part_n of_o one_o compose_a creature_n and_o the_o rational_a part_n be_v most_o subtle_a active_a and_o free_a have_v a_o more_o general_a acquaintance_n than_o the_o sensitive_a beside_o the_o

self-knowing_a and_o yet_o not_o self-moving_a for_o life_n and_o knowledge_n can_v be_v without_o self-motion_n and_o therefore_o if_o the_o inanimate_a part_n have_v life_n and_o knowledge_n they_o must_v necessary_o also_o have_v self-motion_n the_o former_a answer_v that_o life_n and_o knowledge_n do_v no_o way_n depend_v upon_o self-motion_n for_o have_v nature_n no_o motion_n at_o all_o yet_o may_v she_o have_v life_n and_o knowledge_n so_o that_o self-motion_n be_v not_o the_o cause_n of_o life_n and_o knowledge_n but_o only_o of_o perception_n and_o all_o the_o various_a action_n of_o nature_n and_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n say_v they_o that_o the_o inanimate_a part_n of_o matter_n be_v not_o perceptive_a because_o it_o be_v not_o self-moving_a for_o though_o it_o have_v life_n and_o self-knowledg_n as_o well_o as_o the_o animate_v part_n yet_o it_o have_v not_o a_o active_a life_n nor_o a_o perceptive_a knowledge_n by_o which_o you_o may_v see_v that_o a_o fix_v and_o interior_a self-knowledg_n may_v very_o well_o be_v without_o exterior_a perception_n for_o though_o perception_n presuppose_v a_o innate_a self-knowledg_n as_o its_o ground_n and_o principle_n yet_o self-knowledg_n do_v not_o necessary_o require_v perception_n which_o be_v only_o cause_v by_o self-motion_n for_o self-motion_n as_o it_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o variety_n of_o nature_n part_n and_o action_n so_o it_o be_v also_o of_o their_o various_a perception_n if_o it_o be_v not_o too_o great_a a_o presumption_n say_v they_o we_o can_v give_v a_o instance_n of_o god_n who_o have_v no_o local_a self-motion_n and_o yet_o be_v infinite_o know_v but_o we_o will_v forbear_v to_o go_v so_o high_a as_o to_o draw_v the_o infinite_a incomprehensible_a god_n to_o the_o proof_n of_o material_a nature_n my_o late_a thought_n reply_v first_o that_o if_o it_o be_v thus_o then_o one_o and_o the_o same_o part_n of_o matter_n will_v have_v a_o double_a life_n and_o a_o double_a knowledge_n next_o they_o say_v that_o if_o perception_n be_v a_o effect_n of_o self-motion_n than_o god_n himself_o must_v necessary_o be_v self-moving_a or_o else_o he_o can_v not_o perceive_v nature_n and_o her_o part_n and_o action_n concern_v the_o first_o objection_n my_o former_a thought_n answer_v that_o the_o part_n of_o nature_n can_v have_v a_o double_a life_n and_o knowledge_n no_o more_o than_o one_o man_n can_v be_v call_v double_a or_o treble_a you_o may_v as_o well_o say_v they_o make_v million_o of_o man_n of_o one_o particular_a man_n nay_o call_v every_o part_n or_o action_n of_o his_o a_o peculiliar_a man_n as_o make_v one_o and_o the_o same_o part_n of_o matter_n have_v a_o double_a life_n and_o knowledge_n but_o mistake_v we_o not_o add_v my_o former_a thought_n when_o we_o say_v that_o one_o and_o the_o same_o part_n can_v have_v a_o double_a life_n and_o knowledge_n for_o we_o mean_v not_o the_o compose_a creature_n of_o nature_n which_o as_o they_o consist_v of_o several_a degree_n of_o matter_n so_o they_o have_v also_o several_a degree_n of_o life_n and_o knowledge_n but_o it_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v of_o the_o essential_a or_o constitutive_a part_n of_o nature_n for_o as_o the_o rational_a part_n be_v not_o nor_o can_v be_v the_o sensitive_a part_n so_o it_o can_v neither_o have_v a_o sensitive_a knowledge_n no_o more_o can_v a_o sensitive_a part_n have_v a_o rational_a knowledge_n or_o either_o of_o these_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o inanimate_a part_n but_o each_o part_n retain_v its_o own_o life_n and_o knowledge_n indeed_o it_o be_v with_o these_o part_n as_o it_o be_v with_o particular_a creature_n for_o as_o one_o man_n be_v not_o another_o man_n nor_o have_v another_o man_n knowledge_n so_o it_o be_v likewise_o with_o the_o mention_a part_n of_o matter_n and_o although_o the_o animate_v part_n have_v a_o interior_a innate_a self-knowledg_n and_o a_o exterior_a perceptive_a knowledge_n yet_o these_o be_v not_o double_a knowledge_n but_o perception_n be_v only_o a_o effect_n of_o interior_a self-knowledg_n occasion_v by_o self-motion_n and_o as_o for_o the_o second_o they_o answer_v that_o the_o divine_a perception_n and_o knowledge_n be_v not_o any_o way_n like_o a_o natural_a perception_n no_o more_o than_o god_n be_v like_o a_o creature_n for_o nature_n say_v they_o be_v material_a and_o her_o perception_n be_v among_o her_o infinite_a part_n cause_v by_o their_o composition_n and_o division_n but_o god_n be_v a_o supernatural_a individable_a and_o incorporeal_a be_v void_a of_o all_o part_n and_o division_n and_o therefore_o he_o can_v be_v ignorant_a of_o any_o the_o least_o thing_n but_o be_v infinite_a he_o have_v a_o infinite_a knowledge_n without_o any_o degree_n division_n or_o the_o like_a action_n belong_v to_o material_a creature_n nor_o be_v he_o natural_o that_o be_v local_o self-moving_a but_o he_o be_v a_o fix_v unalterable_a and_o in_o short_a a_o incomprehensible_a be_v and_o therefore_o no_o comparison_n can_v be_v make_v between_o he_o and_o nature_n he_o be_v the_o eternal_a god_n and_o nature_n his_o eternal_a servant_n then_o my_o late_a thought_n say_v that_o as_o for_o the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n they_o will_v not_o dispute_v of_o it_o but_o if_o there_o be_v a_o fix_v and_o interior_a innate_a knowledge_n in_o all_o nature_n part_n and_o creature_n it_o be_v impossible_a that_o there_o can_v be_v any_o error_n or_o ignorance_n between_o they_o the_o former_a answer_v that_o although_o error_n belong_v to_o particular_n as_o well_o as_o ignorance_n yet_o they_o proceed_v not_o from_o interior_a self-knowledg_n but_o either_o from_o want_n of_o exterior_a particular_a knowledge_n or_o from_o the_o irregularity_n of_o motion_n and_o ignorance_n be_v likewise_o a_o want_n not_o of_o interior_a but_o exterior_a knowledge_n otherwise_o call_v perceptive_a knowledge_n for_o say_v they_o part_n can_v know_v no_o more_o of_o other_o part_n but_o by_o their_o own_o perception_n and_o since_o no_o particular_a creature_n or_o part_n of_o nature_n can_v have_v a_o infallible_a universal_a and_o through_o perception_n of_o all_o other_o part_n it_o can_v neither_o have_v a_o infallible_a and_o universal_a knowledge_n but_o it_o must_v content_v itself_o with_o such_o a_o knowledge_n as_o be_v within_o the_o reach_n of_o its_o own_o perception_n and_o hence_o it_o follow_v that_o it_o must_v be_v ignorant_a of_o what_o it_o do_v not_o know_v for_o perception_n have_v but_o only_o a_o respect_n to_o the_o exterior_a figure_n and_o action_n of_o other_o part_n and_o though_o the_o rational_a part_n be_v more_o subtle_a and_o active_a than_o the_o sensitive_a and_o may_v have_v also_o some_o perception_n of_o some_o interior_a part_n and_o action_n of_o other_o creature_n yet_o it_o can_v have_v a_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 and_o action_n which_o latter_a be_v proper_o call_v perception_n not_o as_o if_o there_o be_v two_o different_a principle_n of_o knowledge_n in_o every_o particular_a creature_n or_o part_n of_o nature_n but_o they_o be_v two_o different_a act_n of_o one_o and_o the_o same_o interior_a and_o inherent_a self-knowledg_n which_o be_v a_o part_n of_o nature_n infinite_a self-knowledg_n 10._o 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 though_o self-knowledg_n be_v the_o ground_n and_o principle_n of_o all_o particular_a knowledge_n and_o perception_n yet_o self-motion_n since_o it_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o all_o the_o variety_n of_o natural_a figure_n and_o of_o the_o various_a composition_n and_o division_n of_o part_n it_o be_v also_o the_o cause_n of_o all_o perception_n 12._o as_o there_o be_v a_o double_a degree_n of_o corporeal_a self-motion_n viz._n rational_a and_o sensitive_a so_o there_o be_v also_o a_o double_a degree_n of_o perception_n rational_a and_o sensitive_a 13._o a_o whole_a may_v know_v its_o part_n and_o a_o infinite_a a_o finite_a but_o no_o particular_a part_n can_v know_v its_o whole_a nor_o one_o finite_a part_n that_o which_o be_v infinite_a i_o say_v no_o particular_a part_n for_o when_o part_n be_v regular_o compose_v they_o may_v by_o a_o general_a conjunction_n or_o union_n of_o their_o particular_a knowledge_n and_o perception_n know_v more_o and_o so_o judge_v more_o probable_o of_o the_o whole_a or_o of_o infinite_a and_o although_o by_o the_o division_n of_o part_n those_o compose_a knowledge_n and_o perception_n may_v be_v break_v asunder_o like_o a_o ruin_a house_n or_o

