3._o the_o union_n and_o sympathy_n of_o soul_n and_o body_n may_v be_v easy_o demonstrate_v as_o also_o how_o the_o soul_n move_v the_o body_n from_o the_o aforesaid_a principle_n that_o spirit_n

intiment_fw-la band_n or_o union_n which_o intercede_v between_o body_n and_o spirit_n by_o mean_n whereof_o the_o spirit_n have_v dominion_n over_o the_o body_n with_o which_o they_o be_v unite_v that_o they_o move_v they_o from_o one_o place_n to_o another_o and_o use_v they_o as_o instrument_n in_o their_o various_a operation_n for_o if_o spirit_n and_o body_n be_v so_o contrary_a one_o to_o another_o so_o that_o a_o spirit_n be_v only_a life_n or_o a_o live_n and_o sensible_a substance_n but_o a_o body_n a_o certain_a mass_n mere_o dead_a a_o spirit_n penetrable_a and_o indiscerpible_a but_o a_o body_n impenetrable_a and_o discerpible_a which_o be_v all_o contrary_a attribute_n what_o i_o pray_v you_o be_v that_o which_o do_v so_o join_v or_o unite_v they_o together_o or_o what_o be_v those_o link_n or_o chain_n whereby_o they_o have_v so_o firm_a a_o connexion_n and_o that_o for_o so_o long_a a_o space_n of_o time_n moreover_o also_o when_o the_o spirit_n or_o soul_n be_v separate_v from_o the_o body_n so_o that_o it_o have_v no_o long_a dominion_n or_o power_n over_o it_o to_o move_v it_o as_o it_o have_v before_o what_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o this_o separation_n if_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o vital_a agreement_n the_o soul_n have_v to_o the_o body_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o say_a union_n and_o that_o the_o body_n be_v corrupt_v that_o vital_a agreement_n cease_v i_o answer_v we_o must_v first_o inquire_v in_o what_o this_o vital_a agreement_n do_v consist_v for_o if_o they_o can_v tell_v we_o wherein_o it_o do_v consist_v they_o only_o trisle_v with_o empty_a word_n which_o give_v a_o sound_n but_o want_v a_o signification_n for_o certain_o in_o that_o sense_n which_o they_o take_v body_n and_o spirit_n in_o there_o be_v no_o agreement_n at_o all_o between_o they_o for_o a_o body_n be_v always_o a_o dead_a thing_n void_a of_o life_n and_o sense_n no_o less_o when_o the_o spirit_n be_v in_o it_o than_o when_o it_o be_v go_v out_o of_o it_o hence_o there_o be_v no_o agreement_n at_o all_o between_o they_o and_o if_o there_o be_v any_o agreement_n that_o certain_o will_v remain_v the_o same_o both_o when_o the_o body_n be_v find_v and_o when_o it_o be_v corrupt_v if_o they_o deny_v this_o because_o a_o spirit_n require_v a_o organise_v body_n by_o mean_n whereof_o it_o perform_v its_o vital_a act_n of_o the_o external_a sense_n move_v and_o transport_v the_o body_n from_o place_n to_o place_n which_o organical_a action_n cease_v when_o the_o body_n be_v corrupt_v certain_o by_o this_o the_o difficulty_n be_v never_o the_o better_o solve_v for_o why_o do_v the_o spirit_n require_v such_o a_o organise_v body_n ex_fw-la gr_n why_o do_v it_o require_v a_o corporeal_a eye_n so_o wonderful_o form_v and_o organise_v that_o i_o can_v see_v by_o it_o why_o do_v it_o need_v a_o corporeal_a light_n to_o see_v corporeal_a object_n or_o why_o be_v it_o requisite_a that_o the_o image_n of_o the_o object_n shall_v be_v send_v to_o it_o through_o the_o eye_n that_o it_o may_v see_v it_o if_o the_o same_o be_v entire_o nothing_o but_o a_o spirit_n and_o no_o way_n corporeal_a why_o do_v it_o need_v so_o many_o several_a corporeal_a organ_n so_o far_o different_a from_o the_o nature_n of_o it_o furthermore_o how_o can_v a_o spirit_n move_v its_o body_n or_o any_o of_o its_o member_n if_o a_o spirit_n as_o they_o affirm_v be_v of_o such_o a_o nature_n that_o no_o part_n of_o its_o body_n can_v in_o the_o least_o resist_v it_o even_o as_o one_o body_n be_v wont_a to_o resist_v another_o when_o it_o be_v move_v by_o it_o by_o reason_n of_o its_o impenetrability_n for_o if_o