solid_a body_n be_v as_o active_a as_o the_o most_o rare_a and_o fluid_a part_n of_o matter_n if_o not_o exterious_o yet_o interious_o and_o therefore_o we_o can_v say_v that_o rare_a and_o fluid_a

when_o as_o he_o grant_v that_o body_n be_v divisible_a in_o infinite_a for_o if_o there_o be_v infinite_a action_n as_o infinite_a division_n in_o nature_n then_o sure_o the_o body_n of_o nature_n

to_o be_v observe_v that_o as_o the_o time_n of_o freeze_a so_o the_o time_n of_o dissolve_v be_v according_a to_o the_o several_a nature_n and_o temper_n both_o of_o the_o freeze_a body_n themselves_o and_o the_o exterior_a object_n apply_v to_o freeze_a body_n which_o occasion_n their_o thaw_v or_o dissolution_n for_o it_o be_v not_o only_a heat_n that_o do_v cause_n ice_n or_o snow_n or_o other_o freeze_a body_n to_o melt_v quick_a or_o slow_a but_o according_a as_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o heat_n be_v either_o more_o or_o less_o dilative_a or_o more_o or_o less_o rarify_n for_o sure_o a_o exterior_a actual_a heat_n be_v more_o rarify_n then_o a_o interior_a virtual_a heat_n as_o we_o see_v in_o strong_a spirituous_a liquor_n which_o be_v interious_o contract_v but_o be_v

to_o be_v observe_v that_o oftentimes_o a_o different_a application_n of_o one_o and_o the_o same_o object_n will_v occasion_v different_a effect_n as_o for_o example_n if_o salt_n be_v mix_v with_o

into_o piece_n of_o its_o own_o accord_n and_o without_o the_o application_n of_o any_o exterior_a object_n and_o the_o reason_n in_o my_o opinion_n be_v that_o some_o of_o the_o interior_a part_n of_o the_o ice_n endeavour_v to_o return_v to_o their_o proper_a and_o natural_a figure_n by_o virtue_n of_o their_o interior_a dilative_a motion_n do_v break_v and_o divide_v some_o of_o the_o

harmless_o though_o not_o so_o quick_o thaw_v and_o true_o this_o experiment_n stand_v much_o to_o reason_n for_o in_o my_o opinion_n when_o freeze_a body_n perceive_v heat_n or_o fire_n the_o motion_n of_o their_o freeze_a part_n upon_o the_o perception_n endeavour_v to_o imitate_v the_o motion_n of_o heat_n or_o fire_n which_o be_v opposite_a to_o the_o motion_n of_o cold_a in_o this_o

be_v very_o probable_a that_o freeze_a body_n will_v thaw_v more_o regular_o in_o water_n or_o be_v wrap_v into_o ice_n or_o snow_n then_o by_o heat_n or_o fire_n for_o thaw_v be_v a_o dilate_v

part_n by_o sympathy_n provide_v the_o motion_n of_o the_o exterior_a cold_n do_v not_o overpower_v the_o motion_n of_o the_o interior_a freeze_a part_n for_o if_o a_o freeze_a body_n shall_v be_v wrap_v thus_o into_o ice_n or_o snow_n and_o continue_v in_o a_o open_a cold_a frosty_a air_n i_o question_v whether_o it_o will_v cause_v a_o thaw_n in_o the_o same_o body_n it_o will_v preserve_v

in_o water_n will_v produce_v ice_n on_o their_o outside_n be_v no_o wonder_n by_o reason_n the_o motion_n of_o water_n imitate_v the_o motion_n of_o the_o freeze_a body_n and_o those_o part_n of_o

