beside_o many_o of_o their_o write_n be_v but_o parcel_n take_v from_o the_o ancient_a but_o such_o writer_n be_v like_o those_o unconscionable_a man_n in_o civil_a war_n which_o endeavour_n to_o

to_o render_v themselves_o famous_a in_o compose_v book_n of_o their_o own_o but_o though_o this_o age_n do_v ruin_v palace_n to_o make_v cottage_n church_n to_o make_v conventicle_n and_o

the_o strong_a wit_n of_o the_o ancient_n for_o set_v aside_o some_o few_o of_o our_o modern_n all_o the_o rest_n be_v but_o like_o dead_a and_o wither_a leaf_n in_o comparison_n to_o lovely_a and_o

of_o the_o egyptians_n grecian_n roman_n and_o many_o other_o ancient_a nation_n when_o i_o say_v lose_v i_o mean_v in_o relation_n to_o our_o knowledge_n not_o in_o nature_n for_o nothing_o can_v be_v lose_v in_o nature_n true_o the_o art_n of_o augury_n be_v far_o more_o beneficial_a than_o the_o late_o invent_v art_n of_o micrography_n for_o i_o can_v perceive_v any_o great_a advantage_n this_o art_n do_v bring_v we_o also_o the_o eclipse_n of_o the_o sun_n and_o moon_n be_v not_o find_v out_o by_o telescope_n nor_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o loadstone_n nor_o the_o art_n of_o the_o

in_o the_o sun_n and_o moon_n or_o discover_v some_o new_a star_n what_o benefit_n be_v that_o to_o we_o or_o if_o microscope_n do_v true_o represent_v the_o exterior_a part_n and_o superficies_n of_o some_o minute_n creature_n what_o advantage_n it_o our_o knowledge_n for_o unless_o they_o can_v discover_v their_o interior_a corporeal_a figurative_a motion_n and_o the_o obscure_a action_n of_o nature_n or_o the_o cause_n which_o make_v such_o or_o such_o creature_n i_o see_v no_o great_a benefit_n or_o advantage_n they_o yield_v to_o man_n or_o if_o they_o discover_v how_o reflect_v light_n make_v loose_a and_o superficial_a colour_n such_o as_o no_o soon_o percieve_v but_o be_v again_o dissolve_v what_o benefit_n be_v that_o to_o man_n for_o neither_o painter_n nor_o dyer_n can_v enclose_v and_o mix_v that_o atomical_a dust_n and_o those_o reflection_n of_o light_a to_o serve_v they_o for_o any_o use_n wherefore_o in_o my_o opinion_n it_o be_v both_o time_n and_o labour_n lose_v for_o the_o inspection_n of_o the_o exterior_a part_n of_o vegetable_n do_v not_o give_v we_o any_o knowledge_n how_o to_o sow_v set_v plant_v and_o graft_n so_o that_o a_o gardener_n or_o

of_o a_o grain_n more_o corn_n neither_o will_v the_o inspection_n of_o dusty_a atom_n and_o reflection_n of_o light_n teach_v painter_n how_o to_o make_v and_o mix_v colour_n although_o it_o may_v perhaps_o be_v a_o advantage_n to_o a_o decay_a lady_n face_n by_o place_v herself_o in_o such_o or_o such_o a_o reflection_n of_o light_n where_o the_o dusty_a atom_n may_v hide_v her_o wrinkle_n the_o truth_n be_v most_o of_o these_o art_n be_v fallacy_n rather_o than_o discovery_n of_o truth_n for_o sense_n delude_v more_o than_o it_o give_v a_o true_a information_n and_o a_o exterior_a

it_o appear_v in_o this_o follow_a treatise_n it_o may_v be_v the_o world_n will_v judge_v it_o a_o fault_n in_o i_o that_o i_o oppose_v so_o many_o eminent_a and_o ingenious_a writer_n but_o i_o do_v it_o not_o out_o of_o a_o contradict_a or_o wrangle_v nature_n but_o out_o of_o a_o endeavour_n to_o find_v out_o truth_n or_o at_o least_o the_o probability_n of_o truth_n according_a to_o that_o proportion_n of_o sense_n and_o reason_n nature_n have_v bestow_v upon_o i_o for_o as_o i_o have_v hear_v my_o noble_a lord_n say_v that_o in_o the_o art_n of_o ride_v and_o fence_v there_o be_v but_o one_o truth_n but_o many_o falsehood_n and_o fallacy_n so_o it_o may_v be_v say_v of_o natural_a philosophy_v and_o divinity_n for_o there_o be_v but_o