that_o do_v not_o move_v to_o those_o perception_n so_o that_o no_o pressure_n can_v be_v make_v for_o all_o pressure_n be_v by_o some_o constraint_n and_o force_n wherefore_o according_a to_o my_o opinion_n the_o sensitive_a and_o rational_a free_a motion_n do_v pattern_n out_o each_o other_o object_n as_o figure_n and_o voice_n in_o each_o other_o eye_n and_o ear_n for_o life_n and_o knowledge_n which_o i_o name_v rational_a and_o sensitive_a matter_n be_v in_o every_o creature_n and_o in_o all_o part_n of_o every_o creature_n and_o make_v all_o perception_n in_o nature_n because_o they_o be_v the_o self-moving_a part_n of_o nature_n and_o according_a as_o those_o corporeal_a rational_a and_o sensitive_a motion_n move_v such_o or_o such_o perception_n be_v make_v but_o these_o self-moving_a part_n be_v of_o different_a degree_n for_o the_o rational_a matter_n be_v pure_a than_o the_o sensitive_a it_o cause_v a_o double_a perception_n in_o all_o creature_n whereof_o one_o be_v make_v by_o the_o rational_a corporeal_a motion_n and_o the_o other_o by_o the_o sensitive_a and_o though_o both_o perception_n be_v in_o all_o the_o body_n and_o in_o every_o part_n of_o the_o body_n of_o a_o creature_n yet_o the_o sensitive_a corporeal_a motion_n have_v their_o proper_a organ_n as_o work-house_n in_o which_o they_o work_v some_o sort_n of_o perception_n those_o perception_n be_v most_o common_o make_v in_o those_o organ_n and_o be_v double_a again_o for_o the_o sensitive_a motion_n work_n either_o on_o the_o inside_n or_o on_o the_o outside_n of_o those_o organ_n on_o the_o inside_n in_o dream_n on_o the_o outside_n awake_a and_o although_o both_o the_o rational_a and_o the_o sensitive_a matter_n be_v inseparable_o join_v and_o mix_v together_o yet_o do_v they_o not_o always_o work_v together_o for_o oftentimes_o the_o rational_a work_n without_o any_o sensitive_a pattern_n and_o the_o sensitive_a again_o without_o any_o rational_a pattern_n but_o mistake_v i_o not_o madam_n for_o i_o do_v not_o absolute_o confine_v the_o sensitive_a perception_n to_o the_o organ_n nor_o the_o rational_a to_o the_o brain_n but_o as_o they_o be_v both_o in_o the_o whole_a body_n so_o they_o may_v work_v in_o the_o whole_a body_n according_a to_o their_o own_o motion_n neither_o do_v i_o say_v that_o there_o be_v no_o other_o perception_n in_o the_o eye_n but_o sight_n in_o the_o ear_n but_o hear_v and_o so_o forth_o but_o the_o sensitive_a organ_n have_v other_o perception_n beside_o these_o and_o if_o the_o sensitive_a and_o rational_a motion_n be_v irregular_a in_o those_o part_n between_o which_o the_o perception_n be_v make_v as_o for_o example_n in_o the_o two_o forementioned_a man_n that_o see_v and_o hear_v each_o other_o than_o they_o both_o neither_o see_v nor_o hear_v each_o other_o perfect_o and_o if_o one_o motion_n be_v perfect_a but_o the_o other_n be_v irregular_a and_o erroneous_a than_o one_o see_v and_o hear_v better_a than_o the_o other_o or_o if_o the_o sensitive_a and_o rational_a motion_n move_v more_o regular_o and_o make_v perfect_a pattern_n in_o the_o eye_n then_o in_o the_o ear_n than_o they_o see_v better_a than_o they_o hear_v and_o if_o more_o regular_o and_o perfect_o in_o the_o ear_n then_o in_o the_o eye_n they_o hear_v better_o than_o they_o see_v and_o so_o it_o may_v be_v say_v of_o each_o man_n single_o for_o one_o man_n may_v see_v the_o other_o better_a and_o more_o perfect_o than_o the_o other_o may_v see_v he_o and_o this_o man_n may_v hear_v the_o other_o better_a and_o more_o perfect_o than_o the_o other_o may_v hear_v he_o whereas_o if_o perception_n be_v make_v by_o pressure_n there_o will_v not_o be_v any_o such_o mistake_n beside_o the_o hard_a pressure_n of_o object_n in_o my_o opinion_n will_v rather_o annoy_v and_o obscure_v then_o inform_v but_o as_o soon_o as_o the_o object_n be_v remove_v the_o perception_n of_o it_o make_v by_o the_o sensitive_a motion_n in_o the_o organ_n cease_v by_o reason_n the_o sensitive_a motion_n cease_v from_o patern_v but_o yet_o the_o rational_a motion_n do_v not_o always_o cease_v so_o sudden_o because_o the_o sensitive_a corporeal_a motion_n work_v with_o the_o inanimate_a matter_n and_o therefore_o can_v retain_v particular_a figure_n long_o whereas_o the_o rational_a matter_n do_v only_o move_v in_o its_o own_o substance_n and_o part_n of_o matter_n and_o upon_o none_o other_o as_o my_o book_n of_o philosophical_a opinion_n will_v inform_v you_o better_o and_o thus_o perception_n in_o my_o opinion_n be_v not_o make_v by_o pressure_n nor_o by_o species_n nor_o by_o matter_n go_v either_o from_o the_o organ_n to_o the_o object_n or_o from_o the_o object_n into_o the_o organ_n by_o this_o it_o be_v also_o manifest_a that_o understanding_n come_v not_o from_o exterior_a object_n or_o from_o the_o exterior_a sensitive_a organ_n for_o as_o exterior_a object_n do_v not_o make_v perception_n so_o they_o do_v neither_o make_v understanding_n but_o it_o be_v the_o rational_a matter_n that_o do_v it_o for_o