for_o perception_n be_v only_o a_o action_n of_o figure_v or_o pattern_v when_o as_o the_o rational_a and_o sensitive_a motion_n do_v figure_n or_o pattern_n out_o something_o but_o respiration_n be_v

in_o most_o natural_a creature_n by_o reason_n that_o all_o or_o most_o have_v some_o kind_n of_o respiration_n yet_o nature_n have_v more_o way_n of_o divide_v and_o unite_n of_o part_n or_o of_o

part_n of_o the_o sentient_a body_n which_o motion_n in_o the_o congelation_n of_o water_n do_v not_o alter_v the_o interior_a nature_n of_o water_n but_o only_o contract_v its_o exterior_a figure_n

body_n or_o some_o sort_n of_o oil_n and_o spirit_n for_o as_o we_o see_v that_o fire_n can_v have_v the_o same_o operation_n on_o all_o body_n alike_o but_o some_o it_o cause_n to_o consume_v and_o

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

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

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 motion_n in_o several_a particular_a creature_n or_o part_n of_o nature_n but_o what_o some_o learned_a mean_a by_o bare_a privation_n i_o can_v apprehend_v for_o there_o be_v no_o such_o thing_n as_o 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 reason_n that_o to_o explain_v myself_o the_o better_a 〈…〉_z of_o motion_n i_o do_v always_o add_v the_o word_n corporeal_a 〈◊〉_d figurative_a by_o which_o i_o exclude_v all_o bare_a or_o immaterial_a motion_n which_o expression_n be_v altogether_o against_o sense_n and_o reason_n the_o second_o question_n be_v whether_o wind_n have_v the_o power_n to_o change_v the_o exterior_a temper_n of_o the_o air_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o wind_n will_v not_o only_o occasion_v the_o air_n to_o be_v either_o hot_a or_o cold_a according_a to_o their_o own_o temper_n but_o also_o animal_n and_o vegetable_n and_o other_o sort_n of_o creature_n for_o the_o sensitive_a corporeal_a motion_n in_o several_a kind_n of_o creature_n do_v often_o imitate_v and_o figure_v out_o the_o motion_n of_o exterior_a object_n some_o more_o some_o less_o some_o regular_o and_o some_o irregular_o and_o some_o not_o at_o all_o according_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o their_o own_o perception_n by_o which_o we_o may_v observe_v that_o the_o agent_n which_o be_v the_o external_a object_n have_v only_o a_o occasional_a power_n and_o the_o patient_n which_o be_v the_o sentient_a work_v chief_o the_o effect_n by_o virtue_n of_o the_o perceptive_a figurative_a motion_n in_o its_o own_o sensitive_a organ_n or_o part_n quest._n 3._o why_o those_o wind_n that_o come_v from_o cold_a region_n be_v 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 out_o the_o motion_n of_o cold_a or_o heat_n in_o those_o part_n from_o which_o they_o either_o separate_v themselves_o or_o which_o they_o have_v meet_v withal_o but_o it_o may_v be_v question_v whether_o all_o cold_a and_o hot_a wind_n do_v bring_v their_o heat_n and_o cold_a along_o with_o they_o out_o of_o such_o hot_a and_o cold_a country_n and_o i_o be_o of_o opinion_n they_o do_v not_o but_o that_o they_o proceed_v from_o a_o imitation_n of_o the_o near_a part_n which_o take_v pattern_n from_o other_o part_n and_o these_o again_o from_o the_o remote_a part_n so_o that_o they_o be_v but_o pattern_n of_o other_o pattern_n and_o copy_n of_o other_o copy_n quest._n 4._o why_o fire_n in_o some_o cold_a region_n will_v hardly_o kindle_v or_o at_o least_o not_o burn_v free_o i_o 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 motion_n and_o the_o diminution_n of_o its_o strength_n but_o some_o may_v ask_v what_o make_v or_o cause_v this_o imitation_n in_o several_a sort_n of_o creture_n i_o answer_v the_o wisdom_n of_o nature_n which_o order_v her_o corporeal_a action_n to_o be_v always_o in_o a_o mean_a so_o that_o one_o extreme_a as_o one_o may_v call_v it_o do_v countervail_v another_o but_o than_o you_o will_v say_v there_o will_v always_o be_v a_o right_n and_o mean_a temper_n in_o all_o thing_n i_o answer_v so_o there_o be_v in_o the_o whole_a that_o be_v in_o infinite_a nature_n although_o not_o in_o every_o particular_a for_o nature_n wisdom_n order_n her_o particular_n to_o the_o best_a of_o the_o whole_a and_o although_o
particular_n do_v oppose_v each_o other_o yet_o all_o opposition_n tend_v to_o the_o conservation_n of_o a_o general_a peace_n and_o unity_n in_o the_o whole_a but_o to_o return_v to_o fire_n since_o air_n be_v the_o proper_a matter_n of_o respiration_n for_o fire_n extreme_a cold_n and_o frost_n either_o of_o air_n or_o vapour_n be_v as_o unfit_a for_o the_o respiration_n of_o fire_n as_o water_n be_v which_o if_o it_o do_v not_o kill_v it_o quite_o yet_o it_o will_v at_o least_o make_v it_o sick_a pale_a and_o faint_a but_o if_o water_n be_v rarify_v to_o such_o a_o degree_n that_o it_o become_v thin_a vapour_n than_o it_o be_v as_o proper_a for_o its_o respiration_n as_o air_n thus_o we_o see_v although_o fire_n have_v fuel_n which_o be_v its_o food_n yet_o no_o food_n can_v keep_v it_o alive_a without_o breath_n or_o respiration_n the_o like_a may_v be_v say_v of_o some_o other_o creature_n qu._n 5._o whether_o wood_n be_v apt_a to_o freeze_v my_o answer_n be_v that_o i_o believe_v that_o the_o moist_a part_n of_o wood_n which_o be_v sap_n may_v freeze_v as_o hard_o as_o water_n but_o the_o solid_a part_n can_v do_v so_o for_o the_o crack_a noise_n of_o wood_n be_v no_o proof_n of_o its_o be_v freeze_v because_o wainscot_n will_v make_v such_o a_o noise_n in_o summer_n as_o well_o as_o in_o winter_n and_o it_o be_v to_o be_v observe_v that_o some_o body_n will_v be_v apt_a to_o freeze_v in_o a_o weak_a then_o in_o a_o hard_a frost_n according_a to_o their_o own_o disposition_n which_o be_v as_o much_o to_o be_v consider_v as_o the_o object_n of_o cold_a or_o frost_n itself_o for_o some_o body_n do_v more_o and_o some_o less_o imitate_v the_o motion_n of_o some_o object_n and_o some_o not_o at_o all_o and_o thus_o we_o see_v that_o solid_a body_n do_v only_o imitate_v the_o contractive_a motion_n of_o cold_a but_o not_o the_o dilative_a motion_n of_o moisture_n which_o be_v the_o cause_n they_o break_v in_o a_o hard_a frost_n like_v as_o a_o

