its_o own_o species_n that_o the_o mutability_n of_o creature_n be_v whole_o take_v away_o neither_o can_v any_o creature_n various_o exercise_v any_o great_a participation_n of_o divine_a goodness_n or_o be_v advance_v or_o promote_v to_o any_o far_a perfection_n §_o 6._o all_o which_o we_o shall_v demonstrate_v by_o one_o or_o two_o example_n and_o first_o let_v we_o take_v a_o horse_n which_o be_v a_o creature_n endue_v with_o divers_a degree_n of_o perfection_n by_o his_o creator_n as_o not_o only_a strength_n of_o body_n but_o as_o i_o may_v so_o say_v a_o certain_a kind_n of_o knowledge_n how_o he_o ought_v to_o serve_v his_o master_n and_o moreover_o also_o love_n fear_v courage_n memory_n and_o divers_a other_o quality_n which_o be_v in_o man_n which_o also_o we_o may_v observe_v in_o a_o dog_n and_o many_o other_o animal_n see_v therefore_o the_o divine_a power_n goodness_n and_o wisdom_n have_v create_v every_o creature_n good_a and_o indeed_o so_o that_o it_o may_v by_o continual_a augmentation_n in_o its_o mutability_n be_v advance_v to_o a_o great_a degree_n of_o goodness_n ad_fw-la infinitum_fw-la whereby_o the_o glory_n of_o those_o attribute_n do_v more_o and_o more_o shine_v forth_o and_o see_v such_o be_v the_o nature_n of_o every_o creature_n that_o it_o be_v always_o in_o motion_n or_o operation_n which_o do_v most_o certain_o tend_v unto_o a_o high_a degree_n of_o goodness_n as_o the_o reward_n and_o fruit_n of_o its_o labour_n unless_o the_o creature_n hinder_v that_o good_a by_o a_o voluntary_a transgression_n and_o abuse_v of_o that_o indifferency_n of_o will_n which_o god_n place_v in_o they_o in_o their_o creation_n now_o i_o demand_v unto_o what_o high_a perfection_n and_o degree_n of_o goodness_n the_o be_v or_o essence_n of_o a_o horse_n do_v or_o may_v attain_v after_o he_o have_v do_v good_a service_n for_o his_o master_n and_o so_o perform_v his_o duty_n and_o what_o be_v proper_a for_o such_o a_o creature_n be_v a_o horse_n then_o a_o mere_a fabric_n or_o dead_a matter_n or_o have_v he_o a_o spirit_n in_o he_o have_v knowledge_n sense_n and_o love_n and_o divers_a other_o faculty_n and_o property_n of_o a_o spirit_n if_o he_o have_v which_o can_v be_v deny_v what_o become_v of_o this_o spirit_n when_o the_o horse_n die_v if_o it_o be_v say_v it_o pass_v into_o life_n and_o take_v upon_o it_o another_o body_n of_o a_o horse_n so_o that_o it_o become_v a_o horse_n as_o before_o which_o horse_n may_v be_v strong_a and_o fair_a and_o of_o a_o more_o excellent_a spirit_n than_o before_o very_o well_o but_o if_o he_o shall_v die_v two_o three_o or_o four_o time_n etc._n etc._n shall_v he_o always_o remain_v a_o horse_n though_o he_o be_v still_o better_o and_o more_o excellent_a by_o how_o much_o the_o often_o his_o spirit_n revolve_v now_o i_o demand_v whether_o the_o spirit_n of_o a_o horse_n have_v in_o it_o such_o infinite_a perfection_n that_o a_o horse_n may_v always_o become_v better_a and_o better_a ad_fw-la infinitum_fw-la and_o yet_o so_o as_o to_o remain_v a_o horse_n for_o as_o the_o common_a receive_v opinion_n be_v this_o visible_a earth_n shall_v not_o always_o remain_v in_o the_o same_o state_n which_o may_v be_v confirm_v by_o undeniable_a reason_n now_o it_o necessary_o follow_v that_o the_o continual_a generation_n of_o animal_n in_o these_o gross_a body_n shall_v cease_v also_o for_o if_o the_o earth_n shall_v take_v on_o it_o another_o form_n neither_o any_o long_o bring_v forth_o grass_n horse_n and_o other_o animal_n shall_v cease_v to_o be_v