very_a consonant_n to_o the_o command_n of_o reason_n and_o custom_n that_o we_o shall_v call_v by_o different_a name_n those_o substance_n which_o we_o perceive_v be_v the_o subject_n of_o very_a

some_o act_n which_o we_o call_v corporeal_a as_o magnitude_n figure_n motion_n and_o what_o ever_o else_o can_v be_v think_v on_o without_o local_a extension_n and_o the_o substance_n wherein_o

corporeal_a substance_n because_o cogitative_a act_n no_o have_v affinity_n with_o corporeal_a act_n and_o thought_n which_o be_v the_o common_a ratio_fw-la of_o those_o be_v whole_o diffrrent_n

between_o imagination_n that_o be_v have_v a_o idea_n of_o a_o thing_n and_o the_o conception_n of_o the_o mind_n that_o be_v a_o conclude_v from_o reason_v that_o a_o thing_n be_v or_o exist_v but_o

name_n or_o appellation_n by_o this_o word_n be_v from_o whence_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o we_o collect_v by_o reason_v nothing_o of_o or_o concern_v the_o nature_n of_o thing_n but_o of_o the_o

make_v concern_v their_o signification_n if_o it_o be_v so_o as_o so_o it_o may_v be_v ratiocination_n will_v depend_v on_o word_n word_n on_o imagination_n and_o perhaps_o imagination_n as_o also_o sense_n on_o the_o motion_n of_o corporeal_a part_n and_o so_o the_o mind_n shall_v be_v nothing_o but_o motion_n in_o some_o part_n of_o a_o organical_a body_n answer_n i_o have_v here_o explain_v the_o difference_n between_o imagination_n and_o the_o mere_a conception_n of_o the_o mind_n by_o reckon_v up_o in_o my_o example_n of_o the_o wax_n what_o it_o be_v therein_o which_o we_o imagine_v and_o what_o it_o be_v that_o we_o conceive_v in_o our_o mind_n only_o but_o beside_o this_o i_o have_v explain_v in_o a_o other_o place_n how_o we_o understand_v one_o way_n and_o imagine_v a_o
