they_o will_v hardly_o find_v out_o the_o interior_a nature_n of_o our_o fex_n by_o the_o exterior_a form_n of_o their_o face_n or_o countenance_n although_o very_o curious_a and_o full_a of_o

have_v do_v they_o rather_o present_v monstrous_a then_o true_o natural_a figure_n wherefore_o those_o in_o my_o opinion_n be_v the_o best_a artist_n that_o keep_v near_o to_o nature_n rule_n and_o endeavour_v not_o to_o know_v more_o than_o what_o be_v possible_a for_o a_o finite_a part_n or_o creature_n to_o know_v for_o sure_o there_o be_v no_o better_a way_n to_o be_v right_o and_o true_o inform_v of_o nature_n work_n then_o by_o study_v nature_n corporeal_a figurative_a motion_n by_o the_o mean_n of_o which_o study_n they_o will_v practice_v art_n as_o far_o as_o art_n be_v able_a to_o be_v practise_v more_o easy_o and_o successful_o than_o they_o will_v do_v without_o it_o but_o to_o conclude_v this_o discourse_n some_o part_n of_o nature_n be_v more_o endue_v with_o regular_a reason_n than_o other_o which_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o some_o creature_n of_o one_o and_o the_o same_o fort_n or_o kind_n as_o for_o example_n mankind_n be_v more_o wife_n and_o ingenious_a than_o other_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o art_n but_o regular_a sense_n and_o reason_n that_o make_v some_o more_o know_v and_o some_o more_o wife_n and_o ingenious_a than_o other_o and_o the_o

nature_n some_o account_n it_o a_o great_a honour_n that_o the_o indulgent_a creator_n although_o he_o give_v not_o to_o natural_a creature_n the_o power_n to_o produce_v one_o atom_n of_o matter_n yet_o allow_v they_o the_o power_n to_o introduce_v so_o many_o form_n which_o philosopher_n teach_v to_o be_v noble_a than_o matter_n and_o to_o work_v such_o change_n among_o creature_n that_o if_o

and_o other_o well_o furnish_v magazine_n of_o art_n he_o will_v admire_v to_o see_v what_o a_o new_a world_n it_o be_v where_o first_o i_o do_v not_o understand_v how_o man_n or_o any_o other_o creature_n shall_v have_v the_o power_n of_o make_v or_o introduce_v new_a form_n if_o those_o form_n be_v not_o already_o in_o nature_n for_o no_o creature_n by_o any_o art_n whatsoever_o be_v able_a to_o produce_v a_o new_a form_n no_o more_o than_o he_o can_v make_v a_o atom_n of_o new_a matter_n by_o reason_n the_o power_n lie_v in_o nature_n and_o the_o god_n of_o nature_n not_o in_o any_o of_o her_o creature_n and_o if_o art_n may_v or_o can_v work_v change_n among_o some_o fellow-creature_n they_o be_v but_o natural_a by_o reason_n nature_n be_v in_o a_o perpetual_a motion_n and_o in_o some_o part_n in_o a_o perpetual_a transformation_n next_o as_o for_o the_o question_n whether_o form_n be_v more_o noble_a than_o the_o matter_n my_o opinion_n be_v that_o this_o can_v with_o no_o more_o ground_n of_o truth_n be_v affirm_v then_o that_o the_o effect_n be_v noble_a than_o its_o cause_n and_o if_o any_o creature_n shall_v have_v power_n to_o make_v form_n which_o be_v more_o noble_a than_o matter_n itself_o then_o certain_o that_o creature_n will_v be_v above_o nature_n and_o a_o creator_n rather_o than_o a_o creature_n beside_o form_n can_v be_v create_v without_o matter_n nor_o matter_n without_o form_n for_o form_n be_v no_o thing_n subsist_v by_o itself_o without_o matter_n but_o matter_n and_o form_n make_v but_o one_o body_n and_o therefore_o he_o that_o introduce_v a_o new_a form_n must_v also_o introduce_v a_o new_a matter_n and_o though_o art_n change_v form_n yet_o it_o can_v be_v say_v to_o introduce_v a_o new_a form_n for_o form_n be_v and_o have_v be_v eternal_o in_o nature_n as_o well_o as_o matter_n so_o that_o nothing_o be_v create_v anew_o which_o never_o be_v in_o nature_n before_o it_o be_v true_a if_o adam_n be_v alive_a now_o he_o may_v see_v more_o variety_n but_o not_o more_o truth_n for_o there_o be_v no_o more_o kind_n and_o sort_n of_o natural_a creature_n than_o there_o be_v at_o his_o time_n though_o never_o more_o metamorphose_v or_o rather_o i_o may_v say_v disfigure_v unnatural_a and_o hermaphroditical_a issue_n then_o there_o be_v now_o which_o if_o they_o shall_v make_v a_o new_a world_n by_o the_o architecture_n of_o art_n it_o will_v be_v a_o very_a monstruous_a one_o but_o i_o be_o sure_a art_n will_v never_o do_v it_o for_o the_o world_n be_v still_o as_o it_o be_v and_o new_a discovery_n by_o art_n or_o the_o death_n and_o birth_n of_o creature_n will_v not_o make_v a_o new_a world_n nor_o destroy_v the_o old_a no_o more_o than_o the_o dissolve_v and_o compose_v of_o several_a part_n will_v make_v new_a matter_n for_o although_o nature_n delight_v in_o variety_n yet_o she_o be_v constant_a in_o her_o groundwork_n and_o it_o be_v a_o great_a error_n in_o man_n to_o study_v more_o the_o exterior_a face_n and_o countenance_n of_o thing_n than_o their_o interior_a natural_a figurative_a motion_n which_o error_n must_v undoubted_o cause_v great_a mistake_n in_o so_o much_o as_o man_n rule_n will_v be_v false_a compare_v to_o the_o true_a principle_n of_o nature_n for_o it_o be_v a_o false_a maxim_n to_o believe_v that_o if_o some_o creature_n have_v power_n over_o other_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