such_o as_o they_o be_v before_o and_o see_v they_o want_v their_o proper_a aliment_n they_o can_v remain_v in_o the_o same_o species_n yet_o nevertheless_o they_o be_v not_o annihilate_v as_o may_v be_v easy_o conceive_v for_o how_o can_v any_o thing_n be_v annihilate_v see_v the_o goodness_n of_o god_n towards_o his_o creature_n always_o remain_v the_o same_o and_o the_o conservation_n or_o continuation_n of_o creature_n be_v a_o continue_a creation_n as_o be_v general_o grant_v and_o already_o before_o demonstrate_v that_o god_n be_v a_o perpetual_a creator_n and_o as_o he_o be_v the_o most_o free_a so_o also_o the_o most_o necessary_a agent_n but_o if_o it_o be_v deny_v that_o the_o earth_n be_v unchangeable_a as_o before_o be_v say_v than_o it_o will_v come_v to_o pass_v that_o horse_n and_o other_o animal_n according_a to_o their_o proportion_n will_v be_v in_o like_a manner_n change_v with_o the_o earth_n and_o the_o earth_n according_a to_o the_o same_o proportion_n will_v again_o produce_v or_o yield_v they_o aliment_n or_o food_n agreeable_a to_o their_o change_a condition_n then_o i_o demand_v whether_o they_o shall_v always_o remain_v in_o the_o same_o species_n under_o such_o a_o change_n or_o whether_o there_o will_v not_o be_v some_o difference_n between_o that_o state_n and_o this_o as_o for_o example_n there_o be_v between_o a_o cow_n and_o a_o horse_n which_o be_v common_o grant_v to_o be_v specifical_a again_o i_o ask_v whether_o the_o species_n of_o creature_n do_v so_o infinite_o one_o excel_v another_o that_o a_o individual_a of_o one_o particular_a species_n may_v still_o go_v forward_o in_o perfection_n and_o approach_v near_o unto_o another_o species_n but_o yet_o never_o reach_v so_o far_o as_o to_o be_v change_v into_o that_o species_n as_o for_o instance_n a_o horse_n in_o divers_a quality_n and_o perfection_n draw_v near_o unto_o the_o nature_n and_o species_n of_o a_o man_n and_o that_o more_o than_o many_o other_o creature_n be_v therefore_o the_o nature_n of_o a_o man_n distant_a from_o the_o nature_n of_o a_o horse_n by_o infinite_a degree_n or_o by_o finite_a only_o if_o by_o finite_a then_o certain_o a_o horse_n may_v in_o length_n of_o time_n be_v in_o some_o measure_n change_v into_o a_o man_n i_o mean_v his_o spirit_n as_o for_o his_o body_n that_o be_v a_o thing_n evident_a if_o infinite_o distant_a then_o unto_o any_o man_n even_o one_o of_o the_o vile_a and_o base_a nature_n and_o disposition_n may_v be_v attribute_v a_o certain_a infinite_a excellence_n in_o act_n such_o as_o only_o agree_v to_o god_n and_o christ_n but_o to_o no_o creature_n for_o the_o high_a excellence_n of_o a_o creature_n be_v to_o be_v infinite_a only_o in_o potentiâ_fw-la not_o in_o actû_fw-fr that_o be_v to_o be_v still_o in_o a_o possibility_n of_o attain_v a_o great_a perfection_n and_o excellence_n ad_fw-la infinitum_fw-la though_o in_o can_v never_o reach_v this_o infinite_a for_o how_o far_o soever_o any_o finite_a be_v may_v proceed_v yet_o that_o be_v still_o finite_a although_o there_o be_v no_o limit_n to_o its_o progression_n as_o for_o example_n if_o we_o can_v ever_o come_v to_o the_o least_o minute_n of_o eternity_n or_o the_o like_a part_n of_o infinite_a duration_n that_o will_v not_o be_v infinite_a but_o finite_a neither_o do_v we_o herein_o contradict_v what_o be_v deliver_v in_o the_o three_o chapter_n of_o the_o infiniteness_n of_o creature_n for_o it_o be_v not_o mean_v of_o their_o infinite_a goodness_n and_o excellence_n but_o in_o respect_n only_o of_o