of_o the_o phaenomena_n and_o in_o like_a manner_n i_o shall_v suppose_v their_o motion_n namely_o their_o velocity_n and_o slowness_n and_o the_o variety_n of_o their_o figure_n to_o be_v only_o such_o as_o the_o explication_n of_o their_o natural_a cause_n require_v and_o last_o i_o suppose_v that_o the_o part_n of_o the_o pure_a aether_n as_o if_o it_o be_v the_o first_o matter_n have_v no_o motion_n at_o all_o but_o what_o they_o receive_v from_o body_n which_o float_v in_o they_o and_o be_v not_o themselves_o fluid_a 2_o have_v lay_v these_o ground_n let_v we_o come_v to_o speak_v of_o cause_n and_o in_o the_o first_o place_n let_v we_o inquire_v what_o may_v be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o light_n of_o the_o sun_n see_v therefore_o the_o body_n of_o the_o sun_n do_v by_o its_o simple_a circular_a motion_n thrust_v away_o the_o ambient_fw-la aethereal_a substance_n sometime_o one_o way_n sometime_o another_o so_o that_o those_o part_n which_o be_v next_o the_o sun_n be_v move_v by_o it_o do_v propagate_v that_o motion_n to_o the_o next_o remote_a part_n and_o these_o to_o the_o next_o and_o so_o on_o continual_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o notwithstanding_o any_o

of_o the_o organ_n of_o sight_n namely_o to_o the_o heart_n and_o from_o the_o reaction_n of_o the_o heart_n there_o will_v proceed_v a_o endeavour_n back_o by_o the_o same_o way_n end_v in_o the_o

cause_n of_o the_o light_n of_o the_o sun_n which_o i_o undertake_v to_o find_v 3_o the_o generation_n of_o the_o light_n of_o the_o sun_n be_v accompany_v with_o the_o generation_n of_o heat_n now_o every_o man_n know_v what_o heat_n be_v in_o himself_o by_o feel_v it_o when_o he_o grow_v hot_a but_o what_o it_o be_v in_o other_o thing_n he_o know_v only_o by_o ratiocination_n for_o it_o be_v one_o thing_n to_o grow_v hot_a and_o another_o thing_n to_o heat_n or_o make_v hot._n and_o therefore_o though_o we_o perceive_v that_o the_o fire_n or_o the_o sun_n heat_v yet_o we_o do_v not_o perceive_v that_o it_o be_v itself_o hot._n that_o other_o live_a creature_n while_o they_o make_v other_o thing_n hot_a be_v hot_a themselves_o we_o infer_v by_o reason_v from_o the_o like_a sense_n in_o ourselves_o but_o this_o be_v not_o a_o necessary_a inference_n for_o though_o it_o may_v true_o be_v say_v of_o live_a creature_n that_o they_o heat_v therefore_o they_o be_v themselves_o hot_a yet_o it_o can_v from_o hence_o be_v true_o infer_v that_o fire_n heat_v therefore_o it_o be_v itself_o hot_a no_o more_o than_o this_o fire_n cause_v pain_n therefore_o it_o be_v itself_o in_o pain_n wherefore_o that_o be_v only_o and_o proper_o call_v hot_a which_o when_o we_o feel_v we_o be_v necessary_o hot._n now_o when_o we_o grow_v hot_a we_o find_v that_o our_o spirit_n and_o blood_n and_o whatsoever_o be_v fluid_a within_o we_o be_v call_v out_o from_o the_o internal_a to_o the_o external_a part_n of_o our_o body_n more_o or_o less_o according_a to_o the_o degree_n of_o the_o heat_n and_o that_o our_o skin_n swell_v he_o therefore_o that_o can_v give_v a_o possible_a cause_n
not_o upon_o our_o thought_n we_o say_v be_v a_o thing_n subsist_v of_o itself_o as_o also_o exist_v because_o without_o we_o and_o last_o it_o be_v call_v the_o subject_a because_o it_o be_v so_o

