which_o convention_n of_o accident_n be_v capable_a of_o perform_v what_o we_o usual_o ascribe_v to_o a_o form_n since_o they_o be_v sufficient_a to_o discriminate_a it_o from_o all_o other_o

not_o be_v amiss_o here_o to_o take_v notice_n that_o beside_o those_o operation_n that_o proceed_v from_o the_o essential_a modification_n of_o the_o matter_n the_o body_n be_v consider_v per_fw-la

from_o hence_o their_o fertility_n may_v sufficient_o appear_v i_o shall_v proceed_v to_o answer_v a_o three_o objection_n answer_v the_o last_o difficulty_n raise_v against_o the_o corpuscular_a philosophy_n which_o be_v that_o if_o the_o quality_n of_o body_n depend_v on_o the_o size_n shape_n and_o texture_n of_o body_n all_o body_n of_o the_o same_o colour_n must_v have_v the_o same_o texture_n and_o if_o the_o same_o texture_n the_o same_o quality_n in_o other_o respect_n but_o we_o see_v it_o be_v contrary_a since_o the_o calx_fw-la of_o hartshorn_n be_v insipid_a and_o yet_o the_o volatile_a salt_n of_o hartshorn_n be_v very_o strong_a scent_v and_o of_o as_o strong_a a_o taste_n to_o which_o a_o great_a many_o more_o example_n may_v be_v add_v be_v it_o necessary_a difficulty_n consideration_n in_o order_n to_o remove_v the_o difficulty_n but_o i_o shall_v rather_o since_o it_o be_v not_o requisite_a offer_v the_o follow_a consideration_n to_o remove_v the_o difficulty_n first_o that_o several_a heterogeneous_a part_n may_v be_v lodge_v in_o the_o pore_n of_o a_o body_n which_o though_o of_o a_o different_a nature_n from_o the_o body_n itself_o yet_o they_o may_v produce_v some_o considerable_a effect_n as_o in_o perfume_a glove_n the_o odoriferous_a part_n be_v both_o different_a in_o substance_n and_o have_v different_a quality_n from_o the_o leather_n the_o glove_n be_v make_v of_o the_o second_o consideration_n be_v that_o part_n of_o very_o different_a nature_n may_v be_v link_v together_o not_o in_o a_o essential_a structure_n but_o a_o juxta-position_n or_o peculiar_a kind_n of_o composition_n and_o yet_o afford_v the_o same_o quality_n notwithstanding_o their_o essential_a difference_n for_o invisible_a change_n in_o some_o part_n of_o matter_n may_v be_v sufficient_a to_o cause_v new_a quality_n though_o the_o essential_a part_n of_o those_o body_n be_v unaltered_a and_o not_o only_o so_o but_o diversify_v enough_o to_o denominate_v they_o of_o different_a species_n so_o a_o bar_n of_o iron_n by_o be_v hammer_v may_v feel_v hot_a though_o there_o be_v no_o visible_a alteration_n in_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o metal_n by_o a_o intense_a agitation_n of_o the_o insensible_a part_n of_o it_o but_o to_o illustrate_v this_o consideration_n a_o little_a further_o though_o a_o piece_n of_o iron_n wood_n or_o tin_n shall_v have_v sharp_a protuberant_a part_n yet_o be_v they_o distinct_a substance_n notwithstanding_o they_o all_o agree_v in_o that_o quality_n of_o roughness_n and_o if_o those_o rough_a part_n be_v wear_v off_o and_o the_o body_n endow_v with_o a_o smooth_a quality_n yet_o still_o will_v they_o in_o respect_n of_o their_o substance_n remain_v unaltered_a and_o though_o the_o superficies_n of_o steel_n brass_n flint_n or_o marble_n shall_v be_v polish_v as_o to_o become_v specular_a their_o essential_a difference_n will_v still_o be_v the_o same_o and_o as_o i_o take_v notice_n before_o