sensitive_a and_o rational_a motion_n the_o perception_n also_o be_v various_a produce_v not_o by_o external_a pressure_n but_o by_o internal_a self-motion_n as_o i_o have_v declare_v heretofore_o and_o to_o prove_v that_o the_o sensitive_a and_o rational_a corporeal_a motion_n be_v the_o only_a cause_n of_o perception_n i_o say_v if_o those_o motion_n in_o a_o animal_n move_v in_o another_o way_n and_o not_o to_o such_o perception_n than_o that_o animal_n can_v neither_o hear_v see_v taste_n smell_v nor_o touch_v although_o all_o his_o sensitive_a organ_n be_v perfect_a as_o be_v evident_a in_o a_o man_n fall_v into_o a_o swoon_n where_o all_o the_o time_n he_o be_v in_o a_o swoon_n the_o pressure_n of_o the_o object_n be_v make_v without_o any_o effect_n wherefore_o as_o the_o sensitive_a and_o rational_a corporeal_a motion_n make_v all_o that_o be_v in_o nature_n so_o likewise_o they_o make_v perception_n as_o be_v perception_n itself_o for_o all_o self-motion_n be_v perception_n but_o all_o perception_n be_v not_o animal_n perception_n or_o after_o a_o animal_n way_n and_o therefore_o sense_n can_v decay_v nor_o die_v but_o what_o be_v call_v a_o decay_n or_o death_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o change_n or_o alteration_n of_o those_o motion_n but_o you_o will_v say_v madam_n it_o may_v be_v that_o one_o body_n as_o a_o object_n leave_v the_o print_n of_o its_o figure_n in_o the_o next_o adjoin_v body_n until_o it_o come_v to_o the_o organ_n of_o sense_n i_o answer_v that_o then_o sost_a body_n only_o must_v be_v press_v and_o the_o object_n must_v be_v so_o hard_a as_o to_o make_v a_o print_n and_o as_o for_o rare_a part_n of_o matter_n they_o be_v not_o able_a to_o retain_v a_o print_n without_o self-motion_n wherefore_o it_o be_v not_o probable_a that_o the_o part_n of_o air_n shall_v receive_v a_o print_n and_o print_v the_o same_o again_o upon_o the_o adjoin_a part_n until_o the_o last_o part_n of_o the_o air_n print_v it_o upon_o

wherefore_o in_o my_o opinion_n perception_n be_v not_o cause_v either_o by_o the_o print_n of_o object_n nor_o by_o pressure_n for_o pressure_n will_v make_v a_o general_a stop_n of_o all_o natural_a motion_n especial_o if_o there_o be_v any_o reaction_n or_o resistance_n of_o sense_n but_o according_a to_o my_o reason_n the_o sensitive_a and_o rational_a corporeal_a motion_n in_o one_o body_n

reason_n be_v not_o able_a to_o comprehend_v since_o there_o can_v be_v no_o figure_n without_o matter_n or_o substance_n they_o be_v inseparable_o unite_v together_o so_o that_o where_o figure_n be_v

of_o immaterial_o and_o non-being_n so_o art_n be_v ignorant_a of_o nature_n for_o mathematical_a rule_n measure_n and_o demonstration_n can_v rule_v measure_n nor_o demonstrate_v nature_n no_o more_o

when_o as_o yet_o your_o author_n rail_v much_o at_o those_o that_o insist_v upon_o the_o opinion_n and_o doctrine_n of_o pagan_a philosopher_n wherefore_o i_o will_v leave_v this_o poetical_a fancy_n of_o life_n and_o turn_v to_o death_n and_o see_v what_o opinion_n your_o author_n have_v of_o that_o first_o concern_v the_o cause_n or_o original_n of_o death_n neither_o god_n say_v he_o position_n nor_o the_o evil_a spirit_n be_v the_o creator_n of_o death_n but_o man_n only_o who_o make_v death_n for_o himself_o neither_o do_v nature_n make_v death_n but_o man_n make_v death_n natural_a which_o if_o it_o be_v so_o then_o death_n be_v to_o my_o opinion_n a_o natural_a creature_n as_o well_o as_o life_n sickness_n and_o health_n man_n certain_o have_v great_a power_n as_o to_o be_v the_o creator_n of_o a_o natural_a creature_n but_o i_o will_v fain_o know_v the_o reason_n why_o your_o author_n be_v so_o unwilling_a to_o make_v god_n the_o author_n of_o death_n and_o sickness_n as_o well_o as_o of_o damnation_n do_v it_o imply_v any_o impiety_n or_o irreligiousness_n do_v not_o god_n punish_v as_o well_o as_o reward_v and_o be_v not_o death_n a_o punishment_n for_o our_o

