whole_o impossible_a to_o comprehend_v it_o yea_o his_o own_o nature_n seem_v also_o to_o be_v manifold_a unto_o he_o whilst_o he_o consider_v the_o diversity_n of_o part_n whereof_o his_o body_n be_v make_v up_o and_o each_o of_o they_o distinguish_v from_o the_o rest_n by_o some_o action_n or_o property_n which_o be_v peculiar_a to_o it_o yea_o when_o he_o behold_v every_o single_a part_n he_o observe_v it_o to_o be_v yet_o far_a divisible_a into_o more_o part_n whence_o he_o conclude_v that_o the_o nature_n of_o his_o body_n be_v manifold_a in_o respect_n of_o its_o part_n and_o in_o like_a manner_n the_o nature_n of_o every_o other_o thing_n then_o apply_v himself_o to_o another_o §_o 26_o speculation_n in_o the_o second_o place_n he_o see_v that_o all_o the_o part_n of_o his_o

virtue_n of_o that_o spirit_n the_o nature_n whereof_o he_o have_v before_o search_v into_o and_o find_v out_o and_o that_o this_o spirit_n be_v one_o and_o the_o same_o in_o its_o nature_n and_o withal_o the_o cause_n and_o very_a substance_n of_o his_o be_v see_v all_o the_o other_o part_n which_o belong_v to_o its_o body_n serve_v only_o as_o so_o many_o instrument_n whereby_o it_o

of_o animal_n he_o see_v that_o every_o one_o of_o they_o be_v one_o and_o the_o same_o thing_n under_o this_o consideration_n then_o as_o he_o contemplate_v they_o distinct_o according_a to_o their_o several_a kind_n as_o roe_n horse_n ass_n and_o all_o sort_n of_o bird_n he_o see_v that_o the_o individual_n of_o every_o kind_n be_v like_o each_o other_o both_o as_o to_o their_o outward_a and_o their_o inward_a part_n their_o apprehension_n motion_n and_o inclination_n and_o that_o they_o differ_v not_o from_o one_o another_o but_o in_o some_o sew_v thing_n in_o comparison_n of_o those_o wherein_o they_o agree_v whence_o he_o conclude_v that_o the_o spirit_n which_o be_v in_o the_o whole_a kind_n be_v but_o one_o thing_n not_o otherwise_o differ_v but_o in_o this_o that_o it_o be_v

together_o into_o one_o vessel_n the_o whole_a thereof_o will_v be_v but_o one_o thing_n even_o as_o water_n or_o some_o other_o liquor_n which_o be_v first_o disperse_v into_o several_a vessel_n

thereof_o be_v only_o accidental_a in_o regard_n of_o the_o distribution_n into_o several_a vessel_n now_o by_o this_o way_n of_o contemplation_n he_o see_v that_o the_o whole_a kind_n or_o species_n of_o animal_n be_v but_o one_o whence_o he_o conclude_v that_o the_o multiplicity_n of_o individual_n in_o every_o kind_n be_v but_o like_o the_o multiplicity_n of_o part_n in_o the_o body_n of_o one_o and_o the_o same_o person_n which_o indeed_o be_v not_o many_o after_o this_o have_v present_v to_o the_o §_o 28_o eye_n of_o his_o mind_n the_o several_a kind_n of_o animal_n altogether_o and_o attentive_o consider_v they_o he_o see_v that_o they_o all_o agree_v in_o this_o that_o they_o have_v sense_n receive_v nourishment_n and_o move_v of_o their_o own_o accord_n whithersoever_o they_o

