A34554	A discourse written to a learned frier by M. Des Fourneillis, shewing that this systeme of M. Des Cartes, and particularly his opinion concerning brutes, does contain nothing dangerous, and that all he hath written of both seems to have been taken out of the first chapter of Genesis ; to which is annexed the Systeme general of the same Cartesian philosophy, by Francis Bayle ... ; Englished out of French.; Copie d'une lettre écrite à un sçavant religieux de la Compagnie de Jesus.

from_o luminous_a body_n be_v in_o such_o a_o manner_n on_o the_o part_n of_o our_o soul_n and_o have_v such_o a_o necessary_a respect_n to_o the_o motion_n of_o certain_a part_n of_o our_o brain_n that_o very_o often_o without_o the_o excitation_n of_o the_o nerve_n of_o our_o eye_n by_o any_o luminous_a body_n we_o have_v the_o sense_n of_o light_n thus_o in_o dream_n the_o fortuitous_a

according_a to_o the_o sentiment_n of_o m._n des_n cartes_n we_o shall_v need_v only_o to_o relate_v what_o he_o teach_v of_o the_o water_n and_o of_o the_o firmament_n those_o who_o have_v read_v

not_o yet_o well_o order_v when_o the_o light_n begin_v nor_o their_o motion_n very_o free_a do_v mark_v the_o time_n of_o the_o formation_n of_o the_o firmament_n then_o only_o when_o they_o be_v so_o well_o adjust_v that_o the_o ecliptic_a of_o the_o one_o answer_v to_o the_o pole_n of_o the_o other_o they_o begin_v to_o move_v among_o themselves_o with_o a_o motion_n altogether_o free_a and_o so_o proportion_v that_o not_o any_o one_o receive_v a_o let_v from_o all_o those_o which_o encompass_v it_o it_o be_v at_o this_o instant_n that_o according_a to_o des_n cartes_n hypothesis_n the_o mass_n which_o be_v in_o the_o same_o vortex_n where_o the_o earth_n be_v begin_v to_o be_v separate_v from_o it_o by_o the_o matter_n of_o that_o vortex_n which_o insinuate_v itself_o betwixt_o they_o and_o which_o keep_v they_o more_o or_o less_o distant_a from_o the_o centre_n

according_a to_o the_o difference_n of_o their_o grossness_n or_o solidity_n now_o as_o we_o have_v note_v that_o they_o be_v all_o cover_v with_o their_o water_n and_o that_o the_o matter_n of_o

as_o well_o as_o that_o of_o genesis_n that_o the_o water_n be_v sever_v from_o the_o water_n by_o the_o formation_n of_o the_o firmament_n thus_o m._n des_n cartes_n who_o seem_v always_o to_o

do_v not_o explain_v this_o more_o at_o large_a nor_o do_v i_o examine_v how_o well_o these_o different_a conservatory_n of_o water_n which_o m._n des_n cartes_n place_v in_o several_a part_n of_o

reflection_n upon_o the_o change_n which_o have_v happen_v to_o the_o earth_n by_o this_o super-abundance_n of_o water_n this_o be_v perhaps_o the_o cause_n of_o the_o cloud_n rains_n and_o the_o first_o apparition_n of_o that_o admirable_a phaenomenon_n which_o the_o lord_n make_v use_v of_o to_o secure_a noah_n against_o the_o apprehension_n of_o a_o new_a deluge_n when_o he_o promise_v he_o to_o shut_v up_o for_o ever_o those_o cataract_n which_o he_o have_v open_v for_o his_o vengeance_n but_o this_o will_v carry_v we_o too_o far_o the_o three_o day_n the_o three_o day_n moses_n

you_o in_o this_o place_n to_o observe_v that_o moses_n say_v not_o that_o god_n make_v any_o soul_n for_o plant_n he_o only_o say_v that_o the_o earth_n render_v fertile_a by_o the_o word_n of_o
