part_n yet_o when_o it_o cease_v to_o be_v water_v with_o a_o continual_a supply_n of_o sap_n the_o sap_n be_v only_o disperse_v in_o the_o air_n or_o intercept_v and_o spend_v in_o some_o other_o part_n of_o the_o tree_n from_o whence_o it_o appear_v that_o nothing_o at_o all_o perish_v but_o only_o the_o manner_n of_o union_n and_o the_o particular_a modification_n of_o those_o part_n of_o matter_n cease_v so_o that_o those_o solid_a part_n be_v no_o long_o fit_o adapt_v to_o be_v nourish_v by_o those_o fluid_n which_o instance_n may_v serve_v to_o illustrate_v our_o doctrine_n though_o there_o be_v considerable_a difference_n betwixt_o the_o thing_n compare_v inasmuch_o as_o a_o plant_n have_v not_o always_o that_o aptitude_n to_o be_v again_o actuate_v as_o the_o mill_n have_v but_o there_o be_v some_o instance_n which_o may_v render_v the_o difference_n less_o considerable_a if_o we_o consider_v that_o the_o rose_n of_o jericho_n which_o though_o for_o several_a year_n gather_v and_o wither_v be_v so_o far_o refresh_v by_o water_n as_o to_o seem_v but_o late_o gather_v and_o i_o have_v observe_v that_o though_o a_o plant_n of_o aloe_n have_v several_a year_n hang_v near_o the_o ceiling_n of_o my_o chamber_n yet_o it_o be_v by_o the_o use_n of_o a_o convenient_a liquor_n so_o far_o renew_v as_o to_o perform_v several_a thing_n which_o be_v usual_o the_o effect_n of_o life_n and_o growth_n and_o the_o like_a be_v confirm_v by_o what_o may_v be_v experiment_a in_o wasp_n which_o though_o drown_v in_o water_n will_v yet_o recover_v life_n by_o the_o heat_n of_o the_o sun_n ingredient_n the_o quality_n of_o a_o body_n who_o specific_a form_n be_v destroy_v depend_v not_o on_o the_o unite_a action_n of_o the_o whole_a ingredient_n but_o to_o wave_v needless_a illustration_n i_o shall_v proceed_v to_o observe_v that_o though_o a_o body_n have_v lay_v down_o its_o specific_a form_n yet_o the_o quality_n remain_v be_v not_o always_o the_o result_n of_o the_o unite_a subordinate_a form_n but_o depend_v sometime_o on_o the_o determinate_a form_n of_o particular_a part_n of_o that_o body_n though_o the_o union_n be_v such_o as_o to_o preserve_v the_o structure_n as_o to_o sense_n unaltered_a as_o appear_v when_o a_o extract_n be_v draw_v out_o of_o rhubarb_n or_o the_o juice_n of_o oak-bark_n be_v extract_v by_o water_n the_o remain_v substance_n though_o as_o to_o outward_a appearance_n the_o same_o form_n new_a quality_n may_v be_v add_v upon_o a_o dissolution_n of_o a_o speficick_n form_n retain_v not_o their_o specific_a virtue_n beside_o upon_o the_o abolition_n of_o specific_a form_n several_a new_a quality_n may_v be_v add_v to_o a_o body_n which_o it_o have_v not_o before_o by_o the_o influence_n of_o external_a agent_n as_o when_o musk_n result_v from_o the_o action_n of_o some_o external_n body_n upon_o flesh_n for_o not_o only_o the_o seminal_a rudiment_n latent_fw-la in_o body_n that_o have_v undergo_v a_o change_n exert_v themselves_o but_o several_a outward_a agent_n to_o which_o those_o body_n be_v expose_v do_v by_o agitate_v and_o alter_v the_o texture_n of_o that_o matter_n promote_v such_o a_o favourble_n concourse_n of_o circumstance_n that_o noble_a and_o very_a exquisite_a form_n may_v result_v from_o their_o union_n and_o contexture_n as_o a_o limestone_n be_v physical_o change_v by_o the_o influence_n of_o congruous_a particle_n when_o expose_v to_o the_o air_n will_v yield_v salt-petre_n genuine_a and_o inflammable_a and_o i_o have_v often_o observe_v a_o efflorescence_n upon_o certain_a marcasite_n agreeable_a in_o both_o colour_n and_o taste_n as_o well_o as_o other_o operation_n with_o vitriol_n which_o can_v be_v nothing_o but_o the_o effect_n of_o outward_a agent_n change_v the_o texture_n of_o those_o part_n which_o lie_v open_a to_o the_o air_n for_o some_o time_n part_n the_o modidification_n of_o a_o body_n may_v be_v twofold_a first_o in_o respect_n of_o this_o specific_a form_n second_o in_o respect_n of_o its_o own_o part_n but_o to_o wave_v there_o thing_n i_o shall_v illustrate_v a_o little_a further_o what_o i_o just_a before_o hint_v concern_v a_o twofold_a modification_n of_o matter_n viz._n the_o relation_n it_o have_v to_o a_o specific_a form_n and_o that_o which_o be_v the_o mere_a result_n of_o texture_n among_o its_o own_o part_n what_o i_o shall_v offer_v be_v that_o some_o thing_n be_v attribute_v to_o the_o soul_n or_o specific_a form_n which_o may_v be_v effect_v by_o the_o mere_a subordinate_a association_n of_o part_n promote_v by_o a_o mutual_a concourse_n of_o natural_a agent_n as_o the_o excrement_n may_v be_v void_v when_o a_o man_n be_v dead_a or_o fruit_n may_v be_v ripen_v after_o it_o be_v gather_v without_o the_o assistance_n of_o the_o expulsive_a faculty_n of_o the_o soul_n in_o the_o former_a or_o the_o perfective_a in_o the_o latter_a agreeable_a to_o this_o the_o inquisitive_a oviedo_n
