whatsoever_o extension_n a_o body_n have_v the_o same_o be_v so_o necessary_a and_o essential_a to_o it_o that_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o it_o to_o be_v more_o or_o less_o extend_v when_o nevertheless_o a_o spirit_n may_v be_v more_o or_o less_o extend_v as_o they_o affirm_v and_o see_v to_o be_v movable_a and_o figurable_a be_v only_o consequential_a attribute_n of_o extension_n for_o that_o a_o spirit_n be_v far_o otherwise_o movable_a and_o figurable_a than_o a_o body_n because_o a_o spirit_n can_v move_v and_o form_v itself_o as_o a_o body_n can_v the_o same_o reason_n which_o be_v good_a against_o the_o one_o be_v good_a against_o the_o other_o also_o §_o 4._o but_o second_o how_o can_v they_o prove_v impenetrability_n be_v a_o essential_a attribute_n of_o body_n or_o that_o penetrability_n be_v a_o essential_a attribute_n of_o spirit_n why_o may_v not_o body_n be_v more_o or_o less_o impenetrable_a and_o spirit_n more_o or_o less_o penetrable_a as_o it_o may_v and_o indeed_o do_v happen_v in_o all_o other_o attribute_n for_o ex_fw-la gr_n some_o body_n may_v be_v more_o or_o less_o heavy_a or_o light_a condense_a or_o rarefy_v solid_a or_o liquid_a hot_a or_o cold_a then_o why_o may_v it_o not_o also_o be_v more_o or_o less_o penetrable_a or_o impenetrable_a if_o it_o be_v say_v that_o in_o all_o those_o other_o mutation_n we_o always_o observe_v that_o a_o body_n remain_v impenetrable_a as_o iron_n when_o it_o be_v heat_n red-hot_a yet_o remain_v still_o impenetrable_a i_o answer_v i_o grant_v it_o may_v remain_v impenetrable_a of_o any_o other_o body_n of_o equal_a thickness_n yet_o may_v and_o be_v entire_o penetrate_v of_o a_o more_o subtle_a body_n sc_n of_o the_o fire_n which_o have_v enter_v into_o it_o and_o penetrate_v all_o its_o part_n whereby_o it_o be_v make_v so_o soft_a and_o if_o the_o fire_n be_v strong_a begin_v whole_o to_o melt_v but_o if_o against_o this_o they_o object_n that_o the_o ingress_n of_o fire_n into_o the_o iron_n be_v not_o penetration_n in_o a_o philosophical_a sense_n nor_o as_o they_o understand_v it_o viz._n as_o though_o the_o fire_n and_o iron_n do_v possess_v but_o one_o place_n and_o so_o the_o one_o can_v be_v intrinsical_o present_a in_o the_o other_o because_o it_o be_v manifest_a to_o the_o contrary_a that_o iron_n if_o it_o be_v make_v candent_fw-la or_o glow_a hot_a it_o swell_v and_o acquire_v a_o great_a bulk_n than_o when_o it_o be_v cold_a and_o as_o it_o wax_v cold_a again_o it_o return_v to_o its_o former_a dimension_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v if_o they_o mean_v such_o a_o penetration_n which_o we_o call_v intrinseck_n presence_n viz._n that_o one_o homogeneal_a substance_n shall_v enter_v into_o another_o both_o be_v of_o equal_a dimension_n and_o yet_o the_o bulk_n or_o quantity_n not_o increase_v that_o seem_v whole_o irrational_a and_o it_o will_v be_v a_o mere_a impossibility_n and_o contradiction_n to_o grant_v such_o a_o intimate_a presence_n in_o creature_n which_o only_o agree_v unto_o god_n and_o christ_n as_o creator_n who_o prerogative_n it_o be_v to_o be_v intrinsical_o present_a in_o creature_n whereas_o no_o creature_n can_v have_v that_o intrinseck_n presence_n in_o its_o fellow_n creature_n because_o than_o it_o will_v cease_v to_o be_v a_o creature_n and_o obtain_v one_o of_o the_o incommunicable_a attribute_n of_o god_n and_o christ_n which_o be_v intrinseck_n presence_n this_o i_o say_v be_v primary_o to_o be_v attribute_v to_o god_n and_o secondary_o to_o christ_n in_o as_o much_o as_o he_o be_v medium_fw-la quid_fw-la or_o a_o certain_a medium_fw-la between_o god_n and_o creature_n and_o who_o as_o he_o be_v partaker_n of_o mutability_n and_o immutability_n of_o eternity_n and_o time_n so_o he_o may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v partaker_n of_o body_n and_o spirit_n and_o consequent_o of_o place_n and_o extension_n for_o in_o as_o much_o as_o his_o body_n be_v of_o another_o substance_n than_o the_o body_n of_o all_o other_o creature_n as_o of_o who_o he_o be_v the_o near_a beginning_n to_o god_n it_o may_v be_v true_o say_v he_o be_v intrinsical_o present_a in_o they_o and_o yet_o not_o so_o as_o to_o be_v confound_v with_o they_o for_o to_o suppose_v one_o creature_n intrinsical_o present_a in_o another_o so_o as_o to_o be_v mingle_v and_o most_o perfect_o unite_v with_o it_o and_o yet_o its_o quantity_n or_o extension_n not_o increase_v that_o confound_v the_o