some_o body_n may_v do_v so_o but_o all_o white_a and_o black_a colour_n be_v not_o make_v by_o such_o reflection_n the_o truth_n be_v some_o conceive_v all_o colour_n to_o be_v make_v by_o one_o

much_o agitate_a among_o the_o learned_a concern_v cold_a to_o wit_n whether_o it_o be_v a_o positive_a quality_n or_o a_o bare_a privation_n of_o heat_n and_o my_o opinion_n be_v that_o cold_a be_v both_o a_o positive_a quality_n and_o a_o privation_n of_o heat_n for_o whatsoever_o be_v a_o true_a quality_n of_o cold_a must_v needs_o be_v a_o privation_n of_o heat_n since_o two_o opposite_n can_v subsist_v together_o in_o one_o and_o the_o same_o part_n at_o one_o point_n of_o time_n by_o privation_n i_o mean_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o alteration_n of_o nature_n action_n in_o her_o several_a part_n or_o which_o be_v all_o one_o a_o change_n of_o natural_a corporeal_a motion_n and_o so_o the_o death_n of_o animal_n may_v be_v call_v a_o privation_n of_o animal_n life_n that_o be_v a_o change_n of_o the_o animal_n motion_n in_o that_o particular_a creature_n which_o make_v animal_n life_n to_o some_o other_o kind_n of_o action_n which_o be_v not_o animal_n life_n and_o in_o this_o sense_n both_o cold_a and_o heat_n although_o they_o be_v positive_a quality_n or_o natural_a being_n yet_o they_o be_v also_o privation_n that_o be_v change_v of_o corporeal_a figurative_a

a_o bare_a privation_n or_o bare_a motion_n in_o nature_n but_o all_o motion_n be_v corporeal_a or_o material_a for_o matter_n motion_n and_o figure_n be_v but_o one_o thing_n which_o be_v the_o

most_o common_o cold_a and_o those_o that_o come_v from_o hot_a region_n be_v for_o the_o most_o part_n hot_a i_o answer_v the_o reason_n be_v that_o those_o wind_n have_v more_o constant_o pattern_v out_o the_o motion_n of_o cold_a or_o heat_n in_o those_o part_n from_o which_o they_o either_o separate_v themselves_o or_o which_o they_o have_v meet_v withal_o but_o it_o may_v be_v question_v

but_o that_o they_o proceed_v from_o a_o imitation_n of_o the_o near_a part_n which_o take_v pattern_n from_o other_o part_n and_o these_o again_o from_o the_o remote_a part_n so_o that_o they_o be_v

answer_v this_o be_v no_o more_o to_o be_v wonder_v at_o then_o that_o some_o man_n do_v die_v with_o cold_a for_o cold_a be_v contrary_a to_o fire_n if_o it_o have_v a_o predominate_a power_n it_o will_v without_o doubt_n put_v out_o the_o fire_n not_o that_o the_o cold_a corporeal_a motion_n do_v destroy_v fire_n by_o their_o actual_a power_n over_o it_o but_o that_o fire_n destroy_v itself_o by_o a_o imitation_n of_o the_o motion_n of_o cold_a so_o that_o cold_a be_v only_o a_o occasional_a cause_n of_o the_o fire_n destruction_n or_o at_o least_o of_o the_o alteration_n of_o its_o

nature_n which_o order_v her_o corporeal_a action_n to_o be_v always_o in_o a_o mean_a so_o that_o one_o extreme_a as_o one_o may_v call_v it_o do_v countervail_v another_o but_o than_o you_o will_v say_v there_o will_v always_o be_v a_o right_n and_o mean_a temper_n in_o all_o thing_n i_o answer_v so_o there_o be_v in_o the_o whole_a that_o be_v in_o infinite_a nature_n although_o not_o in_o every_o particular_a for_o nature_n wisdom_n order_n her_o particular_n to_o the_o best_a of_o the_o whole_a and_o although_o
of_o variety_n than_o man_n of_o argument_n which_o variety_n be_v the_o cause_n there_o be_v so_o many_o extravagant_a and_o irregular_a opinion_n in_o the_o world_n and_o i_o observe_v that_o most_o of_o the_o great_a and_o famous_a especial_o our_o modern_a author_n endeavour_v to_o deduce_v the_o knowledge_n of_o cause_n from_o their_o effect_n and_o not_o effect_n from_o their_o cause_n and_o think_v to_o find_v out_o nature_n by_o art_n not_o art_n by_o nature_n whereas_o in_o my_o opinion_n reason_n must_v first_o consider_v the_o cause_n and_o then_o sense_n may_v better_o perceive_v the_o effect_n reason_n must_v judge_n sense_n execute_v for_o reason_n be_v the_o prime_a part_n of_o nature_n as_o be_v the_o corporeal_a soul_n or_o mind_n of_o nature_n but_o some_o be_v so_o