as_o they_o be_v no_o more_o but_o particular_a action_n so_o they_o have_v but_o particular_a perception_n and_o although_o all_o motion_n be_v sensible_a yet_o no_o part_n be_v sensible_a but_o by_o

of_o nature_n vary_v so_o do_v the_o perception_n therefore_o it_o be_v absurd_a to_o confine_v all_o perception_n of_o nature_n either_o to_o pressure_n and_o reaction_n or_o to_o the_o animal_n kind_a of_o perception_n since_o even_o in_o one_o and_o the_o same_o animal_n sense_n as_o for_o example_n of_o see_v there_o be_v numerous_a perception_n for_o every_o motion_n of_o the_o eye_n be_v

pore_n of_o the_o flesh_n through_o which_o they_o must_v enter_v i_o can_v ready_o believe_v it_o nay_o the_o motion_n and_o print_n will_v grow_v so_o weak_a and_o faint_a in_o their_o journey_n

be_v infinite_a in_o themselves_o for_o although_o a_o whole_a may_v know_v its_o part_n yet_o the_o part_n can_v possible_o know_v the_o whole_a because_o a_o infinite_a may_v know_v a_o finite_a

for_o self-knowledg_n or_o matter_n without_o self-motion_n can_v never_o make_v any_o variety_n in_o nature_n and_o therefore_o although_o self-motion_n cause_v a_o obscurity_n by_o the_o division_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

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 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

yet_o
perceptive_a after_o their_o way_n as_o those_o that_o work_n to_o the_o act_n of_o perception_n proper_o so_o call_v that_o be_v to_o the_o act_n of_o see_v make_v by_o pattern_v or_o imitation_n but_o it_o be_v well_o to_o be_v observe_v that_o although_o the_o eye_n have_v the_o quick_a action_n in_o the_o perception_n of_o see_v yet_o be_v this_o action_n most_o visible_a not_o only_o by_o its_o motion_n but_o by_o the_o figure_n of_o the_o object_n that_o be_v represent_v in_o the_o eye_n for_o if_o you_o look_v into_o another_o eye_n you_o will_v plain_o perceive_v therein_o the_o picture_n of_o your_o own_o figure_n and_o have_v other_o object_n but_o such_o a_o optic_a perception_n as_o animal_n they_o will_v without_o question_n observe_v the_o same_o some_o will_v say_v those_o figure_n in_o the_o eye_n be_v make_v by_o reflection_n but_o reflection_n can_v make_v such_o constant_a and_o exact_a pattern_n or_o imitation_n other_o believe_v it_o proceed_v from_o

wherefore_o my_o opinion_n be_v that_o the_o most_o rare_a and_o subtle_a part_n in_o the_o animal_n sensitive_a organ_n do_v pattern_n out_o the_o figure_n of_o exterior_a object_n and_o that_o the_o

how_o the_o bare_a pattern_v out_o of_o the_o exterior_a figure_n of_o a_o object_n can_v give_v we_o a_o information_n of_o its_o interior_n nature_n my_o answer_n be_v that_o although_o our_o

perception_n by_o reason_n it_o be_v more_o free_a than_o the_o sensitive_a do_v not_o rest_n in_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o exterior_a figure_n of_o a_o object_n but_o by_o its_o exterior_a

although_o the_o interior_a and_o exterior_a action_n of_o a_o compose_a figure_n be_v different_a yet_o the_o exterior_a may_v partly_o give_v a_o hint_n or_o information_n of_o the_o interior_a i_o

of_o these_o creature_n be_v not_o subject_a to_o the_o perception_n of_o our_o exterior_a sense_n can_v exact_o be_v know_v nevertheless_o although_o our_o exterior_a sense_n have_v no_o perception_n thereof_o yet_o their_o own_o part_n which_o be_v concern_v in_o it_o as_o also_o their_o adjoin_v or_o neighbour_a part_n may_v for_o example_n a_o man_n know_v he_o have_v a_o digestion_n in_o his_o

