be_v take_v from_o what_o plato_n have_v prove_v by_o thing_n grant_v for_o he_o have_v demonstrate_v that_o when_o we_o do_v learn_v we_o do_v but_o call_v to_o mind_n thing_n that_o be_v ingraff_v

be_v nothing_o else_o but_o the_o recall_v of_o they_o to_o mind_n then_o our_o soul_n have_v a_o be_v before_o it_o be_v in_o the_o form_n of_o man_n now_o if_o it_o be_v a_o harmony_n it_o be_v

soul_n be_v a_o harmony_n be_v contrary_a to_o this_o other_o say_v that_o the_o learning_n of_o thing_n be_v the_o recordation_n of_o thing_n but_o the_o opinion_n concern_v recordation_n as_o be_v aforesaid_a be_v true_a even_o in_o their_o judgement_n who_o affirm_v the_o soul_n to_o be_v a_o harmony_n therefore_o the_o soul_n be_v not_o a_o harmony_n according_a to_o their_o own_o principle_n again_o the_o soul_n be_v a_o part_n repugnant_a to_o the_o body_n and_o be_v in_o stead_n of_o a_o ruler_n exercise_v a_o government_n over_o the_o same_o but_o harmony_n neither_o exercise_v any_o

of_o the_o note_n more_o or_o less_o reach_v forth_o though_o they_o retain_v the_o same_o nature_n in_o the_o greatness_n of_o the_o sound_n but_o one_o soul_n be_v not_o more_o or_o less_o soul_n than_o another_o therefore_o the_o soul_n can_v be_v a_o harmony_n futhermore_o the_o soul_n in_o that_o it_o receive_v contrary_n succeed_v one_o another_o be_v a_o substance_n and_o a_o subject_n