multitude_n and_o magnitude_n so_o that_o the_o one_o can_v be_v number_v nor_o the_o other_o measure_v by_o the_o comprehension_n of_o any_o create_a intellect_n yet_o the_o individual_n of_o creature_n be_v always_o but_o finite_o good_a and_o finite_o distant_a quoad_fw-la species_n or_o as_o to_o species_n and_o only_o potential_o infinite_a that_o be_v always_o capable_a of_o far_a perfection_n without_o end_n as_o if_o there_o shall_v be_v suppose_v a_o certain_a ladder_n which_o shall_v be_v infinite_o long_a contain_v infinite_a step_n yet_o those_o step_n be_v not_o

of_o thing_n which_o can_v be_v infinite_o distant_a one_o from_o another_o or_o from_o those_o which_o be_v next_o unto_o they_o yea_o daily_a experience_n teach_v we_o that_o the_o species_n of_o divers_a thing_n be_v change_v one_o into_o another_o as_o earth_n into_o water_n and_o water_n into_o air_n and_o air_n into_o fire_n or_o aether_n and_o the_o contrary_a as_o fire_n into_o air_n and_o air_n into_o water_n etc._n etc._n which_o yet_o be_v distinct_a species_n of_o thing_n and_o so_o also_o stone_n be_v change_v into_o metal_n and_o one_o metal_n into_o another_o but_o least_o some_o shall_v say_v these_o be_v only_o naked_a body_n and_o have_v no_o spirit_n we_o shall_v observe_v the_o same_o not_o only_o in_o vegetable_n but_o also_o in_o animal_n like_a as_o barley_n

and_o body_n and_o although_o they_o be_v thus_o unite_v yet_o they_o still_o remain_v different_a in_o nature_n one_o from_o another_o and_o so_o can_v be_v change_v one_o into_o another_o to_o this_o i_o answer_v if_o every_o body_n even_o the_o least_o have_v in_o it_o the_o spirit_n of_o all_o animal_n and_o other_o thing_n even_o as_o matter_n be_v say_v to_o have_v in_o it_o all_o

distinct_a from_o body_n can_v actual_o exist_v in_o their_o distinct_a essence_n in_o so_o small_a a_o body_n even_o in_o the_o least_o that_o can_v be_v conceive_v unless_o it_o be_v by_o intrinseck_n presence_n which_o be_v not_o communicable_a to_o any_o creature_n as_o be_v already_o prove_v for_o if_o all_o kind_n of_o spirit_n be_v in_o any_o even_o the_o least_o body_n how_o come_v it_o to_o pass_v that_o such_o a_o animal_n be_v produce_v of_o this_o body_n and_o not_o another_o yea_o how_o come_v it_o to_o pass_v that_o all_o kind_n of_o animal_n be_v not_o immediate_o produce_v out_o of_o one_o and_o the_o same_o body_n which_o experience_n deny_v for_o we_o see_v that_o nature_n keep_v her_o order_n in_o all_o her_o operation_n whence_o one_o animal_n be_v form_v of_o another_o and_o one_o species_n proceed_v from_o another_o as_o well_o when_o it_o ascend_v to_o a_o far_a perfection_n as_o when_o it_o descend_v to_o a_o vile_a state_n and_o condition_n but_o if_o they_o say_v all_o spirit_n be_v contain_v in_o any_o body_n not_o actual_o in_o their_o distinct_a essence_n but_o only_o potential_o as_o they_o term_v it_o than_o it_o must_v be_v grant_v that_o the_o body_n and_o all_o those_o spirit_n be_v one_o and_o the_o same_o thing_n that_o be_v that_o a_o body_n may_v be_v turn_v into_o they_o as_o when_o we_o say_v wood_n be_v potential_o fire_n that_o be_v can_v be_v turn_v into_o fire_n water_n be_v potential_o air_n that_o be_v may_v be_v change_v into_o air._n moreover_o if_o spirit_n and_o body_n be_v so_o inseparable_o unite_v that_o no_o body_n can_v be_v without_o a_o spirit_n yea_o not_o without_o many_o spirit_n this_o be_v certain_o a_o great_a argument_n that_o they_o be_v of_o one_o original_a nature_n and_o substance_n otherwise_o