human_a compositum_fw-la not_o possess_v it_o or_o the_o body_n of_o matter_n as_o the_o seven_o evil_a spirit_n do_v which_o our_o saviour_n cast_v out_o of_o mary_n magdalen_n but_o inform_v that_o be_v inspirit_v it_o naturaly_n and_o according_a to_o the_o whole_a scale_n of_o nature_n whereof_o they_o be_v all_o the_o classical_a spirit_n and_o if_o they_o be_v not_o all_o in_o the_o human_a compositum_fw-la man_n shall_v not_o be_v true_o the_o epitome_n of_o nature_n or_o any_o such_o microcosm_n in_o himself_o but_o as_o certain_o as_o he_o be_v composit_v of_o matter_n and_o spirit_n which_o yet_o remain_v distinct_a and_o different_a nature_n in_o one_o and_o the_o same_o compositum_fw-la so_o he_o have_v also_o all_o the_o inferior_a several_a spirit_n in_o he_o as_o well_o as_o the_o matter_n and_o the_o matter_n as_o well_o as_o they_o all_o which_o together_o be_v his_o human_a body_n and_o not_o only_o the_o matter_n and_o elementary_a mistion_n and_o now_o because_o i_o know_v that_o this_o affirmation_n of_o so_o many_o several_a spirit_n in_o every_o one_o man_n will_v seem_v very_o strange_a to_o any_o who_o do_v not_o attend_v and_o right_o consider_v the_o true_a system_n of_o nature_n as_o it_o be_v describe_v in_o this_o history_n of_o creation_n both_o proper_a and_o improper_a and_o because_o many_o christian_a philosopher_n who_o strong_o maintain_v and_o affirm_v the_o proper_a creation_n of_o the_o world_n against_o all_o atheism_n and_o heathenism_n yet_o do_v not_o herein_o also_o as_o they_o ought_v oppose_v the_o improper_a creation_n by_o god_n against_o human_a philosophy_n and_o invention_n of_o man_n from_o which_o they_o have_v derive_v some_o preconceive_a notion_n which_o be_v their_o only_a objection_n against_o this_o doctrine_n i_o shall_v recapitulate_v brief_o what_o i_o have_v former_o more_o full_o declare_v whereby_o they_o shall_v plain_o understand_v that_o the_o objection_n be_v only_a notion_n and_o that_o it_o be_v not_o nor_o can_v it_o be_v realy_n so_o in_o create_a nature_n thus_o as_o i_o have_v say_v god_n the_o creator_n be_v the_o only_a true_a eminence_n or_o eminent_a causality_n who_o comprehend_v all_o possibilitys_n not_o formal_o but_o eminent_o in_o his_o own_o infinite_a omnipotence_n can_v and_o do_v create_v what_o he_o please_v from_o absolute_a nonentity_n and_o so_o still_o do_v comprehend_v all_o create_v entitys_n not_o formal_o but_o eminent_o in_o his_o own_o infinite_a entity_n in_o a_o infinite_a and_o incomprehensible_a manner_n but_o as_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o any_o thing_n shall_v be_v generate_v actualy_n whereof_o there_o be_v only_o a_o nonentitative_a possibility_n and_o no_o entitative_a potentiality_n as_o i_o have_v distinguish_v they_o because_o generation_n be_v no_o creation_n so_o it_o be_v also_o impossible_a that_o any_o natural_a agent_n shall_v act_n or_o operate_v by_o any_o power_n which_o it_o have_v not_o formal_o in_o itself_o but_o only_o eminent_o as_o they_o say_v for_o if_o it_o can_v so_o act_n and_o operate_v than_o it_o have_v formal_o that_o power_n whereby_o it_o do_v so_o act_n or_o operate_v otherwise_o it_o shall_v act_n or_o operate_v without_o the_o formal_a and_o univocal_a power_n or_o it_o shall_v have_v ●_o and_o not_o have_v it_o both_o which_o be_v equaly_a impossible_a and_o