thereunto_o upon_o which_o consideration_n it_o appear_v to_o he_o that_o the_o animal_n spirit_n so_o communicate_v to_o the_o generality_n of_o live_a creature_n be_v in_o very_a truth_n but_o one_o though_o it_o admit_v of_o some_o small_a difference_n whereby_o the_o property_n of_o those_o animal_n become_v distinguish_v from_o each_o other_o even_o as_o spring-water_n which_o original_o have_v the_o same_o cool_a nature_n be_v pour_v into_o several_a vessel_n may_v have_v one_o part_n hot_a and_o another_o cool_a according_a as_o the_o one_o be_v heat_v and_o the_o other_o leave_v to_o its_o natural_a coolness_n so_o likewise_o may_v the_o animal_n spirit_n differ_v in_o regard_n of_o some_o quality_n or_o propriety_n according_a to_o the_o variety_n of_o constitution_n in_o several_a animal_n notwithstanding_o that_o it_o may_v be_v esteem_v but_o one_o and_o the_o same_o as_o that_o spring-water_n be_v although_o in_o some_o respect_n it_o be_v thus_o diversify_v and_o so_o under_o this_o notion_n he_o look_v on_o the_o whole_a kind_n of_o live_a creature_n as_o one_o then_o afterward_o upon_o contemplate_v §_o 29_o the_o diverse_a kind_n of_o plant_n he_o observe_v that_o the_o individual_n of_o every_o kind_n be_v like_o one_o another_o in_o respect_n of_o their_o bough_n and_o branch_n their_o leave_n flower_n or_o bloom_n bud_n and_o fruit_n with_o their_o virtue_n and_o operation_n and_o when_o he_o compare_v they_o with_o animal_n he_o find_v that_o there_o be_v some_o one_o thing_n in_o they_o which_o resemble_v the_o animal_n spirit_n whereof_o they_o be_v all_o partaker_n and_o that_o all_o of_o they_o in_o that_o respect_n be_v but_o one_o thing_n whereupon_o as_o he_o take_v a_o thorough_a view_n of_o the_o generality_n of_o plant_n he_o determine_v with_o himself_o that_o they_o be_v all_o but_o one_o in_o respect_n of_o that_o agreement_n between_o themselves_o in_o their_o operation_n viz._n in_o their_o nourishment_n and_o growth_n after_o this_o he_o comprehend_v the_o §_o 30_o generality_n of_o plant_n and_o animal_n altogether_o in_o one_o and_o the_o same_o conception_n of_o his_o mind_n and_o thereby_o see_v that_o they_o all_o agree_v in_o regard_n of_o both_o these_o namely_o in_o nutrition_n and_o augmentation_n only_o animal_n do_v exceed_v the_o plant_n and_o excel_v they_o in_o this_o that_o they_o have_v sense_n and_o apprehension_n also_o notwithstanding_o he_o observe_v withal_o that_o there_o be_v somewhat_o in_o plant_n which_o resemble_v the_o sense_n of_o animal_n as_o that_o flower_n turn_v themselves_o towards_o the_o sun_n and_o that_o the_o root_n of_o plant_n spread_v themselves_o towards_o that_o part_n of_o the_o earth_n which_o afford_v they_o nourishment_n and_o some_o other_o operation_n like_v to_o these_o whence_o it_o appear_v to_o he_o that_o both_o plant_n and_o animal_n be_v but_o one_o in_o respect_n of_o that_o one_o and_o the_o same_o thing_n which_o be_v common_a to_o they_o both_o although_o in_o the_o one_o it_o be_v perfect_a and_o complete_a in_o the_o other_o more_o limit_v and_o restrain_v by_o some_o impediment_n like_o water_n distribute_v into_o two_o portion_n whereof_o the_o one_o be_v bind_v up_o and_o congeal_v into_o ice_n the_o other_o loose_a and_o fluid_a thus_o far_o then_o he_o conclude_v that_o plant_n and_o animal_n be_v one_o kind_n of_o thing_n then_o he_o contemplate_v those_o body_n §_o 31_o which_o have_v neither_o sense_n nourishment_n nor_o growth_n such_o as_o stone_n earth_n water_n air_n and_o fire_n all_o which_o he_o see_v to_o have_v these_o three_o dimension_n length_n breadth_n and_o thickness_n and_o that_o they_o differ_v not_o otherwise_o among_o themselves_o from_o one_o another_o but_o that_o some_o be_v colour_v other_o not_o some_o hot_a and_o other_o cold_a and_o the_o like_a difference_n he_o observe_v also_o that_o the_o hot_a body_n wax_v cold_a and_o that_o the_o cold_a wax_v hot_a he_o see_v too_o that_o the_o water_n rarefy_v into_o vapour_n and_o that_o the_o vapour_n thicken_v again_o and_o turn_v into_o water_n withal_o he_o observe_v that_o the_o body_n which_o be_v burn_v turn_v into_o coal_n ash_n flame_n and_o smoke_n and_o that_o the_o smoke_n when_o it_o meet_v in_o its_o way_n with_o a_o arch_n of_o stone_n as_o it_o mount_v upward_o thicken_v there_o into_o soot_n and_o become_v like_o other_o earthy_a substance_n whence_o he_o resolve_v with_o himself_o that_o they_o be_v all_o indeed_o but_o one_o thing_n after_o the_o same_o manner_n that_o the_o animal_n and_o plant_n be_v although_o in_o some_o respect_n multiply_v and_o diversify_v then_o consider_v with_o himself_o that_o §_o 32_o one_o thing_n wherein_o he_o observe_v plant_n and_o animal_n to_o

