sensitive_a and_o rational_a motion_n the_o perception_n also_o be_v various_a produce_v not_o by_o external_a pressure_n but_o by_o internal_a self-motion_n as_o i_o have_v declare_v heretofore_o and_o to_o prove_v that_o the_o sensitive_a and_o rational_a corporeal_a motion_n be_v the_o only_a cause_n of_o perception_n i_o say_v if_o those_o motion_n in_o a_o animal_n move_v in_o another_o

the_o sensitive_a and_o rational_a corporeal_a motion_n make_v all_o that_o be_v in_o nature_n so_o likewise_o they_o make_v perception_n as_o be_v perception_n itself_o for_o all_o self-motion_n be_v perception_n but_o all_o perception_n be_v not_o animal_n perception_n or_o after_o a_o animal_n way_n and_o therefore_o sense_n can_v decay_v nor_o die_v but_o what_o be_v call_v a_o decay_n or_o

of_o its_o figure_n in_o the_o next_o adjoin_v body_n until_o it_o come_v to_o the_o organ_n of_o sense_n i_o answer_v that_o then_o sost_a body_n only_o must_v be_v press_v and_o the_o object_n must_v be_v so_o hard_a as_o to_o make_v a_o print_n and_o as_o for_o rare_a part_n of_o matter_n they_o be_v not_o able_a to_o retain_v a_o print_n without_o self-motion_n wherefore_o it_o be_v not_o

wherefore_o in_o my_o opinion_n perception_n be_v not_o cause_v either_o by_o the_o print_n of_o object_n nor_o by_o pressure_n for_o pressure_n will_v make_v a_o general_a stop_n of_o all_o natural_a motion_n especial_o if_o there_o be_v any_o reaction_n or_o resistance_n of_o sense_n but_o according_a to_o my_o reason_n the_o sensitive_a and_o rational_a corporeal_a motion_n in_o one_o body_n

opinion_n 2â—â—_n there_o can_v be_v no_o abstraction_n make_v of_o motion_n from_o body_n neither_o real_o nor_o in_o the_o manner_n of_o our_o conception_n for_o how_o can_v i_o conceive_v that_o which_o be_v not_o nor_o can_v be_v in_o nature_n that_o be_v to_o conceive_v motion_n without_o body_n wherefore_o motion_n be_v but_o one_o thing_n with_o body_n without_o any_o separation_n or_o abstraction_n soever_o neither_o do_v it_o agree_v with_o my_o reason_n that_o one_o body_n can_v give_v or_o transferr_v 40._o motion_n into_o another_o body_n and_o as_o much_o motion_n it_o give_v or_o transfer_v into_o that_o body_n as_o much_o lose_v it_o as_o for_o example_n in_o two_o hard_a body_n throw_v against_o one_o another_o where_o one_o that_o be_v throw_v with_o great_a force_n takes_z the_o other_z along_o with_o it_o and_o lose_v as_o much_o motion_n as_o it_o give_v it_o for_o how_o can_v motion_n be_v no_o substance_n but_o only_o a_o mode_n quit_v one_o body_n and_o pass_v into_o another_o one_o body_n may_v either_o occasion_n or_o imitate_v another_o motion_n but_o it_o can_v neither_o give_v nor_o take_v away_o what_o belong_v to_o its_o own_o or_o another_o body_n substance_n no_o more_o than_o matter_n can_v quit_v its_o nature_n from_o be_v matter_n and_o therefore_o my_o opinion_n be_v that_o if_o motion_n do_v go_v out_o of_o one_o body_n into_o another_o than_o substance_n go_v too_o for_o motion_n and_o substance_n or_o body_n
as_o aforementioned_a be_v all_o one_o thing_n and_o then_o all_o body_n that_o receive_v motion_n from_o other_o body_n must_v needs_o increase_v in_o their_o substance_n and_o quantity_n and_o those_o body_n which_o impart_v or_o transferr_v motion_n must_v decrease_v as_o much_o as_o they_o increase_v true_o madam_n that_o neither_o motion_n nor_o figure_n shall_v subsist_v by_o themselves_o and_o yet_o be_v transferrable_a into_o other_o body_n be_v very_o strange_a and_o as_o much_o as_o to_o prove_v they_o to_o be_v nothing_o and_o yet_o to_o say_v they_o be_v something_o the_o like_a may_v be_v say_v of_o all_o other_o which_o they_o call_v accident_n as_o skill_n learning_n knowledge_n etc._n etc._n say_v they_o be_v no_o body_n because_o they_o have_v no_o

body_n and_o they_o be_v all_o one_o thing_n and_o so_o be_v power_n and_o body_n for_o body_n can_v quit_v power_n nor_o power_n the_o body_n be_v all_o one_o thing_n but_o to_o return_v to_o motion_n my_o opinion_n be_v that_o all_o matter_n be_v partly_o animate_v and_o partly_o inanimate_a and_o all_o matter_n be_v move_v and_o move_v and_o that_o there_o be_v no_o part_n of_o nature_n that_o have_v not_o life_n and_o knowledge_n for_o there_o be_v no_o part_n that_o have_v not_o a_o comixture_n of_o animate_v and_o inanimate_a matter_n and_o though_o the_o inanimate_a matter_n have_v no_o motion_n nor_o life_n and_o knowledge_n of_o itself_o as_o the_o animate_v have_v nevertheless_o be_v both_o so_o close_o join_v and_o commix_v as_o in_o one_o body_n the_o inanimate_a move_v as_o well_o as_o the_o animate_v although_o not_o in_o the_o same_o manner_n for_o the_o animate_v move_v of_o itself_o and_o the_o inanimate_a move_v by_o the_o help_n of_o the_o animate_v and_o thus_o the_o animate_v be_v move_a and_o the_o inanimate_a move_v not_o that_o the_o animate_v matter_n transfer_v infuse_v or_o communicate_v its_o own_o motion_n to_o the_o inanimate_a for_o this_o be_v impossible_a by_o reason_n it_o can_v part_v with_o its_o own_o nature_n nor_o alter_v the_o nature_n of_o inanimate_a matter_n but_o each_o retain_v its_o own_o nature_n for_o the_o

