our_o mind_n make_v of_o nothing_o or_o as_o logician_n term_v it_o of_o negation_n and_o privation_n which_o do_v argue_v a_o admirable_a power_n in_o the_o soul_n and_o of_o a_o quite_o different_a

to_o have_v a_o notion_n of_o nothing_o for_o since_o it_o be_v most_o clear_a that_o something_o can_v not_o be_v like_o nothing_o and_o that_o there_o can_v not_o be_v a_o participation_n of_o what_o be_v not_o how_o can_v we_o conceive_v that_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o similitude_n make_v of_o nothing_o the_o way_n therefore_o that_o the_o soul_n take_v in_o this_o operation_n be_v that_o

when_o we_o â—ind_v it_o be_v beyond_o their_o reach_n to_o compass_v we_o must_v acknowledge_v that_o the_o soul_n be_v a_o other_o kind_n of_o engine_n than_o all_o those_o which_o be_v in_o the_o

our_o next_o consideration_n shall_v be_v to_o see_v what_o testimony_n our_o manner_n of_o judge_v do_v yield_v we_o of_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o soul_n concern_v which_o three_o thing_n offer_v

falsehood_n as_o for_o the_o first_o we_o may_v remember_v how_o we_o have_v show_v that_o all_o judgement_n or_o deem_v be_v but_o a_o apprehension_n of_o identification_n or_o something_o immediate_o follow_v out_o of_o it_o and_o that_o a_o settle_a judgement_n or_o assent_n of_o the_o mind_n be_v as_o it_o be_v a_o limb_n or_o branch_n or_o graft_v in_o our_o soul_n so_o that_o we_o find_v that_o our_o perceive_v of_o identification_n between_o two_o thing_n or_o our_o see_v that_o the_o one_o be_v the_o other_o be_v that_o by_o which_o our_o soul_n increase_v now_o because_o when_o two_o thing_n be_v identify_v the_o one_o reach_v not_o further_a than_o the_o other_o it_o be_v clear_a that_o this_o increase_n of_o the_o soul_n be_v not_o make_v by_o part_n which_o be_v add_v one_o to_o a_o other_o do_v cause_n it_o to_o be_v great_a and_o therefore_o since_o this_o latter_a course_n be_v the_o only_a mean_n of_o increase_n in_o body_n and_o in_o quantity_n it_o be_v as_o clear_v that_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o soul_n be_v quite_o different_a from_o the_o nature_n of_o all_o corporeal_a or_o quantitative_a thing_n again_o it_o be_v against_o the_o nature_n of_o identification_n to_o be_v of_o part_n and_o therefore_o they_o who_o take_v quantity_n to_o be_v one_o thing_n and_o not_o many_o thing_n tie_v together_o do_v acknowledge_v that_o true_o there_o be_v no_o part_n in_o it_o and_o this_o be_v so_o rigorous_o true_a that_o although_o we_o speak_v of_o two_o thing_n that_o in_o reality_n be_v identify_v one_o with_o a_o other_o yet_o if_o our_o word_n be_v such_o as_o imply_v that_o our_o understanding_n consider_v they_o as_o distinct_a part_n and_o by_o abstraction_n give_v they_o the_o nature_n of_o part_n then_o they_o be_v no_o long_o identify_v but_o in_o good_a logic_n we_o ought_v in_o this_o case_n to_o deny_v the_o one_o of_o the_o other_o as_o for_o example_n though_o the_o hand_n and_o the_o foot_n be_v the_o same_o thing_n as_o we_o have_v declare_v in_o our_o first_o treatise_n yet_o because_o in_o the_o name_n hand_n there_o be_v a_o secret_a exclusion_n of_o any_o thing_n that_o be_v not_o in_o the_o definition_n of_o a_o hand_n it_o follow_v that_o in_o our_o speech_n we_o must_v say_v that_o a_o hand_n be_v not_o a_o foot_n likewise_o though_o it_o be_v confess_v that_o the_o thing_n which_o be_v rationality_n be_v also_o risibility_n nevertheless_o it_o be_v a_o solecism_n in_o logic_n to_o say_v that_o rationality_n be_v risibility_n because_o it_o be_v the_o nature_n of_o these_o abstract_a name_n to_o confine_v their_o signifycation_n to_o one_o definition_n and_o the_o definition_n of_o these_o two_o term_n be_v diverse_a out_o of_o this_o consideration_n it_o follow_v clear_o that_o see_v the_o nature_n of_o part_n be_v contrary_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o identity_n and_o that_o the_o soul_n in_o her_o judgement_n work_v altogether_o by_o identity_n it_o be_v impossible_a that_o her_o operation_n shall_v consist_v of_o part_n or_o in_o any_o sort_n resemble_v any_o proceed_n of_o quantitative_a thing_n the_o like_a will_v be_v convince_v out_o of_o the_o opposition_n we_o find_v in_o our_o thought_n judgement_n in_o it_o we_o may_v consider_v two_o thing_n first_o the_o generation_n of_o it_o next_o the_o incompossibility_n of_o opposite_n in_o the_o soul_n to_o begin_v with_o the_o first_o we_o see_v that_o in_o our_o speak_n opposition_n be_v produce_v by_o the_o addition_n of_o this_o word_n not_o as_o when_o we_o say_v not_o a_o man_n not_o a_o penny_n not_o a_o word_n and_o therefore_o it_o follow_v that_o in_o our_o soul_n there_o be_v a_o notion_n of_o it_o correspondent_a to_o the_o word_n that_o express_v it_o now_o see_v that_o a_o notion_n be_v a_o thing_n and_o that_o it_o be_v the_o likeness_n of_o its_o object_n or_o rather_o the_o same_o with_o the_o object_n let_v we_o cast_v about_o how_o we_o shall_v of_o part_n and_o of_o quantity_n make_v a_o nothing_o or_o a_o identification_n to_o not_o and_o when_o we_o find_v that_o it_o be_v ridiculous_a and_o absurd_a to_o go_v about_o it_o let_v we_o conclude_v that_o the_o manner_n of_o work_v which_o our_o soul_n use_v be_v far_o
the_o existence_n of_o the_o soul_n itself_o and_o to_o be_v in_o the_o soul_n by_o the_o identification_n of_o those_o other_o thing_n unto_o herself_o immaterial_a now_o then_o to_o proceed_v to_o the_o proof_n of_o our_o propose_a conclusion_n it_o be_v clear_a that_o the_o add_v of_o one_o thing_n to_o a_o other_o do_v out_o of_o the_o force_n of_o this_o addition_n perfect_a the_o thing_n unto_o which_o the_o addition_n be_v make_v if_o the_o advenient_a thing_n be_v add_v in_o such_o way_n as_o the_o former_a be_v apt_a to_o receive_v it_o but_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o the_o soul_n be_v make_v fit_a by_o former_a proposition_n to_o be_v identify_v to_o late_a one_o for_o we_o see_v that_o the_o former_a one_o draw_v on_o and_o infer_v the_o late_a one_o and_o therefore_o it_o follow_v that_o the_o more_o be_v add_v to_o the_o soul_n the_o great_a be_v her_o aptitude_n to_o have_v more_o or_o to_o be_v more_o increase_v and_o consequent_o that_o the_o more_o be_v add_v unto_o she_o the_o more_o may_v still_o be_v add_v and_o the_o more_o capable_a and_o more_o earnest_n she_o be_v to_o have_v more_o wherefore_o it_o can_v not_o be_v deny_v but_o that_o since_o in_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o object_n there_o be_v no_o impediment_n to_o hinder_v their_o be_v together_o in_o the_o soul_n as_o we_o have_v prove_v a_o little_a above_o and_o that_o in_o she_o by_o

