reduce_v it_o to_o insensible_a part_n can_v never_o take_v away_o either_o solidity_n extension_n figure_n or_o mobility_n from_o any_o body_n but_o only_o make_v two_o distinct_a body_n or_o more_o of_o one_o which_o altogether_o after_o division_n have_v their_o certain_a number_n §_o 11._o the_o next_o thing_n to_o be_v consider_v be_v how_o body_n operate_v one_o upon_o another_o and_o that_o be_v manifest_o by_o impulse_n and_o nothing_o else_o it_o be_v impossible_a to_o conceive_v that_o body_n shall_v operate_v on_o what_o it_o do_v not_o touch_v which_o be_v all_o one_o as_o to_o imagine_v it_o can_v operate_v where_o it_o be_v not_o or_o when_o it_o do_v touch_v operate_v any_o other_o way_n than_o by_o motion_n §_o 12._o if_o then_o body_n can_v operate_v at_o a_o distance_n if_o external_a object_n be_v not_o unite_v to_o our_o mind_n when_o they_o produce_v idea_n in_o it_o and_o yet_o we_o perceive_v these_o original_a quality_n in_o such_o of_o they_o as_o single_o fall_v under_o our_o sense_n it_o be_v evident_a that_o some_o motion_n must_v be_v thence_o continue_v by_o our_o nerve_n or_o animal_n spirit_n by_o some_o part_n of_o our_o body_n to_o the_o brain_n the_o seat_n of_o sensation_n there_o to_o produce_v in_o our_o mind_n the_o particular_a idea_n we_o have_v of_o they_o and_o since_o the_o extension_n figure_n number_n and_o motion_n of_o body_n of_o a_o observable_a bigness_n may_v be_v perceive_v at_o a_o distance_n by_o the_o sight_n it_o be_v evident_a some_o single_o imperceptible_a body_n must_v come_v from_o they_o to_o the_o eye_n and_o thereby_o convey_v to_o the_o brain_n some_o motion_n which_o produce_v these_o idea_n we_o have_v of_o they_o in_o we_o §_o 13._o after_o the_o same_o manner_n that_o the_o idea_n of_o these_o original_a quality_n be_v produce_v in_o we_o we_o may_v conceive_v that_o the_o idea_n of_o secundary_a quality_n be_v also_o produce_v viz._n by_o the_o operation_n of_o insensible_a particle_n on_o our_o sense_n for_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o there_o be_v body_n and_o good_a store_n of_o body_n each_o whereof_o be_v so_o small_a that_o we_o can_v by_o any_o of_o our_o sense_n

less_o than_o the_o particle_n of_o air_n or_o water_n as_o the_o particle_n of_o air_n or_o water_n be_v small_a than_o pease_n or_o hailstone_n let_v we_o suppose_v at_o present_a that_o the_o different_a motion_n and_o figure_n bulk_n and_o number_n of_o such_o particle_n affect_v the_o several_a organ_n of_o our_o sense_n produce_v in_o we_o those_o different_a sensation_n which_o we_o have_v from_o the_o colour_n and_o smell_v of_o body_n v_o g._n a_o violet_n by_o which_o impulse_n of_o those_o insensible_a particle_n of_o matter_n of_o different_a figure_n and_o bulk_n and_o in_o a_o different_a degree_n and_o modification_n we_o may_v have_v the_o idea_n of_o the_o blue_a colour_n and_o sweet_a scent_n of_o a_o violet_n produce_v in_o our_o mind_n it_o be_v no_o more_o conceive_v impossible_a to_o conceive_v that_o god_n shall_v annex_v such_o idea_n to_o such_o motion_n with_o which_o they_o have_v no_o similitude_n than_o that_o he_o shall_v annex_v the_o idea_n of_o pain_n to_o the_o motion_n of_o a_o piece_n of_o steel_n divide_v our_o flesh_n with_o which_o that_o idea_n have_v no_o resemblance_n §_o 14._o what_o i_o have_v say_v concern_v colour_n and_o smell_v may_v be_v understand_v also_o of_o taste_n and_o sound_v and_o other_o the_o like_o sensible_a quality_n which_o whatever_o reality_n we_o by_o mistake_n attribute_n to_o they_o be_v in_o truth_n nothing_o in_o the_o object_n themselves_o but_o power_n to_o produce_v various_a sensation_n in_o we_o and_o depend_v on_o those_o primary_n quality_n viz._n bulk_n figure_n texture_n and_o motion_n of_o part_n and_o therefore_o i_o call_v they_o secundary_a quality_n §_o 15._o from_o whence_o i_o think_v it_o be_v easy_a to_o draw_v this_o observation_n that_o the_o idea_n of_o primary_n quality_n of_o body_n be_v resemblance_n of_o they_o and_o their_o pattern_n do_v real_o exist_v in_o the_o body_n themselves_o but_o the_o idea_n produce_v in_o we_o by_o these_o
