they_o can_v have_v the_o same_o motion_n for_o the_o corporeal_a motion_n do_v make_v the_o nature_n of_o every_o particular_a creature_n and_o their_o difference_n and_o as_o the_o corporeal_a

though_o we_o do_v not_o see_v all_o creature_n move_v in_o that_o manner_n as_o man_n or_o animal_n do_v as_o to_o walk_v run_v leap_z ride_v etc._n etc._n and_o perform_v exterior_a act_n by_o

do_v not_o we_o see_v that_o nature_n be_v active_a in_o every_o thing_n yea_o the_o least_o of_o her_o creature_n for_o example_n how_o some_o thing_n do_v unanimous_o conspire_v and_o agree_v other_o antipathetical_o flee_v from_o each_o other_o and_o how_o some_o do_v increase_v other_o decrease_v some_o dissolve_v some_o consist_v and_o how_o all_o thing_n be_v subject_a to_o perpetual_a

as_o well_o as_o external_a alterative_a as_o well_o as_o constitutive_a and_o several_a other_o sort_n of_o motion_n not_o perceptible_a by_o our_o sense_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o all_o creature_n shall_v move_v after_o one_o sort_n of_o motion_n but_o you_o will_v say_v motion_n may_v be_v grant_v but_o not_o life_n sense_n and_o reason_n i_o answer_v i_o will_v fain_o

will_v neither_o know_v why_o whither_o nor_o what_o way_n or_o how_o to_o move_v but_o you_o may_v reply_v motion_n may_v be_v grant_v but_o not_o self-motion_n and_o life_n sense_n and_o reason_n do_v consist_v in_o self-motion_n i_o answer_v this_o be_v impossible_a for_o not_o any_o thing_n in_o nature_n can_v move_v natural_o without_o natural_a motion_n and_o all_o natural_a motion_n be_v self-motion_n if_o you_o say_v it_o may_v be_v move_v by_o another_o my_o answer_n be_v first_o that_o if_o a_o thing_n have_v no_o motion_n in_o itself_o but_o be_v move_v by_o another_o which_o have_v self-motion_n than_o it_o must_v give_v that_o immovable_a body_n motion_n of_o its_o own_o or_o else_o it_o can_v not_o move_v have_v no_o motion_n at_o all_o for_o it_o must_v move_v by_o the_o power_n of_o motion_n which_o be_v certain_a and_o than_o it_o must_v move_v either_o by_o its_o own_o motion_n or_o by_o a_o communicate_v or_o impart_v motion_n if_o by_o a_o communicate_v motion_n than_o the_o self-moveable_a thing_n or_o body_n must_v transfer_v its_o own_o motion_n into_o the_o immovable_a and_o lose_v so_o much_o of_o its_o own_o motion_n as_o it_o give_v away_o which_o be_v impossible_a as_o i_o have_v declare_v heretofore_o at_o large_a unless_o it_o do_v also_o transfer_v its_o move_a part_n together_o with_o it_o for_o motion_n can_v be_v transfer_v without_o substance_n but_o experience_n and_o observation_n witness_v the_o contrary_a next_o i_o say_v if_o it_o be_v possible_a that_o one_o body_n do_v move_v another_o then_o most_o part_n of_o natural_a creature_n which_o be_v count_v immovable_a of_o themselves_o or_o inanimate_a and_o destitute_a of_o self-motion_n must_v be_v move_v by_o a_o force_a or_o violent_a and_o not_o by_o a_o natural_a motion_n for_o all_o motion_n that_o proceed_v from_o a_o external_a agent_n or_o move_a power_n be_v not_o natural_a but_o force_v only_a self-motion_n be_v natural_a and_o then_o one_o thing_n move_v another_o in_o this_o manner_n we_o must_v at_o last_o proceed_v to_o such_o a_o thing_n which_o be_v not_o move_v by_o another_o but_o have_v motion_n in_o itself_o and_o move_v all_o other_o and_o perhaps_o since_o man_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o animal_n have_v self-motion_n it_o may_v be_v say_v that_o the_o motion_n of_o all_o other_o inanimate_a creature_n as_o they_o call_v they_o do_v proceed_v from_o they_o but_o man_n be_v so_o proud_a ambitious_a and_o self-conceited_a will_v soon_o exclude_v all_o other_o animal_n and_o ascribe_v this_o power_n only_o to_o himself_o especial_o since_o he_o think_v himself_o only_o endue_v with_o reason_n and_o to_o have_v this_o prerogative_n above_o all_o the_o rest_n as_o to_o be_v the_o sole_a rational_a creature_n in_o the_o world_n thus_o you_o see_v madam_n what_o confusion_n absurdity_n and_o constrain_v work_n will_v follow_v from_o the_o opinion_n of_o deny_v self-motion_n and_o so_o consequent_o life_n and_o sense_n to_o natural_a creature_n but_o i_o have_v make_v too_o long_o a_o digresion_n will_v return_v to_o your_o author_n discourse_n and_o as_o for_o that_o he_o say_v a_o dead_a carcase_n burn_v by_o the_o proper_a action_n of_o the_o fire_n i_o answer_v that_o if_o the_o dissolve_v motion_n of_o the_o fire_n be_v too_o strong_a for_o the_o consistent_a motion_n of_o that_o body_n which_o fire_n work_v upon_o than_o fire_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o its_o alteration_n but_o if_o the_o consistent_a motion_n of_o the_o body_n be_v too_o strong_a for_o the_o dissolve_v motion_n of_o the_o fire_n than_o the_o fire_n can_v make_v no_o alteration_n in_o it_o again_o he_o say_v calx_fw-la vive_fw-la as_o long_o as_o it_o remain_v dry_a it_o gnaw_v not_o a_o dead_a carcase_n but_o it_o present_o