one_o fundamental_a truth_n in_o each_o and_o i_o be_o as_o ambitious_a of_o find_v out_o the_o truth_n of_o nature_n as_o a_o honourable_a dueller_n be_v of_o gain_v fame_n and_o repute_n for_o as_o he_o will_v fight_v with_o none_o but_o a_o honourable_a and_o valiant_a opposite_a so_o be_o i_o resolve_v to_o argue_v with_o none_o but_o those_o which_o have_v the_o renown_n of_o be_v famous_a and_o subtle_a philosopher_n and_o therefore_o as_o i_o have_v have_v the_o courage_n to_o argue_v heretofore_o with_o some_o famous_a and_o eminent_a writer_n in_o speculative_a philosophy_n so_o have_v i_o take_v upon_o i_o in_o this_o present_a work_n to_o make_v some_o reflection_n also_o upon_o some_o of_o our_o modern_a experimental_a and_o dioptrical_a writer_n they_o will_v perhaps_o think_v myself_o a_o inconsiderable_a opposite_a because_o i_o be_o not_o of_o their_o sex_n and_o therefore_o strive_v to_o hit_v my_o opinion_n with_o a_o side_n stroke_n rather_o covert_o then_o open_o and_o direct_o but_o if_o this_o shall_v chance_v the_o impartial_a world_n i_o hope_v will_v grant_v i_o so_o much_o justice_n as_o to_o consider_v my_o honesty_n and_o their_o fallacy_n and_o pass_v such_o a_o judgement_n as_o will_v declare_v they_o to_o be_v patron_n not_o only_o to_o truth_n but_o also_o to_o justice_n and_o equity_n for_o which_o heaven_n will_v grant_v they_o their_o reward_n and_o time_n will_v record_v their_o noble_a and_o worthy_a action_n in_o the_o register_n of_o fame_n to_o be_v keep_v in_o everlasting_a memory_n to_o the_o reader_n courteous_a reader_n i_o do_v ingenious_o confess_v that_o both_o for_o want_v of_o learning_n and_o read_v philosophical_a author_n i_o have_v not_o express_v myself_o in_o my_o philosophical_a work_n especial_o in_o my_o philosophical_a and_o physical_a opinion_n so_o clear_o and_o plain_o as_o i_o may_v have_v do_v have_v i_o have_v the_o assistance_n of_o art_n and_o the_o practice_n of_o read_v other_o author_n but_o though_o my_o conception_n seem_v not_o so_o perspicuous_a in_o the_o mention_a book_n of_o philosophical_a opinion_n yet_o my_o philosophical_a letter_n and_o these_o present_a observation_n will_n i_o hope_v render_v it_o more_o intelligible_a which_o i_o have_v write_v not_o out_o of_o a_o ambitious_a humour_n to_o fill_v the_o world_n with_o useless_a book_n but_o to_o explain_v and_o illustrate_v my_o own_o opinion_n for_o what_o benefit_n will_v it_o be_v to_o i_o if_o i_o shall_v put_v forth_o a_o work_n which_o by_o reason_n of_o its_o obscure_a and_o hard_a notious_a can_v not_o be_v understand_v especial_o it_o be_v knowil_n that_o natural_a philosophy_n be_v the_o hard_a of_o all_o humane_a learning_n by_o reason_n it_o consist_v only_o in_o contemplation_n and_o to_o make_v the_o philosophical_a conception_n of_o one_o mind_n know_v to_o other_o be_v more_o difffcult_a then_o to_o make_v they_o believe_v that_o if_o a._n b._n be_v equal_a to_o c._n d._n then_o e._n f._n be_v equal_a to_o a._n b._n because_o it_o be_v equal_a to_o c._n d._n but_o as_o for_o learning_n that_o i_o be_o not_o verse_v in_o it_o no_o body_n i_o hope_v will_v blame_v i_o for_o it_o since_o it_o be_v sufficient_o know_v that_o our_o sex_n be_v not_o bread_n up_o to_o it_o as_o be_v not_o suffer_v to_o be_v instruct_v in_o school_n and_o university_n i_o will_v not_o say_v but_o many_o of_o our_o sex_n may_v have_v as_o much_o wit_n and_o be_v capable_a of_o learning_n as_o well_o as_o man_n but_o since_o they_o want_v instruction_n it_o be_v not_o possible_a they_o shall_v attain_v to_o it_o for_o learning_n be_v artificial_a but_o wit_n be_v natural_a wherefore_o when_o i_o begin_v to_o read_v the_o philosophical_a work_n
