the_o figure_n without_o pattern_n that_o be_v exterior_a object_n which_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o they_o be_v often_o erroneous_a whereas_o if_o it_o be_v the_o former_a impression_n of_o the_o object_n there_o can_v not_o possible_o be_v imperfect_a dream_n or_o remembrance_n for_o fade_v of_o figure_n require_v as_o much_o motion_n as_o impression_n and_o impression_n and_o fade_a be_v very_o different_a and_o opposite_a motion_n nay_o if_o perception_n be_v make_v by_o impression_n there_o can_v not_o possible_o be_v a_o fade_a or_o decay_n of_o the_o figure_n print_v either_o in_o the_o mind_n or_o body_n whereas_o yet_o as_o there_o be_v alteration_n of_o motion_n in_o self-moving_a matter_n so_o there_o be_v also_o a_o alteration_n of_o figure_n make_v by_o these_o motion_n but_o you_o will_v say_v it_o do_v not_o follow_v if_o perception_n be_v make_v by_o impression_n that_o it_o must_v needs_o continue_v and_o not_o decay_v for_o if_o you_o touch_v and_o move_v a_o string_n the_o motion_n do_v not_o continue_v for_o ever_o but_o cease_v by_o degree_n i_o answer_v there_o be_v great_a difference_n between_o prime_a self-motion_n and_o force_v or_o artificial_a motion_n for_o artificial_a motion_n be_v only_o a_o imitation_n of_o natural_a motion_n and_o not_o the_o same_o but_o cause_v by_o natural_a motion_n for_o although_o there_o be_v no_o art_n that_o be_v not_o make_v by_o nature_n yet_o nature_n be_v not_o make_v by_o art_n wherefore_o we_o can_v rational_o judge_v of_o perception_n by_o compare_v it_o to_o the_o motion_n of_o a_o string_n and_o its_o alteration_n to_o the_o cease_n of_o that_o motion_n for_o nature_n move_v not_o by_o force_n but_o free_o it_o be_v true_a it_o be_v the_o freedom_n in_o nature_n for_o one_o man_n to_o give_v another_o a_o box_n on_o the_o ear_n or_o to_o trip_v up_o his_o heel_n or_o for_o one_o or_o more_o man_n to_o fight_v with_o each_o other_o yet_o these_o action_n be_v not_o like_o the_o action_n of_o love_a embrace_n and_o kiss_v each_o other_o neither_o be_v the_o action_n one_o and_o the_o same_o when_o a_o man_n strike_v himself_o and_o when_o he_o strike_v another_o and_o so_o be_v likewise_o the_o action_n of_o impression_n and_o the_o action_n of_o self-figuring_a not_o one_o and_o the_o same_o but_o different_a for_o the_o action_n of_o impression_n be_v force_v and_o the_o action_n of_o self-figuring_a be_v free_a wherefore_o the_o comparison_n of_o the_o force_a motion_n of_o a_o string_n rope_n watch_n or_o the_o like_a can_v have_v no_o place_n here_o for_o though_o the_o rope_n make_v of_o flax_n or_o hemp_n may_v have_v the_o perception_n of_o a_o vegetable_a yet_o not_o of_o the_o hand_n or_o the_o like_a that_o touch_v or_o strike_v it_o and_o although_o the_o hand_n do_v occasion_n the_o rope_n to_o move_v in_o such_o a_o manner_n yet_o it_o be_v not_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o hand_n by_o which_o it_o move_v and_o when_o it_o cease_v its_o natural_a and_o inherent_a power_n to_o move_v be_v not_o lessen_v like_v as_o a_o man_n that_o have_v leave_v off_o carve_v or_o paint_v have_v no_o less_o skill_n than_o he_o have_v before_o neither_o be_v that_o skill_n lose_v when_o he_o play_v upon_o the_o lute_n or_o virginal_n or_o blow_n plant_n and_o the_o like_a but_o he_o have_v only_o alter_v his_o action_n as_o from_o carve_v to_o paint_n or_o from_o paint_v to_o play_v and_o so_o to_o plough_v and_o