the_o more_o difficult_a by_o we_o to_o be_v find_v to_o prove_v this_o there_o will_v need_v but_o little_a labour_n since_o doubtless_o many_o of_o you_o in_o seek_v what_o you_o earnest_o desire_v have_v find_v what_o you_o seek_v not_o after_o and_o may_v easy_o perceive_v that_o what_o you_o aim_v at_o be_v in_o a_o manner_n hide_v from_o you_o and_o the_o cause_n hereof_o may_v well_o deserve_v our_o inspection_n since_o doubtless_o the_o desire_n in_o we_o can_v be_v no_o other_o than_o a_o effect_n of_o the_o matter_n by_o we_o desire_v how_o then_o shall_v it_o happen_v that_o our_o desire_n be_v in_o its_o own_o effect_n nevertheless_o do_v seem_v to_o withdraw_v itself_o from_o we_o desire_n be_v the_o covet_n of_o one_o and_o the_o self_n same_o thing_n yet_o notwithstanding_o its_o very_a strange_a that_o the_o desire_n and_o the_o object_n desire_v as_o though_o they_o be_v two_o contrary_n seem_v to_o shun_v and_o be_v separate_v the_o one_o from_o the_o other_o contrary_n as_o be_v say_v they_o be_v not_o since_o between_o the_o desire_n and_o the_o thing_n desire_v there_o be_v a_o mutual_a attractive_a sympathy_n and_o correspondence_n yet_o notwithstanding_o its_o so_o obscure_a and_o disguise_v that_o its_o very_a difficult_a to_o find_v out_o its_o ground_n therefore_o as_o you_o may_v have_v have_v many_o and_o sundry_a experience_n of_o this_o doubtful_a case_n i_o shall_v whilst_o you_o may_v be_v please_v to_o meditate_v on_o its_o resolve_n treat_v of_o one_o of_o the_o great_a powerful_a and_o most_o common_a effect_n of_o appetite_n in_o this_o world_n to_o wit_n of_o well_o speak_v and_o give_v you_o the_o proof_n thereof_o for_o that_o desire_n be_v a_o appetite_n all_o appetite_n be_v reduce_v into_o three_o sort_n as_o a_o natural_a appetite_n a_o sensitive_a appetite_n and_o a_o rational_a appetite_n the_o natural_a appetite_n belong_v only_o to_o a_o body_n without_o a_o soul_n the_o sensitive_a appetite_n be_v proper_a to_o a_o sensible_a body_n and_o the_o rational_a appetite_n can_v only_o be_v appropriate_v unto_o man_n endue_v with_o reason_n nay_o all_o three_o be_v proper_a to_o man_n as_o well_o the_o natural_a appetite_n as_o the_o sensitive_a and_o the_o rational_a for_o that_o in_o man_n the_o elementary_a nature_n coopperate_v and_o have_v its_o natural_a appetite_n as_o you_o see_v man_n be_v heavy_a descend_v the_o sensible_a nature_n likewise_o be_v predominant_a in_o man_n and_o have_v its_o sensible_a appetite_n for_o man_n as_o a_o sensible_a animal_n touch_v feel_v hear_v smell_n and_o taste_v and_o above_o all_o the_o rest_n he_o be_v endue_v with_o a_o rational_a nature_n which_o according_a to_o all_o reason_n be_v consequent_o a_o appetite_n likewise_o now_o all_o the_o appetite_n which_o be_v universal_o sensible_a being_n but_o three_o and_o those_o three_o be_v perfect_o place_v in_o man_n he_o therefore_o both_o by_o a_o natural_a sensitive_a and_o reasonable_a appetite_n desire_n seek_v passionate'_v and_o run_v with_o all_o his_o might_n after_o eloquence_n i_o mean_v the_o art_n and_o science_n of_o well_o speak_v it_o be_v that_o he_o aim_v at_o and_o what_o he_o fix_v on_o true_a it_o be_v that_o he_o do_v not_o always_o meet_v with_o that_o which_o he_o seek_v for_o have_v i_o not_o tell_v you_o so_o and_o moreover_o i_o can_v assure_v you_o that_o in_o a_o state_n there_o may_v be_v find_v a_o great_a number_n of_o philosopher_n speculatist_n and_o moral_a man_n nay_o divine_n doctor_n in_o law_n and_o in_o physic_n yet_o you_o will_v meet_v with_o a_o very_a few_o of_o all_o these_o profession_n that_o have_v attain_v to_o the_o art_n of_o well_o speak_v and_o it_o be_v more_o to_o be_v admire_v that_o have_v so_o little_a of_o this_o art_n they_o make_v no_o better_a use_n of_o it_o whereof_o at_o the_o close_a of_o this_o discourse_n i_o shall_v give_v you_o the_o reason_n and_o likewise_o the_o mean_n how_o we_o may_v obtain_v what_o we_o desire_v let_v i_o but_o represent_v unto_o you_o the_o extent_n of_o the_o desire_n and_o you_o will_v find_v that_o we_o shall_v not_o need_v to_o despair_v in_o our_o
