Por my part Jam t00 dull to perveave the difference be-
eveenthose remards used ro brute beasts, and those that are
used to men. IF ther be not properly called remards and pu-
nistments let him sive themtheir proper name. Et may be he
ill say he has done ic in callins them annalogical, yet for any
thine ihac can be understood thereby, be misht have called
ehem Parasosical, or Typical, or Topicalis he had pleased.
Te adds further, that vhereas he had said, that tbe action of
Bees aud Spiders vere done withont consultation, by meerin-
stinct ofnature, and by a determination of their fancies, L
missaleadee bim, and say hemade their indivianall Actions
necessary. J have onely this to ansver that secine he
sayes, that by instinet of nature their fancies vere determined
10 speciat hinds of mores, E might justly inferre they vere de-
termined every one of themtosome more, and every morte is
an individual action. for akind oF work in the general is no
morke. Bet these their individual actions be saith are con-
rinsene, and cheretore nocnececlarr; which is no cood cox-
sequence: for if he mean by conrinsene that vhich has no
cause, hespeabethnoras a Christian, but maketh a Deity of
Forinne, wbich I verily think be dothnot. But if he mean
byit, that mhereof henoWethnot the cause, the consequenee
is naneht.
The means nhereby Setring. dogs, and C. oy. ductes, and P a-
rars are taneht to do what theydo, is by cheir backs by cheir
Bellies, by cherod, oc by chemorsell, Whichhave indced a
