believe_v a_o soul_n separate_v from_o the_o body_n have_v be_v capable_a of_o such_o a_o accident_n m._n descartes_n who_o be_v aware_a of_o it_o and_o well_o understand_v the_o cause_n leave_v i_o

the_o reason_n of_o that_o neither_o till_o my_o return_n and_o it_o be_v this_o we_o must_v suppose_v that_o as_o long_o as_o our_o soul_n be_v unite_v with_o our_o body_n the_o most_o part_n of_o its_o idea_n and_o conception_n depend_v on_o the_o disposition_n of_o our_o brain_n the_o diversity_n of_o that_o disposition_n consist_v as_o say_v the_o peripatetic_n in_o the_o difference_n of_o the_o species_n apparition_n or_o image_n of_o object_n contain_v in_o the_o cavity_n of_o the_o brain_n or_o imprint_v on_o its_o substance_n the_o new_a philosopher_n more_o true_o say_v that_o

that_o be_v exquisite_o fine_a one_o shall_v see_v a_o prodigious_a difference_n in_o the_o complexion_n of_o those_o two_o brain_n i_o never_o indeed_o question_v that_o truth_n but_o i_o think_v that_o dependence_n of_o the_o soul_n last_v no_o long_o than_o it_o be_v in_o the_o body_n and_o that_o as_o soon_o as_o the_o separation_n be_v perform_v it_o have_v no_o more_o correspondence_n

ten_o thousand_o world_n apart_o it_o will_v receive_v the_o same_o impression_n as_o if_o it_o reside_v in_o it_o and_o that_o if_o m._n descartes_n snush_n have_v not_o lax_v the_o sensitive_a

beat_v upon_o the_o drum_n of_o my_o ear_n and_o so_o of_o all_o the_o rest_n so_o astonish_v a_o effect_n as_o this_o make_v no_o impression_n on_o philosophical_a soul_n for_o if_o they_o be_v peripatetic_n they_o present_o explain_v it_o by_o the_o sympathy_n betwixt_o the_o soul_n and_o body_n of_o the_o same_o individual_a and_o if_o they_o be_v cartesian_o they_o expound_v it_o by_o the_o general_a law_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o body_n union_n which_o be_v in_o cause_n that_o god_n on_o occasion_n of_o such_o and_o such_o motion_n make_v in_o the_o body_n produce_v such_o and_o such_o thought_n or_o perception_n in_o the_o soul_n and_o say_v they_o one_o of_o these_o law_n be_v that_o whilst_o the_o organ_n of_o the_o body_n be_v capacitate_v for_o employment_n the_o soul_n wherever_o she_o be_v receive_v the_o impression_n of_o object_n that_o affect_v they_o it_o be_v as_o easy_a a_o thing_n for_o god_n to_o advertise_v the_o soul_n of_o that_o impression_n when_o she_o be_v remote_a from_o the_o body_n as_o when_o present_a proximity_n of_o place_n be_v whole_o insignificant_a in_o the_o thing_n since_o according_a to_o they_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o organ_n be_v not_o the_o real_a cause_n that_o produce_v sensation_n but_o only_o the_o occasional_a cause_n that_o be_v that_o which_o offer_v a_o occasion_n to_o god_n almighty_a of_o produce_v they_o in_o
