Fellow Students,

VVE Complain of the Differences in our Arguments, Disputes, and Opinions, but we never Complain of the Subjects of our Studies, Arguments, or Disputes, for we Spend our Time, and Wear out our Lives in our Stu∣dies and Discourses, to prove Something No∣thing, as witness, Motions, Notions, Thoughts, and the like; nay, all Scholars and Student, Indeavour to make or at least to Perswade us to Believe, that our Rational Souls are Nothing, a Incorporeal, which is, to have a Beeing, but not

the Substance of a Body, which is as Impossible, as to be a Body, and no Body; also they Indea∣vour to make the Matter of the Universe to be Nothing, as that it is made of Nothing, and shall return to Nothing; the Worst of all is, that they Dispute so Elevating, as to make all Divi∣nity like as a Logistical Egg, which is Nothing; but if they could make Sin and Punishment No∣thing, their Arguments would be Something, whereas now their Arguments are Empty Words, without Sense or Reason, only fit for Fools to Believe, and Wise men to Laugh at; But I wish that our Studies and Arguments may be such, as to Benefit our Lives, and not such as to Confound our Saving Belief.
