consider_v further_o that_o as_o this_o superficies_n have_v in_o itself_o so_o the_o body_n enclose_v in_o it_o gain_v a_o certain_a determinate_a respect_n unto_o the_o stable_n and_o immoovable_a

then_o when_o one_o body_n divide_v a_o other_o get_v a_o new_a immediate_a clothing_n and_o consequent_o new_a respect_n to_o the_o stable_n and_o immoovable_a body_n or_o seem_v such_o that_o environ_v it_o we_o do_v vary_v in_o ourselves_o the_o notion_n we_o first_o have_v of_o that_o thing_n conceive_v it_o now_o accompany_v with_o other_o circumstance_n and_o other_o respect_n then_o

we_o call_v local_a motion_n to_o wit_n the_o depart_n of_o a_o body_n from_o that_o hollow_a superficies_n which_o enclose_v it_o and_o its_o change_v unto_o a_o other_o whereby_o it_o gain_v new_a

substance_n of_o local_a motion_n consist_v in_o division_n and_o that_o the_o alteration_n of_o locality_n follow_v division_n in_o such_o sort_n as_o become_v like_a or_o unlike_a of_o one_o wall_n to_o a_o other_o follow_v the_o action_n whereby_o one_o of_o they_o become_v white_a place_n and_o therefore_o in_o nature_n we_o be_v not_o to_o seek_v for_o any_o entity_n or_o special_a cause_n of_o apply_v the_o move_v body_n to_o a_o place_n as_o place_n which_o be_v but_o a_o respect_n consequent_a to_o the_o effect_n of_o division_n but_o only_a to_o consider_v what_o real_a and_o physical_a action_n unit_v it_o to_o that_o other_o body_n which_o be_v call_v its_o place_n and_o true_o serve_v for_o that_o effect_n and_o consequent_o they_o who_o think_v they_o have_v discover_v a_o notable_a subtlety_n by_o bring_v in_o a_o entity_n to_o unite_v a_o body_n to_o its_o place_n have_v strain_v beyond_o their_o strength_n and_o have_v grasp_v but_o a_o shadow_n which_o will_v appear_v yet_o more_o evident_a if_o they_o but_o mark_v well_o how_o nothing_o be_v divisible_a but_o what_o of_o itself_o abstract_v from_o division_n be_v one_o for_o the_o nature_n of_o division_n be_v the_o make_n of_o many_o which_o imply_v that_o what_o be_v to_o be_v divide_v must_v of_o necessity_n be_v not_o many_o before_o it_o be_v divide_v now_o quantity_n be_v the_o subject_n of_o division_n it_o be_v evident_a that_o pure_o of_o itself_o and_o without_o any_o force_n or_o adjoin_v help_n it_o must_v needs_o be_v one_o wheresoever_o some_o outward_a agent_n do_v not_o introduce_v multiplicity_n upon_o it_o and_o whensoever_o other_o thing_n work_v upon_o quantity_n as_o quantity_n it_o be_v not_o the_o nature_n and_o power_n of_o their_o operation_n to_o produce_v unity_n in_o it_o and_o make_v it_o one_o for_o it_o be_v already_o one_o but_o contrariwise_o the_o immediate_a necessary_a effect_n that_o flow_v from_o they_o in_o this_o case_n be_v to_o make_v one_o quantity_n many_o according_a to_o the_o circumstance_n that_o accompany_v the_o divider_n and_o that_o which_o be_v to_o be_v divide_v and_o therefore_o although_o we_o may_v seek_v cause_n why_o some_o one_o thing_n stick_v fast_a together_o than_o some_o other_o yet_o to_o ask_v absolute_o why_o a_o body_n stick_v together_o be_v prejudicial_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o quantity_n who_o essence_n be_v to_o have_v part_n stick_v together_o or_o rather_o to_o have_v such_o unity_n as_o without_o it_o all_o divisibility_n must_v be_v exclude_v out_o of_o which_o discourse_n it_o follow_v that_o in_o local_a motion_n we_o be_v to_o look_v only_o for_o a_o cause_n or_o power_n to_o divide_v but_o not_o for_o any_o to_o unite_v for_o the_o very_a nature_n of_o quantity_n unit_v any_o two_o part_n that_o be_v indistant_a from_o one_o a_o other_o without_o need_v any_o other_o cement_n to_o glue_v they_o together_o as_o we_o see_v the_o part_n of_o water_n and_o all_o liquid_a substance_n do_v present_o unite_v themselves_o to_o other_o part_n of_o like_a body_n when_o they_o meet_v with_o they_o and_o to_o solid_a body_n if_o they_o chance_v to_o be_v next_o unto_o they_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v vain_a to_o trouble_v our_o head_n with_o union_n and_o imaginary_a mood_n to_o unite_v a_o body_n to_o the_o place_n it_o be_v in_o when_o their_o own_o nature_n make_v they_o one_o as_o soon_o as_o they_o be_v immediate_a to_o each_o other_o and_o according_o if_o when_o we_o see_v a_o bowl_n move_v we_o will_v examine_v the_o cause_n of_o that_o motion_n we_o must_v consider_v the_o quantity_n of_o air_n or_o water_n it_o make_v to_o break_v from_o the_o part_n next_o unto_o it_o to_o give_v place_n unto_o itself_o and_o not_o speculate_v upon_o a_o

