creature_n which_o have_v their_o rational_a part_n most_o unite_a be_v the_o wise_a and_o those_o that_o have_v their_o rational_a part_n most_o divide_v be_v the_o witty_a and_o those_o that_o have_v much_o of_o this_o rational_a matter_n be_v much_o know_v and_o those_o which_o have_v less_o of_o this_o rational_a matter_n be_v less_o know_v and_o there_o be_v no_o creature_n that_o have_v not_o some_o for_o like_a as_o all_o the_o part_n of_o a_o humane_a body_n be_v endue_v with_o life_n and_o soul_n so_o be_v all_o the_o part_n of_o infinite_a nature_n and_o though_o some_o part_n of_o matter_n be_v not_o animate_v in_o themselves_o yet_o there_o be_v no_o part_n that_o be_v not_o mix_v with_o the_o animate_v matter_n so_o that_o all_o part_n of_o nature_n be_v move_v and_o move_v and_o thus_o hope_v i_o have_v clear_v myself_o in_o this_o point_n to_o your_o better_a understanding_n i_o take_v my_o leave_n and_o rest_n madam_n your_o faithful_a friend_n and_o servant_n iv._o madam_n in_o the_o work_n of_o that_o most_o famous_a philosopher_n and_o mathematician_n of_o our_o age_n gal._n which_o you_o think_v worth_a my_o read_n i_o find_v he_o discourse_v much_o of_o upward_o and_o downward_o backward_o and_o forward_o but_o to_o tell_v you_o real_o i_o do_v not_o understand_v what_o he_o mean_v by_o those_o word_n for_o in_o my_o opinion_n there_o be_v proper_o no_o such_o thing_n as_o upward_o downward_o backward_o or_o forward_o in_o nature_n for_o all_o this_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o natural_a corporeal_a motion_n to_o which_o in_o respect_n of_o some_o particular_n we_o do_v attribute_v such_o or_o such_o name_n for_o if_o we_o conceive_v a_o circle_n i_o pray_v where_o be_v upward_o and_o downward_o backward_o and_o forward_o certain_o it_o be_v in_o my_o opinion_n just_a like_o that_o they_o name_v rest_v place_n space_n time_n etc._n etc._n when_o as_o nature_n herself_o know_v of_o no_o such_o thing_n but_o all_o these_o be_v only_o the_o several_a and_o various_a motion_n of_o the_o only_a matter_n you_o will_v say_v how_o can_v rest_n be_v a_o motion_n i_o answer_v rest_n be_v a_o word_n which_o express_v rather_o man_n ignorance_n then_o his_o knowledge_n for_o when_o he_o see_v that_o a_o particular_a creature_n have_v not_o any_o external_a local_a motion_n perceptible_a by_o his_o sight_n he_o say_v it_o rest_v and_o this_o rest_n he_o call_v a_o cessation_n from_o motion_n when_o as_o yet_o there_o be_v no_o such_o thing_n as_o cessation_n from_o motion_n in_o nature_n for_o motion_n be_v the_o action_n of_o natural_a matter_n and_o its_o nature_n be_v to_o move_v perpetual_o so_o that_o it_o be_v more_o probable_a for_o motion_n to_o be_v annihilate_v then_o to_o cease_v but_o you_o may_v say_v it_o be_v a_o cessation_n from_o some_o particular_a motion_n i_o answer_v you_o may_v rather_o call_v it_o a_o alteration_n of_o a_o particular_a motion_n than_o a_o cessation_n for_o though_o a_o particular_a motion_n do_v not_o move_v in_o that_o same_o manner_n as_o it_o do_v before_o nevertheless_o it_o be_v still_o there_o and_o not_o only_o there_o but_o still_o move_v only_o it_o be_v not_o move_v after_o the_o same_o manner_n as_o it_o do_v move_v heretofore_o but_o have_v change_v from_o such_o a_o kind_n of_o motion_n to_o another_o kind_n of_o motion_n and_o be_v still_o move_v it_o can_v