no_o one_o have_v oppose_v a_o distinct_a treatise_n of_o these_o two_o faculty_n of_o the_o soul_n although_o they_o be_v natural_o inseparable_a in_o fine_a the_o sense_n and_o imagination_n do_v

be_v usual_a to_o do_v with_o the_o three_o first_o that_o we_o may_v be_v better_a able_a to_o discern_v what_o the_o soul_n receive_v from_o its_o author_n by_o mean_n of_o the_o body_n from_o that_o which_o it_o have_v from_o he_o independent_a of_o the_o body_n the_o only_a inconvenience_n that_o will_v natural_o result_v from_o the_o distinction_n of_o these_o two_o thing_n thus_o

by_o endeavour_v to_o avoid_v confusion_n i_o be_o oblige_v 10_o repetition_n but_o it_o be_v better_a to_o repeat_v than_o confound_v because_o my_o business_n be_v to_o write_v as_o clear_a as_o i_o

therefore_o the_o soul_n must_v necessary_o be_v agitate_a with_o some_o passion_n and_o this_o passion_n must_v rather_o be_v anger_n than_o love_n what_o relation_n can_v be_v conceive_v betwixt_o

those_o who_o think_v that_o body_n do_v necessary_o and_o of_o themselves_o communicate_v motion_n in_o the_o moment_n of_o their_o concourse_n think_v something_o like_o truth_n for_o indeed_o

cause_n be_v clear_a and_o distinct_a if_o we_o understand_v it_o as_o i_o have_v explain_v it_o in_o the_o precedent_a question_n but_o the_o term_n of_o the_o motion_n of_o our_o member_n be_v equivocal_a and_o confuse_a for_o there_o be_v many_o sort_n of_o these_o motion_n some_o of_o the_o will_n natural_a and_o convulsive_a one_o there_o be_v likewise_o different_a member_n in_o man_n body_n so_o that_o according_a to_o the_o first_o rule_n i_o must_v ask_v of_o which_o of_o these_o motion_n it_o be_v that_o they_o will_v know_v the_o cause_n but_o if_o the_o question_n be_v leave_v indeterminate_a so_o that_o i_o may_v make_v use_n of_o any_o i_o shall_v choose_v i_o will_v examine_v the_o question_n after_o this_o manner_n and_o first_o consider_v the_o property_n of_o these_o motion_n and_o because_o i_o immediate_o discover_v that_o voluntary_a motion_n be_v common_o more_o ready_o perform_v than_o the_o convulsive_a one_o i_o conclude_v from_o thence_o that_o their_o cause_n be_v different_a therefore_o i_o can_v and_o aught_o to_o examine_v the_o question_n by_o part_n for_o it_o will_v appear_v to_o be_v of_o too_o long_a a_o discussion_n i_o will_v oblige_v myself_o therefore_o first_o to_o consider_v voluntary_a motion_n and_o because_o we_o have_v many_o part_n which_o concur_v to_o this_o motion_n i_o will_v first_o consider_v the_o arm_n as_o compose_v of_o many_o muscle_n which_o have_v general_o some_o action_n when_o we_o lift_v a_o weight_n up_o or_o when_o we_o different_o move_v body_n but_o i_o keep_v only_o to_o one_o suppose_v the_o rest_n to_o be_v form_v very_o near_o after_o the_o same_o manner_n i_o instruct_v myself_o of_o its_o composition_n by_o the_o help_n of_o some_o book_n of_o anatomy_n or_o rather_o by_o a_o sensible_a sight_n of_o its_o fibre_n and_o tendon_n which_o i_o get_v some_o able_a anatomist_n to_o dissect_v for_o i_o to_o who_o i_o make_v all_o the_o demand_n which_o shall_v afterward_o produce_v in_o my_o mind_n some_o method_n for_o i_o to_o find_v what_o i_o seek_v consider_v therefore_o all_o thing_n attentive_o i_o can_v doubt_v but_o the_o principle_n of_o the_o motion_n of_o my_o arm_n depend_v upon_o the_o contraction_n of_o the_o muscle_n which_o compose_v it_o and_o if_o i_o have_v not_o a_o mind_n to_o perplex_v myself_o with_o too_o many_o thing_n i_o may_v suppose_v according_a to_o the_o common_a opinion_n that_o this_o contraction_n be_v produce_v by_o the_o animal_n spirit_n which_o fill_v these_o muscle_n and_o by_o this_o mean_n shorten_v they_o the_o whole_a question_n then_o which_o respect_v voluntary_a motion_n will_v be_v reduce_v to_o know_v how_o the_o few_o animal_n spirit_n which_o be_v contain_v in_o a_o arm_n can_v sudden_o swell_v the_o muscle_n according_a to_o the_o order_n of_o the_o will_n with_o a_o sufficient_a force_n to_o lift_v a_o burden_n of_o a_o hundred_o weight_n or_o more_o when_o we_o consider_v this_o with_o any_o application_n the_o first_o mean_n that_o present_v itself_o to_o the_o imagination_n be_v common_o that_o of_o some_o violent_a and_o quick_a fermentation_n like_v to_o that_o of_o gunpowder_n or_o certain_a liquor_n fill_v with_o volatile_a salt_n when_o they_o be_v mix_v with_o those_o that_o be_v acid_n or_o full_a of_o fix_a salt_n a_o little_a gunpowder_n when_o light_v be_v capable_a of_o raise_v not_o only_o a_o hundred_o pound_v weight_n but_o a_o tower_n and_o even_o a_o mountain_n earthquake_n which_o overthrow_n town_n and_o shake_v whole_a province_n be_v also_o produce_v by_o spirit_n which_o be_v kindle_v under_o ground_n much_o like_a gunpowder_n thus_o suppose_v in_o the_o arm_n such_o a_o cause_n of_o the_o fermentation_n and_o dilatation_n of_o spirit_n we_o may_v say_v that_o it_o be_v the_o principle_n of_o the_o power_n that_o man_n have_v to_o perform_v such_o quick_a and_o violent_a motion_n however_o as_o we_o ought_v to_o distrust_v this_o mean_n which_o enter_v into_o the_o mind_n only_o by_o the_o sense_n and_o whereof_o we_o have_v no_o clear_a and_o evident_a knowledge_n we_o must_v not_o too_o easy_o admit_v of_o it_o for_o indeed_o it_o be_v not_o sufficient_a to_o give_v a_o reason_n of_o the_o force_n and_o quickness_n of_o our_o motion_n by_o a_o comparison_n since_o this_o reason_n be_v confuse_v and_o imperfect_a for_o we_o must_v here_o explain_v a_o voluntary_a motion_n and_o fermentation_n be_v not_o voluntary_a the_o blood_n excessive_o ferment_n in_o fever_n and_o we_o can_v prevent_v it_o the_o spirit_n be_v inflame_v and_o agitate_a in_o the_o brain_n and_o their_o agitation_n diminish_v not_o according_a to_o our_o desire_n when_o a_o man_n move_v his_o arm_n after_o diverse_a way_n according_a to_o this_o explanation_n he_o must_v make_v a_o million_o of_o great_a and_o small_a quick_a and_o slow_a fermentation_n that_o begin_v and_o which_o be_v still_o more_o difficult_a to_o explain_v according_a to_o this_o supposition_n that_o end_n in_o the_o same_o moment_n he_o will_v it_o these_o fermentation_n must_v not_o dissipate_v all_o their_o matter_n and_o this_o matter_n must_v be_v always_o ready_a to_o take_v fire_n when_o a_o man_n walk_v ten_o mile_n how_o many_o thousand_o time_n must_v the_o muscle_n which_o he_o use_v in_o walk_v be_v fill_v and_o empty_v and_o what_o a_o vast_a quantity_n of_o spirit_n will_v be_v require_v if_o fermentation_n shall_v dissipate_v and_o destroy_v they_o at_o every_o step._n this_o reason_n be_v therefore_o imperfect_a to_o explain_v the_o motion_n of_o our_o body_n which_o entire_o depend_v upon_o our_o will._n it_o be_v evident_a that_o the_o present_a question_n consist_v in_o this_o mechanical_a problem_n by_o pneumatick_a

