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 body_n though_o many_o in_o number_n yet_o be_v so_o knit_v and_o conjoin_v together_o that_o they_o be_v no_o way_n divide_v from_o each_o other_o but_o make_v up_o one_o and_o the_o same_o body_n nor_o differ_v among_o themselves_o any_o otherwise_o than_o in_o regard_n of_o their_o action_n and_o use_n which_o diversity_n be_v cause_v by_o that_o which_o proceed_v from_o the_o animal_n 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 perform_v all_o its_o operation_n so_o that_o in_o this_o respect_n also_o his_o essence_n be_v but_o one_o after_o this_o turn_v his_o eye_n hence_o §_o 27_o and_o look_v on_o the_o other_o kind_n 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 distribute_v into_o several_a heart_n insomuch_o that_o if_o it_o be_v possible_a to_o recollect_v all_o that_o spirit_n which_o be_v disperse_v into_o so_o many_o heart_n and_o gather_v it_o 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 and_o afterward_o gather_v into_o one_o be_v one_o and_o the_o same_o thing_n in_o both_o state_n as_o well_o that_o of_o dispersion_n as_o that_o of_o recollection_n see_v that_o the_o multiply_v 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 please_v which_o action_n he_o well_o know_v be_v the_o proper_a effect_n of_o the_o animal_n spirit_n and_o as_o to_o the_o other_o wherein_o they_o differ_v they_o be_v not_o very_o proper_a 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