which_o arise_v from_o the_o bodily-temper_n galen_n have_v determine_v nothing_o peremptory_o of_o the_o soul_n yea_o he_o himself_o affirm_v plain_o in_o his_o write_n of_o demonstration_n that_o he_o have_v deliver_v nothing_o precise_o of_o the_o same_o but_o it_o may_v be_v collect_v by_o some_o of_o his_o expression_n that_o he_o can_v be_v best_a please_v to_o affirm_v that_o the_o soul_n be_v a_o temperature_n for_o he_o say_v that_o the_o diversity_n of_o manner_n follow_v the_o temperature_n of_o the_o body_n and_o confirm_v his_o opinion_n by_o certain_a collection_n out_o of_o hypocrates_n wherein_o if_o he_o deliver_v that_o which_o he_o true_o think_v then_o doubtless_o he_o believe_v also_o that_o the_o soul_n be_v mortal_a not_o the_o whole_a soul_n but_o that_o only_a which_o be_v irrational_a for_o he_o make_v a_o doubt_n concern_v the_o reasonable_a soul_n as_o his_o word_n declare_v now_o that_o the_o temperature_n of_o the_o body_n can_v be_v the_o soul_n it_o may_v be_v make_v evident_a by_o these_o reason_n first_o every_o body_n aswell_o that_o which_o have_v life_n in_o it_o as_o that_o which_o be_v void_a of_o life_n be_v make_v of_o the_o temperature_n of_o the_o four_o element_n for_o the_o temperature_n of_o these_o element_n make_v all_o body_n and_o if_o the_o soul_n be_v the_o temperature_n of_o the_o body_n there_o can_v be_v no_o body_n with_o out_o life_n for_o if_o the_o soul_n be_v the_o temperature_n then_o every_o body_n have_v life_n in_o it_o because_o every_o body_n have_v his_o temperature_n and_o if_o every_o body_n have_v life_n in_o it_o than_o there_o be_v no_o body_n void_a of_o life_n so_o consequent_o neither_o stone_n nor_o timber_n nor_o iron_n nor_o any_o other_o thing_n can_v be_v without_o life_n but_o he_o do_v not_o mean_a perhaps_o to_o affirm_v in_o general_a that_o every_o temperature_n of_o the_o body_n be_v the_o soul_n but_o rather_o that_o some_o such_o or_o such_o a_o temperature_n we_o then_o demand_v what_o temperature_n it_o be_v which_o make_v a_o living-creature_n and_o stand_v instead_o of_o the_o soul_n for_o let_v he_o name_v what_o temperature_n soever_o he_o can_v devise_v we_o will_v find_v he_o out_o the_o like_a in_o thing_n without_o life_n there_o be_v as_o he_o himself_o have_v declare_v in_o his_o book_n entitle_v of_o the_o temperament_n nine_o temperature_n eight_o distempered_a and_o one_o in_o good_a temper_n by_o which_o as_o he_o likewise_o affirm_v every_o man_n be_v temper_v who_o temperature_n keep_v a_o mean_a but_o by_o the_o other_o distemperature_n other_o living-creature_n be_v compose_v every_o one_o according_a to_o the_o several_a kind_n thereof_o with_o a_o certain_a intention_n and_o remission_n to_o the_o more_o and_o to_o the_o less_o yea_o and_o all_o the_o nine_o temperature_n be_v find_v also_o more_o or_o less_o in_o thing_n void_a of_o life_n as_o he_o himself_o have_v teach_v in_o his_o book_n of_o simple-medicament_n moreover_o if_o the_o soul_n be_v a_o temperature_n then_o be_v the_o soul_n subject_n to_o alteration_n for_o the_o temperature_n be_v alter_v according_a to_o the_o diversity_n of_o age_n season_n and_o diet_n and_o if_o the_o soul_n be_v alter_v than_o we_o have_v not_o at_o all_o time_n the_o same_o soul_n but_o a_o soul_n vary_v according_a to_o our_o temperature_n sometime_o the_o soul_n of_o a_o lion_n sometime_o of_o a_o sheep_n and_o sometime_o of_o other_o creature_n which_o be_v absurd_o affirm_v again_o our_o temperature_n do_v not_o oppose_v itself_o against_o any_o lust_n of_o our_o body_n but_o rather_o help_v to_o provoke_v they_o or_o effect_v they_o for_o it_o be_v that_o which_o stir_v up_o the_o desire_n but_o the_o soul_n bend_v itself_o against_o those_o desire_n therefore_o our_o temperature_n be_v not_o the_o soul_n furthermore_o the_o temperature_n be_v a_o quality_n and_o a_o quality_n may_v be_v in_o the_o subject_n or_o absent_a from_o it_o without_o the_o destruction_n of_o the_o same_o subject_n now_o if_o our_o temperature_n be_v our_o soul_n it_o will_v then_o follow_v by_o the_o reason_n aforementioned_a that_o the_o soul_n may_v be_v separate_v from_o the_o body_n which_o be_v the_o subject_n thereof_o without_o the_o destruction_n of_o the_o same_o but_o this_o be_v universal_o know_v to_o be_v false_a therefore_o the_o soul_n can_v be_v neither_o temperature_n nor_o quality_n none_o will_v imagine_v it_o more_o possible_a to_o change_v that_o which_o be_v of_o the_o essence_n of_o a_o living-creature_n into_o the_o contrary_a thereof_o and_o yet_o preserve_v the_o living-creature_n then_o in_o fire_n to_o change_v the_o nature_n of_o heat_n into_o coldness_n and_o yet_o still_o continue_v the_o fire_n but_o it_o appear_v plain_o that_o our_o temperature_n do_v alter_v into_o the_o contrary_a &_o that_o such_o as_o galen_n

