thridde_n of_o jet_n or_o amber_n do_v in_o their_o stream_v abroad_o meet_a with_o a_o piece_n of_o straw_n or_o of_o hay_n or_o of_o a_o dry_a leaf_n or_o some_o such_o light_n and_o spongy_a body_n

the_o furthermost_a of_o they_o not_o only_o fall_v of_o but_o seem_v to_o be_v drive_v away_o forcible_o for_o they_o do_v not_o fall_v direct_o down_o but_o sidewayes_o and_o beside_o do_v fly_v

their_o main_a body_n the_o latter_a grain_n be_v shoulder_v of_o by_o other_o that_o already_o besiege_v the_o superficies_n and_o then_o the_o emanation_n retire_v swift_o the_o grain_n must_v

such_o secret_n as_o nature_n have_v a_o mind_n to_o hide_v from_o us._n wherefore_o our_o reader_n i_o be_o sure_a will_v not_o in_o this_o subject_n expect_v clear_a satisfaction_n or_o plain_a demonstration_n at_o our_o hand_n but_o will_n iugde_v we_o have_v fair_o acquit_v ourselves_o if_o what_o we_o say_v be_v any_o whitt_n plausible_a therefore_o to_o use_v our_o best_a endeavour_n to_o content_v he_o let_v we_o reflect_v upon_o the_o disposition_n of_o part_n of_o this_o habitable_a globe_n whereof_o we_o be_v tenant_n for_o life_n and_o we_o shall_v find_v that_o the_o sun_n by_o his_o constant_a course_n under_o the_o zodiac_n heat_v a_o great_a part_n of_o it_o unmeasurable_o more_o than_o he_o do_v the_o rest_n and_o consequent_o that_o this_o zodiac_n be_v in_o the_o midst_n between_o two_o as_o it_o be_v end_n which_o we_o call_v the_o pole_n these_o pole_n must_v necessary_o be_v extreme_o cold_a in_o respect_n of_o the_o torride_a zone_n for_o so_o we_o call_v that_o part_n of_o the_o earth_n which_o lie_v under_o the_o zodiac_n now_o look_v into_o the_o consequence_n of_o this_o we_o find_v that_o the_o sun_n or_o the_o sun_n heat_n which_o reflect_v from_o the_o earth_n in_o the_o torride_a zone_n must_v rarify_v the_o air_n extreme_o and_o according_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o all_o heat_n and_o fire_n must_v needs_o carry_v away_o from_o thence_o many_o part_n of_o the_o air_n and_o of_o the_o earth_n stick_v to_o that_o heat_n in_o such_o sort_n as_o we_o have_v former_o declare_v whence_o it_o follow_v that_o other_o air_n must_v necessary_o come_v from_o the_o region_n towards_o both_o the_o pole_n to_o supply_v what_o be_v carry_v away_o from_o the_o middle_n as_o be_v the_o course_n in_o other_o fire_n and_o as_o we_o have_v explicate_v above_o especial_o consider_v that_o the_o air_n which_o come_v from_o the_o polewarde_n be_v heavy_a than_o the_o air_n of_o the_o torride_a zone_n 7._o and_o therefore_o must_v natural_o press_v to_o be_v still_o near_o the_o earth_n and_o so_o as_o it_o be_v shoulder_v up_o the_o air_n of_o the_o torride_a zone_n towards_o the_o circumference_n by_o roll_v into_o its_o place_n and_o this_o in_o great_a quantity_n and_o consequent_o the_o polar_n air_n must_v draw_v a_o great_a train_n after_o it_o which_o if_o we_o consider_v the_o great_a extent_n of_o the_o torride_a zone_n we_o shall_v easy_o persuade_v ourselves_o that_o it_o must_v reach_v on_o each_o side_n to_o the_o very_a pole_n for_o take_v from_o archimedes_n that_o the_o spherical_a superficies_n of_o a_o portion_n of_o a_o spher●_n be_v to_o the_o superficies_n of_o the_o whole_a sphere_n according_a as_o the_o part_n of_o the_o axis_fw-la of_o that_o sphere_n comprise_v within_o the_o say_a portion_n be_v to_o the_o whole_a axis_fw-la and_o consider_v that_o in_o our_o case_n the_o part_n of_o the_o axis_fw-la comprise_v within_o the_o torride_a zone_n be_v to_o the_o whole_a axis_fw-la of_o the_o earth_n in_o about_o the_o proportion_n of_o 4._o to_o 10_o it_o must_v of_o necessity_n follow_v that_o a_o fire_n or_o great_a heat_n reign_v in_o so_o vast_a a_o extent_n will_v draw_v air_n very_o powerful_o from_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o world_n neither_o let_v any_o man_n apprehend_v that_o this_o course_n of_o the_o sun_n elevate_n so_o great_a quantity_n of_o atom_n in_o the_o torride_a zone_n shall_v hinder_v the_o course_n of_o gravity_n there_o for_o first_o the_o medium_n be_v much_o rare_a in_o the_o torride_a zone_n then_o in_o other_o part_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o therefore_o the_o force_n of_o the_o descend_a atom_n need_v not_o to_o be_v so_o great_a there_o as_o in_o other_o place_n to_o make_v body_n descend_v there_o as_o fast_o as_o they_o do_v else_o where_o second_o there_o be_v a_o perpetual_a supply_n of_o fresh_a air_n from_o the_o polar_n part_n stream_v continual_o into_o the_o torride_a zone_n it_o must_v of_o necessity_n happen_v that_o in_o the_o air_n there_o come_v atom_n to_o the_o torride_a zone_n of_o that_o grossness_n that_o