much_o agitate_a among_o the_o learned_a concern_v cold_a to_o wit_n whether_o it_o be_v a_o positive_a quality_n or_o a_o bare_a privation_n of_o heat_n and_o my_o opinion_n be_v that_o cold_a be_v both_o a_o positive_a quality_n and_o a_o privation_n of_o heat_n for_o whatsoever_o be_v a_o true_a quality_n of_o cold_a must_v needs_o be_v a_o privation_n of_o heat_n since_o two_o opposite_n can_v subsist_v together_o in_o one_o and_o the_o same_o part_n at_o one_o point_n of_o time_n by_o privation_n i_o mean_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o alteration_n of_o nature_n action_n in_o her_o several_a part_n or_o which_o be_v all_o one_o a_o change_n of_o natural_a corporeal_a motion_n and_o so_o the_o death_n of_o animal_n may_v be_v call_v a_o privation_n of_o animal_n life_n that_o be_v a_o change_n of_o the_o animal_n motion_n in_o that_o particular_a creature_n which_o make_v animal_n life_n to_o some_o other_o kind_n of_o action_n which_o be_v not_o animal_n life_n and_o in_o this_o sense_n both_o cold_a and_o heat_n although_o they_o be_v positive_a quality_n or_o natural_a being_n yet_o they_o be_v also_o privation_n that_o be_v change_v of_o corporeal_a figurative_a

a_o bare_a privation_n or_o bare_a motion_n in_o nature_n but_o all_o motion_n be_v corporeal_a or_o material_a for_o matter_n motion_n and_o figure_n be_v but_o one_o thing_n which_o be_v the_o

most_o common_o cold_a and_o those_o that_o come_v from_o hot_a region_n be_v for_o the_o most_o part_n hot_a i_o answer_v the_o reason_n be_v that_o those_o wind_n have_v more_o constant_o pattern_v

answer_v this_o be_v no_o more_o to_o be_v wonder_v at_o then_o that_o some_o man_n do_v die_v with_o cold_a for_o cold_a be_v contrary_a to_o fire_n if_o it_o have_v a_o predominate_a power_n it_o will_v without_o doubt_n put_v out_o the_o fire_n not_o that_o the_o cold_a corporeal_a motion_n do_v destroy_v fire_n by_o their_o actual_a power_n over_o it_o but_o that_o fire_n destroy_v itself_o by_o a_o imitation_n of_o the_o motion_n of_o cold_a so_o that_o cold_a be_v only_o a_o occasional_a cause_n of_o the_o fire_n destruction_n or_o at_o least_o of_o the_o alteration_n of_o its_o

when_o i_o speak_v of_o motion_n i_o desire_v to_o be_v understand_v that_o i_o do_v not_o mean_v any_o other_o but_o corporeal_a motion_n for_o there_o be_v no_o other_o motion_n in_o nature_n so_o

object_v that_o if_o the_o inanimate_a part_n of_o matter_n have_v self-knowledg_n and_o sense_n it_o must_v of_o necessity_n have_v life_n also_o to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o the_o inanimate_a

q._n 10._o whether_o there_o can_v be_v self-knowledg_n without_o perception_n i_o answer_v self-knowledg_n be_v the_o ground_n of_o all_o perception_n which_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o exterior_a knowledge_n may_v as_o well_o subsist_v without_o they_o as_o matter_n will_v subsist_v without_o motion_n but_o since_o self-motion_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o all_o the_o various_a change_n of_o

perception_n for_o all_o action_n be_v know_v and_o perceptive_a and_o be_v there_o no_o perception_n there_o can_v not_o possible_o be_v any_o such_o action_n for_o how_o shall_v part_n agree_v either_o in_o the_o generation_n composition_n or_o dissolution_n of_o compose_a figure_n if_o they_o have_v no_o knowledge_n or_o perception_n of_o each_o other_o therefore_o although_o self-knowledg_n be_v a_o fix_v interior_a be_v and_o the_o ground_n of_o all_o perception_n yet_o be_v there_o no_o self-motion_n there_o can_v be_v no_o action_n and_o consequent_o no_o perception_n at_o lest_o no_o variety_n of_o perception_n in_o nature_n but_o since_o nature_n be_v one_o self-moving_a and_o self-knowing_a body_n self-knowledg_n can_v no_o more_o be_v separate_v from_o perception_n than_o motion_n can_v be_v divide_v from_o matter_n but_o every_o part_n and_o particle_n of_o nature_n be_v it_o a_o atom_n as_o it_o be_v self-moving_a so_o it_o be_v also_o self-knowing_a and_o perceptive_a but_o yet_o it_o be_v not_o necessary_a that_o perception_n must_v only_o be_v betwixt_o neighbour_a or_o adjoin_v part_n for_o some_o part_n may_v very_o well_o perceive_v each_o other_o at_o a_o distance_n and_o when_o other_o part_n be_v between_o nay_o some_o perception_n do_v require_v a_o distance_n of_o the_o object_n as_o for_o example_n the_o optic_a

