know_v he_o to_o be_v his_o sovereign_a good_n but_o to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v the_o better_o understand_v this_o whole_a matter_n we_o must_v note_v appetite_n that_o there_o be_v three_o kind_n of_o appetite_n among_o the_o creature_n which_o be_v common_o call_v the_o one_o natural_a the_o other_o sensitive_a and_o the_o three_o voluntary_a appetite_n as_o for_o the_o natural_a we_o may_v divide_v it_o into_o two_o sort_n for_o there_o be_v one_o general_a to_o all_o creature_n whether_o live_v or_o without_o life_n which_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o natural_a inclination_n without_o any_o action_n proceed_v from_o any_o soul_n or_o life_n as_o when_o we_o say_v that_o heavy_a thing_n desire_v to_o go_v downward_o and_o light_a thing_n upward_o as_o we_o see_v it_o in_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o element_n which_o be_v without_o soul_n and_o life_n but_o beside_o this_o natural_a appetite_n common_a to_o all_o creature_n there_o be_v a_o other_o that_o have_v action_n join_v with_o the_o inclination_n which_o nevertheless_o proceed_v not_o of_o any_o sense_n this_o appetite_n be_v proper_a to_o the_o vegetative_a and_o nourish_a soul_n and_o life_n whereof_o plant_n be_v partaker_n for_o we_o see_v by_o experience_n that_o they_o have_v a_o natural_a appetite_n to_o draw_v unto_o they_o and_o to_o retain_v that_o which_o be_v meet_v for_o their_o nature_n and_o food_n and_o to_o expel_v the_o contrary_n for_o if_o a_o plant_n wax_v dry_a it_o desire_v to_o be_v water_v and_o draw_v and_o keep_v humour_n and_o moisture_n necessary_a for_o itself_o we_o see_v the_o like_a in_o man_n body_n for_o when_o the_o member_n want_v nourishment_n they_o suck_v the_o vein_n and_o the_o vein_n draw_v unto_o they_o blood_n and_o as_o the_o member_n desire_v their_o food_n so_o they_o desire_v to_o be_v unburthen_v when_o they_o have_v too_o much_o the_o appetite_n which_o we_o call_v hunger_n &_o thirst_n thirst_n may_v be_v refer_v to_o this_o kind_n of_o natural_a appetite_n if_o this_o be_v except_v that_o we_o can_v not_o say_v it_o be_v without_o sense_n and_o feeling_n for_o beside_o the_o desire_n of_o eat_v and_o drink_v there_o be_v withal_o a_o sense_n of_o this_o attraction_n whereby_o the_o member_n suck_v the_o vein_n and_o the_o vein_n the_o blood_n and_o this_o sense_n be_v not_o without_o grief_n and_o displeasure_n so_o that_o every_o live_a creature_n be_v stir_v up_o to_o seek_v for_o his_o food_n and_o to_o take_v his_o refection_n whereupon_o we_o may_v divide_v this_o natural_a appetite_n also_o into_o two_o

of_o man_n body_n and_o of_o the_o manifestation_n by_o little_a and_o little_a of_o the_o power_n of_o the_o soul_n namely_o that_o as_o long_o as_o the_o child_n be_v in_o his_o mother_n womb_n he_o

that_o be_v fashion_v have_v sense_n and_o feeling_n much_o like_a to_o that_o sense_n of_o the_o aforesaid_a creature_n which_o be_v partaker_n of_o the_o nature_n both_o of_o plant_n and_o of_o

that_o be_v join_v with_o this_o kind_n of_o sense_n of_o which_o i_o speak_v even_o now_o and_o as_o for_o the_o appetite_n of_o the_o other_o member_n which_o serve_v not_o for_o the_o nourish_a of_o the_o whole_a body_n but_o only_o for_o themselves_o it_o be_v more_o like_a to_o that_o appetite_n that_o be_v in_o plant_n for_o they_o feel_v neither_o hunger_n nor_o thirst_n as_o other_o

whatsoever_o he_o please_v but_o this_o abstinence_n in_o the_o mean_a time_n will_v not_o take_v from_o he_o that_o appetite_n which_o he_o have_v but_o will_v increase_v it_o the_o more_o for_o it_o

that_o all_o knowledge_n be_v give_v of_o god_n to_o this_o end_n knowledge_n to_o desire_v that_o good_a which_o it_o know_v and_o in_o desire_v to_o follow_v the_o same_o until_o it_o have_v join_v

only_o so_o far_o forth_o as_o we_o do_v apply_v it_o and_o join_v ourselves_o thereunto_o so_o fare_v it_o also_o with_o evil_a and_o because_o god_n have_v not_o create_v beast_n to_o enjoy_v any_o

which_o after_o enter_v upon_o his_o nature_n by_o the_o work_n of_o satan_n in_o he_o 5._o for_o this_o cause_n we_o see_v that_o he_o cause_v his_o sun_n to_o shine_v aswell_o upon_o the_o evil_a

man_n in_o regard_n of_o the_o good_a he_o have_v put_v into_o they_o which_o be_v wrought_v chief_o through_o the_o benefit_n of_o spiritual_a regeneration_n the_o remnant_n of_o which_o good_a he_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

