that_o of_o the_o six_o sort_n of_o motion_n the_o spirit_n can_v act_v only_o by_o the_o local_a how_o they_o can_v touch_v a_o body_n to_o remove_v it_o local_o since_o there_o be_v no_o contact_n but_o between_o body_n to_o the_o first_o i_o answer_v that_o there_o be_v no_o need_n of_o union_n such_o as_o that_o which_o join_v the_o soul_n to_o the_o body_n for_o join_v the_o act_n with_o its_o true_a power_n if_o there_o be_v any_o in_o we_o it_o must_v be_v that_o which_o we_o see_v be_v necessary_a for_o the_o communion_n of_o action_n for_o when_o action_n can_v be_v exercise_v but_o by_o two_o party_n of_o different_a nature_n there_o be_v find_v a_o union_n between_o those_o different_a nature_n which_o be_v very_o natural_a and_o found_v upon_o the_o necessity_n of_o such_o action_n wherefore_o i_o be_o so_o far_o from_o think_v the_o union_n of_o the_o soul_n with_o the_o body_n a_o strange_a thing_n that_o i_o shall_v wonder_v more_o if_o there_o be_v none_o for_o the_o better_a understanding_n whereof_o it_o be_v to_o be_v observe_v that_o our_o soul_n have_v two_o sort_n of_o action_n one_o peculiar_a to_o itself_o as_o to_o will_n and_o to_o understand_v the_o other_o common_a with_o the_o body_n as_o to_o see_v hear_v feel_v etc._n etc._n these_o latter_a be_v as_o much_o natural_a as_o the_o former_a and_o as_o if_o it_o be_v in_o a_o state_n in_o which_o it_o can_v not_o exercise_v the_o former_a that_o state_n will_v be_v violent_a to_o it_o and_o contrary_a to_o its_o nature_n so_o it_o be_v equal_o troublesome_a to_o she_o while_o she_o can_v exercise_v the_o latter_a since_o therefore_o it_o be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o soul_n to_o be_v able_a to_o exercise_v its_o function_n it_o be_v consequent_o natural_a to_o it_o to_o be_v unite_v to_o the_o body_n see_v without_o such_o union_n it_o can_v exercise_v those_o function_n now_o i_o be_o no_o more_o solicitous_a to_o know_v what_o this_o union_n be_v then_o to_o understand_v what_o that_o be_v which_o unite_v one_o part_n of_o a_o essence_n with_o the_o other_o since_o the_o body_n be_v in_o some_o manner_n the_o essence_n of_o the_o

there_o be_v some_o disparity_n inasmuch_o as_o the_o hand_n and_o the_o ball_n be_v both_o corporeal_a which_o a_o spirit_n and_o a_o body_n be_v not_o yet_o since_o our_o soul_n apply_v its_o

of_o acquire_v habit_n and_o it_o be_v also_o likely_a that_o the_o power_n of_o move_v from_o one_o place_n to_o another_o which_o be_v in_o a_o spirit_n be_v not_o different_a in_o specie_fw-la from_o that_o which_o be_v in_o a_o horse_n although_o their_o subject_n differ_v if_o therefore_o the_o motive_n faculty_n of_o body_n be_v that_o of_o the_o same_o species_n with_o that_o of_o

for_o the_o explicate_a of_o which_o i_o must_v crave_v leave_n to_o deflect_v a_o little_a from_o the_o ordinary_a opinion_n touch_v the_o nature_n of_o colour_n i_o affirm_v that_o colour_n and_o

earth_n you_o see_v how_o it_o keep_v its_o splendour_n amid_o the_o darkness_n of_o the_o night_n and_o this_o in_o my_o conceit_n be_v the_o meaning_n of_o what_o moses_n say_v when_o he_o say_v that_o god_n create_v the_o light_n before_o the_o sun_n for_o god_n have_v create_v the_o element_n in_o their_o natural_a purity_n they_o be_v sometime_o in_o that_o state_n before_o mixture_n the_o

ever_o approach_v near_o it_o the_o other_o element_n will_v do_v so_o too_o if_o they_o can_v preserve_v themselves_o in_o their_o purity_n as_o well_o as_o the_o fire_n but_o because_o they_o will_v

their_o aliment_n and_o several_a use_n hence_o their_o light_n become_v change_v into_o colour_n which_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o light_n extinguish_v more_o or_o less_o and_o according_o we_o

our_o eye_n perceive_v not_o as_o our_o ear_n discern_v or_o perceive_v not_o silence_n but_o only_o by_o not_o hear_v any_o sound_n so_o neither_o do_v the_o sight_n behold_v black_a and_o darkness_n but_o when_o it_o see_v neither_o colour_n nor_o light_n so_o that_o to_o hear_v silence_n and_o see_v darkness_n be_v to_o speak_v proper_o a_o vain_a attempt_n of_o the_o soul_n which_o will_v fain_o exert_v its_o action_n of_o see_v and_o hear_v and_o can_v hence_o arise_v the_o sadness_n and_o terror_n which_o a_o deep_a silence_n and_o the_o sight_n of_o extreme_a blackness_n and_o darkness_n excite_v in_o the_o soul_n for_o the_o soul_n know_v well_o that_o life_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o exercise_n of_o its_o faculty_n of_o which_o as_o soon_o as_o any_o thing_n be_v

she_o into_o great_a dejection_n and_o this_o make_v way_n for_o the_o second_o reason_n why_o the_o soul_n become_v sad_a at_o the_o sight_n of_o a_o black_a colour_n namely_o because_o it_o never_o appear_v in_o the_o body_n but_o death_n be_v at_o hand_n for_o this_o colour_n be_v produce_v by_o the_o mortification_n and_o extinction_n of_o the_o spirit_n as_o a_o gangrene_n which_o be_v either_o cause_v by_o adustion_n whereby_o coal_n become_v black_a or_o by_o extreme_a coldness_n thus_o old_a man_n be_v of_o a_o leaden_a colour_n tend_v to_o blackness_n now_o the_o excess_n of_o heat_n and_o coldness_n be_v equal_o contrary_a to_o life_n wherefore_o as_o often_o as_o the_o soul_n perceive_v blackness_n either_o in_o she_o own_o body_n or_o in_o another_o she_o remember_v the_o quality_n which_o produce_v it_o and_o be_v contrary_a to_o life_n which_o she_o love_v hence_o arise_v sadness_n and_o hence_o also_o it_o be_v that_o we_o natural_o love_v a_o countenance_n

whence_o aristotle_n say_v that_o the_o intellect_n be_v potential_o all_o thing_n forasmuch_o as_o it_o can_v form_v itself_o into_o as_o many_o shape_n as_o there_o be_v object_n so_o then_o it_o
