present_a state_n nor_o be_v able_a to_o find_v out_o any_o remedy_n for_o it_o he_o begin_v to_o examine_v and_o consider_v in_o his_o mind_n all_o sort_n of_o brute_n creature_n to_o take_v notice_n of_o all_o their_o action_n and_o what_o they_o employ_v themselves_o about_o if_o so_o be_v he_o can_v perceive_v that_o any_o of_o they_o have_v any_o knowledge_n of_o this_o supreme_a and_o

their_o kind_a that_o they_o betake_v themselves_o to_o the_o shade_n in_o hot_a scorch_a wether_n and_o take_v care_n to_o keep_v themselves_o warm_a in_o the_o cold_a of_o winter_n and_o the_o

this_o life_n neither_o see_v he_o any_o one_o of_o they_o which_o divert_v its_o course_n of_o live_v from_o this_o ordinary_a way_n or_o be_v at_o any_o time_n solicitous_a in_o the_o pursuit_n of_o any_o other_o design_n whence_o it_o clear_o appear_v to_o he_o that_o these_o brute_n creature_n understand_v not_o any_o thing_n of_o the_o supreme_a be_v nor_o be_v affect_v with_o any_o desire_n of_o he_o nor_o be_v in_o the_o way_n or_o in_o any_o manner_n of_o capacity_n of_o obtain_v the_o knowledge_n of_o he_o but_o that_o on_o the_o contrary_a they_o all_o tend_v to_o nothing_o or_o to_o

of_o plant_n and_o vegetable_n which_o have_v but_o few_o of_o those_o sensible_a apprehension_n or_o operation_n that_o brute_n animal_n have_v for_o see_v those_o creature_n which_o be_v of_o a_o