or_o transferr_v its_o motion_n into_o the_o inanimate_a matter_n but_o only_o as_o i_o say_v heretofore_o the_o inanimate_a work_n or_o move_v with_o the_o animate_v because_o of_o their_o close_a union_n and_o commixture_n for_o the_o animate_v force_n or_o cause_v the_o inanimate_a matter_n to_o work_v with_o she_o and_o thus_o one_o be_v move_v the_o other_o move_v and_o consequent_o there_o be_v life_n and_o knowledge_n in_o all_o part_n of_o nature_n by_o reason_n in_o all_o part_n of_o nature_n there_o be_v a_o commixture_n of_o animate_v and_o inanimate_a matter_n and_o this_o life_n and_o knowledge_n be_v sense_n and_o reason_n or_o sensitive_a and_o rational_a corporeal_a motion_n which_o be_v all_o one_o thing_n with_o animate_v matter_n without_o any_o distinction_n or_o

one_o body_n may_v occasion_v another_o body_n to_o move_v so_o or_o so_o but_o not_o give_v it_o any_o motion_n but_o everybody_o though_o occasion_v by_o another_o to_o move_v in_o such_o a_o way_n

the_o light_n we_o see_v in_o the_o air_n may_v be_v only_a pattern_n take_v from_o the_o real_a figure_n of_o the_o light_n of_o the_o sun_n and_o therefore_o if_o it_o be_v according_a to_o the_o

motion_n of_o light_n i_o desire_v you_o to_o consider_v madam_n that_o light_n be_v a_o very_a subtle_a rare_a pierce_a and_o active_a body_n and_o therefore_o its_o motion_n be_v much_o quick_a than_o those_o of_o grosser_n body_n and_o can_v so_o well_o be_v perceive_v by_o our_o gross_a exterior_a sense_n but_o if_o it_o be_v that_o the_o air_n do_v pattern_n out_o the_o light_n of_o the_o

they_o can_v have_v the_o same_o motion_n for_o the_o corporeal_a motion_n do_v make_v the_o nature_n of_o every_o particular_a creature_n and_o their_o difference_n and_o as_o the_o corporeal_a

be_v after_o the_o like_a manner_n in_o every_o particular_a creature_n or_o part_n of_o nature_n as_o for_o example_n that_o a_o stone_n or_o tree_n have_v animal_n motion_n and_o do_v see_v touch_n taste_n smell_v and_o hear_v by_o such_o sensitive_a organ_n as_o a_o animal_n do_v but_o my_o opinion_n be_v that_o all_o sense_n be_v not_o bind_v up_o to_o the_o sensitive_a organ_n of_o a_o

though_o we_o do_v not_o see_v all_o creature_n move_v in_o that_o manner_n as_o man_n or_o animal_n do_v as_o to_o walk_v run_v leap_z ride_v etc._n etc._n and_o perform_v exterior_a act_n by_o

do_v not_o we_o see_v that_o nature_n be_v active_a in_o every_o thing_n yea_o the_o least_o of_o her_o creature_n for_o example_n how_o some_o thing_n do_v unanimous_o conspire_v and_o agree_v other_o antipathetical_o flee_v from_o each_o other_o and_o how_o some_o do_v increase_v other_o decrease_v some_o dissolve_v some_o consist_v and_o how_o all_o thing_n be_v subject_a to_o perpetual_a

as_o well_o as_o external_a alterative_a as_o well_o as_o constitutive_a and_o several_a other_o sort_n of_o motion_n not_o perceptible_a by_o our_o sense_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o all_o creature_n shall_v move_v after_o one_o sort_n of_o motion_n but_o you_o will_v say_v motion_n may_v be_v grant_v but_o not_o life_n sense_n and_o reason_n i_o answer_v i_o will_v fain_o know_v the_o reason_n why_o not_o for_o i_o be_o confident_a that_o no_o man_n can_v in_o truth_n affirm_v the_o contrary_a what_o be_v life_n but_o sensitive_a motion_n what_o be_v reason_n but_o

will_v neither_o know_v why_o whither_o nor_o what_o way_n or_o how_o to_o move_v but_o you_o may_v reply_v motion_n may_v be_v grant_v but_o not_o self-motion_n and_o life_n sense_n and_o reason_n do_v consist_v in_o self-motion_n i_o answer_v this_o be_v impossible_a for_o not_o any_o thing_n in_o nature_n can_v move_v natural_o without_o natural_a motion_n and_o all_o natural_a motion_n be_v self-motion_n if_o you_o say_v it_o may_v be_v move_v by_o another_o my_o answer_n be_v first_o that_o if_o a_o thing_n have_v no_o motion_n in_o itself_o but_o be_v move_v by_o another_o which_o have_v self-motion_n than_o it_o must_v give_v that_o immovable_a body_n motion_n of_o its_o own_o or_o else_o it_o can_v not_o move_v have_v no_o motion_n at_o all_o for_o it_o must_v move_v by_o the_o power_n of_o motion_n which_o be_v certain_a and_o than_o it_o must_v move_v either_o by_o its_o own_o motion_n or_o by_o a_o communicate_v or_o impart_v motion_n if_o by_o a_o communicate_v motion_n than_o the_o self-moveable_a thing_n or_o body_n must_v transfer_v its_o own_o motion_n into_o the_o immovable_a and_o lose_v so_o much_o of_o its_o own_o motion_n as_o it_o give_v away_o which_o be_v impossible_a as_o i_o have_v declare_v heretofore_o at_o large_a unless_o it_o do_v also_o transfer_v its_o move_a part_n together_o with_o it_o for_o motion_n can_v be_v transfer_v without_o substance_n but_o experience_n and_o observation_n witness_v the_o contrary_a next_o i_o say_v if_o it_o be_v possible_a that_o one_o body_n do_v move_v another_o then_o most_o part_n of_o natural_a creature_n which_o be_v count_v immovable_a of_o themselves_o or_o inanimate_a and_o destitute_a of_o self-motion_n must_v be_v move_v by_o a_o force_a or_o violent_a and_o not_o by_o a_o natural_a motion_n for_o all_o motion_n that_o proceed_v from_o a_o external_a agent_n or_o move_a power_n be_v not_o natural_a but_o force_v only_a self-motion_n be_v natural_a and_o then_o one_o thing_n move_v another_o in_o this_o manner_n we_o must_v at_o last_o proceed_v to_o such_o a_o thing_n which_o be_v not_o move_v by_o another_o but_o have_v motion_n in_o itself_o and_o move_v all_o other_o and_o perhaps_o since_o man_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o animal_n have_v self-motion_n it_o may_v be_v say_v that_o the_o motion_n of_o all_o other_o inanimate_a creature_n as_o they_o call_v they_o do_v proceed_v from_o they_o but_o man_n be_v so_o proud_a ambitious_a and_o self-conceited_a will_v soon_o exclude_v all_o other_o animal_n and_o ascribe_v this_o power_n only_o to_o himself_o especial_o since_o he_o think_v himself_o only_o endue_v with_o reason_n and_o to_o have_v this_o prerogative_n above_o all_o the_o rest_n as_o to_o be_v the_o sole_a rational_a creature_n in_o the_o world_n thus_o you_o see_v madam_n what_o confusion_n absurdity_n and_o constrain_v work_n will_v follow_v from_o the_o opinion_n of_o deny_v self-motion_n and_o so_o consequent_o life_n and_o sense_n to_o natural_a creature_n but_o i_o have_v make_v too_o long_o a_o digresion_n will_v return_v to_o your_o author_n discourse_n and_o as_o for_o that_o he_o say_v a_o dead_a carcase_n burn_v by_o the_o proper_a action_n of_o the_o fire_n i_o answer_v that_o if_o the_o dissolve_v motion_n of_o the_o fire_n be_v too_o strong_a for_o the_o consistent_a motion_n of_o that_o body_n which_o fire_n work_v upon_o than_o fire_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o its_o alteration_n but_o if_o the_o consistent_a motion_n of_o the_o body_n be_v too_o strong_a for_o the_o dissolve_v motion_n of_o the_o fire_n than_o the_o fire_n can_v make_v no_o alteration_n in_o it_o again_o he_o say_v calx_fw-la vive_fw-la as_o long_o as_o it_o remain_v dry_a it_o gnaw_v not_o a_o dead_a carcase_n but_o it_o present_o

