see_v paint_v on_o its_o foreside_n and_o in_o my_o judgement_n he_o have_v say_v rare_o have_v he_o stop_v here_o but_o in_o his_o follow_a question_n he_o show_v his_o deficiency_n even_o in_o this_o for_o he_o ask_v far_a whence_o the_o soul_n come_v and_o how_o it_o be_v unite_v to_o the_o body_n he_o be_v therefore_o most_o manifest_o detect_v to_o think_v that_o the_o soul_n lie_v hide_v in_o the_o body_n be_v of_o itself_o a_o certain_a substance_n which_o may_v direct_o be_v make_v come_v and_o be_v join_v to_o another_o thing_n whence_o he_o term_v it_o subsistence_n which_o doubtless_o denote_v a_o thing_n and_o substance_n now_o that_o this_o be_v a_o most_o important_a error_n in_o philosophy_n none_o can_v doubt_v that_o be_v able_a to_o discern_v the_o opposition_n of_o one_o and_o many_o for_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o either_o a_o man_n be_v not_o a_o thing_n or_o else_o that_o his_o soul_n and_o body_n be_v not_o two_o thing_n if_o one_o thing_n can_v at_o once_o be_v many_o nor_o many_o one_o nor_o be_o i_o scare_v with_o the_o distinction_n which_o the_o boy_n that_o gabble_v philosophy_n have_v always_o ready_a in_o their_o budget_n of_o a_o perfect_a and_o imperfect_a thing_n which_o say_v just_o nothing_o unless_o imperfect_a signify_v to_o which_o somewhat_o be_v want_v to_o make_v it_o a_o thing_n which_o suppose_v a_o imperfect_a thing_n be_v not_o a_o thing_n and_o the_o distinction_n vanish_v otherwise_o the_o same_o can_v be_v one_o thing_n and_o more_o thing_n wherefore_o either_o a_o man_n be_v not_o a_o thing_n but_o a_o pair_n of_o thing_n consist_v of_o a_o intelligence_n and_o a_o beast_n or_o his_o soul_n and_o body_n be_v not_o two_o thing_n 2._o when_o therefore_o he_o ask_v whence_o come_v the_o soul_n it_o must_v be_v answer_v with_o a_o question_n whether_o he_o doubt_v whence_o the_o man_n come_v for_o if_o whilst_o the_o man_n live_v there_o be_v but_o one_o only_a thing_n which_o be_v call_v the_o

of_o posterity_n advise_v they_o to_o pursue_v on_o the_o same_o race_n that_o it_o may_v be_v see_v whether_o any_o thing_n pure_a occur_v to_o they_o than_o to_o themselves_o ready_a to_o patronize_v whoever_o shall_v clear_v the_o truth_n but_o their_o opposition_n i_o resist_v who_o clamour_n it_o be_v the_o faith_n of_o all_o church_n that_o rational_a soul_n be_v frame_v by_o god_n for_o now_o i_o be_o accustom_a to_o it_o to_o distinguish_v between_o what_o be_v due_a to_o the_o sincerity_n of_o faith_n and_o what_o to_o scholastical_a subtlety_n if_o i_o attribute_v the_o make_v of_o man_n as_o he_o be_v intellectual_a to_o the_o singular_a power_n and_o operation_n of_o god_n i_o have_v submit_v myself_o to_o the_o key_n of_o the_o church_n doctrine_n and_o subscribe_v to_o the_o tradition_n of_o the_o saint_n but_o whether_o that_o action_n which_o be_v the_o generation_n of_o man_n consist_v of_o two_o actual_a part_n or_o be_v but_o one_o alone_a by_o more_o notion_n equivalent_a to_o more_o really-distinct_a action_n be_v a_o pure_o speculative_a question_n belong_v to_o the_o school_n and_o so_o it_o must_v be_v say_v that_o one_o thing_n a_o man_n equivalent_a to_o a_o beast_n and_o a_o intelligence_n be_v bring_v into_o existence_n by_o one_o action_n equivalent_a to_o two_o the_o generation_n of_o a_o animal_n and_o the_o creation_n of_o a_o intelligence_n 3._o by_o this_o truth_n we_o be_v lead_v to_o the_o evident_a solution_n of_o the_o two_o follow_a knot_n the_o econd_v be_v how_o the_o body_n and_o soul_n be_v unite_v which_o it_o be_v plain_a be_v herein_o faulty_a that_o it_o suppose_v two_o thing_n to_o be_v unite_v exist_v either_o before_o the_o compound_v or_o not_o destroy_v but_o tie_v together_o in_o it_o which_o be_v clear_o false_a not_o only_o out_o of_o the_o '_o fore-declare_v truth_n but_o also_o out_o the_o definition_n of_o a_o part._n for_o part_n be_v call_v such_o whereof_o by_o a_o motion_n call_v composition_n one_o thing_n be_v make_v or_o into_o which_o what_o be_v one_o be_v resolve_v by_o division_n or_o destruction_n of_o the_o unity_n now_o