but_o as_o the_o gospel_n deliver_v it_o i_o can_v as_o little_o explain_v by_o any_o thing_n in_o nature_n how_o god_n who_o be_v a_o immaterial_a substance_n can_v move_v matter_n as_o how_o he_o can_v create_v it_o nor_o will_v it_o at_o all_o satisfy_v i_o to_o tell_v i_o that_o a_o rational_a soul_n move_v a_o human_a body_n for_o i_o do_v not_o allow_v that_o it_o give_v any_o motion_n to_o the_o body_n but_o only_o guide_v that_o which_o other_o agent_n have_v put_v the_o part_n of_o it_o into_o and_o though_o it_o do_v produce_v motion_n in_o the_o body_n my_o scruple_n will_v yet_o remain_v for_o the_o cartesian_o themselves_o confess_v that_o the_o power_n the_o soul_n have_v of_o so_o much_o as_o determine_v the_o motion_n of_o the_o body_n belong_v to_o it_o not_o upon_o any_o physical_a account_n but_o by_o the_o particular_a appointment_n and_o immediate_a power_n of_o god_n who_o will_v have_v that_o power_n one_o of_o the_o condition_n or_o property_n of_o the_o union_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o body_n so_o that_o to_o i_o who_o desire_v to_o have_v it_o explain_v how_o a_o immaterial_a substance_n can_v move_v matter_n and_o consequent_o how_o god_n can_v do_v it_o it_o will_v be_v no_o satisfaction_n to_o say_v that_o the_o rational_a soul_n can_v move_v the_o body_n it_o be_v join_v to_o since_o that_o power_n be_v refer_v mere_o to_o god_n appointment_n and_o the_o question_n be_v how_o god_n himself_o can_v be_v conceive_v to_o move_v matter_n arnob._n i_o know_v not_o whether_o upon_o the_o same_o ground_n which_o i_o do_v not_o disallow_v i_o may_v not_o add_v that_o whereas_o by_o many_o it_o be_v look_v upon_o as_o a_o inconceivable_a thing_n that_o god_n shall_v see_v man_n thought_n to_o i_o it_o appear_v as_o little_a intelligible_a how_o he_o can_v know_v their_o outward_a action_n for_o since_o we_o have_v no_o way_n of_o discern_v the_o particular_a motion_n of_o man_n body_n but_o by_o some_o of_o our_o sense_n especial_o our_o sight_n and_o since_o those_o sensation_n themselves_o necessary_o require_v organ_n due_o constitute_v that_o be_v make_v up_o of_o divers_a part_n frame_v and_o join_v after_o such_o a_o determinate_a manner_n i_o see_v not_o how_o we_o can_v explain_v the_o perception_n of_o visible_a object_n without_o a_o eye_n or_o so_o much_o as_o any_o corporeal_a organ_n or_o substance_n especial_o since_o it_o be_v and_o that_o very_o just_o assert_v that_o the_o deity_n be_v not_o unite_v to_o any_o portion_n of_o matter_n as_o the_o human_a soul_n be_v to_o the_o human_a body_n and_o to_o these_o instance_n other_o to_o the_o same_o purpose_n may_v be_v add_v but_o that_o i_o think_v it_o fit_a to_o mind_v you_o that_o of_o those_o it_o already_o mention_v among_o we_o there_o be_v some_o that_o i_o presume_v you_o will_v judge_v referable_a to_o that_o which_o i_o late_o call_v a_o possible_a modus_fw-la since_o it_o seem_v toto_fw-la genere_fw-la as_o they_o speak_v inexplicable_a how_o the_o attribute_n inexi_v in_o the_o subject_a and_o after_o what_o manner_n the_o cause_n can_v produce_v the_o effect_n ascribe_v to_o it_o tim._n i_o know_v you_o too_o well_o gentleman_n to_o suspect_v you_o mean_v by_o this_o to_o deny_v to_o god_n either_o the_o power_n of_o move_a matter_n or_o that_o of_o perceive_v all_o its_o motion_n arnob._n you_o may_v well_o take_v that_o for_o grant_v and_o you_o may_v remember_v that_o to_o prevent_v mistake_n i_o be_v careful_a in_o propose_v my_o advice_n to_o except_v those_o thing_n for_o which_o there_o be_v some_o positive_a proof_n competent_a in_o its_o kind_n pyrocl._n one_o may_v then_o without_o surprise_v you_o ask_v what_o kind_n of_o proof_n those_o may_v be_v arnob._n a_o full_a