and_o that_o the_o application_n of_o this_o little_a force_n shall_v produce_v its_o desire_a effect_n and_o depend_v upon_o the_o will._n now_o this_o problem_n be_v easy_o resolve_v and_o the_o demonstration_n of_o it_o be_v clear_a we_o may_v resolve_v it_o by_o a_o vessel_n which_o have_v two_o orifice_n one_o of_o which_o be_v a_o little_a more_o than_o 1600._o time_n great_a than_o the_o

bellows_o for_o then_o the_o force_n of_o 1600_o time_n the_o less_o shall_v overcome_v the_o great_a the_o demonstration_n of_o it_o be_v clear_a from_o mechanic_n since_o the_o power_n be_v not_o

to_o the_o great_a orifice_n but_o to_o resolve_v this_o problem_n by_o a_o machine_n which_o represent_v the_o effect_n of_o the_o muscle_n better_a than_o this_o instance_n already_o mention_v blow_v up_o a_o football_n and_o let_v there_o be_v a_o great_a stone_n of_o 5_o or_o 6_o hundred_o weight_n lay_v upon_o it_o when_o half_o fill_v with_o wind_n or_o place_v the_o ball_n upon_o a_o

the_o swell_a of_o the_o football_n for_o if_o one_o blow_n in_o the_o football_n once_o only_o with_o his_o mouth_n it_o will_v raise_v up_o the_o stone_n which_o press_v it_o down_o or_o the_o man_n who_o sit_v upon_o it_o provide_v a_o the_o orifice_n by_o which_o the_o wind_n enter_v the_o football_n have_v a_o sucker_n to_o hinder_v it_o from_o go_v out_o whilst_o the_o person_n take_v

