the_o world_n which_o she_o come_v from_o and_o the_o world_n where_o the_o duchess_n live_v the_o spirit_n answer_v that_o there_o be_v more_o numerous_a world_n than_o the_o star_n which_o appear_v in_o these_o three_o mention_a world_n then_o the_o empress_n ask_v whether_o it_o be_v not_o possible_a that_o her_o dear_a friend_n the_o duchess_n of_o newcastle_n may_v be_v empress_n of_o one_o of_o they_o although_o there_o be_v numerous_a nay_o infinite_a world_n answer_v the_o spirit_n yet_o none_o be_v without_o government_n but_o be_v none_o of_o these_o world_n so_o weak_a say_v she_o that_o it_o may_v be_v surprise_v or_o conquer_v the_o spirit_n answer_v that_o lucian_n world_n of_o light_n have_v be_v for_o some_o time_n in_o a_o snuff_n but_o of_o late_a year_n one_o helmont_n have_v get_v it_o who_o since_o he_o be_v emperor_n of_o it_o have_v so_o strengthen_v the_o immortal_a part_n thereof_o with_o mortal_a outwork_n as_o it_o be_v for_o the_o present_a impregnable_a say_a the_o empress_n if_o there_o be_v such_o a_o infinite_a number_n of_o world_n i_o be_o sure_a not_o only_o my_o friend_n the_o duchess_n but_o any_o other_o may_v obtain_v one_o yes_o answer_v the_o spirit_n if_o those_o world_n be_v uninhabited_a but_o they_o be_v as_o populous_a as_o this_o your_o majesty_n govern_v why_o say_v the_o empress_n it_o be_v not_o impossible_a to_o conquer_v a_o world_n no_o answer_v the_o spirit_n but_z for_o the_o most_o part_n conqueror_n seldom_o enjoy_v their_o conquest_n for_o they_o be_v more_o fear_v then_o love_v most_o common_o come_v to_o a_o untimely_a end_n if_o you_o will_v but_o direct_v i_o say_v the_o duchess_n to_o the_o spirit_n which_o world_n be_v easy_a to_o be_v conquer_v her_o majesty_n will_v assist_v i_o with_o mean_n and_o i_o will_v trust_v to_o fate_n and_o fortune_n for_o i_o have_v rather_o die_v in_o the_o adventure_n of_o noble_a achievement_n then_o live_v in_o obscure_a and_o sluggish_a security_n since_o by_o the_o one_o i_o may_v live_v in_o a_o glorious_a fame_n and_o by_o the_o other_o i_o be_o bury_v in_o oblivion_n the_o spirit_n answer_v that_o the_o life_n of_o fame_n be_v like_o other_o life_n for_o some_o last_v long_o and_o some_o die_v soon_o it_o be_v true_a say_v the_o duchess_n but_o yet_o the_o shortest-lived_n fame_n last_v long_a than_o the_o long_a life_n of_o man._n but_o reply_v the_o spirit_n if_o occasion_n do_v not_o serve_v you_o you_o must_v content_v yourself_o to_o live_v without_o such_o achievement_n that_o may_v gain_v you_o a_o fame_n but_o we_o wonder_v proceed_v the_o spirit_n that_o you_o desire_v to_o be_v empress_n of_o a_o terrestrial_a world_n when_o as_o you_o can_v create_v yourself_o a_o celestial_a world_n if_o you_o please_v what_o say_v the_o empress_n can_v any_o mortal_a be_v a_o creator_n yes_o answer_v the_o spirit_n for_o every_o humane_a creature_n can_v create_v a_o immaterial_a world_n full_o inhabit_v by_o immaterial_a creature_n and_o populous_a of_o immaterial_a subject_n such_o as_o we_o be_v and_o all_o this_o within_o the_o compass_n of_o the_o head_n or_o scull_n nay_o not_o only_o so_o but_o he_o may_v create_v a_o