manner_n as_o we_o have_v above_o express_v now_o to_o apply_v to_o our_o purpose_n what_o we_o have_v gather_v by_o this_o discourse_n it_o be_v clear_a that_o these_o two_o condition_n of_o one_o thing_n not_o drive_v out_o a_o other_o and_o of_o infinity_n of_o accession_n do_v open_o disclaim_v from_o quantity_n and_o from_o matter_n for_o we_o see_v that_o what_o have_v quantity_n or_o be_v

her_o action_n be_v a_o order_n and_o that_o in_o this_o line_n there_o be_v but_o two_o sort_n of_o thing_n in_o the_o world_n namely_o such_o as_o do_v order_n and_o such_o as_o be_v to_o be_v order_v it_o be_v manifest_a that_o the_o action_n must_v by_o nature_n and_o in_o the_o universal_a consideration_n of_o it_o begin_v from_o the_o orderer_n in_o who_o order_n have_v its_o life_n and_o subsistence_n and_o not_o from_o that_o which_o be_v to_o receive_v it_o then_o since_o order_v be_v motion_n it_o follow_v evident_o that_o the_o soul_n be_v a_o mover_n and_o a_o beginner_n of_o motion_n but_o since_o we_o may_v conceive_v two_o sort_n of_o moover_n the_o one_o when_o the_o agent_n be_v move_v to_o move_v the_o other_o when_o of_o itself_o it_o begin_v â—he_v motion_n without_o be_v move_v we_o be_v to_o inquire_v unto_o which_o of_o these_o two_o the_o soul_n belong_v but_o to_o apprehend_v the_o question_n right_o we_o will_v illustrate_v it_o by_o a_o example_n let_v we_o suppose_v that_o some_o action_n be_v fit_a to_o begin_v at_o ten_o of_o the_o clock_n now_o we_o may_v imagine_v a_o agent_n to_o begin_v this_o action_n in_o two_o different_a manner_n the_o one_o that_o the_o clock_n strike_v ten_o breed_v or_o stir_v somewhat_o in_o he_o from_o whence_o this_o action_n follow_v the_o other_o manner_n be_v that_o the_o agent_n may_v of_o his_o own_o nature_n have_v such_o a_o actual_a comprehension_n or_o decurrence_n of_o time_n within_o himself_o as_o that_o without_o receive_v any_o warning_n from_o abroad_o but_o as_o though_o he_o move_v and_o order_v the_o clock_n as_o well_o as_o his_o own_o instrument_n he_o may_v of_o himself_o be_v fit_a and_o ready_a just_a at_o that_o hour_n to_o begin_v that_o action_n not_o as_o if_o the_o clock_n tell_v he_o what_o hour_n it_o be_v but_o as_o if_o he_o by_o govern_v the_o clock_n make_v that_o hour_n to_o be_v as_o well_o as_o he_o cause_v the_o action_n to_o begin_v at_o that_o hour_n in_o the_o first_o of_o these_o manner_n the_o agent_n be_v move_v to_o move_v but_o in_o the_o second_o he_o move_v of_o himself_o without_o be_v move_v by_o any_o thing_n else_o and_o in_o this_o second_o way_n our_o soul_n of_o her_o own_o nature_n communicate_v herself_o to_o quantitative_a thing_n and_o give_v they_o motion_n which_o follow_v out_o of_o what_o we_o have_v already_o

of_o time_n and_o of_o the_o course_n of_o all_o other_o thing_n as_o of_o the_o particular_a action_n he_o be_v to_o do_v and_o consequent_o stand_v not_o in_o need_n of_o a_o monitor_n without_o she_o to_o direct_v she_o when_o to_o begin_v if_o then_o it_o be_v a_o imprevaricable_a law_n with_o all_o body_n that_o none_o whatsoever_o can_v move_v unless_o it_o be_v move_v by_o a_o other_o it_o follow_v that_o the_o soul_n which_o move_v without_o be_v stir_v or_o excitate_v by_o any_o thing_n else_o be_v of_o a_o high_a race_n than_o they_o and_o consequent_o be_v immaterial_a and_o

of_o all_o other_o creature_n whatsoever_o for_o example_n if_o a_o man_n be_v speak_v to_o or_o ask_v of_o a_o hundred_o several_a thing_n that_o he_o never_o think_v of_o before_o in_o all_o his_o

two_o way_n first_o because_o all_o the_o contrariety_n that_o be_v find_v within_o our_o cognisance_n do_v arise_v out_o of_o the_o primary_n opposition_n of_o rarity_n and_o density_n from_o which_o the_o soul_n be_v absolute_o free_a she_o likewise_o be_v so_o from_o all_o that_o grow_v out_o of_o that_o root_n and_o second_o we_o may_v be_v sure_a that_o our_o soul_n can_v receive_v no_o harm_n from_o contrariety_n since_o all_o contrary_n be_v so_o far_o from_o hurt_v she_o as_o contrary_a wise_a the_o one_o help_v she_o in_o the_o contemplation_n of_o the_o other_o and_o as_o for_o

of_o this_o discourse_n we_o must_v intimate_v what_o it_o be_v we_o level_v at_o in_o it_o we_o direct_v it_o to_o two_o end_n first_o to_o lead_v on_o our_o thought_n and_o to_o help_v our_o

eminent_a propriety_n of_o a_o separate_a soul_n namely_o that_o she_o be_v no_o where_o and_o yet_o upon_o the_o matter_n that_o she_o be_v every_o where_o that_o she_o be_v bind_v to_o no_o place_n

all_o without_o remove_v or_o part_v from_o any_o one_o it_o a_o second_o propriety_n not_o much_o unlike_o this_o first_o we_o shall_v discover_v in_o a_o separate_a soul_n if_o we_o compare_v she_o with_o time_n we_o have_v heretofore_o explicate_v how_o time_n be_v the_o motion_n of_o the_o heaven_n which_o give_v we_o our_o motion_n which_o measure_v all_o particular_a motion_n and_o which_o

consist_v with_o time_n that_o be_v to_o say_v she_o be_v while_o time_n be_v yet_o be_v â—he_n not_o in_o time_n nor_o do_v she_o in_o any_o of_o her_o action_n expect_v time_n but_o she_o be_v

soul_n who_o be_v total_o a_o be_v and_o have_v her_o whole_a operation_n all_o together_o as_o be_v nothing_o but_o herself_o when_o we_o speak_v of_o her_o perfective_a operation_n can_v not_o be_v