the_o operation_n of_o plant_n extend_v not_o beyond_o nourishment_n and_o the_o propagation_n of_o kind_n after_o this_o he_o consider_v with_o himself_o §_o 63_o the_o star_n and_o the_o sphere_n of_o heaven_n and_o observe_v that_o they_o all_o move_v in_o a_o set_v constant_a order_n and_o be_v all_o carry_v about_o in_o a_o regular_a course_n he_o see_v also_o that_o they_o be_v bright_a and_o shine_a body_n and_o far_o from_o be_v subject_n to_o any_o alteration_n or_o corruption_n whereupon_o he_o strong_o guess_v that_o beside_o their_o body_n they_o have_v essence_n or_o form_n which_o know_v the_o necessary_o existent_a be_v and_o that_o these_o intelligent_a form_n or_o essence_n be_v like_a unto_o he_o and_o so_o neither_o body_n nor_o inherent_a in_o body_n for_o how_o shall_v these_o heavenly_a body_n want_v such_o form_n or_o essence_n as_o be_v free_a from_o any_o bodily_a mixture_n whenas_o he_o have_v the_o like_a who_o notwithstanding_o be_v so_o weak_a and_o frail_a and_o stand_v in_o need_n of_o so_o many_o sensible_a and_o bodily_a thing_n to_o maintain_v his_o life_n for_o see_v he_o who_o be_v rank_v in_o the_o number_n of_o corruptible_a body_n yet_o notwithstanding_o all_o his_o defect_n be_v not_o thereby_o hinder_v from_o have_v such_o a_o essence_n within_o he_o as_o be_v incorporeal_a and_o incorruptible_a much_o more_o than_o conclude_v he_o the_o same_o of_o the_o heavenly_a body_n and_o thereby_o assure_v himself_o that_o they_o know_v that_o necessary_o existent_a be_v and_o enjoy_v a_o perpetual_a vision_n thereof_o because_o there_o be_v no_o obstacle_n find_v in_o or_o about_o they_o arise_v from_o sensible_a object_n which_o can_v hinder_v they_o from_o the_o continual_a enjoyment_n of_o this_o vision_n as_o they_o ever_o and_o anon_o interrupt_v he_o then_o he_o begin_v to_o consult_v with_o §_o 64_o himself_o wherefore_o he_o alone_o among_o all_o the_o sort_n of_o live_a creature_n shall_v be_v endue_v with_o that_o essence_n or_o form_n whereby_o he_o be_v make_v to_o resemble_v the_o heavenly_a body_n for_o it_o have_v be_v manifest_o make_v appear_v to_o he_o before_o what_o be_v the_o nature_n and_o condition_n of_o the_o element_n and_o that_o some_o of_o they_o be_v change_v into_o other_o that_o whatsoever_o be_v find_v upon_o the_o surface_n of_o the_o earth_n do_v in_o no_o wise_n continue_v in_o the_o same_o form_n but_o that_o generation_n and_o corruption_n perpetual_o succeed_v each_o other_o as_o also_o that_o most_o of_o these_o body_n be_v mix_v and_o compound_v of_o contrary_a ingredient_n and_o therefore_o tend_v to_o corruption_n that_o there_o be_v nothing_o to_o be_v find_v among_o they_o which_o be_v absolute_o pure_a but_o that_o which_o be_v near_a to_o purity_n and_o simplicity_n and_o far_a remove_v from_o mixture_n among_o these_o earthly_a body_n be_v also_o far_a remove_v from_o corruption_n as_o the_o body_n of_o the_o gold_n and_o of_o the_o hyacinth_n but_o as_o for_o the_o heavenly_a body_n they_o be_v simple_a and_o pure_a and_o for_o that_o cause_n far_o distant_a from_o corruption_n so_o that_o they_o be_v not_o liable_a to_o any_o succession_n of_o form_n here_o also_o it_o appear_v to_o he_o that_o as_o to_o the_o body_n which_o be_v find_v in_o this_o low_a world_n and_o be_v subject_a to_o generation_n and_o corruption_n some_o of_o they_o be_v such_o who_o essence_n consist_v of_o one_o form_n alone_o superad_v to_o their_o corporeity_n as_o the_o four_o element_n other_o who_o essential_a state_n or_o nature_n consist_v of_o more_o than_o one_o as_o plant_n and_o animal_n it_o appear_v also_o to_o he_o that_o the_o nature_n of_o those_o body_n which_o consist_v of_o few_o form_n have_v few_o operation_n and_o be_v far_a distant_a from_o life_n and_o that_o if_o there_o be_v any_o body_n to_o be_v find_v which_o be_v destitute_a of_o a_o form_n it_o have_v no_o capacity_n of_o obtain_v life_n or_o exercise_v vital_a action_n but_o be_v in_o a_o state_n like_o to_o privation_n or_o nothing_o but_o that_o the_o body_n who_o essential_a subsistence_n consist_v of_o more_o form_n withal_o exercise_v more_o action_n and_o have_v a_o more_o easy_a and_o ready_a entrance_n to_o the_o state_n of_o life_n and_o if_o the_o form_n be_v so_o dispose_v that_o there_o be_v no_o way_n of_o separate_v it_o from_o the_o matter_n whereto_o it_o proper_o belong_v then_o be_v the_o life_n thereof_o very_o manifest_a firm_a and_o vigorous_a but_o on_o the_o contrary_a whatsoever_o body_n be_v whole_o destitute_a of_o a_o form_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d or_o matter_n have_v no_o life_n at_o all_o in_o it_o so_o that_o it_o be_v near_o of_o kin_n to_o nothing_o furthermore_o he_o see_v that_o the_o body_n which_o subsist_v in_o one_o form_n be_v the_o four_o element_n which_o have_v the_o first_o and_o low_a degree_n of_o existence_n in_o this_o low_a world_n which_o be_v subject_a to_o generation_n and_o corruption_n and_o that_o all_o other_o body_n which_o have_v more_o form_n be_v compound_v of_o these_o but_o that_o these_o element_n have_v a_o very_a weak_a kind_n of_o life_n or_o principle_n of_o action_n see_v they_o be_v move_v but_o one_o kind_n of_o way_n and_o every_o one_o of_o they_o have_v some_o contrary_n which_o manifest_o oppose_v it_o resist_v it_o in_o that_o whereunto_o its_o nature_n tend_v and_o endeavour_v to_o deprive_v it_o of_o its_o form_n
