our_o freedom_n on_o its_o respect_n but_o whereas_o this_o inward_a sensation_n be_v sometime_o absent_a from_o our_o mind_n and_o we_o consult_v only_o what_o confuse_a remain_v it_o have_v leave_v in_o our_o memory_n we_o may_v by_o the_o consideration_n of_o abstract_a reason_n which_o keep_v we_o from_o a_o inward_a feel_n persuade_v ourselves_o that_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o man_n to_o be_v free_a just_o as_o a_o stoic_a who_o in_o want_n of_o nothing_o and_o philosophize_v at_o his_o case_n may_v imagine_v that_o pain_n be_v no_o evil_a because_o the_o internal_a sense_n he_o have_v of_o himself_o do_v not_o actual_o convince_v he_o of_o the_o contrary_a and_o so_o he_o may_v prove_v like_o seneca_n by_o reason_n in_o one_o sense_n most_o true_a that_o it_o be_v a_o contradiction_n for_o the_o wise_a man_n to_o be_v miserable_a but_o though_o our_o self-consciousness_n be_v insufficient_a to_o convince_v we_o of_o our_o freedom_n yet_o reason_n may_v evince_v as_o much_o for_o since_o the_o light_n of_o reason_n assure_v we_o that_o god_n act_v only_o for_o himself_o and_o that_o he_o can_v give_v no_o motion_n to_o we_o but_o what_o must_v tend_v towards_o he_o the_o impression_n towards_o good_a in_o general_n may_v be_v irresistible_a but_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o that_o which_o we_o have_v for_o particular_a good_n must_v be_v necessary_o free_a for_o if_o it_o be_v invincible_a we_o shall_v have_v no_o motion_n to_o carry_v we_o to_o god_n though_o he_o give_v it_o only_o for_o himself_o and_o we_o shall_v be_v constrain_v to_o settle_v on_o particular_a good_n though_o god_n order_n and_o reason_n forbid_v we_o so_o that_o sin_n can_v not_o be_v lay_v at_o our_o door_n and_o god_n will_v be_v the_o real_a cause_n of_o our_o corruption_n forasmuch_o as_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v free_a but_o pure_o natural_a and_o altogether_o necessary_a agent_n thus_o though_o inward_a sensation_n do_v not_o teach_v we_o we_o be_v free_a reason_n will_v discover_v it_o be_v necessary_a for_o man_n to_o be_v create_v so_o if_o we_o suppose_v he_o capable_a of_o desire_v particular_a good_n and_o only_o capable_a of_o desire_v they_o through_o the_o impression_n or_o motion_n which_o god_n perpetual_o give_v we_o for_o himself_o which_o likewise_o may_v be_v prove_v by_o reason_n but_o our_o capacity_n to_o suffer_v pain_n can_v be_v prove_v this_o way_n but_o can_v only_o be_v discover_v by_o conscience_n or_o inward_a sensation_n and_o yet_o no_o man_n can_v doubt_v but_o a_o man_n be_v liable_a to_o suffer_v pain_n as_o we_o know_v not_o our_o soul_n by_o any_o clear_a idea_n we_o have_v of_o it_o as_o i_o have_v before_o explain_v so_o it_o be_v in_o vain_a to_o try_v to_o discover_v what_o it_o be_v in_o we_o that_o terminate_v the_o action_n which_o god_n impress_n or_o that_o yield_v to_o be_v conquer_v by_o a_o resistible_a determination_n and_o which_o we_o may_v change_v by_o our_o will_n or_o by_o our_o impression_n towards_o all_o good_a and_o our_o union_n with_o he_o who_o include_v the_o idea_n of_o all_o being_n for_o in_o short_a we_o have_v no_o clear_a idea_n of_o any_o modification_n of_o our_o soul_n nothing_o but_o our_o internal_a sense_n can_v teach_v we_o that_o we_o be_v and_o what_o we_o be_v and_o this_o only_o must_v be_v consult_v to_o convince_v we_o we_o be_v free_a and_o its_o answer_n be_v clear_a and_o satisfactory_a enough_o upon_o the_o point_n when_o we_o actual_o propose_v to_o ourselves_o any_o particular_a good_a for_o no_o man_n whatever_o can_v doubt_v whether_o he_o be_v invinsible_o incline_v to_o eat_v of_o a_o fruit_n or_o avoid_v some_o slight_a inconsiderable_a pain_n but_o if_o instead_o of_o harken_v to_o our_o inward_a sensation_n we_o attend_v to_o abstract_a reason_n which_o throw_v we_o off_o the_o contemplation_n of_o ourselves_o possible_o lose_v sight_n of_o they_o we_o may_v forget_v that_o we_o be_v in_o be_v and_o try_v to_o reconcile_v the_o prescience_n of_o god_n and_o his_o absolute_a power_n over_o we_o with_o our_o liberty_n we_o shall_v plunge_v into_o a_o error_n that_o will_v overturn_v all_o the_o

