near_o enough_o to_o any_o body_n we_o perceive_v the_o motion_n and_o go_v of_o the_o same_o we_o distinguish_v it_o thereby_o from_o a_o tree_n a_o column_n and_o other_o fix_a body_n and_o so_o that_o motion_n or_o go_v be_v the_o property_n thereof_o as_o be_v proper_a to_o live_a creature_n and_o a_o faculty_n by_o which_o they_o make_v we_o distinguish_v they_o from_o other_o body_n 5_o how_o the_o knowledge_n of_o any_o effect_n may_v be_v get_v from_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o generation_n thereof_o may_v easy_o be_v understand_v by_o the_o example_n of_o a_o circle_n for_o if_o there_o be_v set_v before_o we_o a_o plain_a figure_n have_v as_o near_o as_o may_v be_v the_o figure_n of_o a_o circle_n we_o can_v possible_o perceive_v by_o sense_n whether_o it_o be_v a_o true_a

from_o the_o same_o point_n touch_v the_o circumference_n in_o every_o part_n thereof_o which_o be_v as_o much_o to_o say_v as_o all_o the_o radii_fw-la be_v equal_a we_o know_v therefore_o that_o

by_o application_n of_o body_n to_o one_o another_o we_o may_v produce_v the_o like_a effect_n of_o those_o we_o conceive_v in_o our_o mind_n as_o far_o forth_o as_o matter_n strength_n &_o industry_n

to_o teach_v another_o what_o he_o know_v himself_o if_o he_o think_v that_o will_v be_v the_o only_a benefit_n of_o his_o labour_n the_o end_n of_o knowledge_n be_v power_n and_o the_o use_n of_o

by_o which_o science_n how_o great_a benefit_n man_n receive_v be_v more_o easy_o understand_v then_o express_v these_o benefit_n be_v enjoy_v by_o almost_o all_o the_o people_n of_o europe_n by_o

than_o these_o have_v not_o all_o man_n one_o kind_n of_o soul_n and_o the_o same_o faculty_n of_o mind_n what_o then_o make_v this_o difference_n except_o philosophy_n philosophy_n therefore_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o all_o these_o benefit_n but_o the_o utility_n of_o moral_a and_o civil_a philosophy_n be_v to_o be_v estimate_v not_o so_o much_o by_o the_o commodity_n we_o have_v by_o know_v these_o science_n as_o by_o the_o calamity_n we_o receive_v from_o not_o know_v they_o now_o all_o such_o calamity_n as_o may_v be_v avoid_v by_o humane_a industry_n arise_v from_o war_n but_o chief_o from_o civil_a war_n for_o from_o this_o proceed_v slaughter_n solitude_n and_o the_o want_n of_o all_o thing_n but_o the_o cause_n of_o war_n be_v not_o that_o man_n be_v willing_a to_o have_v it_o for_o the_o will_n have_v nothing_o for_o object_n but_o good_a at_o least_o that_o which_o seem_v good_a nor_o be_v it_o from_o this_o that_o man_n know_v not_o that_o the_o effect_n of_o war_n be_v evil_a for_o who_o be_v there_o that_o think_v not_o poverty_n and_o loss_n of_o life_n to_o be_v great_a evil_n the_o cause_n therefore_o of_o civil_a war_n be_v that_o man_n know_v not_o the_o cause_n neither_o of_o war_n nor_o peace_n there_o be_v but_o few_o in_o the_o world_n that_o have_v learn_v those_o duty_n which_o unite_v and_o keep_v man_n in_o peace_n that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o have_v learn_v the_o rule_n of_o civil_a life_n sufficient_o now_o the_o knowledge_n of_o these_o rule_n be_v moral_a philosophy_n but_o why_o have_v they_o not_o learn_v they_o unless_o for_o this_o reason_n that_o none_o hitherto_o have_v teach_v they_o in_o a_o clear_a and_o exact_a method_n for_o what_o shall_v we_o say_v can_v the_o ancient_a master_n of_o greece_n egypt_n rome_n and_o

it_o or_o shall_v those_o few_o write_n of_o geometrician_n which_o be_v extant_a be_v think_v sufficient_a for_o the_o take_v away_o of_o all_o controversy_n in_o the_o matter_n they_o treat_v of_o and_o shall_v those_o innumerable_a and_o huge_a volume_n of_o ethic_n be_v think_v unsufficient_a if_o what_o they_o teach_v have_v be_v certain_a and_o well_o demonstrate_v what_o then_o can_v be_v imagine_v to_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o the_o write_n of_o those_o man_n have_v increase_v science_n and_o the_o write_n of_o these_o have_v increase_v nothing_o but_o word_n save_v that_o the_o

nevertheless_o i_o deny_v not_o but_o the_o read_n of_o some_o such_o book_n be_v very_o delightful_a for_o they_o be_v most_o eloquent_o write_v and_o contain_v many_o clear_a wholesome_a and_o

