of_o mankind_n be_v by_o the_o same_o wise_a and_o provident_a power_n and_o that_o as_o the_o humane_a nature_n be_v accommodate_v to_o itself_o so_o this_o world_n be_v accommodate_v to_o the_o exigence_n and_o convenience_n of_o the_o humane_a nature_n when_o i_o have_v consider_v the_o admirable_a congruity_n of_o all_o the_o part_n of_o christian_a religion_n and_o how_o it_o correspond_v and_o be_v adapt_v to_o the_o convenience_n and_o condition_n of_o the_o humane_a nature_n and_o how_o those_o antecedent_n prophecy_n promise_n and_o direction_n of_o religion_n in_o the_o old_a testament_n bear_v a_o admirable_a congruity_n to_o the_o model_n of_o religion_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n notwithstanding_o the_o vast_a distance_n between_o the_o manifestation_n of_o they_o and_o how_o all_o the_o scheme_n of_o divine_a dispensation_n from_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o world_n bear_v a_o admirable_a accommodation_n each_o to_o other_o and_o to_o the_o evangelical_n doctrine_n it_o give_v we_o a_o strong_a moral_a evidence_n that_o the_o same_o one_o god_n be_v the_o author_n of_o this_o religion_n that_o although_o there_o seem_v a_o diversity_n and_o variety_n in_o the_o administration_n yet_o when_o i_o look_v upon_o they_o together_o compare_v the_o congruity_n of_o what_o go_v before_o to_o what_o follow_v it_o seem_v one_o most_o beautiful_a piece_n fit_v and_o accommodate_v in_o every_o part_n to_o the_o other_o and_o hereby_o i_o satisfy_v myself_o that_o it_o be_v the_o true_a religion_n that_o it_o be_v all_o of_o one_o piece_n and_o one_o common_a author_n of_o it_o namely_o the_o god_n of_o truth_n and_o so_o when_o i_o consider_v the_o humane_a nature_n and_o the_o admirable_a accommodation_n that_o one_o part_n thereof_o have_v to_o the_o other_o and_o also_o look_v upon_o the_o mundus_fw-la aspectabilis_fw-la especial_o this_o low_a world_n wherewith_o we_o be_v by_o reason_n of_o its_o vicinity_n best_o acquaint_v and_o observe_v how_o admirable_o the_o same_o be_v accommodate_v to_o the_o animal_n life_n of_o man_n and_o although_o the_o part_n thereof_o be_v distinct_a various_a distant_a yet_o there_o be_v draw_v from_o it_o line_n of_o accommodation_n and_o communication_n to_o the_o use_v of_o the_o humane_a nature_n so_o exact_o and_o apposite_o that_o i_o can_v choose_v but_o acknowledge_v one_o common_a author_n both_o of_o the_o great_a and_o lesser_a world_n and_o such_o a_o author_n as_o make_v and_o dispose_v all_o thing_n by_o the_o high_a wisdom_n and_o the_o wise_a choice_n if_o there_o have_v be_v divers_a author_n of_o the_o great_a and_o lesser_a world_n there_o can_v never_o have_v be_v a_o accommodation_n of_o thing_n so_o disparate_a one_o to_o another_o unless_o both_o have_v act_v in_o subordination_n to_o one_o common_a third_n be_v or_o by_o one_o common_a counsel_n again_o it_o be_v not_o possible_a that_o casualty_n or_o chance_n can_v have_v accommodate_v thing_n of_o various_a kind_n one_o to_o another_o if_o chance_n can_v make_v a_o beam_n of_o a_o house_n and_o can_v have_v make_v tenant_n at_o either_o end_n yet_o it_o be_v not_o possible_a to_o conceive_v that_o chance_n can_v cast_v it_o to_o be_v just_a of_o a_o fit_a length_n to_o answer_v the_o congruity_n of_o its_o contignation_n to_o another_o piece_n of_o timber_n or_o fit_v the_o mortise_n of_o other_o piece_n of_o timber_n to_o those_o tenant_n or_o fit_v the_o particle_n and_o scantlet_n to_o answer_v just_a one_o another_o this_o must_v of_o necessity_n require_v a_o workman_n that_o work_v by_o understanding_n choice_n and_o appropriation_n because_o it_o require_v accommodation_n of_o several_a thing_n of_o several_a kind_n to_o one_o end_v by_o several_a mean_n thus_o therefore_o when_o i_o see_v the_o admirable_a accommodation_n of_o humane_a nature_n to_o its_o own_o existence_n and_o convenience_n the_o admirable_a accommodation_n therein_o of_o thing_n of_o different_a nature_n one_o to_o another_o as_o organ_n to_o faculty_n sinew_n to_o bone_n nerve_n to_o muscle_n spirit_n to_o nerve_n when_o i_o see_v the_o excellent_a accommodation_n of_o this_o low_a world_n especial_o to_o the_o humane_a nature_n although_o they_o be_v in_o themselves_o several_a and_o heterogeneal_a i_o can_v without_o violence_n to_o my_o own_o observation_n experience_n and_o reason_n i_o say_v i_o can_v but_o attribute_v the_o first_o formation_n of_o humane_a nature_n yea_o and_o of_o all_o the_o universe_n to_o one_o most_o wise_a