plant_v which_o be_v not_o through_o disability_n but_o choice_n but_o you_o will_v say_v it_o be_v nevertheless_o a_o cessation_n of_o such_o a_o motion_n i_o grant_v it_o but_o the_o cease_n of_o such_o a_o motion_n be_v not_o the_o cease_n of_o self-moving_a matter_n from_o all_o motion_n neither_o be_v cessation_n as_o much_o as_o annihilation_n for_o the_o motion_n lie_v in_o the_o power_n of_o the_o matter_n to_o repeat_v it_o as_o oft_o it_o will_v if_o it_o be_v not_o overpowr_v for_o more_o part_n or_o more_o strength_n or_o more_o motion_n may_v overpower_v the_o less_o wherefore_o force_v or_o artificial_a and_o free_a natural_a motion_n be_v different_a in_o their_o effect_n although_o they_o have_v but_o one_o cause_n which_o be_v the_o self-moving_a matter_n and_o though_o matter_n be_v but_o active_a and_o passive_a yet_o there_o be_v great_a variety_n and_o so_o great_a difference_n in_o force_n and_o liberty_n object_n and_o perception_n sense_n and_o reason_n and_o the_o like_a but_o to_o conclude_v perception_n be_v not_o make_v by_o the_o pressure_n of_o object_n no_o more_o than_o hemp_n be_v make_v by_o the_o rope-maker_n or_o metal_n by_o the_o bell-founder_n or_o ringer_n and_o yet_o neither_o the_o rope_n nor_o the_o metal_n be_v without_o sense_n and_o reason_n but_o the_o natural_a motion_n of_o the_o metal_n and_o the_o artificial_a motion_n of_o the_o ringer_n be_v different_a wherefore_o a_o natural_a effect_n in_o truth_n can_v be_v produce_v from_o a_o artificial_a cause_n neither_o can_v the_o cease_n of_o particular_a force_v or_o artificial_a motion_n be_v a_o proof_n for_o the_o cease_n of_o general_a natural_a free_a motion_n as_o that_o matter_n itself_o shall_v cease_v to_o move_v for_o there_o be_v no_o such_o thing_n as_o rest_v in_o nature_n but_o there_o be_v a_o alteration_n of_o motion_n and_o figure_n in_o self-moving_a matter_n which_o alteration_n cause_v variety_n as_o well_o in_o opinion_n as_o in_o every_o thing_n else_o wherefore_o in_o my_o opinion_n though_o sense_n alter_v yet_o it_o do_v not_o decay_n for_o the_o rational_a and_o sensitive_a part_n of_o matter_n be_v as_o lasting_a as_o matter_n itself_o but_o that_o which_o be_v name_v decay_n of_o sense_n be_v only_o the_o alteration_n of_o motion_n and_o not_o a_o obscurity_n of_o motion_n like_v as_o the_o motion_n of_o memory_n and_o forgetfulness_n and_o the_o repetition_n of_o the_o same_o motion_n be_v call_v remembrance_n and_o thus_o much_o of_o this_o subject_n for_o the_o present_a to_o which_o i_o add_v no_o more_o but_o rest_n madam_n your_o faithful_a friend_n and_o servant_n vi_o madam_n your_o author_n discourse_v of_o imagination_n say_v 2._o that_o as_o soon_o as_o any_o object_n be_v remove_v from_o our_o eye_n though_o the_o impression_n that_o be_v make_v in_o we_o remain_v yet_o other_o object_n more_o present_a succeed_a and_o work_v on_o we_o the_o imagination_n of_o the_o past_a be_v obscure_v and_o make_v weak_a to_o which_o i_o answer_v first_o that_o he_o conceive_v sense_n and_o imagination_n to_o be_v all_o one_o for_o he_o say_v imagination_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o fade_a or_o decay_a sense_n whereas_o in_o my_o opinion_n they_o be_v different_a not_o only_o their_o matter_n but_o their_o motion_n also_o be_v distinct_a and_o different_a for_o imagination_n be_v a_o rational_a perception_n and_o sense_n a_o sensitive_a perception_n wherefore_o as_o much_o as_o the_o