be_v say_v to_o cease_v wherefore_o what_o be_v common_o call_v cessation_n from_o motion_n be_v only_o a_o change_n of_o some_o particular_a motion_n and_o be_v a_o mistake_n of_o change_n for_o rest_n next_o i_o find_v in_o the_o same_o author_n a_o long_a discourse_n of_o circular_a and_o strait_a motion_n to_o wit_n that_o they_o be_v simple_a motion_n and_o that_o all_o other_o be_v compose_v out_o of_o they_o and_o be_v mix_v motion_n also_o that_o the_o circular_a motion_n be_v perfect_a and_o the_o right_n imperfect_a and_o that_o all_o the_o part_n of_o the_o world_n if_o movable_a of_o their_o own_o nature_n it_o be_v impossible_a that_o their_o motion_n shall_v be_v right_o or_o any_o other_o then_o circular_a that_o a_o circular_a motion_n be_v never_o to_o be_v get_v natural_o without_o a_o precede_a right_a motion_n that_o a_o right_a motion_n can_v natural_o be_v perpetual_a that_o a_o right_a motion_n be_v impossible_a in_o the_o world_n well_o order_v and_o the_o like_a first_o i_o can_v conceive_v why_o natural_a matter_n shall_v use_v the_o circle-figure_n more_o than_o any_o other_o in_o the_o motion_n of_o her_o creature_n for_o nature_n which_o be_v infinite_a matter_n be_v not_o bind_v to_o one_o particular_a motion_n or_o to_o move_v in_o a_o circle_n more_o than_o any_o other_o figure_n but_o she_o move_v more_o various_o than_o any_o one_o part_n of_o she_o can_v conceive_v wherefore_o it_o be_v not_o requisite_a that_o the_o natural_a motion_n of_o natural_a body_n shall_v be_v only_o circular_a next_o i_o do_v not_o understand_v why_o a_o circular_a motion_n can_v be_v get_v natural_o without_o a_o precedent_n right_a motion_n for_o in_o my_o opinion_n corporeal_a motion_n may_v be_v round_o or_o circular_a without_o be_v or_o move_v straight_o before_o and_o if_o a_o straight_a line_n do_v make_v a_o circle_n than_o a_o imperfect_a figure_n make_v a_o perfect_a but_o in_o my_o opinion_n a_o circle_n may_v as_o well_o make_v a_o straight_a line_n as_o a_o strait_a line_n a_o circle_n except_o it_o be_v like_o a_o gordian_a knot_n that_o it_o can_v be_v dissolve_v or_o that_o nature_n may_v make_v some_o corporeal_a motion_n as_o constant_a as_o she_o make_v other_o inconstant_a for_o her_o motion_n be_v not_o alike_o in_o continuance_n and_o alteration_n and_o as_o for_o right_a motion_n that_o natural_o it_o can_v be_v perpetual_a my_o opinion_n be_v that_o it_o can_v be_v if_o nature_n be_v finite_a but_o if_o nature_n be_v infinite_a it_o may_v be_v but_o the_o circular_a motion_n be_v more_o proper_a for_o a_o finite_a than_o a_o infinite_a because_o a_o circle-figure_n be_v perfect_a and_o circumscribe_v and_o a_o straight_a line_n be_v infinite_a or_o at_o least_o producible_a in_o infinite_a and_o there_o may_v be_v other_o world_n in_o infinite_a nature_n beside_o these_o round_a globe_n perceptible_a by_o our_o sight_n which_o may_v have_v other_o figure_n for_o though_o it_o be_v proper_a for_o globe_n or_o spherical_a body_n to_o move_v round_o yet_o that_o do_v not_o prove_v that_o infinite_a matter_n move_v round_o or_o that_o all_o world_n must_v be_v of_o a_o globous_a figure_n for_o there_o may_v be_v as_o different_a world_n as_o other_o creature_n he_o say_v that_o a_o right_a motion_n be_v impossible_a in_o the_o world_n well_o order_v but_o i_o can_v conceive_v a_o right_a motion_n to_o be_v less_o