direct_v and_o impel_v by_o extrinsecall_a agent_n let_v we_o suppose_v that_o a_o body_n be_v place_v at_o liberty_n in_o the_o open_a air_n and_o then_o cast_v whether_o it_o will_v be_v move_v from_o the_o place_n we_o suppose_v it_o in_o and_o which_o way_n it_o will_v be_v move_v we_o shall_v find_v that_o it_o must_v of_o necessity_n happen_v that_o it_o shall_v descend_v and_o fall_v down_o till_o it_o meet_v with_o some_o other_o gross_a body_n to_o stay_v and_o support_v it_o for_o although_o of_o itself_o it_o will_v move_v no_o way_n yet_o if_o we_o find_v that_o any_o other_o body_n strike_v efficacious_o enough_o upon_o it_o we_o can_v not_o doubt_v but_o that_o it_o will_v move_v that_o way_n which_o the_o strike_a body_n impell_v it_o now_o it_o be_v strike_v upon_o on_o both_o side_n above_n and_o below_o by_o the_o ascend_a and_o the_o descend_a atom_n the_o rare_a one_o strike_v upon_o the_o bottom_n of_o it_o and_o drive_v it_o upwardes_o and_o the_o denser_n one_o press_v upon_o the_o top_n of_o it_o and_o bear_v it_o downwards_o but_o if_o you_o compare_v the_o impression_n that_o the_o denser_fw-fr atom_n make_v with_o those_o that_o proceed_v from_o the_o rare_a one_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o the_o dense_a one_o must_v be_v the_o more_o powerful_a and_o therefore_o will_v assure_o determine_v the_o motion_n of_o the_o body_n in_o the_o air_n that_o way_n they_o go_v which_o be_v downwards_o nor_o need_v we_o fear_v lest_o the_o litlenesse_n of_o the_o agent_n or_o the_o feebleness_n of_o their_o stroke_n shall_v not_o be_v sufficient_a to_o work_v this_o effect_n since_o there_o be_v no_o resistance_n in_o the_o body_n itself_o and_o the_o air_n be_v continual_o cut_v in_o piece_n by_o the_o sun_n beam_n and_o by_o the_o motion_n of_o little_a body_n so_o that_o the_o adhesion_n unto_o air_n of_o the_o body_n to_o be_v move_v will_v be_v no_o hindrance_n to_o this_o motion_n especial_o consider_v the_o perpetual_a new_a percussion_n and_o the_o multitude_n of_o they_o and_o how_o no_o force_n be_v so_o little_a but_o that_o with_o time_n and_o multiplication_n it_o will_v overcome_v any_o resistance_n but_o if_o any_o man_n desire_v to_o look_v upon_o gravity_n as_o it_o be_v at_o one_o view_n the_o whole_a chain_n of_o this_o doctrine_n of_o gravity_n let_v he_o turn_v the_o first_o cast_v of_o his_o eye_n upon_o what_o we_o have_v say_v of_o fire_n when_o we_o explicate_v the_o nature_n of_o it_o to_o wit_n that_o it_o begin_v from_o a_o little_a source_n and_o by_o extreme_a multiplication_n and_o rarefaction_n it_o extend_v itself_o into_o a_o great_a sphere_n and_o then_o he_o will_v perceive_v the_o reason_n why_o light_n be_v dart_v from_o the_o body_n of_o the_o sun_n with_o that_o incredible_a celerity_n wherewith_o its_o beam_n fly_v to_o visit_v the_o remote_a part_n of_o the_o world_n and_o how_o of_o necessity_n it_o give_v motion_n to_o all_o circumstant_fw-la body_n since_o it_o be_v violent_o thrust_v forward_o by_o so_o extreme_a a_o rarefaction_n and_o the_o further_a it_o go_v be_v still_o the_o more_o rarify_v and_o dilate_v next_o let_v he_o reflect_v how_o infinite_o the_o quickenesse_n of_o light_n motion_n do_v prevent_v the_o motion_n of_o a_o moist_a body_n such_o a_o one_o as_o air_n be_v and_o then_o he_o will_v plain_o see_v that_o the_o first_o motion_n which_o light_n be_v able_a to_o give_v unto_o the_o air_n must_v needs_o be_v a_o swell_a of_o that_o moist_a element_n perpendicular_o round_a about_o the_o earth_n for_o the_o ray_n descendent_a and_o the_o ray_n reflectent_n fly_v with_o so_o great_a a_o speed_n that_o the_o air_n between_o they_o can_v not_o take_v a_o formal_a ply_v any_o way_n before_o the_o beam_n of_o light_n be_v on_o both_o side_n of_o it_o it_o follow_v that_o according_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o humid_a thing_n it_o must_v first_o only_o swell_v for_o that_o be_v the_o begin_n of_o motion_n in_o they_o when_o heat_n enter_v into_o they_o and_o work_v upon_o they_o and_o thus_o he_o may_v confident_o resolve_v himself_o that_o the_o