of_o air_n or_o water_n which_o it_o divide_v we_o may_v arrive_v to_o make_v a_o estimate_n of_o what_o force_n the_o bowl_n need_v to_o have_v for_o its_o motion_n thus_o have_v declare_v that_o the_o locality_n of_o motion_n motion_n be_v but_o a_o extrinsecall_a denomination_n and_o no_o reality_n in_o the_o thing_n move_v we_o may_v now_o cast_v a_o eye_n upon_o a_o vast_a consequence_n that_o may_v be_v deduce_v out_o of_o what_o we_o have_v hitherto_o say_v for_o if_o we_o consider_v the_o nature_n of_o a_o body_n that_o be_v that_o a_o body_n be_v a_o body_n by_o quantity_n and_o that_o the_o formal_a notion_n of_o quantity_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o divisibility_n and_o that_o the_o adequate_a act_n of_o divisibility_n be_v division_n it_o be_v evident_a there_o can_v be_v no_o other_o operation_n upon_o quantity_n nor_o by_o consequence_n among_o body_n but_o must_v either_o be_v such_o division_n as_o we_o have_v here_o explicate_v or_o what_o must_v necessary_o follow_v out_o of_o such_o division_n and_o division_n as_o we_o have_v even_o now_o explicate_v be_v local_a motion_n it_o be_v evident_a that_o all_o operation_n among_o body_n be_v either_o local_a motion_n or_o such_o as_o follow_v out_o of_o local_a motion_n which_o conclusion_n howsoever_o unexpected_a and_o may_v at_o the_o first_o hear_n appear_v a_o paradox_n will_v nevertheless_o by_o the_o ensue_a work_n receive_v such_o evidence_n as_o it_o can_v not_o be_v doubt_v of_o and_o that_o not_o only_o by_o force_n of_o argumentation_n and_o by_o necessity_n of_o notion_n as_o be_v already_o deduce_v but_o also_o by_o experience_n and_o by_o declaration_n of_o particular_n as_o they_o shall_v occur_v activity_n but_o now_o to_o apply_v what_o we_o have_v say_v to_o our_o propose_a subject_n it_o be_v obvious_a to_o every_o man_n that_o see_v the_o divider_n be_v the_o agent_n in_o division_n and_o in_o local_a motion_n and_o that_o dense_a body_n be_v by_o their_o nature_n divider_n the_o earth_n must_v in_o that_o regard_n be_v the_o most_o active_a among_o the_o element_n since_o it_o be_v the_o most_o dense_a of_o they_o all_o but_o this_o seem_v to_o be_v against_o the_o common_a judgement_n of_o all_o the_o searcher_n of_o nature_n who_o unanimous_o agree_v that_o fire_n be_v the_o most_o active_a element_n as_o also_o it_o seem_v to_o impugn_v what_o we_o ourselves_o have_v determine_v when_o we_o say_v there_o be_v two_o
they_o due_o which_o must_v be_v do_v by_o serious_a and_o continue_a reflection_n and_o not_o by_o cursary_n read_v or_o by_o interrupt_a attempt_n yet_o since_o we_o have_v still_o a_o whole_a field_n of_o proof_n untouched_a and_o that_o in_o so_o important_a a_o matter_n no_o evidence_n can_v be_v too_o clear_a nor_o any_o pain_n be_v account_v lose_v that_o may_v redouble_v the_o light_n although_o it_o shine_v already_o bright_a enough_o to_o discern_v what_o we_o seek_v we_o will_v make_v up_o the_o concert_n of_o unanimous_a testimony_n to_o this_o already_o establish_a truth_n by_o add_v those_o argument_n we_o shall_v collect_v out_o of_o the_o manner_n of_o our_o soul_n proceed_v to_o action_n unto_o the_o other_o we_o have_v draw_v from_o our_o observation_n upon_o her_o apprehension_n her_o judgement_n and_o her_o discourse_n look_v then_o into_o this_o matter_n the_o first_o consideration_n we_o meet_v withal_o be_v that_o our_o understanding_n be_v in_o his_o own_o nature_n a_o orderer_n and_o that_o his_o proper_a work_n be_v to_o rank_n and_o put_v thing_n in_o order_n for_o if_o we_o reflect_v upon_o the_o work_n and_o art_n of_o man_n as_o a_o good_a life_n a_o commonwealth_n a_o army_n a_o house_n a_o garden_n all_o artefacte_n what_o be_v th●y_o but_o composition_n of_o well_o order_v part_n and_o in_o every_o kind_n we_o see_v that_o he_o be_v the_o master_n and_o the_o architect_n and_o be_v a_o account_v the_o wise_a and_o to_o have_v the_o best_a understanding_n who_o can_v best_o or_o most_o or_o further_o than_o