understanding_n may_v be_v without_o exterior_a object_n and_o sensitive_a organ_n and_o this_o in_o short_a be_v the_o opinion_n of_o madam_n your_o faithful_a friend_n and_o servant_n v._o madam_n your_o author_n opinion_n be_v 2._o that_o when_o a_o thing_n lie_v still_o unless_o somewhat_o else_o stir_v it_o it_o will_v lie_v still_o for_o ever_o but_o when_o a_o thing_n be_v in_o motion_n it_o will_v eternal_o be_v in_o motion_n unless_o somewhat_o else_o stay_v it_o the_o reason_n be_v say_v he_o because_o nothing_o can_v change_v itself_o to_o tell_v you_o true_o madam_n i_o be_o not_o of_o his_o opinion_n for_o if_o matter_n move_v itself_o as_o certain_o it_o do_v than_o the_o least_o part_n of_o matter_n be_v it_o so_o small_a as_o to_o seem_v individable_a will_v move_v itself_o it_o be_v true_a it_o can_v not_o desist_v from_o motion_n as_o be_v its_o nature_n to_o move_v and_o no_o thing_n can_v change_v its_o nature_n for_o god_n himself_o who_o have_v more_o power_n then_o self-moving_a matter_n can_v change_v himself_o from_o be_v god_n but_o that_o motion_n shall_v proceed_v from_o another_o exterior_a body_n join_v with_o or_o touch_v that_o body_n which_o it_o move_v be_v in_o my_o opinion_n not_o probable_a for_o though_o nature_n be_v all_o corporeal_a and_o her_o action_n be_v corporeal_a motion_n yet_o that_o do_v not_o prove_v that_o the_o motion_n of_o particular_a creature_n or_o part_n be_v cause_v by_o the_o join_n touch_v or_o press_v of_o part_n upon_o part_n for_o it_o be_v not_o the_o several_a part_n that_o make_v motion_n but_o motion_n make_v they_o and_o yet_o motion_n be_v not_o the_o cause_n of_o matter_n but_o matter_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o motion_n for_o matter_n may_v subsist_v without_o motion_n but_o not_o motion_n without_o matter_n only_o there_o can_v be_v no_o perception_n without_o motion_n nor_o no_o variety_n if_o matter_n be_v not_o self-moving_a but_o matter_n if_o it_o be_v all_o inanimate_a and_o void_a of_o motion_n will_v lie_v as_o a_o dull_a dead_a and_o senseless_a heap_n but_o that_o all_o motion_n come_v by_o join_v or_o press_v of_o other_o part_n i_o deny_v for_o if_o sensitive_a and_o rational_a perception_n which_o be_v sensitive_a and_o rational_a motion_n in_o the_o body_n and_o in_o the_o mind_n be_v make_v by_o the_o pressure_n of_o outward_a object_n press_v the_o sensitive_a organ_n and_o so_o the_o brain_n or_o interior_a part_n of_o the_o body_n they_o will_v cause_v such_o dent_n and_o hole_n therein_o as_o to_o make_v they_o sore_o and_o patch_v in_o a_o short_a time_n beside_o what_o be_v represent_v in_o this_o manner_n will_v always_o remain_v or_o at_o least_o not_o so_o soon_o be_v dissolve_v and_o then_o those_o pressure_n will_v make_v a_o strange_a and_o horrid_a confusion_n of_o figure_n for_o not_o any_o figure_n will_v be_v distinct_a wherefore_o my_o opinion_n be_v that_o the_o sensitive_a and_o rational_a matter_n do_v make_v or_o pattern_n out_o the_o figure_n of_o several_a object_n and_o do_v dissolve_v they_o in_o a_o moment_n of_o time_n as_o for_o example_n when_o the_o eye_n see_v the_o object_n first_o of_o a_o man_n then_o of_o a_o horse_n then_o of_o another_o creature_n the_o sensitive_a motion_n in_o the_o eye_n move_v first_o into_o the_o figure_n of_o the_o man_n then_o straight_o into_o the_o figure_n of_o the_o horse_n so_o that_o the_o man_n figure_n be_v dissolve_v and_o alter_v into_o the_o figure_n of_o the_o horse_n and_o so_o forth_o but_o if_o the_o eye_n see_v many_o figure_n at_o once_o then_o so_o many_o several_a figure_n be_v make_v by_o the_o sensitive_a corporeal_a motion_n and_o as_o many_o by_o the_o rational_a motion_n which_o be_v sight_n and_o memory_n at_o once_o but_o in_o sleep_n both_o the_o sensitive_a and_o rational_a motion_n make_v
as_o to_o be_v before_o for_o if_o we_o will_v do_v this_o we_o must_v not_o allow_v that_o the_o eternal_a son_n of_o god_n be_v coeternal_a with_o the_o father_n because_o nature_n require_v a_o father_n to_o exist_v before_o the_o son_n but_o in_o god_n be_v no_o time_n but_o all_o eternity_n and_o if_o you_o allow_v that_o god_n have_v make_v some_o creature_n as_o supernatural_a spirit_n to_o live_v eternal_o why_o shall_v he_o not_o as_o well_o have_v make_v a_o creature_n from_o all_o eternity_n for_o god_n make_v be_v not_o our_o make_n he_o need_v no_o priority_n of_o time_n but_o you_o may_v say_v the_o comparison_n of_o the_o eternal_a generation_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n be_v mystical_a and_o divine_a and_o not_o to_o be_v apply_v to_o natural_a thing_n i_o answer_v the_o action_n by_o which_o god_n create_v the_o world_n or_o make_v nature_n be_v it_o natural_a of_o supernatural_a sure_o you_o will_v say_v it_o be_v a_o supernatural_a and_o godlike_a action_n why_o then_o will_v you_o apply_v natural_a rule_n to_o a_o godlike_a and_o supernatural_a action_n for_o what_o man_n know_v how_o and_o when_o god_n create_v nature_n