so_o they_o say_v that_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n do_v sens_n and_o vegetate_fw-la and_o the_o like_a and_o yet_o have_v no_o sensitive_a or_o vegetative_a power_n and_o the_o like_a or_o that_o it_o have_v they_o eminent_o and_o not_o formal_o that_o be_v it_o have_v they_o and_o it_o have_v they_o not_o but_o since_o it_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o the_o human_a compositum_fw-la do_v sens_n and_o vegetate_fw-la and_o be_v hit_v cold_a moist_a dry_v realy_n and_o formal_o as_o well_o as_o any_o beast_n or_o tree_n or_o stone_n or_o the_o like_a it_o be_v most_o evident_a that_o it_o have_v formal_o the_o sensitive_a and_o vegetative_a and_o elementary_a power_n and_o qualitys_n as_o well_o as_o they_o and_o then_o by_o their_o own_o argument_n because_o the_o intellective_a soul_n can_v have_v they_o formal_o there_o must_v be_v also_o in_o man_n a_o sensitive_a vegetative_a and_o all_o the_o four_o elementary_a spirit_n wherein_o they_o do_v formal_o subsist_v again_o because_o god_n be_v infinite_o one_o most_o simple_a essence_n therefore_o he_o do_v also_o act_n and_o operate_v by_o his_o essence_n but_o all_o create_a substance_n even_a angel_n themselves_o as_o i_o shall_v show_v hereafter_o be_v not_o simple_a as_o god_n but_o have_v their_o substance_n and_o accident_n and_o act_n and_o operate_v by_o their_o accidental_a power_n and_o qualitys_n and_o so_o their_o nature_n be_v compose_v of_o substance_n and_o accident_n and_o the_o mutual_a conversation_n of_o one_o substance_n with_o another_o be_v by_o their_o accident_n that_o be_v their_o emissary_n and_o agencys_n and_o which_o meeting_n and_o join_v together_o as_o light_n with_o color_n by_o their_o conjunction_n and_o mutual_a action_n and_o passion_n the_o operation_n be_v produce_v which_o as_o i_o have_v say_v can_v be_v in_o vacuity_n or_o without_o some_o contact_n corporeal_a or_o spiritual_a and_o as_o we_o thus_o act_n and_o operate_v immediate_o by_o accident_n and_o upon_o accident_n so_o by_o they_o mediate_o we_o know_v substance_n of_o other_o thing_n and_o not_o otherwise_o thus_o the_o intellective_a soul_n do_v act_n and_o operate_v by_o understanding_n and_o will_n and_o by_o their_o proper_a irradiation_n and_o eradiation_n as_o i_o shall_v show_v hereafter_o and_o so_o the_o sensitive_a soul_n by_o its_o imagination_n and_o appetite_n and_o their_o proper_a irradiation_n and_o eradiation_n as_o i_o have_v show_v before_o whereby_o we_o know_v they_o to_o be_v what_o they_o be_v and_o therefore_o since_o man_n do_v thus_o sens_n as_o well_o as_o understand_v and_o the_o like_a he_o have_v also_o substantia_o in_o his_o compositum_fw-la a_o sensitive_a as_o well_o as_o a_o intellective_a soul_n and_o the_o like_a otherwise_o we_o must_v affirm_v his_o intellective_a soul_n to_o be_v also_o a_o sensitive_a soul_n which_o be_v to_o confound_v nature_n classica_o different_a and_o we_o may_v as_o well_o affirm_v it_o to_o be_v vegetative_a and_o elementary_a spirit_n and_o matter_n itself_o which_o all_o make_v the_o human_a compositum_fw-la again_o as_o matter_n be_v a_o imperfect_a substance_n must_v be_v composit_v with_o spirit_n to_o perfect_v it_o so_o every_o spirit_n that_o be_v inferior_a be_v more_o composit_v with_o it_o and_o other_o and_o the_o more_o superior_a less_o as_o