All Greek and Hebrew includes mouse-hover transliterations, as above. Longer Greek passages are broken up at punctuation. Henry More (1614-1687), the most interesting member of that group traditionally known as the Cambridge Platonists, lived conscientiously and well. Having early set out on one course, he never thought to change it; he devoted his whole life to the joy of celebrating, again and again, afirm and unshaken Belief of the Existence of GOD ..., a God infinitely Good, as well as infinitely Great....1 Such faith was for More the starting point of his rational understanding: with the most fervent Prayers he beseeched God, in his autobiographical Praefatio Generalissima, to set me free from the dark Chains, and this so sordid Captivity of my own Will. More offered to faith all which his reason could know, and so it happened that he was got into a most Joyous and Lucid State of Mind, something quite ineffable; to preserve these Sensations and Experiences of my own Soul, he wrote apretty full Poem calld Psychozoia (or AChristiano-Platonicall display of Life), an exercise begun about 1640 and designed for no audience but himself. There were times, More continued in his autobiographical remarks, when he thought of destroying Psychozoia because its style is rough and its language filled with archaisms. His principal purpose in that poem was to demonstrate in detail the spiritual foundation of all existence; Psyche, his heroine, is the daughter of the Absolute, the general Soul who holds together the metaphysical universe, against whom he sees reflected his own souls mystical progress. More must, nevertheless, have been pleased with his labor, for he next wrote Psychathanasia Platonica: or Platonicall Poem of the Immortality of Souls, especially Mans Soul, in which he attempts to demonstrate the immortality of the soul as a corrective to his age. Then, he joined to that Antipsychopannychia, or AConfutation of the sleep of the Soul ii after death, and Antimonopsychia, or That all Souls are not one; at the urging of friends, he published the poems in 1642his first literary workas Psychodia Platonica. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
