  • CHAP. I. OF Man in general, with a chief respect to his soul.
  • CHAP. II. Of the two common Notions of the mind known to all, though under different names, about which names it is vain to dispute, or to go out of our selves; that is, to forsake our own Notions to judge of others; for if we know not the meaning of our own notions, how can we know the meaning of others, till we have made our own.
  • CHAP. III. Of the most admirable free-power that God hath given man to dis∣pose of himselfe within himself; in what manner the man doth please, and what distress the man shall indure from himselfe, that will have God for his portion.
  • CHAP. IV. Shewing the course this man took to make himselfe a God, how he met with Reason, who ministred to his necessity; a discourse between Reason and the man, and what rules Reason propounded, by which he should learn his God to know, also himself, his friend, from foe.
  • CHAP. V. The enemy being discovered, the man agrees with reason to fight a∣gainst her, and how they overcame and bound her with Chains, wrought the man to peace.
  • CHAP. VI. The man being wrought to peace, and finding the sweetness of it in himselfe, intreated Reason to direct how his Christian friends and Country-men should come into the same condition.
  • CHAP. VII. How Reason answered, and shewed cause why this could not easily be, unless they would first do those things which in their conceits was impossible to be done. 2. To leave doing those things which in their conceit was damnable to be left undone.
  • CHAP. VIII. Another Discourse between Reason, and the man of the grosseness of the particular errors, which is the cause of all Christian dif∣ference, nd how they should be remedied with ease if men will themselves.