weak_a capacity_n for_o though_o a_o painter_n must_v see_v or_o know_v first_o what_o he_o intend_v to_o draw_v or_o copy_n out_o yet_o the_o natural_a perception_n of_o exterior_a object_n be_v

of_o a_o tree_n a_o natural_a tree_n for_o if_o it_o be_v so_o painter_n will_v do_v more_o than_o chemist_n by_o fire_n and_o furnace_n but_o by_o reason_n there_o be_v a_o very_a close_a

sensible_a of_o it_o 3._o it_o may_v be_v object_v that_o if_o the_o rational_a perceptive_a motion_n take_v pattern_n from_o the_o sensitive_a than_o reason_n can_v never_o judge_v of_o thing_n as_o natural_o they_o be_v but_o only_o of_o their_o copy_n as_o they_o be_v pattern_v out_o by_o the_o sensitive_a motion_n i_o answer_v first_o that_o reason_n be_v not_o so_o necessitate_v as_o to_o have_v no_o other_o perception_n then_o what_o sense_n present_v for_o reason_n be_v the_o instructor_n and_o informer_n of_o sense_n as_o a_o architect_n or_o surveigh_o be_v in_o the_o extruction_n

the_o original_n for_o sure_o the_o rational_a part_n of_o matter_n be_v intermix_v with_o the_o sensitive_a must_v perceive_v as_o well_o the_o original_n as_o sense_n do_v for_o it_o be_v not_o so_o involve_v within_o the_o sensitive_a that_o it_o can_v peep_v out_o as_o a_o jack-in-a-box_n but_o both_o be_v close_o intermix_v one_o make_v perception_n as_o well_o as_o the_o other_o as_o be_v both_o perceptive_a and_o by_o reason_n the_o rational_a part_n make_v the_o same_o perception_n as_o the_o sensitive_a do_v it_o seem_v as_o if_o the_o rational_a do_v take_v copy_n from_o the_o sensitive_a which_o although_o it_o do_v yet_o this_o do_v not_o hinder_v it_o from_o make_v a_o perception_n also_o of_o the_o original_n but_o then_o some_o may_v say_v if_o the_o rational_a part_n have_v liberty_n to_o move_v as_o it_o will_v than_o it_o may_v perceive_v without_o sense_n that_o be_v reason_n may_v make_v perception_n of_o outward_a object_n in_o the_o organ_n of_o the_o

the_o only_a difference_n be_v that_o as_o i_o say_v every_o eye_n be_v ignorant_a of_o each_o other_o perception_n but_o you_o will_v say_v there_o be_v so_o many_o copy_n make_v as_o there_o be_v

the_o perception_n be_v but_o one_o and_o the_o same_o for_o put_v the_o case_n there_o be_v a_o hundred_o thousand_o copy_n of_o one_o original_a if_o they_o be_v all_o alike_o each_o other_o so_o as_o not_o to_o have_v the_o least_o difference_n betwixt_o they_o then_o they_o be_v all_o but_o as_o one_o picture_n of_o one_o original_a but_o if_o they_o be_v not_o alike_o each_o other_o than_o they_o be_v different_a picture_n because_o they_o represent_v different_a face_n and_o thus_o for_o a_o match_v pair_n of_o eye_n in_o one_o creature_n if_o they_o move_v at_o the_o same_o point_n of_o time_n direct_o to_o one_o and_o the_o same_o part_n in_o the_o same_o design_n of_o pattern_v out_o one_o and_o the_o same_o object_n it_o seem_v but_o as_o one_o act_n of_o one_o part_n and_o

one_o compose_v figure_n as_o for_o example_n in_o the_o finger_n of_o a_o man_n hand_n they_o be_v ignorant_a of_o each_o other_o when_o as_o other_o part_n do_v make_v perception_n of_o one_o another_o at_o a_o great_a distance_n and_o when_o other_o part_n be_v between_o i_o answer_v this_o question_n be_v easy_o resolve_v if_o we_o do_v but_o consider_v that_o the_o differerence_n of_o perception_n depend_v upon_o the_o difference_n of_o the_o corporeal_a figurative_a motion_n for_o if_o the_o part_n be_v not_o the_o same_o the_o perception_n must_v needs_o be_v different_a nay_o there_o may_v infinite_a several_a perception_n be_v make_v by_o one_o and_o the_o same_o part_n if_o matter_n be_v eternal_a and_o perpetual_o move_v and_o hence_o it_o follow_v that_o some_o part_n may_v make_v perception_n of_o distant_a part_n and_o not_o of_o neighbour_a part_n and_o other_o again_o may_v make_v perception_n of_o neighbour_a or_o adjoin_v part_n and_o not_o of_o those_o that_o be_v distant_a as_o for_o example_n in_o the_o animal_n perception_n taste_n and_o touch_n be_v only_a perception_n of_o adjoin_a object_n when_o as_o sight_n and_o hear_n do_v perceive_v at_o a_o distance_n for_o if_o a_o object_n be_v immediate_o join_v to_o the_o optic_a sense_n it_o quite_o blind_v it_o wherefore_o it_o be_v well_o to_o be_v observe_v that_o there_o be_v several_a

