as_o a_o pilot_n be_v in_o a_o ship_n who_o have_v bring_v it_o to_o shore_n leave_v it_o chap._n 2._o the_o soul_n be_v among_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v call_v principle_n have_v the_o special_a faculty_n of_o nutrition_n sense_n reason_n and_o local_a motion_n but_o there_o be_v doubt_n whether_o all_o these_o proceed_v from_o the_o whole_a soul_n or_o that_o they_o be_v separate_v part_n of_o it_o and_o if_o separate_v then_o whether_o in_o place_n or_o only_o in_o imagination_n the_o vegetative_a soul_n will_v act_v in_o slip_v and_o branch_n and_o enable_v they_o to_o grow_v but_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n seem_v to_o be_v of_o another_o sort_n and_o that_o this_o only_a be_v capable_a of_o a_o separation_n from_o the_o body_n as_o that_o which_o be_v eternal_a may_v be_v separate_v from_o that_o which_o be_v subject_a to_o corruption_n but_o all_o other_o part_n of_o the_o soul_n except_o that_o which_o be_v pure_o contemplative_a be_v inseparable_a from_o the_o

her_o body_n we_o may_v observe_v how_o wary_o or_o uncertain_o aristotle_n handle_v the_o separate_a subsistence_n of_o soul_n say_v first_o that_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n be_v the_o only_a sort_n that_o seem_v capable_a of_o it_o and_o that_o it_o do_v seem_v capable_a of_o a_o separate_a subsistence_n as_o a_o eternal_a be_v but_o this_o be_v speak_v without_o addition_n of_o reason_n or_o