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

such_o thing_n as_o first_o and_o last_o in_o nature_n but_o that_o they_o be_v only_o such_o pure_a and_o rare_a part_n of_o inanimate_a matter_n as_o be_v not_o subject_a to_o the_o exterior_a 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

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

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

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

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

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

be_v say_v principle_n of_o the_o universe_n for_o whatsoever_o consist_v of_o thing_n apparent_a to_o sense_n be_v compound_v of_o thing_n not_o apparent_a and_o a_o principle_n must_v not_o consist_v of_o any_o thing_n but_o be_v that_o of_o which_o the_o thing_n consist_v to_o which_o i_o answer_v first_o i_o can_v conceive_v what_o they_o mean_v by_o thing_n apparent_a to_o sense_n if_o they_o mean_v the_o sensitive_a organ_n of_o humane_a creature_n they_o be_v mistake_v for_o there_o may_v be_v and_o be_v real_o many_o thing_n in_o nature_n which_o be_v not_o apparent_a to_o humane_a sense_n and_o yet_o be_v not_o principle_n but_o natural_a effect_n wherefore_o not_o all_o thing_n that_o be_v not_o apparent_a to_o humane_a sense_n be_v principle_n of_o nature_n beside_o there_o may_v be_v many_o other_o creature_n which_o do_v far_o exceed_v man_n or_o animal_n in_o their_o sensitive_a perception_n and_o if_o thing_n be_v not_o subject_a to_o humane_a sense_n they_o may_v be_v subject_a to_o the_o sense_n of_o other_o creature_n but_o if_o by_o sense_n they_o mean_v the_o sensitive_a life_n of_o nature_n they_o commit_v a_o far_o great_a error_n for_o there_o be_v nothing_o which_o be_v not_o subject_a or_o have_v a_o participation_n of_o this_o universal_a sense_n in_o nature_n as_o well_o as_o of_o reason_n it_o be_v true_a particular_a sense_n can_v perceive_v the_o infinite_a figurative_a motion_n of_o nature_n neither_o can_v the_o subtle_a sense_n have_v a_o perception_n of_o the_o interior_a innate_a figurative_a motion_n of_o any_o other_o

nature_n but_o you_o will_v say_v how_o can_v infinite_a be_v a_o principle_n of_o particular_a finites_n i_o answer_v as_o well_o as_o the_o infinite_a god_n can_v be_v the_o author_n of_o nature_n and_o all_o natural_a being_n which_o though_o they_o be_v finite_a in_o their_o particular_a figure_n yet_o their_o number_n be_v infinite_a 2._o concern_v the_o number_n of_o pythagoras_n which_o

be_v principle_n so_o neither_o can_v number_n for_o self-moving_a matter_n which_o be_v the_o only_a principle_n of_o nature_n be_v infinite_a and_o there_o be_v no_o more_o principle_n but_o this_o one_o it_o be_v true_a regular_a composition_n and_o division_n be_v make_v by_o consent_n of_o part_n and_o presuppose_v number_n and_o harmony_n but_o number_n and_o harmony_n can_v be_v the_o

no_o sense_n nor_o reason_n true_o there_o can_v be_v no_o motion_n without_o sense_n nor_o no_o orderly_a motion_n without_o reason_n and_o though_o epicurus_n atom_n may_v move_v by_o chance_n without_o reason_n yet_o they_o can_v not_o move_v in_o a_o concord_n or_o harmony_n not_o know_v what_o they_o be_v to_o do_v or_o why_o or_o whither_o they_o move_v nay_o if_o they_o have_v no_o sense_n it_o be_v impossible_a they_o shall_v have_v motion_n and_o therefore_o in_o my_o opinion_n it_o be_v the_o rational_a and_o sensitive_a part_n which_o by_o consent_n make_v number_n and_o harmony_n and_o those_o that_o will_v deny_v this_o sensitive_a and_o rational_a self-moving_a matter_n must_v deny_v the_o principle_n of_o motion_n and_o of_o all_o constant_a succession_n of_o all_o sort_n and_o kind_n of_o creature_n nay_o of_o all_o the_o variety_n that_o be_v in_o nature_n indeed_o i_o be_o puzzle_v to_o understand_v learned_a man_n what_o they_o mean_v by_o principle_n by_o reason_n i_o see_v that_o they_o so_o frequent_o call_v principle_n those_o which_o be_v but_o effect_n of_o nature_n some_o count_v the_o element_n principle_n some_o number_n some_o idea_n some_o atom_n and_o the_o like_a and_o by_o their_o different_a opinion_n they_o confirm_v that_o there_o be_v as_o well_o discord_n and_o division_n as_o there_o be_v concord_n and_o composition_n of_o the_o part_n of_o nature_n for_o if_o this_o be_v not_o there_o will_v be_v no_o contrary_a action_n and_o consequent_o no_o variety_n of_o figure_n and_o motion_n 3._o whatsoever_o be_v comprehend_v by_o man_n say_v pythagoras_n be_v either_o body_n or_o incorporeal_a among_o which_o incorporeal_v he_o reckon_v also_o time_n but_o this_o opinion_n be_v contradict_v by_o regular_a

the_o like_a they_o be_v one_o and_o the_o same_o with_o body_n which_o be_v so_o how_o can_v they_o be_v incorporeal_a neither_o be_v it_o possible_a that_o incorporeal_a being_n shall_v be_v

of_o itself_o it_o be_v not_o improbable_a but_o it_o may_v also_o have_v a_o interior_a fix_v and_o innate_a knowledge_n of_o the_o existency_n of_o god_n as_o that_o he_o be_v to_o be_v adore_v

probable_a that_o god_n have_v endue_v all_o part_n of_o nature_n with_o self-knowledg_n may_v have_v give_v they_o also_o a_o interior_n knowledge_n of_o himself_o that_o be_v of_o his_o existency_n how_o he_o be_v the_o god_n of_o nature_n and_o aught_o to_o be_v worship_v by_o she_o as_o his_o eternal_a servant_n my_o late_a thought_n except_v that_o not_o any_o creature_n do_v true_o know_v

be_v compose_v of_o many_o several_a part_n and_o every_o part_n have_v its_o own_o particular_a self-knowledg_n as_o well_o as_o self-motion_n which_o cause_v a_o ignorance_n between_o they_o for_o

nevertheless_o each_o part_n know_v itself_o and_o its_o own_o action_n and_o as_o there_o be_v a_o ignorance_n between_o part_n so_o there_o be_v also_o a_o acquaintance_n especial_o in_o the_o

execution_n of_o such_o action_n as_o belong_v to_o it_o but_o how_o be_v it_o possible_a reply_v my_o late_a thought_n that_o the_o inanimate_a part_n of_o matter_n can_v be_v live_v and_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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

