And here also we consider things Circumstantial, as Time, Place, &c. And circumstances are either merely Physical, or 2. merely Moral, or 3. mixed, partly Moral, partly Physical; Circumstances merely Physical are such adjuncts of divine worship, as are common and unseparable concomitants of both civil, natural, and Religious or Sacred actions performed by men, and as they are such, contribute no Moral goodness, or badness to the action or Agent in the performance thereof, such as I take to be the seven individual proprieties of every man; Forma, figura, locus, tempus strips, patria, nomen, under Form and figure: The first two, I comprehend, such a proportion of body, a man of a high stature, or low; a man beautiful, or not beautiful, to which I crave leave to reduce all external Forms of habits, as clothes, the head covered, or not covered, the situation of the body, as as they are in themselves, mere Physical acts; kneeling, sitting, standing; the eyes cast down to the earth, or lifted up; the hands lifted up, or not lifted up, the knocking on the breast, or not knocking, motions of the soul, that are natural Time, Place, Family, Country, Name, as such a person, Thomas, not John: the son of such a man, not of such a man; 1. All these are common concomitants of Civill, Natural, and Religious actions, for all actions performed by man of what kind soever, as natural, to eat, sleep; or civill, to declaim an oration before the people; or religious, to preach or pray, must be done by some persons, John or Thomas, men of some Family, in some time, in some place, for they are not actions eternal, and so must be done in time and place so▪ the Agents must, have some habit, some gesture in the doing of all these actions, and they are unseparable Adjuncts of all these actions because neither actions natural, civill, nor Religious, can be performed, but by some persons, in some habit and gesture, in some time, in some place: and lastly, they are mere circumstantials, and contribute no Moral goodness or badness to the actions, as they are but common and ⟨p. 3⟩unseparable circumstances;
And here also we consider things Circumstantiall, as Time, Place, &c. And circumstances are either meerly Physicall, or 2. meerly Morall, or 3. mixt, partly Morall, partly Physicall; Circumstances meerly Physicall are such adjuncts of divine worship, as are common and unseparable concomitants of both civil, naturall, and Religious or Sacred actions performed by men, and as they are such, contribute no Morall goodnesse, or badnesse to the action or Agent in the performance thereof, such as I take to be the seven individuall proprieties of every man; Forma, figura, locus, tempus strips, patria, nomen, under Forme and figure: The first two, I comprehend, such a proportion of body, a man of a high stature, or low; a man beautifull, or not beautifull, to which I crave leave to reduce all externall Formes of habites, as cloathes, the head covered, or not covered, the situation of the body, as as they are in themselves, meer Physicall acts; kneeling, sitting, standing; the eyes cast down to the earth, or lifted up; the hands lifted up, or not lifted up, the knocking on the breast, or not knocking, motions of the soul, that are naturall Time, Place, Family, Country, Name, as such a person, Thomas, not Iohn: the son of such a man, not of such a man; 1.
