theophra_v when_o the_o power_n which_o be_v in_o the_o seed_n that_o be_v to_o say_v when_o the_o preparation_n to_o bring_v in_o form_n be_v come_v by_o daily_a increase_n to_o full_a perfection_n it_o have_v also_o obtain_v therewithal_o the_o form_n of_o substance_n for_o form_v necessary_o follow_v that_o perfection_n and_o never_o leave_v it_o for_o this_o cause_n aristotle_n call_v form_n oftentimes_o by_o the_o name_n of_o entelechia_fw-la in_o regard_n of_o perfection_n either_o because_o it_o be_v a_o inseparable_a companion_n of_o perfect_a power_n or_o else_o because_o it_o do_v fulfil_v and_o perfect_v it_o whole_o therefore_o as_o we_o say_v that_o perfection_n so_o also_o according_a to_o usual_a speech_n we_o say_v that_o form_n be_v bring_v out_o of_o the_o power_n of_o the_o matter_n philadelph_n then_o it_o seem_v to_o i_o that_o form_n be_v extract_v out_o of_o the_o precurrent_a power_n no_o otherwise_o then_o act_n come_v out_o of_o the_o habit_n theophra_v the_o comparison_n which_o you_o have_v make_v be_v fit_a to_o the_o purpose_n for_o by_o long_a custom_n and_o use_n a_o musician_n or_o harper_n have_v get_v a_o habit_n in_o devide_v his_o part_n

the_o act_n proceed_v from_o the_o habit_n or_o skill_n because_o the_o act_n can_v show_v forth_o itself_o except_o the_o habit_n be_v first_o perfect_o get_v so_o in_o like_a manner_n it_o fare_v in_o the_o procreation_n of_o thing_n for_o it_o be_v not_o power_n that_o imprint_v the_o form_n but_o a_o external_a cause_n which_o notwithstanding_o be_v without_o the_o help_n of_o power_n shall_v not_o have_v strength_n enough_o of_o itself_o philadelph_n i_o perceive_v you_o well_o it_o be_v as_o if_o one_o have_v science_n use_v it_o not_o yet_o when_o he_o have_v will_n to_o make_v use_n thereof_o he_o contemplate_v and_o be_v in_o act_n a_o man_n of_o science_n even_o so_o what_o subject_n so_o ever_o have_v perfect_a power_n to_o beget_v a_o thing_n when_o the_o external_a force_n of_o the_o agent_n come_v the_o same_o have_v present_a action_n and_o form_n and_o hereunto_o agree_v aristotle_n who_o say_v he_o which_o know_v any_o thing_n if_o he_o have_v his_o mind_n actual_o occupy_v in_o contemplation_n yet_o he_o keep_v his_o habit_n and_o have_v not_o lose_v his_o science_n in_o contemplate_v but_o do_v rather_o amend_v and_o perfect_v it_o even_o so_o that_o which_o have_v receive_v perfect_a power_n when_o the_o form_n come_v put_v not_o off_o the_o quality_n of_o power_n but_o add_v thereto_o a_o ornament_n &_o a_o perfection_n thus_o you_o see_v i_o well_o understand_v you_o not_o pervert_v your_o meaning_n i_o will_v now_o brief_o repeat_v what_o have_v be_v speak_v hitherto_o for_o my_o better_a memory_n and_o also_o to_o let_v you_o see_v how_o well_o i_o have_v observe_v for_o my_o further_a knowledge_n that_o which_o at_o my_o request_n you_o have_v deliver_v to_o this_o effect_n follow_v speak_v a_o brief_a repetition_n of_o all_o that_o have_v be_v speak_v of_o all_o the_o thing_n which_o the_o parent_n nature_n have_v bring_v forth_o the_o first_o constitution_n be_v make_v out_o of_o the_o inferior_a and_o subject_a matter_n

thing_n beget_v be_v nothing_o permanent_a or_o stable_a but_o do_v sometime_o fall_v and_o vanish_v away_o so_o that_o form_n by_o which_o the_o thing_n do_v flourish_v can_v perpetual_o abide_v and_o cleave_v to_o the_o matter_n but_o remove_v itself_o sometime_o and_o that_o very_o sudden_o which_o shall_v be_v the_o destruction_n thereof_o but_o before_o form_n come_v into_o matter_n it_o

of_o the_o seed_n and_o of_o he_o that_o cast_v the_o seed_n then_o when_o all_o preparation_n be_v full_o finish_v which_o be_v when_o power_n be_v consummate_v then_o by_o a_o certain_a natural_a

the_o power_n and_o force_n of_o all_o thing_n proceed_v from_o these_o three_o and_o no_o more_o theophra_v aristotle_n speak_v of_o efficient_a cause_n propund_v some_o altogether_o without_o