37._o several_a question_n and_o answer_n concern_v knowledge_n and_o perception_n i_o be_o not_o ignorant_a that_o endless_a question_n and_o objection_n may_v be_v raise_v upon_o one_o subject_n and_o to_o answer_v they_o will_v be_v a_o infinite_a labour_n but_o since_o i_o desire_v to_o be_v perspicuous_a in_o deliver_v my_o opinion_n and_o to_o remove_v all_o those_o scruple_n which_o seem_v to_o obstruct_v the_o sense_n thereof_o i_o have_v choose_v rather_o to_o be_v guilty_a of_o prolixity_n and_o repetition_n then_o to_o be_v obscure_a by_o too_o much_o brevity_n and_o therefore_o i_o will_v add_v to_o my_o former_a discourse_n of_o knowledge_n and_o perception_n the_o resolution_n of_o these_o follow_a question_n which_o i_o hope_v will_v render_v it_o more_o intelligible_a q._n 1._o what_o difference_n be_v there_o between_o self-knowledg_n and_o perception_n i_o answer_v there_o be_v as_o much_o difference_n betwixt_o they_o as_o betwixt_o a_o whole_a and_o its_o part_n or_o a_o cause_n and_o its_o effect_n for_o though_o self-motion_n be_v the_o occasional_a cause_n of_o particular_a perception_n by_o reason_n it_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o all_o particular_a action_n of_o nature_n and_o of_o the_o variety_n of_o figure_n yet_o self-knowledg_n be_v the_o ground_n or_o fundamental_a cause_n of_o perception_n for_o be_v there_o not selfknowledg_o selfknowledg_v there_o can_v not_o be_v perception_n by_o reason_n perception_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o particular_a exterior_a knowledge_n or_o knowledge_n of_o exterior_a part_n and_o action_n occasion_v by_o the_o various_a composition_n and_o division_n of_o part_n so_o that_o self-moving_a matter_n have_v a_o perceptive_a self-knowledg_n and_o consist_v of_o infinite_a part_n those_o part_n have_v particular_a self-knowledge_n and_o perception_n according_a to_o the_o variety_n of_o the_o corporeal_a figurative_a motion_n which_o as_o they_o be_v particular_a can_v 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 but_o a_o finite_a can_v know_v a_o infinite_a nevertheless_o when_o many_o part_n be_v regular_o compose_v those_o part_n by_o a_o conjunction_n or_o union_n of_o their_o particular_a self-knowledge_n and_o perception_n of_o each_o other_o may_v know_v more_o and_o so_o judge_v more_o probable_o of_o infinite_a as_o i_o have_v declare_v above_o but_o as_o for_o single_a part_n there_o be_v no_o such_o thing_n in_o nature_n no_o more_o than_o there_o can_v be_v a_o infinite_a part_n q._n 2._o whether_o the_o inanimate_a part_n of_o matter_n may_v not_o have_v self-knowledg_n as_o well_o as_o the_o animate_v i_o answer_v that_o in_o my_o opinion_n and_o according_a to_o the_o conception_n of_o my_o sense_n and_o reason_n the_o inanimate_a part_n of_o matter_n have_v self-knowledg_n as_o well_o as_o the_o animate_v but_o not_o perception_n for_o it_o be_v only_o the_o animate_v part_n of_o matter_n that_o be_v perceptive_a and_o this_o animate_v matter_n be_v of_o a_o twofold_a degree_n sensitive_a and_o rational_a the_o rational_a not_o be_v encumber_v with_o the_o inanimate_a part_n have_v a_o more_o clear_a and_o free_a perception_n than_o the_o sensitive_a which_o be_v well_o to_o be_v observe_v for_o though_o the_o rational_a sensitive_a and_o inanimate_a part_n of_o matter_n make_v but_o one_o infinite_a self-moving_a body_n of_o nature_n yet_o there_o be_v infinite_a particular_a self-knowledge_n for_o nature_n be_v divide_v into_o infinite_a part_n and_o all_o part_n of_o nature_n be_v self-knowing_a but_o as_o all_o be_v not_o animate_v so_o all_o be_v not_o perceptive_a for_o perception_n though_o it_o proceed_v from_o self-knowledg_n as_o its_o ground_n or_o principle_n yet_o it_o be_v also_o a_o effect_n of_o self-motion_n for_o be_v there_o no_o self-motion_n there_o will_v be_v no_o perception_n and_o because_o nature_n be_v self-moving_a all_o her_o part_n be_v so_o too_o and_o as_o all_o her_o part_n be_v move_v so_o they_o have_v all_o composition_n and_o division_n and_o as_o all_o be_v subject_a to_o composition_n and_o division_n so_o all_o have_v variety_n of_o self-knowledg_n so_o that_o no_o part_n can_v be_v ignorant_a and_o by_o reason_n self-knowledg_n be_v the_o ground_n and_o principle_n of_o perception_n it_o know_v all_o the_o effect_n by_o the_o variety_n of_o their_o change_n therefore_o the_o inanimate_a part_n of_o matter_n may_v for_o any_o thing_n i_o know_v or_o perceive_v be_v as_o know_v as_o the_o other_o part_n of_o nature_n for_o although_o it_o be_v the_o gross_a part_n and_o so_o the_o dull_a want_v self-motion_n yet_o by_o the_o various_a division_n and_o composition_n which_o the_o animate_v part_n do_v make_v the_o inanimate_a may_v be_v as_o know_v as_o the_o animate_v but_o some_o may_v say_v if_o inanimate_a matter_n be_v know_v of_o itself_o than_o it_o will_v also_o be_v sensible_a of_o itself_o i_o answer_v self-knowledg_n be_v so_o far_o sensible_a of_o itself_o that_o it_o know_v itself_o and_o therefore_o the_o inanimate_a part_n of_o matter_n be_v self-knowing_a may_v be_v sensible_a of_o