because_o it_o be_v the_o fountain_n of_o the_o marrow_n in_o the_o back_n bone_n of_o which_o those_o sinew_n be_v derive_v that_o give_v the_o strong_a motion_n to_o all_o the_o member_n of_o the_o

part_n of_o the_o brain_n which_o be_v not_o to_o sustain_v so_o great_a stress_n second_o forasmuch_o as_o the_o memory_n be_v as_o it_o be_v the_o register_n and_o chancery_n court_n of_o all_o the_o other_o sense_n the_o image_n of_o all_o thing_n bring_v and_o commit_v unto_o it_o by_o they_o be_v to_o be_v imprint_v therein_o as_o the_o image_n and_o sign_n of_o a_o ring_n or_o seal_n be_v imprint_v and_o set_v in_o the_o wax_n that_o be_v seal_v therefore_o it_o be_v needful_a that_o the_o matter_n of_o the_o instrument_n of_o memory_n shall_v be_v so_o well_o temper_v memory_n that_o it_o be_v neither_o too_o soft_a nor_o too_o hard_a for_o if_o it_o be_v too_o soft_a the_o image_n will_v be_v soon_o engrave_v but_o they_o will_v not_o stay_v there_o any_o long_a time_n as_o they_o that_o will_v be_v quick_o blot_v out_o contrariwise_o if_o it_o be_v over_o hard_o it_o will_v be_v a_o hard_a matter_n to_o imprint_v they_o therein_o but_o when_o it_o be_v well_o temper_v it_o receive_v the_o image_n easy_o and_o keep_v they_o well_o for_o the_o memory_n have_v two_o duty_n as_o well_o as_o the_o hand_n namely_o to_o receive_v and_o to_o hold_v fast_o therefore_o they_o that_o be_v of_o a_o moist_a brain_n receive_v more_o easy_o into_o their_o memory_n that_o which_o be_v offer_v unto_o they_o and_o they_o that_o have_v a_o dry_a brain_n retain_v and_o keep_v better_o in_o memory_n but_o follow_v that_o which_o we_o have_v hitherto_o speak_v of_o all_o the_o internal_a sense_n sense_n we_o be_v now_o to_o observe_v and_o note_v this_o that_o the_o knowledge_n of_o thing_n which_o we_o have_v by_o the_o outward_a sense_n be_v as_o if_o we_o behold_v the_o shadow_n of_o they_o and_o that_o knowledge_n which_o we_o have_v by_o the_o common_a sense_n by_o imagination_n and_o fantasy_n be_v as_o if_o we_o do_v look_v upon_o the_o image_n which_o represent_v unto_o we_o those_o thing_n whereof_o they_o be_v image_n morelively_a and_o clear_o then_o their_o shadow_n can_v do_v and_o the_o knowledge_n we_o have_v by_o understanding_n of_o which_o faculty_n we_o will_v entreat_v hereafter_o be_v as_o if_o we_o view_v not_o only_o the_o shadow_n or_o image_n of_o thing_n but_o also_o their_o very_a body_n which_o be_v more_o and_o that_o knowledge_n which_o we_o have_v by_o reason_n be_v as_o if_o beside_o all_o this_o we_o see_v their_o effect_n and_o virtue_n therefore_o there_o be_v as_o much_o difference_n between_o the_o knowledge_n that_o a_o man_n may_v have_v by_o every_o one_o of_o these_o faculty_n and_o power_n as_o

thorough_o know_v
for_o all_o these_o sense_n and_o virtue_n of_o man_n mind_n agree_v so_o well_o together_o that_o as_o the_o outward_a sense_n serve_v the_o common_a sense_n so_o the_o common_a sense_n serve_v

thereof_o be_v in_o the_o hindermost_a part_n of_o the_o head_n because_o it_o must_v look_v to_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v past_a eye_n so_o that_o we_o have_v in_o that_o part_n as_o it_o be_v a_o

the_o more_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v love_v so_o that_o every_o will_n shall_v desire_v to_o join_v itself_o thereunto_o to_o follow_v after_o it_o and_o to_o have_v the_o fruition_n thereof_o and_o because_o there_o can_v be_v no_o good_a great_a than_o god_n therefore_o no_o other_o can_v be_v love_v but_o that_o so_o that_o while_o he_o love_v himself_o he_o love_v all_o the_o good_a that_o may_v be_v because_o there_o be_v none_o but_o in_o he_o and_o from_o he_o therefore_o this_o follow_v necessary_o that_o as_o all_o good_a thing_n proceed_v from_o he_o so_o they_o must_v be_v all_o

