"For as in the Body Politick, the Prince, (whom Seneca calls the Soul of the Commonwealth.) receiveth no Passages of State, or false Ones, where there is Negligence, or Disability in those subjectate Inquirers, (whom Xenophon terms the Eyes and Ears of Kings.) In like Manner the Soul of Man being as yet an absolute and independent Worker, but receiving all her Motions from the Information of the bodily Instruments, must continue like a meer <i>rasa Tabula</i>, if they out of Indisposition or Disability be weakened"