but_o it_o do_v not_o consume_v live_a flesh_n into_o a_o liquor_n but_o translate_v it_o into_o a_o escharre_n i_o will_v say_v no_o more_o to_o this_o but_o that_o i_o have_v full_o enough_o

or_o motion_n of_o life_n change_n and_o differ_v in_o every_o figure_n and_o this_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o the_o action_n of_o fire_n time_n and_o calxvive_a have_v not_o the_o same_o effect_n in_o a_o dead_a carcase_n as_o in_o a_o live_a body_n for_o the_o difference_n of_o their_o figure_n and_o their_o different_a motion_n produce_v different_a effect_n in_o they_o and_o this_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o one_o and_o the_o same_o fire_n do_v not_o burn_v or_o act_v upon_o all_o body_n alike_o for_o some_o it_o dissolve_v and_o some_o not_o and_o some_o it_o harden_v and_o some_o it_o consume_v and_o some_o late_a some_o soon_o for_o put_v thing_n of_o several_a nature_n into_o the_o same_o fire_n and_o you_o will_v see_v how_o they_o will_v burn_v or_o how_o fire_n will_v act_v upon_o they_o after_o several_a manner_n so_o that_o fire_n can_v alter_v the_o action_n of_o several_a body_n to_o its_o own_o blas_fw-es and_o therefore_o since_o a_o live_n and_o a_o dead_a