from_o the_o real_a the_o mechanical_a the_o experimental_a philosophy_n which_o have_v this_o advantage_n over_o the_o philosophy_n of_o discourse_n and_o disputation_n that_o whereas_o that_o chief_o aim_v at_o the_o subtlety_n of_o its_o deduction_n and_o conclusion_n without_o much_o regard_n to_o the_o first_o groundwork_n which_o ought_v to_o be_v well_o lay_v on_o the_o sense_n and_o memory_n so_o this_o intend_v the_o right_a order_n of_o they_o all_o and_o make_v they_o serviceable_a to_o each_o other_o in_o which_o discourse_n i_o do_v not_o understand_v first_o what_o they_o mean_v by_o our_o power_n over_o natural_a cause_n and_o effect_n for_o we_o have_v no_o power_n at_o all_o over_o natural_a cause_n and_o effect_n but_o only_o one_o particular_a effect_n may_v have_v some_o power_n over_o another_o which_o be_v natural_a action_n but_o neither_o can_v natural_a cause_n nor_o effect_n be_v overpowred_n by_o man_n so_o as_o if_o man_n be_v a_o degree_n above_o nature_n but_o they_o must_v be_v as_o nature_n be_v please_v to_o order_v they_o for_o man_n be_v but_o a_o small_a part_n and_o his_o power_n be_v but_o particular_a action_n of_o nature_n and_o therefore_o he_o can_v have_v a_o supreme_a and_o absolute_a power_n next_o i_o say_v that_o sense_n which_o be_v more_o apt_a to_o be_v delude_v then_o reason_n can_v be_v the_o ground_n of_o reason_n no_o more_o than_o art_n can_v be_v the_o ground_n of_o nature_n wherefore_o discourse_n shall_v soon_o find_v or_o trace_v nature_n corporeal_a figurative_a motion_n than_o delude_a art_n can_v inform_v the_o sense_n for_o how_o can_v a_o fool_n order_v his_o understanding_n by_o art_n if_o nature_n have_v make_v it_o defective_a or_o how_o can_v a_o wise_a man_n trust_v his_o sense_n if_o either_o the_o object_n be_v not_o true_o present_v according_a to_o their_o natural_a figure_n and_o shape_n or_o if_o the_o sense_n be_v defective_a either_o through_o age_n sickness_n or_o other_o accident_n which_o do_v alter_v the_o natural_a motion_n proper_a to_o each_o sense_n and_o hence_o i_o conclude_v that_o experimental_a and_o mechanic_n philosophy_n can_v be_v above_o the_o speculative_a part_n by_o reason_n most_o experiment_n have_v their_o rise_n from_o the_o speculative_a so_o that_o the_o artist_n or_o mechanic_n be_v but_o a_o servant_n to_o the_o student_n 3._o of_o micrography_n and_o of_o magnify_v and_o multiply_v glass_n although_o i_o be_o not_o able_a to_o give_v a_o solid_a judgement_n of_o the_o art_n of_o micrography_n and_o the_o several_a dioptrical_a instrument_n belong_v thereto_o by_o reason_n i_o have_v neither_o study_v nor_o practise_v that_o art_n yet_o of_o this_o i_o be_o confident_a that_o this_o same_o art_n with_o all_o its_o instrument_n be_v not_o able_a to_o discover_v the_o interior_a natural_a motion_n of_o any_o part_n or_o creature_n of_o nature_n nay_o the_o question_n be_v whether_o it_o can_v represent_v yet_o the_o exterior_a shape_n and_o motion_n so_o exact_o as_o natural_o they_o be_v for_o art_n do_v more_o easy_o alter_v then_o inform_v as_o for_o example_n art_n make_v cylinder_n concave_a and_o convex-glass_n and_o the_o like_a which_o represent_v the_o figure_n of_o a_o object_n in_o no_o part_n exact_o and_o true_o but_o very_o deform_v and_o mishap_a also_o a_o glass_n that_o be_v flaw_v crack_a or_o break_v or_o cut_v into_o the_o figure_n of_o lozange_n triangle_n square_n or_o the_o like_a will_v present_v numerous_a picture_n of_o one_o object_n beside_o there_o be_v so_o many_o alteration_n make_v by_o several_a light_n their_o shadow_n refraction_n reflection_n as_o also_o several_a line_n point_n medium_n interpose_v and_o intermix_v part_n form_n