first_o motion_n which_o light_n cause_v in_o the_o air_n will_v be_v a_o swell_a of_o it_o between_o the_o two_o ray_n towards_o the_o middle_n of_o they_o that_o be_v perpendicular_o from_o the_o surface_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o out_o of_o this_o he_o will_v likewise_o plain_o see_v that_o if_o there_o be_v any_o other_o little_a dense_a body_n float_v in_o the_o air_n they_o must_v likewise_o mount_v a_o little_a through_o this_o swell_a and_o rise_v of_o the_o air_n but_o that_o mount_a will_v be_v no_o more_o than_o the_o immediate_a part_n of_o the_o air_n themselves_o do_v move_v because_o this_o motion_n be_v not_o by_o way_n of_o impulse_n or_o stroke_n that_o the_o air_n give_v those_o denser_n body_n but_o by_o way_n of_o contain_v they_o in_o it_o and_o carry_v they_o with_o it_o ●o_z that_o it_o give_v they_o no_o more_o celerity_n then_o to_o make_v they_o go_v with_o itself_o and_o as_o part_n of_o itself_o then_o let_v he_o consider_v that_o light_n or_o fire_n by_o much_o beat_n upon_o the_o earth_n divide_v some_o little_a part_n of_o it_o from_o other_o whereof_o if_o any_o do_v become_v so_o small_a and_o tractable_a as_o not_o to_o exceed_v the_o strength_n which_o the_o ray_n have_v to_o manage_v they_o the_o return_a ray_n will_v at_o their_o go_v back_o carry_v away_o with_o they_o or_o drive_v before_o they_o such_o little_a atom_n as_o they_o have_v make_v or_o meet_v with_o and_o so_o fill_v the_o air_n with_o little_a body_n cut_v out_o of_o the_o earth_n after_o this_o let_v he_o consider_v that_o when_o light_n carry_v up_o a_o atom_n with_o it_o the_o light_n and_o the_o atom_n do_v stick_v together_o and_o do_v make_v one_o ascend_a body_n in_o such_o sort_n as_o when_o a_o empty_a dish_n lie_v upon_o the_o water_n the_o air_n in_o the_o dish_n make_v one_o descendent_a body_n together_o with_o the_o dish_n itself_o so_o that_o the_o density_n of_o the_o whole_a body_n of_o air_n and_o dish_n which_o in_o this_o case_n be_v but_o as_o one_o body_n be_v to_o be_v esteem_v according_a to_o the_o density_n of_o the_o two_o part_n one_o of_o they_o be_v allay_v by_o the_o other_o as_o if_o the_o whole_a be_v throughout_o of_o such_o a_o proportion_n of_o density_n as_o will_v arise_v out_o of_o the_o composition_n and_o knead_n together_o the_o several_a density_n of_o those_o two_o part_n now_o then_o when_o these_o little_a compound_a body_n of_o light_n and_o earth_n be_v carry_v up_o to_o a_o determinate_a height_n the_o part_n of_o fire_n or_o light_n do_v by_o little_a and_o little_o break_v away_o from_o they_o and_o thereby_o the_o bulk_n of_o the_o part_n which_o be_v leave_v become_v of_o a_o different_a degree_n of_o density_n quantity_n for_o quantity_n from_o the_o bulk_n of_o the_o entire_a atom_n when_o light_n be_v part_n of_o it_o and_o consequent_o it_o be_v denser_n than_o it_o be_v beside_o let_v he_o consider_v that_o when_o these_o body_n ascend_v they_o do_v go_v from_o a_o narrow_a room_n to_o a_o large_a one_o that_o be_v from_o the_o centerwardes_o to_o the_o circumference_n but_o when_o they_o come_v down_o again_o they_o go_v from_o a_o large_a part_n to_o a_o narrow_a whence_o it_o follow_v that_o as_o they_o descend_v they_o draw_v close_o and_o close_o together_o and_o by_o consequence_n be_v subject_a to_o meet_v and_o to_o fall_v in_o one_o with_o a_o other_o and_o thereby_o to_o increase_v their_o bulk_n and_o to_o become_v more_o powerful_a in_o density_n not_o only_o by_o the_o loss_n of_o their_o fire_n but_o also_o by_o the_o increase_n of_o their_o quantity_n and_o so_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o they_o be_v denser_n come_v down_o then_o go_v up_o last_o let_v he_o consider_v that_o those_o atom_n which_o go_v up_o first_o and_o be_v part_v from_o their_o volatile_a companion_n of_o fire_n or_o light_n must_v begin_v to_o come_v down_o apace_o when_o other_o new_a atom_n which_o still_o have_v their_o light_n incorporate_v with_o they_o do_v ascend_v to_o where_o they_o be_v and_o do_v go_v beyond_o they_o by_o reason_n of_o their_o great_a levity_n and_o as_o the_o latter_a atom_n come_v up_o with_o a_o violence_n and_o a_o great_a celerity_n so_o must_v the_o first_o go_v down_o with_o a_o smart_a impulse_n and_o by_o consequence_n be_v more_o dense_a than_o the_o air_n in_o which_o they_o be_v carry_v must_v of_o necessity_n cut_v

