our_o idea_n and_o what_o we_o be_v the_o best_a acquaint_v with_o and_o so_o far_o as_o we_o perceive_v they_o distinct_a from_o one_o another_o separate_o exist_v or_o necessary_o connect_v our_o reason_n about_o they_o be_v the_o sure_a of_o any_o we_o have_v so_o that_o if_o we_o be_v mistake_v in_o these_o i_o can_v see_v how_o we_o have_v or_o be_v capable_a of_o have_v any_o knowledge_n at_o all_o solidity_n extension_n and_o figure_n i_o do_v not_o only_o perceive_v to_o be_v constant_o unite_v but_o necessary_o and_o inseparable_o to_o co-exist_a together_o in_o the_o same_o subject_a which_o i_o call_v matter_n or_o body_n so_o that_o wherever_o any_o one_o of_o these_o be_v find_v i_o certain_o conclude_v from_o thence_o that_o there_o be_v the_o other_o two_o also_o but_o it_o do_v not_o follow_v that_o where_o ever_o these_o three_o co-exist_a together_o there_o be_v motion_n perception_n or_o will_v there_o be_v no_o necessary_a connexion_n between_o any_o of_o these_o idea_n and_o the_o other_o idea_n of_o matter_n before_o mention_v as_o be_v plain_a not_o only_o from_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o idea_n themselves_o but_o from_o their_o separate_a existence_n actual_o perceive_v by_o we_o how_o then_o do_v matter_n which_o we_o suppose_v to_o exist_v without_o any_o motion_n perception_n or_o will_v come_v to_o have_v motion_n add_v to_o it_o all_o the_o motion_n we_o perceive_v in_o body_n without_o we_o be_v make_v by_o successive_a impulse_n from_o from_o one_o body_n to_o another_o where_o every_o portion_n of_o matter_n owe_v its_o motion_n to_o some_o other_o but_o this_o can_v help_v we_o to_o conceive_v how_o motion_n shall_v begin_v where_o every_o thing_n be_v at_o rest_n the_o only_a idea_n we_o receive_v from_o body_n in_o motion_n be_v that_o of_o a_o capacity_n of_o be_v move_v when_o it_o be_v at_o rest_n and_o not_o of_o a_o power_n of_o move_v its_o self_n this_o we_o have_v from_o what_o pass_v within_o we_o when_o without_o any_o external_a impulse_n upon_o we_o by_o a_o bare_a thought_n or_o determination_n of_o ourselves_o we_o begin_v a_o motion_n in_o our_o own_o body_n and_o by_o that_o mean_n communicate_v it_o to_o other_o which_o be_v before_o at_o rest_n which_o power_n of_o beginning_n motion_n we_o call_v will_v but_o matter_n be_v suppose_v to_o exist_v without_o perception_n and_o will_n and_o consequent_o without_o this_o power_n of_o beginning_n motion_n in_o its_o self_n and_o there_o be_v nothing_o else_o to_o communicate_v it_o to_o it_o it_o must_v eternal_o continue_v in_o the_o same_o state_n of_o union_n indistinction_n and_o rest_n there_o need_v no_o more_o for_o the_o overthrow_v this_o hypothesis_n no_o stress_n be_v ever_o lay_v upon_o it_o in_o the_o next_o place_n then_o if_o we_o imagine_v all_o the_o part_n of_o this_o material_a world_n loose_v from_o one_o another_o and_o all_o in_o motion_n it_o will_v be_v quite_o as_o irrational_a to_o think_v that_o so_o it_o must_v have_v be_v eternal_o and_o necessary_o till_o at_o some_o certain_a time_n the_o scatter_a move_a atom_n meet_v together_o or_o be_v dispose_v after_o such_o a_o manner_n as_o produce_v the_o present_a structure_n and_o constitution_n of_o thing_n many_o be_v the_o absurdity_n and_o inconsistency_n this_o opinion_n be_v chargeable_a with_o but_o i_o shall_v at_o present_a instance_n but_o in_o two_o the_o first_o be_v the_o suppose_v a_o eternal_a motion_n of_o different_a particle_n of_o matter_n before_o the_o production_n of_o the_o world_n which_o imply_v a_o infinite_a succession_n of_o effect_n without_o any_o cause_n to_o produce_v they_o for_o motion_n be_v something_o distinct_a from_o matter_n and_o separable_a from_o it_o do_v not_o necessary_o exist_v because_o matter_n exist_v for_o than_o it_o will_v always_o exist_v in_o every_o particle_n of_o matter_n nor_o do_v it_o exist_v of_o itself_o by_o a_o necessity_n independent_a of_o the_o necessity_n of_o matter_n be_v existence_n because_o it_o can_v exist_v without_o it_o and_o matter_n can_v not_o produce_v it_o in_o its_o self_n from_o all_o eternity_n because_o it_o can_v produce_v it_o at_o all_o and_o therefore_o there_o can_v be_v no_o such_o thing_n as_o eternal_a motion_n or_o succession_n of_o motion_n in_o different_a part_n of_o matter_n because_o every_o motion_n be_v a_o mere_a effect_n and_o passion_n and_o there_o be_v no_o active_a power_n any_o where_o assignable_a or_o conceivable_a that_o can_v produce_v or_o cause_v such_o a_o effect_n so_o that_o to_o suppose_v a_o eternal_a motion_n without_o a_o eternal_a power_n of_o move_v be_v one_o very_o great_a absurdity_n those_o be_v guilty_a of_o that_o set_v up_o the_o hypothesis_n of_o