if_o then_o we_o conceive_v that_o all_o the_o muscle_n or_o each_o of_o the_o fibre_n which_o compose_v they_o have_v like_o this_o football_n a_o capacity_n fit_a to_o receive_v the_o animal_n spirit_n that_o the_o pore_n by_o which_o the_o spirit_n insinuate_v themselves_o be_v still_o small_a in_o proportion_n than_o the_o neck_n of_o a_o bladder_n or_o orifice_n of_o a_o ball_n that_o the_o spirit_n be_v keep_v in_o and_o push_v forward_o in_o the_o nerve_n like_o air_n in_o tube_n and_o that_o the_o spirit_n be_v more_o agitate_a than_o the_o breath_n of_o the_o lung_n and_o push_v with_o more_o force_n in_o the_o muscle_n than_o in_o ball_n we_o shall_v discover_v that_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o spirit_n which_o be_v disperse_v through_o the_o muscle_n can_v overcome_v the_o force_n of_o the_o most_o weighty_a burden_n we_o can_v bear_v and_o that_o if_o we_o can_v carry_v the_o heavy_a the_o defect_n of_o the_o power_n proceed_v not_o so_o much_o from_o the_o

the_o law_n of_o the_o union_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o body_n the_o motion_n of_o these_o spirit_n as_o to_o their_o determination_n depend_v upon_o the_o will_n of_o man_n we_o shall_v plain_o see_v that_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o arm_n must_v be_v voluntary_a it_o be_v true_a we_o remove_v our_o arm_n with_o so_o much_o quickness_n that_o at_o first_o it_o seem_v incredible_a that_o the_o effusion_n of_o the_o spirit_n in_o the_o muscle_n which_o compose_v they_o shall_v be_v quick_a enough_o to_o produce_v such_o a_o motion_n but_o we_o must_v consider_v that_o these_o spirit_n be_v extreme_o agitate_a always_o ready_a to_o go_v from_o one_o muscle_n to_o another_o and_o that_o there_o be_v not_o need_v of_o many_o to_o swell_v they_o up_o so_o little_a as_o be_v necessary_a to_o move_v they_o only_o or_o when_o we_o lift_v any_o thing_n that_o be_v very_a light_n from_o the_o ground_n for_o when_o we_o have_v any_o thing_n heavy_a to_o lift_v we_o can_v do_v it_o so_o speedy_o burden_n be_v heavy_a will_v much_o swell_v and_o stretch_v the_o muscle_n to_o swell_v they_o up_o after_o this_o manner_n require_v more_o spirit_n than_o there_o be_v in_o the_o adjoin_a or_o opposite_a muscle_n there_o must_v therefore_o be_v some_o little_a time_n to_o collect_v these_o spirit_n in_o a_o quantity_n sufficient_a to_o resist_v this_o weight_n so_o that_o those_o which_o be_v lade_v can_v run_v and_o those_o that_o take_v any_o weighty_a thing_n from_o the_o ground_n can_v do_v it_o with_o so_o much_o haste_n as_o those_o who_o take_v up_o a_o straw_n if_o we_o further_o reflect_v that_o those_o that_o have_v more_o heat_n or_o a_o little_a wine_n in_o their_o head_n be_v much_o quick_a than_o other_o as_o among_o animal_n those_o who_o spirit_n be_v more_o agitate_a as_o bird_n move_v more_o swift_o than_o they_o that_o have_v their_o blood_n cold_a like_a frog_n and_o that_o even_o among_o they_o there_o be_v some_o as_o the_o chameleon_n the_o

which_o contribute_v to_o these_o motion_n than_o what_o we_o have_v attribute_v to_o it_o for_o there_o be_v probable_o in_o our_o muscle_n a_o thousand_o spring_n which_o facilitate_v these_o

there_o ferment_n and_o dilate_v its_o self_n since_o there_o be_v cavity_n there_o the_o first_o of_o these_o determination_n be_v found_v upon_o what_o i_o have_v already_o say_v and_o the_o second_o because_o the_o heart_n be_v much_o hot_a than_o all_o the_o other_o part_n of_o the_o body_n as_o it_o be_v that_o which_o disperse_v heat_n with_o the_o blood_n into_o all_o our_o member_n that_o these_o two_o cavity_n can_v neither_o have_v be_v form_v nor_o preferve_v but_o only_o by_o the_o dilatation_n of_o the_o blood_n and_o that_o thus_o they_o be_v serviceable_a to_o the_o

vessel_n agitate_a in_o the_o water_n by_o little_a and_o little_o cease_v to_o move_v it_o be_v a_o undoubted_a mark_n that_o the_o water_n resist_v its_o motion_n instead_o of_o facilitate_v it_o as_o descartes_n pretend_v and_o consequent_o it_o will_v yet_o be_v infinite_o more_o easy_a to_o agitate_v a_o great_a body_n in_o a_o void_a than_o in_o water_n since_o there_o be_v no_o resistance_n from_o body_n about_o it_o it_o be_v therefore_o evident_a that_o rest_n have_v no_o power_n to_o resist_v motion_n that_o the_o least_o motion_n contain_v more_o power_n and_o force_n than_o the_o grear_a rest_n or_o at_o least_o that_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o measure_v the_o force_n of_o motion_n and_o rest_n by_o the_o proportion_n that_o be_v find_v between_o great_a body_n which_o be_v in_o motion_n and_o in_o rest_n as_o descartes_n have_v do_v it_o be_v true_a there_o be_v some_o reason_n to_o believe_v that_o a_o vessel_n be_v agitate_a as_o soon_o as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o water_n because_o of_o the_o continual_a change_n which_o happen_v to_o the_o part_n of_o the_o water_n that_o encompass_v it_o although_o it_o seem_v to_o we_o that_o it_o do_v not_o

