A Leveller that would have got down the Universities, undertook that his Parrot should Learn Philosophy, as well as Scholars, and should dispute with any of them all. He taught the Parrot only two words before Noon every day [It's true, Sir,] and [I understand you,] and to say two more every day afternoon, viz. [You lie Sir,] and [away you Rogue.] When he had learnt them perfectly, he inviteth a Tutor to read Philosophy to his Parrot. He reads in the morning a Lecture of the Principles of Man, and the Parrot oft saith, [I understand you,] and [It's true, Sir,] The Hearers admiring it, are invited to dispute with the Parrot in the Afternoon: Multitudes come, and the Respondent maintained that Man hath a Reasonable Soul, and next, that Parrots have none such: The Parrot oft answered [You lie Sir,] and at last [Away you Rogue:] If the Company gave the Parrot the better, and concluded for Brutes against Humanity, did they more deserve pity or indignation?

Once more: God made Adam's Body before he breathed into it the Breath of Life: If this Body had not its form, it was not a Body; nor a humane Body, without the proper form of such: That which hath no form, is no being. If the form of that Body was forma Hominis, then Adam's Body was a Man without his Soul: And then the Soul is not forma hominis. But saith the Doctor, I know not what it meaneth, unless it be, that Adam may be a man without the Corporeal form or Organization.
