such_o a_o one_o as_o the_o mind_n perceive_v a_o necessary_a connexion_n between_o it_o and_o its_o effect_n it_o be_v that_o i_o mean_v now_o there_o be_v only_o the_o infinite_o perfect_a be_v

the_o power_n of_o move_a body_n i_o say_v moreover_o it_o be_v not_o probable_a that_o god_n shall_v communicate_v either_o to_o man_n or_o angel_n this_o power_n he_o have_v of_o move_a body_n and_o those_o who_o pretend_v the_o power_n we_o have_v of_o move_v our_o arm_n be_v a_o true_a power_n must_v confess_v that_o god_n can_v also_o give_v to_o spirit_n the_o power_n of_o create_v annihilate_v and_o perform_v all_o possible_a thing_n in_o a_o word_n that_o he_o can_v make_v they_o almighty_a as_o i_o shall_v further_o show_v god_n have_v no_o need_n of_o any_o instrument_n to_o

power_n then_o be_v his_o will_n and_o the_o communicate_v of_o his_o power_n be_v a_o communication_n of_o his_o will._n but_o to_o communicate_v his_o will_n to_o a_o man_n or_o a_o angel_n can_v

will_n which_o concur_v when_o a_o angel_n will_v move_v a_o body_n that_o of_o god_n and_o that_o of_o the_o angel_n and_o to_o know_v which_o of_o the_o two_o will_v be_v the_o true_a cause_n of_o the_o motion_n of_o this_o body_n we_o must_v know_v which_o it_o be_v that_o be_v efficacious_a there_o be_v a_o necessary_a connexion_n between_o the_o will_n of_o god_n and_o what_o he_o wi_n god_n will_v in_o this_o case_n that_o a_o body_n shall_v move_v when_o it_o be_v will_v by_o a_o angel_n there_o be_v a_o necessary_a connexion_n therefore_o between_o the._n will_n of_o god_n and_o the_o

therefore_o his_o first_o element_n be_v much_o more_o agitate_a than_o the_o second_o and_o the_o second_o than_o the_o three_o but_o the_o cause_n of_o it_o be_v clear_a without_o have_v any_o regard_n to_o his_o supposition_n little_o and_o fluid_a body_n as_o water_n air_n etc._n etc._n can_v only_o communicate_v to_o great_a body_n a_o uniform_a motion_n which_o be_v common_a to_o all_o

be_v compose_v and_o every_o one_o of_o these_o part_n beside_o this_o common_a motion_n have_v also_o a_o infinite_a number_n of_o other_o particular_n thus_o by_o this_o reason_n it_o be_v plain_a that_o a_o boat_n for_o instance_n can_v never_o have_v so_o much_o motion_n as_o a_o equal_a bulk_n of_o water_n since_o the_o boat_n can_v only_o receive_v from_o the_o water_n that_o motion_n

for_o a_o explanation_n of_o these_o thing_n to_o suppose_v any_o force_n in_o rest_n to_o resist_v motion_n the_o certainty_n of_o descartes_n principle_n can_v be_v a_o sufficient_a proof_n to_o

the_o hardness_n of_o body_n only_o to_o the_o rest_n of_o their_o part_n and_o their_o elasticity_n to_o the_o force_n of_o a_o subtle_a matter_n here_o follow_v now_o the_o rule_n of_o the_o

