 4      1, II   |          mature age, even for that reason which they seek to traduce,
 5      1, II   |          hands not much unlike, by reason of the rule of the women,
 6      1, III  |           so fast as other men, by reason they convert not their labours
 7      1, III  |           of opinion to measure of reason) may appear in that we see
 8      1, III  |           no patrons but truth and reason. And the ancient custom
 9      1, III  |     excusing himself, “That it was reason to yield to him that commanded
10      1, IV   |        matter or words: so that in reason as well as in experience
11      1, IV   |    Providence, but in discourse of reason, finding what a province
12      1, IV   |           except they have life of reason and invention, to fall in
13      1, IV   |         prattler; so upon the like reason a credulous man is a deceiver:

15      1, IV   |            they found none; but by reason of their stirring and digging
16      1, IV   |           and imbased: whereof the reason is no other, but that in

18      1, V    |           account of their gift of reason to the benefit and use of
19      1, VI   |           of the shepherd (who, by reason of his leisure, rest in
20      1, VI   |          by the general notions of reason and rules of speech, but
21      1, VII  |          of words from the life of reason.~(23) So we receive from
22      1, VII  |     efficacy.~(26) As first, it is reason he be thought a master of

24      1, VIII |          is a commandment over the reason, belief, and understanding
25      2, I    | imagination, and philosophy to his reason. Divine learning receiveth
26      2, I    |         and observed, and the same reason is of learning.~(3) History
27      2, I    |           be once on foot, what by reason of the neglect of examination,
28      2, I    |          of antiquity, and what by reason of the use of the opinion
29      2, I    |      Socrates answereth, “You have reason, and it becomes you well,
30      2, IV   |           inferior to the soul; by reason whereof there is, agreeable
31      2, IV   |       desires of the mind; whereas reason doth buckle and bow the
32      2, IV   |            to express any point of reason which was more sharp or
33      2, IV   |           life and rigour, because reason cannot be so sensible nor
34      2, V    |          virtue? Doth any give the reason why some things in nature
35      2, VI   |            mysteries of God to our reason, but contrariwise to raise
36      2, VI   |           to raise and advance our reason to the divine truth. So
37      2, VI   |             either by Scripture or reason, is a part of spiritual
38      2, VII  |      supposeth further in nature a reason, understanding, and platform.
39      2, VII  |          did not suppose a mind or reason in the frame of things,
40      2, X    |       impressions of diseases. The reason of which omission I suppose
41      2, XII  |   respecting his understanding and reason, and the other his will,
42      2, XII  |         over to imagination before reason have judged, and reason
43      2, XII  |            reason have judged, and reason sendeth over to imagination
44      2, XII  |        faces: for the face towards reason hath the print of truth,
45      2, XII  |           over a bondman; but that reason hath over the imagination
46      2, XII  |          our imagination above our reason, which is the cause why
47      2, XII  |          chief recommendation unto reason is from the imagination.
48      2, XII  |          now of such knowledges as reason produceth (for that extendeth
49      2, XII  |          inquire of the faculty of reason: so as poesy had his true
50      2, XII  |         imaginative or insinuative reason, which is the subject of
51      2, XII  |            refer it to the arts of reason. So therefore we content
52      2, XIII |      little left to the faculty of reason, and nothing to the duty
53      2, XIII |           argument or satisfactory reason, Quae assensum parit operis
54      2, XIV  |         not so much perplexing the reason, as overruling it by power
55      2, XVI  |           imposition of names from reason and intendment; a speculation
56      2, XVI  |       speculation elegant, and, by reason it searcheth into antiquity,
57      2, XVI  |            footsteps and prints of reason: which kind of analogy between
58      2, XVI  |          analogy between words and reason is handled sparsim, brokenly
59      2, XVII |            man can suffice, nor in reason will attempt, to write aphorisms,
60      2, XVIII|            man can suffice, nor in reason will attempt, to write aphorisms,
61      2, XX   |      absence of this part.~(2) The reason of this omission I suppose
62      2, XXII |          Nature is peremptory (the reason whereof we cannot now stand
63      2, XXIII|          princes, upon a far other reason, are best interpreted by
64      2, XXIII|            I may condemn with like reason as Machiavel doth that other,
65      2, XXIII|          princes, upon a far other reason, are best interpreted by
66      2, XXIII|            I may condemn with like reason as Machiavel doth that other,
67      2, XXV  |           extendeth as well to the reason as to the will of man: so
68      2, XXV  |          find a reluctation in our reason. For if we believe only
69      2, XXV  |            was an image of natural reason.~(2) Howbeit (if we will
70      2, XXV  |          that which springeth from reason, sense, induction, argument,
71      2, XXV  |         The use notwithstanding of reason in spiritual things, and
72      2, XXV  |           the old law were full of reason and signification, much
73      2, XXV  |   difference.~(5) The use of human reason in religion is of two sorts:
74      2, XXV  |            upon the notions of our reason, and applieth His inspirations
75      2, XXV  |       there is allowed us a use of reason and argument, secondary
76      2, XXV  |       exempted from examination of reason, it is then permitted unto
77      2, XXV  |           no discordance with that reason which draweth down and deduceth
78      2, XXV  |          can be no use of absolute reason. We see it familiarly in
79      2, XXV  |    placitum, and not examinable by reason; but then how to direct
80      2, XXV  |            authority, and not upon reason, and therefore not to be
81      2, XXV  |        therefore is that secondary reason, which hath place in divinity,
82      2, XXV  |         the true limits and use of reason in spiritual things, as
83      2, XXV  |        inspired; and how far forth reason may be used; the last point
84      2, XXV  |       inspiration and not by human reason, do differ from all other
85      2, XXV  |         mind, whatsoever knowledge reason cannot at all work upon
86      2, XXV  |         the question demanded: the reason whereof is, because not
87      2, XXV  |            were the poets; and the reason was because the heathen
88      2, XXV  |    admitted into part, as they had reason. Neither did they respect