its_o own_o self-knowledg_n but_o yet_o it_o be_v not_o such_o a_o sense_n as_o self-moving_a matter_n have_v that_o be_v a_o perceptive_a sense_n for_o the_o difference_n of_o animate_v and_o inanimate_a matter_n consist_v herein_o that_o one_o be_v self-moving_a and_o consequent_o perceptive_a but_o the_o other_o not_o and_o as_o animate_v matter_n be_v self-moving_a as_o well_o as_o self-knowing_a so_o it_o be_v the_o chief_a and_o architectonical_a part_n of_o nature_n which_o cause_v all_o the_o variety_n that_o be_v in_o nature_n for_o without_o animate_v matter_n there_o can_v be_v no_o composition_n and_o division_n and_o so_o no_o variety_n and_o without_o inanimate_a matter_n there_o can_v not_o be_v such_o solid_a composition_n of_o part_n as_o there_o be_v for_o the_o animate_v part_n of_o matter_n can_v be_v so_o gross_a as_o the_o inanimate_a and_o therefore_o without_o these_o degree_n there_o will_v be_v no_o variety_n of_o figure_n nor_o no_o composition_n of_o solid_a figure_n as_o animal_n vegetable_n mineral_n etc._n etc._n so_o that_o those_o effect_n which_o our_o sense_n and_o reason_n perceive_v can_v not_o be_v without_o the_o degree_n of_o animate_v and_o inanimate_a matter_n neither_o can_v there_o be_v perception_n without_o animate_v matter_n by_o which_o all_o the_o various_a effect_n of_o nature_n be_v perceive_v for_o though_o one_o creature_n can_v perceive_v all_o the_o effect_n yet_o the_o infinite_a part_n of_o nature_n by_o their_o infinite_a action_n perceive_v infinite_o again_o some_o may_v
be_v deny_v to_o be_v material_a they_o can_v neither_o be_v account_v irrational_a insensible_a or_o inanimate_a by_o reason_n there_o be_v no_o part_n nay_o not_o the_o small_a particle_n in_o nature_n our_o reason_n be_v able_a to_o conceive_v which_o be_v not_o compose_v of_o animate_v matter_n as_o well_o as_o of_o inanimate_a of_o life_n and_o soul_n as_o well_o as_o of_o body_n and_o therefore_o no_o particular_a creature_n can_v claim_v a_o prerogative_n in_o this_o case_n before_o a_o other_o for_o there_o be_v a_o thorough_a mixture_n of_o animate_v and_o inanimate_a matter_n in_o nature_n and_o all_o her_o part_n but_o some_o may_v object_v that_o if_o there_o be_v sense_n and_o reason_n in_o every_o part_n of_o nature_n it_o must_v be_v in_o all_o part_n alike_o and_o then_o a_o stone_n or_o any_o other_o the_o like_a creature_n may_v have_v reason_n or_o a_o rational_a soul_n as_o well_o as_o man._n to_o which_o i_o answer_v i_o do_v not_o deny_v that_o a_o stone_n have_v reason_n or_o do_v partake_v of_o the_o rational_a soul_n of_o nature_n as_o well_o as_o man_n do_v because_o it_o be_v part_n of_o the_o same_o matter_n man_n consist_v of_o but_o yet_o it_o have_v not_o animal_n or_o humane_a sense_n and_o reason_n because_o it_o be_v not_o of_o animal_n kind_a but_o be_v a_o mineral_n it_o have_v mineral_n sense_n and_o reason_n for_o it_o be_v to_o be_v observe_v that_o as_o animate_v self-moving_a matter_n move_v not_o one_o and_o the_o same_o way_n in_o all_o creature_n so_o there_o can_v neither_o be_v the_o same_o way_n of_o knowledge_n and_o understanding_n which_o be_v sense_n and_o reason_n in_o all_o creature_n alike_o but_o nature_n be_v various_a not_o only_o in_o her_o part_n but_o in_o her_o action_n it_o cause_v a_o variety_n also_o among_o her_o creature_n and_o hence_o come_v so_o many_o kind_n sort_n and_o particular_n of_o natural_a creature_n quite_o different_a from_o each_o other_o though_o not_o in_o the_o general_n and_o universal_a principle_n of_o nature_n which_o be_v self-moving_a matter_n for_o in_o this_o they_o agree_v all_o yet_o in_o their_o particular_a interior_a nature_n figure_n and_o propriety_n thus_o although_o there_o be_v sense_n and_o reason_n which_o be_v not_o only_a motion_n but_o a_o regular_a and_o well-ordered_a self-motion_n apparent_a in_o the_o wonderful_a and_o various_a production_n generation_n transformation_n dissolution_n composition_n and_o other_o action_n of_o nature_n in_o all_o nature_n part_n and_o particle_n yet_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o variety_n of_o this_o self-motion_n who_o way_n and_o mode_n do_v differ_v according_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o each_o particular_a figure_n no_o figure_n or_o creature_n can_v have_v the_o same_o sense_n and_o reason_n that_o be_v the_o same_o natural_a motion_n which_o another_o have_v and_o therefore_o no_o stone_n can_v be_v say_v to_o feel_v pain_n as_o a_o animal_n do_v or_o be_v call_v blind_a because_o it_o have_v no_o eye_n for_o this_o kind_n of_o sense_n as_o see_v hear_v taste_v touch_v and_o smell_a be_v proper_a only_o to_o a_o animal_n figure_n and_o not_o to_o a_o stone_n which_o be_v a_o mineral_n so_o that_o those_o which_o frame_v a_o argument_n from_o the_o want_n of_o animal_n sense_n and_o sensitive_a organ_n to_o the_o defect_n of_o all_o sense_n and_o motion_n as_o for_o example_n that_o a_o stone_n will_v withdraw_v itself_o from_o the_o cart_n go_v over_o it_o or_o a_o piece_n of_o iron_n from_o the_o hammer_v of_o a_o smith_n conclude_v in_o my_o