which_o the_o perception_n directy_n tend_v i_o answer_v that_o if_o the_o intermediate_v part_n be_v subject_n to_o that_o kind_n of_o perception_n they_o may_v as_o well_o be_v perceive_v as_o the_o

intermediate_v part_n will_v be_v perceive_v by_o the_o optic_a sense_n also_o if_o i_o cast_v my_o eye_n upon_o a_o object_n that_o be_v before_o i_o in_o a_o direct_a line_n the_o eye_n will_v not_o only_o perceive_v the_o object_n to_o which_o it_o be_v chief_o direct_v but_o also_o those_o part_n that_o be_v join_v to_o it_o either_o beneath_o or_o above_o or_o on_o each_o side_n of_o that_o object_n at_o the_o same_o point_n of_o time_n and_o by_o the_o same_o act_n the_o sole_a difference_n be_v that_o the_o say_a object_n be_v chief_o and_o of_o purpose_n pattern_v out_o by_o the_o

prove_v first_o that_o nature_n be_v compose_v of_o sensitive_a rational_a and_o inanimate_a matter_n without_o any_o separation_n or_o division_n from_o each_o other_o for_o can_v matter_n be_v

which_o mistake_n cause_v many_o confusion_n in_o several_a man_n brain_n and_o their_o write_n but_o it_o may_v be_v they_o will_v account_v it_o paradoxical_a or_o absurd_a that_o i_o say_v infinite_a matter_n consist_v of_o
into_o earth_n and_o of_o this_o again_o into_o vegetable_n mineral_n and_o animal_n prove_v no_o more_o but_o what_o our_o sense_n perceive_v every_o day_n to_o wit_n that_o there_o be_v a_o

for_o if_o one_o part_n of_o matter_n have_v self-motion_n it_o can_v be_v deny_v of_o all_o the_o rest_n but_o if_o immaterial_a it_o must_v either_o be_v god_n himself_o or_o create_v supernatural_a

other_o part_n but_o i_o must_v say_v this_o that_o according_a to_o humane_a sense_n and_o reason_n there_o be_v no_o part_n or_o particle_n in_o nature_n which_o be_v not_o alterable_a by_o reason_n nature_n be_v in_o a_o perpetual_a motion_n and_o full_a of_o variety_n it_o be_v true_a some_o body_n as_o gold_n and_o mercury_n seem_v to_o be_v unalterable_a from_o their_o particular_a nature_n but_o this_o only_o appear_v thus_o to_o our_o sense_n because_o their_o part_n be_v more_o fix_v and_o retentive_a than_o other_o and_o no_o art_n have_v be_v find_v out_o as_o yet_o which_o can_v

