our selues that there is a substance sustaining those accidents which doth alwaies remaine though the accidents doe faile or change neuer so often As for example Wee see in water that though it be sometime hot and sometime cold now of one colour and now of another yet the substance of water doth still remaine so as we may perceiue those accidents to be one thing and the substance of water to be another Now as touching the kindes of substance according to Aristotle there be two that is first and second What call you first substances First substances be those substances which the Logicians call Indiuidua as Iohn Thomas this man or that man this horse or that horse and by reason of their accidents are to bee discerned with outward senses Which call you second substances Second substances are those which they call speciall kindes and generall kindes as man a sensible body a liuing body and such like which are to be comprehended only by mans reason and be not subiect to our outward senses as first substances bee And these second substances are otherwise called of the Schoolemen vniuersall natures How many properties doe belong to substance These three First substance is contained in no subiect as an accident is for though the parts of a mans body be contained in the whole yet euery such part is a peculiar body or substance and hath his proper being of it selfe so well as the whole whereas accidents without substance haue no being at all Secondly substances are said to be diuers but not contrary one to another for neither is fire as touching his substance contrary to water nor the Wolfe contrary to the Lambe but onely in respect of their qualitie whereunto contrarietie doth properly belong Thirdly of substances one cannot be more or lesse then another for the greatest Giant as touching substance is no more a man then the least Dwarfe that is neither is a man full growne more a man then a childe newly borne for more or lesse appertaineth properly to quantitie and not to substance But if you will vnderstand how farre the predicament of substance doth extend and what it comprehendeth consider well this Table following whereby you may learne how to define any kinde of substance whatsoeuer it be for there you shall finde all the kindes both generall and speciall together with their differences most plainly set forth The Table of Substance Substance is either without body as An Angell as Gabriel Michael c. A spirit or soule separate from the body as the spirit or soule of this or that dead man Or with body if it bee with body it is either Simple if it be simple it is either Celestiall as the eleuen heauens and all the starres and planets Or elementall as fire aire water earth Or compound if it bee compound it is either liuing if it be liuing it is either Sensible if it be a sensible body called in Latine animal it is either Reasonable as man as Socrates Plato Virgil Or vnreasonable as A bird or fowle as a Larke c. A 4. footed beast as a horse A fish as a salmo a creeping beast as a worme a snake a viper Or vnsensible as a plāt which is either A tree as an Oke an Apple-tree c. A shrubbe as briers broome c. Or hearbe as Thyme Isope Margerum or vnliuing if it be vnliuing it is either Perfect if it be perfect it is either Metall as gold and siluer c. Or stone which is either Naturall as a precious stone a flint Or artificiall as a tile or bricke Or liquor as wine hony c. or vnperfect as Firie impressions as thunder lightning Or watrie impressions as raine ha●…le snow c. CHAP. IX Of Quantitie WHat is quantitie and how is it diuided Quantitie is that which comprehendeth the greatnesse and number or multitude of things and is diuided into two kindes that is whole and broken What is whole quantitie Whole quantitie called in Latine quantitas continua is that whose parts are ioined together with some common bound or limit which is the ending of one part and the beginning of another as the parts of the line here set downe in the margent marked with the letters a. c. are coupled together with the middle point b. which point is the ending of a. b. and the beginning of b. c. How many kindes of whole quantitie be there Of whole quantitie there be three kindes that is linea superficies and corpus Shew how they are defined and diuided Linea in English a line is a length without either bredth or thicknesse which is either right or crooked ●…ight as a yard an ell or pole crooked as a hoope or circle Superficies which wee may properly interprete to be the vpper face of any thing is a length and bredth without depth or thicknesse and that is either plaine or bowing plaine as a plaine or smooth floore bowing or compassing as a vault or ouen whereof the outward side is called conu●…x and the inward side concaue or hollow Corpus which is as much to say as a body is that which hath both length bredth and depth and that is either round or with angles round as a bowle or ball with a●…gles or co●…ners as a square die or such like thing All which three kindes of quantitie are to be considered onely with the minde mathematically as things abstract and separated from all k●…nde of matter t●…at is to say as things that haue no being ●…t al but imaginatiuely and yet so nec●…ssarily inuented by man as nothing can be measured without them To these three kindes of whole quantitie may be also added two other kindes that is to say mouing and time being taken for the measure space or distance of place or time wherein any thing is moued How many kindes of this mouing be there and which be they Of this mouing there be three kindes that is right circular and mixt The right belongeth to the foure elements and to bodies without life for their natuall mouing is either right vpward or else right downeward as the fire whose proper mouing is alwaies to ascend right vp and the mouing of a stone or such like heauie thing is to fall right downeward for according to the rules of philosophie all light things doe moue vpward and all heauie things downeward Circular or round mouing belongeth to the heauens and celestiall bodies which doe turne round like a Cart wheele The mixt mouing that is to say partly right and partly round belongeth to all liuing beasts that goe sometime forward sometime backward or sidelong sometime vpward and sometime downeward How is time diuided Time is diuided into three kindes that is into time past time present and time to come and vnder time are comprehended yeares moneths weekes daies houres and all other words signifying distance or difference of time What is broken quantitie Broken quantitie called of the Latines quantitas discreta is that whose parts