and_o if_o equal_a in_o their_o strength_n they_o will_v make_v a_o stop_n and_o the_o sensitive_a organ_n will_v be_v very_o much_o pain_v true_o madam_n in_o my_o opinion_n it_o will_v be_v like_o that_o custom_n which_o former_o have_v be_v use_v at_o newcastle_n when_o a_o man_n be_v marry_v the_o guest_n divide_v themselves_o behind_o and_o before_o the_o bridegroom_n the_o one_o party_n drive_v he_o back_o the_o other_o forward_o so_o that_o one_o time_n a_o bridegroom_n be_v kill_v in_o this_o fashion_n but_o certain_o nature_n have_v a_o more_o quick_a and_o easy_a way_n of_o give_v intelligence_n and_o knowledge_n to_o her_o creature_n and_o do_v not_o use_v such_o constraint_n and_o force_n in_o her_o action_n neither_o be_v sense_n or_o sensitive_a perception_n a_o mere_a phantasm_n or_o idea_n but_o a_o corporeal_a action_n of_o the_o sensitive_a and_o rational_a matter_n and_o according_a to_o the_o variation_n of_o the_o object_n or_o pattern_n and_o the_o sensitive_a and_o rational_a motion_n the_o perception_n also_o be_v various_a produce_v not_o by_o external_a pressure_n but_o by_o internal_a self-motion_n as_o i_o have_v declare_v heretofore_o and_o to_o prove_v that_o the_o sensitive_a and_o rational_a corporeal_a motion_n be_v the_o only_a cause_n of_o perception_n i_o say_v if_o those_o motion_n in_o a_o animal_n move_v in_o another_o way_n and_o not_o to_o such_o perception_n than_o that_o animal_n can_v neither_o hear_v see_v taste_n smell_v nor_o touch_v although_o all_o his_o sensitive_a organ_n be_v perfect_a as_o be_v evident_a in_o a_o man_n fall_v into_o a_o swoon_n where_o all_o the_o time_n he_o be_v in_o a_o swoon_n the_o pressure_n of_o the_o object_n be_v make_v without_o any_o effect_n wherefore_o as_o the_o sensitive_a and_o rational_a corporeal_a motion_n make_v all_o that_o be_v in_o nature_n so_o likewise_o they_o make_v perception_n as_o be_v perception_n itself_o for_o all_o self-motion_n be_v perception_n but_o all_o perception_n be_v not_o animal_n perception_n or_o after_o a_o animal_n way_n and_o therefore_o sense_n can_v decay_v nor_o die_v but_o what_o be_v call_v a_o decay_n or_o death_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o change_n or_o alteration_n of_o those_o motion_n but_o you_o will_v say_v madam_n it_o may_v be_v that_o one_o body_n as_o a_o object_n leave_v the_o print_n of_o its_o figure_n in_o the_o next_o adjoin_v body_n until_o it_o come_v to_o the_o organ_n of_o sense_n i_o answer_v that_o then_o sost_a body_n only_o must_v be_v press_v and_o the_o object_n must_v be_v so_o hard_a as_o to_o make_v a_o print_n and_o as_o for_o rare_a part_n of_o matter_n they_o be_v not_o able_a to_o retain_v a_o print_n without_o self-motion_n wherefore_o it_o be_v not_o probable_a that_o the_o part_n of_o air_n shall_v receive_v a_o print_n and_o print_v the_o same_o again_o upon_o the_o adjoin_a part_n until_o the_o last_o part_n of_o the_o air_n print_v it_o upon_o the_o eye_n and_o that_o the_o exterior_a part_n of_o the_o organ_n shall_v print_v upon_o the_o interior_a till_o it_o come_v to_o the_o centre_n of_o the_o brain_n without_o self-motion_n wherefore_o in_o my_o opinion_n perception_n be_v not_o cause_v either_o by_o the_o print_n of_o object_n nor_o by_o pressure_n for_o pressure_n will_v make_v a_o general_a stop_n of_o all_o natural_a motion_n especial_o if_o there_o be_v any_o reaction_n or_o resistance_n of_o sense_n but_o according_a to_o my_o reason_n the_o sensitive_a and_o rational_a corporeal_a motion_n in_o one_o body_n pattern_n out_o the_o figure_n of_o another_o body_n as_o of_o a_o exterior_a object_n which_o may_v be_v do_v easy_o without_o any_o pressure_n or_o reaction_n i_o will_v not_o say_v that_o there_o be_v no_o pressure_n or_o reaction_n in_o nature_n but_o pressure_n and_o reaction_n do_v not_o make_v perception_n for_o the_o sensitive_a and_o rational_a part_n of_o matter_n make_v all_o

rather_o then_o the_o sun_n and_o though_o corporeal_a motion_n for_o variety_n make_v whirlwind_n yet_o whirlwind_n be_v not_o constant_a neither_o can_v i_o believe_v that_o the_o swiftness_n of_o

make_v it_o swift_a or_o slow_a and_o not_o motion_n the_o subtlety_n and_o purity_n of_o matter_n motion_n be_v only_o the_o action_n of_o matter_n and_o the_o self-moving_a part_n of_o matter_n be_v the_o work_a part_n of_o nature_n which_o be_v wise_a and_o know_v how_o to_o move_v and_o form_v every_o creature_n without_o instruction_n and_o this_o self-motion_n be_v as_o much_o her_o own_o