rational_a matter_n differ_v from_o the_o sensitive_a as_o much_o do_v imagination_n differ_v from_o sense_n next_o i_o say_v that_o impression_n do_v not_o remain_v in_o the_o body_n of_o sensitive_a matter_n but_o it_o be_v in_o its_o power_n to_o make_v or_o repeat_v the_o like_a figure_n neither_o be_v imagination_n less_o when_o the_o object_n be_v absent_a then_o when_o present_a but_o the_o figure_n pattern_v out_o in_o the_o sensitive_a organ_n be_v alter_v and_o remain_v only_o in_o the_o rational_a part_n of_o matter_n be_v not_o so_o perspicuous_a and_o clear_a as_o when_o it_o be_v both_o in_o the_o sense_n and_o in_o the_o mind_n and_o to_o prove_v that_o imagination_n of_o thing_n past_a do_v not_o grow_v weak_a by_o distance_n of_o time_n as_o your_o author_n say_v many_o a_o man_n in_o his_o old_a age_n will_v have_v as_o perfect_v a_o imagination_n of_o what_o be_v pass_v in_o his_o young_a year_n as_o if_o he_o see_v it_o present_a and_o as_o for_o your_o author_n opinion_n that_o imagination_n and_o memory_n be_v one_o and_o the_o same_o i_o grant_v that_o they_o be_v make_v of_o one_o kind_n of_o matter_n but_o although_o the_o matter_n be_v one_o and_o the_o same_o yet_o several_a motion_n in_o the_o several_a part_n make_v imagination_n and_o memory_n several_a thing_n as_o for_o example_n a_o man_n may_v imagine_v that_o which_o never_o come_v into_o his_o sense_n wherefore_o imagination_n be_v not_o one_o and_o the_o same_o thing_n with_o memory_n but_o your_o author_n seem_v to_o make_v all_o sense_n as_o it_o be_v one_o motion_n but_o not_o all_o motion_n sense_n whereas_o sure_o there_o be_v no_o motion_n but_o be_v either_o sensitive_a or_o rational_a for_o reason_n be_v but_o a_o pure_a and_o refine_a sense_n and_o sense_n a_o grosser_n reason_n yet_o all_o sensitive_a and_o rational_a motion_n be_v not_o one_o and_o the_o same_o for_o force_a or_o artificial_a

motion_n but_o i_o deny_v that_o after_o hold_v the_o hand_n a_o little_a while_n still_o and_o beginning_n to_o write_v again_o a_o new_a motion_n of_o the_o pen_n be_v generate_v for_o it_o be_v only_o a_o repetition_n and_o not_o a_o new_a generation_n for_o the_o hand_n pen_n and_o ink_n repeat_v but_o the_o same_o motion_n or_o action_n of_o writing_n beside_o generation_n be_v make_v by_o connexion_n or_o conjunction_n of_o part_n move_v by_o consent_n to_o such_o or_o such_o figure_n but_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o hand_n or_o the_o pen_n be_v always_o one_o and_o the_o same_o wherefore_o it_o be_v but_o the_o variation_n and_o repetition_n in_o and_o of_o the_o same_o motion_n of_o the_o hand_n or_o pen_n which_o may_v be_v continue_v in_o that_o manner_n infinite_o just_a as_o the_o same_o corporeal_a motion_n can_v make_v infinite_a variation_n and_o repetition_n of_o one_o and_o the_o same_o figure_n repeat_v it_o as_o oft_o as_o they_o please_v as_o also_o make_v copy_n of_o copy_n and_o although_o i_o do_v not_o deny_v but_o there_o be_v generation_n in_o nature_n yet_o not_o annihilation_n or_o perishing_n for_o if_o any_o one_o motion_n or_o figure_n shall_v perish_v the_o matter_n must_v perish_v also_o and_o if_o any_o one_o part_n of_o matter_n can_v perish_v all_o the_o matter_n in_o nature_n may_v perish_v also_o and_o if_o there_o can_v any_o new_a thing_n be_v make_v or_o create_v in_o nature_n which_o have_v not_o be_v before_o there_o may_v also_o be_v a_o new_a nature_n and_o so_o by_o