the_o force_n of_o its_o dilate_v motion_n for_o water_n when_o it_o get_v but_o liberty_n it_o overflow_v all_o and_o dilate_v everywhere_o which_o prove_v it_o be_v not_o air_n that_o make_v it_o

if_o there_o be_v as_o much_o water_n leave_v unfrozen_a as_o will_v serve_v they_o for_o respiration_n they_o may_v live_v for_o it_o be_v well_o know_v that_o water_n be_v the_o chief_a matter_n of_o respiration_n for_o fish_n and_o not_o air_n for_o fish_n be_v out_o of_o water_n can_v live_v long_o but_o whilst_o they_o live_v they_o gasp_n and_o gape_v for_o water_n i_o mean_v such_o

learned_a call_v amphibious_a creature_n as_o otter_n and_o the_o like_a which_o may_v live_v in_o the_o air_n as_o well_o as_o in_o water_n those_o fish_n i_o say_v if_o the_o water_n be_v thorough_o freeze_v or_o if_o but_o the_o surface_n of_o water_n be_v quite_o freeze_v over_o to_o a_o pretty_a depth_n will_v often_o die_v by_o reason_n the_o water_n that_o remain_v unfrozen_a by_o the_o contraction_n of_o ice_n have_v alter_v for_o that_o time_n its_o dilative_a motion_n to_o retentive_a motion_n and_o like_a as_o man_n be_v smother_v in_o a_o close_a air_n so_o fish_n in_o close_a water_n that_o be_v in_o water_n which_o be_v quite_o cover_v and_o enclose_v with_o ice_n but_o at_o some_o man_n have_v not_o so_o nice_a and_o tender_a nature_n as_o other_o and_o some_o have_v

more_o free_o than_o other_o so_o some_o fish_n do_v live_v long_o in_o such_o close_a water_n than_o other_o and_o some_o may_v be_v like_o man_n that_o be_v frostbite_a which_o may_v chance_v to_o

which_o those_o fish_n be_v preserve_v alive_a however_o it_o be_v more_o probable_a for_o fish_n to_o live_v in_o ice_n then_o for_o other_o creature_n because_o the_o principle_n of_o ice_n be_v

the_o reason_n be_v that_o the_o freeze_a or_o congeal_v motion_n be_v not_o natural_a to_o those_o body_n have_v cause_v such_o a_o thorowalteration_n of_o the_o natural_a motion_n of_o their_o

of_o contraction_n and_o dilation_n there_o have_v be_v and_o be_v still_o great_a dispute_n among_o the_o learned_a concern_v contraction_n and_o extension_n of_o body_n but_o if_o i_o be_v to_o decide_v their_o controversy_n i_o will_v ask_v first_o whether_o they_o do_v all_o agree_n in_o one_o principle_n that_o be_v whether_o their_o principle_n be_v pure_o natural_a and_o not_o mix_v with_o divine_a or_o supernatural_a thing_n for_o if_o they_o do_v not_o well_o apprehend_v one_o another_o meaning_n or_o argue_v upon_o different_a principle_n it_o will_v be_v but_o a_o folly_n to_o dispute_v because_o it_o will_v be_v impossible_a for_o they_o to_o agree_v but_o

