therefore_o the_o motion_n of_o atom_n be_v neither_o equal_a nor_o every_o where_o alike_o but_o they_o do_v vary_v according_a to_o the_o diversity_n of_o body_n whereby_o they_o be_v drive_v or_o

do_v fix_v they_o with_o the_o great_a or_o less_o violence_n chap._n xxi_o difficulty_n arise_v from_o the_o doctrine_n of_o atom_n the_o first_o which_o present_v itself_o be_v in_o relation_n to_o the_o be_v and_o nature_n of_o atom_n therefore_o it_o be_v hard_o to_o conceive_v that_o a_o atom_n be_v corporeal_a and_o material_a and_o at_o the_o same_o time_n that_o it_o be_v indivisible_a or_o that_o the_o same_o be_v indivisible_a shall_v at_o the_o same_o time_n have_v its_o grossness_n and_o extension_n but_o this_o difficulty_n proceed_v from_o nothing_o else_o but_o the_o

be_v a_o idea_n of_o a_o indivisible_a thing_n it_o be_v only_o our_o soul_n which_o be_v indivisible_a as_o well_o as_o a_o atom_n be_v able_a to_o conceive_v the_o nature_n of_o they_o which_o be_v elevate_v above_o the_o sense_n can_v correct_v the_o error_n of_o they_o therefore_o i_o say_v that_o a_o atom_n be_v not_o a_o body_n according_a to_o the_o notion_n which_o we_o have_v of_o it_o that_o it_o be_v a_o compound_n be_v but_o i_o affirm_v it_o to_o be_v a_o simple_a be_v and_o also_o corporeal_a that_o be_v to_o say_v simple_a because_o it_o be_v indivisible_a and_o corporeal_a because_o it_o have_v a_o certain_a extension_n and_o make_v up_o the_o composition_n of_o body_n which_o in_o the_o total_a division_n of_o they_o be_v reduce_v again_o into_o atom_n there_o be_v two_o other_o difficulty_n which_o do_v arise_v from_o the_o former_a for_o if_o a_o atom_n be_v indivisible_a after_o what_o manner_n can_v we_o propose_v to_o ourselves_o that_o it_o have_v

the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n extend_v for_o if_o the_o thing_n extend_v be_v divisible_a in_o the_o same_o manner_n be_v the_o extension_n and_o so_o on_o the_o other_o side_n so_o it_o be_v of_o the_o rational_a soul_n which_o be_v possess_v of_o the_o whole_a body_n and_o exercise_n its_o operation_n in_o all_o the_o part_n of_o it_o nevertheless_o it_o be_v like_o a_o atom_n indivisible_a