you_o will_v say_v the_o scripture_n do_v teach_v we_o that_o for_o it_o be_v not_o six_o thousand_o year_n when_o god_n create_v this_o world_n i_o answer_v the_o holy_a scripture_n inform_v we_o only_o of_o the_o creation_n of_o this_o visible_a world_n but_o not_o of_o nature_n and_o natural_a matter_n for_o i_o firm_o believe_v according_a to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n that_o this_o world_n have_v be_v create_v as_o be_v describe_v by_o moses_n but_o what_o be_v that_o to_o natural_a matter_n there_o may_v have_v be_v world_n before_o as_o many_o be_v of_o the_o opinion_n that_o there_o have_v be_v man_n before_o adam_n and_o many_o among_o divine_n do_v believe_v that_o after_o the_o destruction_n of_o this_o world_n god_n will_v create_v a_o new_a world_n again_o as_o a_o new_a heaven_n and_o a_o new_a earth_n and_o if_o this_o be_v probable_a or_o at_o least_o may_v be_v believe_v without_o any_o prejudice_n to_o the_o holy_a scripture_n why_o may_v it_o not_o be_v probable_o believe_v that_o there_o have_v be_v other_o world_n before_o this_o visible_a world_n for_o nothing_o be_v impossible_a with_o god_n and_o all_o this_o do_v derogate_v nothing_o from_o the_o honour_n and_o glory_n of_o god_n but_o rather_o increase_v his_o divine_a power_n but_o as_o for_o the_o creation_n of_o this_o present_a world_n it_o be_v relate_v that_o there_o be_v first_o a_o rude_a and_o indigested_a heap_n or_o chaos_n without_o form_n void_a and_o dark_a and_o god_n say_v let_v it_o be_v light_a let_v there_o be_v a_o firmament_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o the_o water_n and_o let_v the_o water_n under_o the_o heaven_n be_v gather_v together_o and_o let_v the_o dry_a land_n appear_v let_v the_o earth_n bring_v forth_o grass_n the_o herb_n yield_v seed_n and_o the_o fruit-tree_n yield_v fruit_n after_o its_o own_o kind_n and_o let_v there_o be_v light_n in_o the_o firmament_n the_o one_o to_o rule_v the_o day_n and_o the_o other_o the_o night_n and_o let_v the_o water_n bring_v forth_o abundant_o the_o move_a creature_n that_o have_v life_n and_o let_v the_o earth_n bring_v forth_o live_v creature_n after_o its_o kind_n and_o at_o last_o god_n say_v let_v we_o make_v man_n and_o all_o what_o be_v make_v god_n see_v it_o be_v good_a thus_o all_o be_v make_v by_o god_n command_n and_o who_o execute_v his_o command_n but_o the_o material_a servant_n of_o god_n nature_n which_o order_v her_o self-moving_a matter_n into_o such_o several_a figure_n as_o god_n command_v and_o god_n approve_v of_o they_o and_o thus_o madam_n i_o very_o believe_v the_o creation_n of_o the_o world_n and_o that_o god_n be_v the_o sole_a and_o omnipotent_a creator_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n and_o of_o all_o creature_n therein_o nay_o although_o i_o believe_v nature_n to_o have_v be_v from_o eternity_n yet_o i_o believe_v also_o that_o god_n be_v the_o god_n and_o author_n of_o nature_n and_o have_v make_v nature_n and_o natural_a matter_n in_o a_o way_n and_o manner_n proper_a to_o his_o omnipotency_n and_o incomprehensible_a by_o we_o i_o will_v pass_v by_o natural_a argument_n and_o proof_n as_o not_o belong_v to_o such_o a_o omnipotent_a action_n as_o for_o example_n how_o the_o nature_n of_o relative_a term_n require_v that_o they_o must_v both_o exist_v at_o one_o point_n of_o time_n viz._n a_o master_n and_o his_o servant_n and_o a_o king_n and_o his_o subject_n for_o one_o bear_v relation_n to_o the_o other_o can_v in_o no_o way_n be_v consider_v as_o different_a from_o one_o another_o in_o formiliness_n or_o laterness_n of_o time_n but_o as_o i_o say_v these_o be_v mere_o natural_a thing_n i_o will_v nor_o can_v apply_v they_o to_o supernatural_a and_o divine_a action_n but_o if_o you_o ask_v i_o how_o it_o be_v possible_a that_o nature_n the_o effect_n and_o creature_n of_o god_n can_v be_v eternal_a without_o beginning_n i_o will_v desire_v you_o to_o answer_v i_o first_o how_o a_o creature_n can_v be_v eternal_a without_o end_n as_o for_o example_n supernatural_a spirit_n be_v and_o then_o i_o will_v answer_v you_o how_o a_o creature_n can_v be_v eternal_a without_o beginning_n for_o eternity_n consist_v herein_o that_o it_o have_v neither_o beginning_n nor_o end_n and_o if_o it_o be_v easy_a for_o god_n to_o make_v a_o be_v without_o end_n it_o be_v not_o difficult_a for_o he_o to_o make_v a_o be_v without_o beginning_n one_o thing_n more_o i_o will_v add_v which_o be_v that_o if_o nature_n have_v not_o be_v make_v by_o god_n from_o all_o eternity_n than_o the_o title_n of_o god_n as_o be_v a_o creator_n which_o be_v a_o title_n and_o action_n upon_o which_o our_o faith_n be_v ground_v for_o it_o be_v the_o first_o article_n in_o our_o creed_n have_v be_v accessary_a to_o god_n as_o i_o say_v not_o full_a six_o thousand_o year_n ago_o but_o there_o be_v not_o anything_o accessary_n to_o god_n he_o be_v the_o perfection_n himself_o but_o madam_n all_o what_o i_o speak_v be_v under_o the_o liberty_n of_o