she_o do_v and_o know_v at_o once_o with_o one_o act_n of_o the_o understanding_n or_o rather_o she_o be_v indeed_o and_o real_o all_o that_o and_o therefore_o she_o do_v not_o require_v time_n to_o

to_o give_v way_n to_o one_o and_o other_o but_o she_o think_v of_o all_o the_o thing_n in_o the_o world_n and_o of_o all_o that_o she_o can_v think_v of_o together_z and_o at_o once_o as_o hereafter_o we_o intend_v to_o show_v a_o three_o propriety_n we_o may_v conceive_v to_o be_v in_o a_o separate_a soul_n by_o apprehend_v she_o to_o be_v a_o activity_n activity_n which_o that_o we_o

body_n which_o seem_v most_o to_o move_v themselves_o as_o upon_o a_o little_a consideration_n will_v appear_v plain_o a_o beast_n seem_v to_o move_v itself_o but_o if_o we_o call_v to_o mind_n what_o we_o have_v deliver_v upon_o this_o subject_n in_o the_o first_o treatise_n we_o shall_v find_v that_o whensoever_o he_o begin_v to_o move_v he_o either_o perceive_v something_o by_o his_o sense_n which_o cause_v his_o motion_n or_o else_o he_o remember_v something_o that_o be_v in_o his_o brain_n which_o work_v the_o like_a effect_n now_o if_o sense_n present_v he_o a_o object_n that_o cause_v his_o motion_n we_o see_v manifest_o that_o it_o be_v a_o external_a cause_n which_o make_v he_o move_v but_o if_o memory_n do_v it_o we_o shall_v find_v that_o stir_v by_o some_o other_o part_n as_o

in_o a_o word_n all_o body_n be_v of_o this_o nature_n that_o unless_o some_o other_o thing_n press_v they_o and_o alter_v they_o when_o they_o be_v quiett_v they_o remain_v so_o and_o have_v no_o activity_n otherwise_o then_o from_o a_o extrinsecall_a mover_n but_o of_o the_o soul_n we_o have_v declare_v the_o contrary_a and_o that_o by_o its_o nature_n motion_n may_v proceed_v from_o it_o without_o any_o mutation_n in_o it_o or_o without_o its_o receive_v any_o order_n direction_n or_o impulse_n from_o a_o extrinsecall_a cause_n soul_n so_o that_o now_o sum_v up_o together_o all_z we_o

by_o what_o itself_o be_v to_o all_o thing_n whatsoever_o this_o she_o be_v if_o she_o be_v perfect_a but_o if_o she_o be_v imperfect_a then_o be_v she_o all_o this_o to_o the_o proportion_n of_o

that_o can_v be_v imagine_v in_o nature_n for_o we_o have_v already_o show_v how_o a_o separate_a soul_n comprehend_v at_o once_o all_o place_n and_o all_o time_n so_o that_o her_o activity_n

let_v we_o conceive_v that_o all_o the_o quantity_n of_o the_o world_n be_v in_o one_o uniform_a substance_n than_o the_o whole_a universe_n will_v be_v in_o one_o and_o the_o same_o degree_n of_o

the_o definition_n which_o aristotle_n have_v give_v we_o of_o rarity_n and_o density_n be_v the_o same_o we_o drive_v at_o he_o tell_v we_o that_o that_o body_n be_v rare_a who_o quantity_n be_v more_o and_o its_o substance_n less_o that_o contrariwise_o dense_a where_o the_o substance_n be_v more_o and_o the_o quantity_n less_o now_o if_o we_o look_v into_o the_o propriety_n of_o the_o body_n we_o have_v name_v or_o of_o any_o other_o we_o shall_v see_v they_o all_o follow_v clear_o out_o of_o these_o definition_n for_o first_o that_o one_o be_v more_o diffuse_v a_o other_o more_o compact_a such_o diffusion_n and_o compaction_n seem_v to_o be_v the_o very_a nature_n of_o rarity_n and_o density_n suppose_v they_o to_o be_v such_o as_o we_o have_v define_v they_o to_o be_v see_v that_o substance_n be_v more_o diffuse_v by_o have_v more_o part_n or_o by_o be_v in_o more_o part_n and_o be_v more_o compact_a by_o the_o contrary_n and_o then_o that_o rare_a body_n be_v more_o divisible_a than_o dense_a one_o you_o see_v be_v coincident_a into_o the_o same_o conceit_n with_o their_o diffusion_n and_o compaction_n and_o from_o hence_o again_o it_o follow_v that_o they_o be_v more_o easy_o divide_v in_o great_a and_o likewise_o that_o they_o be_v by_o the_o force_n of_o natural_a agent_n divisible_a into_o lesser_a part_n for_o both_o these_o that_o be_v facility_n of_o

this_o again_o follow_v that_o in_o rare_a body_n there_o be_v less_o resistance_n to_o the_o motion_n of_o a_o other_o body_n through_o it_o then_o in_o dense_a one_o and_o therefore_o a_o like_a force_n pass_v more_o easy_o through_o the_o one_o then_o through_o the_o other_o again_o rare_a body_n be_v more_o penetrative_a and_o active_a then_o dense_a one_o because_o be_v by_o their_o overproportion_n of_o quantity_n easy_o divisible_a into_o small_a part_n they_o can_v run_v into_o every_o little_a poor_a and_o so_o incorporate_v themselves_o better_o into_o other_o body_n then_o more_o dense_a one_o can_v light_a body_n likewise_o must_v be_v rare_a because_o most_o divisible_a if_o other_o circumstance_n concur_v equal_o thus_o you_o see_v decipher_v unto_o your_o hand_n the_o first_o division_n of_o body_n flow_v from_o quantity_n as_o it_o be_v ordain_v to_o substance_n for_o the_o composition_n of_o a_o body_n for_o since_o the_o definition_n of_o a_o body_n be_v

that_o the_o essence_n of_o rarity_n and_o density_n stand_v in_o the_o proportion_n of_o quantity_n to_o substance_n if_o we_o believe_v aristotle_n the_o great_a master_n that_o ever_o be_v of_o

aristotle_n who_o definition_n be_v in_o these_o matter_n general_o receive_v as_o full_o express_v the_o notion_n of_o mankind_n tell_v we_o and_o our_o own_o experience_n confirm_v it_o that_o we_o

we_o have_v find_v two_o more_o quality_n than_o we_o yet_o have_v meet_v withal_o namely_o wettenesse_n and_o dryness_n for_o although_o a_o body_n be_v dense_a which_o of_o its_o own_o nature_n

though_o not_o in_o the_o eminent_a degree_n that_o may_v be_v of_o fluidity_n and_o moisture_n by_o reason_n that_o if_o the_o like_a overproportion_n of_o gravity_n happen_v in_o a_o rare_a body_n it_o will_v there_o more_o powerful_o work_v its_o effect_n than_o it_o can_v in_o a_o dense_a body_n because_o a_o rare_a body_n will_v more_o easy_o obey_v and_o yield_v to_o the_o gravity_n that_o