devoid_a of_o reason_n which_o be_v the_o begin_n of_o one_o work_n only_o hereupon_o i_o frame_v this_o argument_n of_o the_o natural_a cause_n and_o faculty_n which_o be_v without_o reason_n one_o cause_n be_v the_o begin_n of_o one_o effect_n neither_o can_v more_o or_o diverse_a effect_n proceed_v from_o one_o and_o the_o same_o but_o we_o observe_v and_o see_v many_o effect_n and_o the_o

cause_n of_o these_o philadelph_n although_o this_o one_o beginning_n have_v diverse_a cause_n and_o faculty_n yet_o i_o ascribe_v all_o those_o to_o temperament_n except_o you_o show_v unto_o i_o that_o of_o these_o some_o do_v proceed_v from_o matter_n and_o some_o from_o form_n theophra_v first_o than_o i_o take_v this_o as_o grant_v from_o you_o that_o there_o be_v certain_a force_n and_o

be_v more_o far_o distant_a then_o be_v the_o thing_n which_o be_v most_o contrary_a shall_v mutual_o pass_v one_o into_o another_o i_o deny_v not_o but_o that_o one_o quality_n may_v be_v change_v into_o another_o and_o one_o substance_n into_o another_o because_o they_o have_v one_o common_a matter_n but_o that_o in_o like_a sort_n quality_n may_v be_v change_v into_o substance_n no_o

say_v that_o the_o power_n which_o be_v in_o the_o seed_n be_v increase_v by_o little_a and_o little_a until_o it_o come_v to_o full_a perfection_n theophra_v but_o i_o pray_v you_o tell_v i_o by_o what_o act_v force_n and_o provoke_a power_n do_v they_o say_v that_o increase_n be_v give_v philadelph_n alexander_n answer_v you_o that_o first_o there_o be_v infuse_v into_o the_o seed_n a_o certain_a beginning_n of_o motion_n which_o by_o a_o force_n take_v from_o the_o beget_n act_v until_o it_o come_v to_o some_o end_n and_o until_o by_o a_o continue_a increase_n it_o have_v perfect_v