but_o it_o do_v not_o consume_v live_a flesh_n into_o a_o liquor_n but_o translate_v it_o into_o a_o escharre_n i_o will_v say_v no_o more_o to_o this_o but_o that_o i_o have_v full_o enough_o declare_v my_o opinion_n before_o that_o the_o action_n or_o motion_n of_o life_n alter_v in_o that_o which_o be_v name_v a_o dead_a carcase_n from_o what_o they_o be_v in_o that_o which_o be_v call_v a_o live_a body_n but_o although_o the_o action_n of_o life_n alter_v yet_o life_n be_v not_o go_v or_o annihilate_v for_o life_n be_v life_n and_o remain_v still_o the_o same_o but_o the_o action_n or_o motion_n of_o life_n change_n and_o differ_v in_o every_o figure_n and_o this_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o the_o action_n of_o fire_n time_n and_o calxvive_a have_v not_o the_o same_o effect_n in_o a_o dead_a carcase_n as_o in_o a_o live_a body_n for_o the_o difference_n of_o their_o figure_n and_o their_o different_a motion_n produce_v different_a effect_n in_o they_o and_o this_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o one_o and_o the_o same_o fire_n do_v not_o burn_v or_o act_v upon_o all_o body_n alike_o for_o some_o it_o dissolve_v and_o some_o not_o and_o some_o it_o harden_v and_o some_o it_o consume_v and_o some_o late_a some_o soon_o for_o put_v thing_n of_o several_a nature_n into_o the_o same_o fire_n and_o you_o will_v see_v how_o they_o will_v burn_v or_o how_o fire_n will_v act_v upon_o they_o after_o several_a manner_n so_o that_o fire_n can_v alter_v the_o action_n of_o several_a body_n to_o its_o own_o blas_fw-es and_o therefore_o since_o a_o live_n and_o a_o dead_a body_n as_o they_o call_v they_o be_v not_o the_o same_o for_o the_o action_n or_o motion_n of_o life_n by_o their_o change_n or_o alteration_n have_v alter_v the_o nature_n or_o figure_n of_o the_o

to_o know_v the_o cause_n why_o a_o man_n be_v more_o weak_a at_o the_o latter_a end_n of_o a_o disease_n then_o at_o the_o beginning_n and_o be_v a_o long_a time_n recover_v health_n then_o lose_v health_n as_o also_o the_o reason_n of_o relapse_n and_o intermission_n first_o as_o for_o weakness_n and_o strength_n my_o opinion_n be_v they_o be_v cause_v by_o the_o regular_a and_o irregular_a motion_n in_o several_a part_n each_o strive_v to_o overpower_v the_o other_o in_o their_o conflict_n and_o when_o a_o man_n recover_v from_o a_o disease_n although_o the_o regular_a motion_n have_v

motion_n to_o tend_v to_o its_o former_a state_n wherefore_o when_o the_o line_n move_v backward_o or_o forward_o it_o be_v not_o that_o the_o line_n get_v what_o it_o have_v not_o before_o that_o be_v a_o new_a corporeal_a motion_n but_o it_o use_v its_o own_o motion_n only_o as_o i_o say_v that_o exterior_a body_n be_v the_o occasion_n that_o it_o move_v after_o such_o a_o manner_n or_o way_n and_o therefore_o this_o motion_n of_o the_o line_n although_o it_o be_v the_o line_n own_o motion_n yet_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o exterior_a body_n that_o cause_v it_o to_o move_v that_o way_n it_o may_v be_v call_v a_o force_v or_o rather_o a_o occasion_v motion_n and_o thus_o no_o body_n can_v get_v motion_n from_o another_o body_n except_o it_o get_v matter_n too_o for_o all_o that_o motion_n that_o a_o body_n have_v proceed_v from_o the_o self-moving_a part_n of_o matter_n and_o motion_n and_o matter_n be_v but_o one_o thing_n neither_o be_v there_o any_o inanimate_a part_n of_o matter_n in_o nature_n which_o be_v not_o comixed_n with_o the_o animate_v and_o consequent_o there_o be_v no_o part_n which_o be_v not_o move_v or_o move_v the_o animate_v part_n of_o matter_n be_v the_o