philosopher_n hobbs_n call_v leviathan_n wherein_o i_o find_v he_o say_v 1._o that_o the_o cause_n of_o sense_n or_o sensitive_a perception_n be_v the_o external_a body_n or_o object_n which_o press_v the_o organ_n proper_a to_o each_o sense_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v according_a to_o the_o ground_n of_o my_o own_o philosophical_a opinion_n that_o all_o thing_n and_o therefore_o outward_a object_n as_o well_o as_o sensitive_a organ_n have_v both_o sense_n and_o reason_n yet_o neither_o the_o object_n nor_o the_o organ_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o they_o for_o perception_n be_v but_o the_o effect_n of_o the_o sensitive_a and_o rational_a motion_n and_o not_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o perception_n neither_o do_v the_o pressure_n of_o part_n upon_o part_n make_v perception_n for_o although_o matter_n by_o the_o power_n of_o self-motion_n be_v as_o much_o composeable_a as_o divideable_a and_o part_n do_v join_v to_o part_n yet_o that_o do_v not_o make_v perception_n nay_o the_o several_a part_n betwixt_o which_o the_o perception_n be_v make_v may_v be_v at_o such_o a_o distance_n as_o not_o capable_a to_o press_v as_o for_o example_n two_o man_n may_v see_v or_o hear_v each_o other_o at_o a_o distance_n and_o yet_o there_o may_v be_v other_o body_n between_o they_o
the_o figure_n without_o pattern_n that_o be_v exterior_a object_n which_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o they_o be_v often_o erroneous_a whereas_o if_o it_o be_v the_o former_a impression_n of_o the_o object_n there_o can_v not_o possible_o be_v imperfect_a dream_n or_o remembrance_n for_o fade_v of_o figure_n require_v as_o much_o motion_n as_o impression_n and_o impression_n and_o fade_a be_v