a_o spirit_n can_v so_o easy_o penetrate_v all_o body_n wherefore_o do_v it_o not_o leave_v the_o body_n behind_o it_o when_o it_o be_v move_v from_o place_n to_o place_n see_v it_o can_v so_o easy_o pass_v out_o without_o the_o least_o resistance_n for_o certain_o this_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o all_o motion_n which_o we_o see_v in_o the_o world_n where_o one_o thing_n move_v another_o viz._n because_o both_o be_v impenetrable_a in_o the_o sense_n aforesaid_a for_o be_v it_o not_o for_o this_o impenetrability_n one_o creature_n can_v not_o move_v another_o because_o this_o will_v not_o oppose_v that_o nor_o at_o all_o resist_v it_o a_o example_n whereof_o we_o have_v in_o the_o sail_n of_o a_o ship_n by_o which_o the_o wind_n drive_v the_o ship_n and_o that_o so_o much_o the_o more_o vehement_o by_o how_o much_o the_o few_o hole_n vent_n and_o passage_n the_o same_o find_v in_o the_o sail_n against_o which_o it_o drive_v when_o on_o the_o contrary_a if_o instead_o of_o sail_n net_n be_v expanded_a through_o which_o the_o wind_n will_v have_v a_o free_a passage_n certain_o by_o these_o the_o ship_n will_v be_v but_o little_a move_v although_o it_o blow_v with_o great_a violence_n hence_o we_o see_v how_o this_o impenetrability_n cause_v resistance_n and_o this_o make_v motion_n but_o if_o there_o be_v no_o impenetrability_n as_o in_o the_o case_n of_o body_n and_o spirit_n than_o there_o can_v be_v no_o resistance_n and_o by_o consequence_n the_o spirit_n can_v make_v no_o motion_n in_o the_o body_n §_o 2._o and_o if_o it_o be_v object_v that_o god_n be_v altogether_o incorporeal_a and_o intrinsical_o present_a in_o all_o body_n and_o yet_o do_v move_v body_n whethersoever_o he_o please_v and_o be_v the_o first_o mover_n of_o all_o thing_n and_o yet_o nothing_o be_v impenetrable_a to_o he_o i_o answer_v this_o motion_n by_o which_o god_n move_v a_o body_n do_v wonderful_o differ_v from_o that_o manner_n by_o which_o the_o soul_n move_v the_o body_n for_o the_o will_n of_o god_n which_o give_v be_v to_o body_n give_v they_o motion_n also_o so_o that_o motion_n itself_o be_v of_o god_n by_o who_o will_n all_o motion_n happen_v for_o as_o a_o creature_n can_v give_v be_v to_o itself_o so_o neither_o can_v it_o move_v itself_o for_o in_o he_o we_o live_v move_v and_o have_v our_o be_v so_o that_o motion_n and_o essence_n come_v from_o the_o same_o cause_n sc_n god_n the_o creator_n who_o remain_v immovable_a in_o himself_o neither_o be_v he_o carry_v from_o place_n to_o place_n because_o he_o be_v equal_o present_v every_o where_o and_o give_v be_v to_o creature_n but_o the_o case_n be_v far_o different_a when_o the_o soul_n move_v the_o body_n for_o the_o soul_n be_v not_o the_o author_n of_o motion_n but_o only_o determine_v it_o to_o this_o or_o that_o particular_a thing_n and_o the_o soul_n itself_o be_v move_v together_o with_o the_o body_n from_o place_n to_o place_n and_o if_o the_o body_n be_v imprison_v or_o hold_v in_o chain_n it_o can_v free_v or_o deliver_v itself_o out_o of_o prison_n or_o out_o of_o chain_n wherefore_o it_o will_v be_v a_o very_a unfit_a comparison_n if_o one_o shall_v go_v about_o to_o illustrate_v that_o motion_n the_o soul_n make_v in_o the_o body_n by_o a_o example_n of_o god_n move_v his_o creature_n yea_o so_o great_a be_v the_o