sense_n and_o reason_n be_v material_a also_o and_o therefore_o we_o need_v not_o to_o introduce_v a_o incorporeal_a mind_n or_o intellect_n beside_o if_o sense_n and_o reason_n be_v a_o

protagoras_n and_o other_o seem_v to_o differ_v from_o the_o sceptic_n yet_o their_o opinion_n be_v not_o so_o far_o asunder_o but_o they_o may_v all_o be_v refer_v to_o the_o same_o sect_n heraclitus_n be_v of_o opinion_n that_o contrary_n be_v in_o the_o same_o thing_n and_o sceptic_n affirm_v that_o contrary_n appear_v in_o the_o same_o thing_n but_o i_o believe_v they_o may_v be_v partly_o both_o in_o the_o right_n and_o partly_o both_o in_o the_o wrong_n if_o their_o opinion_n be_v that_o there_o be_v or_o appear_v contrary_n in_o nature_n or_o in_o the_o essence_n of_o matter_n they_o be_v both_o in_o the_o wrong_n but_o if_o they_o believe_v that_o matter_n have_v different_a and_o contrary_a action_n they_o be_v both_o in_o the_o right_a for_o there_o be_v not_o only_o real_a but_o also_o apparent_a or_o seem_a contrary_n in_o nature_n which_o be_v her_o irregularity_n to_o wit_n when_o the_o sensitive_a and_o rational_a part_n of_o matter_n do_v not_o move_v exact_o to_o the_o nature_n of_o their_o particular_n as_o for_o example_n honey_n be_v sweet_a to_o those_o that_o be_v sound_a and_o in_o health_n but_o bitter_a to_o those_o that_o have_v the_o

copy_n of_o true_a object_n which_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o a_o object_n seem_v often_o to_o be_v that_o which_o real_o it_o be_v not_o however_o those_o irregularity_n be_v true_a corporeal_a motion_n and_o thus_o there_o be_v both_o real_a and_o seem_a contrary_n in_o nature_n but_o as_o i_o mention_v before_o they_o be_v not_o contrary_a matter_n but_o only_o contrary_a action_n democritus_n say_v that_o honey_n be_v neither_o bitter_a nor_o sweet_a by_o reason_n of_o its_o different_a appearance_n to_o different_o affect_a person_n but_o if_o so_o than_o he_o be_v like_o

they_o give_v according_a to_o their_o observation_n this_o follow_a reason_n there_o be_v say_v they_o a_o certain_a heat_n within_o the_o bowel_n of_o the_o earth_n proceed_v from_o its_o swift_a

the_o earth_n convey_v into_o a_o place_n where_o it_o may_v break_v forth_o without_o resistance_n or_o obstruction_n cause_n spring_n and_o fountain_n and_o these_o distil_a water_n within_o the_o earth_n do_v nourish_v and_o refresh_v the_o grosser_n and_o dry_a part_n thereof_o this_o relation_n confirm_v the_o empress_n in_o the_o opinion_n concern_v the_o motion_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o the_o fixedness_n of_o the_o sun_n as_o the_o bird-man_n have_v inform_v she_o and_o then_o she_o ask_v the_o worm-man_n whether_o mineral_n and_o vegetable_n be_v generate_v by_o the_o same_o heat_n

observe_v that_o by_o change_n of_o some_o sort_n of_o corporeal_a motion_n that_o which_o be_v now_o hot_a will_v become_v cold_a and_o what_o be_v now_o cold_a will_v grow_v hot_a but_o the_o hot_a place_n of_o all_o we_o find_v to_o be_v the_o centre_n of_o the_o earth_n neither_o do_v we_o observe_v that_o the_o torrid_a zone_n do_v contain_v so_o much_o gold_n and_o silver_n as_o the_o

whether_o art_n can_v produce_v iron_n tin_n lead_v or_o silver_n they_o answer_v not_o in_o their_o opinion_n then_o i_o perceive_v reply_v the_o empress_n that_o your_o judgement_n be_v very_o

that_o their_o sense_n can_v perceive_v they_o after_o they_o be_v produce_v but_o not_o before_o nevertheless_o say_v they_o although_o the_o interior_a figurative_a motion_n of_o natural_a

that_o their_o glass_n will_v do_v they_o but_o little_a service_n in_o the_o bowel_n of_o the_o earth_n because_o there_o be_v no_o light_n for_o say_v they_o our_o glass_n do_v only_o represent_v

to_o they_o the_o empress_n seem_v well_o please_v with_o this_o answer_n of_o the_o worm-man_n and_o ask_v they_o further_o whether_o mineral_n and_o all_o other_o creature_n within_o the_o earth_n