out_o in_o the_o same_o time_n unto_o which_o i_o answer_v out_o of_o the_o same_o ground_n as_o before_o that_o because_o in_o run_v twice_o as_o fast_o there_o go_v out_o double_a water_n in_o every_o part_n of_o time_n and_o again_o every_o part_n of_o water_n go_v a_o double_a space_n in_o the_o same_o part_n of_o time_n that_o be_v to_o say_v because_o double_v the_o celerity_n be_v

the_o quadrate_n of_o a_o double_a line_n be_v to_o the_o quadrate_n of_o half_a that_o line_n and_o so_o you_o see_v the_o reason_n of_o what_o he_o by_o experience_n find_v to_o be_v true_a though_o

a_o experience_n which_o galileo_n deliver_v will_v confirm_v this_o doctrine_n he_o say_v that_o to_o make_v the_o same_o pendant_n go_v twice_o as_o fast_o as_o it_o do_v or_o to_o make_v every_o

before_o whence_o it_o follow_v that_o the_o circle_n by_o which_o it_o go_v be_v likewise_o in_o double_a geometrical_a proportion_n and_o this_o be_v certain_a that_o celerity_n to_o celerity_n have_v the_o proportion_n of_o force_n which_o weight_n have_v to_o weight_n it_o be_v evident_a that_o as_o in_o one_o case_n there_o must_v be_v weight_n in_o geometrical_a proportion_n so_o in_o the_o other_o case_n where_o only_a celerity_n make_v the_o variance_n the_o celerity_n must_v be_v in_o double_a geometrical_a proportion_n according_a as_o galileo_n find_v it_o by_o experience_n but_o to_o return_v to_o our_o main_a intent_n there_o be_v to_o be_v further_o note_v that_o if_o the_o subject_n strike_v be_v of_o a_o proportionate_a cessibility_n it_o seem_v to_o dull_a and_o