of_o love_a embrace_n and_o kiss_v each_o other_o neither_o be_v the_o action_n one_o and_o the_o same_o when_o a_o man_n strike_v himself_o and_o when_o he_o strike_v another_o and_o so_o be_v

such_o a_o motion_n i_o grant_v it_o but_o the_o cease_n of_o such_o a_o motion_n be_v not_o the_o cease_n of_o self-moving_a matter_n from_o all_o motion_n neither_o be_v cessation_n as_o much_o as_o

or_o more_o motion_n may_v overpower_v the_o less_o wherefore_o force_v or_o artificial_a and_o free_a natural_a motion_n be_v different_a in_o their_o effect_n although_o they_o have_v but_o one_o cause_n which_o be_v the_o self-moving_a matter_n and_o though_o matter_n be_v but_o active_a and_o passive_a yet_o there_o be_v great_a variety_n and_o so_o great_a difference_n in_o force_n and_o liberty_n object_n and_o perception_n sense_n and_o reason_n and_o the_o like_a but_o to_o conclude_v perception_n be_v not_o make_v by_o the_o pressure_n of_o object_n no_o more_o than_o hemp_n be_v

neither_o can_v the_o cease_n of_o particular_a force_v or_o artificial_a motion_n be_v a_o proof_n for_o the_o cease_n of_o general_a natural_a free_a motion_n as_o that_o matter_n itself_o shall_v

cause_v variety_n as_o well_o in_o opinion_n as_o in_o every_o thing_n else_o wherefore_o in_o my_o opinion_n though_o sense_n alter_v yet_o it_o do_v not_o decay_n for_o the_o rational_a and_o

for_o he_o say_v imagination_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o fade_a or_o decay_a sense_n whereas_o in_o my_o opinion_n they_o be_v different_a not_o only_o their_o matter_n but_o their_o motion_n also_o be_v distinct_a and_o different_a for_o imagination_n be_v a_o rational_a perception_n and_o sense_n a_o sensitive_a perception_n wherefore_o as_o much_o as_o the_o rational_a matter_n differ_v from_o the_o sensitive_a as_o much_o do_v imagination_n differ_v from_o sense_n next_o i_o say_v that_o impression_n do_v not_o remain_v in_o the_o body_n of_o sensitive_a matter_n but_o it_o be_v

yet_o all_o sensitive_a and_o rational_a motion_n be_v not_o one_o and_o the_o same_o for_o force_a or_o artificial_a
motion_n though_o they_o proceed_v from_o sensitive_a matter_n yet_o be_v they_o so_o different_a from_o the_o free_a and_o prime_n natural_a motion_n that_o they_o seem_v as_o it_o be_v quite_o of_o

those_o imagination_n proceed_v only_o from_o the_o agitation_n of_o the_o inward_a part_n of_o man_n body_n which_o for_o the_o connexion_n they_o have_v with_o the_o brain_n and_o other_o organ_n

not_o very_o probable_a for_o first_o dream_n be_v not_o absolute_o imagination_n except_o we_o do_v call_v all_o motion_n and_o action_n of_o the_o sensitive_a and_o rational_a matter_n imagination_n

the_o difference_n be_v that_o the_o sensitive_a motion_n in_o dream_n work_v by_o rote_n and_o on_o the_o inside_n of_o the_o sensitive_a organ_n when_o as_o awake_v they_o work_v according_a to_o the_o pattern_n of_o outward_a object_n and_o exterious_o or_o on_o the_o outside_n of_o the_o sensitive_a organ_n so_o that_o sleep_n or_o dream_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o alteration_n of_o motion_n from_o move_v exterious_o to_o move_v interious_o and_o from_o work_v after_o a_o pattern_n to_o work_v by_o rote_n i_o do_v not_o say_v that_o the_o body_n be_v without_o all_o exterior_a motion_n when_o asleep_a as_o breathe_v and_o beat_v of_o the_o pulse_n although_o these_o motion_n be_v rather_o interior_a then_o exterior_a but_o that_o only_o the_o sensitive_a organ_n be_v outward_o shut_v so_o as_o not_o to_o receive_v the_o pattern_n of_o outward_a object_n nevertheless_o the_o sensitive_a motion_n do_v not_o cease_v from_o move_v inward_o or_o on_o the_o inside_n of_o the_o sensitive_a organ_n but_o the_o rational_a matter_n do_v often_o as_o awake_v so_o asleep_a or_o in_o dream_n make_v such_o figure_n as_o the_o sensitive_a do_v never_o make_v either_o

to_o death_n beside_o the_o organ_n will_v take_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o hurt_n nay_o total_o be_v remove_v out_o of_o their_o place_n so_o as_o the_o eye_n will_v in_o time_n be_v press_v into_o

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

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 perception_n and_o variety_n of_o motion_n be_v the_o most_o subtle_a part_n of_o nature_n as_o self-moving_a as_o also_o divideable_a and_o composeable_a and_o alterable_a in_o their_o figurative_a motion_n for_o this_o perceptive_a matter_n can_v change_v its_o substance_n into_o any_o figure_n whatsoever_o in_o nature_n as_o be_v not_o bind_v to_o one_o constant_a figure_n but_o have_v treat_v

xix_o madam_n to_o discourse_n of_o the_o world_n and_o star_n be_v more_o than_o i_o be_o able_a to_o do_v want_v the_o art_n of_o astronomy_n and_o geometry_n wherefore_o pass_v by_o that_o