whirlpool_n light_n pressure_n and_o reaction_n etc._n etc._n as_o he_o think_v best_o nay_o he_o may_v make_v a_o world_n full_a of_o vein_n muscle_n and_o nerve_n and_o all_o these_o to_o move_v by_o one_o jolt_n or_o stroke_n also_o he_o may_v alter_v that_o world_n as_o often_o as_o he_o please_v or_o change_v it_o from_o a_o natural_a world_n to_o a_o artificial_a he_o may_v make_v a_o world_n of_o idea_n a_o world_n of_o atom_n a_o world_n of_o light_n or_o whatsoever_o his_o fancy_n lead_v he_o to_o and_o since_o it_o be_v in_o your_o power_n to_o create_v such_o a_o world_n what_o need_v you_o to_o venture_v life_n reputation_n and_o tranquillity_n to_o conquer_v a_o gross_a material_a world_n for_o you_o can_v enjoy_v no_o more_o of_o a_o material_a world_n than_o a_o particular_a creature_n be_v able_a to_o enjoy_v which_o be_v but_o a_o small_a part_n consider_v the_o compass_n of_o such_o a_o world_n and_o you_o may_v plain_o observe_v it_o by_o your_o friend_n the_o empress_n here_o which_o although_o she_o possess_v a_o whole_a world_n yet_o enjoy_v she_o but_o a_o part_n thereof_o neither_o be_v she_o so_o much_o acquaint_v with_o it_o that_o she_o know_v all_o the_o place_n country_n and_o dominion_n she_o govern_v the_o truth_n be_v a_o sovereign_a monarch_n have_v the_o general_a trouble_n but_o the_o subject_n enjoy_v all_o the_o delight_n and_o

particle_n she_o endeavour_v to_o create_v a_o world_n according_a to_o aristotle_n opinion_n but_o remember_v that_o her_o mind_n as_o most_o of_o the_o learned_a hold_v it_o be_v immaterial_a and_o that_o according_a to_o aristotle_n principle_n out_o of_o nothing_o nothing_o can_v be_v make_v she_o be_v force_v also_o to_o desist_v from_o that_o work_n and_o then_o she_o full_o resolve_v not_o to_o take_v any_o more_o pattern_n from_o the_o ancient_a philosopher_n but_o to_o follow_v the_o opinion_n of_o the_o modern_n and_o to_o that_o end_n she_o endeavour_v to_o make_v a_o world_n according_a to_o des_n cartes_n opinion_n but_o when_o she_o have_v make_v the_o aethereal_a globule_n and_o set_v they_o a_o move_n by_o a_o strong_a and_o lively_a imagination_n her_o mind_n become_v so_o dizzy_a with_o their_o extraordinary_a swift_a turn_v round_o that_o it_o almost_o put_v she_o into_o a_o swoon_n for_o her_o thought_n by_o their_o constant_a totter_a do_v so_o stagger_v as_o if_o they_o have_v all_o be_v drink_v wherefore_o she_o dissolve_v that_o world_n and_o begin_v to_o make_v another_o according_a to_o hobbs_n opinion_n but_o when_o all_o the_o part_n of_o this_o imaginary_a world_n come_v to_o press_v and_o drive_v each_o other_o they_o seem_v like_o a_o company_n of_o wolf_n that_o worry_v sheep_n or_o like_v so_o many_o dog_n that_o hunt_v after_o hare_n and_o when_o she_o find_v a_o reaction_n equal_a to_o those_o pressure_n her_o mind_n be_v so_o squeeze_a together_o that_o her_o thought_n can_v neither_o move_v forward_o nor_o

mind_n and_o free_v it_o from_o that_o pain_n which_o those_o pressure_n and_o reaction_n have_v cause_v in_o it_o at_o last_o when_o the_o duchess_n see_v that_o no_o pattern_n will_v do_v she_o any_o good_a in_o the_o frame_n of_o her_o world_n she_o be_v resolve_v to_o make_v a_o world_n of_o her_o own_o invention_n and_o this_o world_n be_v compose_v of_o sensitive_a and_o rational_a self-moving_a matter_n indeed_o it_o be_v compose_v only_o of_o the_o rational_a which_o be_v the_o subtle_a and_o pure_a degree_n of_o matter_n for_o as_o the_o sensitive_a do_v move_v and_o act_n both_o to_o the_o perception_n and_o consistency_n of_o the_o body_n so_o this_o degree_n of_o matter_n at_o the_o same_o point_n of_o time_n for_o though_o the_o degree_n be_v mix_v yet_o the_o

full_a of_o variety_n so_o well_o order_v and_o wise_o govern_v that_o it_o can_v possible_o be_v express_v by_o word_n nor_o the_o delight_n and_o pleasure_n which_o the_o duchess_n take_v in_o

