v. 20. 21. See 1 Cor. chap. 15, v. 45, 46. In brief therefore, that which in Platonisme is +nous+, is in Scripture +pneuma+; what +sarx+ in one, +to therion+, the brute or beast in the other, +psuche+ the same in both. _Self-reduplicative._ See _Reduplicative_. T _Tricentreitie._ Centre is put for essence, so _Tricentreitie_ must implie a trinitie of essence. See _Centre_, and _Energie_. V _Vaticinant._ The soul is said to be in a _vaticinant_ or _parturient_ condition, when she hath some kind of sense and hovering knowledge of a thing, but yet cannot distinctly and fully, and commandingly represent it to her self, cannot plainly apprehend, much lesse comprehend the matter. The phrase is borrowed of Proclus, who describing the incomprehensiblenese of God, and the desire of all things towards him, speaks thus; +Agnoston gar on pothei ta onta to epheton touto kai alepton, mete oun gnonai mete helein ho pothei, dunamena, peri auto panta choreuei kai odinei men auto kai hoion apomanteuetai.+ _Theolog. Platon. lib. 1. cap. 21._ See _Psychathan. lib. 3. cant. 3. stanz. 12. & 14._ _The Philosophers Devotion._ Sing aloud his praise rehearse Who hath made the Universe. He the boundlesse Heavens has spread All the vitall Orbs has kned; He that on _Olympus_ high Tends his flocks with watchfull eye, And this eye has multiplide Midst each flock for so reside. Thus as round about they stray Toucheth each with out-stretch'd ray, Nimbly they hold on their way, Shaping out their Night and Day. Never slack they; none respires, Dancing round their Centrall fires. In due order as they move Echo's sweet be gently drove Thorough Heavens vast Hollownesse, Which unto all corners presse: Musick that the heart of _Jove_ Moves to joy and sportfull love; Fills the listning saylers eares Riding on the wandering Sphears. Neither Speech nor Language is Where their voice is not transmisse. God is Good, is Wise, is Strong, Witnesse all the creature-throng, Is confess'd by every Tongue. All things back from whence they sprong, As the thankfull Rivers pay What they borrowed of the Sea. Now my self I do resigne, Take me whole I all am thine. Save me, God! from Self-desire, Deaths pit, dark Hells raging fire, Envy, Hatred, Vengeance, Ire. Let not Lust my soul bemire. Quit from these thy praise I'll sing, Loudly sweep the trembl