unity_n not_o union_n be_v the_o form_n of_o what_o be_v one_o and_o in_o that_o which_o be_v one_o to_o seek_v for_o the_o colligation_n or_o cement_n be_v to_o seek_v by_o what_o the_o same_o be_v make_v the_o same_o the_o same_o error_n run_v through_o the_o follow_a difficulty_n which_o lament_v that_o it_o be_v unknown_a how_o the_o soul_n move_v the_o body_n which_o be_v utter_o knock_v on_o the_o head_n by_o deny_v the_o soul_n move_v the_o body_n for_o true_a it_o be_v that_o one_o animate_v member_n move_v another_o but_o not_o that_o any_o substance_n which_o be_v a_o pure_a soul_n move_v immediate_o any_o member_n in_o which_o the_o soul_n be_v not_o i_o appeal_v to_o other_o animal_n in_o which_o there_o be_v frank_o deny_v to_o be_v a_o soul_n independent_a of_o the_o body_n and_o i_o desire_v to_o have_v show_v i_o what_o motion_n there_o be_v in_o man_n which_o be_v not_o in_o they_o i_o confess_v free_o that_o one_o member_n the_o brain_n especial_o move_v the_o rest_n after_o another_o manner_n in_o man_n than_o in_o other_o animal_n and_o this_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o difference_n in_o their_o soul_n but_o first_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v make_v evident_a by_o experiment_n that_o a_o humane_a soul_n without_o the_o help_n of_o the_o body_n or_o some_o member_n act_v together_o with_o it_o move_v another_o member_n before_o we_o be_v to_o inquire_v into_o the_o manner_n how_o this_o either_o be_v or_o can_v be_v do_v 4._o the_o last_o darkness_n which_o he_o bemoan_v in_o this_o chapter_n lie_v in_o our_o ignorance_n of_o that_o motion_n whereby_o the_o spirit_n be_v derive_v out_o of_o the_o brain_n into_o the_o fit_a nerve_n for_o the_o animal_n natural_a action_n and_o if_o indeed_o the_o objection_n brandish_v a_o argument_n common_a to_o all_o animal_n i_o shall_v soon_o quit_v the_o field_n for_o i_o confess_v myself_o not_o so_o skilful_a in_o anatomy_n that_o i_o can_v lay_v before_o the_o eye_n why_o from_o the_o motion_n of_o anger_n boil_v in_o the_o heart_n the_o spirit_n shall_v start_v into_o those_o muscle_n by_o who_o strein_v the_o animal_n be_v carry_v towards_o its_o adversary_n and_o from_o the_o motion_n of_o fear_n spirit_n flow_v into_o the_o opposite_a muscle_n by_o which_o the_o animal_n fly_v fromwards_o they_o whereas_o they_o in_o a_o manner_n add_v strength_n to_o and_o enforce_v both_o alike_o yet_o i_o make_v no_o question_n at_o all_o but_o by_o force_n of_o the_o brain_n be_v motion_n cause_v by_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o heart_n it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o the_o entrance_n into_o one_o sort_n of_o channel_n be_v shut_v other_o open_v and_o that_o thence_o come_v this_o admirable_a and_o as-yet-not-sufficiently-seen-through_a direction_n of_o the_o spirit_n but_o the_o author_n seem_v to_o make_v man_n case_n proper_a to_o himself_o allege_v will_n and_o perhaps_o election_n to_o be_v as_o it_o be_v the_o first_o author_n of_o this_o direction_n still_o therefore_o he_o slip_v into_o the_o same_o error_n for_o first_o he_o shall_v demonstrate_v some_o act_n of_o the_o will_n without_o some_o either_o precedent_n or_o concomitant_a motion_n of_o the_o heart_n which_o when_o it_o be_v violent_a we_o call_v passion_n when_o we_o endeavour_v at_o any_o thing_n desire_n or_o flight_n or_o some_o other_o such_o like_v we_o style_v it_o but_o if_o there_o be_v no_o such_o than_o the_o cause_n of_o this_o direction_n be_v pure_o mechanical_a as_o he_o call_v it_o and_o not_o any_o certain_a inexplicable_a power_n now_o that_o there_o can_v possible_o be_v any_o such_o exempt_a act_n of_o the_o will_n it_o be_v

the_o usual_a way_n of_o nature_n by_o motion_n therefore_o derive_v from_o the_o heart_n whether_o in_o man_n or_o in_o animal_n all_o motion_n whether_o natural_a or_o free_a universal_o be_v perform_v and_o by_o consequence_n be_v subject_a to_o the_o contemplation_n and_o scrutiny_n of_o philosophy_n and_o accurate_a mechanic_n 5._o the_o four_o chapter_n object_n that_o the_o nature_n