each_o several_a particular_a kind_n of_o animal_n vegetable_n mineral_n etc._n etc._n again_o these_o particular_a kind_n be_v divide_v into_o several_a sort_n and_o each_o of_o they_o contain_v so_o many_o particular_n nay_o each_o particular_a have_v so_o many_o different_a part_n of_o which_o it_o consist_v and_o each_o part_n have_v its_o different_a particular_a motion_n the_o same_o may_v be_v say_v of_o perception_n for_o as_o the_o several_a composition_n of_o several_a part_n be_v so_o be_v they_o not_o that_o the_o bare_a composition_n of_o the_o part_n and_o figure_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o perception_n but_o the_o self-knowing_a and_o self-moving_a part_n compose_v themselves_o into_o such_o or_o such_o figure_n and_o as_o there_o be_v propriety_n belong_v to_o such_o composition_n so_o to_o such_o compose_a perception_n so_o that_o the_o compose_a part_n at_o the_o end_n of_o a_o finger_n may_v not_o have_v the_o same_o perception_n with_o the_o middle_a part_n of_o the_o same_o finger_n but_o some_o may_v say_v if_o there_o be_v such_o ignorance_n between_o the_o part_n of_o a_o compose_a figure_n how_o come_v it_o that_o many_o time_n the_o pain_n of_o one_o particular_a part_n will_v cause_v a_o general_a distemper_n throughout_o all_o the_o body_n i_o answer_v there_o may_v be_v a_o general_a perception_n of_o the_o irregularity_n of_o such_o particular_a compose_a part_n in_o the_o other_o part_n of_o the_o body_n although_o they_o be_v not_o irregular_a themselves_o for_o if_o they_o have_v the_o same_o composition_n and_o the_o same_o irregularity_n as_o the_o distemper_a part_n they_o will_v have_v the_o same_o effect_n that_o be_v pain_n sickness_n or_o numbness_n etc._n etc._n within_o themselves_o but_o to_o have_v a_o perception_n of_o the_o irregularity_n of_o other_o part_n and_o to_o be_v irregular_a themselves_o be_v different_a thing_n nevertheless_o some_o part_n move_v irregular_o may_v occasion_v other_o part_n to_o do_v the_o same_o but_o it_o be_v well_o to_o be_v observe_v that_o adjoin_v part_n do_v not_o always_o imitate_v each_o other_o neither_o do_v some_o part_n make_v perception_n of_o foreign_a object_n so_o ready_o as_o other_o do_v as_o for_o example_n a_o man_n play_v upon_o a_o fiddle_n or_o some_o other_o instrument_n and_o there_o be_v hundred_o or_o more_o to_o hear_v he_o it_o happen_v oft_o that_o those_o at_o a_o further_a distance_n do_v make_v a_o perfect_a perception_n of_o that_o sound_n than_o those_o which_o be_v near_o and_o oftentimes_o those_o that_o be_v in_o the_o middle_n as_o between_o those_o that_o be_v near_a and_o those_o that_o be_v further_a off_o may_v make_v a_o perfect_a perception_n than_o all_o they_o for_o though_o all_o part_n be_v in_o a_o perpetual_a motion_n yet_o all_o part_n be_v not_o bind_v to_o move_v after_o one_o and_o the_o same_o way_n but_o some_o move_v slow_a some_o quick_a some_o lively_a some_o dull_a and_o some_o part_n do_v move_v so_o irregular_o as_o they_o will_v not_o make_v perception_n of_o some_o object_n when_o as_o they_o make_v perception_n of_o other_o and_o some_o will_v make_v perfect_a perception_n of_o one_o and_o the_o same_o object_n at_o some_o time_n and_o not_o at_o other_o time_n as_o for_o example_n some_o man_n will_v hear_v see_v smell_v taste_n etc._n etc._n more_o perfect_o at_o some_o then_o at_o other_o time_n and_o thus_o to_o repeat_v what_o i_o say_v before_o the_o several_a kind_n sort_n and_o particular_n of_o perception_n must_v well_o be_v consider_v as_o also_o that_o the_o variety_n of_o nature_n proceed_v but_o from_o one_o cause_n which_o be_v self-knowing_a and_o self-moving_a matter_n q._n 16._o why_o a_o man_n hand_n or_o any_o other_o part_n of_o his_o body_n have_v not_o the_o like_a perception_n as_o the_o eye_n the_o ear_n or_o the_o nose_n etc._n etc._n because_o there_o be_v sensitive_a and_o rational_a motion_n in_o all_o the_o part_n of_o his_o body_n i_o answer_v the_o reason_n why_o the_o same_o perception_n that_o be_v within_o the_o eye_n can_v be_v in_o the_o hand_n or_o in_o any_o other_o part_n of_o a_o man_n body_n be_v that_o the_o part_n of_o the_o hand_n be_v compose_v into_o another_o sort_n of_o figure_n then_o the_o eye_n ear_n nose_n etc._n etc._n be_v and_o the_o sensitive_a motion_n make_v

although_o the_o interior_a action_n of_o all_o other_o part_n do_v not_o appear_v to_o our_o sense_n yet_o they_o may_v be_v perceive_v by_o regular_a reason_n for_o what_o sense_n want_v reason_n

for_o sensitive_a experiment_n for_o when_o the_o effect_n do_v not_o ready_o follow_v according_a to_o our_o intention_n reason_n be_v fain_o to_o consider_v and_o inquire_v into_o the_o cause_n that_o hinder_v or_o obstruct_v the_o success_n of_o our_o design_n and_o if_o reason_n be_v above_o sense_n then_o speculative_a philosophy_n ought_v to_o be_v prefer_v before_o the_o experimental_a because_o there_o can_v no_o reason_n be_v give_v for_o any_o thing_n without_o it_o i_o will_v not_o say_v that_o all_o art_n have_v their_o first_o origine_fw-la from_o reason_n for_o what_o we_o name_v chance_n do_v often_o present_a to_o the_o sensitive_a perception_n such_o thing_n which_o the_o rational_a do_v afterward_o take_v into_o consideration_n but_o my_o meaning_n be_v that_o for_o the_o most_o part_n reason_n lead_v and_o direct_v the_o way_n of_o art_n and_o i_o be_o of_o opinion_n that_o contemplative_a philosophy_n be_v the_o best_a tutoress_n and_o give_v the_o sure_a instruction_n to_o art_n and_o among_o the_o rest_n to_o the_o art_n of_o chemistry_n which_o no_o doubt_n be_v very_o profitable_a to_o man_n many_o several_a way_n and_o very_o sovereign_a in_o many_o desperate_a disease_n if_o discreet_o and_o moderate_o use_v but_o if_o chemical_a medicine_n shall_v be_v so_o common_o apply_v as_o other_o they_o will_v soon_o kill_v than_o cure_n and_o

in_o desperate_a case_n and_o that_o with_o great_a moderation_n and_o discretion_n 21._o of_o the_o universal_a medicine_n and_o of_o disease_n iam_fw-la not_o of_o the_o opinion_n that_o there_o

irregular_a motion_n i_o answer_v these_o irregular_a motion_n be_v so_o numerous_a different_a and_o various_a that_o all_o the_o artist_n in_o nature_n be_v not_o able_a to_o rectify_v they_o nay_o they_o may_v soon_o make_v or_o create_v a_o new_a matter_n then_o rectify_v the_o irregularity_n of_o nature_n more_o than_o nature_n herself_o be_v please_v to_o do_v for_o though_o art_n may_v be_v

prepare_v they_o for_o his_o use_n so_o artist_n may_v dissolve_v and_o compose_v several_a part_n several_a way_n but_o yet_o they_o can_v make_v the_o matter_n of_o those_o part_n and_o therefore_o although_o they_o may_v observe_v the_o effect_n yet_o they_o can_v always_o give_v a_o true_a or_o probable_a reason_n why_o they_o be_v so_o nor_o know_v the_o several_a particular_a cause_n which_o make_v they_o to_o be_v so_o to_o see_v the_o effect_n belong_v to_o the_o perception_n of_o sense_n but_o to_o judge_n of_o the_o cause_n belong_v only_o to_o reason_n and_o since_o there_o be_v a_o

corporeal_a figurative_a motion_n be_v so_o be_v the_o perception_n not_o only_o in_o one_o compose_v figure_n but_o also_o in_o every_o part_n and_o particle_n of_o the_o same_o figure_n for_o one_o and_o the_o same_o part_n may_v make_v several_a perception_n in_o several_a creature_n according_a to_o their_o several_a figurative_a motion_n but_o reason_n be_v above_o sense_n be_v more_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