orderly_a than_o a_o circular_a in_o nature_n except_o it_o be_v in_o some_o particular_n but_o oftentimes_o that_o which_o be_v well_o order_v in_o some_o case_n seem_v to_o some_o man_n understanding_n and_o perception_n ill_o order_v in_o other_o case_n for_o man_n as_o a_o part_n most_o common_o consider_v but_o the_o particular_n not_o the_o general_n like_v as_o every_o one_o in_o a_o commonwealth_n consider_v more_o himself_n and_o his_o family_n than_o the_o public_a last_o concern_v the_o simplicity_n of_o motion_n as_o that_o only_a circular_a and_o straight_a motion_n be_v simple_a motion_n because_o they_o be_v make_v by_o simple_a line_n i_o know_v not_o what_o they_o mean_v by_o simple_a line_n for_o the_o same_o line_n which_o make_v straight_o and_o circular_a figure_n may_v make_v as_o well_o other_o figure_n as_o those_o but_o in_o my_o opinion_n all_o motion_n may_v be_v call_v simple_a in_o regard_n of_o their_o own_o nature_n for_o they_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o the_o sensitive_a and_o rational_a part_n of_o matter_n which_o in_o its_o own_o nature_n be_v pure_a and_o simple_a and_o move_v according_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o each_o figure_n either_o swift_o or_o slow_o or_o in_o this_o or_o that_o sort_n of_o motion_n but_o the_o most_o simple_a pure_a and_o subtle_a part_n be_v the_o rational_a part_n of_o matter_n which_o though_o it_o be_v mix_v with_o the_o sensitive_a and_o inanimate_a in_o one_o body_n yet_o it_o can_v and_o do_v move_v figurative_o in_o its_o own_o matter_n without_o the_o help_n or_o assistance_n of_o any_o other_o but_o i_o desire_v you_o to_o remember_v madam_n that_o in_o the_o composition_n and_o division_n of_o the_o part_n of_o nature_n there_o be_v as_o much_o unity_n and_o agreement_n as_o there_o be_v discord_n and_o disagreement_n for_o in_o infinite_a there_o be_v no_o such_o thing_n as_o most_o and_o least_o neither_o be_v there_o any_o such_o thing_n as_o more_o perfect_a or_o less_o perfect_a in_o matter_n and_o as_o for_o irregularity_n proper_o

that_o there_o be_v one_o maximum_fw-la or_o big_a which_o be_v the_o world_n and_o what_o be_v beyond_o that_o be_v infinite_a true_o madam_n i_o must_v ingenious_o confess_v i_o be_o not_o so_o high_a learned_a as_o to_o penetrate_v into_o the_o true_a sense_n of_o these_o word_n for_o he_o say_v they_o be_v both_o divisible_a and_o indivisible_a and_o yet_o no_o atom_n which_o surpass_v my_o understanding_n for_o there_o be_v no_o such_o thing_n as_o big_a and_o small_a in_o nature_n or_o in_o the_o infinite_a matter_n for_o who_o can_v know_v how_o far_o this_o world_n go_v or_o what_o be_v beyond_o it_o there_o may_v be_v infinite_a world_n as_o i_o say_v before_o for_o aught_o we_o know_v for_o god_n and_o nature_n can_v be_v comprehend_v '_o nor_o their_o work_n measure_v if_o we_o can_v find_v out_o the_o nature_n of_o particular_a thing_n which_o be_v subject_a to_o our_o exterior_a sense_n how_o shall_v we_o be_v able_a to_o judge_n of_o thing_n not_o subject_a to_o our_o sense_n but_o your_o author_n do_v speak_v so_o presumptuous_o of_o god_n action_n design_n decree_n law_n attribute_n power_n and_o secret_a counsel_n and_o describe_v the_o manner_n how_o god_n create_v all_o thing_n and_o the_o mixture_n of_o the_o element_n to_o a_o hair_n as_o if_o he_o have_v be_v god_n counsellor_n and_o assistant_n in_o the_o work_n of_o creation_n which_o whether_o it_o be_v not_o more_o impiety_n then_o to_o say_v matter_n be_v infinite_a i_o will_v let_v other_o judge_v neither_o do_v i_o think_v this_o expression_n to_o be_v against_o the_o holy_a