his_o fellow_n set_v thing_n in_o order_n if_o then_o to_o this_o we_o join_v that_o quantity_n be_v a_o thing_n who_o nature_n consist_v in_o a_o capacity_n of_o have_v part_n and_o multitude_n and_o consequent_o be_v the_o subject_n of_o order_v and_o rank_v do_v it_o not_o evident_o follow_v that_o our_o soul_n compare_v to_o the_o whole_a mass_n of_o body_n and_o to_o the_o very_a nature_n of_o corporeity_n or_o quantity_n be_v as_o a_o proper_a agent_n to_o its_o proper_a matter_n to_o work_v upon_o which_o if_o it_o be_v it_o must_v necessary_o be_v of_o a_o noble_a strain_n and_o of_o a_o different_a and_o high_a nature_n than_o it_o and_o consequent_o can_v not_o be_v a_o body_n or_o be_v compose_v of_o quantity_n for_o have_v matter_n in_o itself_o what_o it_o expect_v and_o require_v from_o the_o agent_n it_o will_v not_o need_v the_o agent_n help_v but_o of_o itself_o it_o be_v fit_a to_o be_v a_o agent_n wherefore_o if_o the_o nature_n of_o corporeity_n or_o of_o body_n in_o its_o full_a latitude_n be_v to_o be_v order_v it_o follow_v that_o the_o thing_n who_o nature_n be_v to_o be_v a_o orderer_n must_v as_o it_o be_v such_o be_v not_o a_o body_n but_o of_o a_o superior_a nature_n and_o exceed_v a_o body_n which_o we_o express_v by_o call_v it_o a_o spiritual_a thing_n well_o then_o immaterial_a if_o the_o soul_n be_v a_o orderer_n two_o thing_n belong_v necessary_o unto_o she_o the_o one_o be_v that_o she_o have_v this_o order_n within_o herself_o the_o other_o be_v that_o she_o have_v power_n to_o communicate_v it_o unto_o such_o thing_n as_o be_v to_o be_v order_v the_o first_o she_o have_v by_o science_n of_o which_o enough_o already_o have_v be_v say_v towards_o prove_v our_o intent_n next_o that_o her_o nature_n be_v communicative_a of_o this_o order_n be_v evident_a out_o of_o her_o action_n and_o manner_n of_o work_v but_o whether_o of_o herself_o she_o be_v thus_o communicative_a or_o be_v so_o by_o her_o conjunction_n to_o the_o body_n she_o inform_v appear_v not_o from_o thence_o but_o where_o experience_n fall_v short_a reason_n supply_v and_o show_v we_o that_o of_o her_o own_o nature_n she_o be_v communicative_a of_o order_n for_o see_v that_o 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 ●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 prove_v that_o a_o soul_n in_o her_o own_o nature_n be_v the_o subject_n of_o a_o infinite_a knowledge_n and_o therefore_o be_v capable_a of_o have_v such_o a_o general_a comprehension_n as_o well_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 void_a of_o quantity_n but_o let_v i_o not_o be_v mistake_v in_o what_o i_o come_v from_o say_v as_o though_o my_o meaning_n be_v that_o the_o soul_n exercise_v this_o way_n of_o move_v herself_o and_o of_o order_v her_o action_n while_o she_o be_v in_o the_o body_n for_o how_o can_v she_o see_v she_o be_v never_o endue_v with_o complete_a knowledge_n requisite_a for_o any_o action_n never_o full_o comprehend_v all_o the_o circumstance_n of_o it_o but_o what_o i_o intend_v be_v that_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o soul_n consider_v in_o itself_o be_v such_o as_o have_v a_o capacity_n and_o may_v reach_v to_o this_o manner_n of_o work_v whence_o i_o infer_v that_o she_o be_v not_o a_o body_n but_o a_o spirit_n without_o determine_v whether_o she_o work_v thus_o in_o the_o body_n or_o out_o of_o it_o same_o that_o enquiry_n belong_v not_o to_o this_o place_n it_o will_v follow_v by_o and_o by_o but_o for_o the_o present_a have_v consider_v unto_o what_o kind_n of_o work_v the_o nature_n of_o the_o soul_n in_o abstract_n be_v capable_a of_o attain_v we_o will_v conclude_v this_o chapter_n with_o reflect_v upon_o those_o action_n of_o she_o which_o fall_v daily_o under_o our_o remark_n as_o be_v exercise_v in_o the_o body_n in_o all_o of_o they_o we_o may_v observe_v that_o she_o proceed_v with_o a_o certain_a universality_n and_o indifferency_n beyond_o the_o practice_n 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