that_o in_o both_o case_n the_o effect_n be_v equal_a but_o diverse_a according_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v strike_v for_o no_o force_n that_o once_o be_v in_o nature_n can_v be_v lose_v but_o must_v have_v its_o adequate_a effect_n one_o way_n or_o other_o let_v we_o then_o first_o suppose_v the_o body_n strike_v to_o be_v a_o hard_a body_n of_o no_o exceed_a biggnesse_n in_o which_o case_n if_o the_o stroke_n light_v perpendiculary_a upon_o it_o it_o will_v carry_v such_o a_o body_n before_o it_o but_o if_o the_o body_n be_v too_o great_a and_o have_v its_o part_n so_o conjoin_v as_o that_o they_o be_v weak_a they_o the_o stroke_n in_o this_o case_n the_o stroke_n drive_v one_o part_n before_o it_o and_o so_o break_v it_o from_o the_o rest_n but_o last_o if_o the_o part_n of_o the_o strike_a body_n be_v so_o easy_o cessible_a as_o without_o difficulty_n the_o stroke_n can_v divide_v they_o than_o it_o enter_v into_o such_o a_o body_n until_o it_o have_v

that_o joy_n and_o grief_n follow_v the_o stroke_n of_o sense_n the_o one_o of_o they_o must_v consist_v in_o a_o oily_a dilatation_n that_o be_v the_o spirit_n about_o the_o hart_n must_v be_v

the_o more_o she_o can_v multiply_v again_o the_o maxim_n which_o be_v necessary_a to_o be_v add_v unto_o the_o definition_n for_o gain_v of_o knowledge_n we_o see_v be_v also_o compound_v of_o

therefore_o neither_o can_v the_o science_n themselves_o be_v want_v unto_o she_o now_o if_o we_o consider_v that_o in_o the_o same_o fashion_n as_o demonstration_n be_v make_v and_o knowledge_n be_v acquire_v in_o one_o science_n by_o the_o same_o mean_n there_o be_v a_o transcendence_n from_o science_n to_o science_n and_o that_o there_o be_v a_o connexion_n among_o all_o the_o science_n which_o

these_o motion_n proceed_v from_o spiritual_a judgement_n so_o far_o it_o be_v clear_a they_o must_v remain_v in_o the_o separate_a soul_n peradventure_o what_o i_o have_v say_v may_v be_v liable_a to_o a_o mistake_n as_o though_o i_o conceive_v that_o these_o spiritual_a judgement_n be_v make_v in_o the_o soul_n according_a to_o right_a reason_n and_o to_o legitimate_a discourse_n whereas_o i_o mean_v nothing_o less_o but_o esteem_v a_o overstrong_a judgement_n in_o the_o separate_a soul_n to_o be_v proportionable_a unto_o a_o passion_n in_o the_o body_n i_o conceit_n that_o as_o passion_n

over_o other_o who_o force_n according_a to_o nature_n ought_v to_o be_v great_a than_o it_o so_o that_o if_o we_o will_v frame_v a_o conception_n of_o a_o disorder_a soul_n when_o it_o be_v out_o

of_o a_o disorder_a separate_a soul_n it_o be_v easy_a to_o conceive_v what_o a_o sad_a condition_n such_o a_o one_o remain_v then_o in_o which_o be_v infinite_o more_o than_o any_o affliction_n that_o can_v happen_v to_o a_o man_n in_o this_o world_n for_o since_o even_o here_o all_o our_o joy_n and_o grief_n do_v proceed_v from_o our_o soul_n we_o must_v needs_o allow_v that_o when_o she_o

the_o most_o powerful_a and_o most_o forcible_a agent_n if_o then_o in_o these_o consideration_n we_o compare_v a_o separate_a soul_n to_o a_o body_n what_o a_o infinity_n of_o strength_n and_o efficacity_n will_v the_o mean_a of_o those_o pure_a substance_n have_v beyond_o the_o most_o powerful_a and_o active_a body_n
she_o will_v in_o the_o first_o instant_n of_o she_o be_v be_v perfect_a in_o knowledge_n or_o she_o will_v not_o if_o she_o be_v than_o will_v she_o be_v a_o perfect_a and_o complete_a immaterial_a