and_o position_n as_o the_o truth_n of_o a_o object_n will_v hardly_o be_v know_v for_o the_o perception_n of_o sight_n and_o so_o of_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o sense_n go_v no_o further_a than_o the_o exterior_a part_n of_o the_o object_n present_v and_o though_o the_o perception_n may_v be_v true_a when_o the_o object_n be_v true_o present_v yet_o when_o the_o presentation_n be_v false_a the_o information_n must_v be_v false_a also_o and_o it_o be_v to_o be_v observe_v that_o art_n for_o the_o most_o part_n make_v hermaphroditical_a that_o be_v mix_v figure_n as_o partly_o artificial_a and_o partly_o natural_a for_o art_n may_v make_v some_o metal_n as_o pewter_n which_o be_v between_o tin_n and_o lead_n as_o also_o brass_n and_o numerous_a other_o thing_n of_o mix_a nature_n in_o the_o like_a manner_n may_v artificial_a glass_n present_a object_n partly_o natural_a and_o partly_o artificial_a nay_o put_v the_o case_n they_o can_v present_v the_o natural_a figure_n of_o a_o object_n yet_o that_o natural_a figure_n may_v be_v present_v in_o as_o monstrous_a a_o shape_n as_o it_o may_v appear_v misshapen_v rather_o than_o natural_a for_o example_n a_o louse_n by_o the_o help_n of_o a_o magnifying-glass_n appear_v like_o a_o lobster_n where_o the_o microscope_n enlarge_a and_o magnify_v each_o part_n of_o it_o make_v they_o big_a and_o round_a then_o natural_o they_o be_v the_o truth_n be_v the_o more_o the_o figure_n by_o art_n be_v magnify_v the_o more_o it_o appear_v misshapen_v from_o the_o natural_a in_o so_o much_o as_o each_o joint_n will_v appear_v as_o a_o disease_a swell_v and_o tumid_a body_n ready_a and_o ripe_a for_o incision_n but_o mistake_v i_o not_o i_o do_v not_o say_v that_o no_o glass_n present_v the_o true_a picture_n of_o a_o object_n but_o only_o that_o magnify_n multiply_v and_o the_o like_a optic_a glass_n may_v and_o do_v oftentimes_o present_v false_o the_o picture_n of_o a_o exterior_a object_n i_o say_v the_o picture_n because_o it_o be_v not_o the_o real_a body_n of_o the_o object_n which_o the_o glass_n present_v but_o the_o glass_n only_a figure_n or_o pattern_n out_o the_o picture_n present_v in_o and_o by_o the_o glass_n and_o there_o may_v easy_o mistake_v be_v commit_v in_o take_v copy_n from_o copy_n nay_o artist_n do_v confess_v themselves_o that_o fly_v and_o the_o like_a will_v appear_v of_o several_a figure_n or_o shape_n according_a to_o the_o several_a reflection_n refraction_n medium_n and_o position_n of_o several_a light_n which_o if_o so_o how_o can_v they_o tell_v or_o judge_v which_o be_v the_o true_a light_n position_n or_o medium_n that_o do_v present_v the_o object_n natural_o as_o it_o be_v and_o if_o not_o than_o a_o edge_n may_v very_o well_o seem_v flat_a and_o a_o point_n of_o a_o needle_n a_o globe_n but_o if_o the_o edge_n of_o a_o knife_n or_o point_n of_o a_o needle_n be_v natural_o and_o real_o so_o as_o the_o microscope_n present_v they_o they_o will_v never_o be_v so_o useful_a as_o they_o be_v for_o a_o flat_a or_o broad_a plain-edged_n knife_n will_v not_o cut_v nor_o a_o blunt_a globe_n pierce_v so_o sudden_o another_o body_n neither_o will_v or_o can_v they_o pierce_v without_o tear_v and_o rend_v if_o their_o body_n be_v so_o uneven_a and_o if_o the_o picture_n of_o a_o young_a beautiful_a lady_n shall_v be_v draw_v according_a to_o the_o representation_n of_o the_o microscope_n or_o according_a to_o the_o various_a refraction_n and_o reflection_n of_o light_n through_o such_o like_a glass_n it_o will_v be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v like_o she_o as_o it_o will_v not_o be_v like_o a_o humane_a face_n but_o rather_o a_o monster_n than_o a_o picture_n of_o nature_n wherefore_o those_o that_o invent_v microscope_n and_o such_o like_a dioptrical_a glass_n at_o first_o do_v in_o my_o opinion_n the_o world_n more_o injury_n than_o benefit_n for_o this_o art_n have_v intoxicate_v so_o many_o man_n brain_n and_o whole_o employ_v their_o thought_n