reduce_v infinite_a nature_n to_o a_o finite_a principle_n whereas_o any_o one_o that_o enjoy_v but_o so_o much_o of_o humane_a sense_n and_o reason_n as_o to_o have_v the_o least_o perception_n or_o

that_o they_o who_o believe_v any_o finite_a part_n to_o be_v the_o cause_n and_o principle_n of_o infinite_a self-moving_a nature_n do_v in_o my_o opinion_n not_o only_a sin_n against_o nature_n but_o against_o god_n the_o author_n of_o nature_n who_o out_o of_o his_o infinite_a bounty_n give_v nature_n the_o power_n of_o self-motion_n but_o if_o any_o one_o desire_n to_o know_v what_o then_o

solid_a body_n be_v as_o active_a as_o the_o most_o rare_a and_o fluid_a part_n of_o matter_n if_o not_o exterious_o yet_o interious_o and_o therefore_o we_o can_v say_v that_o rare_a and_o fluid_a

understanding_n i_o will_v explain_v by_o another_o instance_n we_o see_v so_o many_o several_a creature_n in_o their_o several_a kind_n to_o wit_n element_n vegetable_n mineral_n and_o animal_n which_o be_v the_o chief_a distinction_n of_o those_o kind_n of_o creature_n as_o be_v subject_a to_o our_o sensitive_a perception_n and_o in_o all_o those_o what_o variety_n and_o difference_n do_v we_o find_v both_o in_o their_o exterior_a figure_n and_o in_o their_o interior_a nature_n true_o such_o as_o most_o of_o both_o ancient_a and_o modern_a philosopher_n have_v imagine_v some_o of_o they_o viz._n the_o element_n to_o be_v simple_a body_n and_o the_o principle_n of_o all_o other_o creature_n nay_o those_o several_a creature_n do_v not_o only_o differ_v so_o much_o from_o each_o other_o in_o their_o general_a kind_n but_o there_o be_v no_o less_o difference_n perceive_v in_o their_o particular_a kind_n for_o example_n concern_v element_n what_o difference_n be_v there_o not_o between_o heavy_a and_o contract_a earth_n and_o between_o light_n and_o dilate_v air_n between_o flow_a water_n and_o ascend_a fire_n so_o as_o it_o will_v be_v a_o endless_a labour_n to_o consider_v all_o the_o different_a nature_n of_o those_o creature_n only_o that_o be_v subject_a to_o our_o exterior_a sense_n and_o yet_o who_o dare_v deny_v that_o they_o all_o consist_v of_o matter_n or_o be_v material_a thus_o we_o see_v that_o infinite_a matter_n be_v not_o like_o a_o piece_n of_o clay_n out_o of_o which_o no_o figure_n can_v be_v make_v but_o it_o must_v be_v clayie_a for_o natural_a matter_n have_v no_o such_o narrow_a bound_n and_o be_v not_o force_v to_o make_v all_o creature_n alike_o for_o though_o gold_n and_o stone_n be_v both_o material_a nay_o of_o the_o same_o kind_n to_o wit_n mineral_n yet_o one_o be_v not_o the_o other_o nor_o like_o the_o other_o and_o if_o this_o be_v true_a of_o matter_n why_o may_v not_o the_o same_o be_v say_v of_o self-motion_n which_o be_v sense_n and_o reason_n wherefore_o in_o all_o probability_n of_o truth_n there_o be_v sense_n and_o reason_n in_o a_o mineral_n as_o well_o as_o in_o a_o animal_n and_o in_o a_o vegetable_a as_o well_o as_o in_o a_o element_n although_o there_o be_v as_o great_a a_o difference_n between_o the_o manner_n and_o way_n of_o their_o sensitive_a and_o rational_a perception_n as_o there_o be_v between_o both_o their_o exterior_a and_o interior_a figure_n and_o nature_n nay_o there_o be_v a_o difference_n of_o sense_n and_o reason_n even_o in_o the_o part_n of_o one_o and_o the_o same_o creature_n and_o consequent_o of_o sensitive_a and_o rational_a perception_n or_o knowledge_n for_o as_o i_o have_v declare_v heretofore_o more_o at_o large_a every_o sensitive_a organ_n in_o man_n have_v its_o peculiar_a way_n of_o knowledge_n and_o perception_n for_o the_o eye_n do_v not_o know_v what_o the_o ear_n know_v nor_o the_o ear_n what_o the_o nose_n know_v etc._n etc._n all_o which_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o a_o general_a ignorance_n between_o nature_n part_n and_o the_o chief_a cause_n of_o all_o this_o difference_n be_v the_o variety_n of_o self-motion_n for_o if_o natural_a motion_n be_v in_o all_o creature_n alike_o all_o sense_n and_o reason_n will_v be_v alike_o too_o and_o if_o there_o be_v no_o degree_n of_o matter_n all_o the_o figure_n of_o creature_n will_v be_v alike_o either_o all_o hard_a or_o all_o soft_a all_o dense_n or_o all_o rare_a and_o fluid_a etc._n etc._n and_o yet_o neither_o this_o variety_n of_o motion_n cause_v a_o absence_n of_o motion_n or_o of_o sense_n and_o reason_n nor_o the_o variety_n of_o figure_n a_o absence_n of_o matter_n but_o only_o a_o difference_n between_o the_o part_n of_o nature_n all_o be_v nevertheless_o self-moving_a sensible_a and_o rational_a as_o well_o as_o material_a for_o wheresoever_o be_v natural_a matter_n there_o be_v also_o self-motion_n and_o consequent_o sense_n and_o reason_n by_o this_o we_o may_v see_v how_o easy_a it_o be_v to_o conceive_v the_o action_n of_o nature_n and_o to_o resolve_v all_o the_o phaenomena_n or_o appearance_n upon_o this_o ground_n and_o i_o can_v admire_v enough_o how_o so_o many_o eminent_a and_o learned_a philosopher_n have_v be_v and_o be_v still_o puzzle_v about_o the_o natural_a rational_a soul_n of_o man_n some_o will_v have_v she_o to_o

