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

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

be_v no_o other_o sensitive_a and_o rational_a knowledge_n in_o infinite_a matter_n but_o what_o be_v only_o in_o man_n or_o animal_n creature_n it_o be_v a_o very_a simple_a and_o weak_a conclusion_n to_o say_v other_o creature_n have_v no_o eye_n to_o see_v no_o ear_n to_o hear_v no_o tongue_n to_o taste_v no_o nose_n to_o smell_v as_o animal_n have_v wherefore_o they_o have_v no_o sense_n or_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

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

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

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

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

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

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

of_o natural_a philosophy_n which_o i_o put_v forth_o eleven_o year_n since_o where_o i_o say_v that_o self-moving_a matter_n be_v in_o a_o perpetual_a motion_n but_o your_o author_n endeavour_v

in_o comparison_n to_o those_o that_o be_v not_o subject_a to_o our_o exterior_a sense_n as_o for_o example_n we_o see_v some_o body_n dilate_v other_o consume_v other_o corrupt_v yet_o we_o do_v

yet_o we_o do_v not_o see_v their_o contract_n attract_v condense_v consist_v or_o retent_v motion_n and_o yet_o we_o can_v say_v they_o be_v not_o corporeal_a motion_n because_o not_o subject_a to_o

compose_v into_o one_o unite_a figure_n much_o less_o stay_v and_o continue_v in_o the_o same_o figure_n without_o a_o general_a alteration_n but_o your_o author_n say_v if_o matter_n as_o matter_n

judgement_n from_o god_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o impenitent_a man_n and_o not_o a_o natural_a effect_n that_o then_o those_o place_n where_o the_o earth_n be_v not_o so_o apt_a to_o tremble_v be_v the_o habitation_n of_o the_o bless_a and_o that_o they_o which_o inhabit_v those_o part_n that_o be_v apt_a to_o tremble_v be_v the_o accurse_a when_o as_o yet_o in_o those_o place_n where_o earthquake_n be_v not_o usual_a and_o frequent_a or_o none_o at_o all_o people_z be_v as_o wicked_a and_o impious_a if_o not_o more_o then_o in_o those_o where_o earthquake_n be_v common_a but_o the_o

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