creature_n and_o make_v two_o or_o more_o to_o be_v but_o one_o yea_o according_a to_o this_o hypothesis_n it_o may_v be_v say_v the_o whole_a creation_n be_v reducible_a into_o the_o quantity_n of_o the_o least_o grain_n or_o dust_n because_o every_o part_n will_v be_v suppose_v to_o penetrate_v another_o and_o no_o great_a extension_n follow_v than_o of_o one_o part._n but_o if_o it_o be_v say_v that_o only_o prove_v that_o spirit_n may_v be_v reduce_v into_o so_o small_a a_o space_n but_o not_o body_n because_o body_n be_v impenetrable_a i_o answer_v this_o be_v but_o a_o beg_n of_o the_o question_n because_o they_o have_v not_o yet_o prove_v that_o body_n and_o spirit_n be_v distinct_a substance_n which_o unless_o they_o be_v it_o follow_v that_o one_o nature_n be_v not_o more_o penetrable_a than_o the_o other_o according_a to_o their_o sense_n and_o indeed_o it_o seem_v very_o consentaneous_a to_o reason_n that_o as_o time_n be_v each_o of_o they_o so_o extend_v into_o their_o due_a measure_n and_o extension_n that_o they_o can_v exceed_v those_o bound_n and_o so_o can_v be_v intrinsical_o present_a one_o with_o another_o as_o ex_fw-la gr_n the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n can_v be_v present_a with_o the_o second_o day_n of_o the_o same_o week_n nor_o the_o first_o hour_n of_o the_o day_n with_o the_o second_o neither_o be_v the_o first_o minute_n of_o a_o hour_n present_a with_o the_o second_o minute_n thereof_o because_o such_o be_v the_o nature_n and_o essence_n of_o time_n that_o it_o be_v successive_a and_o have_v part_n extra_fw-la part_n or_o part_n one_o without_o another_o when_o nevertheless_o god_n be_v real_o and_o intrinsical_o present_a in_o all_o time_n and_o be_v not_o change_v which_o can_v be_v say_v of_o the_o creature_n sc_n that_o that_o be_v present_a in_o all_o or_o more_o time_n and_o not_o change_v for_o the_o creature_n be_v perpetual_o change_v with_o time_n see_v time_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o the_o motion_n or_o change_n of_o the_o creature_n from_o one_o state_n or_o condition_n into_o another_o and_o as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o case_n of_o time_n and_o creature_n which_o be_v in_o time_n so_o also_o in_o the_o case_n of_o place_n bulk_n or_o quantity_n for_o as_o in_o god_n there_o be_v no_o time_n so_o also_o in_o he_o there_o be_v no_o bulk_n or_o corporeal_a quantity_n but_o in_o creature_n there_o be_v both_o time_n and_o corporeal_a quantity_n because_o otherwise_o they_o will_v be_v either_o god_n or_o nothing_o which_o be_v impossible_a for_o whatsoever_o quantity_n bulk_n or_o extension_n any_o creature_n have_v it_o retain_v the_o same_o as_o something_o which_o be_v of_o its_o own_o essence_n as_o it_o be_v the_o essence_n of_o time_n to_o consist_v of_o more_o part_n and_o those_o again_o of_o more_o and_o so_o ad_fw-la infinitum_fw-la for_o it_o may_v be_v easy_o conceive_v how_o a_o less_o time_n be_v in_o a_o great_a ex_fw-la gr_n how_o so_o many_o minute_n be_v in_o a_o hour_n and_o so_o many_o hour_n in_o a_o day_n and_o one_o hour_n do_v immediate_o touch_v the_o next_o but_o can_v be_v present_a in_o it_o the_o same_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v of_o the_o creature_n in_o regard_n of_o their_o quantity_n or_o bulk_n for_o indeed_o one_o creature_n may_v immediate_o touch_v another_o but_o can_v be_v present_a in_o all_o its_o part_n but_o only_o a_o less_o may_v be_v in_o a_o great_a and_o a_o subtle_a in_o a_o grosser_n and_o this_o be_v more_o proper_o penetration_n which_o agree_v to_o body_n as_o well_o as_o spirit_n as_o some_o body_n that_o be_v less_o gross_a may_v penetrate_v another_o that_o be_v more_o gross_a but_o two_o body_n of_o a_o equal_a thickness_n can_v penetrate_v each_o other_o the_o same_o may_v be_v say_v of_o spirit_n which_o have_v their_o degree_n of_o more_o or_o less_o grossness_n as_o body_n have_v neither_o be_v there_o any_o other_o difference_n between_o body_n and_o spirit_n if_o body_n be_v not_o take_v in_o their_o sense_n who_o teach_v that_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n mere_o dead_a and_o void_a of_o life_n or_o a_o capacity_n thereof_o but_o in_o a_o proper_a sense_n sc_fw-la that_o it_o be_v a_o excellent_a creature_n have_v life_n and_o sense_n which_o either_o actual_o or_o potential_o agree_v to_o it_o but_o this_o that_o a_o body_n be_v the_o grosser_n part_n of_o a_o thing_n and_o spirit_n the_o subtle_a
