it_o which_o be_v not_o proper_o entity_n but_o only_a modes_n of_o ens._n it_o be_v a_o folly_n to_o allege_v the_o figure_n or_o extension_n of_o those_o particle_n for_o if_o the_o subject_n i_o mean_v the_o particle_n be_v not_o the_o same_o all_o the_o accident_n which_o belong_v to_o those_o numerical_o different_a subject_n must_v be_v numerical_o different_a likewise_o and_o so_o can_v constitute_v a_o thing_n to_o be_v numerical_o one_o but_o only_o add_v more_o numerical_a thing_n to_o it_o to_o make_v it_o numerical_o many_o extension_n be_v hold_v by_o they_o to_o be_v the_o only_a essential_a form_n of_o their_o matter_n they_o so_o oughts_z if_o they_o go_v to_o work_v logical_o and_o consequential_o to_o say_v that_o particular_a extension_n of_o that_o matter_n which_o come_v along_o with_o those_o particle_n do_v give_v a_o particular_a essence_n to_o each_o of_o those_o compound_n which_o be_v make_v of_o that_o matter_n and_o so_o make_v the_o generical_a notion_n hold_v in_o every_o species_n and_o individuum_fw-la of_o that_o common_a body_n as_o entity_n which_o be_v the_o form_n of_o ens_fw-la be_v find_v in_o every_o individual_a thing_n in_o the_o whole_a world_n and_o not_o to_o make_v the_o essential_a difference_n of_o those_o body_n consist_v in_o such_o respect_n as_o be_v not_o essential_a they_o will_v tell_v we_o of_o many_o modification_n of_o each_o compound_v but_o they_o shall_v consider_v that_o modification_n of_o the_o thing_n or_o subject_n do_v supervene_v to_o it_o and_o therefore_o the_o thing_n must_v first_o be_v suppose_v to_o be_v ever_o it_o can_v be_v capable_a to_o be_v modify_v and_o it_o look_v odd_a to_o talk_v of_o modify_v what_o be_v not_o or_o of_o modify_v a_o nothing_o yet_o though_o it_o strain_v good_a sense_n they_o tell_v we_o of_o other_o essential_a modification_n of_o the_o matter_n in_o each_o compound_v as_o if_o res_n be_v not_o by_o all_o mankind_n and_o by_o the_o light_n of_o nature_n presuppose_v to_o modus_fw-la rei_fw-la but_o this_o catachesis_n they_o be_v force_v to_o by_o their_o pique_n against_o essential_a form_n the_o sense_n of_o which_o the_o goodness_n of_o rational_a nature_n force_v they_o to_o admit_v though_o out_o of_o aversion_n to_o the_o word_n they_o general_o change_v it_o into_o a_o worse_a 42._o their_o last_o evasion_n than_o be_v to_o say_v that_o those_o vegetable_n and_o animal_n be_v the_o same_o moral_o and_o indeed_o they_o can_v in_o all_o humane_a language_n pick_v out_o a_o blind_a word_n and_o of_o a_o more_o ambiguous_a signification_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v most_o proper_a to_o make_v use_n of_o for_o a_o subterfuge_n against_o clear_a reason_n i_o never_o yet_o can_v hear_v of_o any_o man_n that_o can_v define_v it_o and_o it_o be_v as_o easy_a for_o the_o tailor_n in_o the_o fable_n to_o fit_v the_o moon_n with_o a_o coat_n as_o to_o fit_v it_o with_o a_o definition_n but_o we_o will_v do_v what_o we_o can_v to_o show_v the_o different_a sense_n it_o may_v have_v in_o our_o circumstance_n and_o that_o none_o of_o they_o can_v serve_v their_o purpose_n either_o then_o to_o be_v moral_o the_o same_o signify_v that_o the_o thing_n do_v seem_v to_o we_o to_o be_v the_o same_o though_o it_o it_o be_v not_o so_o real_o but_o this_o come_v over_o to_o we_o instead_o of_o oppose_v we_o for_o our_o question_n be_v what_o be_v and_o not_o what_o seem_v nor_o be_v such_o a_o expression_n to_o be_v tolerate_v among_o philosopher_n who_o duty_n it_o be_v to_o consider_v what_o pass_v real_o in_o nature_n and_o not_o what_o only_a appear_v so_o or_o else_o these_o word_n must_v mean_v that_o the_o thing_n be_v not_o considerable_o change_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v moral_o speak_v the_o same_o but_o this_o be_v most_o evident_o false_a for_o the_o overgrow_a oak_n have_v a_o thousand_o time_n more_o quantity_n in_o it_o and_o consequent_o according_a to_o they_o more_o matter_n add_v to_o it_o than_o it_o have_v while_o it_o be_v but_o a_o sayon_n wherefore_o it_o must_v be_v more_o than_o moral_o that_o be_v considerable_o change_v according_a to_o its_o quantity_n and_o yet_o not_o at_o all_o change_v as_o it_o be_v a_o ens_fw-la or_o thing_n and_o this_o be_v all_o i_o can_v imagine_v the_o antiperipatetick_n can_v any_o way_n plead_v to_o