remain_v unspeak_a of_o but_o yet_o to_o comply_v with_o you_o as_o far_o as_o my_o haste_n will_v permit_v i_o shall_v name_v two_o or_o three_o kind_n of_o positive_a proof_n that_o may_v be_v employ_v on_o such_o occasion_n as_o we_o speak_v of_o and_o first_o if_o there_o be_v a_o effect_n that_o we_o discern_v must_v proceed_v from_o such_o a_o cause_n or_o agent_n we_o may_v conclude_v that_o such_o a_o cause_n there_o be_v though_o we_o do_v not_o particular_o conceive_v how_o or_o by_o what_o operation_n it_o be_v able_a to_o produce_v the_o acknowledge_a effect_n thus_o though_o a_o man_n otherwise_o of_o a_o good_a judgement_n be_v whole_o a_o stranger_n to_o the_o mathematics_n can_v conceive_v how_o a_o skilful_a astronomer_n can_v many_o year_n before_o hand_n foretell_v eclipse_n to_o a_o day_n and_o hour_n and_o perhaps_o to_o a_o few_o minute_n yet_o when_o the_o success_n do_v as_o it_o often_o happen_v verify_v such_o prediction_n he_o will_v be_v satisfy_v that_o the_o maker_n of_o they_o have_v the_o skill_n to_o foreknow_v the_o thing_n foretell_v in_o they_o and_o so_o the_o generality_n of_o learned_a man_n among_o we_o who_o be_v not_o so_o much_o acquaint_v with_o that_o part_n of_o navigation_n which_o some_o modern_n have_v by_o a_o greek_a name_n call_v limen-euretica_a or_o the_o art_n of_o steer_v to_o harbour_n can_v well_o conceive_v how_o a_o ship_n that_o be_v for_o instance_n in_o the_o vast_a atlantic_a ocean_n above_o a_o thousand_o mile_n from_o any_o shore_n shall_v be_v so_o direct_v as_o to_o arrive_v just_a at_o a_o little_a harbour_n not_o canonshot_n over_o which_o perhaps_o neither_o the_o pilot_n nor_o any_o other_o in_o the_o ship_n ever_o see_v and_o yet_o as_o little_a as_o we_o can_v distinct_o conceive_v how_o such_o a_o art_n of_o find_v port_n can_v be_v frame_v we_o scruple_n not_o to_o allow_v there_o be_v such_o a_o one_o because_o navigator_n to_o the_o east_n and_o west_n indies_n can_v not_o without_o the_o guidance_n of_o such_o a_o art_n find_v the_o remote_a port_n they_o be_v bind_v for_o a_o second_o sort_n there_o be_v of_o positive_a proof_n consist_v of_o those_o consequence_n that_o be_v clear_o and_o legitimate_o infer_v from_o any_o manifest_a acknowledge_v or_o already_o demonstrate_v truth_n to_o this_o sort_n belong_v divers_a mathematical_a proposition_n and_o

to_o because_o they_o clear_o follow_v from_o either_o manifest_v or_o demonstrate_v truth_n thus_o many_o can_v conceive_v how_o it_o be_v possible_a there_o may_v be_v a_o million_o for_o instance_n of_o circle_n or_o as_o many_o more_o as_o you_o please_v who_o circumference_n shall_v each_o of_o they_o come_v near_o and_o near_o to_o one_o another_o and_o to_o a_o straight_a line_n assign_v and_o yet_o none_o of_o they_o either_o touch_n much_o less_o cut_v either_o any_o other_o circle_n or_o that_o line_n but_o in_o one_o and_o the_o same_o point_n and_o yet_o this_o be_v one_o of_o the_o odd_a proposition_n that_o geometer_n have_v right_o deduce_v as_o corollary_n from_o the_o sixteen_o of_o euclid_n three_o element_n and_o though_o we_o can_v clear_o conceive_v how_o two_o

that_o be_v the_o rigide_a reasoner_n that_o we_o know_v of_o have_v be_v compel_v admit_v this_o in_o the_o n1_fw-la conchoide_v of_o nicomedes_n to_o name_v no_o more_o but_o tho_o not_o to_o touch_v the_o same_o string_n too_o often_o i_o think_v fit_a to_o mention_v these_o instance_n yet_o whether_o you_o judge_v they_o sufficient_a or_o no_o you_o will_v allow_v that_o which_o may_v be_v take_v from_o the_o endless_a divisibility_n of_o a_o line_n for_o though_o if_o i_o misremember_v not_o sophronius_n tell_v i_o he_o take_v notice_n to_o you_o how_o unable_a we_o be_v to_o have_v a_o satisfactory_a apprehension_n how_o a_o short_a line_n as_o well_o as_o a_o long_a can_v be_v divide_v into_o more_o and_o more_o part_n without_o any_o stop_n yet_o geometrician_n