of_o the_o body_n there_o be_v so_o many_o several_a sort_n consist_v in_o feature_n shape_n and_o proportion_n of_o body_n as_o it_o be_v impossible_a to_o describe_v proper_o what_o beauty_n be_v

of_o all_o and_o be_v judge_v alike_o by_o every_o one_o that_o view_v it_o nay_o not_o by_o all_o immortal_a soul_n neither_o in_o body_n nor_o mind_n for_o what_o one_o like_v another_o may_v

be_v say_v principle_n of_o the_o universe_n for_o whatsoever_o consist_v of_o thing_n apparent_a to_o sense_n be_v compound_v of_o thing_n not_o apparent_a and_o a_o principle_n must_v not_o consist_v of_o any_o thing_n but_o be_v that_o of_o which_o the_o thing_n consist_v to_o which_o i_o answer_v first_o i_o can_v conceive_v what_o they_o mean_v by_o thing_n apparent_a to_o sense_n if_o they_o mean_v the_o sensitive_a organ_n of_o humane_a creature_n they_o be_v mistake_v for_o there_o may_v be_v and_o be_v real_o many_o thing_n in_o nature_n which_o be_v not_o apparent_a to_o humane_a sense_n and_o yet_o be_v not_o principle_n but_o natural_a effect_n wherefore_o not_o all_o thing_n that_o be_v not_o apparent_a to_o humane_a sense_n be_v principle_n of_o nature_n beside_o there_o may_v be_v many_o other_o creature_n which_o do_v far_o exceed_v man_n or_o animal_n in_o their_o sensitive_a perception_n and_o if_o thing_n be_v not_o subject_a to_o humane_a sense_n they_o may_v be_v subject_a to_o the_o sense_n of_o other_o creature_n but_o if_o by_o sense_n they_o mean_v the_o sensitive_a life_n of_o nature_n they_o commit_v a_o far_o great_a error_n for_o there_o be_v nothing_o which_o be_v not_o subject_a or_o have_v a_o participation_n of_o this_o universal_a sense_n in_o nature_n as_o well_o as_o of_o reason_n it_o be_v true_a particular_a sense_n can_v perceive_v the_o infinite_a figurative_a motion_n of_o nature_n neither_o can_v the_o subtle_a sense_n have_v a_o perception_n of_o the_o interior_a innate_a figurative_a motion_n of_o any_o other_o

nature_n but_o you_o will_v say_v how_o can_v infinite_a be_v a_o principle_n of_o particular_a finites_n i_o answer_v as_o well_o as_o the_o infinite_a god_n can_v be_v the_o author_n of_o nature_n and_o all_o natural_a being_n which_o though_o they_o be_v finite_a in_o their_o particular_a figure_n yet_o their_o number_n be_v infinite_a 2._o concern_v the_o number_n of_o pythagoras_n which_o

no_o sense_n nor_o reason_n true_o there_o can_v be_v no_o motion_n without_o sense_n nor_o no_o orderly_a motion_n without_o reason_n and_o though_o epicurus_n atom_n may_v move_v by_o chance_n without_o reason_n yet_o they_o can_v not_o move_v in_o a_o concord_n or_o harmony_n not_o know_v what_o they_o be_v to_o do_v or_o why_o or_o whither_o they_o move_v nay_o if_o they_o have_v no_o