if_o so_o than_o not_o only_o the_o rugged_a and_o uneven_a part_n but_o also_o the_o aethereal_a globule_n will_v become_v less_o by_o this_o continual_a rotation_n and_o will_v make_v this_o world_n

geometry_n he_o may_v perhaps_o do_v something_o but_o his_o artificial_a figure_n will_v never_o find_v out_o the_o architecture_n of_o nature_n which_o be_v beyond_o his_o perception_n or_o

cause_n of_o colour_n as_o well_o as_o of_o our_o optic_a perception_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v although_o we_o can_v regular_o see_v any_o other_o body_n without_o light_n by_o reason_n darkness_n do_v involve_v they_o yet_o we_o perceive_v darkness_n and_o night_n without_o the_o help_n of_o light_n they_o will_v say_v we_o perceive_v darkness_n only_o by_o the_o absence_n of_o light_n i_o answer_v if_o all_o the_o perception_n of_o the_o optic_a sense_n do_v come_v from_o light_n than_o the_o perception_n of_o night_n or_o darkness_n will_v be_v no_o perception_n at_o all_o which_o be_v a_o paradox_n and_o contrary_a to_o common_a experience_n nay_o to_o sense_n and_o reason_n for_o black_a require_v as_o much_o perception_n as_o white_a and_o so_o do_v darkness_n and_o night_n neither_o can_v we_o say_v it_o be_v dark_a or_o it_o be_v night_n if_o we_o do_v not_o perceive_v it_o to_o be_v so_o or_o have_v no_o perception_n at_o all_o of_o it_o the_o truth_n be_v we_o perceive_v as_o much_o darkness_n as_o we_o do_v light_n and_o as_o much_o black_a as_o we_o do_v white_a for_o although_o darkness_n do_v not_o present_a to_o our_o view_n other_o object_n so_o as_o light_n do_v but_o conceal_v they_o yet_o this_o do_v not_o infer_v that_o darkness_n be_v not_o perceive_v for_o darkness_n must_v needs_o do_v so_o by_o reason_n it_o be_v opposite_a to_o light_v and_o its_o corporeal_a figurative_a motion_n be_v quite_o contrary_a to_o the_o motion_n of_o light_n and_o therefore_o it_o must_v also_o of_o necessity_n have_v contrary_a effect_n wherefore_o the_o error_n of_o those_o that_o will_v not_o allow_v darkness_n to_o be_v a_o corporeal_a figurative_a motion_n as_o well_o as_o light_v but_o only_o a_o privation_n or_o absence_n of_o light_n can_v make_v it_o nothing_o but_o it_o be_v on_o the_o contrary_a well_o know_v that_o darkness_n have_v a_o be_v as_o well_o as_o light_n have_v and_o that_o it_o be_v something_o and_o not_o

which_o condition_n if_o any_o be_v want_v there_o be_v either_o no_o perception_n at_o all_o or_o it_o be_v a_o imperfect_a perception_n for_o the_o perception_n of_o see_v a_o exterior_a object_n

colour_n be_v make_v by_o several_a corporeal_a figurative_a motion_n may_v well_o be_v perceive_v by_o a_o general_a sense_n which_o be_v touch_n i_o will_v not_o say_v that_o touch_n be_v the_o

perception_n all_o which_o prove_v that_o every_o part_n be_v sensible_a and_o every_o sense_n know_v not_o only_o in_o particular_a but_o that_o one_o sense_n may_v have_v some_o general_a notion_n or_o knowledge_n of_o the_o rest_n for_o there_o be_v particular_a and_o general_a perception_n in_o sensitive_a and_o rational_a matter_n which_o be_v the_o cause_n both_o of_o the_o variety_n and_o

the_o ground-figure_n of_o colour_n as_o some_o do_v conceive_v or_o as_o other_o do_v imagine_v blue_a and_o yellow_a for_o no_o particular_a figure_n can_v be_v a_o principle_n but_o they_o be_v

insomuch_o as_o a_o horse_n or_o any_o other_o creature_n will_v be_v of_o more_o various_a colour_n then_o a_o rainbow_n but_o that_o several_a colour_n be_v of_o several_a figure_n be_v always_o and_o be_v still_o my_o opinion_n and_o that_o the_o change_n of_o colour_n proceed_v from_o the_o alteration_n of_o their_o figure_n as_o i_o have_v more_o at_o large_a declare_v in_o my_o other_o

some_o body_n may_v do_v so_o but_o all_o white_a and_o black_a colour_n be_v not_o make_v by_o such_o reflection_n the_o truth_n be_v some_o conceive_v all_o colour_n to_o be_v make_v by_o one_o

some_o may_v object_v that_o if_o colour_n be_v as_o proper_a to_o a_o body_n as_o matter_n and_o if_o the_o mind_n be_v corporeal_a than_o the_o mind_n be_v also_o colour_a i_o answer_v the_o mind_n in_o my_o opinion_n have_v as_o much_o colour_n as_o other_o part_n of_o nature_n but_o then_o perhaps_o they_o will_v ask_v i_o what_o colour_n the_o mind_n be_v of_o my_o answer_n be_v that_o the_o mind_n which_o be_v the_o rational_a part_n of_o nature_n be_v no_o more_o subject_n to_o one_o colour_n than_o the_o infinite_a part_n of_o nature_n be_v subject_a to_o one_o corporeal_a figurative_a motion_n for_o you_o can_v no_o more_o confine_v the_o corporeal_a mind_n to_o a_o particular_a complexion_n than_o you_o can_v confine_v infinite_a matter_n to_o one_o particular_a colour_n or_o all_o colour_n to_o one_o particular_a figure_n again_o they_o may_v ask_v whether_o a_o idea_n have_v a_o colour_n and_o if_o so_o whether_o the_o idea_n of_o god_n be_v colour_v to_o which_o i_o