to_o reason_n yet_o i_o think_v there_o be_v not_o any_o passage_n which_o plain_o deny_v matter_n to_o be_v infinite_a and_o eternal_a unless_o it_o be_v draw_v by_o force_n to_o that_o sense_n solomon_n say_v that_o there_o be_v not_o any_o thing_n new_a and_o in_o another_o place_n it_o be_v say_v that_o god_n be_v all_o fulfil_n that_o be_v the_o will_n of_o god_n be_v the_o fulfil_n of_o the_o action_n of_o nature_n also_o the_o scripture_n say_v that_o god_n way_n be_v unsearchable_a and_o past_o find_v out_o wherefore_o it_o be_v easy_a to_o treat_v of_o nature_n than_o the_o god_n of_o nature_n neither_o shall_v god_n be_v treat_v of_o by_o vain_a philosopher_n but_o by_o holy_a divine_n which_o be_v to_o deliver_v and_o interpret_v the_o word_n of_o god_n without_o sophistry_n and_o to_o inform_v we_o as_o much_o of_o god_n work_n as_o he_o have_v be_v please_v to_o declare_v and_o make_v know_v and_o this_o be_v the_o safe_a way_n in_o the_o opinion_n of_o madam_n your_o faithful_a friend_n and_o servant_n xi_o madam_n your_o new_a author_n endeavour_v to_o prove_v that_o water_n in_o its_o own_o proper_a nature_n be_v thick_a than_o earth_n which_o to_o my_o sense_n and_o reason_n seem_v not_o probable_a for_o although_o water_n be_v less_o porous_a than_o earth_n in_o its_o exterior_a figure_n yet_o it_o be_v not_o so_o thick_a as_o earth_n in_o its_o interior_a nature_n neither_o can_v i_o conceive_v it_o to_o be_v true_a that_o water_n in_o its_o own_o nature_n and_o as_o long_o as_o it_o remain_v water_n shall_v be_v as_o hard_o as_o crystal_n or_o stone_n as_o his_o opinion_n be_v for_o though_o element_n be_v so_o pliant_a be_v not_o compose_v of_o many_o different_a part_n and_o figure_n as_o they_o can_v change_v and_o rechange_v their_o exterior_a figure_n yet_o they_o do_v not_o alter_v their_o interior_a nature_n without_o a_o total_a dissolution_n but_o your_o author_n may_v as_o well_o say_v that_o the_o interior_a nature_n of_o man_n be_v dust_n and_o ash_n as_o that_o water_n in_o its_o interior_a nature_n be_v as_o thick_a as_o earth_n and_o as_o hard_o as_o crystal_n or_o stone_n whereas_o yet_o a_o man_n when_o he_o become_v dust_n and_o ash_n be_v not_o a_o man_n and_o therefore_o when_o water_n be_v become_v so_o thick_a as_o earth_n or_o so_o hard_a as_o stone_n it_o be_v not_o water_n i_o mean_v when_o it_o be_v so_o in_o its_o interior_a nature_n not_o in_o its_o exterior_a figure_n for_o the_o exterior_a figure_n may_v be_v contract_v when_o yet_o the_o interior_a nature_n be_v dilative_a and_o so_o the_o exterior_a may_v be_v thick_a or_o hard_o when_o the_o interior_a be_v soft_a and_o rare_a but_o you_o may_v say_v that_o water_n be_v a_o close_a and_o heavy_a as_o also_o a_o smooth_a and_o glossy_a body_n i_o answer_v that_o do_v not_o prove_v its_o interior_a nature_n to_o be_v hard_a dense_a thick_a or_o contract_v for_o the_o interior_a nature_n and_o part_n of_o a_o body_n may_v be_v different_a from_o the_o exterior_a figure_n or_o part_n neither_o do_v the_o close_a join_v of_o part_n hinder_v dilatation_n for_o if_o so_o a_o