of_o the_o command_n of_o god_n as_o the_o eat_n of_o the_o forbid_v fruit._n but_o from_o whence_o come_v this_o transgression_n it_o may_v be_v answer_v from_o the_o persuasion_n of_o the_o

nature_n from_o his_o fall_n whence_o come_v his_o fall_n from_o his_o pride_n and_o ambition_n to_o be_v equal_a with_o god_n from_o whence_o come_v this_o pride_n from_o his_o freewill_n from_o whence_o come_v his_o freewill_n from_o god_n thus_o madam_n if_o we_o shall_v be_v too_o inquisitive_a into_o the_o action_n of_o god_n we_o shall_v commit_v blasphemy_n and_o make_v god_n cruel_a as_o to_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o sin_n and_o consequent_o of_o damnation_n but_o although_o god_n be_v not_o the_o author_n of_o sin_n yet_o we_o may_v not_o stick_v to_o say_v that_o he_o be_v the_o author_n of_o the_o punishment_n of_o sin_n as_o a_o act_n of_o his_o divine_a justice_n which_o punishment_n be_v sickness_n and_o death_n nay_o i_o see_v no_o reason_n why_o not_o of_o damnation_n too_o as_o it_o be_v a_o due_a punishment_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o wicked_a for_o though_o man_n effective_o work_v his_o own_o punishment_n yet_o god_n justice_n inflict_v it_o like_a as_o a_o

and_o not_o endeavour_v to_o know_v his_o secret_a design_n next_o i_o dissent_v from_o your_o author_n disease_n that_o death_n and_o all_o dead_a thing_n do_v want_v root_n whereby_o they_o may_v

say_v again_o that_o the_o matter_n of_o a_o fever_n float_v not_o in_o the_o vein_n nor_o sit_v nigh_o the_o heart_n i_o answer_v there_o be_v several_a sort_n of_o fever_n for_o all_o fever_n be_v not_o produce_v after_o one_o and_o the_o same_o manner_n or_o from_o one_o and_o the_o same_o cause_n as_o be_v very_o well_o know_v to_o wise_a and_o experience_a physician_n but_o although_o some_o fever_n be_v not_o in_o the_o blood_n yet_o that_o do_v not_o prove_v that_o the_o blood_n be_v never_o in_o a_o fever_n for_o sometime_o the_o blood_n be_v in_o a_o fever_n and_o not_o the_o solid_a part_n and_o sometime_o the_o fluid_a and_o movable_a humour_n and_o not_o the_o blood_n or_o solid_a part_n and_o sometime_o the_o solid_a part_n and_o not_o the_o blood_n nor_o the_o liquid_a and_o

for_o it_o be_v better_a to_o live_v with_o a_o little_a blood_n and_o a_o little_a strength_n which_o will_v soon_o be_v recover_v then_o to_o die_v with_o too_o much_o or_o too_o hot_a and_o distemper_a blood_n also_o purge_v but_o especial_o vomit_v be_v very_o good_a for_o if_o the_o humour_n be_v in_o a_o fever_n they_o may_v infect_v the_o vital_a part_n as_o also_o the_o blood_n but_o if_o they_o be_v not_o in_o a_o fever_n yet_o the_o solid_a part_n or_o blood_n may_v do_v the_o same_o and_o so_o make_v the_o contagion_n great_a for_o the_o humour_n be_v as_o the_o
