Naturallie at a new Author I /doubt, 158.CT1.004 & stick, and doe not quicklie say good. / I censure much, and Taxe; 158.CT1.005 And this liberty costs /mee more then others, by how much myne owne /things 158.CT1.006 are worss then others. yet I would not bee /soe rebellious against my 158.CT1.007 self as not to doe it /[om] [om] [om] [om] [om] [om] 158.CT1.008 [om] [om] Sine talione. As long as I giue them as good /hold vpon mee, 158.CT1.009 they must pardon mee my bytings. I forbidd noe reprehender, but him 158.CT1.010 that like the /Trent Councell forbidds not Books, but Authors. 158.CT1.011 Damning what euer such a name hath, or shall /write. None 158.CT1.012 writes soe ill y%5t%6 hee giues not some=/thing exemplarie, to followe, 158.CT1.013 or flye. Now when /I beginne this Book, I haue no purpose into 158.CT1.014 any /mans debt; howe my stock will hold out, I knowe /not.

All w%5ch%6 I will /bid 158.CT1.020 you [om] remember (for I would haue s[sic] noe such /readers as I can 158.CT1.021 teach) is, that y%5e%6 Pythagorean /Doctrine, doth not onely carrie 158.CT1.022 one Soule from /Man to man, nor Man to Beast, but indifferent=/lie 158.CT1.023 to plants alsoe; and therefore you must not /grudge to finde the same 158.CT1.024 soule in an Emperour, /in a post horss, and in a Mucheron, since 158.CT1.025 no vn=/readiness in the Soule, but an indisposition in y%5e%6 /Organs worke this. And 158.CT1.026 therefore though this /Soule could not moue when it was a Melon, /yet 158.CT1.027 it may remember, and nowe tell mee, >%5att%6< whoe%>>what< />%Yv'sd#it#for#Poison,#to#attaine#Dignitie%Z