it_o happen_v that_o the_o rarity_n overcome_v the_o gravity_n body_n than_o the_o gravity_n will_v not_o change_v the_o figure_n of_o a_o body_n so_o proportion_v but_o what_o figure_n it_o have_v from_o its_o proper_a natural_a cause_n the_o same_o will_v still_o remain_v with_o it_o and_o consequent_o such_o a_o body_n will_v have_v term_n of_o its_o own_o and_o will_v not_o require_v a_o ambient_fw-la body_n to_o limit_n and_o circle_v it_o in_o which_o nature_n we_o call_v dry_a but_o if_o the_o proportion_n of_o the_o gravity_n be_v the_o great_a and_o do_v overcome_v the_o rarity_n then_o by_o how_o much_o the_o rarity_n be_v great_a so_o much_o the_o more_o will_v the_o gravity_n force_v it_o to_o apply_v itself_o equal_o and_o on_o all_o side_n to_o the_o centre_n and_o such_o a_o body_n will_v the_o more_o easy_o receive_v its_o figure_n from_o a_o other_o and_o will_v be_v less_o able_a to_o consist_v of_o itself_o which_o property_n we_o attribute_v to_o wettenesse_n or_o moisture_n so_o that_o it_o appear_v how_o the_o quality_n of_o wet_a and_o dry_a which_o first_o we_o find_v in_o thing_n that_o be_v dense_a be_v also_o common_a to_o that_o nature_n of_o

we_o discover_v four_o different_a sort_n some_o dense_a one_o that_o be_v dry_a and_o other_o likewise_o dense_a that_o be_v moist_a then_o again_o some_o rare_a one_o that_o be_v likewise_o moist_a and_o other_o rare_a one_o that_o be_v dry_a but_o we_o must_v not_o rest_v here_o let_v we_o proceed_v a_o little_a further_o to_o search_v what_o other_o property_n these_o four_o kind_n of_o body_n

to_o miss_v light_n than_o they_o do_v to_o be_v every_o where_o mingle_v with_o light_n though_o we_o see_v nothing_o but_o light_n and_o can_v not_o discern_v any_o breach_n or_o division_n of_o

of_o all_o know_a body_n be_v of_o its_o own_o nature_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o divisibility_n that_o follow_v rarity_n divisible_a into_o lesser_a part_n then_o any_o other_o and_o particular_o then_o flame_n which_o be_v mix_v with_o smoke_n and_o other_o corpulency_n fall_v very_o short_a of_o light_n and_o this_o to_o the_o proportion_n in_o which_o it_o be_v more_o rare_a than_o the_o

must_v agree_v that_o it_o be_v by_o the_o nature_n of_o quantity_n which_o work_v as_o much_o in_o heterogeneal_a part_n as_o it_o do_v in_o homogeneal_a one_o and_o it_o must_v needs_o do_v so_o because_o rarity_n and_o density_n which_o be_v the_o proper_a difference_n of_o quantity_n can_v not_o change_v the_o common_a nature_n of_o quantity_n that_o be_v their_o genus_fw-la which_o by_o

conceive_v to_o touch_v a_o other_o as_o for_o example_n when_o a_o stone_n lie_v upon_o a_o stone_n must_v of_o necessity_n be_v either_o plane_n or_o concave_a or_o convexe_v now_o if_o a_o plane_n

among_o body_n it_o be_v not_o to_o touch_v and_o so_o one_o such_o surface_n do_v not_o touch_v the_o other_o now_o for_o a_o plain_a surface_n to_o touch_v a_o concave_n every_o man_n see_v be_v

not_o to_o be_v a_o physical_a touch_v and_o if_o a_o convexe_n surface_n shall_v be_v say_v to_o touch_v a_o concave_n they_o must_v touch_v all_o at_o once_o as_o we_o say_v of_o plane_n surface_v and_o therefore_o the_o same_o impossibility_n will_v arise_v therein_o so_o that_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o no_o two_o surface_n move_v perpendicular_o towards_o one_o a_o other_o can_v come_v to_o

of_o what_o we_o have_v say_v above_o for_o see_v that_o the_o bend_n of_o a_o body_n make_v the_o spirit_n or_o humour_n that_o be_v within_o it_o to_o sally_v forth_o it_o be_v clear_a that_o if_o

some_o remember_v what_o we_o have_v say_v in_o a_o other_o place_n body_n namely_o that_o it_o be_v the_o shortenesse_n and_o littleness_n of_o the_o humid_a part_n in_o a_o body_n which_o make_v

their_o resistance_n can_v be_v all_o the_o question_n be_v how_o to_o apply_v it_o to_o work_v its_o effect_n upon_o so_o close_a a_o compact_a body_n in_o which_o peradventure_o the_o continuity_n of_o the_o humid_a part_n that_o bind_v the_o other_o together_o may_v be_v so_o small_a as_o no_o other_o body_n whatsoever_o no_o not_o fire_n can_v go_v between_o they_o in_o such_o sort_n as_o to_o separate_v part_n from_o part_n att_n the_o worst_a it_o can_v not_o be_v doubt_v but_o that_o the_o force_n may_v be_v so_o apply_v at_o the_o outside_n of_o that_o body_n as_o to_o make_v the_o

apart_o by_o itself_o first_o for_o the_o asbestus_n it_o be_v clear_a that_o it_o be_v of_o a_o very_a dry_a substance_n so_o that_o to_o look_v upon_o it_o when_o it_o be_v break_v into_o very_o

bring_v no_o detriment_n at_o all_o to_o the_o substance_n of_o it_o in_o this_o i_o speak_v only_o of_o a_o ordinary_a fire_n for_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o such_o a_o one_o it_o may_v be_v it_o as_o

we_o may_v remember_v how_o in_o the_o close_a of_o the_o four_o we_o remit_v a_o question_n concern_v the_o existence_n of_o the_o element_n that_o be_v whether_o in_o any_o place_n of_o the_o

that_o in_o the_o make_v a_o bag_n of_o a_o long_a napkin_n if_o the_o napkin_n be_v sow_v together_o longwise_o it_o hold_v a_o great_a deal_n less_o than_o if_o it_o be_v sow_v together_o broadwise_o by_o this_o we_o see_v plain_o that_o if_o any_o body_n which_o be_v in_o a_o thick_a and_o short_a figure_n be_v force_v into_o a_o thin_a which_o by_o become_v thin_a must_v likewise_o