of_o herself_o as_o for_o the_o several_a part_n of_o matter_n i_o do_v believe_v that_o they_o be_v not_o all_o of_o one_o and_o the_o same_o bigness_n nor_o of_o one_o and_o the_o same_o figure_n neither_o do_v i_o hold_v their_o figure_n to_o be_v unalterable_a for_o if_o all_o part_n in_o nature_n be_v corporeal_a they_o be_v dividable_a composable_a and_o intermixable_a and_o then_o they_o can_v be_v always_o of_o one_o and_o the_o same_o sort_n of_o figure_n beside_o nature_n will_v not_o have_v so_o much_o work_v if_o there_o be_v no_o change_n of_o figure_n and_o since_o her_o only_a action_n be_v change_v of_o motion_n change_n of_o motion_n must_v needs_o make_v change_n of_o figure_n and_o thus_o natural_a part_n of_o matter_n may_v change_v from_o line_n to_o point_n and_o from_o point_n to_o line_n from_o square_n to_o circle_n and_o so_o forth_o infinite_a way_n according_a to_o the_o change_n of_o motion_n but_o though_o they_o change_v their_o figure_n yet_o they_o can_v change_v their_o matter_n for_o matter_n as_o it_o have_v be_v so_o it_o remain_v constant_o in_o each_o degree_n as_o the_o rational_a sensitive_a and_o inanimate_a none_o become_v pure_a none_o grosser_n than_o ever_o it_o be_v notwithstanding_o the_o infinite_a change_n of_o motion_n which_o their_o figure_n undergo_v for_o motion_n change_v only_o the_o figure_n not_o the_o matter_n itself_o which_o continue_v still_o the_o same_o in_o its_o nature_n and_o can_v be_v alter_v without_o a_o confusion_n or_o destruction_n of_o nature_n and_o this_o be_v the_o constant_a opinion_n of_o madam_n your_o faithful_a friend_n and_o humble_a servant_n xxxiv_o madam_n that_o rarefaction_n be_v only_o a_o change_n of_o figure_n according_a to_o your_o author_n opinion_n be_v in_o my_o reason_n 7._o very_o probable_a but_o when_o he_o say_v that_o in_o rarify_v body_n be_v little_a interval_n or_o pore_n fill_v up_o with_o some_o other_o subtle_a matter_n if_o he_o mean_v that_o all_o rarefy_v body_n be_v porous_a i_o dissent_v from_o he_o for_o it_o be_v not_o necessary_a that_o all_o rarefy_v body_n shall_v be_v porous_a and_o all_o hard_a body_n without_o pore_n but_o if_o there_o be_v a_o probability_n of_o pore_n i_o be_o of_o opinion_n it_o will_v be_v more_o in_o dense_n and_o hard_a than_o in_o rare_a and_o soft_a body_n as_o for_o example_n rarify_n and_o dilate_v motion_n be_v plain_v smooth_a spread_a and_o make_v all_o part_n even_o which_o can_v not_o well_o be_v if_o there_o be_v hole_n or_o pore_n earth_n be_v dense_a and_o hard_a and_o yet_o be_v porous_a and_o flame_n be_v rare_a and_o dilate_v and_o yet_o be_v not_o porous_a and_o certain_o water_n be_v not_o so_o porous_a as_o earth_n wherefore_o pore_n in_o my_o opinion_n be_v according_a to_o the_o nature_n or_o form_n of_o the_o figure_n and_o not_o according_a to_o the_o rarity_n or_o thinness_n and_o density_n or_o thickness_n of_o the_o substance_n as_o for_o his_o thin_a and_o subtle_a matter_n fill_v up_o the_o pore_n of_o porous_a body_n i_o assent_n to_o your_o author_n so_o far_o that_o i_o mean_v thin_a and_o thick_a or_o rare_a and_o dense_a substance_n be_v join_v and_o mix_v together_o as_o for_o plain_v smooth_a and_o spread_v i_o do_v not_o mean_v so_o much_o artificial_a plain_a and_o spread_v as_o for_o example_n when_o a_o piece_n of_o gold_n be_v beat_v