throw_v a_o bowl_n or_o strike_v a_o ball_n with_o my_o hand_n whether_o the_o motion_n by_o which_o the_o bowl_n or_o ball_n be_v move_v be_v the_o hand_n or_o the_o ball_n own_o motion_n or_o whether_o it_o be_v transfer_v out_o of_o my_o hand_n into_o the_o ball_n to_o which_o i_o return_v this_o short_a answer_n that_o the_o motion_n by_o which_o for_o example_n the_o bowl_n be_v move_v be_v the_o bowl_n own_o motion_n and_o not_o the_o hand_n that_o throw_v it_o for_o the_o hand_n can_v transfer_v its_o own_o motion_n which_o have_v a_o material_a be_v out_o of_o itself_o into_o the_o bowl_n or_o any_o other_o thing_n it_o handle_v touch_n or_o move_v or_o else_o if_o it_o do_v the_o hand_n will_v in_o a_o short_a time_n become_v weak_a and_o useless_a by_o lose_v so_o much_o substance_n unless_o new_a motion_n be_v as_o fast_o create_v as_o expend_v you_o will_v say_v perhaps_o that_o the_o hand_n and_o the_o bowl_n may_v exchange_v motion_n as_o that_o the_o bowl_n own_o motion_n do_v enter_v into_o the_o hand_n and_o supply_v that_o motion_n which_o go_v out_o of_o the_o hand_n into_o the_o bowl_n by_o a_o close_a join_n or_o touch_n for_o in_o all_o thing_n move_v and_o move_v must_v be_v a_o join_n of_o the_o mover_n to_o the_o move_v either_o immediate_a or_o by_o the_o mean_n of_o another_o body_n i_o answer_v that_o this_o be_v more_o probable_a then_o that_o the_o hand_n shall_v give_v out_o or_o impart_v motion_n to_o the_o bowl_n and_o receive_v none_o from_o the_o bowl_n but_o by_o reason_n motion_n can_v be_v transfer_v without_o matter_n as_o be_v both_o inseparable_o unite_v and_o but_o one_o thing_n i_o can_v think_v it_o probable_a that_o any_o of_o the_o animate_v or_o self-moving_a matter_n in_o the_o hand_n quit_v the_o hand_n and_o enter_v into_o the_o bowl_n nor_o that_o the_o animate_v matter_n which_o be_v in_o the_o bowl_n leave_v the_o bowl_n and_o enter_v into_o the_o hand_n because_o that_o self-moving_a substance_n be_v not_o ready_o prepare_v for_o so_o sudden_a a_o translation_n or_o transmigration_n you_o may_v say_v it_o may_v as_o easy_o be_v do_v as_o food_n be_v receive_v into_o a_o animal_n body_n and_o excrement_n discharge_v or_o as_o air_n be_v take_v in_o and_o breath_n send_v out_o by_o the_o way_n of_o respiration_n and_o that_o all_o creature_n be_v not_o only_o produce_v from_o each_o other_o but_o do_v subsist_v by_o each_o other_o and_o act_n by_o each_o other_o assistance_n i_o answer_v it_o be_v very_o true_a that_o all_o creature_n have_v more_o power_n and_o strength_n by_o a_o join_a assistance_n then_o if_o every_o part_n be_v single_a and_o subsist_v of_o itself_o but_o as_o some_o part_n do_v assist_v each_o other_o so_o on_o the_o other_o side_n some_o part_n do_v resist_v each_o other_o for_o though_o there_o be_v a_o unity_n in_o the_o nature_n of_o infinite_a matter_n yet_o there_o be_v division_n also_o in_o the_o infinite_a part_n of_o infinite_a matter_n which_o cause_v antipathy_n as_o much_o as_o sympathy_n but_o they_o be_v equal_a in_o assistance_n as_o well_o as_o in_o resistance_n it_o cause_v a_o conformity_n in_o the_o whole_a nature_n of_o infinite_a matter_n for_o if_o there_o be_v not_o contrary_a or_o rather_o i_o may_v say_v different_a effect_n proceed_v from_o the_o only_a cause_n which_o be_v the_o only_a matter_n there_o can_v not_o possible_o be_v any_o or_o at_o least_o so_o much_o variety_n in_o nature_n as_o humane_a sense_n and_o reason_n perceive_v there_o be_v but_o to_o return_v to_o our_o first_o argument_n you_o may_v say_v that_o motion_n may_v be_v transfer_v out_o of_o one_o body_n into_o another_o without_o transfer_v any_o of_o the_o matter_n i_o answer_v that_o be_v impossible_a unless_o motion_n be_v that_o which_o some_o call_v nothing_o but_o how_o nothing_o can_v be_v transfer_v i_o can_v imagine_v indeed_o no_o sense_n and_o reason_n in_o nature_n can_v conceive_v that_o which_o be_v nothing_o for_o how_o shall_v it_o conceive_v that_o which_o be_v not_o in_o nature_n to_o be_v find_v you_o will_v say_v perhaps_o it_o be_v a_o substanceless_a thing_n or_o a_o incorporeal_a immaterial_a be_v or_o form_n i_o answer_v in_o my_o opinion_n it_o be_v a_o mere_a contradiction_n to_o say_v a_o substanceless_a thing_n form_n or_o be_v for_o sure_o in_o nature_n it_o can_v be_v but_o if_o it_o be_v not_o possible_a that_o motion_n can_v be_v divide_v from_o matter_n you_o may_v say_v that_o body_n from_o whence_o the_o motion_n be_v transfer_v will_v become_v less_o in_o bulk_n and_o weight_n and_o weak_a with_o every_o act_n of_o motion_n and_o those_o body_n into_o which_o corporeal_a motion_n or_o self-moving_a matter_n be_v receive_v will_v grow_v big_a heavy_a and_o strong_a to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n which_o deny_v that_o there_o can_v be_v a_o translation_n of_o motion_n out_o of_o the_o move_a body_n into_o the_o move_v for_o questionless_a the_o one_o will_v grow_v less_o and_o the_o other_o big_a that_o by_o lose_v so_o much_o substance_n this_o by_o receive_v nay_o if_o it_o be_v possible_a as_o it_o be_v not_o that_o motion_n can_v be_v transfer_v without_o matter_n the_o body_n out_o of_o which_o it_o go_v will_v nevertheless_o grow_v weak_a for_o the_o strength_n lie_v in_o the_o motion_n unless_o you_o believe_v this_o motion_n which_o be_v transfer_v to_o have_v be_v useless_a in_o the_o mover_n and_o only_o useful_a to_o the_o move_v or_o else_o it_o will_v be_v superfluous_a in_o the_o move_v except_o you_o say_v it_o become_v to_o be_v annihilate_v after_o it_o be_v transfer_v and_o have_v do_v its_o effect_n but_o if_o so_o then_o there_o will_v be_v a_o perpetual_a and_o infinite_a creation_n and_o annihilation_n of_o substanceless_a motion_n and_o how_o there_o can_v be_v a_o creation_n and_o annihilation_n of_o nothing_o my_o reason_n can_v conceive_v neither_o be_v it_o possible_a unless_o nature_n have_v more_o power_n than_o god_n to_o create_v nothing_o and_o to_o annihilate_v nothing_o the_o truth_n be_v it_o be_v more_o probable_a for_o sense_n and_o reason_n to_o believe_v a_o creation_n of_o something_o out_o of_o nothing_o than_o a_o creation_n of_o nothing_o out_o of_o nothing_o wherefore_o it_o can_v in_o sense_n and_o reason_n be_v that_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o hand_n be_v transfer_v into_o the_o bowl_n but_o yet_o i_o do_v not_o say_v that_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o hand_n do_v not_o contribute_v to_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o bowl_n for_o though_o the_o bowl_n have_v its_o own_o natural_a motion_n
heat_n be_v not_o corporeal_a but_o that_o those_o corporeal_a motion_n which_o make_v heat_n work_v invisible_o and_o not_o visible_o like_a as_o fire_n feed_v on_o fuel_n or_o man_n on_o meat_n also_o when_o i_o say_v excercise_n among_o animal_n get_v ibid._n strength_n i_o mean_v that_o by_o excercise_n the_o inherent_a natural_a motion_n of_o a_o animal_n body_n be_v more_o active_a as_o be_v more_o industrious_a when_o i_o say_v that_o the_o passage_n whence_o cold_a and_o sharp_a 45._o wind_n do_v issue_n out_o be_v narrow_a i_o mean_v when_o as_o such_o or_o such_o part_n disjoin_v

