that_o the_o part_n of_o nature_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o the_o particular_a change_n of_o particular_a figure_n make_v by_o self-motion_n 5._o as_o there_o can_v be_v no_o annihilation_n so_o

as_o infinite_a nature_n have_v a_o infinite_a self-motion_n and_o self-knowledg_n so_o every_o
part_n and_o particle_n have_v a_o particular_a and_o finite_a self-motion_n and_o self-knowledg_n by_o which_o it_o know_v itself_o and_o its_o own_o action_n and_o perceive_v also_o other_o part_n

thus_o perception_n or_o a_o perceptive_a knowledge_n belong_v proper_o to_o part_n and_o may_v also_o be_v call_v a_o exterior_a knowledge_n by_o reason_n it_o extend_v to_o exterior_a object_n 11._o

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 figure_n and_o part_n and_o of_o all_o the_o orderly_a production_n generation_n transformation_n dissolution_n and_o all_o other_o action_n of_o nature_n these_o can_v be_v perform_v without_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 perception_n in_o animal_n as_o i_o have_v declare_v before_o 63._o where_o i_o do_v mention_v the_o requisite_n of_o the_o animal_n perception_n of_o sight_n whereof_o if_o one_o be_v want_v there_o be_v either_o no_o perception_n at_o all_o i_o mean_v no_o perception_n of_o see_v in_o that_o animal_n or_o the_o perception_n be_v imperfect_a but_o some_o may_v ask_v whether_o in_o such_o a_o case_n that_o be_v in_o the_o perception_n of_o a_o object_n which_o be_v distant_a from_o the_o sentient_a the_o intermediate_v part_n be_v as_o well_o perceive_v as_o the_o object_n itself_o to_o 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 object_n that_o be_v distant_a nay_o sometime_o better_o but_o most_o common_o the_o intermediate_v part_n be_v but_o slight_o or_o superficial_o perceive_v for_o example_n in_o the_o forementioned_a sense_n of_o see_v if_o the_o organ_n of_o sight_n be_v direct_v to_o some_o certain_a object_n that_o be_v distant_a and_o there_o be_v some_o part_n between_o the_o organ_n and_o the_o object_n perceptible_a by_o the_o same_o sense_n but_o such_o as_o do_v not_o hinder_v or_o obstruct_v the_o perception_n of_o the_o say_a object_n not_o only_o the_o object_n but_o also_o those_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 sensitive_a and_o rational_a figurative_a motion_n of_o the_o eye_n when_o as_o the_o other_o intermediate_v or_o adjoin_v part_n be_v but_o superficial_o and_o slght_o look_v over_o and_o this_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 divide_v into_o a_o atom_n that_o very_a atom_n will_v have_v a_o composition_n of_o these_o three_o degree_n of_o matter_n and_o therefore_o although_o the_o part_n of_o nature_n do_v undergo_v infinite_a division_n and_o composition_n so_o that_o part_n may_v be_v compose_v and_o divide_v infinite_a way_n yet_o these_o three_o degree_n can_v never_o be_v separate_v or_o divide_v from_o one_o another_o because_o of_o their_o close_a union_n and_o commixture_n through_o infinite_a nature_n next_o it_o prove_v that_o there_o can_v be_v no_o single_a part_n in_o nature_n for_o what_o common_o be_v call_v part_n of_o nature_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o change_n of_o motion_n in_o the_o infinite_a body_n of_o nature_n so_o that_o part_n figure_n action_n and_o change_n of_o motion_n be_v one_o and_o the_o same_o no_o more_o differ_v from_o each_o other_o than_o body_n place_n magnitude_n figure_n colour_n etc._n etc._n for_o self-motion_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o