argument_n by_o the_o rule_n of_o natural_a logic_n but_o that_o this_o difference_n of_o sense_n and_o reason_n be_v not_o altogether_o impossible_a or_o at_o least_o improbable_a to_o our_o understanding_n i_o will_v explain_v by_o another_o instance_n we_o see_v so_o many_o several_a creature_n in_o their_o several_a kind_n to_o wit_n element_n vegetable_n mineral_n and_o animal_n which_o be_v the_o chief_a distinction_n of_o those_o kind_n of_o creature_n as_o be_v subject_a to_o our_o sensitive_a perception_n and_o in_o all_o those_o what_o variety_n and_o difference_n do_v we_o find_v both_o in_o their_o exterior_a figure_n and_o in_o their_o interior_a nature_n true_o such_o as_o most_o of_o both_o ancient_a and_o modern_a philosopher_n have_v imagine_v some_o of_o they_o viz._n the_o element_n to_o be_v simple_a body_n and_o the_o principle_n of_o all_o other_o creature_n nay_o those_o several_a creature_n do_v not_o only_o differ_v so_o much_o from_o each_o other_o in_o their_o general_a kind_n but_o there_o be_v no_o less_o difference_n perceive_v in_o their_o particular_a kind_n for_o example_n concern_v element_n what_o difference_n be_v there_o not_o between_o heavy_a and_o contract_a earth_n and_o between_o light_n and_o dilate_v air_n between_o flow_a water_n and_o ascend_a fire_n so_o as_o it_o will_v be_v a_o endless_a labour_n to_o consider_v all_o the_o different_a nature_n of_o those_o creature_n only_o that_o be_v subject_a to_o our_o exterior_a sense_n and_o yet_o who_o dare_v deny_v that_o they_o all_o consist_v of_o matter_n or_o be_v material_a thus_o we_o see_v that_o infinite_a matter_n be_v not_o like_o a_o piece_n of_o clay_n out_o of_o which_o no_o figure_n can_v be_v make_v but_o it_o must_v be_v clayie_a for_o natural_a matter_n have_v no_o such_o narrow_a bound_n and_o be_v not_o force_v to_o make_v all_o creature_n alike_o for_o though_o gold_n and_o stone_n be_v both_o material_a nay_o of_o the_o same_o kind_n to_o wit_n mineral_n yet_o one_o be_v not_o the_o other_o nor_o like_o the_o other_o and_o if_o this_o be_v true_a of_o matter_n why_o may_v not_o the_o same_o be_v say_v of_o self-motion_n which_o be_v sense_n and_o reason_n wherefore_o in_o all_o probability_n of_o truth_n there_o be_v sense_n and_o reason_n in_o a_o mineral_n as_o well_o as_o in_o a_o animal_n and_o in_o a_o vegetable_a as_o well_o as_o in_o a_o element_n although_o there_o be_v as_o great_a a_o difference_n between_o the_o manner_n and_o way_n of_o their_o sensitive_a and_o rational_a perception_n as_o there_o be_v between_o both_o their_o exterior_a and_o interior_a figure_n and_o nature_n nay_o there_o be_v a_o difference_n of_o sense_n and_o reason_n even_o in_o the_o part_n of_o one_o and_o the_o same_o creature_n and_o consequent_o of_o sensitive_a and_o rational_a perception_n or_o knowledge_n for_o as_o i_o have_v declare_v heretofore_o more_o at_o large_a every_o sensitive_a organ_n in_o man_n have_v its_o peculiar_a way_n of_o knowledge_n and_o perception_n for_o the_o eye_n do_v not_o know_v what_o the_o ear_n know_v nor_o the_o ear_n what_o the_o nose_n know_v etc._n etc._n all_o which_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o a_o general_a ignorance_n between_o nature_n part_n and_o the_o chief_a cause_n of_o all_o this_o difference_n be_v the_o variety_n of_o self-motion_n for_o if_o natural_a motion_n be_v in_o all_o creature_n alike_o all_o sense_n and_o reason_n will_v be_v alike_o too_o and_o if_o there_o be_v no_o degree_n of_o matter_n all_o the_o figure_n of_o creature_n will_v be_v alike_o either_o all_o hard_a or_o all_o soft_a all_o dense_n or_o all_o rare_a and_o fluid_a etc._n etc._n and_o yet_o neither_o this_o variety_n of_o motion_n cause_v a_o absence_n of_o motion_n or_o of_o sense_n and_o reason_n nor_o the_o variety_n of_o figure_n a_o absence_n of_o matter_n but_o only_o a_o difference_n between_o the_o part_n of_o nature_n all_o be_v nevertheless_o self-moving_a sensible_a and_o rational_a as_o well_o as_o material_a for_o wheresoever_o be_v natural_a matter_n there_o be_v also_o self-motion_n and_o consequent_o sense_n and_o reason_n by_o this_o we_o may_v see_v how_o easy_a it_o be_v to_o conceive_v the_o action_n of_o nature_n and_o to_o resolve_v all_o the_o phaenomena_n or_o appearance_n upon_o this_o ground_n and_o i_o can_v admire_v enough_o how_o so_o many_o eminent_a and_o learned_a philosopher_n have_v be_v and_o be_v still_o puzzle_v about_o the_o natural_a rational_a soul_n of_o man_n some_o will_v have_v she_o to_o