in_o a_o moment_n view_v all_o the_o part_n of_o it_o and_o all_o the_o action_n of_o all_o the_o creature_n therein_o especial_o do_v the_o emperess_n soul_n take_v much_o notice_n of_o the_o

of_o a_o world_n and_o not_o only_o of_o a_o world_n but_o of_o a_o peaceable_a quiet_a and_o obedient_a world_n it_o be_v true_a reply_v the_o empress_n but_o although_o it_o be_v a_o peaceable_a

spare_v your_o censure_n especial_o do_v i_o recommend_v to_o you_o my_o philosophical_a opinion_n which_o contain_v the_o ground_n and_o principle_n of_o my_o philosophy_n but_o since_o they_o be_v

the_o late_a discourse_n of_o the_o first_o part_n of_o this_o book_n which_o treat_v of_o perception_n for_o perception_n be_v the_o chief_a and_o general_a action_n of_o nature_n have_v occasion_v i_o to_o be_v more_o prolix_a in_o explain_v it_o than_o any_o other_o subject_n you_o will_v find_v that_o i_o go_v much_o by_o the_o way_n of_o argumentation_n and_o frame_v objection_n and_o answer_n for_o i_o will_v fain_o hinder_v and_o obstruct_v as_o many_o objection_n as_o can_v be_v make_v against_o the_o ground_n of_o my_o opinion_n but_o since_o it_o be_v impossible_a to_o resolve_v all_o for_o as_o nature_n and_o her_o part_n and_o action_n be_v infinite_a so_o there_o may_v also_o endless_a objection_n be_v raise_v i_o have_v endeavour_v only_o to_o set_v down_o such_o as_o i_o think_v may_v be_v most_o material_a but_o this_o i_o find_v that_o there_o be_v no_o objection_n but_o one_o may_v find_v a_o answer_n to_o it_o and_o as_o soon_o as_o i_o have_v make_v a_o answer_n to_o one_o objection_n another_o offer_v itself_o again_o which_o show_v not_o only_o that_o nature_n action_n be_v infinite_a but_o that_o they_o be_v poise_v and_o balance_v so_o that_o they_o can_v run_v into_o extreme_n however_o i_o do_v not_o appland_n myself_o so_o much_o as_o to_o think_v that_o my_o work_n can_v be_v without_o error_n for_o nature_n be_v not_o a_o

nature_n if_o the_o truth_n of_o nature_n be_v so_o easy_o know_v we_o have_v no_o need_n to_o take_v so_o much_o pain_n in_o search_v after_o it_o but_o nature_n be_v material_a and_o consequent_o

that_o they_o shall_v not_o be_v subject_a to_o fault_n and_o imperfection_n for_o as_o the_o great_a beauty_n be_v not_o without_o mole_n so_o the_o best_a book_n be_v seldom_o without_o error_n i_o