not_o the_o light_n of_o the_o sun_n that_o make_v a_o animal_n see_v for_o we_o can_v see_v inward_o in_o dream_n without_o the_o sun_n light_n but_o it_o be_v the_o sensitive_a and_o rational_a motion_n in_o the_o eye_n and_o brain_n that_o make_v such_o a_o figure_n as_o light_n for_o if_o light_n do_v press_v upon_o the_o eye_n according_a to_o your_o author_n opinion_n it_o may_v put_v the_o eye_n into_o as_o much_o pain_n as_o fire_n do_v when_o it_o stick_v its_o point_n into_o our_o skin_n or_o flesh_n the_o same_o may_v be_v say_v of_o colour_n for_o the_o sensitive_a motion_n make_v such_o a_o figure_n which_o be_v such_o a_o colour_n and_o such_o a_o figure_n which_o be_v such_o a_o colour_n wherefore_o light_n heat_v and_o colour_n
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 motion_n act_v work_n or_o move_v so_o be_v the_o nature_n of_o every_o figure_n wherefore_o no_o body_n i_o hope_v will_v count_v i_o so_o senseless_a that_o i_o believe_v sense_n and_o life_n to_o be_v after_o the_o like_a manner_n in_o every_o particular_a creature_n or_o part_n of_o nature_n as_o for_o example_n that_o a_o stone_n or_o tree_n have_v animal_n motion_n and_o do_v see_v touch_n taste_n smell_v and_o hear_v by_o such_o sensitive_a organ_n as_o a_o animal_n do_v but_o my_o opinion_n be_v that_o all_o sense_n be_v not_o bind_v up_o to_o the_o sensitive_a organ_n of_o a_o animal_n nor_o reason_n to_o the_o kernel_n of_o a_o man_n brain_n or_o the_o orifice_n of_o the_o stomach_n or_o the_o four_o ventricle_n of_o the_o brain_n or_o only_o to_o a_o man_n body_n for_o 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 various_a local_a motion_n nevertheless_o we_o can_v in_o reason_n say_v they_o be_v void_a and_o destitute_a of_o all_o motion_n for_o what_o man_n know_v the_o variety_n of_o motion_n in_o nature_n 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 know_v the_o reason_n why_o not_o for_o i_o be_o confident_a that_o no_o man_n can_v in_o truth_n affirm_v the_o contrary_a what_o be_v life_n but_o sensitive_a motion_n what_o be_v reason_n but_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

in_o one_o particular_a natural_a action_n what_o variety_n will_v there_o not_o be_v in_o all_o nature_n wherefore_o it_o be_v not_o as_o i_o mention_v in_o the_o beginning_n either_o ferment_n or_o

your_o desire_n be_v to_o know_v since_o i_o say_v nature_n be_v wise_a whether_o all_o her_o part_n must_v be_v wise_a also_o to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o by_o your_o favour_n all_o her_o part_n be_v not_o fool_n but_o yet_o it_o be_v no_o necessary_a consequence_n that_o because_o nature_n be_v infinite_o wise_a all_o her_o part_n must_v be_v so_o too_o no_o more_o than_o if_o i_o shall_v say_v nature_n be_v infinite_a therefore_o every_o part_n must_v be_v infinite_a but_o it_o be_v rather_o necessary_a that_o because_o nature_n be_v infinite_a therefore_o not_o any_o single_a part_n of_o she_o can_v be_v infinite_a but_o must_v be_v finite_a next_o you_o desire_v to_o know_v whether_o nature_n or_o the_o self-moving_a matter_n be_v subject_a to_o err_v and_o to_o commit_v mistake_n i_o answer_v although_o nature_n have_v natural_o a_o infinite_a wisdom_n and_o knowledge_n yet_o she_o have_v not_o a_o most_o pure_a and_o entire_a perfection_n no_o more_o than_o she_o have_v a_o absolute_a power_n for_o a_o most_o pure_a and_o entire_a perfection_n belong_v only_o to_o god_n and_o though_o she_o be_v infinite_o natural_o wise_a in_o herself_o yet_o her_o part_n or_o particular_a creature_n may_v commit_v error_n and_o mistake_n the_o truth_n be_v it_o be_v impossible_a but_o that_o part_n or_o particular_a creature_n must_v be_v subject_a to_o error_n because_o no_o part_n can_v have_v a_o perfect_a or_o general_a knowledge_n as_o be_v but_o a_o part_n and_o not_o a_o whole_a for_o knowledge_n be_v in_o part_n as_o part_n be_v in_o matter_n beside_o several_a corporeal_a motion_n that_o be_v several_a self-moving_a part_n do_v delude_v and_o oppose_v each_o other_o by_o their_o opposite_a motion_n and_o this_o opposition_n be_v very_o requisite_a in_o nature_n to_o keep_v a_o mean_a and_o hinder_v extreme_n for_o be_v there_o not_o opposition_n of_o part_n nature_n will_v run_v into_o extreme_n which_o will_v confound_v she_o and_o all_o her_o part_n and_o as_o for_o delusion_n it_o be_v part_n of_o nature_n delight_n cause_v the_o more_o variety_n but_o there_o be_v some_o action_n in_o nature_n which_o be_v neither_o perfect_a mistake_n nor_o delusion_n but_o only_o want_v of_o a_o clear_a and_o thorough_a perception_n as_o for_o example_n when_o a_o man_n be_v sail_v in_o a_o ship_n he_o think_v the_o shore_n move_v from_o the_o ship_n when_o as_o it_o be_v the_o ship_n that_o move_v from_o the_o shore_n also_o when_o a_o man_n be_v go_v backward_o from_o a_o looking-glass_n he_o think_v the_o figure_n in_o the_o glass_n go_v inward_a whereas_o it_o be_v himself_o that_o go_v backward_o and_o not_o his_o figure_n in_o the_o glass_n the_o cause_n of_o it_o be_v that_o the_o perception_n in_o the_o eye_n perceive_v the_o distanced_a body_n but_o not_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o distance_n or_o medium_n for_o though_o the_o man_n may_v partly_o see_v the_o motion_n of_o the_o visible_a part_n yet_o he_o do_v not_o see_v the_o part_n or_o motion_n of_o the_o distance_n or_o medium_n which_o be_v invisible_a and_o not_o subject_a to_o the_o perception_n of_o sight_n and_o since_o a_o pattern_n can_v be_v make_v if_o the_o object_n be_v not_o visible_a hence_o i_o conclude_v that_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o medium_n can_v make_v perception_n but_o that_o it_o be_v the_o perceptive_a motion_n of_o the_o eye_n which_o pattern_n out_o a_o object_n as_o it_o be_v visible_o present_v to_o the_o corporeal_a motion_n in_o the_o eye_n for_o according_a as_o the_o object_n be_v present_v the_o pattern_n be_v make_v if_o the_o motion_n be_v regular_a for_o example_n a_o fire_a end_n of_o a_o stick_n if_o you_o move_v it_o in_o a_o circular_a figure_n the_o sensitive_a corporeal_a motion_n in_o the_o eye_n pattern_n out_o the_o figure_n of_o fire_n together_o with_o the_o exterior_a or_o circular_a motion_n and_o apprehend_v it_o as_o a_o fiery_a circle_n and_o if_o the_o stick_n be_v move_v any_o otherwise_o they_o pattern_v out_o such_o a_o figure_n as_o the_o fire_a end_n of_o the_o stick_n be_v move_v in_o so_o that_o the_o sensitive_a pattern_n be_v make_v according_a to_o the_o exterior_a corporeal_a figurative_a motion_n of_o the_o object_n and_o not_o according_a to_o its_o interior_a figure_n or_o motion_n and_o this_o madam_n be_v in_o short_a my_o answer_n to_o