object_n and_o say_v that_o there_o be_v give_v to_o the_o beget_n seed_n a_o certain_a force_n and_o beginning_n of_o motion_n do_v they_o understand_v that_o this_o begin_n of_o motion_n be_v power_n philadelph_n yes_o very_o they_o do_v theophra_v and_o do_v they_o say_v that_o the_o same_o beginning_n which_o be_v power_n do_v act_n continual_o and_o that_o it_o do_v proceed_v from_o the_o first_o enter_v nature_n to_o the_o last_o consummate_v whereunto_o nothing_o can_v be_v add_v which_o we_o deny_v to_o be_v the_o high_a and_o most_o perfect_a philadelph_n they_o do_v so_o theophra_v and_o do_v they_o constant_o affirm_v that_o this_o power_n be_v a_o quality_n philadelph_n they_o affirm_v that_o aristotle_n say_v so_o theophra_v but_o no_o quality_n can_v at_o the_o first_o and_o by_o itself_o act_n but_o every_o action_n belong_v to_o the_o form_n that_o have_v get_v substance_n which_o be_v a_o certain_a efficient_a beginning_n philadelph_n they_o deny_v not_o this_o theophra_v see_v therefore_o they_o say_v that_o power_n be_v increase_v by_o little_a and_o little_a until_o a_o perfect_a form_n be_v make_v to_o what_o form_n shall_v it_o first_o of_o all_o be_v ascribe_v philadelph_n you_o must_v herein_o answer_v yourself_o for_o i_o can_v go_v no_o further_o theophra_v we_o say_v that_o in_o seed_n there_o be_v only_o three_o thing_n namely_o matter_n form_n and_o power_n do_v then_o that_o action_n of_o power_n lead_v at_o the_o first_o to_o the_o form_n of_o seed_n philadelph_n whereto_o else_o shall_v it_o lead_v theophra_v but_o that_o can_v be_v philadelph_n what_o be_v the_o cause_n theophra_v because_o whatsoever_o act_v act_v to_o this_o end_n that_o he_o may_v make_v the_o patient_a object_n like_o himself_o neither_o do_v the_o form_n which_o be_v in_o the_o seed_n intend_v any_o other_o thing_n but_o that_o it_o may_v generate_v another_o seed_n out_o of_o itself_o philadelph_n i_o know_v this_o well_o enough_o before_o but_o the_o consequence_n of_o the_o matter_n have_v enforce_v i_o not_o to_o deny_v it_o now_o therefore_o i_o give_v place_n and_o yet_o i_o affirm_v that_o the_o power_n which_o be_v in_o seed_n do_v increase_v itself_o by_o his_o own_o force_n neither_o do_v it_o desire_v any_o external_a help_n for_o albeit_o the_o same_o power_n be_v think_v to_o be_v a_o quality_n yet_o be_v it_o of_o a_o more_o high_a degree_n then_o be_v other_o for_o the_o which_o cause_n aristotle_n have_v call_v the_o same_o a_o natural_a power_n because_o as_o it_o be_v partaker_n of_o quality_n so_o also_o after_o a_o sort_n it_o be_v also_o partaker_n of_o nature_n wherefore_o in_o my_o opinion_n who_o so_o say_v that_o the_o same_o can_v do_v any_o thing_n of_o itself_o shall_v utter_v no_o absurdity_n theophra_v these_o be_v wonderful_a shift_n be_v of_o what_o opinion_n you_o will_v only_o know_v this_o if_o power_n do_v act_n at_o the_o first_o and_o by_o itself_o when_o it_o increase_v and_o finish_v itself_o it_o bring_v no_o other_o thing_n to_o pass_v but_o such_o another_o power_n as_o it_o be_v itself_o neither_o can_v it_o though_o it_o be_v increase_v bring_v form_n out_o of_o itself_o out_o of_o the_o seed_n as_o out_o of_o the_o subject_n be_v engender_v a_o live_a creature_n or_o a_o plant_n but_o there_o be_v never_o any_o in_o the_o rank_n of_o the_o best_a philosopher_n which_o hold_v that_o power_n shall_v make_v form_n or_o that_o a_o live_a creature_n be_v generate_v by_o the_o force_n of_o seed_n philadelph_n and_o why_o so_o theophra_v that_o which_o be_v not_o yet_o but_o shall_v be_v hereafter_o be_v not_o now_o simple_o in_o be_v but_o how_o can_v that_o which_o be_v not_o be_v say_v to_o beget_v any_o other_o thing_n how_o then_o think_v you_o can_v it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o the_o power_n which_o be_v in_o seed_n shall_v procreate_v form_n if_o as_o yet_o the_o same_o form_n be_v not_o in_o it_o or_o that_o the_o seed_n which_o be_v not_o yet_o that_o live_a creature_n shall_v effect_v a_o live_a creature_n for_o if_o any_o thing_n be_v to_o be_v beget_v out_o of_o these_o there_o must_v be_v some_o other_o thing_n put_v of_o necessity_n which_o in_o act_n may_v obtain_v form_n and_o which_o may_v be_v the_o first_o efficient_a and_o chief_a cause_n of_o this_o procreation_n the_o which_o when_o aristotle_n deep_o consider_v he_o decree_v that_o there_o be_v a_o twofold_a nature_n in_o the_o procreation_n of_o live_a creature_n and_o of_o their_o offspring_n one_o more_o imperfect_a which_o be_v make_v in_o seed_n and_o be_v not_o yet_o another_o more_o perfect_a which_o be_v in_o act_n be_v simple_o such_o a_o effectrix_fw-la as_o it_o be_v in_o that_o from_o whence_o the_o seed_n do_v spring_v the_o place_n be_v in_o the_o second_o book_n concern_v the_o procreation_n of_o live_a creature_n where_o he_o put_v a_o difference_n between_o nature_n and_o art_n in_o these_o word_n art_n

that_o which_o be_v in_o act_n this_o sentence_n simplicius_n have_v expound_v more_o large_o in_o these_o word_n or_o to_o this_o effect_n the_o nature_n and_o cause_n of_o every_o motion_n make_v

the_o force_n of_o effect_v which_o be_v such_o in_o act_n because_o nature_n be_v the_o procreatrix_n of_o that_o which_o be_v like_o itself_o thus_o philadelph_n you_o see_v that_o the_o force_n of_o the_o seed_n which_o we_o say_v be_v call_v power_n can_v be_v turn_v into_o the_o form_n of_o a_o live_a creature_n how_o well_o so_o ever_o it_o fit_v itself_o or_o adorn_v itself_o but_o

before_o you_o finish_v this_o matter_n it_o be_v convenient_a that_o you_o explain_v one_o thing_n which_o all_o philosopher_n have_v approve_v namely_o that_o the_o form_n of_o every_o thing_n be_v bring_v forth_o out_o of_o the_o power_n of_o the_o subject_n
hot_a and_o cold_a think_v that_o all_o thing_n be_v make_v of_o these_o and_o by_o these_o makeeh_o it_o plain_a by_o demonstration_n that_o those_o quality_n be_v only_a instrument_n of_o a_o