physical_a outside_n or_o material_a part_n of_o a_o solid_a body_n not_o a_o mathematical_a consideration_n of_o a_o indivisible_a entity_n we_o see_v also_o that_o this_o change_n of_o figure_n happen_v in_o the_o bend_n of_o all_o those_o body_n whereof_o we_o be_v now_o inquire_v the_o reason_n why_o some_o of_o they_o restore_v themselves_o to_o their_o original_a figure_n and_o other_o stand_v as_o they_o be_v bend_v then_o to_o begin_v with_o the_o latter_a sort_n we_o find_v that_o they_o be_v of_o a_o moist_a nature_n as_o among_o metal_n lead_v and_o tin_n and_o among_o other_o body_n those_o which_o we_o account_v soft_a and_o we_o may_v determine_v that_o this_o effect_n proceed_v partly_o from_o the_o humidity_n of_o the_o body_n that_o stand_v bend_v and_o partly_o from_o a_o dryness_n peculiar_a to_o it_o that_o comprehend_v and_o fix_v the_o humidity_n of_o it_o for_o by_o the_o first_o they_o be_v render_v capable_a of_o be_v drive_v into_o any_o figure_n which_o nature_n or_o art_n desire_v and_o by_o the_o second_o they_o be_v preserve_v from_o have_v their_o gravity_n put_v they_o out_o of_o what_o figure_n they_o have_v once_o receive_v but_o because_o these_o two_o condition_n be_v common_a to_o all_o solid_a body_n we_o may_v conclude_v that_o if_o no_o other_o circumstance_n concur_v the_o effect_n arise_v out_o of_o they_o will_v likewise_o be_v common_a to_o all_o such_o and_o therefore_o where_o we_o find_v it_o otherwise_o we_o must_v seek_v further_o for_o a_o cause_n of_o that_o transgression_n as_o for_o example_n if_o you_o bend_v the_o body_n of_o young_a tree_n or_o the_o branch_n of_o other_o they_o will_v return_v to_o their_o due_a figure_n it_o be_v true_a they_o will_v sometime_o lean_v towards_o that_o

hedgerowe_n will_v all_o bend_v one_o way_n in_o some_o country_n where_o some_o one_o wind_n have_v a_o main_a predominance_n and_o reign_v most_o continual_o as_o near_o the_o seashore_n upon_o the_o western_a coast_n of_o england_n where_o the_o south-west_n wind_n blow_v constant_o the_o great_a part_n of_o the_o year_n may_v be_v observe_v but_o this_o effect_n proceed_v from_o a_o

rather_o stark_o abound_v more_o in_o they_o then_o in_o the_o other_o that_o stand_v as_o they_o be_v bend_v at_o the_o least_o in_o proportion_n to_o their_o nature_n but_o i_o conceive_v this_o be_v not_o the_o cause_n of_o the_o effect_n we_o inquire_v about_o but_o that_o it_o be_v a_o subtle_a spirit_n which_o have_v a_o great_a proportion_n of_o fire_n in_o it_o for_o as_o in_o rarefaction_n we_o find_v that_o fire_n which_o be_v either_o within_o or_o without_o the_o body_n to_o be_v rarify_v do_v cause_v the_o rarefaction_n either_o by_o enter_v into_o it_o or_o by_o work_v within_o it_o so_o see_v here_o the_o question_n be_v for_o a_o body_n to_o go_v out_o of_o a_o lesser_a superficies_n into_o a_o great_a which_o be_v the_o progress_n of_o rarefaction_n and_o happen_v in_o the_o motion_n of_o restitution_n the_o work_n must_v needs_o be_v do_v by_o the_o force_n of_o heat_n and_o because_o this_o effect_n proceed_v evident_o out_o of_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n in_o which_o it_o be_v wrought_v and_o not_o from_o any_o outward_a cause_n we_o may_v conclude_v it_o have_v its_o origine_fw-la from_o a_o heat_n that_o be_v within_o the_o thing_n itself_o or_o else_o that_o be_v in_o it_o and_o may_v be_v press_v to_o the_o outward_a part_n of_o it_o and_o will_v sink_v into_o it_o again_o as_o for_o example_n when_o a_o young_a tree_n be_v bend_v both_o every_o man_n conceit_n be_v and_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n make_v we_o believe_v that_o the_o force_n which_o bring_v the_o tree_n back_o again_o to_o its_o figure_n come_v from_o the_o inner_a side_n that_o be_v bend_v which_o be_v compress_v together_o as_o be_v shrink_v into_o a_o circular_a figure_n from_o a_o straight_a one_o for_o when_o solid_a body_n that_o be_v plain_a on_o both_o side_n be_v bend_v so_o as_o on_o each_o side_n to_o make_v a_o portion_n of_o a_o circle_n the_o convexe_n superficies_n will_v be_v long_o than_o it_o be_v before_o when_o it_o be_v plain_a but_o the_o concave_n will_v be_v short_a and_o therefore_o we_o may_v conceive_v that_o the_o spirit_n which_o be_v in_o the_o contract_a part_n be_v there_o squeeze_v into_o less_o room_n than_o their_o nature_n well_o brook_v do_v work_v themselves_o into_o a_o great_a space_n or_o else_o that_o the_o spirit_n which_o be_v crush_v out_o of_o the_o convexe_n side_n by_o the_o extension_n of_o it_o but_o do_v remain_v besiege_v it_o and_o do_v strive_v to_o get_v in_o again_o in_o such_o manner_n as_o we_o have_v declare_v when_o we_o speak_v of_o attraction_n wherein_o we_o show_v how_o the_o emit_v spirit_n of_o any_o body_n will_v move_v to_o their_o own_o source_n and_o settle_v again_o in_o it_o if_o they_o be_v within_o a_o convenient_a compass_n and_o according_o do_v bring_v back_o the_o extend_a part_n to_o their_o former_a situation_n or_o rather_o that_o both_o these_o cause_n do_v in_o their_o kind_n concur_v to_o drive_v the_o tree_n into_o its_o natural_a figure_n entire_o but_o as_o we_o see_v when_o a_o stick_n be_v break_v it_o be_v very_o hard_a to_o replace_v all_o the_o splinter_n every_o one_o in_o its_o proper_a situation_n so_o it_o must_v of_o necessity_n fall_v out_o in_o this_o bend_n that_o certain_a insensible_a part_n both_o inward_a and_o outward_a be_v thereby_o displace_v and_o can_v hardly_o be_v perfect_o rejoint_v whence_o it_o follow_v that_o as_o you_o see_v the_o splinter_n of_o a_o half_a break_a stick_n meet_v with_o one_o a_o other_o do_v hold_v the_o stick_n somewhat_o crooked_a so_o these_o invisible_a part_n do_v the_o like_a in_o such_o body_n as_o after_o bend_v stand_v a_o little_a that_o way_n but_o because_o they_o be_v very_o little_a one_o the_o tree_n or_o the_o branch_n that_o

since_o the_o force_n and_o vigour_n of_o this_o verticity_n be_v in_o the_o end_n that_o stand_v downwards_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o this_o effect_n proceed_v out_o of_o a_o influence_n receive_v

into_o it_o if_o a_o magnetike_a body_n lie_v north_n and_o south_n it_o be_v easy_a and_o obvious_a to_o conceive_v that_o the_o stream_n come_v from_o north_n and_o south_n of_o the_o world_n and_o

att_z which_o they_o make_v their_o chief_a issue_n the_o reason_n of_o the_o first_o part_n of_o this_o position_n be_v because_o no_o particular_a body_n can_v be_v exempt_a from_o the_o law_n of_o all_o body_n and_o we_o have_v above_o declare_v that_o every_o physical_a body_n must_v of_o necessity_n have_v a_o orb_n of_o fluour_n or_o a_o sphere_n of_o activity_n about_o it_o the_o reason_n