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

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

cause_n do_v help_n and_o assist_v they_o in_o that_o work_n of_o metamorphose_v or_o transform_v of_o colour_n but_o if_o the_o line_n of_o light_n be_v only_o as_o the_o phrase_n be_v skindeep_a that_o be_v but_o light_o spread_v and_o not_o deep_o penetrate_v they_o may_v soon_o wear_v out_o or_o be_v rub_v of_o for_o though_o they_o hurt_v yet_o they_o do_v not_o kill_v the_o natural_a

antipathetical_a foe_n and_o all_o such_o quarrel_n proceed_v from_o a_o sympathy_n to_o their_o own_o interest_n but_o you_o may_v ask_v i_o what_o the_o reason_n be_v that_o some_o creature_n as_o for_o example_n mankind_n some_o of_o they_o will_v not_o only_o like_o one_o sort_n of_o meat_n better_o than_o another_o of_o equal_a goodness_n and_o nourishment_n but_o will_v like_v and_o

a_o particular_a and_o most_o common_o a_o inconstant_a appetite_n for_o after_o much_o eat_n of_o that_o they_o like_v best_a especial_o if_o they_o get_v a_o surfeit_n their_o appetite_n be_v

they_o again_o you_o may_v ask_v i_o the_o reason_n why_o a_o man_n see_v two_o person_n together_o which_o be_v stranger_n to_o he_o do_v affect_v one_o better_a than_o the_o other_o nay_o if_o one_o of_o these_o person_n be_v deform_v or_o ill-favoured_a and_o the_o other_o well-shaped_a and_o handsome_a yet_o it_o may_v chance_v that_o the_o deform_a person_n shall_v be_v more_o acceptable_a in_o the_o affection_n and_o eye_n of_o the_o beholder_n than_o he_o that_o be_v handsome_a i_o answer_v there_o be_v no_o creature_n so_o deform_v but_o have_v some_o agreeable_a and_o attractive_a

which_o be_v in_o the_o loadstone_n towards_o iron_n and_o in_o the_o needle_n towards_o the_o north_n i_o answer_v yes_o for_o it_o be_v either_o for_o nourishment_n or_o refreshment_n or_o love_n and_o desire_v of_o association_n or_o the_o like_a that_o the_o loadstone_n draw_v iron_n and_o the_o needle_n turn_v towards_o the_o north._n the_o difference_n only_o betwixt_o the_o sympathy_n in_o the_o needle_n towards_o the_o north_n and_o betwixt_o the_o sympathy_n in_o the_o loadstone_n towards_o the_o iron_n be_v that_o the_o needle_n do_v always_o turn_v towards_o the_o north_n but_o the_o loadstone_n do_v not_o always_o draw_v iron_n the_o reason_n be_v because_o the_o sympathy_n of_o the_o needle_n towards_o the_o north_n require_v no_o certain_a distance_n as_o i_o say_v in_o the_o beginning_n and_o the_o north-pole_n continue_v constant_o in_o the_o same_o place_n the_o needle_n know_v whither_o to_o turn_v when_o as_o the_o sympathy_n between_o the_o loadstone_n and_o iron_n require_v a_o certain_a distance_n and_o when_o the_o loadstone_n be_v not_o within_o this_o compass_n or_o distance_n it_o can_v perform_v its_o effect_n to_o wit_n to_o draw_v the_o iron_n but_o the_o effect_n cease_v although_o the_o cause_n remain_v in_o vigour_n the_o same_o may_v be_v say_v of_o the_o flower_n that_o turn_v towards_o the_o sun_n for_o though_o the_o sun_n be_v out_o of_o sight_n yet_o the_o flower_n watch_v for_o the_o return_n of_o the_o sun_n from_o which_o it_o receive_v benefit_n like_a as_o faithful_a servant_n watch_v and_o wait_v for_o their_o master_n

