rewards
His deeds with doing them; and is content
To spend his time, to end it]
I know not whether my conceit will be approved, but I cannot forbear to
think that our author wrote thus.
--he _rewards
His deeds with doing them, and is content
To spend his time, to spend it.
To do great acts, for the sake of doing them; to spend his life, for the
sake of spending it.
II.iii.4 (348,2) We have power in ourselves to do it, but it is a power
that we have no power to do] [Warburton saw this as "a ridicule on the
Augustine manner of defining _free-will_."] A ridicule may be intended,
but the sense is clear enough. _Power_ first signifies _natural power_
or _force_, and then _moral power_ or _right_. Davies has used the same
word with great variety of meaning.
_Use all thy_ powers _that heavenly_ power _to praise,
That gave thee_ power _to do_.--
II.iii.18 (348,3) many-headed multitude] Hanmer reads, _many-headed_
monster, but without necessity. To be _many-headed_ includes
_monstrousness_.
II.iii.115 (352,7) I will not seal your knowledge] I will not strengthen
or compleat your knowledge. The seal is that which gives authenticity to
a writing.
