those_o thing_n which_o integrate_a a_o thing_n be_v the_o least_o unlike_a god_n and_o be_v the_o most_o perfect_a and_o supreme_a it_o appear_v that_o all_o other_o thing_n which_o be_v in_o a_o

therefore_o it_o appear_v in_o body_n that_o there_o be_v motion_n it_o be_v evident_a there_o be_v some_o incorporeal_a creature_n which_o because_o it_o be_v require_v to_o give_v the_o first_o

concern_v a_o body_n it_o be_v evident_a that_o it_o be_v not_o compound_v of_o matter_n and_o form_n and_o a_o composition_n of_o existence_n with_o any_o thing_n above_o it_o be_v impossible_a since_o existence_n be_v the_o most_o formal_a form_n of_o a_o thing_n and_o consequent_o there_o can_v be_v nothing_o more_o formal_a or_o superior_a to_o it_o in_o the_o thing_n who_o '_o it_o be_v 6._o count_v therefore_o those_o thing_n which_o integrate_a a_o thing_n or_o be_v there_o be_v three_o kind_n of_o thing_n god_n fill_v the_o high_a degree_n of_o existence_n body_n by_o their_o

of_o middle_a order_n of_o subsist_v 7._o it_o be_v therefore_o a_o pure_a act_n because_o it_o be_v not_o mingle_v with_o a_o substantial_a power_n or_o possibility_n it_o be_v not_o the_o pure_a because_o it_o be_v compound_v with_o existence_n which_o be_v a_o substantial_a composition_n &_o as_o be_v manifest_a common_a to_o all_o but_o that_o one_o thing_n of-it-self_n 8._o again_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o a_o incorporeal_a creature_n be_v intellective_a &_o so_o actual_o understanding_n for_o since_o the_o necessity_n of_o its_o existence_n be_v collect_v from_o the_o motion_n of_o body_n it_o be_v evident_a it_o have_v some_o power_n to_o alter_v body_n that_o their_o motion_n may_v follow_v wherefore_o since_o action_n proceed_v from_o a_o agent_n as_o it_o actual_o be_v that_o motion_n of_o body_n must_v of_o necessity_n be_v actual_o in_o this_o creature_n &_o consequent_o the_o body_n change_v 9_o since_o therefore_o there_o be_v no_o matter_n in_o this_o
