Sios ei, nn ra EEnC. G0d made the Wrhole most Beantisul, Entire, Com-
pleat, and sufficient; al aereeine friendly with it sels and its parts;
both. Ihe Nobler and the meaner of them beine alike congruous there-
unto. Whosoever therefore, Srom the Parts thereof will blame the whole-
is an absurd and 2njust censurer. For me oueht te Consider the Parts,
not alon by themselves, bul in reserence to thembole, whether they be
earminious and Aereeable 1o the same. Othermise we saell not blame
ihe Dniverse, but some of ils Paris onty, taken by themselves; as is one
Bould blame the Fair or Zoes os a man, tahine no notice at all of his
Divine Visaee and Conntenance; or omitrins all other animals, one
Bould altend onty 1o the mest contemptible of them: or lastly overlook.
ine all other men consider onty the most Deformed PherFtes. But ihat
hich Cod made mas the Whole as one thine; which he that attends
10. may hear it spcahine to him aster this manner. Cod Almiehcy
hath made me, and from thence came T, Perfect and compleat, and
standine in need of nothine, because in me are contained all thines;
Plants and animals, and 600d Souls, and Nen happy mith virive; and
innumerable Demons, and many Gods. Nor is ihe Farth alone in me
adorned, mith altmanner os elanes, and variery of animals; or does
the Pover of Soul, extend at most no further ihan to the seas; as is
ihe hole air and ither and Fleaven, in the mean time, vere quite
devoid of Soul, and allocether unadorned mith Livine Tnhabitants.
Morcoven alt thines in me descre 600d, and every thine reaches 1o
it accordine 10 its Pover and Nature. For the rhole Worid depends
non that rirst and Hishest 600d, the Cods themselves who reien in my
severat parts, and alt animals and etants, and whatsoever seems to be
nanimate inme. For some thines in me partake onty of Beine, Come
ol Lise also. some os sense, some of Reason, and some os Intellect above
Reason. But no man oucht torequire Equal thines from 2 nequal; non
that ihe Fincer Bould sec. but ihe Pye; it beine enouch for ihe Pincer
