shall_v think_v but_o few_o will_v allow_v thereof_o who_o consider_v that_o there_o be_v no_o more_o of_o matter_n in_o the_o world_n now_o than_o ever_o be_v and_o that_o matter_n be_v ingenerable_a

against_o it_o of_o which_o i_o will_v touch_v but_o one_o or_o two_o as_o stick_v most_o with_o i_o the_o first_o be_v that_o it_o seem_v a_o little_a unphilosophical_a to_o call_v in_o a_o supernatural_a agent_n for_o a_o business_n and_o work_n of_o nature_n such_o as_o be_v if_o any_o be_v the_o propagation_n of_o kind_a my_o full_a consent_n be_v with_o julius_n scaliger_n when_o

further_o argue_v that_o if_o human_a soul_n be_v immediate_o create_v by_o god_n it_o must_v be_v admit_v that_o those_o of_o beast_n be_v so_o too_o since_o nothing_o can_v be_v clear_a even_o to_o sense_n than_o that_o man_n and_o beast_n do_v propagate_v their_o kind_n the_o same_o way_n whether_o that_o way_n be_v by_o creation_n by_o traduction_n or_o by_o any_o other_o whatever_o there_o be_v in_o mankind_n as_o well_o as_o in_o the_o kind_n of_o beast_n a_o distinction_n of_o sex_n for_o the_o business_n of_o generation_n a_o furniture_n and_o disposition_n of_o organ_n for_o it_o in_o both_o and_o in_o both_o a_o like_a use_n and_o application_n of_o organ_n all_o man_n and_o beast_n be_v alike_o conceive_v in_o their_o respective_a womb_n alike_o nourish_v and_o augment_v and_o both_o come_v out_o in_o the_o same_o manner_n and_o therefore_o there_o be_v the_o same_o evidence_n it_o be_v but_o reason_n to_o make_v the_o same_o conclusion_n for_o both_o i_o know_v this_o argument_n will_v have_v but_o little_a effect_n upon_o gartesians_n who_o against_o the_o testimony_n of_o sense_n believe_v that_o beast_n be_v only_o machines_n without_o any_o conscious_a perception_n or_o knowledge_n do_v not_o own_v they_o to_o have_v soul_n as_o man_n have_v in_o the_o proper_a sense_n of_o the_o world_n but_o yet_o it_o can_v want_v its_o due_a weight_n with_o all_o other_o who_o believe_v their_o own_o refuse_v not_o sense_n unto_o beast_n as_o think_v they_o have_v reason_n to_o conclude_v that_o beast_n see_v and_o hear_v etc._n etc._n as_o man_n themselves_o do_v because_o they_o have_v eye_n and_o ear_n etc._n etc._n as_o man_n themselves_o have_v and_o to_o all_o appearance_n make_v the_o same_o use_n of_o they_o upon_o occasion_n as_o man_n themselves_o upon_o the_o like_a will_v do_v and_o all_o these_o will_v find_v the_o same_o reason_n to_o infer_v that_o man_n and_o beast_n beget_v their_o like_o the_o same_o way_n because_o there_o be_v the_o same_o appearance_n to_o make_v we_o think_v they_o shall_v these_o appearance_n be_v obvious_a and_o they_o ought_v to_o be_v consider_v nor_o be_v they_o capable_a i_o think_v of_o be_v solve_v or_o the_o other_o difficulty_n that_o do_v lie_v in_o both_o the_o way_n of_o creation_n and_o traduction_n capable_a of_o be_v remove_v otherwise_o than_o on_o the_o hypothesis_n i_o have_v propose_v by_o acknowledge_v a_o mundane_a soul_n that_o according_a to_o the_o exigence_n and_o disposition_n of_o the_o matter_n be_v always_o ready_a with_o a_o portion_n of_o itself_o to_o animate_v and_o actuate_v it_o so_o that_o there_o be_v no_o need_n of_o any_o new_a creation_n of_o praeexistence_n or_o of_o any_o traduction_n of_o particular_a soul_n but_o to_o proceed_v there_o be_v another_o phaenomenon_n very_o obvious_a that_o be_v better_a solve_v on_o this_o hypothesis_n of_o a_o mundane_a soul_n than_o it_o can_v be_v on_o any_o other_o to_o wit_n that_o