yet_o
of_o variety_n than_o man_n of_o argument_n which_o variety_n be_v the_o cause_n there_o be_v so_o many_o extravagant_a and_o irregular_a opinion_n in_o the_o world_n and_o i_o observe_v that_o most_o of_o the_o great_a and_o famous_a especial_o our_o modern_a author_n endeavour_v to_o deduce_v the_o knowledge_n of_o cause_n from_o their_o effect_n and_o not_o effect_n from_o their_o cause_n and_o think_v to_o find_v out_o nature_n by_o art_n not_o art_n by_o nature_n whereas_o in_o my_o opinion_n reason_n must_v first_o consider_v the_o cause_n and_o then_o sense_n may_v better_o perceive_v the_o effect_n reason_n must_v judge_n sense_n execute_v for_o reason_n be_v the_o prime_a part_n of_o nature_n as_o be_v the_o corporeal_a soul_n or_o mind_n of_o nature_n but_o some_o be_v so_o much_o in_o love_n with_o art_n as_o they_o endeavour_v to_o prove_v not_o only_a nature_n but_o also_o divinity_n which_o be_v the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n by_o art_n thus_o prefer_v art_n before_o nature_n when_o as_o art_n be_v but_o nature_n foolish_a changeling_n child_n and_o the_o reason_n be_v that_o some_o part_n of_o nature_n as_o some_o man_n not_o know_v all_o other_o part_n believe_v there_o be_v no_o reason_n and_o but_o little_a sense_n in_o any_o part_n of_o nature_n but_o themselves_o nay_o that_o it_o be_v irreligious_a to_o say_v that_o there_o be_v not_o consider_v that_o

animal_n spirit_n which_o they_o call_v the_o pure_a and_o most_o aethereal_a particle_n of_o all_o body_n in_o the_o world_n whatsoever_o and_o the_o very_a top_n and_o perfection_n of_o all_o nature_n operation_n for_o animal_n spirit_n in_o my_o opinion_n be_v no_o more_o than_o other_o effect_n of_o nature_n only_o they_o be_v not_o so_o gross_a as_o some_o but_o be_v part_n of_o a_o most_o pure_a refine_a and_o rare_a sort_n of_o inanimate_a matter_n which_o be_v intermix_v with_o the_o part_n of_o animate_v matter_n and_o enliven_v by_o they_o become_v very_o subtle_a and_o

perception_n of_o humane_a sense_n for_o example_n as_o the_o matter_n of_o respiration_n or_o the_o like_a for_o as_o there_o be_v infinite_a part_n of_o inanimate_a matter_n so_o there_o be_v also_o infinite_a degree_n of_o strength_n weakness_n purity_n impurity_n hardness_n softness_n density_n rarity_n swiftness_n slowness_n knowledge_n ignorance_n etc._n etc._n as_o also_o several_a sort_n

the_o infinite_a body_n of_o nature_n yet_o proper_o they_o belong_v to_o particular_a creature_n and_o have_v only_o a_o regard_n to_o the_o several_a part_n of_o nature_n which_o be_v infinite_a in_o number_n be_v also_o of_o infinite_a degree_n according_a to_o the_o infinite_a change_n of_o self-motion_n and_o the_o propriety_n and_o nature_n of_o each_o figure_n wherefore_o that_o opinion_n which_o make_v animal_n spirit_n the_o prime_a or_o principal_a motion_n of_o all_o thing_n and_o the_o chief_a agent_n in_o nature_n three_o kingdom_n mineral_n animal_n and_o vegetable_a reduce_v infinite_a nature_n to_o a_o finite_a principle_n whereas_o any_o one_o that_o enjoy_v but_o so_o much_o of_o humane_a sense_n and_o reason_n as_o to_o have_v the_o least_o perception_n or_o