water_n be_v divide_v into_o certain_a portion_n and_o then_o mingle_v again_o all_o together_o they_o be_v of_o opinion_n likewise_o that_o after_o the_o dissolution_n of_o their_o body_n the_o pure_a soul_n be_v light_n do_v ascend_v unto_o the_o light_n and_o that_o soul_n which_o have_v be_v defile_v by_o the_o material_a substance_n in_o which_o they_o reside_v do_v pass_v into_o the_o element_n and_o from_o the_o element_n depart_v again_o into_o plant_n and_o living-creature_n and_o though_o they_o do_v thus_o mangle_v the_o substance_n of_o the_o soul_n by_o their_o fancy_n make_v it_o in_o effect_n both_o corporeal_a and_o subject_a to_o perturbation_n they_o say_v nevertheless_o that_o it_o be_v immortal_a but_o in_o these_o thing_n they_o contradict_v themselves_o for_o first_o they_o say_v that_o the_o soul_n which_o have_v be_v defile_v do_v return_v back_o to_o the_o element_n and_o be_v mingle_v and_o temper_a one_o with_o another_o and_o contrariwise_o in_o the_o pass_n of_o soul_n from_o body_n to_o body_n they_o say_v that_o punishment_n be_v inflict_v on_o they_o according_a to_o their_o offence_n join_v and_o separate_v again_o the_o nature_n of_o they_o as_o occasion_n serve_v they_o hold_v likewise_o that_o when_o it_o be_v light_n shadow_n be_v disperse_v and_o when_o all_o be_v cover_v with_o cloud_n that_o the_o shadow_n be_v gather_v together_o which_o can_v possible_o come_v to_o pass_v in_o a_o intelligible_a nature_n for_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v grant_v that_o shadow_n be_v disperse_v and_o gather_v again_o we_o must_v then_o count_v shadow_n among_o thing_n subject_a unto_o sense_n plato_n be_v of_o opinion_n that_o there_o be_v both_o one_o general_a soul_n and_o many_o particular_a soul_n one_o soul_n for_o the_o whole_a world_n altogether_o and_o other_o soul_n for_o particular_a thing_n in_o such_o manner_n that_o the_o whole_a world_n be_v endue_v with_o a_o proper_a soul_n of_o its_o own_o even_o with_o that_o soul_n which_o belong_v unto_o the_o whole_a world_n and_o so_o also_o that_o particular_a thing_n be_v endue_v with_o their_o proper_a soul_n even_o with_o the_o soul_n which_o be_v peculiar_a unto_o every_o one_o of_o they_o the_o soul_n say_v he_o which_o pertain_v to_o the_o universe_n be_v stretch_v forth_o from_o the_o centre_n of_o the_o earth_n to_o the_o uttermost_a limit_n of_o the_o heaven_n not_o as_o though_o he_o conceive_v such_o a_o stretch_v forth_o as_o be_v enclose_v in_o place_n but_o such_o a_o extension_n rather_o as_o be_v conceive_v in_o our_o understanding_n and_o he_o say_v that_o this_o be_v the_o soul_n which_o turn_v about_o the_o whole_a globe_n and_o which_o hold_v in_o and_o bind_v together_o all_o such_o thing_n as_o have_v bodily_a shape_n for_o

platonist_n so_o long_o as_o it_o be_v hold_v and_o knit_v together_o they_o term_v it_o a_o body_n and_o when_o it_o be_v dissolve_v they_o say_v it_o be_v corrupt_v or_o destroy_v they_o affirm_v also_o that_o all_o thing_n live_v but_o say_v not_o that_o all_o thing_n be_v living-creature_n for_o they_o distinguish_v plant_n from_o thing_n inanimate_a for_o that_o they_o increase_v and_o be_v nourish_v by_o a_o nourish_a and_o vegitative_a power_n they_o distinguish_v the_o living-creature_n void_a of_o reason_n from_o plant_n by_o sense_n and_o the_o rational_a from_o the_o irrational_a by_o reason_n thus_o though_o they_o affirm_v general_o that_o all_o thing_n live_v yet_o they_o distinguish_v the_o nature_n of_o every_o living-thing_n such_o thing_n as_o be_v utter_o void_a of_o