of_o wood_n be_v push_v more_o by_o the_o water_n to_o the_o side_n of_o a_o than_o to_o the_o side_n of_o b_o therefore_o it_o must_v always_o advance_v towards_o it_o and_o because_o this_o

agitate_a matter_n have_v it_o seem_v than_o i_o may_v reasonable_o conclude_v that_o the_o union_n of_o the_o constituent_a part_n of_o hard_a body_n depend_v upon_o the_o subtle_a matter_n which_o encompass_n and_o compress_n they_o since_o the_o two_o other_o thing_n that_o we_o can_v think_v to_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o this_o union_n be_v not_o true_o so_o as_o we_o have_v already_o see_v for_o since_o i_o find_v resistance_n enough_o in_o break_v a_o piece_n of_o iron_n and_o that_o this_o resistance_n proceed_v neither_o from_o the_o iron_n nor_o the_o will_n of_o god_n as_o i_o

nevertheless_o i_o shall_v further_o give_v some_o positive_a proof_n of_o this_o opinion_n after_o i_o have_v explain_v it_o more_o at_o large_a by_o some_o example_n take_v a_o globe_n of_o any_o hard_a metal_n which_o be_v hollow_a within_o cut_v it_o into_o two_o hemisphere_n and_o join_v these_o two_o hemisphere_n with_o a_o little_a wax_n at_o the_o place_n of_o their_o union_n and_o exhaust_v the_o air_n out_o of_o it_o these_o two_o hemisphere_n join_v one_o to_o the_o other_o after_o this_o manner_n if_o many_o horse_n be_v fasten_v to_o they_o some_o on_o one_o side_n and_o some_o on_o the_o other_o can_v not_o be_v separate_v by_o they_o suppose_v the_o magnitude_n of_o the_o hemisphere_n to_o be_v in_o proportion_n to_o the_o number_n of_o horse_n yet_o if_o we_o suffer_v the_o air_n to_o re-enter_v one_o person_n alone_o can_v separate_v they_o without_o any_o difficulty_n it_o be_v easy_a to_o conclude_v from_o this_o instance_n that_o what_o so_o strong_o unite_v these_o two_o hemisphere_n proceed_v from_o their_o be_v compress_v and_o surround_v
upon_o their_o external_n and_o convex_a surface_n by_o the_o air_n which_o environ_n they_o whilst_o there_o be_v no_o counterpressure_n in_o their_o internal_a and_o concave_a surface_n so_o that_o the_o action_n of_o the_o horse_n that_o draw_v the_o two_o hemisphere_n on_o both_o side_n can_v not_o overcome_v the_o effort_n of_o a_o infinite_a number_n of_o little_a particle_n of_o the_o air_n that_o resist_v they_o by_o press_v these_o two_o hemisphere_n together_o but_o the_o least_o force_n be_v capable_a of_o separate_v they_o when_o the_o air_n be_v enter_v again_o within_o the_o

no_o air_n without_o the_o bladder_n to_o resist_v that_o which_o be_v within_o it_o be_v likewise_o the_o same_o reason_n that_o i_o have_v give_v for_o the_o first_o experiment_n that_o two_o

these_o two_o part_n of_o marble_n be_v press_v and_o constringe_v by_o the_o external_n air_n which_o encompass_n they_o and_o be_v not_o so_o strong_o push_v by_o it_o within_o i_o may_v bring_v a_o infinite_a number_n of_o other_o experiment_n to_o prove_v that_o the_o gross_a air_n which_o environ_n body_n strong_o unite_v their_o part_n but_o what_o i_o have_v say_v may_v suffice_v clear_o to_o explain_v my_o thought_n upon_o the_o present_a question_n i_o say_v then_o that_o which_o so_o strong_o unite_v the_o part_n of_o hard_a body_n and_o these_o little_a link_n i_o have_v before_o

some_o trouble_v to_o separate_v they_o be_v not_o their_o rest_n but_o the_o agitation_n of_o these_o little_a body_n which_o surround_v they_o so_o that_o what_o resist_v motion_n be_v not_o rest_n

the_o difficulty_n we_o have_v to_o imagine_v body_n small_a and_o more_o agitate_a than_o those_o we_o see_v every_o day_n we_o must_v consider_v that_o the_o hardness_n of_o body_n must_v not_o be_v

