2i6 ANTIENT METAPHYSICS. Book HL 



have in our compofition a Trinity of three diftinil minds, joined 

 together by an hypojlatical or confubJla?itial union, fo as to make 

 thefe three but one Being*. Of thefe three minds, the governing 

 mind is the intelledual; fo that our little world, as well as the great, 

 is governed by intelligence, which, as I have obferved f, direds 

 the operations of our other two minds, and of our bodies. 



Thus it appears, that man is an animal as various in his compo- 

 fition, as in his progrefs from his natural ftate to civility, arts, and 

 fciences ; fo that he is, in every refped, the moft wonderful animal 

 upon this earth, and moft deferving of the attention and ftudy of the 

 philofopher. 



* Who would defire to know more of this Trinity in man, may read what I have 

 faid of it in the firft volume of this work, Book 2. Chap. 1 2. 



+ See p. T08 of this vol. wherr I have mentioned a wonderful effect produced by it 

 in an inftant upon the organs of motion in our bodies.