by_o reason_n i_o see_v that_o they_o so_o frequent_o call_v principle_n those_o which_o be_v but_o effect_n of_o nature_n some_o count_v the_o element_n principle_n some_o number_n some_o idea_n some_o atom_n and_o the_o like_a and_o by_o their_o different_a opinion_n they_o confirm_v that_o there_o be_v as_o well_o discord_n and_o division_n as_o there_o be_v concord_n and_o composition_n of_o the_o part_n of_o nature_n for_o if_o this_o be_v not_o there_o will_v be_v no_o contrary_a action_n and_o consequent_o no_o variety_n of_o figure_n and_o motion_n 3._o whatsoever_o be_v

can_v neither_o be_v single_a action_n or_o single_a perception_n but_o as_o the_o part_n or_o action_n of_o nature_n move_v in_o one_o body_n and_o not_o single_o several_a infinite_a way_n so_o the_o self-active_a part_n in_o one_o compose_v figure_n make_v perception_n of_o those_o several_a composition_n in_o exterior_a object_n but_o since_o my_o opinion_n be_v that_o the_o perception_n

for_o though_o all_o action_n of_o nature_n be_v perceptive_a yet_o none_o can_v be_v more_o agile_a and_o active_a than_o the_o rational_a and_o next_o to_o they_o none_o more_o but_o the_o sensitive_a action_n of_o imitation_n and_o pattern_v for_o as_o we_o may_v perceive_v the_o action_n of_o production_n dissolution_n growth_n decay_n etc._n etc._n be_v far_o more_o slow_a than_o

mix_v with_o it_o i_o answer_v yes_o for_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o one_o shall_v either_o be_v or_o work_v without_o the_o other_o by_o reason_n it_o be_v the_o propriety_n of_o the_o sensitive_a corporeal_a motion_n to_o work_v upon_o and_o with_o the_o inanimate_a part_n and_o the_o chief_a difference_n that_o be_v between_o the_o rational_a and_o sensitive_a part_n for_o the_o rational_a can_v act_v within_o their_o own_o degree_n of_o matter_n but_o the_o sensitive_a be_v always_o encumber_v with_o labour_v on_o the_o inanimate_a and_o can_v work_v so_o as_o the_o rational_a do_v but_o then_o they_o will_v say_v if_o the_o sensitive_a part_n be_v so_o encumber_v with_o the_o inanimate_a how_o be_v it_o possible_a that_o they_o can_v make_v such_o quick_a perception_n as_o we_o observe_v they_o do_v i_o answer_v there_o be_v many_o kind_n and_o sort_n of_o perception_n whereof_o some_o be_v slow_a and_o some_o quick_a than_o other_o according_a to_o the_o several_a degree_n of_o grossness_n and_o purity_n of_o the_o inanimate_a part_n so_o that_o we_o have_v no_o reason_n to_o wonder_v at_o the_o variety_n of_o perception_n and_o how_o some_o come_v to_o be_v quick_a and_o some_o slow_a for_o some_o part_n of_o inanimate_a matter_n may_v be_v so_o pure_a and_o fine_a that_o be_v they_o subject_a to_o our_o perception_n we_o shall_v take_v they_o to_o be_v part_n of_o the_o animate_v degree_n last_o some_o may_v say_v that_o although_o the_o sensitive_a degree_n of_o matter_n be_v not_o the_o same_o with_o the_o inanimate_a yet_o they_o be_v so_o close_o intermix_v as_o i_o have_v describe_v may_v by_o a_o voluntary_a agreement_n alter_v the_o part_n of_o nature_n as_o they_o please_v as_o from_o a_o vegetable_a into_o a_o mineral_n from_o a_o mineral_n into_o a_o animal_n etc._n etc._n and_o that_o either_o of_o their_o own_o accord_n or_o by_o imitation_n i_o answer_v it_o may_v be_v possible_a in_o nature_n but_o yet_o it_o be_v not_o probable_a that_o they_o do_v so_o by_o reason_n all_o the_o self-moving_a part_n do_v not_o in_o all_o compose_a figure_n work_v agreeable_o or_o alike_o but_o their_o action_n be_v for_o

by_o discourse_n i_o do_v not_o mean_a speech_n but_o a_o argue_n of_o the_o mind_n or_o a_o rational_a inquiry_n into_o the_o cause_n of_o natural_a effect_n for_o discourse_n be_v as_o much_o as_o

