v several_a way_n effect_v either_o by_o nature_n 2._o or_o by_o the_o institution_n of_o man_n or_o some_o other_o way_n as_o i_o have_v show_v how_o in_o the_o second_o book_n in_o behold_v a_o square_a or_o the_o look_v of_o a_o person_n suffer_v any_o pain_n the_o idea_n of_o a_o square_a or_o of_o a_o afflict_a person_n rise_v in_o the_o mind_n this_o be_v common_a to_o all_o nation_n and_o the_o connexion_n between_o these_o idea_n and_o these_o trace_n be_v natural_a when_o a_o englishman_n hear_v pronounce_v or_o read_v the_o word_n square_n he_o have_v likewise_o the_o idea_n of_o a_o square_n but_o the_o connexion_n which_o be_v between_o the_o sound_n or_o the_o letter_n of_o that_o word_n and_o its_o idea_n be_v not_o natural_a nor_o be_v it_o general_a with_o all_o the_o world_n i_o say_v then_o that_o the_o mother_n and_o her_o infant_n must_v natural_o have_v have_v a_o correspondence_n between_o they_o upon_o all_o the_o thing_n that_o can_v be_v represent_v to_o the_o mind_n by_o natural_a connexion_n that_o if_o the_o mother_n for_o instance_n have_v see_v a_o square_a the_o infant_n will_v have_v see_v one_o too_o and_o that_o if_o the_o infant_n have_v imagine_v any_o figure_n he_o will_v have_v likewise_o excite_v the_o trace_n of_o the_o same_o figure_n in_o the_o imagination_n of_o his_o mother_n but_o they_o will_v have_v have_v no_o

imagination_n the_o mother_n may_v have_v think_v on_o god_n have_v hear_v or_o read_v the_o word_n square_n or_o the_o like_a and_o yet_o the_o child_n not_o have_v discover_v what_o be_v her_o thought_n thereof_o unless_o in_o tract_n of_o time_n she_o shall_v have_v settle_v a_o new_a commerce_n of_o intellectual_a idea_n with_o it_o much_o what_o the_o same_o with_o that_o of_o nurse_n when_o they_o teach_v their_o child_n to_o speak_v i_o explain_v and_o prove_v these_o thing_n one_o will_v think_v i_o have_v sufficient_o prove_v they_o by_o the_o explication_n i_o give_v of_o

four_o part_n of_o his_o philosophical_a principle_n which_o run_v thus_o that_o the_o former_a hypothesis_n be_v to_o be_v retain_v notwithstanding_o its_o be_v false_a to_o find_v out_o the_o true_a cause_n of_o natural_a thing_n he_o express_o assert_v the_o contrary_a in_o these_o word_n though_o i_o pretend_v not_o that_o the_o body_n of_o this_o visible_a world_n be_v ever_o produce_v in_o the_o manner_n that_o have_v be_v describe_v before_o of_o which_o the_o reader_n have_v be_v already_o sufficient_o forewarn_v yet_o i_o must_v still_o keep_v to_o the_o same_o hypothesis_n to_o

thing_n and_o they_o can_v be_v find_v out_o another_o way_n i_o may_v thence_o reasonable_o conclude_v that_o though_o the_o world_n be_v not_o at_o the_o beginning_n frame_v in_o this_o manner_n but_o create_v immediate_o by_o god_n yet_o the_o nature_n of_o all_o thing_n it_o contain_v cease_v not_o to_o be_v the_o very_a same_o as_o though_o they_o have_v be_v produce_v in_o that_o very_a method_n des_fw-mi cartes_n know_v that_o to_o understand_v the_o nature_n of_o thing_n they_o must_v be_v consider_v in_o their_o birth_n and_o original_a and_o that_o begin_n with_o those_o that_o be_v most_o simple_a we_o ought_v to_o drive_v they_o up_o to_o the_o fountain_n head_n and_o that_o the_o business_n be_v not_o to_o examine_v whether_o god_n work_v by_o the_o most_o simple_a way_n

first_o consider_v in_o their_o principle_n if_o we_o will_v understand_v they_o and_o afterward_o we_o shall_v observe_v how_o consistent_a our_o thought_n be_v with_o the_o operation_n of_o god_n by_o compare_v they_o together_o he_o know_v that_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n by_o which_o god_n preserve_v all_o his_o work_n in_o their_o present_a order_n and_o situation_n be_v the_o same_o law_n with_o those_o by_o which_o he_o may_v have_v form_v and_o dispose_v they_o it_o be_v evident_a to_o all_o consider_v man_n that_o if_o god_n have_v not_o dispose_v his_o work_n in_o a_o instant_n in_o the_o same_o manner_n they_o will_v have_v order_v and_o posture_v themselves_o in_o time_n the_o whole_a oeconomy_n of_o nature_n will_v be_v destroy_v since_o the_o law_n of_o preservation_n