be_v unite_v he_o see_v that_o it_o must_v necessary_o be_v some_o body_n like_o to_o these_o body_n have_v length_n and_o breadth_n and_o thickness_n and_o that_o it_o be_v either_o hot_a or_o cold_a as_o one_o of_o these_o other_o body_n which_o be_v destitute_a of_o sense_n and_o uncapable_a of_o nourishment_n but_o that_o it_o differ_v from_o they_o in_o such_o action_n as_o proceed_v from_o it_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o organical_a part_n which_o belong_v to_o plant_n and_o animal_n but_o not_o otherwise_o and_o perhaps_o such_o action_n be_v not_o essential_a to_o that_o body_n but_o derive_v to_o it_o from_o some_o other_o cause_n that_o be_v extrinsical_a thereto_o so_o that_o if_o they_o be_v in_o like_a manner_n communicate_v to_o other_o body_n they_o will_v be_v like_a unto_o this_o when_o he_o therefore_o consider_v that_o body_n in_o its_o essence_n as_o strip_v naked_a of_o all_o these_o operation_n which_o at_o the_o first_o sight_n seem_v to_o proceed_v from_o thence_o he_o see_v that_o it_o be_v no_o other_o thing_n than_o a_o body_n of_o the_o same_o kind_n with_o these_o upon_o which_o contemplation_n it_o appear_v unto_o he_o that_o all_o body_n take_v in_o general_n be_v but_o one_o as_o well_o those_o which_o have_v life_n as_o those_o which_o have_v none_o as_o well_o those_o which_o move_v as_o those_o which_o rest_v in_o their_o natural_a place_n only_o it_o appear_v that_o action_n proceed_v from_o some_o of_o they_o by_o mean_n of_o their_o organical_a part_n concern_v which_o he_o as_o yet_o know_v not_o whether_o they_o be_v essential_a to_o they_o or_o derive_v to_o they_o from_o without_o now_o whilst_o he_o be_v in_o this_o state_n of_o mind_n he_o extend_v not_o his_o thought_n beyond_o bodily_a substance_n and_o thereby_o he_o see_v that_o the_o whole_a frame_n of_o the_o creature_n be_v but_o one_o thing_n which_o former_o he_o have_v look_v upon_o and_o esteem_v as_o many_o without_o number_n or_o end_n in_o this_o opinion_n and_o state_n of_o mind_n §_o 33_o he_o continue_v for_o some_o time_n but_o afterward_o upon_o a_o view_n of_o all_o body_n as_o well_o animate_v as_o inanimate_a which_o sometime_o seem_v to_o be_v but_o one_o thing_n to_o he_o but_o otherwhiles_o many_o and_o innumerable_a he_o see_v that_o one_o of_o these_o motion_n be_v natural_a and_o necessary_a to_o they_o viz._n upward_o or_o downward_o upward_o as_o in_o smoke_n flame_n and_o air_n when_o detain_v under_o water_n downward_o as_o in_o water_n earth_n and_o its_o part_n all_o earthy_a body_n with_o the_o part_n of_o animal_n and_o plant_n also_o that_o not_o one_o of_o all_o these_o body_n be_v void_a of_o both_o these_o motion_n neither_o ever_o rest_v but_o when_o some_o other_o body_n come_v

whereas_o if_o it_o can_v it_o will_v move_v downward_o still_o as_o every_o body_n know_v and_o therefore_o if_o one_o do_v but_o lift_v it_o up_o from_o the_o earth_n he_o will_v find_v it_o to_o

