they_o decay_n and_o yet_o have_v still_o both_o life_n and_o reason_n unappair_v the_o cause_n whereof_o be_v that_o some_o of_o the_o instrument_n of_o life_n and_o sense_n do_v fail_v but_o the_o life_n itself_o which_o quicken_v they_o fail_v not_o and_o therefore_o the_o beast_n forgo_v not_o life_n in_o lose_v sense_n but_o he_o utter_o forgo_v sense_n in_o forego_v life_n and_o that_o be_v because_o life_n be_v the_o ground_n of_o the_o ability_n of_o sense_n and_o the_o sensitive_a life_n be_v a_o more_o excellent_a life_n than_o the_o quicken_a life_n as_o wherein_o those_o power_n and_o ability_n be_v as_o in_o their_o ●oot_n to_o be_v short_a he_o that_o bereave_v man_n or_o beast_n of_o the_o use_n of_o sense_n or_o man_n of_o the_o right_a use_n of_o reason_n do_v not_o

therefore_o it_o be_v a_o most_o sure_a argument_n that_o the_o soul_n which_o cause_v a_o beast_n to_o live_v and_o the_o soul_n that_o cause_v it_o to_o have_v sense_n be_v both_o one_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n one_o certain_a kind_n of_o life_n more_o lively_a and_o more_o excellent_a than_o the_o life_n that_o be_v in_o plant_n and_o
likewise_o that_o the_o soul_n which_o cause_v man_n to_o live_v to_o have_v sense_n and_o to_o reason_n be_v but_o one_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n one_o certain_a kind_n of_o life_n more_o excellent_a more_o lively_a and_o of_o further_a reach_n than_o the_o life_n of_o the_o beast_n but_o like_o as_o sense_n be_v as_o it_o be_v the_o form_n or_o self-being_n if_o i_o may_v so_o term_v it_o of_o the_o life_n of_o a_o beast_n so_o be_v reason_n or_o understanding_n the_o very_a form_n and_o self-being_n of_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n and_o to_o speak_v proper_o it_o be_v the_o soul_n or_o life_n

advise_o soul_n first_o averroes_n will_v needs_o bear_v aristotle_n on_o hand_n that_o aristotle_n be_v of_o that_o opinion_n let_v we_o see_v how_o this_o furnise_n of_o he_o can_v agree_v with_o the_o proposition_n which_o aristotle_n have_v leave_v we_o aristotle_n tell_v we_o that_o the_o soul_n be_v knit_v to_o the_o body_n as_o the_o form_n or_o shape_n to_o the_o matter_n that_o the_o soul_n have_v three_o chief_a power_n namely_o of_o life_n of_o sense_n and_o of_o understanding_n and_o that_o the_o understanding_n part_n contain_v in_o his_o power_n both_o the_o other_o two_o power_n as_o a_o five_o square_n contain_v both_o a_o foresquare_a and_o a_o triangle_n whereupon_o it_o follow_v soul_n that_o if_o any_o one_o of_o the_o three_o power_n of_o the_o soul_n be_v join_v to_o the_o body_n as_o a_o form_n to_o the_o matter_n all_o the_o three_o be_v join_v so_o to_o as_o which_o be_v all_o in_o one_o soul_n as_o in_o their_o root_n now_o averroes_n neither_o can_v nor_o will_v deny_v that_o the_o power_n of_o grow_v and_o of_o perceive_v by_o the_o sense_n be_v join_v after_o that_o manner_n to_o the_o body_n and_o therefore_o it_o follow_v that_o the_o understanding_n power_n be_v so_o join_v also_o and_o consequent_o that_o according_a to_o aristotle_n as_o everybody_o have_v his_o form_n soul_n so_o everybody_o have_v his_o soul_n the_o same_o aristotle_n find_v fault_n with_o the_o former_a philosopher_n for_o hold_v opinion_n that_o a_o soul_n may_v pass_v out_o of_o one_o man_n into_o another_o because_o say_v he_o that_o every_o certain_a soul_n must_v needs_o be_v apportion_v and_o appoint_v to_o some_o one_o certain_a body_n now_o look_v by_o what_o soul_n a_o man_n live_v by_o the_o same_o soul_n do_v he_o understand_v for_o it_o be_v but_o one_o soul_n endue_v with_o three_o divers_a ability_n as_o he_o himself_o teach_v open_o one_o understanding_n or_o mind_n therefore_o must_v according_a to_o aristotle_n work_v but_o in_o one_o several_a body_n and_o not_o in_o many_o body_n also_o according_a to_o aristotle_n a_o man_n and_o a_o beast_n agree_v in_o this_o that_o both_o of_o they_o have_v one_o sensitive_a power_n and_o one selfesame_a imagination_n of_o thing_n perceive_v by_o the_o sense_n and_o that_o they_o differ_v in_o this_o that_o man_n have_v yet_o further_o a_o mind_n and_o reason_n above_o the_o beast_n which_o thing_n the_o beast_n have_v not_o now_o if_o this_o understanding_n or_o mind_n be_v without_o the_o man_n as_o the_o sun_n be_v without_o the_o chamber_n that_o it_o shine_v into_o and_o enlighten_v than_o can_v he_o be_v call_v reasonable_a or_o endow_v with_o understanding_n neither_o do_v he_o consequent_o differ_v from_o a_o beast_n for_o the_o difference_n must_v be_v in_o nature_n and_o not_o in_o accident_n and_o so_o shall_v it_o ensue_v that_o aristotle_n foresay_a definition_n of_o a_o man_n be_v false_a as_o if_o he_o shall_v define_v a_o chamber_n by_o the_o shine_n of_o the_o sun_n into_o it_o or_o say_v that_o a_o dog_n differ_v not_o from_o a_o man_n in_o kind_n yea_o and_o that_o beast_n be_v capable_a of_o understanding_n for_o as_o much_o as_o they_o have_v imagination_n ready_a aforehand_o to_o receive_v the_o influence_n thereof_o as_o well_o as_o we_o but_o aristotle_n be_v always_o one_o in_o his_o define_v both_o of_o beast_n and_o of_o man_n and_o averroes_n also_o hold_v himself_o to_o it_o without_o doubt_v thereof_o at_o all_o this_o conclusion_n therefore_o can_v in_o any_o wise_a be_v uphold_v by_o such_o ground_n again_o if_o there_o be_v not_o in_o every_o several_a man_n a_o several_a mind_n but_o only_o one_o universal_a mind_n common_a to_o all_o man_n which_o become_v divers_a by_o the_o only_a diversity_n of_o

aristotle_n grant_v that_o we_o be_v not_o only_o divers_a live_a wight_n but_o also_o divers_a man_n and_o therefore_o he_o must_v needs_o mean_v also_o that_o we_o have_v not_o only_o divers_a

no_o continuance_n of_o themselves_o but_o only_o be_v as_o a_o shadow_n and_o vain_a fantasy_n but_o let_v aristotle_n alone_o for_o he_o have_v wrong_v and_o let_v we_o come_v to_o the_o matter_n itself_o the_o philosopher_n do_v ordinary_o make_v a_o double_a mind_n the_o one_o which_o they_o call_v possible_a or_o impossible_a which_o be_v capable_a and_o of_o ●bility_n to_o understand_v