i_o conclude_v rest_v madam_n your_o faithful_a friend_n and_o servant_n xxxv_o madam_n that_o the_o mind_n according_a to_o your_o author_n opinion_n be_v a_o substance_n real_o distinct_a from_o

and_o subtle_a be_v not_o withal_o pure_a to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o all_o rare_a body_n be_v not_o subtle_a nor_o pure_a and_o that_o all_o which_o be_v dense_a be_v not_o gross_a and_o dull_a as_o for_o example_n puddle-water_n or_o also_o clear_a water_n be_v rare_a than_o quicksilver_n and_o yet_o not_o so_o subtle_a and_o pure_a as_o quicksilver_n the_o like_a of_o gold_n for_o quicksilver_n and_o gold_n may_v be_v rarify_v to_o a_o transparentness_n and_o yet_o be_v so_o dense_a as_o not_o to_o be_v easy_o dissolve_v and_o quicksilver_n be_v very_o subtle_a and_o search_a so_o as_o to_o be_v able_a to_o force_v other_o body_n to_o divide_v as_o well_o as_o it_o can_v divide_v and_o compose_v its_o own_o part_n wherefore_o my_o opinion_n be_v that_o the_o pure_a and_o subtle_a degree_n of_o matter_n in_o nature_n be_v that_o degree_n of_o matter_n which_o can_v dilate_v and_o contract_v compose_v and_o divide_v into_o any_o figure_n by_o corporeal_a self-motion_n your_o second_o question_n be_v why_o a_o man_n hand_n can_v break_v a_o little_a hard_a body_n as_o a_o little_a nail_n whereas_o yet_o it_o be_v big_a than_o the_o nail_n i_o answer_v it_o be_v not_o because_o the_o hand_n be_v soft_a than_o the_o nail_n for_o one_o hard_a body_n will_v not_o break_v sudden_o another_o hard_a body_n and_o a_o man_n may_v easy_o break_v a_o iron_n nail_n with_o his_o hand_n as_o i_o have_v be_v inform_v but_o it_o be_v some_o kind_n of_o motion_n which_o can_v easy_o do_v it_o than_o another_o for_o i_o have_v see_v a_o strong_a cord_n wound_v about_o both_o a_o man_n hand_n who_o pull_v his_o hand_n as_o hard_a and_o strong_o asunder_o as_o he_o can_v and_o yet_o be_v not_o able_a to_o break_v it_o when_o as_o a_o youth_n take_v the_o same_o cord_n and_o wind_v it_o about_o his_o hand_n as_o the_o former_a do_v immediate_o break_v it_o the_o cause_n be_v that_o he_o do_v it_o with_o another_o kind_n of_o motion_n or_o pull_v than_o the_o other_o do_v which_o though_o he_o use_v as_o much_o force_n and_o strength_n as_o he_o be_v able_a yet_o can_v not_o break_v it_o when_o the_o boy_n do_v break_v it_o with_o the_o great_a ease_n and_o turn_v only_o his_o hand_n a_o little_a which_o show_v that_o many_o thing_n may_v be_v do_v by_o a_o slight_a of_o motion_n which_o otherwise_o a_o great_a strength_n and_o force_n can_v do_v this_o be_v my_o answer_n and_o opinion_n concern_v your_o propose_a question_n if_o you_o have_v any_o more_o i_o shall_v be_v ready_a to_o obey_v you_o as_o madam_n your_o faithful_a friend_n and_o

for_o though_o art_n be_v the_o action_n of_o life_n yet_o it_o be_v not_o life_n itself_o not_o but_o that_o there_o be_v life_n in_o art_n but_o not_o art_n in_o life_n for_o life_n be_v natural_a

whether_o a_o part_n of_o matter_n may_v be_v so_o small_a as_o it_o can_v be_v make_v less_o i_o answer_v there_o be_v no_o such_o thing_n in_o nature_n as_o big_a or_o least_o nature_n be_v

to_o give_v such_o power_n to_o matter_n as_o to_o a_o other_o incorporeal_a substance_n but_o i_o suppose_v this_o opinion_n of_o natural_a immaterial_a spirit_n do_v proceed_v from_o chemistry_n