perishing_n and_o new_a creation_n this_o world_n will_v not_o have_v continue_v a_o age_n but_o sure_o whatsoever_o be_v in_o nature_n have_v be_v existent_a always_o wherefore_o to_o conclude_v it_o be_v not_o the_o generation_n and_o perish_v of_o a_o accident_n that_o make_v its_o subject_n to_o be_v change_v but_o the_o production_n and_o alteration_n of_o the_o form_n make_v it_o say_v to_o be_v generate_v or_o destroy_v for_o matter_n will_v change_v its_o motion_n and_o figure_n without_o perish_v or_o annihilate_v and_o whether_o there_o be_v word_n or_o not_o there_o will_v be_v such_o cause_n and_o effect_n but_o have_v not_o the_o art_n of_o logic_n to_o dispute_v with_o artificial_a word_n nor_o the_o art_n of_o geometry_n to_o demonstrate_v my_o opinion_n by_o mathematical_a figure_n i_o fear_v they_o will_v not_o be_v so_o well_o receive_v by_o the_o learned_a however_o i_o leave_v they_o to_o any_o man_n unprejudiced_a reason_n and_o judgement_n and_o devote_v myself_o to_o your_o service_n as_o become_v madam_n your_o ladyship_n humble_a and_o faithful_a servant_n xvii_o madam_n your_o author_n concern_v place_n and_o magnitude_n say_v that_o place_n be_v nothing_o out_o of_o the_o mind_n nor_o 5._o magnitude_n any_o thing_n within_o it_o for_o place_n be_v a_o mere_a phantasm_n of_o a_o body_n of_o such_o quantity_n and_o figure_n and_o magnitude_n a_o peculiar_a accident_n of_o the_o body_n but_o this_o do_v not_o well_o agree_v with_o my_o reason_n for_o i_o believe_v that_o place_n magnitude_n and_o body_n be_v but_o one_o thing_n and_o that_o place_n be_v as_o true_a a_o extension_n as_o magnitude_n and_o not_o a_o feign_a one_o neither_o be_o i_o of_o his_o opinion_n that_o place_n be_v immovable_a but_o that_o place_n move_v according_a as_o the_o body_n move_v for_o not_o any_o body_n want_v place_n because_o place_n and_o body_n be_v but_o one_o thing_n and_o wheresoever_o be_v body_n there_o be_v also_o place_n and_o wheresoever_o be_v place_n there_o be_v body_n as_o be_v one_o and_o the_o same_o wherefore_o motion_n can_v be_v a_o relinquish_a of_o one_o place_n and_o acquire_v another_o 10._o for_o there_o be_v no_o such_o thing_n as_o place_v different_a from_o body_n but_o what_o be_v call_v change_n of_o place_n be_v nothing_o but_o change_v of_o corporeal_a motion_n for_o say_v a_o house_n stand_v in_o such_o a_o place_n if_o the_o house_n be_v go_v the_o place_n be_v go_v also_o as_o be_v impossible_a that_o the_o place_n of_o the_o house_n shall_v remain_v when_o the_o house_n be_v take_v away_o like_v as_o a_o man_n when_o he_o be_v go_v out_o of_o his_o chamber_n his_o place_n be_v go_v too_o it_o be_v true_a if_o the_o ground_n or_o foundation_n do_v yet_o remain_v one_o may_v say_v there_o stand_v such_o a_o house_n heretofore_o but_o yet_o the_o place_n of_o the_o house_n be_v not_o there_o real_o at_o that_o present_a unless_o the_o same_o house_n be_v build_v up_o again_o as_o it_o be_v before_o and_o then_o it_o have_v its_o place_n as_o before_o nevertheless_o the_o house_n be_v not_o there_o it_o can_v be_v say_v that_o either_o place_n or_o house_n be_v annihilate_v viz_o when_o the_o material_n be_v dissolve_v no_o not_o when_o transform_v into_o million_o of_o several_a other_o figure_n for_o the_o house_n remain_v still_o in_o the_o power_n of_o all_o those_o several_a part_n of_o matter_n and_o as_o for_o space_n it_o be_v only_o a_o distance_n betwixt_o some_o part_n or_o body_n