that_o have_v but_o think_v a_o little_a upon_o it_o but_o in_o suppose_v that_o rest_n have_v force_n enough_o to_o resist_v motion_n and_o that_o a_o great_a body_n in_o rest_n can_v not_o be_v move_v by_o another_o that_o be_v less_o than_o it_o although_o it_o strike_v it_o with_o a_o furious_a agitation_n it_o be_v plain_a that_o great_a body_n must_v have_v much_o less_o motion_n than_o a_o like_a mass_n of_o little_a body_n since_o according_a to_o this_o supposition_n they_o can_v always_o communicate_v what_o they_o have_v and_o can_v always_o receive_v from_o the_o lesser_a thus_o this_o supposition_n not_o be_v contrary_a to_o whatsoever_o descartes_n have_v say_v in_o his_o principle_n from_o the_o beginning_n unto_o the_o establishment_n of_o his_o rule_n of_o

be_v also_o sufficient_o confirm_v by_o their_o effect_n i_o agree_v with_o descartes_n that_o great_a body_n communicate_v their_o motion_n much_o more_o easy_o than_o little_a body_n do_v and_o therefore_o his_o first_o element_n be_v much_o more_o agitate_a than_o the_o second_o and_o the_o second_o than_o the_o three_o but_o the_o cause_n of_o it_o be_v clear_a without_o have_v any_o regard_n to_o his_o supposition_n little_o and_o fluid_a body_n as_o water_n air_n etc._n etc._n can_v only_o communicate_v to_o great_a body_n a_o uniform_a motion_n which_o be_v common_a to_o all_o their_o part_n the_o water_n in_o a_o river_n can_v only_o communicate_v to_o a_o boat_n the_o motion_n of_o descent_n which_o be_v common_a to_o all_o the_o little_a part_n of_o which_o the_o water_n be_v compose_v and_o every_o one_o of_o these_o part_n beside_o this_o common_a motion_n have_v also_o a_o infinite_a number_n of_o other_o particular_n thus_o by_o this_o reason_n it_o be_v plain_a that_o a_o boat_n for_o instance_n can_v never_o have_v so_o much_o motion_n as_o a_o equal_a bulk_n of_o water_n since_o the_o boat_n can_v only_o receive_v from_o the_o water_n that_o motion_n which_o be_v direct_a and_o common_a to_o all_o the_o part_n that_o compose_v it_o if_o twenty_o particle_n of_o a_o fluid_a body_n push_v any_o other_o body_n on_o the_o one_o side_n and_o as_o

their_o motion_n thus_o great_a body_n who_o part_n be_v unite_v can_v only_o receive_v the_o circular_a and_o uniform_a motion_n of_o the_o vortex_n of_o the_o subtle_a matter_n which_o environ_n

for_o a_o explanation_n of_o these_o thing_n to_o suppose_v any_o force_n in_o rest_n to_o resist_v motion_n the_o certainty_n of_o descartes_n principle_n can_v be_v a_o sufficient_a proof_n to_o

the_o hardness_n of_o body_n only_o to_o the_o rest_n of_o their_o part_n and_o their_o elasticity_n to_o the_o force_n of_o a_o subtle_a matter_n here_o follow_v now_o the_o rule_n of_o the_o

since_o they_o be_v only_o hard_a by_o the_o pressure_n of_o the_o subtle_a matter_n which_o surround_v they_o if_o two_o body_n meet_v they_o will_v flatten_a without_o rebound_v we_o must_v therefore_o give_v these_o rule_n suppose_v they_o hard_o of_o themselves_o and_o not_o by_o the_o pressure_n of_o this_o subtle_a matter_n rest_v have_v no_o power_n to_o resist_v motion_n and_o many_o body_n before_o be_v consider_v as_o one_o only_a in_o the_o moment_n of_o their_o meeting_n it_o be_v plain_a they_o ought_v not_o to_o rebound_v when_o they_o be_v equal_a in_o magnitude_n and_o velocity_n or_o that_o their_o velocity_n supply_v the_o desect_v of_o their_o magnitude_n or_o their_o magnitude_n the_o defect_n of_o their_o velocity_n and_o it_o be_v easy_a from_o thence_o to_o conclude_v that_o in_o all_o other_o case_n they_o must_v always_o communicate_v their_o motion_n motion_n a_o general_a rule_n for_o the_o communication_n of_o motion_n so_o that_o they_o may_v

meet_v one_o another_o we_o need_v
only_o add_v together_o all_o the_o degree_n of_o motion_n of_o two_o or_o many_o body_n which_o must_v be_v consider_v only_o as_o one_o at_o the_o time_n when_o they_o mere_a principle_n see_v

whence_o i_o conclude_v that_o of_o the_o seven_o rule_n that_o descartes_n give_v of_o motion_n the_o three_o first_o be_v good_a the_o four_o be_v false_a and_o b_o must_v communicate_v its_o