first_o i_o think_v it_o too_o great_a a_o presumption_n in_o any_o man_n to_o feign_v himself_o so_o much_o above_o the_o rest_n as_o to_o accuse_v all_o other_o of_o ignorance_n and_o that_o none_o

have_v be_v blind_v with_o error_n for_o certain_o no_o particular_a creature_n in_o nature_n can_v have_v any_o exact_a or_o perfect_a knowledge_n of_o natural_a thing_n and_o therefore_o opinion_n can_v be_v infallible_a truth_n although_o they_o may_v seem_v probable_a for_o how_o be_v it_o possible_a that_o a_o single_a finite_a creature_n shall_v know_v the_o numberless_a variety_n and_o

of_o immaterial_o and_o non-being_n so_o art_n be_v ignorant_a of_o nature_n for_o mathematical_a rule_n measure_n and_o demonstration_n can_v rule_v measure_n nor_o demonstrate_v nature_n no_o more_o

nor_o the_o evil_a spirit_n be_v the_o creator_n of_o death_n but_o man_n only_o who_o make_v death_n for_o himself_o neither_o do_v nature_n make_v death_n but_o man_n make_v death_n natural_a which_o if_o it_o be_v so_o then_o death_n be_v to_o my_o opinion_n a_o natural_a creature_n as_o well_o as_o life_n sickness_n and_o health_n man_n certain_o have_v great_a power_n as_o to_o be_v the_o creator_n of_o a_o natural_a creature_n but_o i_o will_v fain_o know_v the_o reason_n why_o your_o author_n be_v so_o unwilling_a to_o make_v god_n the_o author_n of_o death_n and_o sickness_n as_o well_o as_o of_o damnation_n do_v it_o imply_v any_o impiety_n or_o irreligiousness_n do_v not_o god_n punish_v as_o well_o as_o reward_v and_o be_v not_o death_n a_o punishment_n for_o our_o

there_o be_v but_o one_o matter_n and_o that_o infinite_a and_o certain_o humane_a sense_n and_o reason_n may_v well_o perceive_v that_o there_o can_v be_v but_o one_o matter_n for_o several_a kind_n of_o matter_n will_v make_v a_o confusion_n and_o thus_o if_o new_a creature_n be_v make_v only_o by_o substanceless_a motion_n it_o will_v not_o only_o be_v a_o infinite_a trouble_n to_o nature_n