into_o so_o fix_v and_o consistent_a a_o body_n but_o all_o that_o be_v mix_v with_o they_o have_v hitherto_o be_v find_v too_o weak_a for_o the_o alteration_n of_o their_o inherent_a motion_n nevertheless_o this_o do_v not_o prove_v that_o they_o be_v not_o altogether_o unalterable_a for_o though_o art_n can_v do_v it_o yet_o nature_n may_v but_o it_o be_v a_o argument_n that_o they_o be_v not_o compose_v of_o stray_a atom_n or_o most_o minute_n particle_n for_o not_o to_o mention_v what_o i_o have_v often_o repeat_v before_o that_o there_o can_v be_v such_o most_o minute_n body_n in_o nature_n by_o reason_n nature_n know_v of_o no_o extreme_n it_o be_v altogether_o improbable_a nay_o impossible_a that_o wander_a corpuscle_n shall_v be_v the_o cause_n of_o such_o fix_a effect_n and_o by_o their_o association_n constitute_v such_o indissoluble_a mass_n or_o cluster_n as_o some_o do_v conceive_v which_o they_o call_v primary_n concretion_n for_o there_o be_v no_o such_o thing_n as_o a_o primary_n concretion_n or_o composition_n in_o nature_n only_o there_o be_v several_a sort_n and_o degree_n of_o motion_n and_o several_a sort_n of_o composition_n and_o as_o no_o particular_a creature_n can_v know_v the_o strength_n of_o motion_n so_o neither_o can_v it_o know_v the_o degree_n of_o strength_n in_o particular_a natural_a body_n wherefore_o although_o composition_n and_o division_n of_o part_n be_v general_a motion_n and_o some_o figure_n may_v be_v more_o compose_v than_o other_o that_o be_v consist_v of_o more_o or_o few_o part_n than_o other_o yet_o there_o be_v none_o that_o have_v not_o a_o composition_n of_o part_n the_o truth_n be_v there_o be_v nothing_o prime_a or_o principal_n among_o the_o effect_n of_o nature_n but_o only_o the_o

can_v apprehend_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v admire_v that_o camphor_n and_o the_o like_a body_n do_v yield_v differ_v effect_n according_a to_o the_o different_a occasion_n that_o make_v they_o move_v thus_o or_o thus_o for_o though_o change_v and_o alteration_n of_o particular_n may_v be_v occasion_v by_o other_o yet_o they_o move_v by_o their_o own_o corporeal_a figurative_a motion_n as_o it_o be_v evident_a by_o the_o power_n of_o fire_n which_o make_v other_o body_n move_v or_o change_v their_o part_n and_o figure_n not_o by_o its_o own_o transform_a motion_n but_o only_o by_o give_v a_o occasion_n to_o the_o inherent_a figurative_a motion_n of_o those_o body_n which_o by_o imitate_v the_o motion_n of_o fire_n change_v into_o such_o or_o such_o figure_n by_o their_o own_o proper_a innate_a and_o inherent_a motion_n otherwise_o if_o the_o alteration_n of_o combustible_a body_n proceed_v from_o fire_n they_o will_v all_o have_v the_o like_a motion_n which_o be_v contradict_v by_o experience_n i_o will_v not_o deny_v but_o there_o be_v as_o much_o variety_n in_o occasion_v as_o there_o be_v in_o act_v for_o the_o imitation_n be_v according_a to_o the_o

