CONCLUSION. 



c-'i'C, t'<at as iheraun^uia bricke here a,*! there m t^erca- 

 ring of the walls ot a houfe , doth nothing at aH prejudice ihc 

 itrength and iecurity of the fabricke ; no more (I hope) ivill 

 the (light clcap^s, which fo difficult a taske as this is .ubjec\ 

 unto, endamage or weaken the maine Vdy of what I have 

 here delivered. I have not yet !een an) piece upon th's fubjeci, 

 made up with this met! ;od, beginning from the fimpeft anJ 

 p'a ndi notions , and compofmg them orderly, till all the prin- 

 cipal! variety which their nature is capable of , bee gone 

 through : and therefore ir cannot be expected, but that tne hrft 

 model! of this kinde ( and moulded by one diffracted with con- 

 tinual! thoug' tsofa much different lira ine"; and whole exer- 

 ci/e as well as profellion, ha thai lowed him but little commerce 

 with bookes and tfudy ) mutt needs be very rough hewed, and 

 require a great deale ofpoiifihing. Which whofbever fhall do, 

 and be as exa& and orderly in treating of PhLofbphy and Ihe- 

 ologv. as Marhemarcians are in deiiv^xing their iciencies, I 

 doe aflure my felfe t^at D> mu* fictions might be made, and 

 would proceecf in them as currently, and the concufions be as 

 certaine and as full, as in the Mathematickes themielves. But 

 that is not all : thele demonftrations would have the oddes 

 exceedingly of the other , and bee to us . inellimably more 

 advantagious : for out of them . doe /prrng much higher and 

 nobler eftcds , for mans ufe and life , then out of any Mathe- 

 maticall ones 5 especially when they extend themfeives to the 

 ^overnement of A4*n as he is Mtn : which is an art, as farre 

 beyond all the rules of Phy/kke , or other government of our 

 body, or temporall goodf , as the end is beyond the meanes 

 ivee employ to gaine it ; for all the others t doe but lerve in- 

 ftrumentally to this end. That wee mq live JHU; whereas thefe 

 doe immediately teach it. 



Thef| are the fruits in generail, that I hope may in fbme 

 measure, grow out of this di/courfe, in the hands Qfe^ualland 

 judicious Readers: but the particular ay me of it, is to /hew 

 what aftions can proceed from a body , and what cannot. In 

 the couduft whereof, one of our chiefe endeavours hath heene 

 roilscw, thatthofe actions which feeme to draw fhohgly in-