nature_n of_o those_o part_n they_o disjoin_v from_o concern_v the_o action_n of_o nature_n my_o meaning_n be_v that_o there_o be_v not_o any_o action_n whatsoever_o but_o be_v always_o in_o nature_n and_o remain_v in_o nature_n so_o long_o as_o it_o please_v god_n that_o nature_n shall_v last_v and_o of_o all_o her_o action_n perception_n and_o self-love_n be_v she_o prime_n and_o chief_a

particle_n of_o nature_n that_o have_v not_o its_o share_n of_o animate_v or_o self-moving_a matter_n and_o consequent_o of_o knowledge_n and_o self-love_n each_o according_a to_o its_o own_o kind_a and_o nature_n but_o by_o reason_n all_o the_o part_n be_v of_o one_o matter_n and_o belong_v to_o one_o body_n each_o be_v unalterable_a so_o far_o that_o although_o it_o can_v change_v its_o figure_n yet_o it_o can_v change_v or_o alter_v from_o be_v matter_n or_o a_o part_n of_o infinite_a nature_n and_o this_o be_v the_o cause_n there_o can_v be_v a_o confusion_n among_o those_o part_n of_o nature_n but_o there_o must_v be_v a_o constant_a union_n and_o harmony_n betwixt_o they_o for_o cross_v and_o opposite_a action_n make_v no_o confusion_n but_o only_o a_o variety_n and_o such_o

after_o the_o sensitive_a print_n that_o be_v after_o the_o figure_n make_v by_o the_o sensitive_a motion_n thus_o by_o print_n i_o understand_v pattern_n and_o by_o print_v patterning_a not_o that_o the_o exterior_a object_n print_v its_o figure_n upon_o the_o exterior_a sensitive_a organ_n but_o that_o the_o sensitive_a motion_n in_o the_o organ_n pattern_n out_o the_o figure_n of_o the_o

those_o imagination_n proceed_v only_o from_o the_o agitation_n of_o the_o inward_a part_n of_o man_n body_n which_o for_o the_o connexion_n they_o have_v with_o the_o brain_n and_o other_o organ_n

motion_n from_o move_v exterious_o to_o move_v interious_o and_o from_o work_v after_o a_o pattern_n to_o work_v by_o rote_n i_o do_v not_o say_v that_o the_o body_n be_v without_o all_o exterior_a motion_n when_o asleep_a as_o breathe_v and_o beat_v of_o the_o pulse_n although_o these_o motion_n be_v rather_o interior_a then_o exterior_a but_o that_o only_o the_o sensitive_a organ_n be_v outward_o shut_v so_o as_o not_o to_o receive_v the_o pattern_n of_o outward_a object_n nevertheless_o the_o sensitive_a motion_n do_v not_o cease_v from_o move_v inward_o or_o on_o the_o inside_n of_o the_o sensitive_a organ_n but_o the_o rational_a matter_n do_v often_o as_o awake_v so_o asleep_a or_o in_o dream_n make_v such_o figure_n as_o the_o sensitive_a do_v never_o make_v either_o from_o outward_a object_n or_o of_o its_o own_o accord_n for_o the_o sensitive_a have_v sometime_o liberty_n to_o work_v without_o object_n but_o the_o rational_a much_o more_o which_o be_v not_o

the_o mouth_n be_v the_o chief_a organ_n to_o receive_v air_n and_o to_o let_v out_o breathe_v but_o though_o they_o be_v common_a passage_n for_o air_n and_o breath_n yet_o taste_n be_v only_o make_v

light_a colour_n and_o other_o object_n at_o once_o which_o i_o think_v can_v hardly_o be_v do_v by_o pressure_n and_o the_o reason_n be_v that_o the_o sensitive_a motion_n in_o the_o sensitive_a