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

when_o love_n be_v reciprocal_a and_o mutual_a friendship_n so_o that_o he_o which_o be_v love_v do_v also_o love_n for_o his_o part_n the_o party_n that_o love_v he_o then_o be_v friendship_n breed_v

bare_a unto_o he_o to_o confound_v the_o slanderer_n and_o to_o propound_v to_o every_o one_o in_o the_o person_n of_o his_o servant_n job_n a_o example_n and_o pattern_n of_o true_a fear_n love_n of_o true_a love_n of_o true_a faith_n and_o of_o true_a patience_n we_o see_v then_o that_o there_o be_v two_o sort_n of_o hire_a love_n because_o it_o may_v be_v such_o not_o only_o in_o respect_n of_o he_o that_o receive_v a_o benefit_n but_o of_o he_o also_o that_o bestow_v it_o when_o he_o do_v it_o for_o the_o cause_n aforesaid_a but_o he_o that_o do_v good_a only_o of_o charity_n and_o

therefore_o he_o have_v a_o more_o sure_a and_o excellent_a beginning_n of_o his_o love_n namely_o his_o own_o goodness_n and_o will_n than_o he_o have_v that_o receive_v the_o good_a who_o love_n begin_v at_o need_n and_o want_v that_o love_n also_o which_o be_v ground_v upon_o goodness_n go_v on_o more_o easy_o and_o with_o great_a courage_n from_o good_a to_o better_v then_o that_o which_o come_v from_o necessity_n proceed_v to_o good_a for_o he_o that_o do_v good_a impart_v the_o same_o frank_o of_o his_o own_o good_a will_n because_o he_o will_v do_v so_o and_o therefore_o it_o redound_v to_o his_o great_a honour_n but_o he_o that_o receive_v a_o good_a turn_n take_v it_o because_o he_o have_v need_n of_o it_o and_o therefore_o he_o must_v acknowledge_v himself_o bind_v to_o

not_o only_o love_v and_o charitable_a but_o even_o love_v itself_o for_o as_o he_o be_v the_o creator_n of_o all_o thing_n so_o he_o love_v perfect_v and_o preseve_v they_o all_o and_o turn_v they_o

first_o be_v that_o the_o word_n of_o god_n make_v express_v mention_n of_o the_o chief_a faculty_n and_o power_n which_o most_o proper_o belong_v to_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o be_v give_v unto_o it_o more_o special_o to_o know_v and_o honour_n god_n by_o and_o which_o appertain_v not_o only_o to_o this_o life_n but_o also_o to_o the_o other_o the_o second_o be_v because_o these_o natural_a power_n may_v be_v comprehend_v under_o the_o vital_a and_o under_o the_o seat_n of_o the_o affection_n by_o reason_n of_o that_o communication_n which_o they_o have_v both_o with_o the_o spirit_n and_o with_o the_o humour_n use_v by_o the_o soul_n in_o the_o body_n not_o only_o to_o nourish_v it_o and_o preserve_v life_n in_o it_o but_o also_o to_o serve_v for_o all_o other_o thing_n speak_v of_o before_o the_o three_o reason_n be_v that_o forasmuch_o as_o these_o natural_a power_n be_v more_o terrestrial_a than_o celestial_a and_o more_o corporal_a than_o spiritual_a and_o the_o use_n and_o profit_n of_o they_o end_v with_o this_o humane_a life_n we_o may_v comprehend_v they_o under_o the_o name_n of_o body_n as_o thing_n more_o near_o join_v to_o it_o for_o the_o use_n of_o this_o life_n and_o of_o which_o it_o shall_v have_v no_o need_n after_o this_o life_n when_o it_o shall_v be_v make_v incorruptible_a and_o immortal_a and_o because_o this_o power_n of_o the_o soul_n appear_v more_o in_o this_o life_n than_o any_o of_o the_o rest_n therefore_o it_o be_v better_a know_v for_o this_o cause_n the_o name_n of_o soul_n be_v oftentimes_o take_v not_o only_o for_o this_o natural_a power_n which_o we_o call_v vegetative_a and_o nutritive_a but_o also_o for_o the_o life_n itself_o and_o for_o all_o the_o commodity_n and_o desire_n thereof_o yea_o for_o the_o whole_a estate_n of_o life_n we_o may_v call_v to_o mind_n what_o we_o hear_v before_o of_o the_o soul_n which_o be_v in_o the_o blood_n and_o when_o reuben_n say_v to_o his_o brethren_n that_o will_v have_v slay_v joseph_n 21._o let_v we_o not_o strike_v his_o soul_n it_o be_v as_o much_o as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v let_v we_o not_o kill_v the_o soul_n now_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o the_o soul_n can_v neither_o be_v slay_v nor_o strike_v therefore_o by_o the_o soul_n he_o mean_v the_o life_n and_o so_o his_o speech_n be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v let_v we_o not_o take_v his_o life_n from_o he_o as_o himself_o declare_v it_o by_o and_o by_o after_o in_o the_o verse_n follow_v where_o he_o say_v shed_v not_o blood_n also_o when_o moses_n speak_v of_o the_o law_n that_o require_v punishment_n like_a to_o the_o evil_n commit_v as_o he_o say_v eye_n for_o eye_n tooth_n for_o tooth_n hand_n for_o hand_n and_o foot_n for_o foot_n so_o he_o say_v soul_n for_o soul_n 21._o that_o be_v life_n for_o life_n and_o to_o seek_v the_o soul_n of_o one_o in_o many_o place_n of_o scripture_n signify_v to_o lie_v in_o wait_n for_o the_o life_n and_o to_o pursue_v it_o unto_o death_n 21._o as_o it_o be_v write_v of_o the_o enemy_n of_o jeremy_n and_o of_o herod_n against_o christ_n jesus_n 20._o there_o be_v infinite_a such_o like_a place_n both_o in_o the_o old_a and_o
