Man Is not a complete Animal while he is in the Natural State, not having the ufe of 

 Intellc<^. — In the Civilifed State he is completely a Man, and is a Microcofm^ having 

 in himfdf whatever is in the Great World. — The Civilifed State liable to many er- 

 rors. — \ hefe errors only to be prevented by his kmtving hhmelf. — This knowledge 

 to be learned from books of Antient Philofophy. — By this Learnmg our Governing 

 Principle is formed. — How the Government of our Little World is to be c^rr^ed 

 on, our Modern Philolophers have not taught us ; but it is to be le-irned in Ant.ent 

 Books. — The governing power does not perform all the operations, but only direifls 

 them. — It is chiefly by the Animal Mind that they are performed. — The Organs of 

 it arc Nerves, Muldes, Sinews, and Bones — which are all moved by our Mind. — 

 T'<is a Wonderful operation of Mind. — Upon the a£lion of our Animal Life, and 

 the motion of our Bodies, depend the operations of the other two Minds, the Vege- 

 table and the lilemental. — To be confidered how the Subje£ls of this Kingdom, with- 

 in our Cloths, obey their Sovereign : Is it willingly or unwillingly .? — The Vege- 

 table and i'.lemental Minds obey without any knowledge of what they do ; — but the 

 Animal Mind hearkens to reafon ; though it has not realon in itfelf. — The Animal 

 Mind of the Brute is moved by different defires, and dr liberates which of rhem he 

 fliali comply with. — But the Brute has not reafon, — and that makes the difference 

 betwixt him and Man. — If realon in Man judges wroi.g, then is the Man wicked. — 

 He i= weak, if his rsafon does rot judge wrong, but is only overcome by his animal 

 defires : — But if his animal life (ubmits willingly, then he is a happy Man. p. 107.