idea_n of_o god_n it_o be_v impossible_a to_o have_v a_o corporeal_a idea_n of_o a_o infinite_a incorporeal_a be_v for_o though_o the_o finite_a part_n of_o nature_n may_v have_v a_o perception_n or_o knowledge_n of_o the_o existence_n of_o god_n yet_o they_o can_v possible_o pattern_v or_o figure_v he_o he_o be_v a_o supernatural_a immaterial_a and_o infinite_a be_v but_o put_v the_o case_n although_o it_o be_v very_o improbable_a nay_o against_o sense_n and_o reason_n there_o be_v natural_a immaterial_a idea_n if_o those_o idea_n be_v finite_a and_o not_o infinite_a yet_o they_o can_v not_o possible_o express_v a_o infinite_a which_o be_v without_o limitation_n by_o a_o finite_a figure_n which_o have_v a_o circumference_n some_o may_v say_v a_o immaterial_a idea_n have_v no_o circumference_n but_o then_o i_o answer_v it_o be_v not_o a_o finite_a idea_n and_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o a_o idea_n to_o be_v infinite_a for_o i_o take_v a_o idea_n to_o be_v the_o picture_n of_o some_o object_n and_o there_o can_v be_v no_o picture_n without_o a_o perfect_a form_n neither_o can_v i_o conceive_v how_o a_o immaterial_a can_v have_v a_o form_n not_o have_v a_o body_n wherefore_o it_o be_v more_o impossible_a for_o nature_n to_o make_v a_o picture_n of_o the_o infinite_a god_n then_o for_o man_n which_o be_v but_o a_o part_n of_o nature_n to_o make_v a_o picture_n of_o infinite_a nature_n for_o nature_n be_v material_a have_v also_o a_o figure_n and_o matter_n they_o be_v all_o one_o so_o that_o none_o can_v be_v without_o the_o other_o no_o more_o than_o nature_n can_v be_v divide_v from_o herself_o thus_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o man_n to_o make_v a_o figure_n or_o picture_n of_o that_o which_o be_v not_o a_o part_n of_o nature_n for_o picture_n be_v as_o much_o part_n of_o nature_n as_o any_o other_o part_n nay_o be_v they_o monstrous_a as_o we_o call_v they_o for_o nature_n be_v material_a be_v also_o figurative_a and_o be_v a_o self-moving_a matter_n or_o substance_n be_v divideable_a and_o composeable_a and_o as_o she_o have_v infinite_a corporeal_a figurative_a motion_n and_o infinite_a part_n so_o she_o have_v infinite_a figure_n of_o which_o some_o be_v picture_n other_o original_n and_o if_o any_o one_o particular_a creature_n can_v picture_n out_o those_o infinite_a figure_n he_o will_v picture_n out_o nature_n but_o nature_n be_v infinite_a can_v be_v picture_v or_o pattern_v by_o any_o finite_a and_o particular_a creature_n although_o she_o be_v material_a nevertherless_a she_o may_v be_v pattern_v in_o part_n and_o as_o for_o god_n he_o be_v individeable_a and_o immaterial_a can_v neither_o be_v pattern_v in_o part_n nor_o in_o whole_a by_o any_o part_n of_o nature_n which_o be_v material_a nay_o not_o by_o infinite_a nature_n herself_o wherefore_o the_o notion_n of_o god_n can_v be_v no_o otherwise_o but_o of_o his_o existence_n to_o wit_n that_o we_o know_v there_o be_v something_o above_o nature_n who_o be_v the_o author_n and_o god_n of_o nature_n for_o though_o nature_n have_v a_o infinite_a natural_a knowledge_n of_o the_o infinite_a god_n yet_o be_v divideable_a as_o well_o as_o composeable_a her_o part_n can_v have_v such_o a_o infinite_a knowledge_n or_o perception_n and_o be_v composeable_a as_o much_o as_o divideable_a no_o part_n can_v be_v so_o ignorant_a of_o god_n as_o not_o to_o know_v there_o be_v a_o god_n thus_o nature_n have_v both_o a_o infinite_a and_o finite_a perception_n infinite_a in_o the_o whole_a as_o i_o may_v say_v for_o better_a expression_n sake_n and_o finite_a in_o part_n but_o mistake_v i_o not_o i_o do_v not_o mean_v that_o either_o the_o infinite_a perception_n of_o nature_n or_o the_o finite_a perception_n of_o natural_a part_n and_o creature_n be_v any_o otherwise_o of_o that_o supernatural_a and_o divine_a be_v then_o natural_a but_o yet_o they_o be_v the_o most_o pure_a part_n be_v of_o the_o rational_a part_n of_o nature_n move_v in_o a_o most_o elevate_a and_o subtle_a manner_n as_o make_v no_o exact_a figure_n or_o form_n because_o god_n have_v neither_o form_n nor_o figure_n but_o that_o subtle_a matter_n or_o corporeal_a perceptive_a motion_n pattern_n out_o only_o a_o overrule_a power_n which_o power_n all_o the_o part_n of_o nature_n be_v sensible_a of_o and_o yet_o know_v not_o what_o it_o be_v like_v as_o the_o perception_n of_o sight_n see_v the_o ebb_a and_o flow_v of_o the_o sea_n or_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o sun_n yet_o know_v not_o their_o cause_n and_o the_o perception_n of_o hear_v hear_v thunder_n yet_o know_v not_o how_o it_o be_v make_v and_o if_o there_o be_v such_o ignorance_n of_o the_o corporeal_a part_n of_o nature_n what_o of_o god_n but_o to_o conclude_v my_o opinion_n be_v that_o as_o the_o sensitive_a perception_n know_v some_o of_o the_o other_o part_n of_o nature_n by_o their_o effect_n so_o the_o rational_a perceive_v some_o effect_n of_o the_o omnipotent_a power_n of_o god_n which_o effect_n be_v perceptible_a by_o finite_a creature_n but_o not_o his_o infinite_a nature_n nor_o essence_n nor_o the_o cause_n of_o his_o infiniteness_n and_o omnipotency_n thus_o although_o god_n power_n may_v be_v perceive_v by_o nature_n part_n yet_o what_o god_n be_v can_v be_v know_v by_o any_o part_n and_o nature_n be_v composeable_a there_o be_v a_o general_a acknowledgement_n of_o god_n in_o all_o her_o part_n but_o be_v also_o divideable_a it_o be_v the_o cause_n there_o be_v particular_a religion_n and_o opinion_n of_o god_n and_o of_o his_o divine_a

when_o the_o sensitive_a do_v not_o to_o which_o i_o answer_v it_o be_v probable_a that_o the_o rational_a do_v many_o time_n move_v to_o other_o perception_n than_o the_o sensitive_a as_o i_o have_v

as_o well_o as_o the_o sensitive_a i_o answer_v the_o reason_n be_v because_o the_o rational_a part_n be_v more_o pure_a and_o fine_a than_o the_o sensitive_a or_o any_o other_o part_n of_o matter_n

they_o must_v of_o necessity_n divide_v and_o compose_v but_o if_o they_o divide_v and_o compose_v they_o can_v keep_v constant_o to_o the_o same_o part_n nevertheless_o although_o particular_a part_n

