Abstract

The human soul, which though it enjoy an absolute freedom in its own nature, yet when it is in a state of conjunction, it is very much influenced, and in a manner determined by the inclinations of the inferior animal faculty, not only as to the individuality, but also to the specification of its actions; that is to say, the body as it is the subject of life and sense, doth not only contribute its assistance to the soul in the form of a particular and internal act, but doth very much dispose it as to what sort and kinds of acts it shall apply to its power, and this not only in manners of morality which regard the will, but sometimes in matters of thought and study, such as have relation to the understanding.