but_o a_o empty_a place_n signify_v to_o my_o opinion_n nothing_o for_o if_o place_n and_o body_n be_v one_o and_o the_o same_o and_o empty_a be_v as_o much_o as_o nothing_o then_o certain_o these_o two_o word_n can_v consist_v together_o but_o be_v destructive_a to_o one_o another_o concern_v that_o your_o author_n say_v two_o body_n can_v be_v together_o in_o the_o same_o place_n nor_o 8._o one_o body_n in_o two_o place_n at_o the_o same_o time_n be_v very_o true_a for_o there_o be_v no_o more_o place_n than_o body_n nor_o more_o body_n than_o place_n and_o this_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v as_o well_o of_o the_o grosser_n as_o the_o pure_a part_n of_o nature_n of_o the_o mind_n as_o well_o as_o of_o the_o body_n of_o the_o rational_a and_o sensitive_a animate_v matter_n as_o well_o as_o of_o the_o inanimate_a for_o there_o be_v no_o matter_n how_o pure_a and_o subtle_a soever_o but_o be_v embody_a and_o all_o that_o have_v body_n have_v place_n likewise_o i_o be_o of_o his_o opinion_n that_o one_o body_n have_v always_o one_o and_o the_o same_o 5._o magnitude_n for_o in_o my_o opinion_n magnitude_n place_n and_o body_n do_v not_o differ_v and_o as_o place_n so_o magnitude_n can_v never_o be_v separate_v from_o body_n but_o when_o he_o speak_v of_o rest_n i_o can_v believe_v there_o be_v any_o such_o thing_n true_o in_o nature_n for_o it_o be_v impossible_a to_o prove_v that_o any_o thing_n be_v without_o motion_n either_o consistent_a or_o compose_v or_o dissolve_v or_o transform_a motion_n or_o the_o like_a although_o not_o altogether_o perceptible_a by_o our_o sense_n for_o all_o the_o matter_n be_v either_o move_a or_o move_v and_o although_o the_o move_v part_n be_v not_o capable_a to_o receive_v the_o nature_n of_o self-motion_n from_o the_o self-moving_a part_n yet_o these_o self-moving_a part_n be_v join_v and_o mix_v with_o all_o other_o part_n of_o the_o move_v matter_n do_v always_o move_v the_o same_o for_o the_o move_v or_o inanimate_a part_n of_o matter_n although_o it_o be_v a_o part_n of_o itself_o yet_o it_o be_v so_o intermix_v with_o the_o self-moving_a animate_v matter_n as_o they_o make_v but_o one_o body_n and_o though_o some_o part_n of_o the_o inanimate_a may_v be_v as_o pure_a as_o the_o sensitive_a animate_v matter_n yet_o they_o be_v never_o so_o subtle_a as_o to_o be_v self-moving_a wherefore_o the_o sensitive_a move_v in_o the_o inanimate_a and_o the_o rational_a in_o the_o sensitive_a but_o often_o the_o rational_a move_v in_o itself_o and_o although_o there_o be_v no_o rest_n in_o nature_n nevertheless_o matter_n can_v have_v be_v without_o motion_n when_o as_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o matter_n can_v be_v without_o place_n or_o magnitude_n no_o more_o than_o variety_n can_v be_v without_o motion_n and_o thus_o much_o at_o this_o present_a i_o conclude_v and_o rest_n madam_n your_o faithful_a friend_n

ought_v which_o cause_v weakness_n neither_o do_v the_o regular_a motion_n use_v so_o much_o force_n in_o peace_n as_o in_o war_n for_o though_o animate_v matter_n can_v lose_v force_n yet_o it_o do_v