motion_n that_o the_o five_o be_v true_a that_o the_o six_o be_v false_a and_o that_o b_o must_v communicate_v the_o half_n of_o its_o motion_n to_o c._n and_o that_o the_o seven_o be_v false_a since_o b_o must_v always_o communicate_v its_o motion_n to_o c_o in_o proportion_n to_o the_o magnitude_n and_o motion_n of_o both_o b_o and_z c._n that_o if_o according_a to_o the_o supposition_n c_o be_v double_a to_o b_o and_o have_v three_o degree_n of_o motion_n whilst_o c_z have_v but_o two_o they_o must_v necessary_o move_v together_o since_o indeed_o c_z and_o b_o be_v but_o one_o body_n at_o the_o time_n of_o their_o meeting_n and_o because_o we_o must_v add_v the_o degree_n of_o swiftness_n which_o be_v five_o and_o afterward_o divide_v they_o in_o proportion_n to_o their_o magnitude_n and_o so_o give_v 1â…”_n to_o b_o and_o 3â…“_n to_o c_o the_o double_a of_o b._n but_o these_o rule_n although_o certain_a by_o what_o i_o have_v say_v be_v yet_o contrary_a to_o

to_o answer_v to_o which_o we_o must_v call_v to_o mind_n what_o have_v be_v say_v about_o the_o cause_n of_o elactity_n that_o there_o be_v a_o matter_n who_o agitation_n be_v strange_o violent_a which_o continual_o pass_v between_o the_o part_n of_o hard_a body_n and_o make_v they_o so_o by_o compress_v they_o as_o much_o upon_o the_o external_a as_o internal_a part_n for_o from_o thence_o it_o be_v easy_o see_v that_o in_o the_o time_n of_o percussion_n two_o body_n which_o meet_v drive_v or_o divert_v the_o course_n of_o this_o matter_n from_o the_o near_a place_n to_o those_o where_o

up_o that_o which_o prove_v yet_o more_o clear_o what_o i_o have_v say_v be_v that_o if_o two_o ball_n of_o lead_n or_o some_o other_o less_o elastic_a matter_n meet_v together_o they_o rebound_v

be_v less_o body_n then_o rebound_v after_o their_o percussion_n because_o they_o be_v hard_a that_o be_v as_o i_o have_v explain_v because_o there_o be_v a_o sort_n of_o matter_n much_o agitate_a which_o compress_n they_o and_o which_o pass_v through_o their_o pore_n with_o a_o great_a violence_n repulse_n the_o body_n which_o strike_v against_o one_o another_o but_o we_o must_v suppose_v that_o the_o body_n which_o meet_v break_v not_o those_o they_o strike_v against_o by_o a_o motion_n that_o conquer_v the_o force_n which_o these_o little_a part_n of_o subtle_a matter_n have_v to_o resist_v as_o when_o we_o discharge_v a_o musket_n against_o a_o piece_n of_o wood_n it_o be_v true_a this_o subtle_a matter_n compress_n soft_a body_n and_o pass_v very_o quick_o through_o their_o

be_v always_o many_o that_o do_v hurt_v the_o sick_a be_v impatient_a and_o as_o it_o be_v not_o for_o the_o honour_n of_o physician_n or_o the_o profit_n of_o apothecary_n to_o visit_v the_o sick_a without_o prescribe_v to_o they_o so_o also_o physician_n visit_v too_o seldom_o and_o prescribe_v too_o often_o therefore_o when_o one_o be_v sick_a he_o shall_v pray_v his_o physician_n to_o hazard_v nothing_o but_o to_o follow_v nature_n and_o fortify_v it_o as_o much_o as_o he_o can_v he_o shall_v acquaint_v he_o that_o he_o have_v more_o reason_n and_o patience_n than_o to_o take_v

another_o of_o which_o i_o have_v give_v many_o instance_n in_o this_o work_n because_o it_o be_v therein_o that_o our_o error_n chief_o consist_v in_o respect_n to_o what_o pass_v in_o ourselves_o as_o we_o have_v no_o clear_a idea_n of_o what_o constitute_v the_o nature_n or_o essence_n of_o our_o mind_n nor_o of_o the_o modification_n it_o be_v capable_a of_o it_o often_o happen_v that_o we_o

to_o discern_v whether_o there_o be_v any_o difference_n between_o they_o for_o to_o effect_v this_o we_o must_v look_v into_o ourselves_o not_o to_o consider_v what_o be_v voluntary_o do_v in_o

that_o the_o roundness_n of_o a_o body_n be_v different_a from_o its_o motion_n and_o although_o we_o know_v by_o experience_n that_o a_o bowl_n upon_o a_o plane_n can_v be_v push_v without_o be_v

