effect_n and_o as_o for_o water_n if_o he_o do_v make_v it_o a_o principle_n of_o natural_a thing_n i_o see_v no_o reason_n why_o he_o exclude_v the_o rest_n of_o the_o element_n but_o in_o my_o

my_o sense_n and_o reason_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o natural_a effect_n of_o natural_a matter_n concern_v his_o opinion_n that_o cause_n and_o beginning_n be_v all_o one_o or_o that_o there_o be_v but_o little_a difference_n betwixt_o they_o i_o do_v ready_o subscribe_v unto_o it_o but_o when_o he_o speak_v of_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v produce_v without_o life_n my_o reason_n can_v find_v out_o what_o or_o where_o they_o shall_v be_v for_o certain_o in_o nature_n they_o be_v not_o nature_n be_v life_n and_o soul_n herself_o and_o all_o her_o part_n be_v enliven_v and_o soulify_v so_o that_o there_o can_v be_v no_o generation_n or_o natural_a production_n without_o life_n neither_o be_v my_o sense_n and_o reason_n capable_a to_o understand_v his_o meaning_n when_o he_o say_v that_o the_o seed_n of_o thing_n and_o the_o spirit_n as_o the_o dispenser_n thereof_o be_v divide_v from_o the_o material_a cause_n for_o i_o do_v see_v no_o difference_n betwixt_o the_o seed_n and_o

to_o say_v heretofore_o that_o there_o be_v but_o two_o beginning_n or_o cause_n of_o natural_a thing_n and_o now_o he_o make_v so_o many_o more_o for_o say_v he_o of_o efficient_a and_o seminal_a cause_n some_o be_v efficient_o effect_v and_o other_o effective_o effect_v which_o nice_a distinction_n in_o my_o opinion_n do_v but_o make_v a_o confusion_n in_o natural_a knowledge_n set_v a_o

god_n exceed_v all_o purity_n it_o be_v true_a but_o if_o there_o be_v infinite_a degree_n of_o purity_n in_o matter_n matter_n may_v at_o last_o become_v immaterial_a and_o so_o from_o a_o infinite_a material_a turn_n to_o a_o infinite_a immaterial_a and_o from_o natrue_a to_o be_v god_n a_o great_a but_o a_o impossible_a change_n for_o i_o do_v very_o believe_v that_o there_o can_v be_v but_o

unless_o god_n do_v create_v a_o new_a nature_n for_o the_o change_n of_o matter_n into_o several_a particular_a figure_n do_v not_o prove_v a_o annihilation_n of_o particular_a figure_n nor_o the_o

the_o variation_n of_o figure_n and_o motion_n of_o matter_n cause_n a_o alteration_n in_o the_o nature_n of_o only_a matter_n wherefore_o there_o can_v be_v new_a life_n soul_n or_o body_n in_o

there_o have_v be_v and_o be_v still_o strange_a and_o erroneous_a opinion_n and_o great_a difference_n among_o natural_a philosopher_n concern_v the_o principle_n of_o natural_a thing_n some_o will_v

nature_n be_v altogether_o material_a but_o this_o opinion_n proceed_v from_o the_o separation_n or_o abstraction_n of_o motion_n form_n matter_n viz._n that_o man_n think_v matter_n and_o motion_n to_o be_v dividable_a from_o each_o other_o and_o believe_v motion_n to_o be_v a_o thing_n by_o its_o self_n name_v it_o a_o imaterial_a thing_n which_o have_v a_o be_v but_o not_o a_o bodily_a substance_n but_o various_a and_o different_a effect_n do_v not_o prove_v a_o different_a matter_n or_o cause_n neither_o do_v they_o prove_v a_o unsettle_a cause_n only_o the_o variety_n of_o effect_n have_v obscure_v the_o cause_n from_o the_o several_a part_n which_o make_v particular_a creature_n partly_o ignorant_a and_o partly_o know_v but_o in_o my_o opinion_n nature_n be_v material_a and_o not_o any_o thing_n in_o nature_n what_o belong_v to_o she_o be_v immaterial_a but_o whatsoever_o be_v immaterial_a be_v supernatural_a therefore_o motion_n form_n thought_n idea_n

all_o his_o work_n he_o have_v write_v be_v for_o the_o benefit_n of_o his_o neighbour_n and_o to_o detect_v the_o error_n of_o the_o school_n mere_o for_o the_o good_a of_o man_n do_v yet_o plead_v his_o cause_n say_v that_o secret_n as_o they_o be_v most_o difficult_o prepare_v so_o they_o ought_v to_o remain_v in_o secret_a forever_o in_o the_o possession_n of_o the_o privy_a council_n what_o

that_o many_o who_o pretend_v to_o know_v physical_a secret_n most_o common_o know_v the_o least_o as_o be_v for_o the_o most_o part_n of_o the_o rank_n of_o they_o that_o deceive_v the_o simple_a

their_o own_o i_o say_v many_z madam_n as_o i_o have_v observe_v be_v of_o that_o nature_n especial_o those_o that_o have_v but_o a_o superficial_a knowledge_n in_o the_o art_n of_o physic_n for_o