philosopher_n
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

though_o most_o philosopher_n be_v of_o opinion_n that_o element_n be_v simple_a body_n and_o all_o the_o rest_n be_v compose_v of_o they_o yet_o this_o be_v no_o way_n probable_a to_o reason_n

one_o i_o do_v willing_o grant_v it_o if_o by_o the_o world_n he_o do_v mean_a nature_n but_o than_o it_o can_v be_v finite_a but_o thales_n seem_v to_o contradict_v himself_o in_o this_o theorem_a when_o as_o he_o grant_v that_o body_n be_v divisible_a in_o infinite_a for_o if_o there_o be_v infinite_a action_n as_o infinite_a division_n in_o nature_n then_o sure_o the_o body_n of_o nature_n itself_o must_v be_v infinite_a next_o he_o say_v that_o god_n be_v the_o soul_n of_o the_o world_n which_o if_o so_o god_n be_v infinite_a he_o can_v have_v a_o finite_a body_n to_o animate_v it_o for_o a_o finite_a body_n and_o a_o infinite_a soul_n do_v never_o agree_v together_o but_o that_o god_n shall_v be_v the_o soul_n of_o the_o world_n no_o regular_a reason_n can_v allow_v because_o

reason_n be_v the_o principle_n of_o nature_n for_o the_o rational_a part_n be_v the_o most_o intelligent_a part_n of_o animate_v matter_n next_o i_o say_v that_o contemplation_n be_v as_o much_o a_o action_n as_o any_o other_o action_n of_o nature_n although_o it_o be_v not_o so_o gross_a as_o the_o action_n of_o the_o body_n for_o it_o be_v only_o a_o action_n of_o the_o mind_n which_o be_v

aristotle_n make_v the_o principle_n of_o nature_n matter_n form_n and_o privation_n and_o leave_v out_o the_o chief_a which_o be_v motion_n for_o be_v there_o no_o motion_n there_o will_v be_v no_o

for_o sense_n can_v move_v itself_o but_o be_v a_o mutation_n in_o the_o organ_n cause_v by_o some_o sensible_a object_n but_o the_o absurdity_n of_o this_o opinion_n i_o have_v declare_v heretofore_o

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

thorough_a of_o one_o colour_n and_o other_o again_o may_v be_v of_o several_a colour_n and_o indeed_o most_o creature_n as_o they_o have_v different_a part_n so_o those_o different_a part_n have_v

wherefore_o it_o be_v no_o more_o wonder_n to_o see_v colour_n change_v in_o the_o temper_n of_o steel_n as_o some_o be_v please_v to_o allege_v this_o experiment_n then_o to_o see_v steel_n change_v

the_o alteration_n of_o the_o corporeal_a part_n be_v the_o alteration_n of_o the_o corporeal_a figure_n of_o colour_n they_o also_o prove_v that_o light_n be_v not_o essential_a to_o colour_n for_o although_o some_o colour_n be_v make_v by_o several_a reflection_n refraction_n and_o position_n of_o light_n yet_o light_n be_v not_o the_o true_a and_o natural_a cause_n of_o all_o colour_n but_o those_o colour_n that_o be_v make_v by_o light_n be_v most_o inconstant_a momentany_a and_o alterable_a by_o reason_n light_n and_o its_o effect_n be_v very_o changeable_a neither_o be_v colour_n make_v by_o a_o bare_a motion_n for_o there_o be_v no_o such_o thing_n as_o a_o bare_a or_o immaterial_a motion_n in_o nature_n but_o both_o light_n and_o colour_n be_v make_v by_o the_o corporeal_a

perception_n of_o light_n and_o colour_n be_v make_v and_o dissolve_v by_o the_o sensitive_a figurative_a motion_n in_o the_o optic_n sensorium_fw-la without_o the_o exchange_n of_o exterior_a object_n but_o as_o the_o slack_a loose_a or_o rare_a part_n be_v of_o least_o solid_a or_o compose_a corporeal_a figure_n so_o be_v they_o most_o apt_a to_o change_v and_o rechange_v upon_o the_o

compose_v again_o for_o a_o good_a while_n nay_o often_o there_o follow_v a_o total_a dissolution_n of_o the_o whole_a figure_n which_o we_o call_v death_n and_o at_o all_o this_o we_o need_v not_o wonder_n if_o we_o do_v but_o consider_v that_o nature_n be_v full_a of_o sense_n and_o reason_n that_o be_v of_o sensitive_a and_o rational_a perception_n which_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o oftentimes_o the_o disturbance_n of_o one_o part_n cause_v all_o other_o part_n of_o a_o compose_a figure_n to_o take_v a_o alarm_n for_o as_o we_o may_v observe_v it_o be_v so_o in_o all_o other_o compose_v body_n even_o in_o those_o compose_v by_o art_n as_o for_o example_n in_o the_o politic_a body_n of_o a_o commonwealth_n one_o traitor_n be_v apt_a to_o cause_v all_o the_o kingdom_n to_o

there_o be_v faction_n among_o the_o part_n of_o a_o animal_n body_n then_o straight_o there_o arise_v a_o civil_a war._n wherefore_o to_o return_v to_o colour_n a_o sudden_a change_n of_o colour_n may_v cause_v no_o wonder_n by_o reason_n there_o be_v oftentimes_o in_o nature_n a_o sudden_a change_n of_o part_n that_o be_v a_o alteration_n of_o figure_n in_o the_o same_o part_n neither_o be_v it_o more_o to_o be_v admire_v that_o one_o colour_n shall_v be_v within_o another_o than_o one_o figurative_a part_n be_v within_o another_o for_o colour_n be_v figurative_a part_n and_o as_o there_o be_v several_a creature_n so_o there_o be_v also_o several_a colour_n for_o the_o colour_n of_o a_o creature_n be_v as_o well_o corporeal_a as_o the_o creature_n itself_o and_o to_o express_v myself_o as_o clear_o as_o i_o can_v colour_n be_v as_o much_o a_o body_n as_o place_n and_o magnitude_n which_o be_v but_o one_o thing_n with_o body_n wherefore_o when_o the_o body_n or_o any_o corporeal_a

for_o as_o no_o particle_n of_o matter_n can_v be_v lose_v in_o nature_n nor_o no_o particular_a motion_n so_o neither_o can_v colour_n and_o therefore_o the_o opinion_n of_o those_o who_o say_v that_o when_o flax_n or_o silk_n be_v divide_v into_o very_o small_a thread_n or_o fine_a part_n those_o part_n lose_v their_o colour_n and_o be_v twist_v regain_v their_o colour_n seem_v not_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