shall_v find_v none_o at_o all_o for_o all_o his_o attribute_n be_v live_v yea_o life_n itself_o moreover_o see_v the_o creature_n of_o god_n so_o far_o as_o they_o be_v creature_n ought_v necessary_o in_o some_o thing_n to_o resemble_v their_o creator_n now_o i_o demand_v in_o what_o dead_a matter_n be_v like_a unto_o god_n if_o they_o say_v again_o in_o naked_a entity_n i_o answer_v there_o be_v none_o such_o in_o god_n or_o his_o creature_n and_o so_o it_o be_v a_o mere_a non_fw-la ens_fw-la or_o nothing_o but_o as_o touch_v the_o other_o attribute_n of_o matter_n viz._n impenetrability_n figurability_n and_o mobility_n certain_o none_o of_o these_o have_v any_o place_n in_o god_n and_o so_o be_v not_o of_o his_o communicable_a attribute_n but_o rather_o essential_a difference_n or_o attribute_n of_o diversity_n whereby_o the_o creature_n as_o such_o be_v distinguish_v from_o god_n as_o also_o mutability_n be_v of_o the_o number_n of_o those_o differential_a attribute_n whence_o it_o can_v be_v say_v that_o mutability_n be_v of_o the_o communicable_a attribute_n of_o god_n and_o in_o like_a manner_n impenetrability_n figurability_n and_o mobility_n do_v not_o pertain_v unto_o the_o communicable_a attribute_n of_o god_n but_o to_o those_o only_o in_o which_o the_o creature_n differ_v from_o he_o and_o see_v dead_a matter_n do_v not_o partake_v of_o any_o of_o the_o communicable_a attribute_n of_o god_n we_o must_v certain_o conclude_v that_o the_o same_o be_v a_o mere_a non_fw-la ens_fw-la or_o nothing_o a_o false_a fiction_n or_o chimaera_n and_o so_o a_o thing_n impossible_a if_o they_o say_v it_o have_v a_o metaphysical_a goodness_n and_o truth_n even_o as_o every_o be_v be_v good_a and_o true_a again_o i_o demand_v what_o be_v that_o goodness_n and_o truth_n for_o if_o it_o have_v no_o participation_n with_o any_o of_o the_o communicable_a attribute_n of_o god_n it_o will_v be_v neither_o good_a nor_o true_a and_o so_o a_o mere_a fiction_n as_o before_o be_v say_v moreover_o see_v it_o can_v be_v say_v wherein_o dead_a matter_n do_v any_o way_n partake_v of_o divine_a goodness_n much_o less_o can_v it_o be_v show_v how_o it_o may_v be_v capable_a always_o to_o acquire_v a_o great_a perfection_n ad_fw-la infinitum_fw-la which_o be_v the_o nature_n of_o all_o creature_n viz._n to_o increase_v and_o infinite_o advance_v towards_o a_o far_a perfection_n as_o be_v before_o demonstrate_v but_o what_o far_a progress_n in_o goodness_n or_o perfection_n have_v a_o dead_a matter_n because_o after_o it_o have_v suffer_v infinite_a change_n of_o motion_n and_o figure_n it_o be_v constrain_v always_o to_o remain_v dead_a as_o before_z and_o if_o motion_n and_o figure_n contribute_v nothing_o to_o the_o receive_n of_o life_n then_o certain_o this_o be_v make_v never_o the_o better_a nay_o be_v not_o in_o the_o least_o degree_n promote_v in_o goodness_n for_o suppose_v this_o dead_a matter_n have_v undergo_v all_o form_n and_o be_v transmute_v into_o all_o kind_n of_o figure_n even_o the_o most_o regular_a and_o exact_a what_o do_v this_o profit_n this_o matter_n or_o body_n because_o it_o want_v all_o life_n and_o sense_n so_o let_v we_o suppose_v the_o same_o to_o have_v undergo_v infinite_a kind_n of_o motion_n from_o slowness_n to_o swiftness_n wherein_o therefore_o be_v it_o better_o by_o the_o way_n of_o its_o intrinsecal_n melioration_n for_o the_o argument_n speak_v of_o intrinsecal_n melioration_n which_o be_v such_o a_o melioration_n as_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n itself_o require_v and_o which_o be_v perform_v thereby_o but_o a_o mere_a dead_a body_n or_o matter_n require_v no_o kind_n of_o motion_n or_o figure_n nor_o in_o itself_o be_v perfect_v more_o by_o one_o motion_n or_o figure_n than_o by_o another_o for_o it_o be_v alike_o indifferent_a to_o all_o motion_n and_o figure_n whatsoever_o and_o by_o consequence_n be_v not_o perfect_v or_o better_v by_o any_o of_o they_o and_o then_o what_o advantage_n will_v it_o have_v from_o all_o these_o help_n if_o it_o always_o remain_v a_o dead_a and_o impassable_a thing_n §_o 3._o my_o three_o reason_n be_v draw_v from_o the_o great_a love_n and_o desire_n that_o the_o spirit_n or_o soul_n have_v towards_o body_n and_o especial_o towards_o those_o with_o which_o they_o be_v unite_v and_o in_o which_o they_o have_v their_o habitation_n but_o now_o the_o foundation_n of_o all_o love_n or_o desire_n whereby_o one_o