reason_n perceive_v by_o the_o information_n of_o the_o sense_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v my_o meaning_n be_v not_o that_o reason_n have_v no_o other_o perception_n but_o by_o the_o information_n of_o the_o sense_n for_o sure_o the_o rational_a perception_n be_v more_o subtle_a pierce_a and_o penetrate_v or_o inspective_n than_o the_o sensitive_a and_o therefore_o more_o intelligent_a and_o know_a but_o when_o i_o say_v that_o sense_n inform_v reason_n i_o speak_v only_o of_o such_o perception_n where_o the_o rational_a figurative_a motion_n take_v pattern_n from_o the_o sensitive_a and_o do_v not_o work_v voluntary_o or_o by_o rote_n beside_o it_o be_v to_o be_v observe_v that_o in_o the_o mention_a book_n i_o compare_v thought_n which_o be_v the_o action_n of_o the_o rational_a figurative_a motion_n to_o the_o sensitive_a touch_n so_o that_o touch_n be_v like_o a_o thought_n in_o sense_n and_o think_v like_o a_o touch_n in_o reason_n but_o there_o be_v great_a difference_n in_o their_o purity_n for_o though_o the_o action_n of_o touch_n and_o thought_n be_v much_o after_o the_o same_o manner_n yet_o the_o different_a degree_n of_o sense_n and_o reason_n or_o of_o animate_v sensitive_a and_o rational_a matter_n cause_n great_a difference_n between_o they_o and_o as_o all_o sensitive_a perception_n be_v a_o kind_n of_o touch_n so_o all_o rational_a perception_n be_v a_o kind_n of_o thoughtfulness_n but_o mistake_v i_o not_o when_o i_o say_v thought_n be_v like_a touch_n for_o i_o do_v not_o mean_v that_o the_o rational_a perception_n be_v cause_v by_o the_o

according_a to_o the_o number_n of_o its_o eye_n i_o answer_v that_o when_o the_o corporeal_a motion_n in_o each_o eye_n move_v irregular_o as_o for_o example_n when_o one_o eye_n move_v this_o and_o the_o other_o another_o way_n or_o when_o the_o eye_n look_v asquint_o then_o they_o do_v not_o pattern_n out_o the_o object_n direct_o as_o they_o ought_v but_o when_o the_o eye_n move_v regular_o than_o they_o pattern_v out_o one_o and_o the_o same_o object_n alike_o as_o be_v fix_v but_o upon_o one_o point_n and_o the_o proof_n thereof_o be_v if_o there_o be_v two_o eye_n we_o may_v observe_v that_o both_o have_v their_o perception_n apart_o as_o well_o as_o joint_o because_o those_o part_n that_o be_v in_o the_o middle_n of_o each_o eye_n do_v not_o make_v at_o the_o same_o time_n the_o

be_v just_a the_o same_o as_o its_o exterior_a figure_n as_o for_o example_n if_o a_o artificial_a eye_n or_o ear_n be_v of_o animal_n flesh_n and_o the_o like_a it_o will_v have_v the_o like_a

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

their_o body_n to_o receive_v foreign_a and_o discharge_v some_o of_o their_o own_o part_n next_o i_o believe_v that_o those_o respiration_n be_v of_o different_a sort_n according_a to_o the_o different_a sort_n of_o creature_n three_o as_o the_o respiration_n of_o natural_a part_n and_o creature_n be_v various_a and_o different_a so_o be_v also_o the_o pore_n or_o passage_n through_o which_o they_o respire_v as_o for_o example_n in_o man_n and_o some_o other_o animal_n the_o nostril_n ear_n mouth_n pore_n of_o the_o skin_n be_v all_o of_o different_a figure_n and_o such_o a_o difference_n may_v also_o be_v between_o the_o small_a pore_n of_o the_o skin_n of_o the_o several_a part_n of_o man_n as_o between_o the_o pore_n of_o his_o breast_n arm_n leg_n head_n etc._n etc._n 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 make_v several_a colour_n by_o the_o various_a refraction_n inflection_n reflection_n and_o position_n of_o light_n then_o certain_o a_o naked_a man_n will_v appear_v of_o many_o several_a colour_n according_a to_o the_o difference_n of_o his_o pore_n or_o grain_n of_o the_o skin_n and_o the_o different_a position_n of_o light_n but_o sense_n and_o reason_n do_v plain_o observe_v that_o the_o position_n of_o light_n do_v not_o cause_v such_o effect_n for_o though_o every_o several_a man_n for_o the_o most_o part_n have_v a_o peculiar_a complexion_n feature_n shape_n humour_n disoposition_n etc._n etc._n different_a from_o each_o other_o so_o that_o it_o be_v a_o miracle_n to_o see_v two_o man_n just_o alike_o one_o another_o in_o all_o thing_n yet_o light_n alter_v not_o the_o natural_a colour_n of_o their_o body_n no_o more_o than_o it_o can_v alter_v the_o natural_a figure_n and_o shape_n of_o all_o other_o part_n of_o their_o body_n but_o what_o alteration_n soever_o be_v make_v proceed_v from_o the_o natural_a corporeal_a motion_n of_o the_o same_o body_n and_o not_o from_o the_o various_a position_n refraction_n and_o reflection_n of_o light_n who_o variety_n in_o nature_n

of_o the_o ancient_a philosopher_n in_o which_o i_o find_v so_o much_o difference_n betwixt_o their_o conception_n and_o my_o own_o in_o natural_a philosophy_n that_o be_v it_o allowable_a or_o usual_a for_o our_o sex_n i_o may_v set_v up_o a_o sector_n school_n for_o myself_o without_o any_o prejudice_n to_o they_o but_o i_o be_v a_o woman_n do_v fear_v they_o will_v soon_o cast_v i_o out_o of_o their_o school_n for_o though_o the_o muse_n grace_n and_o science_n be_v all_o of_o the_o female_a gender_n yet_o they_o be_v more_o esteem_v in_o former_a age_n than_o they_o be_v now_o nay_o

of_o such_o atom_n there_o will_v be_v no_o certain_a kind_n and_o species_n of_o creature_n nor_o no_o uniformity_n or_o order_n neither_o be_o i_o able_a to_o conceive_v how_o there_o can_v be_v a_o