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

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

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

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

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

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

it_o be_v the_o triangular_a figure_n of_o snow_n that_o make_v it_o light_n and_o the_o squareness_n that_o make_v ice_n heavy_a than_o snow_n for_o if_o snow_n be_v porous_a and_o its_o pore_n be_v

more_o subtle_a and_o active_a and_o be_v more_o subtle_a and_o active_a because_o it_o be_v free_a and_o not_o necessitate_v to_o labour_v on_o or_o with_o any_o other_o part_n but_o some_o may_v say_v how_o be_v it_o possible_a that_o the_o rational_a part_n be_v so_o close_o intermix_v with_o the_o sensitive_a and_o the_o inanimate_a can_v move_v by_o itself_o and_o not_o be_v a_o labourer_n 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 which_o purity_n and_o fineness_n make_v that_o it_o be_v so_o subtle_a and_o active_a and_o consequent_o not_o necessitate_v to_o labour_v with_o or_o on_o other_o part_n again_o some_o may_v ask_v whether_o those_o intermix_a part_n continue_v always_o together_o in_o their_o particular_n as_o for_o example_n whether_o the_o same_o rational_a part_n keep_v constant_o to_o the_o same_o sensitive_a and_o inanimate_a part_n as_o they_o be_v commix_v i_o answer_v nature_n be_v in_o a_o perpetual_a motion_n and_o her_o part_n be_v part_n of_o her_o own_o self-moving_a body_n wherefore_o 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 be_v divideable_a from_o each_o other_o yet_o the_o triumvirate_n of_o nature_n that_o be_v the_o three_o chief_a degree_n or_o part_n of_o matter_n to_o wit_n rational_a sensitive_a and_o inanimate_a which_o belong_v to_o the_o constitution_n of_o nature_n can_v be_v separate_v or_o divide_v from_o each_o other_o in_o general_a so_o that_o rational_a matter_n may_v be_v divide_v from_o sensitive_a and_o inanimate_a and_o these_o again_o from_o the_o rational_a but_o they_o must_v of_o necessity_n continue_v in_o this_o commixture_n as_o long_o as_o nature_n last_v in_o short_a rational_a sensitive_a and_o inanimate_a matter_n be_v divideable_a in_o their_o particular_n that_o be_v such_o a_o particular_a part_n of_o inanimate_a matter_n be_v not_o bind_v to_o such_o a_o particular_a part_n of_o sensitive_a or_o rational_a matter_n etc._n etc._n but_o they_o be_v individeable_a in_o general_n that_o be_v from_o each_o other_o for_o wheresoever_o be_v body_n there_o be_v also_o a_o commixture_n of_o these_o three_o degree_n of_o matter_n 4._o some_o may_v say_v how_o be_v it_o possible_a that_o reason_n can_v be_v above_o sense_n and_o that_o the_o rational_a perception_n be_v more_o subtle_a and_o know_v then_o the_o sensitive_a since_o in_o my_o philosophical_a opinion_n i_o have_v declare_v that_o the_o sensitive_a perception_n do_v inform_v the_o rational_a or_o that_o 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 conjunction_n or_o join_v of_o one_o part_n to_o another_o or_o that_o it_o be_v a_o exterior_a touch_n but_o a_o interior_a knowledge_n for_o all_o self-knowledg_n be_v a_o kind_n of_o thoughtfulness_n and_o that_o thought_n be_v a_o rational_a touch_n as_o touch_n be_v a_o sensitive_a thought_n for_o the_o exterior_a perception_n of_o reason_n resemble_v the_o interior_a action_n or_o knowledge_n of_o sense_n neither_o do_v i_o mean_v that_o the_o perception_n of_o touch_n be_v make_v by_o pressure_n and_o reaction_n no_o more_o than_o the_o perception_n of_o sight_n hear_v or_o the_o like_a but_o the_o pattern_n of_o outward_a object_n be_v action_n of_o the_o body_n sentient_a be_v as_o it_o be_v a_o self-touch_a or_o self-feeling_a both_o in_o the_o sensitive_a and_o rational_a perception_n indeed_o that_o subtle_a and_o learned_a philosopher_n who_o will_v persuade_v we_o that_o perception_n be_v make_v by_o pressure_n and_o reaction_n make_v perception_n only_o a_o fantasme_n for_o say_v he_o reaction_n make_v a_o fantasme_n and_o that_o be_v perception_n 5._o some_o perhaps_o will_v say_v that_o if_o the_o perception_n of_o the_o exterior_a animal_n sense_n be_v make_v by_o pattern_v than_o that_o animal_n which_o have_v two_o or_o more_o eye_n by_o pattern_v out_o a_o exterior_a object_n will_v have_v a_o double_a or_o treble_a perception_n of_o it_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 same_o perception_n with_o those_o that_o be_v the_o side_n or_o extreme_a part_n thereof_o but_o their_o perception_n be_v different_a from_o each_o other_o for_o example_n the_o eye_n of_o a_o man_n or_o some_o other_o animal_n pattern_n
as_o fire_n be_v beyond_o smoke_n which_o can_v be_v but_o dangerous_a and_o unfit_a to_o be_v use_v except_o it_o be_v to_o encounter_v opposite_a extreme_n by_o extreme_n i_o mean_v not_o the_o

for_o nature_n be_v infinite_a have_v no_o extreme_n neither_o in_o her_o substance_n nor_o action_n for_o she_o have_v nothing_o that_o be_v opposite_a to_o matter_n neither_o be_v there_o any_o such_o thing_n as_o most_o or_o least_o in_o nature_n she_o be_v infinite_a and_o all_o her_o action_n be_v balance_v by_o their_o opposite_n as_o for_o example_n there_o be_v no_o dilation_n but_o

