THeicarnM Author of this Book examines therein the Opinion of 
thofejthat efteem Beads to be meer Engins without any percep- 
tion and Knowledge. In the doing of which, he reprefents at large 
and to advantage what hath been and may be alledged in favour of 
that doftrine •, that fo, when he ftiall be foun J by the Teachers of ic 
not to be of their fentiment,they may notjudge him tabe a Difl'enter 
at leaft for v/ant of having confidered their reafons. 
After he hath fpent the greateft part of his difcourfe in urging the 
arguments for the folc Mechanical Contrivance of the Strudurc and 
Operations of Beafts s and interfperfed the difcufiion of the Opiniorv 
ef the other extreme yWhich zdkrihts R^afon to them : He declares at lad 
his fenfe of this whole matter, and endeavours to prove. That BcaRs, 
though they have not 2iny luttef/c^ual^ytt they have ^SenfihU knowledge 
c^r,though they have not fuch a perception that effentialiy carrieth 
with it a reflection upon it felf 5 yet they have a fimplc apprehenfjon 
of Objeds without that reflexion. So that he efteeras, that from this 
diftindionall the difficulties,thariiave been propofed, will vanilh ^ 
and that the reafons, aliccfged to the contrary , proove indeed, that 
Beafts have no Spiritual knowledge, but not at all, that they have no 
Senfible one. For the particulars, whereby this is endeavoured to be 
made out, we refer the Reader to the Book itfelf.
