- summary: He is upbraided by some ( who perhaps are affected Antiquaries , and make priority of time the measure of excellence ) for gaining his renown by the imitation of Hom●r : Whilest others ( no less bold with that ancient Guide ) say , He hath so often led him into Heaven and Hell , till by conversation with Gods and Ghosts , he sometimes deprives us of those natural probabilities in Story , which are instructive to humane life : And others affirm ( if it be not irreverence to record their opinion ) That even in Wit , he seems deficient by many omissions ; as if he had design'd a penance of gravity to himself and to posterity : And by their observing that continued gravity , me thinks they look upon him , as on a Musitian composing of Anthems ; whose excellence consists more in the solemness , than in the fancy ; and upon the body of his Work , as on the body of a Giant , whose force hath more of strength , than quickness , and of patience than activity . I have been thus hardy to call him to account for the choice of his Argument , not meerly as it was Story , but because the actions he recorded were so eminent , and so near his time , that he could not assist Truth with such ornaments as Poets , for usefull pleasure , have allowed her , le●t the ●ained complection might render the true suspected .

- summary: Ph. Would you have every Man to every other Man alledge for Law his own particular Reason ? There is not amongst Men an Universal Reason agreed upon in any Nation , besides the Reason of him that hath the Soveraign Power ; yet though his Reason be but the Reason of one Man , yet it is set up to supply the place of that Universal Reason , which is expounded to us by our Saviour in the Gospel , and consequently our King is to us the Legislator both of Statute-Law , and of Common-Law . Ph. As for the Statutes they are always Law , and Reason also ; for they are made by the Assent of all the Kingdom , but Precedents are Judgments one contrary to another ; I mean divers Men , in divers Ages , upon the same case give divers Judgments .

- summary: Why therefore may not men that foresee the Benefit of Concord , continually maintain the same without compulsion , as well as they ? To which I answer , That amongst other living Creatures , there is no Question of Precedence in their owne Species , nor strife about Honour , or acknowledgement of one anothers wisdome , as there is amongst Men , from whence arise Envie and Hatred of one towards another , and from thence Sedition and War . And the difficulty is this ; We have amongst us the Word of God for the Rule of our Actions : Now if wee shall subiect our selves to men also , obliging our selves to do such Actions , as shall be by them commanded , when the Commands of God and Man shall differ , we are to obey God , rather then man ; And consequently , the Covenant of general Obedience to man is unlaw●ull .

For Bodies that are but Contiguous , with any little force are parted ; but by this compounded Motion ( because every point of the body makes an equal Line in equal time , and every Line crosses all the rest ) one part cannot be separated from another , without disturbing the Motion of all the other parts at once .

- summary: By these words , God has no parts , thus explained , together with the part of the Creed which was at that time agreed on , many of those Heresies which were antecedent to that first General Council , were condemned ; as that of Menes , who appeared about thirty years before the Reign of Constantine , by the first Article , I believe in one God ; though in other words it seems to me to remain still in the Doctrine of the Church of Rome , which so ascribeth a Liberty of the Will to Men , as that their Will and Purpose to commit sin , should not proceed from the Cause of all things , God ; but originally from themselves , or from the Devil . Constantine himself , at the passing of this Creed , took notice of it for a hard word ; but yet approved of it , saying , That in a divine Mystery it was fit to use divina & arcana Verba ; that is , divine words , and hidden from humane understanding ; calling that word 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 divine , not because it was in the divine Scripture , ( for it is not there ) but because it was to him Arcanum , that is , not sufficiently understood .

- summary: King , they thought was but a Title of the highest honour , which Gentlemen , Knight , Baron , Earl , Luke were but steps to ascend to with the help of Riches , and had no Rule of Equity , but Precedents and Custom , and he was thought wisest and fittest to be chosen for a Parliament , who was most averse to the granting of Subsidies , or other publick Payments . B. After the Pacification broken what succeeded next ? A. The King sent Duke Hamilton with Commission and Instructions into Scotland to call a Parliament there , ( but all was to no purpose ) and to use all the means he could otherwise , but the Scots were resolved to raise an Army , and to enter into England , to deliver ( as they pretended ) their grievances to his Majesty in a Petition because the King ( they said ) being in the hands of evil Councellors , they could not otherwise obtain their right ; but the truth is , they were otherwise animated to it by the Democratical , and Presbyterian English , with a promise of Reward , and hope of Plunder : some have said that Duke Hamilton also did rather encourage them to , than deterr them from the Expedition ; as hoping by h● disorder of the two Kingdoms to bring to pass that which he had formerly been accused to endeavour to make himself King of Scotland ; but I take this to have been a very uncharitable Censure upon so little ground to judge so hardly of a man , that afterwards lost his life in seeking to procure the liberty of the King his Master .

- summary: 1. HAving spoken of the Powers and Acts of the Mind , both cognitive and motive , considered in every Man by himself , without Relation to other● ; it will fall fitly into this Chapter , to speak of the Effects of the same Power one upon another ; which Effects are also the Signs , by which one taketh notice what another conceiveth and intendeth . For the understanding of what I mean by the Power Cognitive , we must remember and acknowledge that there be in our Minds continually certain Images or Conceptions of the Things without us , insomuch that if a Man could be alive , and all the rest of the World annihilated , he should nevertheless retain the Image thereof ; and all those Things which he had before seen or perceived in it ; every one by his own Experience knowing , that the Absence or Destruction of things once imagined doth not cause the Absence or Destruction of the Imagination it self ; This Imagery and Representations of the Qualities of the Thing without , is that we call our Conception , Imagination , Ideas , Notice or Knowledg of them ; and the Faculty or Power by which we are capable of such Knowledge , is that I here call Cognitive Power , or Conceptive , the Power of Knowing or Conceiving .

Opinion of Ghosts , Ignorance of second Causes , Devotion towards what men fear , and taking of things Casual for Prognosticks , consisteth the natural Seed of Religion ; which by reason of the different Fancies , Passions and Judgements of several men , hath grown up into Ceremonies so different , that those which are used by one man , are for the most part ridiculous to another .

- summary: Men are not therefore put to death , or punished for that their theft proceedeth from election , but because it was noxious and contrary to mens preservation , and the punishment conducing to the preservation of the rest , in as much as to punish those that do voluntary hurt , and none else , frameth and maketh mens wills such as men would have them . Now when I say the action was necessary , I do not say it was done against the will of the doer , but with his will , and necessarily , because mans will , that is every volition or act of the will and purpose of man had a sufficient , and therefore a necessary cause , and consequently every voluntary action was necessitated .

- summary: B. Because as it descends , and is already in motion , it receiveth a new impression from the same cause , which is the Air , whereof as part mounteth , part also must descend , supposing as we have done the plenitude of the world . B. Suppose there be Vacuum in that Air into which the Marble you pull off is to succeed , shall there be no Vacuum in the Air that was round about the two Marbles when they touched ? Why cannot that Vacuum come into the place between ? Air cannot succeed in an instant , because a body ; and consequently cannot be moved through the least space in an instant .