intermission_n be_v like_o truce_n or_o cessation_n from_o war_n for_o a_o time_n and_o relapse_n be_v like_o new_a stir_n or_o tumult_n of_o rebellion_n for_o rebel_n be_v not_o so_o apt_a to_o settle_v in_o peace_n as_o to_o renew_v the_o war_n upon_o slight_a occasion_n and_o if_o the_o regular_a motion_n of_o the_o body_n be_v strong_a they_o reduce_v they_o again_o unto_o obedience_n but_o disease_n be_v occasion_v many_o several_a way_n for_o some_o be_v make_v by_o a_o home_n rebellion_n and_o other_o by_o foreign_a enemy_n and_o some_o by_o natural_a and_o regular_a dissolution_n and_o their_o cure_n be_v as_o different_a but_o the_o chief_a magistrate_n or_o governor_n of_o the_o animal_n body_n which_o be_v the_o regular_a motion_n of_o the_o part_n of_o the_o body_n want_v most_o common_o the_o assistance_n of_o foreign_a part_n which_o be_v medicine_n diet_n and_o the_o like_a and_o if_o there_o be_v faction_n among_o these_o chief_a magistrate_n or_o motion_n of_o the_o part_n of_o the_o body_n than_o the_o whole_a body_n suffer_v a_o ruin_n but_o since_o there_o will_v be_v no_o variety_n in_o nature_n nor_o no_o difference_n between_o nature_n several_a part_n or_o creature_n if_o her_o action_n be_v never_o different_a but_o always_o agree_v and_o constant_a a_o war_n or_o rebellion_n in_o nature_n can_v be_v avoid_v but_o mistake_v i_o not_o for_o i_o do_v not_o mean_v a_o war_n or_o rebellion_n in_o the_o nature_n of_o substance_n of_o matter_n but_o between_o the_o several_a part_n of_o matter_n which_o be_v the_o several_a creature_n and_o their_o several_a motion_n for_o matter_n be_v always_o one_o and_o the_o same_o in_o its_o nature_n have_v nothing_o to_o war_n withal_o and_o sure_o it_o will_v not_o quarrel_v with_o its_o own_o nature_n next_o you_o desire_v to_o know_v that_o if_o nature_n be_v in_o a_o perpetual_a motion_n whence_o come_v a_o duration_n of_o some_o thing_n and_o a_o tiredness_n weariness_n sluggishness_n or_o faintness_n i_o answer_v first_o that_o in_o some_o body_n the_o retentive_a motion_n be_v strong_a than_o the_o dissolve_v motion_n as_o for_o example_n gold_n and_o quicksilver_n or_o mercury_n the_o separate_n and_o dissolve_v motion_n of_o fire_n have_v only_a power_n to_o melt_v and_o rarify_v they_o for_o a_o time_n but_o can_v alter_v their_o nature_n so_o a_o hammer_n or_o such_o like_a instrument_n when_o use_v may_v beat_v gold_n and_o make_v it_o thin_a as_o a_o cobweb_n or_o as_o dust_n but_o can_v alter_v its_o interior_a nature_n but_o yet_o this_o do_v not_o prove_v it_o to_o be_v either_o without_o motion_n or_o to_o be_v altogether_o unalterable_a and_o not_o subject_a to_o any_o dissolution_n but_o only_o that_o its_o retentive_a motion_n be_v too_o strong_a for_o the_o dissolve_v motion_n of_o the_o fire_n which_o by_o force_n work_n upon_o the_o gold_n and_o we_o may_v as_o well_o say_v that_o sand_n or_o a_o earthen_a vessel_n or_o glass_n or_o stone_n or_o any_o thing_n else_o be_v unalterable_a and_o will_v last_v eternal_o if_o not_o disturb_v but_o some_o of_o nature_n action_n be_v as_o industrious_a to_o keep_v their_o figure_n as_o other_o be_v to_o dissolve_v or_o alter_v they_o and_o therefore_o retentive_a motion_n be_v more_o strong_a and_o active_a in_o some_o figure_n then_o dissolve_v motion_n be_v in_o other_o or_o produce_v motion_n in_o other_o figure_n next_o as_o for_o tiredness_n or_o faintness_n of_o motion_n there_o be_v no_o such_o thing_n as_o tiredness_n or_o faintness_n in_o nature_n for_o nature_n can_v be_v tire_v nor_o grow_v faint_a or_o sick_a nor_o be_v pain_v nor_o die_v nor_o be_v any_o way_n defective_a for_o all_o this_o be_v only_o cause_v through_o the_o change_n and_o variety_n of_o the_o corporeal_a motion_n of_o nature_n and_o her_o several_a part_n neither_o