the_o right_a hand_n or_o to_o the_o left_a but_o as_o soon_o as_o it_o have_v get_v out_o and_o free_v itself_o from_o that_o body_n which_o hinder_v its_o motion_n it_o mount_v up_o again_o and_o make_v its_o way_n through_o the_o air_n without_o any_o interruption_n he_o observe_v also_o that_o if_o a_o leather_n bag_n be_v fill_v with_o air_n then_o tie_v hard_o together_o and_o plunge_v into_o the_o water_n it_o will_v strive_v to_o get_v upward_o and_o struggle_v under_o the_o water_n that_o detain_v it_o nor_o ever_o cease_v to_o do_v so_o until_o it_o have_v get_v forth_o and_o

make_v a_o diligent_a search_n to_z §_o 34_o see_v whether_o he_o can_v find_v any_o body_n which_o be_v at_o any_o time_n destitute_a of_o both_o these_o motion_n or_o a_o propension_n to_o they_o but_o he_o can_v find_v none_o such_o among_o all_o those_o body_n which_o he_o have_v at_o hand_n to_o view_v and_o this_o be_v seek_v after_o out_o of_o a_o desire_n he_o have_v to_o find_v out_o what_o be_v the_o nature_n of_o a_o body_n in_o general_n and_o abstract_o consider_v without_o any_o of_o those_o quality_n which_o cause_n a_o multiplicity_n and_o diversity_n of_o kind_n but_o when_o he_o find_v this_o too_o difficult_a a_o task_n for_o he_o and_o that_o have_v consider_v all_o those_o body_n which_o among_o the_o rest_n be_v least_o subject_n to_o these_o quality_n yet_o can_v he_o see_v none_o of_o they_o in_o any_o wise_a void_a of_o one_o of_o the_o two_o viz._n either_o of_o heaviness_n or_o lightness_n he_o far_o consider_v with_o himself_o whether_o these_o

they_o agree_v to_o some_o notion_n superad_v unto_o the_o body_n because_o that_o if_o they_o belong_v to_o the_o body_n as_o it_o be_v a_o body_n no_o one_o body_n can_v be_v find_v wherein_o both_o

be_v all_o of_o they_o the_o adjunct_n of_o body_n and_o our_o sense_n apprehend_v nothing_o else_o inasmuch_o as_o they_o be_v faculty_n diffuse_v throughout_o our_o body_n and_o divisible_a

appear_v also_o now_o unto_o he_o that_o he_o apprehend_v this_o supreme_a be_v by_o that_o which_o be_v his_o essence_n and_o that_o he_o have_v a_o firm_a knowledge_n of_o this_o be_v whence_o it_o be_v clear_a to_o he_o that_o his_o essence_n whereby_o he_o apprehend_v it_o be_v somewhat_o incorporeal_a which_o have_v no_o adjunct_n of_o a_o body_n agree_v to_o it_o and_o that_o whatsoever_o

when_o he_o come_v to_o know_v that_o §_o 58_o his_o essence_n be_v not_o a_o corporeal_a substance_n apprehensible_a by_o any_o of_o his_o sense_n or_o compass_v about_o by_o his_o skin_n as_o his_o

can_v perish_v be_v corrupt_v and_o vanish_v away_o or_o on_o the_o other_o side_n be_v of_o perpetual_a duration_n whereupon_o he_o see_v that_o corruption_n and_o dissolution_n belong_v to_o the_o adjunct_n of_o body_n and_o consist_v in_o put_v off_o one_o form_n and_o put_v on_o another_o as_o for_o instance_n when_o water_n be_v turn_v into_o air_n by_o rarefaction_n and_o air_n turn_v

of_o various_a sort_n of_o plant_n which_o grow_v out_o of_o it_o and_o be_v nourish_v by_o it_o for_o this_o be_v the_o true_a notion_n of_o corruption_n so_o then_o we_o can_v any_o way_n suppose_v that_o to_o be_v liable_a unto_o corruption_n which_o be_v neither_o a_o body_n nor_o needs_o a_o body_n for_o its_o subsistence_n but_o be_v whole_o diverse_a and_o separate_v from_o all_o bodily_a