in_o nature_n kingdom_n which_o wise_a artist_n ought_v to_o imitate_v but_o you_o may_v say_v how_o be_v it_o possible_a that_o there_o can_v be_v a_o peaceable_a and_o orderly_a government_n where_o there_o be_v so_o many_o contrary_a or_o opposite_a action_n for_o contrary_n make_v war_n not_o peace_n i_o answer_v although_o the_o action_n of_o nature_n be_v opposite_a yet_o nature_n in_o her_o own_o substance_n be_v at_o peace_n because_o she_o be_v one_o and_o the_o same_o that_o be_v one_o material_a body_n and_o have_v nothing_o without_o herself_o to_o oppose_v and_o cross_v she_o neither_o be_v she_o subject_a to_o a_o general_a change_n so_o as_o to_o alter_v she_o own_o substance_n from_o be_v matter_n for_o she_o be_v infinite_a and_o eternal_a but_o because_o she_o be_v self-moving_a and_o full_a of_o variety_n of_o figure_n this_o variety_n can_v be_v produce_v without_o variety_n of_o action_n no_o not_o without_o opposition_n which_o opposition_n be_v the_o cause_n that_o there_o can_v be_v no_o extreme_n in_o particular_n for_o it_o balance_n each_o action_n so_o that_o it_o can_v run_v into_o infinite_a which_o otherwise_o will_v breed_v a_o horrid_a confusion_n in_o nature_n and_o thus_o much_o of_o principle_n concern_v the_o particular_n of_o chemical_a preparation_n i_o be_v not_o verse_v in_o that_o art_n be_o not_o able_a to_o give_v my_o judgement_n thereof_o neither_o do_v i_o understand_v their_o term_n and_o expression_n as_o first_o what_o chemist_n mean_v by_o fixation_n for_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o nature_n that_o can_v proper_o be_v call_v fix_v because_o nature_n and_o all_o her_o part_n be_v perpetual_o self-moving_a only_a nature_n can_v be_v alter_v from_o be_v material_a nor_o from_o be_v dependent_a upon_o god_n neither_o do_v i_o apprehend_v what_o some_o mean_a by_o the_o unlock_v of_o body_n unless_o they_o understand_v by_o it_o a_o separation_n of_o natural_a part_n proper_a for_o artificial_a use_n neither_o can_v natural_a effect_n be_v separate_v by_o other_o any_o otherwise_o but_o occasional_o so_o that_o some_o part_n may_v be_v a_o occasion_n of_o such_o or_o such_o alteration_n in_o other_o part_n but_o i_o must_v say_v this_o that_o according_a to_o humane_a sense_n and_o reason_n there_o be_v no_o part_n or_o particle_n in_o nature_n which_o be_v not_o alterable_a by_o reason_n nature_n be_v in_o a_o perpetual_a motion_n and_o full_a of_o variety_n it_o be_v true_a some_o body_n as_o gold_n and_o mercury_n seem_v to_o be_v unalterable_a from_o their_o particular_a nature_n but_o this_o only_o appear_v thus_o to_o our_o sense_n because_o their_o part_n be_v more_o fix_v and_o retentive_a than_o other_o and_o no_o art_n have_v be_v find_v out_o as_o yet_o which_o can_v alter_v there_o proper_a and_o particular_a figure_n that_o be_v untie_v and_o dissolve_v or_o rather_o cause_v a_o alteration_n of_o their_o corporeal_a retentive_a motion_n that_o bind_v they_o into_o so_o fix_v and_o consistent_a a_o body_n but_o all_o that_o be_v mix_v with_o they_o have_v hitherto_o be_v find_v too_o weak_a for_o the_o alteration_n of_o their_o inherent_a motion_n 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 composition_n and_o division_n of_o part_n be_v general_a motion_n and_o some_o figure_n may_v be_v more_o compose_v than_o other_o that_o be_v consist_v of_o more_o or_o few_o part_n than_o other_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 cause_n from_o which_o they_o be_v produce_v which_o be_v self-moving_a matter_n which_o be_v above_o particular_a effect_n yet_o nature_n may_v have_v more_o way_n than_o our_o particular_a reason_n can_v apprehend_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v admire_v that_o camphor_n and_o the_o like_a body_n do_v yield_v differ_v effect_n according_a to_o the_o different_a occasion_n that_o make_v they_o move_v thus_o or_o thus_o for_o though_o change_v and_o alteration_n of_o particular_n may_v be_v occasion_v by_o other_o yet_o they_o move_v by_o their_o own_o corporeal_a figurative_a motion_n as_o it_o be_v evident_a by_o the_o power_n of_o fire_n which_o make_v other_o body_n move_v or_o change_v their_o part_n and_o figure_n not_o by_o its_o own_o transform_a motion_n but_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 patient_n for_o they_o conceive_v that_o a_o body_n throw_v into_o fire_n act_n nothing_o at_o all_o but_o only_o in_o a_o passive_a way_n suffer_v the_o fire_n to_o act_v upon_o it_o according_a to_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
vegetable_n and_o the_o fire_n and_o in_o the_o power_n of_o their_o corporeal_a figurative_a motion_n as_o any_o other_o figure_n whatsoever_o otherwise_o it_o will_v never_o have_v be_v produce_v nay_o not_o only_a glass_n but_o million_o of_o other_o figure_n may_v be_v obtain_v from_o those_o part_n they_o be_v subject_a to_o infinite_a change_n for_o the_o action_n of_o self-moving_a matter_n be_v so_o infinite_o various_a that_o according_a to_o the_o mixture_n or_o composition_n and_o division_n of_o part_n they_o can_v produce_v what_o figure_n they_o please_v not_o by_o a_o

can_v say_v that_o those_o figure_n be_v not_o in_o nature_n or_o in_o the_o power_n of_o corporeal_a figurative_a self-motion_n we_o may_v say_v as_o well_o that_o a_o man_n can_v go_v when_o he_o