do_v irregular_a motion_n prove_v any_o defect_n in_o nature_n but_o a_o prudence_n in_o nature_n action_n in_o make_v variety_n and_o alteration_n of_o figure_n for_o without_o such_o motion_n or_o action_n there_o can_v not_o be_v such_o variety_n and_o alteration_n in_o nature_n as_o there_o be_v neither_o be_v slackness_n of_o some_o motion_n a_o defect_n for_o nature_n be_v too_o wise_a to_o use_v her_o utmost_a force_n in_o her_o ordinary_a work_n and_o though_o nature_n be_v infinite_a yet_o it_o be_v not_o necessary_a she_o shall_v use_v a_o infinite_a force_n and_o power_n in_o any_o particular_a act_n last_o you_o desire_v my_o opinion_n whether_o there_o be_v motion_n in_o a_o dead_a animal_n creature_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v i_o have_v declare_v heretofore_o that_o there_o be_v no_o such_o thing_n as_o death_n in_o nature_n but_o what_o be_v common_o name_v death_n be_v but_o a_o alteration_n or_o change_n of_o corporeal_a motion_n and_o the_o death_n of_o a_o animal_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o the_o dissolve_v motion_n of_o its_o figure_n for_o when_o a_o man_n be_v die_v the_o motion_n which_o do_v former_o work_v to_o the_o consistence_n of_o his_o figure_n do_v now_o work_v to_o the_o dissolution_n of_o his_o figure_n and_o to_o the_o production_n of_o some_o other_o figure_n change_v and_o transform_v every_o part_n thereof_o but_o though_o the_o figure_n of_o that_o dead_a animal_n be_v dissolve_v yet_o the_o part_n of_o that_o dissolve_a figure_n remain_v still_o in_o nature_n although_o they_o be_v infinite_o change_v and_o will_v do_v so_o eternal_o as_o long_o as_o nature_n last_v by_o the_o will_n of_o god_n for_o nothing_o can_v be_v lose_v or_o annihilate_v in_o nature_n and_o this_o be_v all_o madam_n that_o i_o can_v answer_v to_o your_o question_n wherein_o i_o hope_v i_o have_v obey_v your_o command_n according_a to_o the_o duty_n of_o madam_n your_o faithful_a friend_n and_o humble_a servant_n xlv_o madam_n i_o have_v thus_o far_o discharge_v my_o duty_n that_o according_a to_o your_o command_n i_o have_v give_v you_o my_o judgement_n of_o the_o work_n of_o those_o four_o famous_a philosopher_n of_o our_o age_n which_o you_o do_v send_v i_o to_o peruse_v and_o have_v withal_o make_v reflection_n upon_o some_o of_o their_o opinion_n in_o natural_a philosophy_n especial_o those_o wherein_o i_o do_v find_v they_o dissent_v from_o the_o ground_n and_o principle_n of_o my_o own_o philosophy_n and_o since_o by_o your_o leave_n i_o be_o now_o publish_v all_o those_o letter_n which_o i_o have_v hitherto_o write_v to_o your_o concern_v those_o aforesaid_a author_n and_o their_o work_n i_o be_o confident_a i_o shall_v not_o escape_v the_o censure_n of_o their_o follower_n but_o i_o shall_v desire_v they_o that_o they_o will_v be_v please_v to_o do_v i_o this_o justice_n and_o to_o examine_v first_o my_o opinion_n well_o without_o any_o partiality_n or_o wilful_a misinterpretation_n of_o my_o sense_n before_o they_o pass_v their_o censure_n next_o i_o desire_v they_o to_o consider_v that_o i_o have_v no_o skill_n in_o school-learning_n and_o therefore_o for_o want_v of_o term_n of_o art_n may_v easy_o chance_v to_o slip_v or_o at_o least_o not_o express_v my_o opinion_n so_o clear_o as_o my_o reader_n expect_v however_o i_o have_v do_v my_o endeavour_n and_o to_o my_o sense_n and_o reason_n they_o seem_v clear_a and_o plain_a enough_o especial_o as_o i_o