this_o a_o body_n be_v that_o which_o have_v no_o dependence_n upon_o our_o thought_n be_v coincident_a or_o coextend_v with_o some_o part_n of_o space_n 2_o but_o what_o a_o accident_n be_v can_v so_o easy_o be_v explain_v by_o any_o definition_n as_o by_o example_n let_v we_o imagine_v therefore_o that_o a_o body_n fill_v any_o space_n or_o be_v coextend_v with_o it_o that_o coextention_n be_v not_o the_o coextended_a body_n and_o in_o like_a manner_n let_v we_o imagine_v that_o the_o same_o body_n be_v remove_v out_o of_o its_o place_n that_o remove_v be_v not_o the_o remove_a body_n or_o let_v we_o think_v the_o same_o not_o remove_v that_o notremove_v or_o rest_n be_v not_o the_o rest_a body_n what_o then_o be_v these_o thing_n they_o be_v accident_n of_o that_o body_n but_o the_o thing_n in_o question_n be_v what_o be_v a_o accident_n which_o be_v a_o enquiry_n after_o that_o which_o we_o know_v already_o and_o not_o that_o which_o we_o shall_v inquire_v after_o for_o

that_o a_o accident_n be_v something_o namely_o some_o part_n of_o a_o natural_a thing_n when_o indeed_o it_o be_v no_o part_n of_o the_o same_o to_o satisfy_v these_o man_n as_o well_o as_o may_v be_v they_o answer_v best_o that_o define_v a_o accident_n to_o be_v the_o manner_n by_o which_o any_o body_n be_v conceive_v which_o be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o they_o shall_v say_v a_o accident_n be_v that_o faculty_n of_o any_o body_n by_o which_o it_o work_v in_o we_o a_o conception_n of_o itself_o which_o definition_n though_o it_o be_v not_o a_o answer_n to_o the_o question_v propound_v yet_o it_o be_v a_o answer_n to_o that_o question_n which_o shall_v have_v be_v propound_v namely_o whence_o do_v it_o happen_v that_o one_o part_n of_o any_o body_n appear_v here_o another_o part_n there_o for_o this_o be_v well_o answer_v thus_o it_o happen_v from_o the_o extension_n of_o that_o body_n or_o how_o come_v it_o to_o pass_v that_o the_o whole_a body_n by_o succession_n be_v see_v now_o here_o now_o there_o and_o the_o answer_n will_v be_v by_o reason_n of_o its_o motion_n or_o last_o whence_o be_v it_o that_o any_o body_n possess_v the_o same_o space_n for_o sometime_o and_o the_o answer_n will_v be_v because_o it_o be_v not_o move_v for_o if_o concern_v the_o name_n of_o a_o body_n that_o be_v concern_v a_o concrete_a name_n it_o be_v ask_v what_o be_v it_o the_o answer_n must_v be_v make_v by_o definition_n for_o the_o question_n be_v concern_v the_o signification_n of_o the_o name_n but_o if_o it_o be_v ask_v concern_v a_o abstract_a name_n what_o be_v it_o the_o cause_o be_v demand_v why_o a_o thing_n appear_v so_o or_o so_o as_o if_o it_o be_v ask_v what_o be_v hard_a the_o answer_n will_v be_v hard_o be_v that_o whereof_o no_o part_n give_v place_n but_o when_o the_o whole_a give_v place_n but_o if_o it_o be_v demand_v what_o be_v hardness_n a_o cause_n must_v be_v show_v why_o a_o part_n do_v not_o give_v place_n except_o the_o whole_a give_v place_n wherefore_o i_o define_v a_o accident_n to_o be_v the_o ma●ner_n of_o our_o conception_n of_o body_n 3_o when_o a_o accident_n be_v say_v to_o be_v in_o a_o body_n it_o be_v not_o so_o to_o

that_o be_v as_o a_o part_n in_o the_o whole_a for_o so_o a_o accident_n will_v be_v a_o body_n also_o but_o as_o magnitude_n or_o rest_v or_o motion_n be_v in_o that_o which_o be_v great_a or_o

in_o its_o subject_a and_o this_o also_o be_v explicate_v by_o aristotle_n no_o otherwise_o then_o negative_o namely_o that_o a_o accident_n be_v in_o its_o subject_a not_o as_o any_o part_n thereof_o but_o so_o as_o that_o it_o may_v be_v away_o the_o subject_a still_o remain_v which_o be_v right_a save_v that_o there_o be_v certain_a accident_n which_o can_v never_o perish_v except_o the_o body_n perish_v also_o for_o no_o body_n can_v be_v conceive_v to_o be_v without_o extension_n or_o without_o figure_n all_o other_o accident_n which_o be_v not_o common_a to_o all_o body_n but_o peculiar_a