of_o both_o sort_n in_o every_o part_n how_o little_o soever_o it_o be_v where_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o loadestone_n reside_v the_o reason_n of_o the_o three_o part_n be_v that_o because_o the_o polar_n emanation_n do_v tend_v whole_o towards_o the_o pole_n each_o of_o they_o to_o their_o proper_a pole_n it_o follow_v that_o in_o every_o hemisphere_n both_o those_o which_o come_v from_o the_o

be_v strong_a in_o that_o kind_n of_o fluour_n than_o the_o opposite_a end_n be_v all_o which_o appear_v true_a in_o experience_n for_o if_o a_o long_a iron_n touch_v any_o part_n of_o that_o

but_o hang_v close_o over_o it_o and_o this_o may_v be_v confirm_v by_o a_o like_a experience_n of_o a_o iron_n bar_v in_o respect_n of_o the_o earth_n which_o hang_v downwards_o in_o any_o part_n of_o our_o hemisphere_n be_v imbue_v with_o the_o like_a inclination_n of_o draw_v towards_o the_o north_n loadestone_n the_o six_o position_n be_v that_o although_o every_o part_n of_o one_o loadestone_n do_v in_o itself_o agree_v with_o every_o part_n of_o a_o other_o loadestone_n that_o be_v if_o each_o of_o these_o part_n be_v divide_v from_o their_o whole_n and_o each_o of_o they_o

of_o the_o contrary_a hemisphere_n of_o the_o other_o loadestone_n the_o reason_n of_o this_o be_v because_o the_o fluour_n which_o issue_n out_o of_o the_o stone_n be_v in_o certain_a different_a degree_n in_o several_a part_n of_o the_o entire_a loadestone_n whereby_o it_o happen_v that_o one_o loadestone_n can_v work_v by_o a_o determinate_a part_n of_o itself_o most_o powerful_o upon_o

the_o contrary_a disposition_n unto_o the_o end_n which_o be_v near_a it_o the_o next_o question_n be_v why_o a_o loadestone_n seem_v to_o love_v iron_n better_o than_o it_o do_v a_o other_o loadestone_n other_o the_o answer_n be_v because_o iron_n be_v indifferent_a in_o all_o its_o part_n to_o receive_v the_o impression_n of_o a_o loadestone_n whereas_o a_o other_o loadestone_n receive_v it_o only_o in_o a_o determinate_a part_n and_o therefore_o a_o loadestone_n draw_v iron_n more_o easy_o than_o it_o can_v a_o other_o loadestone_n because_o it_o find_v repugnance_n in_o the_o part_n of_o a_o other_o loadestone_n unless_o it_o be_v exact_o situate_v in_o a_o right_a position_n beside_o iron_n seem_v to_o be_v compare_v to_o a_o loadestone_n like_v as_o a_o more_o

all_o upon_o one_o string_n and_o in_o my_o conceit_n neither_o gilbert_n nor_o galileo_n have_v hit_v upon_o the_o right_n as_o for_o gilbert_n he_o think_v that_o in_o iron_n there_o be_v original_o

the_o virtue_n of_o both_o join_v together_o be_v great_a than_o the_o virtue_n of_o the_o loadestone_n alone_o but_o if_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n the_o virtue_n of_o the_o iron_n will_v be_v

the_o further_a iron_n which_o must_v of_o necessity_n have_v less_o virtue_n refute_v galileo_n yield_v the_o cause_n of_o this_o effect_n that_o when_o a_o iron_n touch_v a_o iron_n there_o be_v more_o part_n which_o touch_v one_o a_o other_o then_o when_o a_o loadestone_n touch_v the_o iron_n both_o because_o the_o loadestone_n have_v general_o much_o impurity_n in_o it_o and_o therefore_o

a_o iron_n and_o then_o pluck_v away_o the_o iron_n the_o needle_n will_v leave_v the_o iron_n and_o stick_v to_o the_o stone_n but_o if_o you_o turn_v the_o needle_n the_o other_o way_n it_o will_v

this_o motion_n be_v effect_v we_o be_v to_o note_v that_o the_o hart_n have_v in_o the_o ventricle_n of_o it_o three_o sort_n of_o fiber_n the_o first_o go_v long_a way_n or_o be_v straight_o one_o on_o the_o side_n of_o the_o ventricle_n from_o the_o thick_a basis_n of_o the_o hart_n towards_o the_o little_a tip_n or_o cone_n of_o it_o the_o second_o go_v cross_a or_o roundwayes_o about_o the_o

hang_v loose_a at_o the_o cone_n now_o then_o the_o fiber_n be_v of_o the_o nature_n of_o such_o thing_n as_o will_v swell_v and_o grow_v thick_a by_o be_v moisten_v and_o consequent_o shrink_v up_o

it_o be_v perform_v by_o little_a and_o little_a for_o in_o it_o the_o hart_n be_v draw_v by_o violence_n from_o its_o natural_a position_n which_o must_v be_v as_o it_o be_v of_o all_o heavy_a

these_o motion_n be_v effect_v we_o be_v to_o consider_v how_o at_o the_o end_n of_o the_o systole_n the_o hart_n be_v void_v and_o cleanse_v of_o all_o the_o blood_n that_o be_v in_o it_o whence_o it_o follow_v that_o the_o weight_n of_o the_o blood_n which_o be_v in_o the_o auricle_n press_v upon_o the_o valuulas_n or_o door_n that_o open_a inward_n make_v its_o way_n by_o little_a and_o

the_o blood_n join_v to_o the_o weight_n of_o the_o hart_n itself_o and_o particular_o of_o the_o conus_fw-la or_o tip_n which_o be_v more_o solid_a and_o heavy_a in_o proportion_n to_o its_o

perform_v by_o a_o lively_a jerk_n whereby_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o the_o tip_n of_o our_o hart_n do_v as_o it_o be_v spring_v up_o towards_o our_o breast_n and_o the_o blood_n be_v spurt_v out_o by_o other_o voluulae_fw-la that_o open_a outwards_n which_o be_v apt_o dispose_v to_o be_v open_v upon_o such_o a_o motion_n and_o do_v convey_v it_o to_o the_o artery_n in_o the_o course_n of_o which_o motion_n we_o may_v note_v how_o the_o figure_n of_o our_o hart_n contribute_v to_o its_o spring_v up_o towards_o our_o breast_n for_o the_o line_n of_o distance_n which_o be_v between_o

the_o hart_n shut_v and_o straighten_v itself_o and_o thereby_o extend_v itself_o to_o its_o length_n the_o tip_n will_v butt_n out_o forewardes_o towards_o the_o breast_n against_o this_o doctrine_n of_o the_o motion_n doctrine_n and_o of_o the_o systole_n and_o diastole_n of_o the_o hart_n it_o may_v be_v object_v that_o beast_n heart_n do_v not_o hang_v like_o a_o man_n hart_n straight_o