in_o their_o own_o nature_n as_o utter_o distinct_a from_o those_o of_o extension_n figure_n and_o motion_n as_o figure_n and_o motion_n be_v from_o one_o another_o or_o from_o any_o other_o idea_n we_o perceive_v that_o these_o last_o may_v be_v where_o the_o other_o be_v not_o be_v plain_a how_o then_o do_v those_o other_o come_v to_o be_v add_v to_o they_o if_o matter_n at_o rest_n whatever_o

most_o ancient_a philosopher_n and_o learned_a man_n think_v they_o perceive_v such_o visible_a mark_n and_o token_n of_o the_o newness_n of_o the_o world_n in_o the_o rise_n propagation_n and_o

nature_n and_o distinction_n of_o these_o two_o kind_a of_o being_n as_o far_o as_o we_o be_v capable_a of_o perceive_v they_o that_o so_o i_o may_v cut_v off_o a_o great_a many_o dispute_n and_o

such_o connexion_n betwixt_o the_o idea_n of_o perception_n and_o will_n and_o those_o of_o extension_n figure_n and_o motion_n that_o wherever_o the_o former_a be_v there_o must_v the_o latter_a be_v also_o nor_o do_v i_o see_v any_o reason_n why_o perception_n and_o will_n may_v not_o exist_v separately_z from_o extension_n figure_n and_o motion_n as_o well_o as_o extension_n figure_n and_o motion_n may_v exist_v separately_z from_o perception_n and_o will_n only_o because_o these_o be_v actual_o perceive_v so_o to_o exist_v and_o we_o have_v not_o yet_o be_v actual_o conscious_a of_o such_o a_o separate_a existence_n of_o the_o other_o but_o this_o do_v not_o hinder_v but_o that_o perception_n and_o will_n may_v so_o exist_v and_o have_v a_o subject_a or_o substance_n of_o their_o own_o distinct_a from_o that_o which_o support_v these_o quality_n of_o extension_n figure_n and_o motion_n if_o think_v and_o will_v be_v common_a to_o every_o be_v we_o know_v we_o can_v no_o more_o