experimental_a philosopher_n find_v out_o more_o beneficial_a art_n than_o our_o forefather_n have_v do_v either_o for_o the_o better_a increase_n of_o vegetable_n and_o brute_n animal_n to_o

there_o be_v but_o one_o world_n and_o that_o finite_a 5._o that_o the_o world_n be_v animate_v and_o god_n be_v the_o soul_n thereof_o diffuse_v through_o every_o part_n 6._o that_o the_o world_n be_v contain_v in_o a_o place_n 7._o that_o body_n be_v divisible_a into_o infinite_a concern_v the_o first_o viz._n that_o water_n be_v the_o principle_n of_o all_o natural_a thing_n helmont_n do_v embrace_v this_o opinion_n as_o i_o have_v declare_v in_o my_o philosophical_a letter_n and_o in_o the_o forego_n part_n of_o this_o book_n and_o have_v give_v withal_o my_o reason_n why_o water_n can_v be_v a_o principle_n of_o natural_a thing_n because_o it_o be_v no_o more_o but_o a_o natural_a effect_n for_o though_o humidity_n may_v be_v find_v in_o many_o part_n or_o creature_n of_o nature_n yet_o this_o do_v not_o prove_v that_o water_n be_v a_o principle_n of_o all_o natural_a body_n no_o more_o than_o fire_n earth_n air_n or_o any_o other_o creature_n of_o nature_n and_o though_o most_o philosopher_n be_v of_o opinion_n that_o element_n be_v simple_a body_n and_o all_o the_o rest_n be_v compose_v of_o they_o yet_o this_o be_v no_o way_n probable_a to_o reason_n because_o they_o consist_v of_o the_o same_o matter_n as_o other_o body_n do_v and_o be_v all_o but_o effect_n of_o one_o cause_n or_o principle_n which_o be_v infinite_a matter_n next_o that_o nature_n be_v full_a of_o daemon_n or_o spiritual_a substance_n be_v against_o sense_n and_o reason_n for_o what_o be_v incorporeal_a be_v no_o part_n of_o nature_n and_o upon_o this_o account_n the_o soul_n can_v be_v immaterial_a although_o he_o make_v she_o to_o be_v a_o self-moving_a nature_n for_o what_o have_v a_o natural_a motion_n have_v also_o a_o natural_a body_n because_o matter_n and_o motion_n be_v but_o one_o thing_n neither_o can_v a_o spiritual_a substance_n move_v a_o corporeal_a they_o be_v both_o of_o different_a nature_n as_o for_o the_o world_n that_o there_o be_v but_o one_o i_o do_v willing_o grant_v it_o if_o by_o the_o world_n he_o do_v mean_a nature_n but_o than_o it_o can_v be_v finite_a but_o thales_n seem_v to_o contradict_v himself_o in_o this_o theorem_a when_o as_o he_o grant_v that_o body_n be_v divisible_a in_o infinite_a for_o if_o there_o be_v infinite_a action_n as_o infinite_a division_n in_o nature_n then_o sure_o the_o body_n of_o nature_n itself_o must_v be_v infinite_a next_o he_o say_v that_o god_n be_v the_o soul_n of_o the_o world_n which_o if_o so_o god_n be_v infinite_a he_o can_v have_v a_o finite_a body_n to_o animate_v it_o for_o a_o finite_a body_n and_o a_o infinite_a soul_n do_v never_o agree_v together_o but_o that_o god_n shall_v be_v the_o soul_n of_o the_o world_n no_o regular_a reason_n can_v allow_v because_o the_o soul_n of_o nature_n must_v be_v corporeal_a as_o well_o as_o the_o body_n for_o a_o incorporeal_a substance_n can_v be_v mix_v with_o a_o corporeal_a next_o the_o world_n as_o the_o body_n of_o nature_n be_v dividable_a it_o will_v follow_v that_o god_n which_o be_v the_o soul_n will_v be_v dividable_a also_o three_o every_o part_n of_o the_o world_n will_v be_v a_o part_n of_o god_n as_o partake_v of_o the_o same_o nature_n for_o every_o part_n if_o the_o soul_n be_v