line_n or_o circle_n can_v not_o dilate_v or_o extend_v but_o this_o close_a unite_n of_o the_o part_n of_o water_n be_v cause_v through_o its_o wet_a and_o glutinous_a quality_n which_o wet_a and_o stick_a quality_n be_v cause_v by_o a_o watery_a dilatation_n for_o though_o water_n have_v not_o interious_o so_o rare_a a_o dilatation_n as_o air_n fire_n and_o light_n yet_o it_o have_v not_o so_o close_a a_o contraction_n as_o earth_n stone_n or_o metal_n neither_o be_v all_o body_n that_o be_v smooth_a and_o shine_a more_o solid_a and_o dense_a than_o those_o that_o be_v rough_a and_o dark_a for_o light_n be_v more_o smooth_a glossy_a and_o shine_v than_o water_n metal_n earth_n or_o transparent-stone_n and_o yet_o be_v of_o a_o dilative_a nature_n but_o because_o some_o body_n and_o figure_n which_o be_v transparent_a and_o smooth_a be_v dense_a hard_a and_o thick_a we_o can_v in_o reason_n or_o sense_n say_v that_o all_o body_n and_o figure_n be_v so_o as_o for_o transparency_n it_o be_v cause_v through_o a_o purity_n of_o substance_n and_o a_o evenness_n of_o part_n the_o like_a be_v glossiness_n only_a glossiness_n require_v not_o so_o much_o regularity_n as_o transparency_n but_o to_o return_v to_o water_n its_o exterior_a circle-figure_n may_v easy_o dilate_v beyond_o the_o degree_n of_o the_o propriety_n or_o nature_n of_o water_n or_o contract_n beneath_o the_o propriety_n or_o nature_n of_o water_n your_o author_n may_v say_v water_n be_v a_o globous_a body_n and_o all_o globous_a body_n tend_v to_o a_o centre_n i_o answer_v that_o my_o sense_n and_o reason_n can_v perceive_v but_o that_o circle_n and_o globe_n do_v as_o easy_o dilate_v as_o contract_v for_o if_o all_o globe_n and_o circle_n shall_v endeavour_v to_o draw_v or_o fall_v from_o the_o circumference_n to_o the_o centre_n the_o centre_n of_o the_o whole_a world_n or_o at_o least_o of_o some_o part_n of_o the_o world_n will_v be_v as_o a_o chaos_n beside_o it_o be_v against_o sense_n and_o reason_n that_o all_o matter_n shall_v strive_v to_o a_o centre_n for_o humane_a sense_n and_o reason_n may_v observe_v that_o all_o creature_n and_o so_o matter_n desire_v liberty_n and_o a_o centre_n be_v but_o a_o prison_n in_o comparison_n to_o the_o circumference_n wherefore_o if_o matter_n crowd_n it_o be_v rather_o by_o force_n than_o a_o voluntary_a action_n you_o will_v say_v all_o creature_n desire_v rest_n and_o in_o a_o centre_n there_o be_v rest_n i_o answer_v humane_a sense_n and_o reason_n can_v perccive_v any_o rest_n in_o nature_n for_o all_o thing_n as_o i_o have_v prove_v heretofore_o be_v in_o a_o perpetual_a motion_n but_o concern_v water_n you_o may_v ask_v i_o madam_n whether_o congeal_a water_n as_o ice_n if_o it_o never_o thaw_v remains_z water_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o the_o interior_a nature_n of_o water_n remain_v as_o long_o as_o the_o ice_n remain_v although_o the_o outward_a form_n be_v change_v but_o if_o ice_n be_v contract_v into_o the_o firmness_n and_o density_n of_o crystal_n or_o diamond_n or_o the_o like_a so_o as_o to_o be_v beyond_o the_o nature_n of_o water_n and_o not_o capable_a to_o be_v that_o water_n again_o than_o it_o be_v transform_v into_o another_o creature_n or_o thing_n which_o be_v neither_o water_n nor_o ice_n but_o a_o stone_n for_o the_o icy_a contraction_n do_v no_o more_o alter_v the_o interior_a nature_n of_o water_n which_o be_v dilate_v than_o the_o bind_n of_o a_o man_n with_o chain_n alter_v his_o nature_n from_o be_v a_o man_n and_o it_o may_v be_v say_v as_o well_o that_o the_o nature_n of_o air_n be_v not_o dilate_v when_o enclose_v in_o a_o bladder_n as_o that_o water_n do_v not_o remain_v water_n in_o its_o interior_a nature_n when_o it_o be_v contract_v into_o ice_n but_o you_o may_v ask_v whether_o