rest_v madam_n your_o ladyship_n humble_a servant_n xliii_o madam_n your_o author_n be_v please_v to_o relate_v a_o story_n of_o one_o that_o die_v sudden_o and_o be_v disfect_v there_o be_v not_o the_o least_o sign_n of_o decay_n or_o disorder_v find_v in_o his_o body_n preface_n but_o i_o can_v add_v to_o those_o that_o wonder_v when_o no_o sign_n of_o distemper_n be_v find_v in_o a_o man_n body_n after_o he_o be_v dead_a because_o i_o do_v not_o believe_v that_o the_o subtle_a learn_a and_o most_o practise_a anatomist_n can_v exact_o tell_v all_o the_o interior_n government_n or_o motion_n or_o can_v find_v out_o all_o obscure_a and_o invisible_a passage_n in_o a_o man_n body_n for_o concern_v the_o motion_n they_o be_v all_o alter_v in_o death_n or_o rather_o in_o the_o dissolution_n of_o the_o animal_n figure_n and_o although_o the_o exterior_a animal_n figure_n or_o shape_n do_v not_o alter_v so_o soon_o yet_o the_o animal_n motion_n may_v alter_v in_o a_o moment_n of_o time_n which_o sudden_a alteration_n may_v cause_v a_o sudden_a death_n and_o so_o the_o motion_n be_v invisible_a the_o cause_n of_o death_n can_v be_v perceive_v for_o no_o body_n can_v find_v that_o which_o be_v not_o to_o be_v find_v to_o wit_n animal_n motion_n in_o a_o dead_a man_n for_o nature_n have_v alter_v these_o motion_n from_o be_v animal_n motion_n to_o some_o other_o kind_n of_o motion_n she_o be_v as_o various_a in_o dissolution_n as_o in_o production_n indeed_o so_o various_a that_o her_o way_n can_v be_v trace_v or_o know_v thorough_o and_o perfecty_a but_o only_o by_o piece-meal_n as_o the_o say_n be_v that_o be_v but_o partly_o wherefore_o man_n can_v only_o know_v that_o which_o be_v visible_a or_o subject_n to_o his_o sense_n and_o yet_o our_o sense_n do_v not_o always_o inform_v we_o true_o but_o the_o alteration_n of_o grosser_n part_n be_v more_o easy_o know_v than_o the_o alteration_n of_o subtle_a corporeal_a motion_n either_o in_o general_n or_o in_o particular_a neither_o be_v the_o invisible_a passage_n to_o be_v know_v in_o a_o dead_a carcase_n much_o less_o in_o a_o live_a body_n but_o i_o pray_v mistake_v i_o not_o when_o i_o say_v that_o the_o animal_n motion_n be_v not_o subject_a to_o our_o exterior_a sense_n for_o i_o do_v not_o mean_v all_o exterior_a animal_n motion_n nor_o all_o interior_a animal_n motion_n for_o though_o you_o do_v see_v no_o interior_a motion_n in_o a_o animal_n body_n yet_o you_o may_v feel_v some_o as_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o heart_n the_o motion_n of_o the_o pulse_n the_o motion_n of_o the_o lung_n and_o the_o like_a but_o the_o most_o part_n of_o the_o interior_a animal_n motion_n be_v not_o subject_a to_o our_o exterior_a sense_n nay_o no_o man_n he_o may_v be_v as_o observe_v as_o he_o will_v can_v possible_o know_v by_o his_o exterior_a sense_n all_o the_o several_a and_o various_a interior_a motion_n in_o his_o own_o body_n nor_o all_o the_o exterior_a motion_n of_o his_o exterior_a part_n and_o thus_o it_o remain_v still_o that_o neither_o the_o subtle_a motion_n and_o part_n of_o matter_n nor_o the_o obscure_a passage_n in_o several_a creature_n can_v be_v know_v but_o by_o several_a part_n for_o what_o one_o part_n be_v ignorant_a of_o another_o part_n be_v know_v and_o what_o one_o part_n be_v know_v another_o part_n be_v ignorant_a thereof_o so_o that_o unless_o all_o the_o part_n of_o infinite_a matter_n be_v join_v into_o one_o creature_n there_o can_v never_o be_v in_o one_o particular_a creature_n a_o perfect_a knowledge_n of_o all_o thing_n in_o nature_n wherefore_o i_o shall_v never_o aspire_v to_o any_o such_o knowledge_n but_o be_v content_a with_o that_o little_a particular_a knowledge_n nature_n have_v be_v please_v to_o give_v i_o the_o chief_a of_o which_o be_v that_o i_o know_v myself_o and_o especial_o that_o i_o be_o madam_n your_o constant_a friend_n and_o faithful_a servant_n xliv_o madam_n i_o perceive_v you_o be_v desirous_a to_o know_v the_o cause_n why_o a_o man_n be_v more_o weak_a at_o the_o latter_a end_n of_o a_o disease_n then_o at_o the_o beginning_n and_o be_v a_o long_a time_n recover_v health_n then_o lose_v health_n as_o also_o the_o reason_n of_o relapse_n and_o intermission_n first_o as_o for_o weakness_n and_o strength_n my_o opinion_n be_v they_o be_v cause_v by_o the_o regular_a and_o irregular_a motion_n in_o several_a part_n each_o strive_v to_o overpower_v the_o other_o in_o their_o conflict_n and_o when_o a_o man_n recover_v from_o a_o disease_n although_o the_o regular_a motion_n have_v