we_o can_v not_o conceive_v why_o in_o so_o various_a and_o wonderful_a dissolution_n and_o separation_n of_o thing_n they_o shall_v not_o at_o length_n be_v separt_v one_o from_o another_o as_o we_o see_v the_o subtle_a thing_n may_v be_v separate_v from_o the_o grosser_n but_o whence_o be_v it_o that_o when_o a_o body_n be_v at_o length_n corrupt_v out_o of_o this_o corruption_n another_o species_n of_o thing_n be_v generate_v so_o out_o of_o earth_n and_o water_n corrupt_v proceed_v animal_n yea_o stone_n if_o they_o putrefy_v or_o rot_v pass_v into_o animal_n so_o dung_n or_o other_o putrefy_a matter_n generate_v animal_n all_o which_o have_v spirit_n but_o how_o do_v corruption_n or_o dissolution_n of_o body_n tend_v to_o a_o new_a generation_n and_o that_o indeed_o of_o animal_n if_o it_o be_v say_v the_o spirit_n of_o those_o animal_n be_v as_o it_o be_v loose_v from_o their_o bond_n and_o set_v at_o liberty_n by_o this_o dissolution_n and_o that_o then_o they_o can_v form_v or_o fashion_n to_o themselves_o a_o new_a body_n out_o of_o the_o aforesaid_a matter_n by_o virtue_n of_o their_o plastic_a faculty_n unto_o this_o i_o reply_v how_o do_v the_o primitive_a body_n so_o hold_v it_o captive_n be_v it_o because_o it_o be_v so_o hard_a and_o thick_a if_o so_o it_o will_v be_v manifest_a that_o those_o spirit_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o subtle_a body_n because_o hardness_n and_o density_n of_o body_n can_v imprison_v they_o that_o they_o can_v not_o pass_v out_o for_o if_o a_o spirit_n can_v as_o easy_o penetrate_v the_o hard_a body_n as_o the_o soft_a and_o most_o fluid_a it_o can_v as_o easy_o pass_v out_o of_o the_o one_o as_o the_o other_o nor_o will_v there_o be_v need_n of_o death_n and_o corruption_n to_o a_o new_a life_n or_o generation_n therefore_o this_o kind_n of_o captivity_n of_o spirit_n in_o some_o kind_n of_o hard_a body_n and_o their_o deliverance_n therefrom_o when_o the_o body_n become_v soft_a afford_v we_o a_o manifest_a argument_n that_o spirit_n and_o body_n be_v original_o of_o one_o nature_n and_o substance_n and_o that_o a_o body_n be_v nothing_o but_o a_o fix_a and_o condense_a spirit_n and_o a_o spirit_n nothing_o but_o a_o subtle_a and_o volatile_a body_n and_o here_o be_v to_o be_v note_v that_o in_o all_o hard_a body_n as_o in_o stone_n whether_o common_a or_o precious_a and_o so_o also_o in_o metal_n herb_n tree_n and_o animal_n yea_o in_o all_o humane_a body_n there_o do_v only_o exist_v many_o spirit_n which_o be_v as_o it_o be_v imprison_v in_o those_o gross_a body_n and_o unite_v with_o they_o and_o therefore_o can_v flow_v forth_o or_o fly_v out_o into_o other_o body_n until_o they_o have_v pass_v death_n or_o dissolution_n but_o also_o many_o other_o very_o subtle_a spirit_n which_o continual_o flow_v from_o they_o and_o which_o by_o reason_n of_o their_o subtlety_n the_o hardness_n of_o the_o body_n in_o which_o they_o lay_v hide_v can_v detain_v and_o these_o spirit_n be_v the_o more_o subtle_a production_n or_o the_o suture_n of_o the_o grosser_n spirit_n detain_v in_o the_o body_n for_o although_o these_o be_v detain_v therein_o yet_o

sound_n odour_n taste_n and_o divers_a other_o power_n and_o virtue_n whence_o the_o gross_a body_n and_o the_o spirit_n therein_o contain_v be_v as_o it_o be_v the_o mother_n of_o those_o subtle_a spirit_n who_o take_v the_o place_n of_o child_n for_o nature_n still_o work_v to_o a_o far_a perfection_n of_o subtlety_n and_o spirituality_n even_o as_o this_o be_v the_o most_o natural_a