heat_n be_v not_o corporeal_a but_o that_o those_o corporeal_a motion_n which_o make_v heat_n work_v invisible_o and_o not_o visible_o like_a as_o fire_n feed_v on_o fuel_n or_o man_n on_o meat_n also_o when_o i_o say_v excercise_n among_o animal_n get_v ibid._n strength_n i_o mean_v that_o by_o excercise_n the_o inherent_a natural_a motion_n of_o a_o animal_n body_n be_v more_o active_a as_o be_v more_o industrious_a when_o i_o say_v that_o the_o passage_n whence_o cold_a and_o sharp_a 45._o wind_n do_v issue_n out_o be_v narrow_a i_o mean_v when_o as_o such_o or_o such_o part_n disjoin_v or_o separate_v from_o other_o part_n as_o for_o example_n when_o dilate_v part_n disjoin_v from_o contract_a part_n and_o oftentimes_o the_o disjoyn_a part_n do_v move_v according_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o those_o part_n they_o disjoin_v from_o concern_v the_o action_n of_o nature_n my_o meaning_n be_v that_o there_o be_v not_o any_o action_n whatsoever_o but_o be_v always_o in_o nature_n and_o remain_v in_o nature_n so_o long_o as_o it_o please_v god_n that_o nature_n shall_v last_v and_o of_o all_o her_o action_n perception_n and_o self-love_n be_v she_o prime_n and_o chief_a action_n wherefore_o it_o be_v impossible_a but_o that_o all_o her_o particular_a creature_n or_o part_n must_v be_v know_v as_o well_o as_o self-moving_a there_o be_v not_o one_o part_n or_o particle_n of_o nature_n that_o have_v not_o its_o share_n of_o animate_v or_o self-moving_a matter_n and_o consequent_o of_o knowledge_n and_o self-love_n each_o according_a to_o its_o own_o kind_a and_o nature_n but_o by_o reason_n all_o the_o part_n be_v of_o one_o matter_n and_o belong_v to_o one_o body_n each_o be_v unalterable_a so_o far_o that_o although_o it_o can_v change_v its_o figure_n yet_o it_o can_v change_v or_o alter_v from_o be_v matter_n or_o a_o part_n of_o infinite_a nature_n and_o this_o be_v the_o cause_n there_o can_v be_v a_o confusion_n among_o those_o part_n of_o nature_n but_o there_o must_v be_v a_o constant_a union_n and_o harmony_n betwixt_o they_o for_o cross_v and_o opposite_a action_n make_v no_o confusion_n but_o only_o a_o variety_n and_o such_o action_n which_o be_v different_a cross_a and_o opposite_a not_o move_v always_o after_o their_o usual_a and_o accustom_a way_n i_o name_v irregular_a for_o want_v of_o a_o better_a expression_n but_o proper_o there_o be_v no_o such_o thing_n as_o irregularity_n in_o nature_n nor_o no_o weariness_n rest_n sleep_n sickness_n death_n or_o destruction_n no_o more_o than_o there_o be_v place_n space_n time_n mode_n accident_n and_o thelike_o any_o thing_n beside_o body_n or_o matter_n when_o i_o speak_v of_o unnatural_a motion_n i_o mean_v such_o as_o be_v not_o proper_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o such_o or_o such_o a_o creature_n 11._o as_o be_v opposite_a or_o destructive_a to_o it_o that_o be_v moving_z or_o act_v towards_o its_o dissolution_n also_o when_o i_o call_v violence_n supernatural_a i_o mean_v that_o violence_n be_v beyond_o the_o particular_a nature_n of_o such_o a_o particular_a creature_n that_o be_v beyond_o its_o natural_a motion_n but_o not_o supernatural_a that_o be_v beyond_o infinite_a nature_n or_o natural_a matter_n when_o i_o say_v a_o thing_n be_v force_v i_o do_v not_o mean_v that_o the_o force_a body_n receive_v strength_n without_o matter_n but_o that_o some_o corporeal_a motion_n join_v with_o other_o corporeal_a motion_n and_o so_o double_a the_o strength_n by_o join_v their_o part_n or_o be_v at_o least_o a_o occasion_n to_o make_v other_o part_n more_o industrious_a by_o print_n i_o understand_v the_o figure_n of_o the_o object_n which_o be_v pattern_v or_o copy_v out_o by_o the_o sensitive_a and_o rational_a corporeal_a figurative_a motion_n as_o for_o example_n when_o the_o sensitive_a corporeal_a motion_n pattern_n out_o the_o figure_n of_o a_o exterior_a object_n and_o the_o rational_a motion_n again_o pattern_n out_o a_o figure_n make_v by_o the_o sensitive_a motion_n those_o figure_n of_o the_o object_n that_o be_v pattern_v out_o i_o name_n print_v as_o for_o example_n the_o sense_n of_o see_v be_v not_o capable_a to_o receive_v the_o print_n that_o be_v the_o figure_n or_o pattern_n 2._o of_o the_o