the_o force_n of_o the_o most_o weighty_a burden_n we_o can_v bear_v and_o that_o if_o we_o can_v carry_v the_o heavy_a the_o defect_n of_o the_o power_n proceed_v not_o so_o much_o from_o the_o spirit_n as_o that_o of_o the_o fibre_n and_o membrane_n that_o compose_v the_o muscle_n which_o will_v break_v if_o we_o make_v too_o great_a a_o effort_n beside_o if_o we_o observe_v that_o by_o the_o law_n of_o the_o union_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o body_n the_o motion_n of_o these_o spirit_n as_o to_o their_o determination_n depend_v upon_o the_o will_n of_o man_n we_o shall_v plain_o see_v that_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o arm_n must_v be_v voluntary_a it_o be_v true_a we_o remove_v our_o arm_n with_o so_o much_o quickness_n that_o at_o first_o it_o seem_v incredible_a that_o the_o effusion_n of_o the_o spirit_n in_o the_o muscle_n which_o compose_v they_o shall_v be_v quick_a enough_o to_o produce_v such_o a_o motion_n but_o we_o must_v consider_v that_o these_o spirit_n be_v extreme_o agitate_a always_o ready_a to_o go_v from_o one_o muscle_n to_o another_o and_o that_o there_o be_v not_o need_v of_o many_o to_o swell_v they_o up_o so_o little_a as_o be_v necessary_a to_o move_v they_o only_o or_o when_o we_o lift_v any_o thing_n that_o be_v very_a light_n from_o the_o ground_n for_o when_o we_o have_v any_o thing_n heavy_a to_o lift_v we_o can_v do_v it_o so_o speedy_o burden_n be_v heavy_a will_v much_o swell_v and_o stretch_v the_o muscle_n to_o swell_v they_o up_o after_o this_o manner_n require_v more_o spirit_n than_o there_o be_v in_o the_o adjoin_a or_o opposite_a muscle_n there_o must_v therefore_o be_v some_o little_a time_n to_o collect_v these_o spirit_n in_o a_o quantity_n sufficient_a to_o resist_v this_o weight_n so_o that_o those_o which_o be_v lade_v can_v run_v and_o those_o that_o take_v any_o weighty_a thing_n from_o the_o ground_n can_v do_v it_o with_o so_o much_o haste_n as_o those_o who_o take_v up_o a_o straw_n if_o we_o further_o reflect_v that_o those_o that_o have_v more_o heat_n or_o a_o little_a wine_n in_o their_o head_n be_v much_o quick_a than_o other_o as_o among_o animal_n those_o who_o spirit_n be_v more_o agitate_a as_o bird_n move_v more_o swift_o than_o they_o that_o have_v their_o blood_n cold_a like_a frog_n and_o that_o even_o among_o they_o there_o be_v some_o as_o the_o chameleon_n the_o tortoise_n and_o other_o infect_v who_o spirit_n be_v so_o little_a agitate_a that_o their_o muscle_n fill_v not_o fast_o than_o a_o little_a football_n which_o we_o shall_v blow_v up_o if_o we_o well_o consider_v all_o these_o thing_n it_o may_v be_v we_o may_v think_v the_o explanation_n already_o give_v fit_a to_o be_v receive_v but_o although_o this_o part_n of_o the_o propose_a question_n which_o regard_v voluntary_a motion_n be_v sufficient_o resolve_v we_o must_v not_o however_o affirm_v that_o it_o be_v whole_o so_o and_o that_o there_o be_v nothing_o more_o in_o our_o body_n which_o contribute_v to_o these_o motion_n than_o what_o we_o have_v attribute_v to_o it_o for_o there_o be_v probable_o in_o our_o muscle_n a_o thousand_o spring_n which_o facilitate_v these_o motion_n and_o will_v be_v eternal_o unknown_a to_o those_o even_o who_o make_v the_o strict_a scrutiny_n into_o the_o work_n of_o god_n the_o second_o part_n of_o the_o question_n which_o must_v be_v examine_v respect_v natural_a motion_n or_o those_o sort_n of_o motion_n which_o have_v nothing_o extraordinary_a as_o the_o convulsive_a have_v but_o that_o be_v absolute_o necessary_a to_o the_o preservation_n of_o our_o machine_n which_o consequent_o depend_v not_o entire_o upon_o our_o wi_n i_o consider_v then_o first_o with_o all_o the_o attention_n i_o be_o capable_a what_o the_o motion_n be_v which_o have_v these_o condition_n and_o if_o they_o be_v whole_o alike_o but_o because_o i_o immediate_o discover_v that_o almost_o all_o of_o they_o differ_v one_o from_o another_o not_o to_o perplex_v myself_o with_o too_o many_o thing_n i_o only_o insist_v upon_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o heart_n this_o part_n be_v the_o most_o know_v and_o its_o motion_n most_o sensible_a i_o then_o examine_v its_o structure_n and_o among_o many_o other_o observe_v two_o thing_n the_o first_o that_o it_o be_v compose_v of_o fibres_n like_o other_o muscle_n the_o second_o that_o there_o be_v two_o very_a considerable_a cavity_n in_o it_o i_o therefore_o judge_v that_o its_o motion_n may_v be_v perform_v by_o the_o animal_n spirit_n because_o it_o be_v a_o muscle_n and_o that_o the_o blood_n there_o ferment_n and_o dilate_v its_o self_n since_o there_o be_v cavity_n there_o the_o first_o of_o these_o determination_n be_v found_v upon_o what_o i_o have_v already_o say_v and_o the_o second_o because_o the_o heart_n be_v much_o hot_a than_o all_o the_o other_o part_n of_o the_o body_n as_o it_o be_v that_o which_o disperse_v heat_n with_o the_o blood_n into_o all_o our_o member_n that_o these_o two_o cavity_n can_v neither_o have_v be_v form_v nor_o preferve_v but_o only_o by_o the_o dilatation_n of_o the_o blood_n and_o that_o thus_o they_o be_v serviceable_a to_o the_o cause_n which_o produce_v they_o i_o can_v then_o give_v a_o sufficient_a reason_n for_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o heart_n by_o the_o spirit_n which_o agitate_v it_o and_o the_o blood_n which_o dilate_v it_o when_o this_o blood_n be_v ferment_v for_o although_o the_o cause_n i_o bring_v for_o its_o motion_n shall_v not_o perhaps_o be_v true_a yet_o it_o appear_v certain_a to_o i_o that_o it_o be_v sufficient_a to_o produce_v it_o it_o be_v true_a that_o the_o principle_n of_o the_o