be_v more_o free_a and_o at_o liberty_n then_o the_o sensitive_a which_o be_v more_o encumber_v with_o work_v on_o and_o with_o the_o inanimate_a part_n of_o matter_n and_o therefore_o it_o may_v very_o well_o be_v that_o a_o man_n in_o a_o deep_a contemplative_a study_n do_v not_o always_o feel_v when_o he_o be_v pinch_v or_o touch_v because_o all_o the_o rational_a motion_n of_o his_o body_n concur_v or_o join_v to_o the_o conception_n of_o his_o muse_a thought_n so_o that_o only_o the_o sensitive_a motion_n in_o that_o part_n do_v work_n to_o the_o perception_n of_o touch_n when_o as_o the_o rational_a even_o of_o the_o same_o part_n may_v work_v to_o the_o conception_n of_o his_o thought_n beside_o it_o happen_v oft_o that_o there_o be_v not_o always_o a_o agreement_n betwixt_o the_o rational_a and_o sensitive_a motion_n even_o in_o the_o same_o part_n for_o the_o rational_a may_v move_v regular_o and_o the_o sensitive_a irregular_o or_o the_o sensitive_a may_v move_v regular_o and_o the_o rational_a irregular_o nay_o often_o there_o be_v irregularity_n and_o disagreement_n in_o the_o same_o degree_n of_o motion_n as_o betwixt_o rational_a and_o rational_a sensitive_a and_o sensitive_a and_o although_o it_o be_v proper_a for_o the_o rational_a to_o inform_v the_o sensitive_a yet_o the_o sensitive_a do_v often_o inform_v the_o rational_a only_o they_o can_v give_v such_o a_o general_a information_n as_o the_o rational_a for_o one_o rational_a part_n can_v inform_v all_o other_o rational_a part_n in_o a_o moment_n of_o time_n and_o by_o one_o act_n and_o therefore_o rational_a knowledge_n be_v not_o only_o in_o the_o head_n or_o brain_n but_o in_o every_o part_n or_o particle_n of_o the_o body_n some_o learned_a conceive_v that_o all_o knowledge_n be_v in_o the_o mind_n and_o none_o in_o the_o sense_n for_o the_o sense_n say_v they_o present_v only_o exterior_a object_n to_o the_o mind_n who_o sit_v as_o a_o judge_n in_o the_o kernel_n or_o four_o ventricle_n of_o the_o brain_n or_o in_o the_o orifice_n of_o the_o stomach_n and_o judge_n of_o they_o which_o in_o my_o apprehension_n be_v a_o very_a odd_a opinion_n for_o first_o they_o allow_v that_o all_o knowledge_n and_o perception_n come_v by_o the_o sense_n and_o the_o sensitive_a spirit_n who_o like_o faithful_a servant_n run_v to_o and_o fro_o as_o from_o the_o

be_v very_o dull_a servant_n and_o i_o wonder_v how_o they_o can_v inform_v the_o mind_n of_o what_o they_o do_v not_o know_v themselves_o perchance_o they_o will_v say_v it_o be_v after_o the_o manner_n or_o way_n of_o intelligence_n by_o letter_n and_o not_o by_o word_n of_o mouth_n for_o those_o that_o carry_v letter_n to_o and_o fro_o know_v nothing_o of_o the_o business_n that_o intercede_v betwixt_o the_o correspondent_o and_o so_o it_o may_v be_v betwixt_o the_o mind_n and_o the_o external_a object_n i_o answer_v first_o i_o can_v believe_v there_o be_v such_o a_o

intelligencer_n they_o will_v always_o have_v the_o like_a perception_n of_o each_o other_o which_o we_o see_v be_v not_o so_o for_o oftentimes_o i_o have_v a_o perception_n of_o such_o or_o such_o a_o object_n but_o that_o object_n may_v have_v no_o perception_n of_o i_o beside_o there_o be_v nothing_o carry_v from_o the_o object_n to_o the_o mind_n of_o the_o sentient_a by_o its_o officer_n the_o sensitive_a spirit_n as_o there_o be_v betwixt_o two_o correspondent_o for_o there_o be_v no_o perception_n make_v by_o a_o actual_a emission_n of_o part_n from_o the_o object_n to_o the_o mind_n for_o if_o perception_n be_v make_v that_o way_n not_o only_o some_o part_n of_o the_o object_n but_o the_o figure_n of_o the_o whole_a object_n will_v enter_v through_o the_o sensitive_a organ_n and_o presentit_fw-fr self_n before_o the_o mind_n by_o reason_n all_o object_n be_v not_o perceive_v in_o part_n but_o many_o in_o whole_a and_o since_o the_o exterior_a figure_n of_o the_o object_n be_v only_o perceive_v by_o the_o sense_n than_o the_o bare_a figure_n will_v enter_v into_o the_o brain_n without_o the_o body_n or_o substance_n of_o the_o object_n which_o how_o it_o can_v be_v i_o be_o not_o able_a to_o conceive_v nay_o if_o it_o be_v possible_a true_o it_o will_v not_o be_v hide_v from_o the_o mind_n officer_n the_o sensitive_a spirit_n except_o they_o do_v carry_v

in_o my_o opinion_n to_o say_v that_o the_o sense_n bring_v all_o knowledge_n of_o exterior_a object_n to_o the_o mind_n and_o yet_o have_v none_o themselves_o and_o that_o the_o mind_n chief_o

but_o when_o the_o figurative_a motion_n in_o particular_a production_n do_v not_o move_v after_o this_o ordinary_a way_n as_o in_o the_o production_n of_o monster_n it_o be_v call_v a_o