and_o 15_o emission_n of_o part_n through_o the_o pore_n or_o passage_n proper_a to_o each_o particular_a figure_n so_o that_o when_o some_o part_n issue_n other_o enter_v i_o do_v not_o mean_v at_o

of_o nature_n as_o a_o general_a or_o universal_a action_n and_o that_o this_o respiration_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o composition_n and_o division_n of_o part_n but_o how_o particular_a respiration_n be_v perform_v none_o but_o infinite_a nature_n be_v capable_a to_o know_v when_o i_o say_v that_o there_o be_v a_o difference_n between_o respiration_n 16._o and_o perception_n and_o that_o perception_n be_v a_o action_n of_o figure_v or_o pattern_v but_o respiration_n a_o action_n of_o reception_n and_o emission_n of_o part_n first_o i_o do_v not_o mean_v that_o all_o

as_o they_o be_v no_o more_o but_o particular_a action_n so_o they_o have_v but_o particular_a perception_n and_o although_o all_o motion_n be_v sensible_a yet_o no_o part_n be_v sensible_a but_o by_o its_o own_o motion_n in_o its_o own_o part_n that_o be_v no_o corporeal_a motion_n be_v sensible_a but_o of_o or_o by_o itself_o therefore_o when_o a_o man_n move_v a_o string_n or_o toss_v a_o ball_n

of_o its_o own_o figure_n but_o it_o do_v not_o move_v by_o the_o hand_n motion_n but_o by_o its_o own_o for_o there_o can_v be_v no_o motion_n impart_v without_o matter_n or_o substance_n neither_o

although_o i_o allow_v that_o there_o be_v particular_a both_o rational_a and_o sensitive_a figurative_a motion_n in_o every_o part_n and_o particle_n of_o the_o body_n yet_o the_o rational_a being_n

and_o its_o part_n or_o a_o cause_n and_o its_o effect_n for_o though_o self-motion_n be_v the_o occasional_a cause_n of_o particular_a perception_n by_o reason_n it_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o all_o

selfknowledg_o selfknowledg_v there_o can_v not_o be_v perception_n by_o reason_n perception_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o particular_a exterior_a knowledge_n or_o knowledge_n of_o exterior_a part_n and_o action_n occasion_v by_o the_o various_a composition_n and_o division_n of_o part_n so_o that_o self-moving_a matter_n have_v a_o perceptive_a self-knowledg_n and_o consist_v of_o infinite_a part_n those_o part_n have_v particular_a self-knowledge_n and_o perception_n according_a to_o the_o variety_n of_o the_o corporeal_a figurative_a motion_n which_o as_o they_o be_v particular_a can_v be_v infinite_a in_o themselves_o for_o although_o a_o whole_a may_v know_v its_o part_n yet_o the_o part_n can_v possible_o know_v the_o whole_a because_o a_o infinite_a may_v know_v a_o finite_a

which_o be_v well_o to_o be_v observe_v for_o though_o the_o rational_a sensitive_a and_o inanimate_a part_n of_o matter_n make_v but_o one_o infinite_a self-moving_a body_n of_o nature_n yet_o there_o be_v infinite_a particular_a self-knowledge_n for_o nature_n be_v divide_v into_o infinite_a part_n and_o all_o part_n of_o nature_n be_v self-knowing_a but_o as_o all_o be_v not_o animate_v so_o all_o be_v not_o perceptive_a for_o perception_n though_o it_o proceed_v from_o self-knowledg_n as_o its_o ground_n or_o principle_n yet_o it_o be_v also_o a_o effect_n of_o self-motion_n for_o be_v there_o no_o self-motion_n there_o will_v be_v no_o perception_n and_o because_o nature_n be_v self-moving_a all_o her_o part_n be_v so_o too_o and_o as_o all_o her_o part_n be_v move_v so_o they_o have_v all_o composition_n and_o division_n and_o as_o all_o be_v subject_a to_o composition_n and_o division_n so_o all_o have_v variety_n of_o self-knowledg_n so_o that_o no_o part_n can_v

wherefore_o my_o opinion_n be_v that_o the_o most_o rare_a and_o subtle_a part_n in_o the_o animal_n sensitive_a organ_n do_v pattern_n out_o the_o figure_n of_o exterior_a object_n and_o that_o the_o

how_o the_o bare_a pattern_v out_o of_o the_o exterior_a figure_n of_o a_o object_n can_v give_v we_o a_o information_n of_o its_o interior_n nature_n my_o answer_n be_v that_o although_o our_o

perception_n by_o reason_n it_o be_v more_o free_a than_o the_o sensitive_a do_v not_o rest_n in_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o exterior_a figure_n of_o a_o object_n but_o by_o its_o exterior_a