say_v the_o supernatural_a soul_n be_v without_o natural_a reason_n but_o natural_a reason_n be_v not_o the_o divine_a soul_n neither_o can_v natural_a reason_n without_o faith_n advance_v the_o divine_a soul_n to_o heaven_n or_o beget_v a_o pious_a zeal_n without_o divine_a and_o supernatural_a grace_n wherefore_o reason_n or_o the_o rational_a soul_n be_v only_o the_o soul_n of_o nature_n which_o be_v material_a be_v dividable_a and_o so_o become_v numerous_a in_o particular_a natural_a creature_n like_v as_o the_o sensitive_a life_n be_v also_o material_a and_o dividable_a become_v numerous_a as_o be_v in_o every_o creature_n and_o in_o every_o part_n of_o every_o creature_n for_o as_o there_o be_v life_n in_o every_o creature_n so_o there_o be_v also_o a_o soul_n in_o every_o creature_n nay_o not_o only_o in_o every_o creature_n but_o in_o every_o particle_n of_o every_o creature_n by_o reason_n every_o creature_n be_v make_v of_o rational_a and_o sensitive_a matter_n and_o as_o all_o creature_n or_o part_n of_o nature_n be_v but_o one_o infinite_a body_n of_o nature_n so_o all_o their_o particular_a soul_n and_o life_n make_v but_o one_o infinite_a soul_n and_o life_n of_o nature_n and_o this_o natural_a soul_n have_v only_o natural_a action_n not_o supernatural_a nor_o have_v the_o supernatural_a soul_n natural_a action_n for_o although_o they_o subsist_v both_o together_o in_o one_o body_n yet_o each_o work_n without_o disturbance_n to_o the_o other_o and_o both_o be_v immortal_a for_o of_o the_o supernatural_a soul_n there_o be_v no_o question_n and_o of_o the_o natural_a soul_n i_o have_v say_v before_o that_o nothing_o be_v perishable_a or_o subject_a to_o annihilation_n in_o nature_n and_o so_o no_o death_n but_o what_o be_v call_v by_o the_o name_n of_o death_n be_v only_o a_o alteration_n of_o the_o corporeal_a natural_a motion_n of_o such_o a_o figure_n to_o another_o figure_n and_o therefore_o as_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o one_o part_n of_o matter_n shall_v perish_v in_o nature_n so_o be_v it_o impossible_a that_o the_o natural_a or_o rational_a soul_n can_v perish_v be_v material_a the_o natural_a humane_a soul_n may_v alter_v so_o as_o not_o to_o move_v in_o a_o animal_n way_n or_o not_o to_o have_v animal_n motion_n but_o this_o do_v not_o prove_v her_o destruction_n or_o annihilation_n but_o only_o a_o change_n of_o the_o animal_n figure_n and_o its_o motion_n all_o remain_v still_o in_o nature_n thus_o my_o faith_n of_o the_o divine_a and_o my_o opinion_n of_o the_o natural_a soul_n be_v that_o they_o be_v both_o immortal_a as_o for_o the_o immediate_a action_n of_o the_o divine_a soul_n i_o leave_v you_o to_o the_o church_n which_o be_v the_o minister_n of_o god_n and_o the_o faithful_a dispenser_n

