They take the Two Contraries which are call'd Qualities, with which
Every Substance is clothd; they name them Good and Evil.
From them they make an Abstract, which is a Negation1
Not only of the Substance from which it is derivd,
A murderer of its own Body, but also a murderer
Of every Divine Member. It is the Reasoning Power,
An Abstract objecting power, that negatives everything.
This is the Spectre of Man, the Holy Reasoning Power,
And in its Holiness is closd the Abomination of Desolation!