although_o the_o interior_a and_o exterior_a action_n of_o a_o compose_a figure_n be_v different_a yet_o the_o exterior_a may_v partly_o give_v a_o hint_n or_o information_n of_o the_o interior_a i_o say_v partly_o because_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o one_o finite_a particular_a creature_n shall_v have_v a_o perfect_a knowledge_n or_o perception_n of_o all_o the_o interior_a and_o exterior_a action_n of_o another_o particular_a creature_n for_o example_n our_o sensitive_a perception_n pattern_n out_o a_o animal_n a_o mineral_n a_o vegetable_a etc._n etc._n we_o perceive_v they_o have_v

of_o these_o creature_n be_v not_o subject_a to_o the_o perception_n of_o our_o exterior_a sense_n can_v exact_o be_v know_v nevertheless_o although_o our_o exterior_a sense_n have_v no_o perception_n thereof_o yet_o their_o own_o part_n which_o be_v concern_v in_o it_o as_o also_o their_o adjoin_v or_o neighbour_a part_n may_v for_o example_n a_o man_n know_v he_o have_v a_o digestion_n in_o his_o

know_v it_o nay_o they_o must_v of_o necessity_n do_v so_o because_o they_o be_v concern_v in_o it_o as_o be_v their_o proper_a employment_n the_o same_o may_v be_v say_v of_o all_o other_o particular_a part_n and_o action_n in_o a_o animal_n body_n which_o be_v like_o several_a workman_n employ_v in_o the_o build_n of_o a_o house_n for_o although_o they_o do_v all_o work_n and_o

figure_n or_o creature_n which_o prove_v that_o perception_n have_v only_o a_o respect_n to_o exterior_a part_n or_o object_n when_o as_o self-knowledg_n be_v a_o interior_a inherent_a inate_a and_o as_o it_o be_v a_o fix_a being_n for_o it_o be_v the_o ground_n and_o fountain_n of_o all_o other_o particular_a knowledge_n and_o perception_n even_o as_o self-motion_n be_v the_o cause_n and_o

numerous_a perception_n which_o do_v vary_v infinite_o according_a to_o the_o various_a change_n of_o corporeal_a self-motion_n in_o short_a self-knowledg_n be_v the_o fundamental_a cause_n of_o