leave_v the_o controversy_n of_o freewill_n and_o necessity_n 3._o which_o your_o author_n be_v discourse_v of_o to_o divine_n to_o decide_v it_o only_o i_o say_v this_o that_o nature_n have_v a_o natural_a freewill_n and_o power_n of_o self-moving_a and_o be_v not_o necessitate_v but_o yet_o that_o this_o freewill_n proceed_v from_o god_n who_o have_v give_v she_o both_o will_n and_o power_n to_o act_v free_o but_o as_o for_o the_o question_n whether_o there_o be_v nothing_o 2._o in_o the_o universe_n but_o mere_a body_n i_o answer_v my_o opinion_n be_v not_o that_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o the_o world_n but_o mere_a body_n but_o that_o nature_n be_v pure_o material_a or_o corporeal_a and_o that_o there_o be_v no_o part_n of_o nature_n or_o natural_a creature_n which_o be_v not_o matter_n or_o body_n or_o make_v of_o matter_n also_o that_o there_o be_v not_o any_o thing_n else_o mix_v with_o body_n as_o a_o copartner_n in_o natural_a action_n which_o be_v distinct_a from_o body_n or_o matter_n nevertheless_o there_o may_v be_v supernatural_a spiritual_a being_n or_o substance_n in_o nature_n without_o any_o hindrance_n to_o matter_n or_o corporeal_a nature_n the_o same_o i_o may_v say_v of_o the_o natural_a material_a and_o the_o divine_a and_o supernatural_a soul_n for_o though_o the_o divine_a soul_n be_v in_o a_o natural_a body_n and_o both_o their_o power_n and_o action_n be_v different_a yet_o they_o cause_v no_o ruin_n or_o disturbance_n to_o each_o other_o but_o do_v in_o many_o case_n agree_v with_o each_o other_o without_o encroachment_n upon_o each_o other_o power_n or_o action_n for_o god_n as_o he_o be_v the_o god_n of_o all_o thing_n so_o the_o god_n of_o order_n wherefore_o it_o be_v not_o probable_a that_o create_v immaterial_a or_o incorporeal_a being_n shall_v order_v corporeal_a nature_n no_o more_o then_o corporeal_a nature_n order_v immaterial_a or_o incorporeal_a creature_n neither_o can_v in_o my_o opinion_n incorporeal_a creature_n be_v clear_o conceive_v by_o corporeal_n although_o they_o may_v real_o exist_v and_o subsist_v in_o nature_n only_o as_o i_o say_v before_o it_o be_v well_o to_o be_v consider_v that_o there_o be_v difference_n betwixt_o be_v in_o nature_n and_o be_v a_o part_n of_o nature_n for_o bodiless_a thing_n and_o so_o spiritual_a substance_n although_o they_o may_v exist_v in_o nature_n yet_o they_o be_v not_o natural_a nor_o part_n of_o nature_n but_o supernatural_a nature_n be_v mere_o corporeal_a and_o matter_n the_o ground_n of_o nature_n and_o all_o that_o be_v not_o build_v upon_o this_o material_a ground_n be_v nothing_o in_o nature_n but_o you_o will_v say_v the_o divine_a soul_n be_v a_o part_n of_o man_n and_o man_n a_o part_n of_o nature_n wherefore_o the_o divine_a soul_n must_v needs_o be_v a_o part_n of_o nature_n i_o answer_v not_o for_o the_o divine_a soul_n be_v not_o a_o part_n of_o nature_n but_o supernatural_a as_o a_o supernatural_a gift_n from_o god_n only_o to_o man_n and_o to_o no_o other_o creature_n and_o although_o in_o this_o respect_n it_o may_v be_v call_v a_o part_n of_o man_n yet_o it_o be_v no_o natural_a or_o material_a part_n of_o man_n neither_o do_v this_o supernatural_a gift_n disturb_v nature_n or_o natural_a matter_n or_o natural_a matter_n this_o supernatural_a gist_n and_o so_o leave_v they_o both_o i_o rest_v madam_n your_o faithful_a friend_n and_o servant_n xxxii_o madam_n if_o you_o desire_v my_o opinion_n concern_v witch_n whereof_o your_o learned_a author_n have_v many_o discourse_n and_o story_n i_o will_v