and_o person_n be_v change_v they_o be_v no_o less_o frequent_o make_v use_n of_o to_o confirm_v wicked_a man_n in_o their_o purpose_n then_o to_o make_v they_o understand_v the_o precept_n of_o civil_a duty_n now_o that_o which_o be_v chief_o want_v in_o they_o be_v a_o true_a and_o certain_a rule_n of_o our_o action_n by_o which_o we_o may_v know_v whether_o that_o we_o undertake_v be_v

which_o no_o man_n hitherto_o have_v establish_v see_v therefore_o from_o the_o not_o know_v of_o civil_a duty_n that_o be_v from_o the_o want_n of_o moral_a science_n proceed_v civil_a war_n and_o the_o great_a calamity_n of_o mankind_n we_o may_v very_o well_o attribute_n to_o
produce_v and_o power_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o same_o effect_n to_o be_v produce_v hereafter_o so_o that_o cause_o respect_v the_o past_a power_n the_o future_a time_n also_o the_o power_n of_o the_o agent_n be_v that_o which_o be_v common_o call_v active_a power_n in_o like_a manner_n whensoever_o any_o patient_n have_v all_o those_o accident_n which_o it_o be_v requisite_a it_o shall_v have_v for_o the_o production_n of_o some_o effect_n in_o it_o we_o say_v it_o be_v in_o the_o power_n of_o that_o patient_n to_o produce_v that_o effect_n if_o it_o be_v apply_v to_o a_o fit_a agent_n but_o those_o accident_n as_o be_v define_v in_o the_o precedent_a chapter_n constitute_v the_o material_a cause_n and_o therefore_o the_o power_n of_o the_o patient_n common_o call_v passive_a power_n and_o material_a cause_n be_v the_o same_o thing_n but_o with_o this_o different_a consideration_n that_o in_o cause_n the_o past_a time_n and_o in_o power_n the_o future_a be_v respect_v wherefore_o the_o power_n of_o the_o agent_n and_o patient_n together_o which_o may_v be_v call_v entire_a or_o plenary_a power_n be_v the_o same_o thing_n with_o entire_a cause_n for_o they_o both_o consist_v in_o the_o sum_n or_o aggregate_v of_o all_o the_o accident_n as_o well_o in_o the_o agent_n as_o in_o the_o patient_n which_o be_v requisite_a for_o the_o production_n of_o the_o effect_n last_o as_o the_o accident_n produce_v be_v in_o respect_n of_o the_o cause_n call_v a_o effect_n so_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o power_n it_o be_v call_v a_o act._n 2_o as_o therefore_o the_o effect_n be_v produce_v in_o the_o same_o instant_n in_o which_o the_o cause_n be_v entire_a so_o also_o every_o act_n that_o may_v be_v produce_v be_v produce_v in_o the_o same_o instant_n in_o which_o the_o power_n be_v plenary_a and_o as_o there_o can_v be_v no_o effect_n but_o from_o a_o sufficient_a and_o necessary_a cause_n so_o also_o no_o act_n can_v be_v produce_v but_o by_o sufficient_a power_n or_o that_o power_n by_o which_o it_o can_v not_o but_o be_v produce_v 3_o and_o as_o it_o be_v manifest_a as_o i_o have_v show_v that_o the_o efficient_a and_o material_a cause_n be_v several_o and_o by_o themselves_o part_v only_o of_o a_o entire_a cause_n and_o can_v produce_v any_o effect_n but_o by_o be_v join_v together_o so_o also_o power_n active_a and_o passive_a be_v part_n only_o of_o plenary_a and_o entire_a power_n nor_o except_o they_o be_v join_v can_v any_o act_n proceed_v from_o they_o and_o therefore_o these_o power_n as_o i_o say_v in_o the_o first_o article_n be_v but_o conditional_a namely_o the_o agent_n have_v power_n if_o it_o be_v apply_v to_o a_o patient_n and_o the_o patient_n have_v power_n if_o it_o be_v apply_v to_o a_o agent_n otherwise_o neither_o of_o they_o have_v power_n nor_o can_v the_o accident_n which_o be_v in_o they_o several_o be_v proper_o call_v power_n nor_o any_o action_n be_v say_v to_o be_v possible_a for_o the_o power_n of_o the_o agent_n alone_o or_o of_o the_o patient_n alone_o 4_o for_o that_o be_v a_o impossible_a act_n for_o the_o production_n of_o which_o there_o be_v no_o power_n plenary_a for_o see_v plenary_a power_n be_v that_o in_o which_o all_o thing_n concur_v which_o be_v requisite_a for_o the_o production_n of_o a_o act_n if_o the_o power_n shall_v never_o be_v plenary_a there_o will_v always_o be_v want_v some_o of_o those_o thing_n without_o which_o the_o act_n can_v be_v produce_v wherefore_o that_o act_n shall_v never_o be_v produce_v that_o be_v that_o act_n be_v impossible_a and_o every_o act_n which_o be_v not_o impossible_a be_v possible_a every_o act_n therefore_o which_o be_v possible_a shall_v at_o some_o time_n be_v produce_v for_o if_o it_o shall_v