it_o possible_a that_o several_a figure_n can_v be_v pattern_v out_o by_o one_o act_n of_o perception_n for_o example_n how_o can_v a_o man_n when_o he_o see_v a_o statue_n or_o a_o stone_n pattern_n out_o both_o the_o exterior_a shape_n of_o the_o statue_n the_o matter_n which_o the_o statue_n be_v make_v of_o and_o its_o colour_n and_o all_o this_o by_o one_o and_o the_o same_o act_n i_o answer_v first_o it_o be_v to_o be_v observe_v that_o matter_n colour_n figure_n magnitude_n etc._n etc._n be_v all_o but_o one_o thing_n and_o therefore_o they_o may_v easy_o be_v pattern_v out_o by_o one_o act_n of_o perception_n at_o one_o and_o the_o same_o time_n next_o i_o say_v that_o no_o sense_n be_v make_v by_o one_o single_a part_n but_o every_o sense_n consist_v of_o several_a part_n and_o therefore_o the_o perception_n of_o one_o sense_n may_v very_o well_o pattern_n out_o several_a object_n at_o once_o for_o example_n i_o see_v a_o embroider_v bed_n my_o eye_n pattern_n out_o both_o the_o velvet_n gold_n silver_n silk_n colour_n and_o the_o workmanship_n nay_o superficial_o the_o figure_n of_o the_o whole_a bed_n and_o all_o this_o by_o one_o act_n and_o at_o one_o the_o same_o time_n but_o it_o be_v to_o be_v observe_v that_o one_o object_n may_v have_v several_a propriety_n which_o be_v not_o all_o subject_n to_o the_o perception_n of_o one_o sense_n as_o for_o example_n the_o smell_n of_o a_o odoriferous_a body_n and_o its_o colour_n be_v not_o subject_a to_o the_o same_o sense_n neither_o be_v the_o hardness_n or_o softness_n roughness_n or_o smoothness_n of_o its_o part_n subject_a to_o the_o sense_n of_o smell_v or_o see_v but_o each_o be_v perceive_v by_o such_o a_o sense_n as_o be_v proper_a for_o such_o a_o sort_n of_o perception_n nevertheless_o these_o different_a perception_n do_v not_o make_v they_o to_o be_v different_a body_n for_o even_o one_o and_o the_o same_o attribute_n or_o propriety_n of_o a_o body_n may_v be_v pattern_v out_o by_o several_a sense_n for_o example_n magnitude_n or_o shape_n of_o body_n may_v be_v pattern_v out_o both_o by_o fight_n and_o touch_v which_o prove_v that_o there_o be_v a_o near_a affinity_n or_o alliance_n betwixt_o the_o several_a sense_n and_o that_o touch_v be_v as_o it_o be_v a_o general_a sense_n which_o may_v imitate_v some_o other_o sensitive_a perception_n the_o truth_n be_v it_o be_v as_o easy_a for_o several_a sense_n to_o pattern_n
when_o the_o sensitive_a do_v not_o to_o which_o i_o answer_v it_o be_v probable_a that_o the_o rational_a do_v many_o time_n move_v to_o other_o perception_n than_o the_o sensitive_a as_o i_o have_v often_o declare_v but_o if_o their_o action_n be_v orderly_a and_o regular_a then_o most_o common_o they_o move_v to_o one_o and_o the_o same_o perception_n but_o reason_n be_v the_o pure_a and_o free_a part_n have_v a_o more_o subtle_a perception_n than_o sense_n for_o there_o be_v great_a difference_n between_o sense_n and_o reason_n concern_v the_o subtlety_n of_o their_o action_n sense_n do_v perceive_v as_o it_o be_v in_o part_n when_o as_o reason_n perceive_v general_o and_o in_o whole_a for_o if_o there_o be_v a_o object_n which_o be_v to_o be_v pattern_v out_o with_o all_o its_o propriety_n the_o colour_n of_o it_o be_v perceive_v only_o by_o sight_n the_o smell_n of_o it_o be_v perceive_v by_o the_o nose_n its_o sound_n be_v perceive_v by_o the_o ear_n its_o taste_n be_v perceive_v by_o the_o tongue_n and_o its_o hardness_n or_o softness_n coldness_n or_o heat_n dryness_n or_o moisture_n be_v perceive_v by_o touch_n so_o that_o every_o sense_n in_o particular_a pattern_n out_o that_o object_n which_o be_v proper_a for_o it_o and_o each_o have_v but_o so_o much_o knowledge_n of_o the_o say_a object_n as_o it_o pattern_n out_o for_o the_o sight_n know_v nothing_o of_o its_o taste_n nor_o the_o taste_n of_o its_o touch_n nor_o the_o touch_n of_o its_o smell_n and_o so_o forth_o but_o the_o mind_n pattern_n out_o all_o those_o figure_n together_o so_o that_o they_o be_v but_o as_o one_o object_n to_o it_o without_o division_n which_o prove_v that_o the_o rational_a perception_n be_v more_o general_a be_v also_o more_o perfect_a than_o the_o sensitive_a and_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o it_o be_v more_o free_a and_o not_o encumber_v with_o the_o burden_n of_o other_o part_n wherefore_o the_o rational_a can_v judge_v better_o of_o object_n then_o the_o sensitive_a as_o be_v more_o know_v and_o know_v more_o because_o it_o have_v a_o more_o general_a perception_n and_o have_v a_o more_o general_a perception_n because_o it_o be_v more_o subtle_a and_o active_a and_o be_v more_o subtle_a and_o active_a because_o it_o be_v free_a and_o not_o necessitate_v to_o labour_v on_o or_o with_o any_o other_o part_n but_o some_o may_v say_v how_o be_v it_o possible_a that_o the_o rational_a part_n be_v so_o close_o intermix_v with_o the_o sensitive_a and_o the_o inanimate_a can_v move_v by_o itself_o and_o not_o be_v a_o labourer_n as_o well_o as_o the_o sensitive_a i_o answer_v the_o reason_n be_v because_o the_o rational_a part_n be_v more_o pure_a and_o fine_a than_o the_o sensitive_a or_o any_o other_o part_n of_o matter_n which_o purity_n and_o fineness_n make_v that_o it_o be_v so_o subtle_a and_o active_a and_o consequent_o not_o necessitate_v to_o labour_v with_o or_o on_o other_o part_n again_o some_o may_v ask_v whether_o those_o intermix_a part_n continue_v always_o together_o in_o their_o particular_n as_o for_o example_n whether_o the_o same_o rational_a part_n keep_v constant_o to_o the_o same_o sensitive_a and_o inanimate_a part_n as_o they_o be_v commix_v i_o answer_v nature_n be_v in_o a_o perpetual_a motion_n and_o her_o part_n be_v part_n of_o her_o own_o self-moving_a body_n wherefore_o they_o must_v of_o necessity_n divide_v and_o compose_v but_o if_o they_o divide_v and_o compose_v they_o can_v keep_v constant_o to_o the_o same_o part_n nevertheless_o although_o particular_a part_n be_v divideable_a from_o each_o other_o yet_o the_o triumvirate_n of_o nature_n that_o be_v the_o three_o chief_a degree_n or_o part_n of_o matter_n to_o wit_n rational_a sensitive_a and_o inanimate_a which_o belong_v to_o the_o constitution_n of_o nature_n can_v be_v separate_v or_o divide_v from_o each_o other_o in_o general_a so_o that_o rational_a matter_n may_v be_v divide_v from_o sensitive_a