defective_a be_v strong_a enough_o to_o give_v a_o great_a many_o trouble_n to_o evade_v the_o hate_v of_o god_n say_v they_o be_v a_o action_n which_o do_v not_o partake_v of_o good_a and_o therefore_o be_v all_o the_o sinner_n god_n have_v no_o part_n in_o it_o and_o consequent_o man_n act_n and_o give_v himself_o new_a modification_n by_o a_o action_n which_o do_v not_o come_v from_o god_n i_o answer_v that_o sinner_n hate_v not_o god_n but_o because_o they_o free_o and_o false_o judge_v that_o he_o be_v evil_a for_o good_a consider_v as_o such_o can_v be_v the_o object_n of_o

be_v their_o make_v a_o undue_a use_n of_o their_o liberty_n for_o be_v not_o convince_v with_o irresistible_a evidence_n that_o he_o be_v not_o good_a they_o ought_v not_o to_o believe_v he_o evil_a nor_o consequent_o to_o hate_v he_o in_o hatred_n two_o thing_n may_v be_v distinguish_v viz._n the_o sensation_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o motion_n of_o the_o will._n this_o sensation_n can_v be_v evil_a for_o it_o be_v a_o modification_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o have_v neither_o moral_a good_a nor_o ill_a in_o it_o nor_o be_v the_o motion_n more_o corrupt_a since_o it_o be_v not_o

consequent_o exceed_v great_a but_o in_o answer_n to_o this_o i_o say_v first_o that_o pure_o intellectual_a joy_n leave_v the_o mind_n to_o its_o entire_a liberty_n and_o take_v up_o but_o very_o little_a of_o its_o think_v capacity_n wherein_o it_o differ_v from_o sensible_a joy_n which_o common_o disturb_v the_o reason_n and_o lessen_v the_o liberty_n i_o answer_v second_o that_o the_o

have_v perfect_v his_o felicity_n if_o he_o have_v persevere_v in_o his_o state_n of_o innocency_n thus_o his_o joy_n be_v not_o excessive_a nay_o it_o be_v or_o ought_v to_o have_v be_v temper_v with_o a_o alloy_n of_o fear_n for_o he_o ought_v to_o have_v be_v diffident_a of_o himself_o i_o answer_v last_o that_o joy_n do_v not_o always_o intend_v the_o mind_n upon_o the_o true_a cause_n that_o produce_v it_o as_o a_o sense_n of_o joy_n arise_v upon_o the_o contemplation_n of_o one_o be_v own_o perfection_n it_o be_v natural_a to_o believe_v that_o prospect_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o it_o for_o when_o a_o thing_n constant_o follow_v from_o another_o it_o be_v natural_o look_v upon_o as_o one_o of_o its_o effect_n thus_o a_o man_n consider_v himself_o as_o the_o author_n of_o his_o own_o present_a happiness_n he_o find_v a_o secret_a complacency_n in_o his_o natural_a perfection_n he_o love_v himself_o and_o think_v not_o of_o he_o who_o operate_v in_o he_o in_o a_o imperceptible_a manner_n it_o be_v true_a adam_n more_o distinct_o know_v than_o the_o great_a of_o philosopher_n that_o god_n alone_o be_v able_a to_o act_v in_o he_o and_o produce_v that_o sense_n of_o joy_n which_o he_o feel_v upon_o the_o consideration_n of_o his_o happiness_n and_o perfection_n this_o he_o know_v clear_o by_o the_o light_n of_o reason_n when_o he_o attend_v to_o it_o but_o not_o by_o any_o sensation_n which_o on_o the_o contrary_a teach_v he_o that_o his_o joy_n be_v a_o consequence_n of_o his_o perfection_n see_v he_o have_v the_o constant_a sense_n of_o it_o and_o that_o without_o any_o application_n on_o his_o part_n and_o so_o this_o sensation_n may_v lead_v he_o to_o consider_v his_o own_o perfection_n and_o take_v pleasure_n in_o himself_o if_o he_o either_o forget_v or_o any_o way_n lose_v sight_n of_o he_o who_o operation_n in_o we_o be_v not_o of_o a_o sensible_a nature_n so_o far_o will_v this_o joy_n have_v be_v from_o render_v he_o impeccable_a as_o be_v pretend_v that_o on_o the_o contrary_a it_o may_v probable_o be_v the_o occasion_n of_o his_o pride_n and_o fall_n and_o it_o be_v for_o this_o reason_n that_o i_o say_v in_o this_o chapter_n that_o adam_n ought_v to_o have_v take_v care_v not_o to_o have_v suffer_v the_o capacity_n of_o his_o mind_n to_o be_v fill_v with_o a_o presumptuous_a joy_n kindle_v in_o his_o

