to_o be_v restrain_v from_o put_v we_o into_o motion_n and_o against_o a_o reluctant_a act_n of_o our_o will_n we_o be_v not_o move_v but_o with_o great_a difficulty_n to_o they_o that_o will_v give_v themselves_o and_o we_o the_o trouble_n this_o be_v i_o say_v the_o case_n with_o we_o and_o it_o be_v also_o obvious_a to_o our_o observation_n that_o it_o be_v so_o very_a much_o alike_o in_o these_o mention_a respect_n with_o brute_n creature_n how_o unconceivable_a be_v it_o that_o the_o directive_n principle_n of_o their_o motion_n and_o we_o shall_v be_v so_o vast_o and_o altogether_o unlike_a whatsoever_o great_a perfection_n be_v require_v with_o we_o as_o to_o those_o more_o noble_a and_o perfect_a function_n and_o operation_n which_o be_v find_v to_o belong_v to_o we_o that_o be_v that_o in_o we_o a_o act_n of_o will_n shall_v signify_v so_o very_o much_o and_o be_v for_o the_o most_o part_n necessary_a to_o the_o beginning_n the_o continue_v the_o stop_n or_o the_o vary_a of_o our_o motion_n and_o in_o they_o nothing_o like_o it_o nor_o any_o thing_n else_o beside_o only_o that_o corporal_a principle_n 8._o which_o he_o assign_v as_o common_a to_o they_o and_o we_o the_o continual_a heat_n in_o the_o heart_n which_o he_o call_v a_o sort_n of_o fire_n nourish_v by_o the_o blood_n of_o the_o vein_n the_o instrument_n of_o motion_n already_o mention_v and_o the_o various_a representation_n and_o impression_n of_o external_a object_n as_o there_o and_o elsewhere_o he_o express_v himself_o upon_o method_n which_o last_n though_o much_o be_v undoubted_o to_o be_v attribute_v to_o it_o that_o so_o main_a a_o stress_n shall_v be_v lay_v as_o to_o the_o diversify_n of_o motion_n seem_v strange_a when_o we_o may_v observe_v so_o various_a motion_n of_o some_o silly_a creature_n as_o of_o a_o fly_n in_o our_o window_n while_o we_o can_v perceive_v and_o can_v scarce_o imagine_v any_o change_n in_o external_a object_n about_o they_o yea_o a_o swarm_n of_o fly_n so_o various_o frisk_v and_o ply_v to_o and_o fro_o some_o this_o way_n other_o that_o with_o a_o thousand_o diversity_n and_o interfering_n in_o their_o motion_n and_o some_o rest_a while_n thing_n be_v in_o the_o same_o state_n external_o to_o they_o all_o so_o that_o what_o shall_v cause_v or_o cease_v or_o so_o strange_o vary_v such_o motion_n be_v from_o thence_o or_o any_o thing_n else_o he_o have_v say_v leave_v unimaginable_a as_o it_o be_v much_o more_o how_o in_o creature_n of_o much_o strength_n as_o a_o bear_n or_o a_o lion_n a_o paw_n shall_v be_v move_v sometime_o so_o gentle_o and_o sometime_o with_o so_o mighty_a force_n only_o by_o mere_a mechanism_n without_o any_o directive_n principle_n that_o be_v not_o altogether_o corporal_a but_o most_o of_o all_o how_o the_o strange_a regularity_n of_o motion_n in_o some_o creature_n as_o of_o the_o spider_n in_o make_v its_o web_n and_o the_o like_a shall_v be_v owe_v to_o no_o other_o than_o such_o cause_n as_o he_o have_v assign_v of_o the_o motion_n in_o general_a of_o brute_n creature_n and_o what_o though_o some_o motion_n of_o our_o own_o seem_v whole_o involuntary_a as_o that_o of_o our_o eyelid_n in_o the_o case_n which_o he_o suppose_v do_v it_o therefore_o follow_v 13._o they_o must_v proceed_v from_o a_o principle_n only_o corporal_a as_o if_o our_o soul_n have_v no_o other_o act_n belong_v to_o it_o but_o that_o of_o willing_a which_o he_o do_v not_o downright_o say_v but_o that_o it_o be_v its_o only_a or_o its_o chief_a act_n and_o if_o it_o be_v its_o chief_a act_n only_o what_o hinder_v but_o that_o such_o a_o motion_n may_v proceed_v from_o a_o act_n that_o be_v not_o chief_a or_o that_o it_o may_v have_v a_o power_n that_o may_v sometime_o step_v forth_o into_o act_n and_o in_o great_a matter_n than_o that_o without_o any_o formal_a deliberate_v command_n or_o direction_n of_o our_o will_n so_o little_a reason_n be_v there_o to_o conclude_v that_o all_o our_o motion_n common_a to_o we_o with_o beast_n or_o even_o their_o motion_n themselves_o depend_v on_o nothing_o else_o than_o 16._o the_o conformation_n of_o the_o member_n and_o the_o course_n which_o the_o
