that_o be_v the_o first_o matter_n out_o of_o which_o all_o body_n be_v compose_v and_o into_o which_o by_o a_o universal_a division_n they_o may_v be_v reduce_v the_o second_o be_v nothing_o else_o

in_o divers_a respect_n chap._n xviii_o of_o the_o first_o matter_n all_o philosopher_n do_v unanimous_o agree_v that_o there_o be_v a_o first_o matter_n in_o the_o world_n which_o be_v produce_v

this_o do_v suppose_v that_o the_o first_o matter_n do_v exist_v before_o the_o generation_n of_o the_o compound_v wherein_o it_o be_v find_v and_o that_o it_o still_o remain_v and_o survive_v the_o

partly_o also_o in_o the_o ash_n it_o be_v agree_v by_o all_o man_n that_o nothing_o be_v make_v out_o of_o nothing_o and_o that_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o nature_n which_o can_v be_v reduce_v into_o nothing_o so_o that_o the_o first_o remain_v one_o and_o the_o same_o in_o all_o the_o revolution_n which_o do_v happen_v therefore_o in_o respect_n of_o matter_n we_o may_v just_o say_v that_o

this_o first_o matter_n be_v all_o and_o the_o one_o only_a difficulty_n if_o we_o harken_v to_o aristotle_n he_o make_v it_o the_o subject_a of_o all_o form_n and_o that_o it_o be_v nothing_o but_o a_o passive_a power_n or_o a_o mere_a capacity_n of_o produce_v and_o receive_v they_o in_o its_o bosom_n he_o say_v in_o another_o place_n that_o matter_n in_o itself_o have_v neither_o quality_n

at_o the_o same_o time_n that_o it_o be_v nothing_o and_o that_o it_o give_v that_o be_v to_o form_n and_o receive_v the_o same_o from_o it_o and_o last_o that_o it_o have_v distinct_a part_n without_o any_o quantity_n which_o seem_v to_o be_v impossible_a they_o be_v more_o in_o the_o right_n who_o say_v that_o the_o first_o matter_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o the_o first_o element_n into_o which_o compound_v by_o a_o total_a dissolution_n be_v reduce_v also_o these_o element_n ought_v to_o be_v simple_a and_o indivisible_a for_o otherwise_o the_o first_o element_n be_v not_o such_o as_o we_o suppose_v they_o to_o be_v it_o follow_v from_o this_o doctrine_n that_o neither_o water_n nor_o air_n nor_o earth_n nor_o fire_n be_v the_o first_o element_n of_o thing_n because_o

be_v salt_n sulphur_n and_o mercury_n can_v be_v take_v for_o the_o first_o element_n of_o body_n since_o they_o be_v but_o compound_v of_o many_o other_o body_n i_o be_o of_o the_o same_o opinion_n

be_v the_o first_o element_n of_o natural_a body_n i_o confess_v it_o be_v hard_o to_o imagine_v a_o corporeal_a thing_n to_o be_v indivisible_a because_o we_o see_v nothing_o in_o this_o world_n which_o be_v not_o divisible_a but_o this_o make_v nothing_o against_o atom_n which_o be_v corporeal_a because_o they_o compose_v body_n and_o be_v indivisible_a because_o they_o be_v the_o first_o

second_o they_o do_v not_o consider_v that_o that_o which_o compose_v a_o body_n be_v not_o a_o compound_n as_o we_o see_v that_o unity_n make_v number_n though_o itself_o be_v not_o a_o number_n
