a_o inclination_n to_o unity_n and_o averseness_n to_o separation_n in_o all_o thing_n that_o even_o earth_n and_o stone_n that_o have_v no_o other_o know_v natural_a motion_n have_v yet_o a_o

and_o therefore_o need_v not_o fear_v it_o §_o 27._o 3._o but_o if_o it_o be_v to_o be_v fear_v that_o soul_n be_v partible_a and_o will_v be_v break_v into_o part_n this_o will_v be_v no_o

we_o have_v great_a reason_n to_o conceive_v because_o they_o be_v their_o natural_a essence_n not_o as_o mix_v but_o simple_a substance_n and_o though_o some_o imagine_v that_o the_o passive_a

that_o which_o be_v such_o can_v never_o want_v a_o object_n till_o all_o thing_n be_v annihilate_v §_o 8._o reason_n assure_v i_o that_o be_v my_o will_n now_o what_o it_o shall_v be_v and_o full_o