never_o be_v produce_v than_o those_o thing_n shall_v never_o concur_v which_o be_v requisite_a for_o the_o production_n of_o it_o wherefore_o that_o act_n be_v impossible_a by_o the_o definition_n which_o be_v contrary_a to_o what_o be_v suppose_v 5_o a_o necessary_a act_n be_v that_o the_o production_n whereof_o it_o be_v impossible_a to_o hinder_v and_o therefore_o every_o act_n that_o shall_v be_v produce_v shall_v necessary_o be_v produce_v for_o that_o it_o shall_v not_o be_v produce_v be_v impossible_a because_o as_o be_v already_o demonstrate_v every_o possible_a act_n shall_v at_o some_o time_n be_v produce_v nay_o this_o proposition_n what_o shall_v be_v shall_v be_v be_v as_o necessary_a a_o proposition_n as_o this_o a_o man_n be_v a_o man._n but_o here_o perhaps_o some_o man_n may_v ask_v whether_o those_o future_a thing_n which_o be_v common_o call_v contingent_n be_v necessary_a i_o say_v therefore_o that_o general_o all_o contingent_n have_v their_o necessary_a cause_n as_o be_v show_v in_o the_o precede_a chapter_n but_o be_v call_v contingent_n in_o respect_n of_o other_o event_n upon_o which_o they_o do_v not_o depend_v as_o the_o rain_n which_o shall_v be_v to_o morrow_n shall_v be_v necessary_o that_o be_v from_o necessary_a cause_n but_o we_o think_v and_o say_v it_o happen_v by_o chance_n because_o we_o do_v not_o yet_o perceive_v the_o cause_n thereof_o though_o they_o exist_v now_o for_o man_n common_o call_v that_o casual_a or_o contingent_a whereof_o they_o do_v not_o perceive_v the_o necessary_a cause_n and_o in_o the_o same_o manner_n they_o use_v to_o speak_v of_o thing_n past_a when_o not_o know_v whether_o a_o thing_n be_v do_v or_o no_o they_o say_v it_o be_v possible_a it_o never_o be_v do_v wherefore_o all_o proposition_n concern_v future_a thing_n contingent_a or_o not_o contingent_a as_o this_o it_o will_v rain_v to_o morrow_n or_o this_o to_o morrow_n the_o sun_n will_v rise_v be_v either_o necessary_o true_a or_o necessary_o false_a but_o we_o call_v they_o contingent_a because_o we_o do_v not_o yet_o know_v whether_o they_o be_v true_a or_o false_a whereas_o their_o verity_n depend_v not_o upon_o our_o knowledge_n but_o upon_o the_o forego_n of_o their_o cause_n but_o there_o be_v some_o who_o though_o they_o confess_v this_o whole_a proposition_n to_o morrow_n it_o will_v either_o rain_n or_o not_o rain_n to_o be_v true_a yet_o they_o will_v not_o acknowledge_v the_o part_n of_o it_o as_o to_z morrow_n it_o will_v rain_v or_o to_o morrow_n it_o will_v not_o rain_v to_o be_v either_o of_o they_o true_a by_o itself_o because_o they_o say_v neither_o this_o nor_o that_o be_v true_a determinate_o but_o what_o be_v this_o determinate_o true_a but_o true_a upon_o our_o knowledge_n or_o evident_o true_a and_o therefore_o they_o say_v no_o more_o but_o that_o it_o be_v not_o yet_o know_v whether_o it_o be_v true_a or_o no_o but_o they_o say_v it_o more_o obscure_o and_o darken_v the_o evidence_n of_o the_o truth_n with_o the_o same_o word_n with_o which_o they_o endeavour_v to_o hide_v their_o own_o ignorance_n 6_o in_o the_o 9th_o article_n of_o the_o precedent_a chapter_n i_o have_v show_v that_o the_o efficient_a cause_n of_o all_o motion_n and_o mutation_n consist_v in_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o agent_n or_o agent_n and_o in_o the_o first_o article_n of_o this_o chapter_n that_o the_o power_n of_o the_o agent_n be_v the_o same_o thing_n with_o the_o efficient_a cause_n from_o whence_o it_o may_v be_v understand_v that_o all_o active_a power_n consist_v in_o motion_n also_o and_o that_o power_n be_v not_o a_o certain_a accident_n which_o differ_v from_o all_o act_n but_o be_v indeed_o a_o act_n namely_o motion_n which_o be_v therefore_o call_v power_n because_o another_o act_n shall_v be_v produce_v by_o it_o afterward_o for_o example_n if_o of_o three_o body_n the_o first_o put_v forward_o the_o second_o and_o this_o the_o three_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o second_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o first_o which_o produce_v it_o be_v the_o act_n of_o the_o second_o body_n but_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o three_o it_o be_v the_o active_a power_n of_o the_o same_o second_o body_n 7_o the_o writer_n of_o metaphysic_n reckon_v up_o two_o other_o cause_n beside_o the_o efficient_a and_o material_a namely_o the_o essence_n which_o some_o call_v the_o