like_a seem_v not_o so_o strong_a to_o our_o smell_n the_o reason_n be_v that_o their_o part_n be_v close_o and_o unite_a the_o sensitive_a motion_n in_o the_o organ_n can_v so_o ready_o perceive_v and_o pattern_n they_o out_o as_o those_o body_n which_o be_v more_o porous_a and_o divide_v but_o as_o for_o the_o wind_n blow_v the_o send_v either_o to_o or_o from_o the_o sentient_a it_o be_v like_o a_o window_n or_o door_n that_o by_o the_o motion_n of_o open_v and_o shut_v hinder_v or_o disturb_v the_o sight_n for_o body_n come_v between_o the_o object_n and_o the_o organ_n make_v a_o stop_n of_o that_o perception_n and_o as_o for_o the_o dog_n smell_v out_o the_o tract_n of_o beast_n the_o cause_n be_v that_o the_o earth_n or_o ground_n have_v take_v a_o copy_n of_o that_o send_v which_o copy_n the_o sensitive_a motion_n in_o the_o nose_n of_o the_o dog_n do_v pattern_n out_o and_o so_o long_o as_o that_o figure_n or_o copy_n last_v the_o dog_n perceive_v the_o scent_n but_o if_o he_o do_v not_o follow_v or_o hunt_v ready_o then_o there_o be_v either_o no_o perfect_a copy_n make_v by_o the_o ground_n or_o otherwise_o he_o can_v find_v it_o which_o cause_v he_o to_o seek_v and_o smell_v about_o until_o he_o have_v it_o and_o thus_o smell_n be_v not_o make_v by_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o air_n but_o by_o the_o figure_v motion_n in_o the_o nose_n where_o it_o be_v also_o

servant_n xliv_o madam_n iam_fw-la very_o ready_a to_o give_v you_o my_o opinion_n of_o those_o two_o question_n you_o send_v i_o whereof_o the_o first_o be_v whether_o that_o which_o be_v rare_a and_o subtle_a be_v not_o withal_o pure_a to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o all_o rare_a body_n be_v not_o subtle_a nor_o pure_a and_o that_o all_o which_o be_v dense_a be_v not_o gross_a and_o dull_a as_o for_o example_n puddle-water_n or_o also_o clear_a water_n be_v rare_a than_o quicksilver_n and_o yet_o not_o so_o subtle_a and_o pure_a as_o quicksilver_n the_o like_a of_o gold_n for_o quicksilver_n and_o gold_n may_v be_v rarify_v to_o a_o transparentness_n and_o yet_o be_v so_o dense_a as_o not_o to_o be_v easy_o dissolve_v and_o quicksilver_n be_v very_o subtle_a and_o search_a so_o as_o to_o be_v able_a to_o force_v other_o body_n to_o divide_v as_o well_o as_o it_o can_v divide_v and_o compose_v its_o own_o part_n wherefore_o my_o opinion_n be_v that_o the_o pure_a and_o subtle_a degree_n of_o matter_n in_o nature_n be_v that_o degree_n of_o matter_n which_o can_v dilate_v and_o contract_v compose_v and_o divide_v into_o any_o figure_n by_o corporeal_a self-motion_n your_o second_o question_n be_v why_o a_o man_n hand_n can_v break_v a_o little_a hard_a body_n as_o a_o little_a nail_n whereas_o yet_o it_o be_v big_a than_o the_o nail_n i_o answer_v it_o be_v not_o because_o the_o hand_n be_v soft_a than_o the_o nail_n for_o one_o hard_a body_n will_v not_o break_v sudden_o another_o hard_a body_n and_o a_o man_n may_v easy_o break_v a_o iron_n nail_n with_o his_o hand_n as_o i_o have_v be_v inform_v but_o it_o be_v some_o kind_n of_o motion_n which_o can_v easy_o do_v it_o than_o another_o for_o i_o have_v see_v a_o strong_a cord_n wound_v about_o both_o a_o man_n hand_n who_o pull_v his_o hand_n as_o hard_a and_o strong_o asunder_o as_o he_o can_v and_o yet_o be_v not_o able_a to_o break_v it_o when_o as_o a_o youth_n take_v the_o same_o cord_n and_o wind_v it_o about_o his_o hand_n as_o the_o former_a do_v immediate_o break_v it_o the_o cause_n be_v that_o he_o do_v it_o with_o another_o kind_n of_o motion_n or_o pull_v than_o the_o other_o do_v which_o though_o he_o use_v as_o much_o force_n and_o strength_n as_o he_o be_v able_a yet_o can_v not_o break_v it_o when_o the_o boy_n do_v break_v it_o with_o the_o great_a ease_n and_o turn_v only_o his_o hand_n a_o little_a which_o show_v that_o many_o thing_n may_v be_v do_v by_o a_o slight_a of_o motion_n which_o otherwise_o a_o great_a strength_n and_o force_n can_v do_v this_o be_v my_o answer_n and_o opinion_n concern_v your_o propose_a question_n if_o you_o have_v any_o more_o i_o shall_v be_v ready_a to_o obey_v you_o as_o madam_n your_o faithful_a friend_n and_o

such_o rare_a body_n as_o be_v not_o subject_a to_o our_o exterior_a sense_n as_o well_o as_o there_o be_v element_n which_o be_v not_o subject_a to_o all_o our_o exterior_a sense_n as_o for_o example_n fire_n be_v only_a subject_n to_o our_o sight_n and_o feeling_n and_o not_o to_o any_o other_o sense_n water_n be_v subject_a to_o our_o sight_n taste_n touch_n and_o hear_n but_o not_o to_o

