Sect. 2.
* 1.1He layes the foundation of this Chapter upon equa∣lity of men, which are (saith he) made so equall by nature, that there is an inconsiderable difference. I put not down his own words, but the sense, to avoid tediousnesse. This Conclusion, for the most part, is true, but, in ge∣neral false; for, if we look to the bodies of some men, we see them so decrepid, that their strength is not con∣siderable alone; and what he talkes of confederacy, by that accompt he may bring a Fly in competition, for a Fly, with company enough, can effect any thing; and for the Soule, there are some men so sottish, and uncapable of designe, or contrivance, that, certainly, there are many Beasts which exceed them in fitness for such business as he allot's them; but, allow this phrase, as he utter's it, to be understood of the greater sort and number of men, not of all.