that_o they_o who_o believe_v any_o finite_a part_n to_o be_v the_o cause_n and_o principle_n of_o infinite_a self-moving_a nature_n do_v in_o my_o opinion_n not_o only_a sin_n against_o nature_n but_o against_o god_n the_o author_n of_o nature_n who_o out_o of_o his_o infinite_a bounty_n give_v nature_n the_o power_n of_o self-motion_n but_o if_o any_o one_o desire_n to_o know_v what_o then_o the_o true_a cause_n and_o principle_n of_o all_o nature_n creature_n and_o figure_n be_v i_o answer_v in_o my_o opinion_n it_o be_v not_o a_o spirit_n or_o immaterial_a substance_n but_o matter_n but_o yet_o not_o the_o inanimate_a part_n of_o matter_n but_o the_o animate_v which_o be_v of_o two_o degree_n rational_a and_o sensitive_a both_o of_o they_o be_v the_o infinite_a life_n and_o soul_n of_o the_o infinite_a body_n of_o nature_n and_o this_o animate_v matter_n be_v also_o the_o cause_n of_o all_o infinite_a work_n change_n figure_n and_o part_n of_o nature_n as_o i_o have_v declare_v above_o more_o at_o large_a now_o as_o great_a a_o difference_n as_o there_o be_v between_o animate_v and_o inanimate_a body_n and_o soul_n part_n and_o whole_a finite_a and_o infinite_a so_o great_a a_o difference_n there_o be_v also_o between_o the_o animal_n spirit_n and_o the_o prime_a agent_n or_o movent_fw-la of_o nature_n which_o be_v animate_v matter_n or_o which_o be_v all_o one_o thing_n corporeal_a self-motion_n and_o as_o it_o will_v be_v paradoxical_a to_o make_v inanimate_a matter_n to_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o animate_v or_o a_o part_n to_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o whole_a who_o part_n it_o be_v or_o a_o finite_a to_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o infinite_a so_o paradoxical_a will_v it_o also_o be_v to_o make_v animal_n spirit_n the_o top_n and_o perfection_n of_o all_o nature_n operation_n nay_o so_o far_o be_v they_o from_o be_v the_o prime_n movent_fw-la of_o other_o body_n as_o they_o be_v but_o move_v themselves_o for_o to_o repeat_v what_o i_o mention_v in_o the_o beginning_n animal_n spirit_n be_v only_o some_o sort_n of_o rare_a and_o pure_a inanimate_a matter_n which_o be_v thorough_o intermix_v with_o the_o animate_v part_n of_o matter_n be_v more_o active_a than_o some_o sort_n of_o more_o dense_a and_o grosser_n part_n of_o inanimate_a matter_n i_o say_v some_o for_o i_o do_v believe_v that_o some_o of_o the_o most_o 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 part_n be_v more_o active_a then_o fix_v and_o solid_a or_o that_o fix_a and_o solid_a be_v less_o active_a than_o fluid_a body_n because_o all_o part_n be_v self-moving_a but_o if_o i_o be_v to_o

it_o be_v true_a god_n be_v the_o first_o author_n of_o motion_n as_o well_o as_o he_o be_v of_o nature_n but_o i_o can_v believe_v that_o god_n shall_v be_v the_o prime_n actual_a movent_fw-la of_o

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

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

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

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
seasonable_o apply_v can_v work_v good_a effect_n so_o they_o may_v also_o produce_v ill_a effect_n if_o they_o be_v use_v improper_o and_o unreasonable_o and_o therefore_o wise_a physician_n and_o

when_o as_o yet_o we_o observe_v that_o the_o plague_n will_v often_o be_v but_o in_o one_o town_n or_o city_n of_o a_o kingdom_n without_o spread_v any_o further_o neither_o do_v i_o believe_v as_o

the_o plague_n but_o since_o it_o be_v often_o observe_v that_o all_o body_n be_v not_o infect_v even_o in_o a_o great_a plague_n it_o prove_v that_o the_o infection_n be_v make_v by_o imitation_n and_o as_o one_o and_o the_o same_o agent_n can_v occasion_v the_o like_a effect_n in_o every_o patient_n as_o for_o example_n fire_n in_o several_a sort_n of_o fuel_n nay_o in_o one_o and_o the_o

also_o the_o grain_n or_o line_n of_o a_o man_n skin_n may_v be_v different_a like_a as_o several_a figure_n of_o wrought_a silk_n or_o stuff_n sell_v in_o mercer_n shop_n which_o if_o they_o do_v