intelligent_a powerful_a be_v who_o do_v all_o thing_n according_a to_o the_o counsel_n of_o his_o will_n after_o the_o most_o wise_a and_o excellent_a idea_n of_o his_o unsearchable_a understanding_n cap._n v._n concern_v the_o nature_n of_o that_o intelligent_a agent_n that_o first_o form_v the_o humane_a nature_n and_o some_o objection_n against_o the_o inference_n above_o make_v and_o their_o answer_n have_v in_o the_o forego_n chapter_n reduce_v the_o origination_n of_o mankind_n to_o a_o intelligent_a efficient_a effect_v it_o per_fw-la modum_fw-la efficientis_fw-la voluntarii_fw-la &_o per_fw-la intentionem_fw-la i_o shall_v in_o this_o place_n inquire_v what_o kind_n of_o intelligent_a efficient_a this_o be_v for_o among_o intelligent_a being_n there_o be_v one_o primum_fw-la the_o glorious_a god_n who_o understanding_n power_n and_o goodness_n be_v infinite_a there_o be_v also_o acknowledge_v by_o the_o heathen_a intelligentiae_fw-la à_fw-la primo_fw-la those_o which_o aristotle_n call_v by_o the_o name_n of_o separate_a intelligence_n plato_n call_v dii_fw-la ex_fw-la diis_fw-la and_o we_o common_o call_v angel_n very_o glorious_a and_o powerful_a creature_n which_o plato_n take_v into_o the_o business_n of_o the_o creation_n of_o man_n as_o to_o the_o corporeal_a frame_n and_o it_o seem_v to_o be_v that_o the_o effection_n of_o the_o humane_a nature_n in_o any_o part_n thereof_o be_v not_o attributable_a to_o the_o angel_n neither_o as_o instrumental_a much_o less_o as_o principal_a cause_n 1._o as_o to_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n it_o seem_v beyond_o dispute_n for_o that_o be_v a_o create_a substance_n and_o creation_n of_o any_o new_a substance_n be_v a_o infinite_a motion_n be_v not_o within_o the_o power_n of_o any_o finite_a nature_n the_o pretence_n therefore_o rest_v only_o as_o to_o the_o corporeal_a or_o at_o least_o animal_n nature_n 2._o therefore_o i_o say_v that_o the_o formation_n of_o the_o bodily_a much_o less_o the_o animal_n nature_n of_o man_n in_o order_n to_o the_o reception_n of_o the_o soul_n be_v neither_o coordinate_o nor_o instrumental_o the_o work_n of_o angel_n and_o the_o reason_n that_o seem_v sufficient_a to_o make_v out_o this_o truth_n be_v these_o 1._o it_o seem_v utter_o above_o a_o angelical_a power_n to_o organize_v the_o body_n of_o the_o humane_a nature_n for_o though_o it_o be_v true_a that_o in_o the_o establish_a way_n of_o generation_n the_o parent_n who_o be_v inferior_a in_o nature_n to_o angel_n do_v organize_v the_o body_n at_o least_o mediante_a semine_fw-la yet_o that_o be_v do_v in_o the_o virtue_n and_o strength_n of_o the_o ordination_n and_o institution_n of_o almighty_a god_n so_o that_o as_o well_o man_n as_o the_o semen_n genitale_fw-it be_v the_o instrument_n depute_v by_o almighty_a god_n in_o virtue_n of_o his_o supreme_a power_n to_o propagate_v the_o humane_a nature_n and_o therefore_o since_o the_o first_o formation_n of_o the_o humane_a nature_n be_v a_o new_a formation_n not_o according_a to_o the_o law_n establish_v after_o in_o nature_n the_o first_o production_n of_o mankind_n be_v immediate_o by_o the_o almighty_a power_n and_o not_o by_o the_o power_n of_o any_o subordinate_a intelligence_n 2._o again_o it_o can_v not_o possible_o be_v but_o that_o the_o humane_a nature_n must_v be_v complete_v in_o a_o instant_n for_o how_o be_v it_o conceptible_a that_o first_o there_o shall_v be_v corpus_fw-la formatum_fw-la with_o all_o the_o organ_n vessel_n blood_n and_o spirit_n dispose_v and_o order_v in_o their_o several_a cell_n and_o motion_n unless_o man_n have_v be_v then_o at_o the_o same_o time_n animate_v as_o well_o as_o organise_v for_o the_o outward_a shape_n or_o stature_n of_o a_o man_n be_v no_o more_o a_o fit_a receptacle_n of_o a_o animal_n much_o less_o of_o a_o rational_a life_n than_o a_o statue_n of_o wax_n or_o stone_n the_o same_o hand_n therefore_o that_o animate_v form_v and_o fashion_v also_o the_o same_o humane_a body_n in_o the_o same_o moment_n by_o virtue_n of_o the_o volition_n determination_n or_o faciamus_fw-la of_o the_o divine_a will._n 3._o as_o we_o have_v no_o manner_n of_o evidence_n of_o the_o angelical_a concurrence_n or_o instrumentality_n in_o the_o formation_n of_o man_n or_o of_o any_o of_o the_o low_a animal_n so_o there_o be_v no_o necessity_n at_o all_o of_o such_o a_o supposition_n and_o we_o be_v not_o to_o multiply_v cause_n without_o necessity_n for_o as_o the_o bare_a determination_n of_o the_o most_o powerful_a and_o efficacious_a