our_o hear_n but_o pure_a air_n be_v not_o subject_a to_o any_o of_o our_o sense_n but_o only_o know_v by_o its_o effect_n and_o so_o there_o may_v likewise_o be_v animal_n creature_n which_o be_v not_o subject_a to_o any_o of_o our_o sense_n both_o for_o their_o purity_n and_o life_n as_o for_o example_n i_o have_v see_v pump_v out_o of_o a_o water_n pump_v small_a worm_n which_o can_v hardly_o be_v discern_v but_o by_o a_o bright_a sun-light_n for_o they_o be_v small_a than_o the_o small_a hair_n some_o of_o a_o pure_a scarlet_a colour_n and_o some_o white_a but_o though_o they_o be_v the_o small_a creature_n that_o ever_o i_o do_v see_v yet_o they_o be_v more_o agile_a and_o full_a of_o life_n than_o many_o a_o creature_n of_o a_o big_a size_n and_o so_o small_a they_o be_v as_o i_o be_o confident_a they_o be_v neither_o subject_n to_o taste_v smell_v touch_n nor_o hear_n but_o only_o to_o sight_n and_o that_o neither_o without_o difficulty_n require_v both_o a_o sharp_a sight_n and_o a_o clear_a light_n to_o perceive_v they_o and_o i_o do_v very_o believe_v that_o these_o small_a animal_n creature_n may_v be_v great_a in_o comparison_n to_o other_o which_o may_v be_v in_o nature_n but_o if_o it_o be_v probable_a that_o there_o may_v be_v such_o small_a animal_n creature_n in_o nature_n as_o be_v not_o subject_a to_o our_o exterior_a sense_n by_o reason_n of_o their_o littleness_n it_o be_v also_o probable_a that_o there_o may_v be_v such_o great_a and_o big_a animal_n creature_n in_o nature_n as_o be_v beyond_o the_o reach_n and_o knowledge_n of_o our_o exterior_a sense_n for_o bigness_n and_o smallness_n be_v not_o to_o be_v judge_v by_o our_o exterior_a sense_n only_o but_o as_o sense_n and_o reason_n inform_v we_o that_o there_o be_v different_a degree_n in_o purity_n and_o rarity_n so_o also_o in_o shape_n figure_n and_o size_n in_o all_o natural_a creature_n next_o you_o desire_v to_o know_v whether_o there_o can_v be_v a_o artificial_a life_n or_o a_o life_n make_v by_o art_n my_o answer_n be_v not_o for_o although_o there_o be_v life_n in_o all_o nature_n part_n yet_o not_o all_o the_o part_n be_v life_n for_o there_o be_v one_o part_n of_o natural_a matter_n which_o in_o its_o nature_n be_v inanimate_a or_o without_o life_n and_o though_o natural_a life_n do_v produce_v art_n yet_o art_n can_v produce_v natural_a life_n for_o though_o art_n be_v the_o action_n of_o life_n yet_o it_o be_v not_o life_n itself_o not_o but_o that_o there_o be_v life_n in_o art_n but_o not_o art_n in_o life_n for_o life_n be_v natural_a and_o not_o artificial_a and_o thus_o the_o several_a part_n of_o a_o watch_n may_v have_v sense_n and_o reason_n according_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o their_o natural_a figure_n which_o be_v steel_n but_o not_o as_o they_o have_v a_o artificial_a shape_n for_o art_n can_v put_v life_n into_o the_o watch_n life_n be_v only_o natural_a not_o artificial_a last_o your_o desire_n be_v to_o know_v whether_o a_o part_n of_o matter_n may_v be_v so_o small_a as_o it_o can_v be_v make_v less_o i_o answer_v there_o be_v no_o such_o thing_n in_o nature_n as_o big_a or_o least_o nature_n be_v infinite_a as_o well_o in_o her_o action_n as_o in_o her_o substance_n and_o i_o have_v mention_v in_o my_o book_n of_o philosophy_n and_o in_o a_o letter_n i_o send_v you_o heretofore_o concern_v infinite_a that_o there_o be_v several_a fort_n of_o infinite_n as_o infinite_a in_o quantity_n or_o bulk_n infinite_a in_o number_n infinite_a in_o quality_n as_o infinite_a degree_n of_o hardness_n softness_n thickness_n thinness_n swiftness_n slowness_n etc._n etc._n as_o also_o infinite_a composition_n division_n creation_n dissolution_n etc._n etc._n in_o nature_n and_o my_o meaning_n be_v that_o all_o these_o infinite_a action_n do_v belong_v to_o the_o infinite_a body_n of_o nature_n which_o be_v infinite_a in_o substance_n must_v also_o of_o necessity_n be_v infinite_a in_o its_o

by_o reason_n there_o be_v contrary_n in_o nature_n and_o every_o one_o of_o the_o aforementioned_a action_n have_v its_o opposite_a they_o do_v hinder_v and_o obstruct_v each_o other_o so_o that_o

the_o sensitive_a which_o be_v the_o life_n of_o nature_n as_o the_o other_o be_v the_o soul_n not_o the_o divine_a but_o natural_a soul_n neither_o be_v this_o soul_n immaterial_a but_o corporeal_a

close_a unite_n of_o the_o part_n of_o water_n be_v cause_v through_o its_o wet_a and_o glutinous_a quality_n which_o wet_a and_o stick_a quality_n be_v cause_v by_o a_o watery_a dilatation_n for_o though_o water_n have_v not_o interious_o so_o rare_a a_o dilatation_n as_o air_n fire_n and_o light_n yet_o it_o have_v not_o so_o close_a a_o contraction_n as_o earth_n stone_n or_o metal_n

than_o water_n metal_n earth_n or_o transparent-stone_n and_o yet_o be_v of_o a_o dilative_a nature_n but_o because_o some_o body_n and_o figure_n which_o be_v transparent_a and_o smooth_a be_v

effect_n must_v of_o necessity_n be_v infinite_a also_o the_o cause_n be_v infinite_a in_o its_o substance_n the_o effect_n be_v infinite_a in_o number_n and_o this_o be_v my_o meaning_n when_o i_o

in_o number_n make_v by_o the_o infinite_a variation_n of_o motion_n in_o infinite_a matter_n these_o part_n have_v perfect_a or_o exact_a figure_n consider_v as_o part_n that_o be_v single_a or_o each_o in_o its_o particular_a figure_n and_o therefore_o if_o there_o be_v infinite_a degree_n consider_v the_o effect_n of_o the_o animate_v and_o inanimate_a matter_n infinite_a motion_n for_o

can_v there_o be_v something_o big_a or_o small_a strong_a or_o weak_a heavy_a or_o light_a soft_a or_o hard_a in_o infinite_a nature_n or_o her_o part_n but_o all_o those_o several_a infinite_n be_v as_o it_o be_v include_v in_o one_o infinite_a which_o be_v corporeal_a nature_n or_o natural_a matter_n next_o you_o desire_v my_o opinion_n of_o vacuum_n whether_o there_o be_v any_o or_o not_o for_o you_o say_v i_o determine_v nothing_o of_o it_o in_o my_o book_n of_o philosophical_a opinion_n true_o madam_n my_o sense_n and_o reason_n can_v believe_v a_o vacuum_n because_o there_o can_v

for_o matter_n motion_n figure_n place_n magnitude_n etc._n etc._n be_v but_o one_o thing_n but_o some_o man_n perceive_v the_o alteration_n but_o not_o the_o subtle_a motion_n believe_v that_o body_n move_v into_o each_o other_o place_n which_o be_v impossible_a because_o several_a place_n be_v only_o several_a part_n so_o that_o unless_o one_o part_n can_v make_v itself_o another_o part_n no_o