eager_a appetite_n than_o food_n make_v long_a flight_n into_o far_o distant_a country_n to_o seek_v food_n to_o live_v on_o but_o sure_o i_o think_v if_o they_o have_v food_n enough_o at_o home_n although_o not_o dead_a carcase_n they_o will_v not_o make_v such_o great_a journey_n or_o if_o a_o battle_n be_v fight_v and_o many_o slay_v and_o they_o upon_o their_o journey_n shall_v meet_v with_o sufficient_a food_n they_o will_v hardly_o travel_v further_o before_o they_o have_v devour_v that_o food_n first_o but_o many_o bird_n travel_v for_o the_o temper_n of_o the_o air_n as_o

disease_n as_o be_v produce_v by_o conceit_n and_o at_o distance_n the_o cause_n be_v the_o fearfulness_n of_o the_o patient_n which_o produce_v irregularity_n in_o the_o mind_n and_o these_o occasion_n irregularity_n in_o the_o body_n which_o produce_v such_o a_o disease_n as_o the_o mind_n do_v fearful_o apprehend_v when_o as_o without_o that_o passion_n and_o irregularity_n the_o patient_n will_v perhaps_o not_o fall_v sick_a of_o that_o disease_n but_o to_o draw_v towards_o a_o end_n i_o will_v answer_v brief_o to_o your_o author_n allege_a example_n power_n which_o he_o give_v of_o wine_n that_o it_o be_v trouble_v while_o the_o vine_n flower_v the_o reason_n in_o my_o opinion_n may_v perhaps_o be_v that_o the_o wine_n be_v the_o effect_n of_o the_o vine_n and_o proceed_v from_o its_o stock_n as_o the_o producer_n have_v not_o so_o quite_o alter_v nature_n as_o not_o to_o be_v sensible_a at_o all_o of_o the_o alteration_n of_o the_o vine_n for_o many_o effect_n do_v retain_v the_o propriety_n of_o their_o cause_n for_o example_n many_o child_n be_v generate_v which_o have_v the_o same_o propriety_n of_o their_o parent_n who_o do_v often_o propagate_v some_o or_o other_o virtuous_a or_o vicious_a quality_n with_o their_o offspring_n and_o this_o be_v rather_o a_o proof_n that_o there_o be_v sensitive_a and_o rational_a motion_n and_o sensitive_a and_o rational_a knowledge_n in_o all_o creature_n and_o so_o in_o wine_n according_a to_o the_o nature_n or_o propriety_n of_o its_o figure_n for_o without_o motion_n sense_n and_o reason_n no_o effect_n can_v be_v nor_o no_o sympathy_n or_o antipathy_n but_o it_o be_v to_o be_v observe_v that_o many_o do_v mistake_v the_o true_a cause_n and_o ascribe_v a_o effect_n to_o some_o cause_n which_o be_v no_o more_o the_o cause_n of_o that_o same_o effect_n than_o a_o particular_a creature_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o nature_n and_o so_o they_o be_v apt_a to_o take_v the_o fiddle_n for_o the_o hot_a brick_n as_o if_o the_o fiddle_n do_v make_v the_o ass_n dance_v when_o as_o it_o be_v the_o hot_a brick_n that_o do_v it_o for_o several_a effect_n may_v proceed_v from_o one_o cause_n and_o one_o effect_n from_o several_a cause_n and_o so_o in_o the_o aforesaid_a example_n the_o wine_n may_v perhaps_o be_v disturb_v by_o the_o alteration_n of_o the_o weather_n at_o the_o same_o time_n of_o the_o flower_a of_o the_o vine_n and_o so_o may_v animal_n as_o well_o as_o vegetable_n and_o other_o creature_n alter_v alike_o at_o one_o and_o the_o same_o point_n of_o time_n and_o yet_o none_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o each_o other_o alteration_n and_o thus_o to_o shut_v up_o my_o discourse_n i_o repeat_v again_o that_o sympathy_n and_o antipathy_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o ordinary_a passion_n and_o appetite_n among_o several_a creature_n which_o passion_n be_v make_v by_o the_o rational_a animate_v matter_n and_o the_o appetite_n by_o the_o sensitive_a both_o give_v such_o or_o such_o motion_n to_o such_o or_o such_o creature_n for_o cross_a motion_n in_o appetite_n and_o passion_n make_v antipathy_n and_o agreeable_a motion_n in_o appetite_n and_o passion_n make_v sympathy_n although_o the_o creature_n be_v different_a wherein_o these_o motion_n passion_n and_o appetite_n be_v make_v and_o as_o without_o a_o object_n a_o pattern_n can_v be_v