pleasure_n as_o a_o ball_n do_v by_o its_o roundness_n and_o because_o it_o be_v never_o without_o a_o impression_n towards_o good_a it_o be_v immediate_o put_v in_o motion_n towards_o the_o object_n which_o cause_n or_o seem_v to_o cause_v this_o pleasure_n so_o that_o this_o motion_n of_o love_n happen_v to_o the_o soul_n at_o the_o same_o time_n it_o feel_v this_o pleasure_n it_o be_v enough_o to_o make_v it_o confound_v its_o pleasure_n with_o its_o love_n because_o it_o have_v not_o so_o clear_a a_o idea_n either_o of_o its_o pleasure_n or_o its_o love_n as_o it_o have_v of_o figure_n and_o motion_n wherefore_o some_o person_n will_v believe_v that_o pleasure_n and_o love_n be_v not_o different_a and_o that_o i_o distinguish_v too_o many_o thing_n in_o each_o of_o our_o passion_n but_o to_o make_v it_o plain_o appear_v that_o pleasure_n and_o love_n be_v very_o different_a i_o shall_v distinguish_v two_o sort_n of_o pleasure_n one_o of_o which_o precede_v reason_n as_o agreeable_a sensation_n which_o we_o common_o call_v pleasure_n of_o the_o body_n and_o the_o other_o sort_n neither_o precede_v reason_n nor_o the_o sense_n and_o be_v general_o call_v the_o pleasure_n of_o the_o soul_n such_o as_o joy_v which_o be_v excite_v in_o we_o in_o consequence_n of_o a_o clear_a knowledge_n or_o a_o confuse_a sensation_n which_o we_o have_v that_o some_o good_a be_v or_o will_v happen_v to_o we_o for_o instance_n a_o man_n taste_v of_o a_o fruit_n which_o he_o know_v not_o find_v some_o pleasure_n in_o eat_v it_o if_o this_o fruit_n be_v good_a for_o his_o nourishment_n this_o be_v a_o prevent_a pleasure_n for_o since_o he_o feel_v it_o before_o he_o know_v whether_o this_o fruit_n be_v good_a or_o nor_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o this_o pleasure_n prevent_v his_o reason_n a_o huntsman_n when_o hungry_a expect_v or_o actual_o find_v something_o to_o eat_v actual_o feel_v joy_n now_o this_o joy_n be_v a_o pleasure_n which_o follow_v the_o knowledge_n he_o have_v of_o his_o present_a or_o future_a good_a it_o be_v perhaps_o evident_a by_o this_o distinction_n of_o pleasure_n into_o that_o which_o follow_v and_o precede_v reason_n that_o there_o be_v neither_o of_o they_o but_o differ_v from_o love_n for_o that_o pleasure_n which_o precede_v reason_n certain_o precede_v love_n since_o it_o precede_v all_o knowledge_n which_o in_o some_o degree_n or_o other_o be_v always_o suppose_a by_o love_n and_o on_o the_o contrary_a joy_n or_o pleasure_n which_o suppose_v knowledge_n also_o suppose_v love_n since_o joy_n suppose_v the_o confuse_a sensation_n or_o clear_a knowledge_n that_o we_o do_v or_o shall_v possess_v what_o we_o love_v and_o if_o we_o possess_v a_o thing_n we_o have_v no_o love_n for_o we_o shall_v receive_v no_o joy_n by_o it_o thus_o pleasure_n be_v very_o different_a from_o love_n since_o the_o pleasure_n which_o precede_v reason_n precede_v and_o cause_v love_n and_o the_o pleasure_n which_o follow_v reason_n necessary_o suppose_v love_n as_o a_o effect_n suppose_v the_o cause_n otherwise_o if_o pleasure_n and_o love_n be_v the_o same_o thing_n there_o will_v never_o be_v pleasure_n without_o love_n nor_o love_n without_o pleasure_n for_o a_o thing_n can_v be_v without_o itself_o yet_o a_o christian_a love_n his_o enemy_n and_o a_o child_n well_o educate_v love_v his_o father_n how_o unreasonable_a and_o unkind_a soever_o he_o may_v be_v the_o sight_n of_o their_o duty_n the_o fear_n of_o god_n and_o love_n of_o order_n and_o justice_n make_v they_o love_n not_o only_o without_o pleasure_n but_o even_o with_o a_o kind_n of_o horror_n such_o person_n as_o be_v not_o agreeable_a to_o they_o i_o confess_v they_o sometime_o feel_v pleasure_n or_o joy_n when_o they_o think_v they_o do_v their_o duty_n or_o when_o they_o hope_v to_o be_v recompense_v according_a to_o their_o merit_n but_o beside_o that_o this_o pleasure_n visible_o differ_v very_o much_o from_o the_o love_n they_o have_v to_o their_o father_n or_o enemy_n although_o it_o be_v perhaps_o the_o motive_n of_o it_o it_o often_o happen_v that_o it_o be_v not_o even_o this_o motive_n which_o make_v they_o act_v it_o be_v sometime_o only_a a_o abstract_a view_n of_o order_n or_o notion_n of_o fear_n which_o preserve_v their_o love_n we_o may_v even_o in_o one_o sense_n say_v they_o have_v a_o love_n for_o these_o person_n at_o the_o time_n they_o think_v not_o of_o they_o for_o love_n remain_v in_o we_o during_o the_o diversion_n of_o our_o thought_n and_o whilst_o we_o sleep_v but_o pleasure_n seem_v to_o i_o to_o subsist_v no_o long_o in_o the_o soul_n than_o whilst_o it_o be_v sensible_a of_o it_o thus_o love_n or_o charity_n remain_v in_o we_o without_o pleasure_n or_o delight_n it_o can_v be_v maintain_v that_o pleasure_n and_o love_n be_v the_o same_o thing_n as_o pleasure_n and_o pain_n be_v two_o direct_a contrary_n if_o pleasure_n be_v the_o same_o thing_n with_o love_n