all_o indivisible_a it_o follow_v clear_o that_o whatsoever_o concern_v they_o be_v not_o in_o this_o instant_n can_v never_o be_v instantaneous_o these_o two_o conclusion_n be_v thus_o demonstrate_v let_v we_o in_o the_o next_o place_n determine_v how_o all_o action_n of_o pure_a spirit_n which_o have_v no_o respect_n to_o body_n must_v of_o necessity_n be_v indivisible_a that_o be_v must_v include_v no_o continuate_a succession_n by_o which_o i_o mean_v such_o a_o succession_n as_o may_v be_v divide_v into_o part_n without_o end_n for_o if_o we_o look_v well_o into_o it_o we_o shall_v find_v that_o a_o continuate_a succession_n can_v not_o be_v a_o thing_n which_o have_v in_o itself_o a_o be_v and_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o the_o essence_n of_o such_o a_o succession_n consist_v in_o have_v some_o of_o its_o part_n already_o pass_v and_o other_o of_o they_o yet_o to_o come_v but_o on_o the_o other_o side_n it_o be_v evident_a that_o no_o such_o thing_n can_v be_v who_o essential_a ingredient_n be_v not_o itself_o and_o therefore_o it_o follow_v evident_o that_o such_o a_o thing_n as_o we_o call_v succession_n can_v have_v no_o be_v in_o itself_o see_v that_o one_o essential_a part_n of_o it_o never_o be_v with_o the_o other_o therefore_o such_o a_o succession_n must_v have_v its_o be_v in_o some_o permanent_a thing_n which_o must_v be_v divisible_a for_o that_o be_v essential_o require_v in_o succession_n but_o permanent_a divisibility_n be_v that_o which_o we_o call_v biggenesse_n or_o quantity_n from_o which_o pure_a spirit_n be_v free_a and_o therefore_o it_o be_v most_o evident_a that_o all_o their_o action_n in_o respect_n of_o themselves_o be_v absolute_o indivisible_a separation_n now_o to_o make_v use_n of_o this_o doctrine_n to_o our_o intent_n we_o say_v that_o since_o our_o soul_n when_o it_o be_v separate_v from_o our_o body_n be_v a_o pure_a spirit_n or_o understanding_n and_o that_o all_o her_o action_n be_v indivisible_a and_o that_o all_o action_n of_o other_o spirit_n upon_o she_o must_v likewise_o be_v such_o and_o by_o consequence_n that_o there_o can_v be_v no_o continuate_a succession_n of_o action_n among_o they_o we_o must_v of_o necessity_n conclude_v that_o according_a to_o the_o private_a nature_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o according_a to_o the_o common_a notion_n of_o spiritual_a thing_n there_o can_v be_v no_o change_n make_v in_o she_o after_o the_o first_o instant_n of_o her_o part_n from_o her_o body_n but_o what_o happiness_n or_o misery_n betide_v she_o in_o that_o instant_n continue_v with_o she_o for_o all_o eternity_n yet_o be_v it_o not_o my_o mind_n to_o say_v that_o by_o the_o course_n of_o the_o universal_a resolution_n from_o which_o she_o be_v not_o whole_o exempt_a and_o from_o supernatural_a administration_n of_o corporeal_a thing_n there_o may_v not_o result_v some_o change_n in_o she_o but_o the_o consideration_n of_o that_o matter_n i_o remit_v to_o those_o treatise_n unto_o which_o it_o belong_v as_o not_o depend_v nor_o ensue_v from_o the_o particular_a nature_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o therefore_o not_o fall_v under_o our_o discussion_n in_o this_o place_n this_o same_o conclusion_n may_v be_v prove_v by_o a_o other_o argument_n beside_o this_o which_o we_o have_v now_o use_v and_o it_o be_v this_o whatsoever_o work_v pure_o by_o understanding_n and_o mind_n can_v not_o be_v change_v in_o its_o operation_n unless_o its_o understanding_n or_o mind_n be_v alter_v but_o this_o can_v not_o happen_v unless_o either_o it_o learn_v somewhat_o it_o know_v not_o before_o or_o forget_v a_o foreknow_v truth_n it_o begin_v afterwards_o to_o think_v a_o falsity_n this_o second_o part_n be_v impossible_a as_o we_o have_v already_o show_v when_o we_o prove_v that_o falsehood_n can_v have_v no_o admittance_n into_o a_o separate_a soul_n and_o the_o former_a be_v as_o impossible_a it_o be_v likewise_o prove_v that_o at_o her_o first_o instant_n of_o her_o separation_n she_o know_v all_o thing_n wherefore_o we_o may_v hence_o confident_o conclude_v that_o no_o change_n of_o mind_n that_o be_v no_o change_n at_o all_o can_v happen_v to_o a_o abstract_a soul_n and_o thus_o pain●s_n by_o discourse_n we_o may_v arrive_v to_o quit_v ourselves_o easy_o of_o that_o famous_a objection_n so_o much_o pester_v christian_a religion_n how_o god_n can_v in_o
