The causes of our divisions from our selves, may be referred to three heads.
1. Dividing principles; sometimes our divisions come down from our heads to our hearts.
2. Dividing distempers, sometimes they go up from our hearts to our heads.
3. Dividing practises, and these come from head and heart, they foment and increase both.
3. Dividing practises, and these come from head and heart, they foment and encrease both.
We will begin with dividing principles: Except some care be taken of the head, it will be in vain to meddle with the heart, to cry out against our heart-distempers; the chief cause of many of our divisions lies here: It is to little purpose, to purge or apply any medicine to the lower parts, when the disease comes from distillations from the head.