though_o air_n be_v put_v into_o a_o undulate_a motion_n by_o different_a instrument_n yet_o if_o the_o motion_n be_v raise_v to_o the_o same_o degree_n it_o cause_v the_o same_o sound_n and_o produce_v the_o same_o note_n so_o that_o body_n may_v agree_v in_o some_o extra-essential_a attribute_n and_o yet_o be_v different_a in_o their_o essential_a modification_n to_o confirm_v the_o truth_n of_o which_o heat_n will_v afford_v we_o a_o eminent_a example_n which_o may_v be_v produce_v in_o a_o body_n by_o put_v its_o part_n into_o agitation_n without_o destroy_v the_o essential_a property_n of_o the_o body_n so_o affect_v so_o that_o the_o essential_a nature_n of_o a_o body_n may_v not_o be_v concern_v in_o reflect_v the_o ray_n of_o light_n which_o produce_v those_o extra-essential_a quality_n which_o be_v call_v colour_n since_o to_o produce_v whiteness_n in_o a_o body_n it_o be_v sufficient_a that_o the_o surface_n of_o that_o body_n be_v so_o modify_v as_o to_o reflect_v the_o ray_n of_o light_n copious_o and_o undisturbed_a whatever_o the_o essential_a and_o proper_a texture_n of_o that_o body_n be_v sense_n different_n quality_n afford_v by_o body_n homogeneous_a as_o to_o sense_n and_o here_o it_o may_v be_v proper_a to_o take_v notice_n that_o there_o be_v several_a body_n homogeneous_a as_o to_o sense_n which_o afford_v different_a quality_n as_o salt-peter_n become_v fluid_a and_o transparent_a when_o brisk_o agitate_a in_o a_o crucible_n whereas_o it_o have_v other_o quality_n when_o cool_a be_v a_o hard_a and_o white_a brittle_a substance_n and_o the_o powder_n of_o alabaster_n be_v due_o expose_v to_o a_o convenient_a heat_n acquire_v several_a quality_n not_o different_a from_o those_o of_o fluid_a body_n so_o aqua_fw-la fortis_fw-la although_o it_o be_v transparent_a and_o clear_a yet_o if_o raise_v in_o the_o form_n of_o fume_n it_o put_v on_o a_o red_a colour_n the_o three_o thing_n i_o will_v propose_v to_o remove_v this_o difficulty_n be_v what_o have_v be_v several_a time_n hint_v before_o viz._n that_o a_o body_n be_v not_o to_o be_v consider_v bare_o as_o a_o determinate_a substance_n but_o as_o a_o part_n of_o the_o universe_n and_o place_v among_o other_o body_n but_o four_o as_o to_o that_o part_n of_o the_o objection_n which_o question_n the_o corpuscular_a principle_n in_o make_v it_o appear_v why_o a_o body_n so_o qualify_v

that_o the_o extra-essential_a part_n may_v be_v so_o qualify_v though_o the_o essential_a part_n be_v not_o alter_v which_o we_o have_v more_o reason_n to_o believe_v since_o most_o sensible_a

to_o be_v admire_v that_o odour_n shall_v depend_v on_o so_o slight_a a_o texture_n that_o camphire_n by_o a_o bare_a separation_n of_o its_o part_n shall_v lose_v its_o scent_n and_o upon_o the_o

whole_o for_o a_o time_n alter_v the_o quality_n of_o the_o latter_a and_o that_o several_a of_o the_o precede_a phaenomena_n be_v cause_v by_o the_o particular_a texture_n of_o the_o liquor_n make_v use_v of_o to_o exhibit_v they_o be_v manifest_a because_o if_o camphire_n be_v cast_v into_o spirit_n of_o nitre_n well_o dephlegm_v it_o will_v not_o afford_v those_o phaenomena_n which_o it_o do_v with_o oil_n of_o vitriol_n and_o when_o to_o the_o red_a mixture_n abovementioned_a two_o or_o three_o part_n of_o spirit_n of_o wine_n be_v add_v instead_o of_o water_n no_o such_o change_n