a_o square_n and_o if_o you_o will_v allow_v i_o to_o have_v once_o more_o recourse_n to_o divine_a prescience_n i_o may_v add_v another_o acknowledge_a instance_n by_o represent_v that_o philosopher_n have_v admit_v that_o because_o they_o judge_v it_o clear_o to_o follow_v from_o the_o infinite_a perfection_n of_o god_n though_o how_o he_o can_v

he_o demonstrate_v but_o pyrocles_n to_o look_v back_o to_o the_o first_o part_n of_o your_o objection_n though_o what_o you_o say_v will_v hold_v in_o ordinary_a case_n yet_o such_o peculiar_a one_o as_o we_o be_v speak_v of_o deserve_v a_o particular_a consideration_n about_o some_o privilege_a thing_n there_o be_v and_o about_o some_o other_o there_o may_v be_v contradictory_n opinion_n take_v that_o term_n in_o a_o strict_a sense_n maintain_v now_o as_o both_o of_o these_o can_v be_v true_a so_o one_o of_o they_o must_v be_v so_o as_o though_o it_o be_v hot_o dispute_v whether_o quantity_n be_v endless_o divisible_a yet_o certain_o it_o either_o must_v or_o must_v not_o be_v divisible_a without_o end_n and_o as_o be_v former_o observe_v which_o side_n soever_o you_o take_v the_o inconvenience_n will_v be_v exceed_o great_a and_o perhaps_o there_o will_v lie_v objection_n scarce_o to_o be_v direct_o answer_v and_o since_o one_o of_o the_o two_o opposite_a opinion_n must_v be_v true_a it_o will_v not_o always_o be_v necessary_a that_o a_o opinion_n must_v be_v false_a which_o be_v encumber_v with_o great_a difficulty_n or_o liable_a to_o puzzle_v objection_n and_o therefore_o if_o the_o positive_a proof_n on_o one_o side_n be_v clear_a and_o cogent_a though_o there_o be_v perplex_v difficulty_n object_v by_o the_o other_o the_o truth_n ought_v not_o for_o their_o sake_n to_o be_v reject_v because_o such_o difficulty_n proceed_v usual_o either_o from_o notion_n that_o man_n presume_v to_o frame_v about_o thing_n above_o their_o reach_n or_o from_o rule_n that_o be_v not_o make_v for_o such_o point_n as_o be_v in_o dispute_n the_o objection_n be_v not_o to_o be_v judge_v so_o well_o found_v as_o be_v that_o acknowledge_a principle_n in_o reason_v that_o from_o truth_n nothing_o but_o truth_n can_v be_v legitimate_o infer_v eugen._n i_o confess_v i_o have_v always_o think_v it_o reasonable_a in_o such_o case_n to_o compare_v as_o well_o the_o positive_a proof_n of_o one_o opinion_n with_o those_o of_o the_o other_o as_o those_o objection_n that_o be_v urge_v on_o either_o side_n and_o there_o make_v my_o estimate_n upon_o the_o whole_a matter_n though_o with_o a_o peculiar_a regard_n to_o that_o opinion_n that_o have_v a_o great_a advantage_n in_o point_n of_o positive_a argument_n because_o as_o arnobius_n observe_v those_o be_v the_o proper_a inducement_n to_o the_o assent_n of_o the_o intellect_n and_o then_o the_o objection_n may_v well_o enough_o be_v suspect_v to_o proceed_v from_o the_o abstruse_a nature_n of_o privilege_v thing_n and_o the_o overgreat_a narrowness_n of_o the_o rule_n that_o man_n be_v wont_a to_o judge_v of_o all_o thing_n by_o for_o we_o may_v have_v a_o sufficient_o clear_a proof_n that_o a_o thing_n be_v whilst_o we_o have_v no_o satisfactory_a conception_n of_o its_o manner_n of_o exist_v or_o operate_n our_o illative_a knowledge_n if_o you_o will_v allow_v i_o so_o to_o

some_o case_n exercise_v our_o reason_n in_o answer_v objection_n that_o be_v think_v not_o to_o be_v at_o all_o answerable_a because_o they_o be_v not_o direct_o so_o for_o we_o may_v sometime_o show_v by_o frame_v in_o another_o case_n a_o like_a argument_n which_o the_o adversary_n must_v confess_v do_v not_o conclude_v well_o that_o neither_o do_v the_o argument_n that_o contain_v his_o objection_n conclude_v aright_o this_o i_o can_v exemplify_v though_o that_o may_v seem_v no_o easy_a task_n but_o that_o i_o fear_v i_o shall_v want_v time_n to_o propose_v example_n who_o be_v

recommend_v to_o you_o one_o observation_n which_o i_o take_v to_o be_v of_o no_o small_a moment_n and_o use_n when_o we_o contemplate_v thing_n of_o the_o nature_n of_o those_o we_o have_v be_v
