A. I find that this unseen Spirit is here United to a humane Body, and is in Love with it, and careth for it, and is much limited by it, in its Perceivings, Willings and Workings; and so that a Man is an Incorporate Understanding Spirit, or a humane Soul and Body.
Q. 11. What else perceive you by your self?
A. I perceive that my higher Powers are given me to rule the lower, my Reason to rule my Senses and Appetite, my Soul to rule and use my Body, as Man is made to rule the Beasts.
Q. 12. What know you of your self as related to others?
A. I see that I am a Member of the World of Mankind, and that others are better than I, and multitudes better than one; and that the Welfare of Mankind depends much on their Duty to one another; and therefore that I should Love all according to their worth, and faithfully endeavour the good of all.