diffuse_v through_o all_o the_o body_n will_v be_v animate_v last_o concern_v place_n as_o that_o the_o world_n be_v contain_v in_o a_o place_n my_o opinion_n be_v that_o place_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o affection_n of_o body_n and_o in_o no_o way_n different_a or_o separable_a from_o it_o for_o wheresoever_o be_v body_n or_o matter_n there_o be_v place_n also_o so_o that_o place_n can_v be_v say_v to_o contain_v the_o world_n or_o else_o it_o will_v be_v big_a than_o the_o world_n itself_o for_o that_o which_o contain_v must_v needs_o in_o compass_n or_o extent_n exceed_v that_o which_o it_o contain_v 2._o some_o few_o observation_n on_o plato_n doctrine_n 1._o plato_n say_v that_o life_n be_v two_o fold_n contemplative_a and_o active_a and_o that_o contemplation_n be_v a_o office_n of_o the_o intellect_n but_o action_n a_o operation_n of_o the_o rational_a soul_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v first_o that_o i_o know_v no_o other_o difference_n between_o intellect_n and_o reason_n but_o that_o intellect_n be_v a_o effect_n or_o rather_o a_o essential_a propriety_n of_o reason_n if_o reason_n be_v the_o principle_n of_o nature_n for_o the_o rational_a part_n be_v the_o most_o intelligent_a part_n of_o animate_v matter_n next_o i_o say_v that_o contemplation_n be_v as_o much_o a_o action_n as_o any_o other_o action_n of_o nature_n although_o it_o be_v not_o so_o gross_a as_o the_o action_n of_o the_o body_n for_o it_o be_v only_o a_o action_n of_o the_o mind_n which_o be_v more_o pure_a and_o subtle_a then_o either_o the_o sensitive_a or_o inanimate_a part_n of_o matter_n be_v and_o act_n within_o itself_o that_o be_v in_o its_o own_o substance_n or_o degree_n of_o matter_n 2._o he_o say_v that_o sense_n be_v a_o passion_n of_o the_o soul_n i_o answer_v there_o be_v as_o much_o difference_n between_o sense_n and_o the_o soul_n as_o there_o be_v between_o sense_n and_o reason_n or_o a_o sensitive_a life_n and_o a_o rational_a soul_n for_o the_o rational_a part_n of_o matter_n be_v not_o the_o sensitive_a nor_o the_o sensitive_a the_o rational_a a_o fool_n may_v have_v his_o sense_n regular_a and_o his_o reason_n irregular_a and_o therefore_o sense_n and_o reason_n be_v not_o one_o and_o the_o same_o although_o they_o have_v a_o inseparable_a communion_n in_o the_o body_n or_o substance_n of_o nature_n 3._o he_o argue_v thus_o that_o which_o move_v in_o itself_o as_o be_v the_o principle_n of_o motion_n in_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v move_v be_v always_o move_v and_o consequent_o immortal_a ungenerable_a and_o incorruptible_a but_o the_o soul_n be_v so_o ergo_fw-la etc._n etc._n i_o answer_v natural_a matter_n be_v thus_o self-moving_a be_v the_o same_o 4._o from_o say_v he_o be_v join_v to_o matter_n i_o answer_v form_n and_o matter_n be_v but_o one_o thing_n for_o it_o be_v impossible_a to_o separate_v matter_n from_o form_n or_o form_n from_o matter_n but_o what_o be_v not_o dividable_a be_v not_o composable_a and_o what_o can_v be_v separate_v can_v be_v join_v 5._o quality_n say_v he_o be_v incorporeal_a because_o they_o be_v accident_n i_o answer_v if_o quality_n be_v incorporeal_a they_o do_v not_o belong_v to_o nature_n for_o since_o the_o principle_n of_o nature_n be_v matter_n all_o that_o be_v natural_a must_v also_o be_v material_a or_o corporeal_a and_o therefore_o all_o natural_a quality_n or_o accident_n must_v of_o necessity_n be_v corporeal_a by_o reason_n quality_n can_v no_o more_o be_v divide_v from_o matter_n than_o figure_n magnitude_n colour_n place_n and_o the_o like_a all_o which_o be_v but_o one_o and_o the_o same_o with_o body_n without_o any_o separation_n or_o abstraction_n 