more_o subtle_a and_o know_v then_o the_o sensitive_a since_o in_o my_o philosophical_a opinion_n i_o have_v declare_v that_o the_o sensitive_a perception_n do_v inform_v the_o rational_a or_o that_o reason_n perceive_v by_o the_o information_n of_o the_o sense_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v my_o meaning_n be_v not_o that_o reason_n have_v no_o other_o perception_n but_o by_o the_o information_n of_o the_o sense_n for_o sure_o the_o rational_a perception_n be_v more_o subtle_a pierce_a and_o penetrate_v or_o inspective_n than_o the_o sensitive_a and_o therefore_o more_o intelligent_a and_o know_a but_o when_o i_o say_v that_o sense_n inform_v reason_n i_o speak_v only_o of_o such_o perception_n where_o the_o rational_a figurative_a motion_n take_v pattern_n from_o the_o sensitive_a and_o do_v

figurative_a motion_n to_o the_o sensitive_a touch_n so_o that_o touch_n be_v like_o a_o thought_n in_o sense_n and_o think_v like_o a_o touch_n in_o reason_n but_o there_o be_v great_a difference_n in_o their_o purity_n for_o though_o the_o action_n of_o touch_n and_o thought_n be_v much_o after_o the_o same_o manner_n yet_o the_o different_a degree_n of_o sense_n and_o reason_n or_o of_o animate_v sensitive_a and_o rational_a matter_n cause_n great_a difference_n between_o they_o and_o as_o all_o sensitive_a perception_n be_v a_o kind_n of_o touch_n so_o all_o rational_a perception_n be_v a_o kind_n of_o thoughtfulness_n but_o mistake_v i_o not_o when_o i_o say_v thought_n be_v like_a touch_n for_o i_o do_v not_o mean_v that_o the_o rational_a perception_n be_v cause_v by_o the_o

the_o only_a difference_n be_v that_o as_o i_o say_v every_o eye_n be_v ignorant_a of_o each_o other_o perception_n but_o you_o will_v say_v there_o be_v so_o many_o copy_n make_v as_o there_o be_v

another_o at_o a_o great_a distance_n and_o when_o other_o part_n be_v between_o i_o answer_v this_o question_n be_v easy_o resolve_v if_o we_o do_v but_o consider_v that_o the_o differerence_n of_o

there_o may_v infinite_a several_a perception_n be_v make_v by_o one_o and_o the_o same_o part_n if_o matter_n be_v eternal_a and_o perpetual_o move_v and_o hence_o it_o follow_v that_o some_o part_n may_v make_v perception_n of_o distant_a part_n and_o not_o of_o neighbour_a part_n and_o other_o again_o may_v make_v perception_n of_o neighbour_a or_o adjoin_v part_n and_o not_o of_o those_o that_o be_v distant_a as_o for_o example_n in_o the_o animal_n perception_n taste_n and_o touch_n be_v only_a perception_n of_o adjoin_a object_n when_o as_o sight_n and_o hear_n do_v perceive_v at_o

of_o the_o same_o finger_n but_o some_o may_v say_v if_o there_o be_v such_o ignorance_n between_o the_o part_n of_o a_o compose_a figure_n how_o come_v it_o that_o many_o time_n the_o pain_n of_o

foreign_a object_n so_o ready_o as_o other_o do_v as_o for_o example_n a_o man_n play_v upon_o a_o fiddle_n or_o some_o other_o instrument_n and_o there_o be_v hundred_o or_o more_o to_o hear_v he_o it_o happen_v oft_o that_o those_o at_o a_o further_a distance_n do_v make_v a_o perfect_a perception_n of_o that_o sound_n than_o those_o which_o be_v near_o and_o oftentimes_o those_o that_o be_v

for_o sense_n can_v move_v itself_o but_o be_v a_o mutation_n in_o the_o organ_n cause_v by_o some_o sensible_a object_n but_o the_o absurdity_n of_o this_o opinion_n i_o have_v declare_v heretofore_o

sense_n and_o reason_n be_v material_a also_o and_o therefore_o we_o need_v not_o to_o introduce_v a_o incorporeal_a mind_n or_o intellect_n beside_o if_o sense_n and_o reason_n be_v a_o