object_n of_o the_o whole_a earth_n and_o again_o the_o rational_a motion_n be_v not_o always_o exact_o after_o the_o sensitive_a print_n that_o be_v after_o the_o figure_n make_v by_o the_o sensitive_a motion_n thus_o by_o print_n i_o understand_v pattern_n and_o by_o print_v patterning_a not_o that_o the_o exterior_a object_n print_v its_o figure_n upon_o the_o exterior_a sensitive_a organ_n but_o that_o the_o sensitive_a motion_n in_o the_o organ_n pattern_n out_o the_o figure_n of_o the_o object_n but_o though_o all_o print_n be_v do_v by_o the_o way_n of_o pattern_v yet_o all_o pattern_v be_v not_o print_v therefore_o when_o i_o say_v that_o solid_a body_n print_v their_o figure_n in_o that_o which_o be_v more_o porous_a and_o soft_a and_o 23._o that_o those_o solid_a body_n make_v new_a print_n perpetual_o and_o as_o they_o remove_v the_o print_n melt_v out_o like_o verbal_a or_o vocal_a sound_n which_o print_n word_n and_o set_v note_n in_o the_o air_n i_o mean_v the_o soft_a body_n by_o its_o own_o self-motion_n pattern_n out_o the_o figure_n of_o the_o solid_a body_n and_o not_o that_o the_o solid_a body_n make_v its_o own_o print_n and_o so_o leave_v the_o place_n of_o its_o own_o substance_n with_o the_o print_n in_o the_o soft_a body_n for_o place_n remain_v always_o with_o its_o own_o body_n and_o can_v be_v separate_v from_o it_o they_o be_v but_o one_o thing_n for_o example_n when_o a_o seal_n be_v print_v in_o wax_n the_o seal_n give_v not_o any_o thing_n to_o the_o wax_n but_o be_v only_o a_o object_n pattern_v out_o by_o the_o figurative_a motion_n of_o the_o wax_n in_o the_o action_n of_o print_v or_o seal_v when_o i_o make_v mention_n of_o what_o the_o sense_n bring_v in_o i_o mean_v what_o the_o sensitive_a motion_n pattern_v out_o of_o foreign_a 13._o object_n and_o when_o i_o say_v that_o the_o pore_n be_v shut_v touch_n can_v enter_v i_o mean_v the_o sensitive_a corporeal_a 12._o motion_n can_v make_v pattern_n of_o outward_a object_n also_o when_o i_o say_v our_o ear_n may_v be_v as_o know_v as_o our_o eye_n and_o so_o of_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o sensitive_a organ_n i_o mean_v the_o sensitive_a motion_n in_o those_o part_n or_o organ_n when_o i_o say_v the_o more_o the_o body_n be_v at_o rest_n the_o more_o active_a or_o busy_a be_v the_o mind_n i_o mean_v when_o the_o sensitive_a 13._o motion_n be_v not_o take_v up_o with_o the_o action_n of_o pattern_v out_o foreign_a object_n when_o i_o say_v the_o air_n be_v fill_v with_o sound_n and_o that_o word_n be_v receive_v into_o the_o ear_n as_o figure_n of_o exterior_a 29._o object_n be_v receive_v into_o the_o eye_n i_o mean_v the_o sensitive_a motion_n of_o the_o air_n pattern_n out_o sound_a and_o the_o sensitive_a motion_n of_o the_o ear_n pattern_n out_o word_n as_o the_o sensitive_a figurative_a motion_n of_o the_o eye_n pattern_n out_o the_o figure_n of_o external_a object_n also_o when_o i_o speak_v of_o thunder_n and_o lightning_n to_o wit_n that_o thunder_n make_v a_o great_a noise_n by_o the_o break_n of_o line_n my_o meaning_n be_v that_o the_o air_n pattern_n out_o this_o sound_n or_o noise_n of_o the_o line_n and_o by_o reason_n there_o be_v so_o many_o pattern_n make_v in_o the_o air_n by_o its_o sensitive_a motion_n the_o ear_n can_v take_v so_o exact_a a_o copy_n thereof_o but_o somewhat_o confuse_o and_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o thunder_n be_v represent_v or_o rather_o pattern_v out_o with_o some_o terror_n for_o thunder_n be_v a_o confuse_a noise_n because_o the_o pattern_n be_v make_v confuse_o but_o concern_v sound_a and_o light_n i_o be_o force_v to_o acquaint_v you_o madam_n that_o my_o meaning_n thereof_o be_v not_o so_o well_o express_v in_o my_o book_n of_o philosophy_n by_o reason_n i_o be_v not_o of_o the_o same_o opinion_n at_o that_o time_n when_o i_o do_v write_v that_o book_n which_o i_o be_o now_o of_o for_o upon_o better_a consideration_n and_o a_o more_o diligent_a search_n into_o the_o cause_n of_o natural_a effect_n i_o have_v find_v it_o more_o probable_a that_o all_o sensitive_a perception_n be_v make_v by_o the_o way_n of_o pattern_v and_o so_o consequent_o the_o perception_n of_o sound_n and_o of_o light_n wherefore_o i_o beseech_v you_o when_o