that_o in_o fine_a she_o will_v be_v happy_a or_o miserable_a according_a as_o she_o have_v build_v up_o herself_o by_o her_o spiritual_a judgement_n and_o affection_n in_o this_o life_n if_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

will_v run_v as_o far_o as_o it_o meet_v with_o nothing_o to_o hinder_v it_o from_o attain_v this_o spherical_a superficies_n wherefore_o such_o body_n for_o the_o most_o part_n have_v no_o settle_a

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

be_v the_o nature_n of_o those_o that_o have_v a_o great_a proportion_n of_o density_n in_o respect_n of_o their_o gravity_n and_o thus_o out_o of_o the_o comparison_n of_o density_n with_o weight_n 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 single_o consider_v will_v preserve_v the_o continuity_n of_o its_o part_n as_o make_v the_o body_n hardly_o divisible_a whereby_o it_o will_v be_v dry_a yet_o if_o the_o gravity_n that_o work_v upon_o it_o be_v in_o proportion_n great_a than_o the_o density_n it_o will_v sever_v the_o part_n of_o it_o and_o make_v they_o run_v to_o the_o centre_n and_o so_o become_v fluid_n and_o moist_a 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 master_v it_o than_o a_o dense_n one_o will_n and_o consequent_o will_v be_v more_o fluid_n and_o moist_a than_o it_o now_o on_o the_o other_o side_n in_o weigh_v rarity_n against_o gravity_n if_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 body_n which_o we_o term_v rare_a and_o thus_o by_o our_o first_o inquiry_n after_o what_o kind_n of_o body_n do_v result_v out_o of_o the_o compound_v of_o rarity_n and_o density_n with_o gravity_n 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

will_v remain_v with_o its_o propriety_n and_o distinct_a limitation_n for_o so_o of_o necessity_n it_o must_v be_v when_o that_o which_o unit_v they_o to_o he_o be_v the_o compare_v of_o they_o to_o