the_o learned_a make_v between_o patient_n and_o agent_n when_o they_o call_v the_o exterior_a occasional_a cause_n as_o for_o example_n fire_n the_o agent_n and_o the_o combustible_a body_n the_o patient_n for_o they_o conceive_v that_o a_o body_n throw_v into_o fire_n act_n nothing_o at_o all_o but_o only_o in_o a_o passive_a way_n suffer_v the_o fire_n to_o act_v upon_o it_o according_a to_o the_o degree_n of_o its_o own_o to_o wit_n the_o fire_n strength_n which_o sense_n and_o reason_n perceive_v otherwise_o for_o to_o pass_v by_o what_o i_o mention_v before_o that_o those_o body_n on_o which_o they_o suppose_v fire_n do_v work_v change_v according_a not_o to_o the_o fire_n but_o their_o own_o inherent_a figurative_a motion_n it_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o if_o nature_n and_o all_o her_o part_n be_v self-moving_a which_o regular_a reason_n can_v deny_v and_o if_o self-motion_n be_v corporeal_a than_o every_o part_n of_o nature_n must_v of_o necessity_n move_v by_o its_o own_o motion_n for_o no_o body_n can_v impart_v motion_n to_o another_o body_n without_o impart_v substance_n also_o and_o though_o particular_a motion_n in_o particular_a body_n may_v change_v infinite_a way_n yet_o they_o can_v quit_v those_o body_n so_o as_o to_o leave_v they_o void_a and_o destitute_a of_o all_o motion_n because_o matter_n and_o motion_n be_v but_o one_o thing_n and_o therefore_o though_o fire_n be_v commix_v with_o the_o part_n of_o the_o fuel_n yet_o
vegetable_n and_o the_o fire_n and_o in_o the_o power_n of_o their_o corporeal_a figurative_a motion_n as_o any_o other_o figure_n whatsoever_o otherwise_o it_o will_v never_o have_v be_v produce_v nay_o not_o only_a glass_n but_o million_o of_o other_o figure_n may_v be_v obtain_v from_o those_o part_n they_o be_v subject_a to_o infinite_a change_n for_o the_o action_n of_o self-moving_a

can_v say_v that_o those_o figure_n be_v not_o in_o nature_n or_o in_o the_o power_n of_o corporeal_a figurative_a self-motion_n we_o may_v say_v as_o well_o that_o a_o man_n can_v go_v when_o he_o

for_o we_o see_v that_o some_o animal_n be_v produce_v out_o of_o vegetable_n who_o offspring_n be_v not_o any_o way_n like_o their_o producer_n which_o prove_v that_o not_o all_o action_n of_o

absence_n of_o light_n i_o think_v it_o to_o be_v no_o more_o probable_a than_o that_o light_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o our_o sight_n for_o if_o the_o blackness_n of_o a_o charcoal_n do_v proceed_v from_o the_o absence_n of_o light_n in_o its_o pore_n than_o a_o black_a horse_n will_v have_v more_o or_o deep_a pore_n than_o a_o white_a one_o or_o a_o sorrel_n or_o any_o other_o colour_a horse_n

can_v any_o body_n believe_v that_o the_o reflection_n of_o light_n on_o a_o decay_a lady_n face_n shall_v be_v the_o cause_n that_o her_o complexion_n be_v alter_v from_o what_o it_o be_v when_o

if_o this_o be_v so_o than_o the_o enter_v of_o light_n into_o the_o pore_n of_o the_o eye_n will_v make_v it_o perceive_v all_o thing_n of_o as_o many_o colour_n as_o a_o rainbow_n have_v beside_o if_o several_a eye_n shall_v have_v several_a shape_a pore_n none_o will_v agree_v in_o the_o perception_n of_o the_o colour_n of_o a_o exterior_a object_n or_o else_o it_o will_v so_o dazzle_v the_o

the_o exterior_a light_n make_v no_o reflection_n upon_o they_o true_o in_o my_o judgement_n those_o opinion_n that_o no_o part_n have_v colour_n but_o those_o which_o the_o light_n reflect_v on_o be_v neither_o probable_a to_o sense_n nor_o reason_n for_o how_o can_v we_o conceive_v any_o corporeal_a part_n without_o a_o colour_n in_o my_o opinion_n it_o be_v as_o impossible_a to_o imagine_v a_o body_n without_o colour_n as_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o the_o mind_n to_o conceive_v a_o natural_a immaterial_a substance_n and_o if_o so_o pure_a a_o body_n as_o the_o mind_n can_v be_v

be_v of_o the_o exterior_a object_n and_o the_o sentient_a or_o else_o the_o perception_n of_o all_o exterior_a object_n will_v be_v make_v by_o such_o a_o intermixture_n which_o be_v against_o

be_v so_o much_o for_o expansion_n confess_v themselves_o that_o water_n be_v thick_a and_o heavy_a in_o winter_n then_o in_o summer_n and_o that_o ship_n draw_v less_o water_n and_o that_o the_o