6._o what_o plato_n affirm_v of_o that_o which_o never_o be_v and_o never_o have_v a_o beginning_n and_o of_o that_o which_o have_v a_o beginning_n and_o not_o a_o be_v be_v more_o than_o he_o or_o any_o body_n can_v rational_o prove_v for_o what_o never_o be_v nor_o be_v no_o man_n can_v know_v or_o imagine_v because_o all_o what_o be_v know_v or_o imagine_v have_v its_o real_a be_v if_o not_o without_o yet_o within_o the_o mind_n and_o all_o thought_n have_v not_o only_o a_o be_v but_o a_o material_a be_v in_o nature_n nay_o even_o the_o thought_n of_o the_o existence_n of_o a_o deity_n although_o deity_n itself_o be_v immaterial_a 7._o i_o wonder_v so_o witty_a a_o philosopher_n as_o plato_n can_v believe_v that_o matter_n in_o itself_o as_o it_o be_v the_o principle_n of_o nature_n be_v void_a of_o all_o form_n for_o he_o affirm_v himself_o that_o whatsoever_o have_v part_n have_v also_o figure_n but_o matter_n
neutral_a being_n which_o be_v between_o body_n and_o no_o body_n which_o be_v a_o paradox_n to_o regular_a reason_n the_o cyrenaic_a sect_n affirm_v that_o all_o body_n be_v of_o a_o incomprehensible_a nature_n but_o i_o be_o not_o of_o their_o opinion_n for_o although_o the_o interior_a corporeal_a figurative_a motion_n be_v not_o subject_a to_o every_o creature_n perception_n yet_o in_o nature_n they_o be_v not_o incomprehensible_a as_o for_o example_n the_o five_o sense_n in_o man_n be_v both_o know_v and_o ignorant_a not_o only_o of_o each_o other_o perception_n but_o of_o the_o several_a part_n of_o exterior_a object_n for_o the_o eye_n only_o perceive_v the_o exterior_a figure_n magnitude_n and_o colour_n and_o not_o the_o nose_n the_o nose_n perceive_v its_o scent_n but_o not_o its_o colour_n and_o magnitude_n the_o ear_n perceive_v neither_o its_o magnitude_n colour_n nor_o scent_n but_o only_o its_o sound_n and_o so_o forth_o the_o like_a may_v be_v say_v of_o the_o infinite_a perceptive_a part_n of_o nature_n whereby_o they_o be_v both_o obscure_v and_o discover_v to_o particular_n and_o so_o may_v be_v true_o know_v in_o general_a but_o not_o in_o particular_a by_o any_o finite_a creature_n or_o part_n of_o nature_n the_o academic_n say_v that_o some_o fancy_n be_v credible_a other_o incredible_a and_o of_o those_o that_o be_v credible_a some_o be_v credible_a only_o and_o some_o credible_a and_o circumcurrent_fw-la as_o for_o example_n a_o rope_n lie_v loose_o in_o a_o dark_a room_n a_o man_n receive_v a_o credible_a fancy_n from_o it_o and_o run_v away_o another_o consider_v it_o more_o exact_o and_o weigh_v the_o circumstance_n as_o that_o it_o move_v not_o that_o it_o be_v of_o such_o a_o colour_n and_o the_o like_a to_o he_o it_o appear_v a_o rope_n according_a to_o the_o credible_a and_o circumcurrent_fw-la fancy_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v a_o mistake_n be_v a_o irregularity_n of_o sense_n and_o sometime_o of_o reason_n too_o if_o sense_n be_v only_o mistake_v and_o not_o reason_n reason_n rectify_v sense_n and_o if_o reason_n be_v only_o mistake_v and_o not_o sense_n than_o sense_n rectify_v reason_n but_o when_o both_o sense_n and_o reason_n be_v mistake_v the_o irregularity_n do_v either_o last_o long_o or_o change_n into_o regularity_n by_o the_o information_n of_o some_o other_o circumstance_n and_o thing_n which_o may_v rectify_v sometime_o the_o irregular_a motion_n both_o of_o sense_n and_o reason_n that_o be_v the_o sensitive_a and_o rational_a motion_n of_o other_o part_n may_v rectify_v those_o irregularity_n i_o can_v make_v many_o more_o observation_n not_o only_o upon_o the_o aforementioned_a but_o several_a other_o of_o the_o ancient_a philosopher_n but_o my_o design_n be_v not_o to_o refute_v