escape_v the_o force_n of_o our_o argument_n for_o formal_a mutation_n 27._o our_o ingenious_a countryman_n mr._n locke_n go_v more_o solid_o to_o work_v by_o make_v it_o to_o be_v the_o same_o plant_n as_o long_o as_o it_o partake_v of_o the_o same_o life_n in_o a_o like_o continue_v organization_n conformable_a to_o that_o sort_n of_o plant_n for_o life_n speak_v something_o intrinsical_v and_o essential_a which_o the_o mere_a range_v of_o particle_n thus_o or_o thus_o do_v not_o unless_o we_o will_v say_v that_o a_o watch_n or_o clock_n live_v and_o therefore_o it_o argue_v some_o formal_a mutation_n of_o the_o matter_n while_o it_o be_v dispose_v fit_v and_o as_o it_o be_v digest_v so_o as_o to_o continue_v that_o life_n by_o nourish_v the_o vegetable_a for_o it_o will_v seem_v incredible_a to_o any_o considerer_n that_o particle_n of_o all_o sort_n shall_v be_v find_v in_o such_o vast_a quantity_n in_o every_o little_a spot_n of_o ground_n where_o so_o many_o several_a plant_n and_o tree_n do_v grow_v as_o be_v proper_a to_o each_o and_o sufficient_a to_o nourish_v they_o up_o t●ll_v they_o increase_v to_o such_o a_o prodigious_a bigness_n yet_o this_o must_v be_v assert_v if_o formal_a mutation_n be_v deny_v but_o i_o can_v by_o no_o mean_n allow_v what_o he_o say_v there_o that_o the_o principium_fw-la individuationis_fw-la be_v existence_n for_o since_o create_v entity_n have_v not_o existence_n from_o their_o being_n entia_fw-la or_o thing_n or_o which_o be_v the_o same_o individuum_v all_o we_o can_v say_v of_o they_o be_v that_o they_o be_v capable_a of_o exist_v and_o this_o they_o must_v have_v antecedent_o in_o priority_n of_o nature_n to_o their_o actual_a existence_n wherefore_o their_o individuation_n must_v be_v presuppose_v to_o existence_n and_o so_o can_v depend_v on_o it_o as_o on_o its_o principle_n again_o since_o plato_n flash_n of_o idea_n exist_v in_o common_a be_v now_o hiss_v out_o of_o all_o school_n if_o indeed_o that_o excellent_a man_n mean_v they_o as_o his_o opposer_n apprehend_v he_o and_o that_o neither_o man_n nor_o horse_n in_o common_a can_v exist_v but_o it_o must_v be_v determinate_o and_o particular_o this_o or_o that_o man_n horse_n etc._n etc._n it_o must_v be_v suppose_v to_o be_v constitute_v determinate_o this_o or_o that_o individuum_fw-la ere_o it_o can_v be_v capable_a of_o exist_v wherefore_o existence_n be_v a_o accidental_a formality_n superven_a to_o the_o individuum_fw-la already_o determine_v and_o make_v fit_a to_o exist_v that_o be_v to_o the_o individuum_fw-la already_o constitute_v and_o therefore_o existence_n can_v cause_v nor_o constitute_v it_o have_v i_o leisure_n and_o be_v the_o place_n proper_a i_o will_v show_v my_o respect_n to_o the_o learned_a author_n by_o give_v he_o my_o thought_n of_o his_o chapter_n concerd_v identity_n and_o diversity_n for_o it_o be_v a_o important_a subject_n and_o i_o see_v it_o be_v treat_v by_o he_o more_o elaborate_o than_o be_v some_o other_o part_n of_o that_o worthy_a book_n 43._o last_o to_o say_v no_o more_o of_o formal_a mutation_n in_o body_n let_v we_o cast_v a_o short_a view_n upon_o what_o pass_v in_o spiritual_a nature_n when_o a_o soul_n that_o before_o be_v ignorant_a become_v know_v or_o a_o wicked_a soul_n virtuous_a can_v it_o be_v deny_v that_o those_o soul_n be_v change_v according_a to_o that_o form_n call_v quality_n and_o yet_o remain_v the_o same_o according_a to_o their_o essence_n sure_o they_o can_v say_v that_o this_o be_v do_v by_o new_a atom_n aggregated_a to_o that_o soul_n or_o by_o any_o other_o of_o those_o odd_a requisite_n they_o put_v to_o induce_v a_o new_a accidental_a form_n and_o if_o not_o they_o must_v see_v and_o confess_v that_o formal_a mutation_n be_v beyond_o all_o dispute_n find_v in_o spiritual_a nature_n much_o more_o than_o may_v it_o have_v place_n in_o body_n which_o be_v subject_a to_o motion_n which_o be_v essential_o change_n be_v consequent_o of_o a_o nature_n far_o more_o changeable_a than_o spiritual_a being_n be_v what_o can_v be_v answer_v to_o those_o press_a argument_n i_o can_v in_o their_o behalf_n imagine_v nor_o i_o be_o confident_a can_v themselves_o give_v any_o reply_n that_o be_v solid_a or_o take_v from_o the_o know_a and_o acknowledge_v nature_n of_o thing_n however_o they_o may_v shuffle_v it_o off_o witty_o by_o throw_v in_o