answer_v second_o that_o it_o be_v not_o true_a that_o the_o pleasure_n of_o the_o soul_n be_v the_o same_o thing_n with_o its_o motion_n and_o its_o love_n pleasure_n and_o love_n be_v mode_n of_o the_o soul_n existence_n but_o pleasure_n have_v no_o necessary_a relation_n to_o the_o object_n that_o seem_v to_o cause_v it_o and_o love_n be_v necessary_o relate_v unto_o good_n pleasure_n be_v to_o the_o soul_n what_o figure_n be_v to_o body_n and_o motion_n be_v to_o body_n what_o love_n be_v to_o the_o soul_n but_o the_o motion_n of_o a_o body_n be_v very_o different_a from_o its_o figure_n i_o grant_v that_o the_o soul_n which_o have_v a_o constant_a propensity_n to_o good_a advance_n as_o i_o may_v say_v more_o ready_o towards_o it_o when_o instigate_v by_o a_o sense_n of_o pleasure_n that_o when_o discourage_v by_o her_o suffer_a pain_n as_o a_o body_n when_o drive_v run_v easy_o along_o if_o it_o have_v a_o spherical_a than_o if_o it_o have_v a_o cubical_a figure_n but_o the_o figure_n of_o a_o body_n differ_v from_o its_o motion_n and_o it_o may_v be_v spherical_a and_o yet_o remain_v at_o rest_n it_o be_v true_a in_o this_o case_n it_o go_v not_o with_o spirit_n as_o with_o body_n those_o can_v feel_v a_o pleasure_n but_o they_o must_v be_v in_o motion_n because_o god_n who_o only_o make_v and_o preserve_v they_o for_o himself_o drive_v they_o perpetual_o on_o towards_o good_a but_o that_o do_v not_o prove_v that_o the_o pleasure_n of_o the_o soul_n be_v the_o same_o thing_n as_o its_o motion_n for_o two_o thing_n though_o differ_v from_o each_o other_o may_v yet_o be_v always_o find_v inseparable_o together_o i_o answer_v last_o that_o although_o pleasure_n be_v not_o different_a from_o the_o love_n or_o motion_n of_o the_o soul_n yet_o that_o which_o the_o first_o man_n feel_v in_o the_o use_n of_o the_o good_n of_o the_o body_n do_v not_o incline_v he_o to_o the_o love_a body_n it_o be_v true_a pleasure_n carry_v the_o soul_n

only_o can_v act_v upon_o the_o soul_n and_o in_o any_o manner_n make_v it_o happy_a and_o we_o be_v in_o a_o error_n to_o think_v that_o body_n have_v in_o they_o what_o we_o feel_v occasional_o from_o their_o presence_n adam_n before_o his_o sin_n be_v not_o so_o stupid_a as_o to_o imagine_v that_o body_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o his_o pleasure_n be_v not_o carry_v to_o the_o love_n of_o they_o by_o the_o motion_n that_o accompany_v his_o pleasure_n if_o pleasure_n contribute_v to_o the_o fall_n of_o the_o first_o man_n it_o be_v not_o by_o work_v in_o he_o what_o at_o present_a it_o