thing_n be_v carry_v unto_o another_o stand_v in_o this_o that_o either_o they_o be_v of_o the_o same_o nature_n and_o substance_n with_o they_o or_o like_v unto_o they_o or_o both_o or_o that_o one_o have_v its_o be_v from_o the_o other_o whereof_o we_o have_v a_o example_n in_o all_o live_a creature_n which_o bring_v forth_o their_o young_a and_o in_o like_a manner_n also_o in_o man_n how_o they_o love_v that_o which_o be_v bear_v of_o they_o for_o so_o also_o even_o wicked_a man_n and_o woman_n if_o they_o be_v notextreme_o perverse_a and_o void_a of_o parental_a love_n do_v love_n their_o child_n and_o cherish_v they_o with_o a_o natural_a affection_n the_o cause_n whereof_o certain_o be_v this_o that_o their_o child_n be_v of_o the_o same_o nature_n and_o substance_n viz._n as_o though_o they_o be_v part_n of_o they_o and_o if_o they_o be_v like_o they_o either_o in_o body_n spirit_n or_o manner_n hereby_o their_o love_n be_v the_o more_o increase_v so_o also_o we_o observe_v that_o animal_n of_o one_o species_n love_v one_o another_o more_o than_o those_o that_o be_v of_o a_o different_a species_n whence_o also_o cattle_n of_o one_o kind_a feed_v together_o bird_n of_o a_o kind_a flock_n together_o and_o fish_n of_o a_o kind_a swim_v together_o and_o so_o man_n rather_o converse_v with_o man_n than_o with_o any_o other_o creature_n but_o beside_o this_o particular_a love_n there_o remain_v yet_o something_o of_o universal_a love_n in_o all_o creature_n one_o towards_o another_o set_v aside_o that_o great_a confusion_n which_o have_v fall_v out_o since_o by_o reason_n of_o transgression_n which_o certain_o must_v proceed_v from_o the_o same_o foundation_n viz._n in_o regard_n of_o their_o first_o substance_n and_o essence_n they_o be_v all_o one_o and_o the_o same_o thing_n and_o as_o it_o be_v part_n and_o member_n of_o one_o body_n moreover_o in_o every_o species_n of_o animal_n we_o see_v how_o the_o male_a and_o female_a love_n one_o another_o and_o in_o all_o their_o propagation_n which_o be_v not_o monstrous_a and_o contrary_a to_o nature_n they_o respect_v each_o other_o and_o that_o proceed_v not_o only_o from_o the_o unity_n of_o nature_n but_o also_o by_o reason_n of_o a_o certain_a eminent_a similitude_n or_o likeness_n between_o they_o and_o both_o these_o foundation_n of_o love_n between_o a_o man_n and_o a_o woman_n be_v express_o mention_v in_o genesis_n but_o that_o which_o adam_n speak_v concern_v his_o wife_n this_o

therefore_o he_o love_v she_o moreover_o also_o concern_v similitude_n it_o be_v say_v there_o be_v no_o help_n find_v for_o he_o or_o before_o his_o face_n as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o hebrew_n i._n e._n among_o all_o creature_n he_o see_v not_o his_o like_a with_o who_o he_o will_v converse_v until_o eve_n be_v make_v for_o he_o but_o there_o be_v yet_o another_o cause_n of_o love_n when_o being_n that_o love_v each_o other_o be_v not_o one_o substance_n but_o one_o give_v be_v to_o the_o other_o and_o be_v the_o proper_a and_o real_a cause_n thereof_o and_o so_o it_o be_v in_o the_o case_n between_o god_n and_o creature_n for_o he_o give_v to_o all_o be_v life_n and_o motion_n and_o therefore_o he_o love_v all_o creature_n neither_o can_v he_o not_o love_v they_o yea_o at_o the_o

because_o he_o perceive_v they_o have_v need_n of_o they_o so_o on_o the_o contrary_a the_o creature_n which_o have_v not_o whole_o degenerate_v and_o lose_v all_o sense_n of_o god_n do_v love_v he_o and_o this_o be_v a_o certain_a divine_a law_n and_o instinct_n which_o he_o put_v in_o all_o rational_a creature_n that_o they_o may_v love_v he_o which_o be_v the_o fulfil_n of_o the_o whole_a law_n but_o those_o creature_n which_o draw_v most_o near_o unto_o god_n in_o similitude_n or_o likeness_n do_v love_v he_o the_o more_o and_o be_v the_o more_o love_v of_o he_o but_o if_o it_o be_v think_v