in_o for_o a_o pretty_a while_n without_o any_o extreme_a prejudice_n but_o these_o difficulty_n be_v easy_o answer_v for_o whether_o beast_n heart_n do_v lie_v direct_o horizontal_o or_o whither_o the_o basis_n be_v fasten_v some_o what_o high_a than_o the_o tip_n reach_v and_o so_o make_v their_o hart_n hang_v incline_v downwards_o still_o the_o motion_n of_o gravity_n have_v its_o effect_n in_o they_o as_o we_o may_v perceive_v in_o the_o hart_n of_o a_o viper_n lie_v upon_o a_o plate_n and_o in_o any_o other_o thing_n that_o of_o itself_o swell_v up_o and_o straight_o again_o sink_v down_o in_o which_o we_o can_v not_o doubt_v but_o that_o the_o gravity_n fight_v against_o the_o heat_n make_v the_o elevate_v part_n to_o fall_v as_o the_o heat_n make_v they_o rise_v and_o as_o for_o the_o latter_a it_o be_v evident_a that_o man_n can_v not_o stay_v long_o in_o that_o posture_n without_o violent_a accident_n and_o in_o any_o little_a while_n we_o see_v that_o the_o blood_n

in_o too_o great_a abundance_n into_o place_n that_o can_v not_o with_o conveniency_n entertain_v it_o but_o you_o will_v insist_v and_o ask_v whether_o in_o that_o posture_n the_o hart_n do_v move_v or_o no_o and_o how_o and_o to_o speak_v by_o guess_n in_o a_o thing_n i_o have_v not_o yet_o make_v experience_n enough_o to_o be_v thorough_o inform_v in_o i_o conceive_v without_o any_o great_a scruple_n that_o it_o do_v move_v and_o that_o it_o happen_v thus_o that_o the_o hart_n hang_v somewhat_o loose_a must_v needs_o tumble_v over_o and_o the_o tip_n of_o it_o lean_a downwards_o some_o way_n or_o other_o and_o so_o lie_v in_o part_n like_o the_o hart_n of_o a_o beast_n though_o not_o so_o convenient_o accommodate_v and_o then_o the_o heat_n which_o make_v the_o viscous_a blood_n that_o be_v in_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o hart_n to_o ferment_n will_v not_o fail_v of_o raise_v it_o up_o whereupon_o the_o weight_n of_o that_o side_n of_o the_o hart_n that_o be_v lift_v up_o will_v present_o press_v it_o down_o again_o and_o thus_o by_o the_o alternative_a operation_n of_o these_o cause_n the_o hart_n will_v be_v make_v to_o open_v and_o shut_v itself_o as_o much_o as_o be_v necessary_a for_o admit_v and_o thrust_v out_o that_o little_a and_o disorderly_o come_v blood_n which_o make_v its_o course_n through_o it_o for_o that_o little_a space_n wherein_o the_o man_n

be_v suppose_v as_o great_a as_o the_o part_n for_o be_v they_o never_o so_o large_a the_o corner_n of_o the_o thick_a part_n they_o belong_v unto_o must_v needs_o break_v the_o course_n of_o what_o will_v not_o bow_v but_o go_v all_o in_o straight_a line_n more_o than_o if_o the_o part_n and_o pore_n be_v both_o lesser_a since_o for_o so_o subtle_a a_o pierce_a as_o light_v no_o pore_n can_v be_v too_o little_a to_o give_v it_o entrance_n it_o be_v true_a such_o great_a one_o will_v better_o admit_v a_o liquid_a body_n into_o they_o such_o a_o one_o as_o water_n or_o air_n but_o the_o reason_n of_o that_o be_v because_o they_o will_v bow_v and_o take_v any_o ply_v to_o creep_v into_o those_o cavity_n if_o they_o be_v large_a enough_o which_o light_n will_v not_o do_v therefore_o it_o be_v clear_a that_o freedom_n of_o passage_n can_v happen_v unto_o light_n only_o there_o where_o there_o be_v a_o extreme_a great_a multitude_n of_o pore_n and_o part_n in_o a_o very_a little_a quantity_n or_o bulk_n of_o body_n which_o pore_n and_o part_n must_v consequent_o be_v extreme_a little_a one_o for_o by_o reason_n of_o their_o multitude_n there_o must_v be_v great_a variety_n in_o their_o situation_n from_o whence_o it_o will_v happen_v that_o many_o line_n must_v be_v all_o of_o pore_n quite_o through_o and_o many_o other_o all_o of_o part_n although_o the_o most_o will_v be_v mix_v of_o both_o pore_n and_o part_n and_o so_o we_o see_v that_o although_o the_o light_n do_v pass_v quite_o through_o in_o many_o place_n yet_o it_o reflect_v from_o more_o not_o only_o in_o the_o superficies_n but_o in_o the_o very_a body_n itself_o of_o the_o diaphanous_a substance_n but_o in_o a_o other_o substance_n of_o great_a part_n and_o pore_n there_o can_v be_v but_o few_o whole_a line_n of_o pore_n by_o which_o the_o light_n may_v pass_v from_o the_o object_n to_o make_v it_o be_v see_v and_o consequent_o it_o must_v be_v opacous_a which_o be_v the_o contrary_a of_o

intervene_v between_o they_o body_n now_o if_o we_o consider_v the_o generation_n of_o these_o two_o colour_n white_a and_o black_a in_o body_n we_o shall_v find_v that_o likewise_o to_o justify_v

and_o consequent_o if_o we_o can_v find_v the_o soul_n be_v to_o be_v without_o part_n and_o that_o her_o operation_n be_v no_o local_a translation_n we_o evident_o conclude_v she_o to_o be_v a_o

that_o diverse_a part_n of_o the_o essence_n be_v in_o diverse_a part_n of_o the_o brain_n than_o you_o make_v it_o impossible_a that_o the_o notion_n of_o ten_o shall_v be_v indivisible_a since_o itself_o be_v compose_v of_o several_a part_n in_o a_o word_n ten_o thing_n can_v not_o be_v represent_v material_o but_o by_o ten_o other_o thing_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v most_o evident_a that_o the_o soul_n which_o represent_v ten_o by_o one_o thing_n or_o notion_n do_v not_o represent_v the_o ten_o material_o and_o consequent_o that_o herself_o be_v immaterial_a what_o we_o have_v now_o

destroy_v the_o essence_n of_o the_o notion_n nay_o thing_n which_o in_o themselves_o be_v many_o and_o consist_v in_o part_n do_v in_o the_o mind_n get_v a_o impartible_a nature_n for_o ten_o be_v no_o long_o ten_o if_o it_o be_v divide_v nor_o all_o be_v all_o if_o any_o thing_n be_v take_v away_o in_o the_o same_o manner_n though_o philosophy_n teach_v we_o there_o be_v neither_o point_n in_o

upon_o indivisibility_n and_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o we_o attribute_v the_o nature_n of_o substance_n to_o all_o our_o notion_n if_o we_o see_v a_o thing_n white_a or_o black_a or_o do_v or_o suffer_v or_o be_v in_o a_o place_n or_o in_o time_n present_o in_o our_o apprehension_n we_o conceive_v these_o modification_n of_o the_o thing_n like_o substance_n and_o according_o we_o call_v

of_o this_o be_v evident_a in_o the_o image_n of_o the_o sound_n we_o call_v word_n for_o it_o be_v clear_a they_o have_v no_o likeness_n either_o with_o the_o thing_n they_o signify_v or_o with_o

a_o thing_n which_o make_v such_o a_o apprehension_n in_o his_o soul_n or_o such_o a_o phantasm_n in_o his_o interior_a sense_n and_o nevertheless_o as_o yet_o the_o man_n know_v not_o that_o he_o

