and_o movable_a because_o it_o work_v temporal_o where_o we_o term_v it_o intellectual_a we_o mean_v the_o angelical_a intellect_n which_o be_v proper_o perfect_a and_o indivisible_a according_a to_o

of_o the_o world_n be_v a_o certain_a body_n compose_v of_o all_o the_o four_o element_n the_o member_n or_o part_n whereof_o be_v the_o body_n of_o all_o live_a creature_n for_o the_o small_a body_n

any_o one_o live_v creature_n hence_o be_v it_o absurd_a to_o think_v that_o a_o imperfect_a body_n shall_v have_v a_o soul_n but_o that_o it_o neither_o have_v a_o soul_n nor_o can_v live_v perfect_a none_o will_v be_v so_o mad_a as_o to_o say_v the_o part_n live_v and_o not_o the_o whole_a therefore_o the_o whole_a body_n of_o the_o world_n live_v whilst_o the_o body_n of_o the_o animal_n

in_o the_o power_n of_o fire_n and_o this_o we_o be_v sensible_a of_o in_o our_o own_o body_n but_o much_o more_o if_o we_o do_v but_o consider_v how_o the_o fire_n by_o no_o mean_n putrefi_v nor_o

of_o the_o world_n have_v its_o residence_n in_o heaven_n of_o necessity_n it_o must_v live_v in_o a_o fiery_a substance_n for_o heaven_n be_v a_o fiery_a essence_n but_o withal_o most_o temperate_a