their_o opinion_n but_o as_o i_o mention_v in_o the_o beginning_n to_o show_v the_o difference_n between_o they_o and_o my_o own_o and_o by_o this_o we_o may_v see_v that_o irregularity_n do_v not_o only_o appear_v in_o our_o present_a age_n but_o have_v be_v also_o in_o time_n past_a nay_o ever_o since_o nature_n have_v be_v or_o else_o there_o will_v never_o have_v be_v such_o extravagant_a opinion_n concern_v the_o truth_n of_o nature_n but_o the_o chief_a which_o i_o observe_v be_v that_o most_o of_o the_o ancient_n make_v a_o commixture_n of_o natural_a and_o supernatural_a corporeal_a and_o incorporeal_a being_n and_o of_o animate_v and_o inanimate_a body_n some_o derive_v reason_n from_o fancy_n and_o some_o introduce_v neutral_a being_n which_o be_v neither_o corporeal_a nor_o incorporeal_a but_o between_o both_o especial_o they_o do_v make_v general_a principle_n of_o particular_a effect_n and_o abstract_a quality_n motion_n accident_n figure_n place_n magnitude_n etc._n etc._n from_o matter_n which_o cause_v so_o many_o confusion_n and_o difference_n in_o their_o opinion_n nor_o can_v it_o be_v otherwise_o because_o of_o the_o irregularity_n and_o division_n of_o nature_n corporeal_a action_n and_o most_o of_o our_o modern_n do_v either_o follow_v altogether_o the_o opinion_n of_o the_o ancient_a philosopher_n put_v they_o only_o into_o a_o new_a dress_n or_o patch_v they_o up_o with_o some_o of_o their_o own_o and_o so_o make_v a_o gallimafry_n in_o natural_a philosophy_n a_o explanation_n of_o some_o obscure_a and_o

some_o doubtful_a passage_n which_o i_o mark_v in_o my_o philosophical_a opinion_n so_o i_o think_v it_o necessary_a to_o second_v they_o with_o these_o follow_a note_n and_o to_o add_v not_o only_o what_o be_v forget_v in_o the_o same_o book_n but_o to_o explain_v also_o some_o other_o passage_n which_o hitherto_o i_o observe_v in_o the_o mention_a book_n of_o letter_n for_o though_o i_o know_v that_o it_o be_v but_o in_o vain_a to_o hinder_v all_o objection_n yet_o i_o will_v endeavour_v as_o much_o as_o lie_v in_o i_o to_o prevent_v such_o as_o may_v be_v occasion_v by_o the_o obscurity_n of_o my_o write_n no_o creature_n can_v be_v so_o perfect_a as_o not_o to_o commit_v error_n sometime_o and_o so_o may_v i_o in_o my_o philosophical_a work_n where_o the_o cause_n of_o natural_a effect_n be_v not_o obvious_a to_o every_o one_o sense_n wherefore_o if_o in_o some_o thing_n which_o yet_o be_v but_o few_o i_o have_v alter_v my_o conception_n from_o those_o i_o maintain_v heretofore_o none_o i_o hope_v will_v condemn_v i_o for_o it_o but_o rather_o account_v i_o so_o great_a a_o friend_n to_o truth_n that_o instead_o of_o be_v wed_v to_o my_o own_o opinion_n as_o some_o or_o most_o philosopher_n be_v who_o think_v it_o a_o great_a disgrace_n to_o go_v but_o a_o hair_n breadth_n from_o the_o least_o tittle_n of_o what_o they_o have_v once_o assert_v though_o the_o error_n be_v as_o plain_a as_o noonday_n i_o be_o most_o willing_a to_o desert_n what_o hitherto_o i_o have_v maintain_v upon_o more_o rational_a and_o probable_a argument_n than_o i_o and_o shall_v joyful_o embrace_v whatever_o i_o be_o in_o reason_n convince_v to_o come_v near_o to_o truth_n but_o find_v as_o yet_o my_o opinion_n ground_v upon_o sense_n and_o reason_n i_o be_o resolve_v

to_o be_v for_o as_o i_o say_v before_o self-moving_a matter_n and_o corporeal_a self-motion_n be_v equivalent_a and_o signify_v the_o same_o but_o i_o speak_v of_o particular_a motion_n which_o be_v

i_o have_v declare_v before_o for_o particular_a motion_n be_v but_o effect_n of_o self-moving_a matter_n but_o i_o call_v they_o principal_n because_o to_o our_o humane_a sense_n they_o seem_v to_o