attribute_v to_o matter_n only_o but_o it_o be_v certain_a from_o a_o actual_a separation_n of_o these_o different_a idea_n perceivable_a in_o different_a subject_n that_o some_o of_o they_o may_v exist_v without_o the_o other_o though_o without_o this_o actual_a separation_n we_o can_v not_o have_v be_v so_o certain_a of_o it_o and_o therefore_o though_o the_o other_o have_v never_o yet_o be_v perceive_v to_o exist_v separately_z from_o these_o it_o do_v not_o follow_v from_o thence_o that_o they_o can_v so_o exist_v but_o consider_v the_o vast_a distance_n and_o distinction_n in_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o several_a idea_n without_o any_o conceivable_a resemblance_n or_o relation_n to_o one_o another_o it_o be_v very_o probable_a they_o do_v arise_v from_o different_a principle_n and_o be_v found_v in_o different_a subject_n however_o have_v no_o far_a certainty_n of_o it_o from_o natural_a reason_n and_o i_o purposely_o wave_v all_o other_o proof_n at_o present_a let_v we_o

without_o any_o colour_n of_o reason_n infer_v from_o hence_o that_o therefore_o perception_n and_o will_n be_v only_o different_a modification_n or_o disposition_n of_o extension_n figure_n and_o

different_a modes_n of_o perception_n and_o will_n i_o can_v see_v what_o ground_n they_o can_v have_v for_o the_o contrary_a of_o either_o of_o these_o who_o affirm_v what_o we_o call_v the_o mind_n or_o soul_n of_o man_n to_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o matter_n under_o a_o peculiar_a disposition_n of_o its_o part_n but_o that_o think_v and_o will_v upon_o a_o supposition_n that_o they_o

there_o be_v no_o conceive_n of_o motion_n without_o conceive_v at_o the_o same_o time_n something_o that_o be_v move_v and_o i_o can_v consider_v a_o thing_n as_o move_v without_o consider_v it_o as_o extend_v too_o and_o extension_n necessary_o imply_v the_o other_o essential_a property_n of_o matter_n but_o i_o can_v form_v a_o notion_n of_o perception_n and_o will_n and_o be_v conscious_a of_o something_o perceive_v and_o will_v without_o have_v any_o idea_n at_o the_o same_o time_n of_o solidity_n extension_n figure_n or_o motion_n and_o therefore_o if_o motion_n may_v be_v join_v to_o the_o other_o quality_n of_o matter_n without_o result_v from_o they_o though_o they_o be_v necessary_o imply_v in_o the_o idea_n we_o have_v of_o it_o it_o be_v much_o more_o probable_a that_o

therefore_o it_o think_v and_o will_n this_o be_v premise_v it_o plain_o appear_v from_o hence_o that_o it_o be_v much_o more_o probable_a in_o reason_n that_o god_n shall_v be_v the_o only_a eternal_a be_v than_o that_o matter_n any_o way_n consider_v shall_v be_v coeternal_a with_o he_o for_o the_o notion_n of_o god_n be_v full_a and_o complete_a without_o any_o consideration_n of_o

motion_n and_o form_v a_o infinite_a variety_n of_o being_n out_o of_o they_o be_v indeed_o a_o perfection_n very_o worthy_a of_o god_n and_o what_o we_o just_o attribute_v to_o he_o but_o the_o actual_a existence_n of_o any_o of_o these_o do_v no_o way_n heighten_v the_o idea_n we_o have_v of_o he_o who_o we_o conceive_v to_o be_v as_o perfect_v in_o himself_o before_o their_o existence_n as_o after_o it_o the_o actual_a communication_n of_o some_o of_o his_o perfection_n to_o a_o particular_a rank_n of_o his_o creature_n and_o the_o give_v they_o the_o use_v and_o enjoyment_n of_o his_o other_o work_n do_v raise_v a_o new_a idea_n of_o he_o in_o they_o which_o they_o call_v by_o the_o name_n of_o goodness_n but_o this_o they_o look_v upon_o only_a as_o a_o voluntary_a open_n and_o disclose_v the_o glory_n of_o his_o original_a nature_n and_o not_o a_o necessary_a additional_a advancement_n of_o it_o it_o be_v therefore_o most_o agreeable_a to_o our_o reason_n and_o all_o the_o notion_n we_o have_v of_o the_o divine_a nature_n that_o god_n shall_v have_v exi_v alone_o from_o all_o eternity_n and_o in_o time_n produce_v the_o world_n and_o all_o thing_n in_o it_o but_o