i_o have_v show_v and_o this_o compositum_fw-la do_v not_o produce_v any_o new_a substance_n which_o be_v forma_fw-la compositi_fw-la nor_o be_v any_o such_o introduce_v into_o it_o aliunde_fw-la but_o it_o be_v only_o the_o result_n of_o the_o composition_n itself_o and_o the_o real_a relation_n thereof_o not_o abstract_o and_o metaphysica_o as_o entity_n genera_n species_n and_o the_o like_a but_o concrete_o and_o homophysica_o as_o i_o may_v term_v it_o as_o the_o univers_n all_o animal_n all_o man_n and_o the_o like_a which_o be_v also_o so_o many_o physical_a individua_fw-la and_o so_o be_v the_o human_a compositum_fw-la or_o man_n so_o many_o physical_a spirit_n and_o matter_n composit_v together_o and_o this_o be_v only_o a_o natural_a corporation_n wherein_o the_o intellective_a spirit_n predominate_v and_o so_o denominate_v the_o compositum_fw-la and_o the_o forma_fw-la compositi_fw-la which_o be_v one_o be_v only_o the_o result_n thereof_o and_o according_a to_o the_o scale_n and_o oeconomy_n of_o nature_n the_o composita_fw-la be_v thus_o naturaly_n unite_v together_o for_o so_o the_o elementary_a spirit_n do_v immediate_o consubstantiate_v the_o matter_n of_o the_o body_n of_o man_n and_o be_v all_o four_o mist_n together_o and_o have_v their_o four_o first_o and_o such_o other_o elementary_a qualitys_n which_o be_v yet_o occult_a and_o unknown_a to_o we_o actuate_v therein_o as_o well_o as_o in_o any_o other_o elementary_a compositum_fw-la stone_n wood_n or_o the_o like_a that_o be_v in_o the_o primigenious_a mi●tion_n and_o temper_v of_o the_o blood_n whereby_o and_o whereof_o the_o flesh_n bones_o and_o all_o the_o part_n of_o his_o body_n be_v constitute_v several_o and_o respective_o by_o the_o operation_n and_o distribution_n of_o the_o vegetative_a spirit_n which_o do_v so_o plastica_o govern_v and_o vary_v the_o elementary_a mistion_n and_o qualitys_n thereof_o as_o it_o do_v the_o matter_n and_o extension_n thereof_o so_o qualify_v and_o so_o form_n and_o frame_v the_o whole_a compage_n of_o the_o body_n organise_v and_o erect_v thereby_o and_o the_o vegetative_a spirit_n which_o do_v so_o govern_v and_o vary_v the_o elementary_a spirit_n do_v immediate_o consubstantiate_v they_o as_o they_o do_v the_o matter_n for_o as_o they_o can_v be_v and_o operate_v without_o the_o matter_n nor_o the_o matter_n
into_o the_o actuality_n than_o there_o be_v a_o generation_n thereof_o and_o when_o again_o that_o actuality_n be_v reduce_v into_o the_o potentiality_n than_o there_o be_v a_o corruption_n thereof_o but_o simple_a substance_n which_o subsist_v in_o themselves_o therefore_o always_o be_v actualy_n in_o themselves_o and_o be_v ingenerable_a and_o incorruptible_a thus_o in_o the_o beginning_n there_o be_v not_o only_o the_o matter_n nor_o only_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o superaether_o actualy_n subsist_v but_o also_o of_o aether_n air_n water_n and_o earth_n which_o do_v so_o denominate_v those_o first_o elementary_a composita_fw-la of_o the_o matter_n and_o their_o several_a spirit_n the_o heaven_n and_o the_o earth_n as_o i_o have_v show_v and_o so_o there_o be_v also_o in_o they_o and_o with_o they_o all_o the_o substantial_a simple_a vegetative_a and_o sensitive_a spirit_n subsist_v actualy_n in_o themselves_o though_o there_o be_v yet_o no_o such_o mist_n composita_fw-la of_o