no_o more_o than_o nature_n can_v be_v nature_n and_o not_o nature_n wherefore_o change_n of_o place_n be_v only_a change_n of_o motion_n and_o this_o change_n of_o motion_n make_v alteration_n of_o figure_n three_o you_o say_v you_o can_v understand_v what_o i_o mean_v by_o creation_n for_o you_o think_v that_o creation_n be_v a_o production_n or_o make_v of_o something_o out_o of_o nothing_o to_o tell_v you_o real_o madam_n this_o word_n be_v use_v by_o i_o for_o want_n of_o a_o better_a expression_n and_o i_o do_v not_o take_v it_o in_o so_o strict_a a_o sense_n as_o to_o understand_v by_o it_o a_o divine_a or_o supernatural_a creation_n which_o only_o belong_v to_o god_n but_o a_o natural_a creation_n that_o be_v a_o natural_a production_n or_o generation_n for_o nature_n can_v create_v or_o produce_v something_o out_o of_o nothing_o and_o this_o production_n may_v be_v take_v in_o a_o double_a sense_n first_o in_o general_n as_o for_o example_n when_o it_o be_v say_v that_o all_o creature_n be_v produce_v out_o of_o infinite_a matter_n and_o in_o this_o respect_n every_o particular_a creature_n which_o be_v finite_a that_o be_v of_o a_o circumscribe_v and_o limit_v figure_n be_v produce_v of_o infinite_a matter_n as_o be_v a_o part_n thereof_o next_o production_n be_v take_v in_o a_o more_o strict_a sense_n to_o wit_n when_o one_o single_a creature_n be_v produce_v from_o another_o and_o this_o be_v either_o generation_n proper_o so_o call_v as_o when_o in_o every_o kind_n and_o sort_n each_o particular_a produce_v its_o like_a or_o it_o be_v such_o a_o generation_n whereby_o one_o creature_n produce_v another_o each_o be_v of_o a_o different_a kind_n or_o species_n as_o for_o example_n when_o a_o animal_n produce_v a_o mineral_n as_o when_o a_o

the_o number_n of_o kind_n i_o answer_v i_o mean_v in_o general_a the_o infinite_a effect_n of_o nature_n which_o be_v infinite_a in_o number_n and_o the_o several_a kind_n or_o sort_n of_o creature_n be_v infinite_a in_o duration_n for_o nothing_o can_v perish_v in_o nature_n five_o when_o i_o say_v that_o ascend_v and_o descend_v 20._o be_v often_o cause_v by_o the_o exterior_a figure_n or_o

and_o nimble_o then_o a_o worm_n your_o opinion_n be_v that_o his_o exterior_a shape_n do_v not_o contribute_v any_o thing_n towards_o his_o fly_n by_o reason_n a_o bird_n be_v dead_a retain_v the_o same_o shape_n but_o yet_o can_v fly_v at_o all_o but_o true_o madam_n i_o will_v not_o have_v you_o think_v that_o i_o do_v exclude_v the_o proper_a and_o interior_a natural_a motion_n of_o the_o figure_n of_o a_o bird_n and_o the_o natural_a and_o proper_a motion_n of_o every_o part_n and_o particle_n thereof_o for_o that_o a_o bird_n when_o dead_a keep_v his_o shape_n and_o yet_o can_v fly_v the_o reason_n be_v that_o the_o natural_a and_o internal_a motion_n of_o the_o bird_n and_o the_o bird_n wing_n be_v alter_v towards_o some_o other_o shape_n or_o figure_n if_o not_o exterious_o yet_o interious_o but_o yet_o the_o interior_a natural_a motion_n can_v not_o effect_v any_o fly_a or_o ascend_v without_o the_o help_n of_o the_o exterior_a shape_n for_o a_o man_n or_o any_o other_o animal_n may_v have_v the_o same_o interior_a motion_n as_o a_o bird_n have_v but_o want_v such_o a_o exterior_a shape_n he_o can_v fly_v whereas_o have_v he_o wing_n like_o a_o bird_n and_o the_o interior_a natural_a motion_n of_o those_o wing_n he_o may_v without_o doubt_n fly_v as_o well_o as_o a_o bird_n do_v six_o concern_v the_o descent_n of_o heavy_a body_n 21._o that_o it_o be_v more_o forcible_a than_o the_o ascent_n of_o light_a body_n you_o do_v question_v the_o truth_n of_o this_o my_o opinion_n certain_o madam_n i_o can_v conceive_v it_o to_o be_v otherwise_o by_o my_o sense_n and_o reason_n for_o though_o fire_n that_o be_v rare_a do_v ascend_v with_o a_o extraordinary_a quick_a motion_n yet_o this_o motion_n be_v in_o my_o opinion_n not_o so_o strong_a and_o pierce_a as_o when_o grosser_n part_n of_o creature_n do_v descend_v but_o there_o be_v difference_n in_o strength_n and_o quickness_n for_o have_v not_o water_v a_o strong_a motion_n and_o another_o sort_n of_o figure_n then_o fire_n it_o can_v not_o suppress_v fire_n much_o less_o quench_v it_o but_o smoak_n which_o be_v heavy_a than_o flame_n fly_v up_o or_o rise_v before_o or_o rather_o above_o it_o wherefore_o i_o be_o still_o of_o the_o same_o opinion_n that_o heavy_a body_n descend_v more_o forcible_o then_o light_a body_n do_v ascend_v and_o it_o seem_v most_o rational_a to_o i_o last_o i_o perceive_v you_o can_v believe_v that_o all_o body_n have_v weight_n by_o reason_n if_o this_o be_v so_o the_o sun_n and_o the_o star_n will_v have_v long_a since_o cover_v the_o earth_n in_o answer_n to_o this_o objection_n i_o say_v that_o as_o there_o can_v be_v no_o body_n without_o figure_n and_o magnitude_n so_o consequent_o not_o without_o weight_n be_v it_o no_o big_a than_o a_o atom_n and_o as_o for_o the_o sun_n be_v and_o the_o star_n not_o fall_v down_o or_o rise_v high_o the_o reason_n be_v not_o their_o
the_o sensitive_a and_o rational_a motion_n which_o do_v not_o only_o make_v the_o fear_n and_o conceit_n but_o also_o the_o disease_n for_o as_o a_o fright_n will_v sometime_o cure_v disease_n so_o

which_o opinion_n i_o answer_v that_o my_o reason_n can_v conceive_v any_o thing_n to_o be_v without_o life_n and_o so_o neither_o without_o sense_n for_o whatsoever_o have_v self-motion_n have_v
