A87905	A discourse of the knowledg of beasts, wherein all that hath been said for, and against their ratiocination, is examined. / By Monsieur de la Chambre, counsellor to the King of France in his counsels, and his physitian in ordinary. Translated into English by a person of quality.; Traité de la connoissance des animaux. English	La Chambre, Marin Cureau de, 1594-1669.; Person of quality.	1658 (1658)	Wing L131; Thomason E1829_1; ESTC R202706	171,392	314

the_o best_a foundation_n we_o can_v give_v to_o this_o enquiry_n be_v that_o all_o faculty_n have_v a_o natural_a inclination_n to_o produce_v those_o action_n which_o be_v in_o their_o power_n that_o they_o tend_v thither_o as_o to_o their_o end_n and_o to_o their_o perfection_n and_o that_o they_o never_o forbear_v to_o act_v when_o all_o condition_n necessary_a to_o action_n occur_v from_o this_o principle_n which_o be_v as_o clear_a as_o the_o light_n and_o which_o draw_v its_o proof_n from_o all_o thing_n which_o be_v in_o the_o universe_n it_o follow_v that_o all_o the_o faculty_n of_o the_o soul_n have_v the_o same_o inclination_n that_o they_o seek_v but_o to_o act_v and_o that_o those_o which_o have_v no_o other_o action_n but_o knowledge_n can_v hinder_v themselves_o from_o know_v when_o their_o object_n be_v present_a and_o when_o they_o be_v not_o otherwise_o divert_v if_o there_o be_v then_o the_o principal_a action_n which_o form_n knowledge_n to_o wit_n the_o first_o conception_n the_o judgement_n and_o the_o discourse_n it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o the_o faculty_n which_o be_v capable_a to_o produce_v they_o produce_v they_o in_o effect_n when_o the_o object_n of_o every_o of_o these_o action_n be_v present_a unto_o they_o and_o that_o they_o be_v neither_o divert_v nor_o hinder_v now_o the_o object_n of_o the_o first_o be_v those_o which_o present_v themselves_o under_o one_o only_a image_n that_o of_o the_o second_o be_v those_o which_o present_v themselves_o under_o two_o image_n which_o may_v unite_v or_o separate_v themselves_o that_o of_o the_o three_o be_v the_o rest_n which_o be_v of_o a_o great_a number_n and_o which_o may_v be_v link_v together_o by_o a_o middle_n which_o be_v common_a unto_o they_o so_o that_o in_o the_o same_o manner_n as_o at_o the_o presence_n of_o a_o simple_a object_n that_o faculty_n which_o be_v not_o divert_v be_v necessitate_v and_o can_v hinder_v itself_o from_o produce_v in_o itself_o that_o image_n in_o which_o the_o first_o and_o simple_a conception_n consist_v and_o that_o it_o be_v constrain_v to_o unite_v or_o divide_v two_o different_a image_n wherein_o the_o judgement_n consist_v as_o also_o when_o it_o find_v more_o which_o link_v themselves_o together_o it_o must_v of_o necessity_n bound_v they_o and_o make_v this_o return_n and_o circular_a motion_n in_o which_o the_o nature_n of_o ratiocination_n consist_v as_o we_o have_v show_v from_o hence_o we_o must_v necessary_o conclude_v that_o it_o be_v indifferent_a for_o this_o three_o operation_n for_o the_o thing_n to_o be_v evident_a or_o doubtful_a forasmuch_o as_o suppose_v that_o there_o be_v three_o term_n or_o three_o image_n which_o altenative_o may_v join_v themselves_o together_o and_o suffer_v this_o circular_a revolution_n we_o have_v speak_v of_o the_o faculty_n must_v necessary_o assemble_v they_o since_o it_o be_v not_o hinder_v and_o that_o the_o object_n of_o its_o action_n be_v present_a but_o yet_o it_o follow_v that_o evidence_n and_o certainty_n far_o from_o serve_v as_o a_o obstacle_n to_o ratiocination_n advance_v and_o favour_v it_o and_o on_o the_o contrary_n doubt_v and_o obscurity_n retard_v and_o hinder_v it_o for_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o if_o the_o connexion_n of_o term_n be_v evident_a and_o certain_a the_o concatenation_n which_o discourse_n require_v will_n the_o soon_o be_v make_v and_o more_o perfect_o than_o if_o it_o be_v find_v obscure_a and_o doubtful_a forasmuch_o as_o time_n and_o pain_n be_v require_v to_o take_v away_o obscurity_n and_o doubt_n and_o consequent_o to_o encounter_v this_o common_a concatenation_n which_o ought_v to_o unite_v all_o the_o part_n of_o ratiocination_n but_o this_o truth_n can_v be_v contest_v if_o it_o be_v true_a that_o there_o be_v ratiocination_n make_v in_o a_o instant_n as_o we_o have_v show_v for_o all_o the_o proposition_n which_o compose_v they_o be_v then_o at_o the_o same_o time_n know_v there_o can_v be_v not_o one_o more_o doubtful_a and_o obscure_a then_o the_o other_o and_o the_o conclusion_n which_o make_v itself_o assoon_o know_v as_o the_o antecedent_n aught_o to_o be_v as_o clear_v and_o evident_a as_o they_o can_v be_v to_o conclude_v experience_n and_o the_o school_n teach_v we_o that_o science_n and_o opinion_n may_v be_v find_v together_o for_o one_o and_o the_o same_o thing_n as_o well_o as_o faith_n and_o science_n and_o therefore_o since_o we_o can_v prove_v the_o conclusion_n of_o science_n by_o topical_a argument_n and_o proposition_n of_o faith_n by_o demonstration_n we_o may_v reason_v on_o thing_n which_o be_v not_o doubtful_a the_o conclusion_n of_o science_n and_o the_o proposition_n of_o faith_n leave_v no_o doubt_n and_o be_v most_o certain_a and_o most_o assure_a yet_o we_o may_v object_v two_o thing_n p._n 113._o the_o first_o that_o the_o soul_n ought_v then_o to_o go_v all_o at_o once_o to_o the_o conclusion_n without_o make_v all_o this_o progress_n unprofitable_a to_o its_o self_n but_o to_o this_o we_o answer_v that_o this_o progress_n be_v natural_a to_o the_o soul_n that_o she_o can_v march_v otherwise_o and_o that_o to_o make_v she_o move_v in_o another_o manner_n be_v to_o violence_n her_o nature_n and_o to_o destroy_v that_o action_n which_o be_v most_o proper_a and_o most_o convenient_a for_o we_o as_o a_o circle_n which_o can_v otherwise_o be_v move_v but_o by_o the_o turn_v and_o circumvolution_n it_o make_v about_o itself_o the_o soul_n which_o in_o some_o manner_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v of_o that_o gender_n can_v also_o move_v but_o by_o discourse_n which_o be_v a_o circular_a motion_n it_o give_v itself_o some_o agitation_n in_o its_o first_o knowledge_n but_o if_o she_o be_v not_o hinder_v she_o never_o stop_v there_o and_o ever_o make_v its_o revolution_n entire_a indeed_o without_o doubt_n whoever_o will_v observe_v the_o manner_n whereby_o the_o understanding_n know_v thing_n will_v find_v that_o it_o make_v but_o few_o motion_n or_o simple_a proposition_n which_o be_v not_o accompany_v with_o a_o complete_a discourse_n and_o although_o speech_n make_v but_o one_o part_n appear_v it_o forbear_v not_o to_o make_v it_o in_o its_o self_n entire_a and_o to_o join_v in_o secret_a to_o the_o notion_n it_o express_v the_o