or_o of_o elementary_a and_o vegetative_a with_o sensitive_a which_o may_v so_o denominate_v they_o tree_n beast_n and_o the_o like_a until_o such_o composita_fw-la be_v produce_v in_o the_o six_o

be_v in_o their_o chaos_n of_o potentiality_n as_o there_o be_v no_o actual_a light_n but_o darkness_n and_o so_o of_o the_o rest_n but_o yet_o the_o intrinsical_a essence_n or_o entity_n of_o light_n

forth_o upon_o the_o stage_n of_o nature_n and_o there_o appear_v and_o act_n or_o may_v so_o appear_v and_o will_v so_o act_n if_o there_o be_v no_o violent_a impediment_n as_o accident_n which_o be_v the_o emissary_n and_o instrument_n of_o spirit_n do_v exist_v when_o they_o be_v actualy_n so_o emit_v and_o instruct_v and_o consequent_o actuate_v whereby_o the_o spirit_n of_o sensible_a

and_o yet_o there_o may_v be_v such_o a_o violent_a impediment_n whereby_o like_o substantial_a spirit_n which_o always_o exist_v though_o sometime_o latent_fw-la they_o may_v not_o so_o appear_v and_o act_n unto_o or_o upon_o we_o though_o they_o exist_v actualy_n in_o themselves_o as_o a_o picture_n under_o a_o curtain_n or_o the_o like_a and_o so_o there_o may_v be_v also_o a_o erupturient_n endeavour_v which_o we_o call_v nisus_n when_o they_o can_v not_o appear_v and_o act_n as_o otherwise_o they_o may_v and_o will_v by_o reason_n of_o some_o more_o immediate_a obstruction_n like_o retention_n by_o any_o spontaneous_a power_n with_o some_o strife_n and_o difficulty_n which_o plain_o show_v they_o to_o be_v so_o far_o actual_a because_o there_o be_v no_o actual_a contention_n of_o or_o between_o any_o accident_n while_o they_o be_v in_o potentiality_n though_o their_o essential_a nature_n be_v most_o contrary_a one_o to_o another_o and_o i_o conceiv_v that_o all_o mistion_n and_o contemperature_n of_o contrary_a qualitys_n be_v first_o begin_v while_o they_o be_v in_o the_o chaos_n of_o their_o several_a potentialitys_n as_o they_o be_v so_o prepare_v and_o predispose_v by_o the_o divine_a spirit_n in_o the_o universal_a chaos_n as_o i_o have_v before_o show_v and_o then_o there_o be_v no_o actual_a contrariety_n between_o they_o they_o be_v easy_o mist_n at_o first_o and_o so_o by_o degree_n be_v more_o and_o more_o actualy_a mist_n as_o their_o contrary_a essence_n be_v more_o and_o more_o actuate_v and_o produce_v into_o

strength_n of_o opposition_n to_o lie_v and_o according_o address_v myself_o to_o prove_v that_o accident_n be_v realy_a different_n from_o their_o substance_n whereby_o i_o shall_v also_o prove_v that_o both_o substance_n and_o accident_n realy_a be_v because_o any_o real_a difference_n be_v only_o between_o real_a entitys_n now_o as_o i_o have_v say_v before_o god_n in_o the_o beginning_n

a_o bubble_n of_o vital_a liquor_n which_o first_o move_v and_o so_o form_n itself_o and_o its_o own_o coat_n or_o canale_n by_o a_o vital_a heat_n operate_a upon_o it_o whereby_o in_o the_o

must_v be_v such_o a_o temperament_n of_o all_o these_o four_o qualitys_n and_o consequent_o a_o mistion_n of_o the_o four_o element_n and_o elementary_a spirit_n wherein_o they_o do_v subsist_v and_o as_o these_o four_o qualitys_n be_v susceptible_a of_o more_o and_o less_o and_o thereby_o of_o many_o various_a degree_n so_o according_a to_o the_o arithmetical_a rule_n of_o change_n the_o
