very_a conjunction_n be_v one_o all_o quantity_n whatever_o must_v of_o necessity_n by_o continuedness_n conspire_v into_o one_o bulk_n 6._o again_o it_o be_v collect_v that_o the_o world_n be_v not_o compose_v only_o of_o minute_n body_n by_o nature_n indivisible_a for_o since_o a_o extrinsecall_a denomination_n be_v nothing_o but_o the_o intrinsical_v nature_n of_o the_o thing_n out_o of_o

that_o be_v in_o the_o world_n 1._o it_o be_v infer_v that_o all_o corporeal_a nature_n wherever_o be_v corruptible_a since_o all_o participate_v the_o same_o nature_n of_o quantity_n who_o

entire_o agree_v in_o the_o common_a notion_n 2._o again_o since_o the_o difference_n of_o mix_a thing_n vegetable_n and_o animal_n both_o from_o one_o another_o and_o among_o themselves_o be_v

it_o be_v that_o no_o other_o kind_n can_v be_v find_v which_o may_v not_o be_v reduce_v to_o these_o among_o we_o 3._o it_o be_v object_v since_o the_o notion_n of_o a_o body_n be_v to_o be_v movable_a body_n to_o which_o a_o simple_a motion_n be_v natural_a must_v be_v simple_a now_o we_o find_v three_o simple_a motion_n in_o nature_n upward_o downward_o and_o circular_a the_o former_a two_o of_o these_o oppose_v one_o another_o and_o consequent_o both_o they_o and_o the_o body_n who_o they_o be_v destroy_v one_o another_o and_o be_v corruptible_a circular_a motion_n therefore_o because_o it_o have_v no_o opposite_a must_v be_v incorruptible_a and_o so_o the_o heaven_n too_o to_o which_o this_o motion_n be_v proper_a it_o be_v answer_v since_o a_o body_n be_v a_o mover_n move_v and_o to_o be_v a_o mover_n be_v a_o noble_a notion_n then_o to_o be_v move_v the_o difference_n of_o body_n be_v rather_o to_o be_v deduce_v from_o that_o of_o be_v mover_n then_o from_o this_o that_o they_o be_v movable_a 4._o again_o it_o be_v false_a that_o the_o subject_n of_o simple_a motion_n must_v be_v simple_a body_n for_o both_o all_o mix_v thing_n be_v carry_v upward_o