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

we_o do_v none_o but_o that_o precise_a figure_n will_v serve_v or_o content_v we_o but_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o of_o a_o hundred_o different_a one_o any_o and_o every_o one_o do_v a_o like_a entire_o satisfy_v we_o when_o we_o call_v for_o money_n if_o we_o reflect_v upon_o our_o fancy_n peradventure_o we_o shall_v find_v there_o a_o purse_n of_o crown_n nevertheless_o if_o our_o

be_v in_o our_o fancy_n likewise_o in_o the_o very_a word_n which_o be_v the_o picture_n of_o our_o notion_n we_o see_v a_o indifferency_n for_o no_o dictionary_n will_v tell_v we_o that_o this_o

that_o our_o understanding_n or_o meaning_n be_v not_o fix_v or_o determine_v to_o any_o one_o particular_a but_o be_v equal_o indifferent_a to_o all_o and_o consequent_o that_o it_o can_v not_o be_v like_o any_o thing_n which_o enter_v by_o the_o sense_n and_o therefore_o not_o corporeal_a the_o second_o condition_n of_o universal_a apprehension_n be_v their_o universality_n same_o which_o add_v

they_o abstract_a from_o how_o be_v it_o possible_a that_o the_o same_o thing_n can_v be_v and_o not_o be_v in_o the_o same_o notion_n yet_o let_v a_o man_n consider_v what_o he_o mean_v when_o he_o

but_o if_o he_o can_v not_o let_v he_o acknowledge_v a_o eminent_a and_o singular_a propriety_n in_o the_o soul_n that_o be_v able_a to_o do_v it_o let_v we_o reflect_v that_o particularity_n in_o a_o

of_o such_o like_a condition_n conglobate_v together_o then_o if_o our_o soul_n be_v a_o body_n the_o expression_n of_o the_o particularity_n of_o a_o body_n in_o the_o soul_n must_v be_v a_o

and_o shall_v abstract_a from_o all_o colour_n all_o place_n and_o all_o those_o thing_n of_o which_o the_o conglobation_n consist_v and_o yet_o we_o see_v that_o in_o the_o soul_n this_o be_v do_v and_o he_o who_o say_v every_o man_n do_v not_o express_v any_o colour_n place_n or_o time_n and_o nevertheless_o he_o do_v by_o say_v so_o express_v that_o in_o every_o man_n there_o be_v a_o

be_v express_v in_o this_o term_n every_o one_o it_o will_v not_o be_v every_o one_o but_o only_o one_o alone_a now_o if_o any_o coordination_n of_o part_n can_v unfold_v and_o lay_v open_a this_o riddle_n i_o will_v renounce_v all_o philosophy_n and_o understanding_n same_o collective_a apprehension_n will_v afford_v we_o no_o mean_a testimony_n than_o the_o other_o two_o for_o the_o spirituality_n of_o our_o soul_n for_o although_o it_o may_v seem_v unto_o we_o before_o we_o reflect_v thorough_o on_o the_o matter_n that_o we_o see_v or_o otherwise_o discern_v by_o our_o sense_n the_o number_n of_o thing_n as_o that_o the_o man_n in_o the_o next_o room_n be_v three_o that_o the_o chair_n there_o be_v ten_o and_o the_o like_a of_o other_o thing_n yet_o after_o due_a consideration_n we_o shall_v find_v that_o our_o eye_n or_o sense_n tell_v we_o but_o single_o of_o each_o one_o that_o it_o be_v one_o and_o so_o run_v over_o every_o one_o of_o they_o keep_v they_o still_o each_o by_o themselves_o under_o their_o own_o several_a unity_n but_o then_o the_o understanding_n come_v and_o join_v under_o one_o notion_n what_o the_o sense_n keep_v a_o sunder_o in_o so_o many_o several_a one_o as_o there_o be_v thing_n the_o notion_n of_o three_o or_o of_o ten_o be_v not_o in_o the_o thing_n but_o in_o our_o mind_n for_o why_o three_o rather_o than_o five_o or_o ten_o rather_o than_o twelve_o if_o the_o matter_n of_o which_o we_o speak_v be_v not_o determine_v and_o such_o determination_n of_o the_o matter_n be_v a_o effect_n of_o the_o understanding_n if_o i_o have_v speak_v of_o thing_n as_o i_o do_v of_o man_n or_o of_o chair_n there_o have_v be_v more_o than_o three_o or_o ten_o it_o be_v then_o evident_a that_o what_o determine_v my_o speech_n make_v the_o number_n be_v three_o or_o ten_o again_o we_o see_v that_o the_o notion_n of_o ten_o be_v but_o one_o notion_n for_o as_o the_o name_n of_o ten_o be_v but_o one_o sign_n so_o it_o argue_v that_o there_o be_v but_o one_o notion_n by_o which_o it_o be_v the_o sign_n of_o ten_o thing_n beside_o we_o see_v that_o arithmetitian_n do_v find_v out_o the_o propriety_n and_o particular_a nature_n of_o any_o determinate_a number_n and_o therefore_o we_o may_v conclude_v that_o every_o number_n have_v a_o definition_n and_o a_o peculiar_a nature_n of_o its_o own_o as_o it_o be_v a_o number_n if_o then_o this_o definition_n or_o nature_n or_o notion_n of_o ten_o be_v a_o corporeal_a one_o it_o be_v a_o corporeal_a similitude_n of_o the_o object_n but_o be_v it_o like_v to_o any_o one_o of_o the_o thing_n or_o be_v it_o like_v to_o all_o the_o ten_o if_o to_o any_o one_o then_o that_o one_o will_v be_v ten_o if_o it_o be_v like_a to_o the_o whole_a make_v of_o ten_o than_o that_o whole_a be_v but_o one_o ten_o will_v be_v just_a one_o and_o not_o ten_o thing_n beside_o to_o be_v ten_o do_v express_o imply_v to_o be_v not_o one_o how_o then_o can_v that_o be_v a_o material_a thing_n which_o by_o be_v one_o represent_v many_o see_v that_o in_o material_a thing_n one_o and_o many_o be_v opposite_a and_o exclude_v one_o a_o other_o from_o the_o same_o subject_n and_o yet_o this_o notion_n can_v not_o represent_v many_o together_o but_o by_o be_v one_o again_o if_o it_o be_v a_o material_a notion_n or_o similitude_n it_o be_v either_o in_o a_o indivisible_a of_o the_o brain_n or_o it_o be_v in_o a_o divisible_a part_n of_o it_o i_o mean_v that_o the_o whole_a essence_n of_o the_o notion_n be_v in_o every_o part_n never_o so_o little_a of_o the_o brain_n