be_v corporeal_a so_o it_o be_v also_o sensitive_a and_o rational_a q._n 11._o whether_o perception_n be_v make_v by_o pattern_v i_o answer_v my_o sense_n and_o reason_n do_v observe_v that_o the_o animal_n at_o least_o humane_a perception_n perform_v by_o the_o sensitive_a and_o rational_a motion_n in_o the_o organ_n appropriate_v for_o it_o be_v make_v by_o pattern_v or_o frame_v of_o figure_n according_a to_o the_o pattern_n of_o exterior_a object_n but_o whether_o all_o other_o kind_n and_o sort_n of_o perception_n in_o the_o infinite_a part_n of_o nature_n be_v make_v the_o same_o manner_n or_o way_n neither_o myself_o nor_o no_o particular_a creature_n be_v able_a to_o determine_v by_o reason_n there_o be_v as_o many_o various_a sort_n of_o perception_n as_o there_o be_v of_o other_o action_n of_o nature_n and_o according_a as_o the_o corporeal_a figurative_a motion_n do_v alter_v and_o change_v so_o do_v particular_a perception_n for_o perception_n be_v a_o corporeal_a figurative_a action_n and_o be_v general_o in_o all_o part_n and_o action_n of_o nature_n and_o as_o no_o part_n can_v be_v without_o self-motion_n and_o self-knowledg_n so_o none_o can_v be_v without_o perception_n and_o therefore_o i_o dare_v true_o say_v that_o all_o perception_n be_v make_v by_o figure_v though_o i_o can_v certain_o affirm_v that_o all_o be_v make_v by_o imitation_n or_o pattern_v but_o it_o be_v well_o to_o be_v observe_v that_o beside_o those_o exterior_a perception_n of_o object_n there_o be_v some_o other_o interior_a action_n both_o of_o sense_n and_o reason_n which_o be_v make_v without_o the_o presentation_n of_o exterior_a object_n voluntary_o or_o by_o rote_n and_o therefore_o be_v not_o action_n of_o pattern_v but_o voluntary_a action_n of_o figure_v as_o for_o example_n imagination_n fancy_n conception_n passion_n and_o the_o like_a be_v make_v by_o the_o rational_a corporeal_a figurative_a motion_n without_o take_v any_o copy_n of_o foreign_a object_n also_o many_o generation_n dissolution_n alteration_n transformation_n etc._n etc._n be_v make_v by_o the_o sensitive_a motion_n without_o any_o exterior_a pattern_n for_o the_o generation_n of_o maggot_n in_o a_o cheese_n of_o a_o worm_n in_o the_o root_n of_o a_o tree_n of_o a_o stone_n in_o the_o bladder_n etc._n etc._n be_v not_o make_v by_o pattern_v or_o imitation_n because_o they_o be_v not_o like_o their_o producer_n but_o mere_o by_o a_o voluntary_a figure_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v well_o to_o be_v observe_v that_o figure_v and_o pattern_v be_v not_o one_o and_o the_o same_o figure_v be_v a_o general_a action_n of_o nature_n for_o all_o corporeal_a action_n be_v figurative_a when_o as_o pattern_v be_v but_o a_o particular_a sort_n of_o figure_v and_o although_o i_o observe_v that_o some_o perception_n be_v make_v by_o pattern_v yet_o i_o can_v say_v the_o same_o of_o all_o neither_o be_v the_o interior_a voluntary_a action_n make_v by_o pattern_v but_o both_o the_o sensitive_a and_o rational_a motion_n frame_v such_o or_o such_o figure_n of_o their_o own_o accord_n for_o though_o each_o part_n in_o the_o composition_n of_o a_o creature_n know_v its_o own_o work_n and_o all_o do_v agree_v in_o the_o frame_n and_o produce_v of_o it_o yet_o they_o be_v not_o necessitate_v always_o to_o imitate_v each_o other_o which_o be_v evident_a because_o the_o composition_n of_o one_o and_o the_o same_o creature_n be_v various_a and_o different_a by_o reason_n of_o the_o variety_n of_o its_o part_n and_o this_o be_v the_o difference_n between_o exterior_a perception_n and_o interior_a voluntary_a action_n for_o though_o both_o be_v effect_n of_o self-knowledg_n and_o self-motion_n yet_o perception_n be_v proper_o concern_v foreign_a part_n figure_n and_o action_n and_o be_v occasion_v by_o they_o but_o the_o voluntary_a action_n be_v not_o occasion_v by_o any_o outward_a object_n but_o make_v figure_n of_o their_o own_o accord_n without_o any_o imitation_n pattern_n or_o copy_n of_o foreign_a part_n or_o action_n and_o as_o the_o figure_n and_o part_n alter_v by_o their_o composition_n and_o division_n so_o do_v both_o interior_a and_o exterior_a particular_a knowledge_n for_o a_o tree_n although_o it_o have_v sensitive_a and_o rational_a knowledge_n and_o perception_n yet_o it_o have_v not_o a_o animal_n

perception_n as_o the_o nature_n of_o their_o figure_n require_v for_o self-knowledg_n alter_v as_o their_o own_o part_n alter_v perception_n alter_v as_o the_o object_n alter_v figure_n alter_v as_o the_o action_n alter_v and_o the_o action_n alter_v as_o nature_n please_v or_o be_v decree_v by_o god_n to_o work_v but_o i_o desire_v it_o may_v be_v observe_v first_o that_o although_o there_o be_v both_o voluntaay_n action_n of_o figure_v and_o occasion_v action_n of_o perceive_v exterior_a object_n both_o in_o sense_n and_o reason_n whereof_o those_o i_o call_v interior_a these_o exterior_a yet_o both_o of_o they_o be_v innate_a and_o inherent_a action_n of_o their_o own_o part_n as_o proceed_v from_o the_o ground_n and_o fountain_n of_o self-knowledg_n and_o the_o reason_n why_o i_o call_v the_o voluntary_a action_n interior_a be_v because_o they_o have_v no_o such_o respect_n to_o outward_a object_n at_o least_o be_v not_o occasion_v by_o they_o as_o perception_n be_v but_o be_v the_o own_o figurative_a action_n of_o sense_n and_o reason_n make_v by_o rote_n when_o as_o perception_n do_v tend_v to_o exterior_a object_n and_o be_v make_v according_a to_o the_o presentation_n of_o their_o figure_n part_n or_o action_n next_o it_o be_v to_o be_v observe_v that_o many_o time_n the_o rational_a motion_n take_v pattern_n from_o the_o sensitive_a voluntary_a figure_n as_o for_o example_n in_o dream_n when_o the_o sensitive_a motion_n make_v voluntary_a figure_n on_o the_o inside_n of_o the_o sensitive_a organ_n the_o rational_a take_v pattern_n of_o they_o and_o again_o the_o sensitive_a do_v many_o time_n take_v pattern_n of_o the_o rational_a when_o they_o make_v figure_n by_o rote_n as_o in_o the_o invention_n and_o delivery_n of_o art_n and_o science_n so_o that_o there_o be_v oftentimes_o a_o imitation_n between_o the_o rational_a and_o sensitive_a motion_n for_o the_o rational_a voluntary_a figure_n be_v like_o exterior_a object_n to_o be_v pattern_v out_o by_o the_o sensitive_a perceptive_a motion_n and_o the_o sensitive_a voluntary_a figure_n be_v like_o exterior_a object_n to_o be_v pattern_v out_o by_o the_o rational_a perceptive_a motion_n and_o yet_o all_o their_o perceptive_a action_n be_v their_o own_o and_o perform_v inward_o that_o be_v by_o their_o own_o motion_n which_o prove_v that_o by_o name_v perception_n a_o exterior_a action_n i_o do_v not_o mean_v that_o it_o be_v a_o action_n exterious_o perceptible_a or_o visible_a for_o if_o it_o be_v thus_o then_o one_o part_n will_v present_o know_v another_o part_n