pain_n will_v not_o differ_v from_o hatred_n now_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o pain_n be_v different_a from_o hatred_n since_o pain_n often_o subsist_v without_o hatred_n a_o man_n for_o instance_n who_o be_v hurt_v without_o observe_v it_o suffer_v a_o real_a and_o cut_a pain_n but_o be_v free_a from_o hatred_n for_o he_o do_v not_o so_o much_o as_o know_v the_o cause_n of_o his_o pain_n or_o object_n of_o his_o hatred_n or_o rather_o the_o cause_n of_o his_o pain_n not_o be_v worthy_a of_o hatred_n it_o can_v excite_v it_o in_o he_o thus_o he_o hate_v not_o this_o cause_n of_o his_o pain_n although_o his_o pain_n incline_v he_o to_o or_o dispose_v he_o to_o hate_v it_o it_o be_v true_a this_o man_n hate_v his_o pain_n for_o pain_n deserve_v hatred_n but_o the_o hatred_n of_o pain_n be_v not_o pain_n but_o only_o suppose_v it_o the_o hatred_n of_o pain_n be_v not_o worthy_a of_o hatred_n as_o pain_n on_o the_o contrary_a it_o be_v very_o agreeable_a for_o we_o please_v ourselves_o in_o hate_v pain_n as_o we_o be_v displease_v in_o suffer_v it_o pain_n therefore_o be_v not_o hatred_n nor_o be_v pleasure_n which_o be_v opposite_a to_o pain_n love_n which_o be_v opposite_a to_o hatred_n consequent_o the_o pleasure_n which_o precede_v reason_n be_v not_o the_o same_o thing_n as_o love_n and_o i_o likewise_o prove_v that_o the_o joy_n or_o pleasure_n which_o follow_v reason_n be_v also_o distinct_a from_o love_n as_o joy_n and_o sorrow_n be_v direct_o opposite_a if_o joy_n be_v the_o same_o thing_n as_o love_n sorrow_n will_v not_o differ_v from_o hatred_n but_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o sorrow_n be_v different_a from_o hatred_n for_o sorrow_n sometime_o subsist_v without_o hatred_n for_o instance_n a_o man_n find_v himself_o by_o chance_n deprive_v of_o such_o thing_n as_o he_o have_v need_n of_o this_o be_v enough_o to_o cause_v sorrow_n but_o it_o can_v excite_v hatred_n in_o he_o either_o because_o he_o know_v not_o the_o cause_n which_o deprive_v he_o of_o these_o necessary_n or_o else_o that_o this_o cause_v not_o be_v worthy_a of_o his_o hatred_n it_o can_v not_o stir_v it_o up_o in_o he_o it_o be_v true_a this_o man_n hate_v the_o privation_n or_o the_o good_a that_o he_o love_v but_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o this_o kind_n of_o hatred_n be_v proper_o love_n for_o he_o hate_v the_o privation_n of_o good_a only_o because_o he_o love_v the_o good_a and_o since_o to_o fly_v the_o privation_n of_o good_a be_v to_o incline_v towards_o good_a it_o be_v evident_a that_o the_o motion_n of_o this_o man_n hatred_n differ_v not_o from_o that_o of_o his_o love_n thus_o his_o hatred_n if_o he_o be_v possess_v of_o any_o not_o be_v contrary_a to_o his_o love_n and_o sorrow_n be_v always_o opposite_a to_o joy_n it_o be_v plain_a that_o his_o sorrow_n be_v not_o his_o hatred_n consequent_o joy_n differ_v from_o love_n in_o fine_a it_o be_v manifest_v when_o we_o be_v sorrowful_a it_o be_v because_o of_o the_o presence_n of_o something_o we_o hate_v or_o rather_o the_o absence_n of_o something_o we_o love_v thus_o sorrow_n suppose_v hatred_n or_o rather_o love_n but_o be_v very_o different_a from_o both_o these_o thing_n i_o very_o well_o know_v st._n austin_n affirm_v that_o pain_n be_v a_o a_o version_n which_o the_o soul_n conceive_v because_o the_o body_n be_v not_o dispose_v after_o such_o a_o manner_n as_o it_o wish_n and_o that_o he_o often_o confound_v delectation_n with_o charity_n pleasure_n with_o joy_n pain_n with_o sorrow_n pleasure_n and_o joy_n with_o love_n pain_n and_o sorrow_n with_o aversion_n or_o hatred_n but_o it_o be_v very_o probable_a that_o this_o holy_a doctor_n speak_v all_o this_o according_a to_o the_o general_a language_n among_o the_o common_a sort_n of_o

this_o kind_n of_o be_v nor_o see_v how_o they_o can_v move_v body_n but_o also_o since_o these_o being_n will_v themselves_o have_v need_n of_o some_o other_o to_o move_v they_o and_o so_o on_o ad_fw-la infinitum_fw-la for_o none_o but_o god_n be_v true_o immovable_a and_o sole_a mover_n together_o which_o be_v suppose_v when_o a_o body_n strike_v and_o move_v another_o i_o may_v say_v