nor_o that_o speech_n shall_v mark_v all_o the_o thought_n it_o form_n in_o these_o encounter_n as_o much_o be_v to_o be_v say_v of_o the_o imagination_n and_o even_o with_o more_o right_a because_o it_o be_v a_o faculty_n which_o be_v not_o free_a as_o be_v the_o understanding_n but_o which_o be_v absolute_o determine_v by_o the_o object_n and_o which_o operate_v not_o but_o for_o the_o preservation_n of_o the_o animal_n so_o that_o we_o may_v be_v assure_v that_o she_o know_v nothing_o but_o she_o make_v a_o practical_a judgement_n of_o it_o whether_o it_o be_v to_o follow_v or_o to_o forsake_v it_o whether_o it_o be_v to_o do_v it_o or_o not_o to_o do_v it_o now_o if_o this_o be_v so_o it_o form_v no_o action_n nor_o proposition_n without_o reason_v as_o have_v be_v show_v

conclusion_n be_v as_o evident_a unto_o it_o as_o the_o proposition_n it_o make_v use_v of_o to_o attain_v it_o yet_o she_o fortify_v herself_o in_o the_o certainty_n she_o have_v of_o it_o by_o the_o knowledge_n which_o these_o proposition_n afford_v she_o &_o she_o take_v they_o as_o witness_n which_o do_v not_o discover_v to_o she_o the_o truth_n which_o she_o know_v from_o elsewhere_o but_o which_o confirm_v she_o in_o it_o neither_o be_v it_o a_o thing_n particular_a unto_o she_o on_o this_o occasion_n she_o do_v the_o same_o in_o all_o her_o other_o knowledge_n for_o although_o she_o