our_o former_a discourse_n that_o god_n have_v give_v to_o man_n understanding_n to_o know_v good_a and_o will_v to_o desire_v and_o follow_v it_o it_o be_v his_o duty_n always_o to_o refer_v all_o

what_o great_a joy_n or_o contentation_n can_v they_o have_v nay_o there_o be_v three_o thing_n that_o do_v great_o diminish_v their_o comfort_n the_o first_o be_v their_o doubt_v wherewith_o they_o

which_o they_o be_v able_a to_o afford_v of_o their_o virtue_n and_o vice_n conscience_n therefore_o whatsoever_o they_o think_v or_o hope_v see_v they_o be_v not_o very_o sure_a and_o certain_a neither_o indeed_o can_v be_v if_o they_o have_v no_o better_a assurance_n then_o by_o their_o natural_a light_n and_o reason_n they_o must_v needs_o be_v subject_a continual_o to_o sorrow_n and_o

who_o can_v assure_v they_o that_o they_o shall_v be_v exempt_v and_o free_v thereof_o for_o howsoever_o they_o labour_v to_o enforce_v as_o it_o be_v their_o conscience_n and_o strive_v never_o so_o

and_o content_v they_o and_o as_o for_o persuade_v themselves_o that_o there_o be_v no_o punishment_n for_o the_o wicked_a they_o be_v never_o able_a to_o do_v it_o for_o the_o same_o natural_a

the_o one_o sort_n endeavour_n with_o all_o their_o power_n to_o be_v persuade_v of_o this_o that_o man_n soul_n be_v mortal_a as_o well_o as_o their_o body_n and_o that_o after_o death_n there_o

virtue_n and_o vice_n thing_n honest_a and_o dishonest_a for_o if_o there_o be_v no_o reward_n either_o for_o the_o one_o or_o the_o other_o or_o if_o it_o be_v all_o one_o it_o follow_v either_o

feign_a kind_n of_o speech_n their_o meaning_n be_v rather_o to_o withdraw_v man_n from_o beastly_a affection_n unworthy_a their_o nature_n and_o thereby_o to_o paint_v out_o and_o to_o express_v the_o diversity_n of_o those_o affection_n and_o to_o set_v they_o as_o it_o be_v before_o their_o eye_n thereby_o to_o declare_v unto_o they_o how_o by_o reason_n of_o their_o unruly_a affection_n they_o resemble_v all_o other_o creature_n and_o chief_o brute_n beast_n wherefore_o we_o may_v with_o good_a reason_n call_v man_n a_o little_a world_n if_o there_o be_v no_o other_o cause_n but_o this_o albeit_o in_o this_o respect_n it_o stand_v not_o with_o his_o honour_n and_o credit_n for_o there_o be_v no_o kind_n of_o beast_n whatsoever_o nor_o yet_o of_o any_o other_o creature_n unto_o which_o he_o do_v not_o in_o some_o sort_n transform_v himself_o by_o his_o affection_n and_o by_o his_o manner_n and_o vice_n for_o when_o he_o please_v he_o transform_v himself_o one_o while_n

from_o the_o other_o and_o as_o he_o can_v at_o his_o pleasure_n transform_v himself_o into_o a_o angel_n so_o do_v he_o likewise_o turn_v himself_o into_o a_o devil_n monster_n it_o be_v not_o then_o altogether_o void_a of_o reason_n that_o plato_n say_v that_o the_o nature_n of_o man_n be_v as_o it_o be_v a_o monstrous_a nature_n yea_o he_o compare_v it_o to_o a_o monster_n who_o uppermost_a

office_n sake_n next_o he_o say_v that_o the_o breast_n resemble_v a_o lion_n because_o he_o take_v the_o heart_n to_o be_v the_o seat_n of_o the_o vital_a power_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o also_o of_o the_o affection_n that_o often_o may_v well_o be_v liken_v to_o a_o lion_n and_o to_o furious_a beast_n last_o he_o compare_v the_o low_a part_n to_o dog_n because_o that_o part_n be_v appoint_v to_o be_v the_o seat_n of_o the_o natural_a and_o nourish_a power_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o of_o the_o generative_a virtue_n as_o that_o which_o be_v very_o brutish_a and_o give_v to_o all_o carnal_a

have_v affection_n hold_v of_o their_o nature_n this_o also_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n so_o often_o compare_v man_n to_o sundry_a sort_n of_o beast_n to_o teach_v we_o that_o they_o be_v as_o it_o be_v transform_v into_o they_o and_o into_o hideous_a and_o horrible_a monster_n to_o the_o end_n they_o may_v be_v the_o more_o ashamed_a of_o
