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

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

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

to_o prove_v that_o there_o be_v any_o four_o kind_n of_o be_v distinct_a from_o the_o other_o three_o yea_o a_o four_o kind_n of_o be_v seem_v whole_o superfluous_a and_o because_o all_o the_o phaenomena_n in_o the_o whole_a universe_n may_v be_v sufficient_o resolve_v into_o these_o three_o beforementioned_a as_o into_o their_o proper_a and_o original_a cause_n there_o be_v no_o

it_o be_v very_o consentaneous_a to_o sound_v reason_n and_o so_o also_o to_o the_o order_n of_o thing_n that_o as_o god_n be_v but_o one_o neither_o have_v he_o two_o three_o or_o more_o distinct_a
