than_o a_o virtual_a succession_n intervening_a in_o the_o creature_n 12._o for_o what_o have_v formal_o the_o virtue_n which_o be_v in_o succession_n can_v as_o well_o perform_v this_o as_o succession_n itself_o but_o such_o we_o have_v say_v be_v the_o action_n of_o god_n whence_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o even_o from_o this_o effect_n the_o notion_n of_o god_n eternity_n be_v demonstrate_v à_fw-la posteriori_fw-la 13._o hence_o it_o be_v deduce_v that_o the_o duration_n of_o corporeal_a and_o spiritual_a substance_n be_v intrinsical_o different_a since_o corporeal_a substance_n have_v from_o the_o notion_n of_o matter_n a_o intrinsical_a possibility_n to_o notbe_a and_o consequent_o a_o weak_a connection_n to_o be_v intrinsical_o out_o of_o their_o own_o nature_n but_o duration_n consist_v in_o the_o connection_n of_o existence_n and_o essence_n as_o to_o the_o effect_n of_o permanence_n 14._o add_v to_o this_o that_o there_o be_v in_o nature_n cause_n which_o destroy_v body_n but_o there_o be_v none_o which_o be_v able_a to_o infest_v spiritual_a substance_n whence_o since_o god_n destroy_v nothing_o of_o himself_o intelligence_n be_v absolute_o immortal_a as_o also_o separate_a soul_n and_o body_n when_o motion_n cease_v will_v be_v immortal_a accidental_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n they_o be_v simple_o mortal_a unless_o perhaps_o there_o be_v some_o exempt_a from_o the_o general_a order_n 15._o out_o of_o what_o have_v be_v say_v too_o both_o the_o notion_n and_o difference_n of_o three_o duration_n be_v evident_a 3._o of_o time_n explicate_v at_o the_o beginning_n of_o eternity_n when_o we_o treat_v of_o god_n 15._o last_o of_o eviternity_n in_o intelligence_n lesson_n xviii_o of_o the_o manner_n of_o action_n on_o the_o subject_n side_n 1._o the_o solution_n also_o of_o that_o old_a question_n be_v evident_a why_o god_n make_v not_o the_o world_n before_o for_o if_o we_o consider_v that_o there_o be_v no_o begin_n of_o a_o infinite_a and_o that_o where_o there_o be_v no_o beginning_n there_o can_v be_v no_o determinate_a distance_n from_o the_o beginning_n it_o will_v appear_v that_o it_o be_v impossible_a there_o shall_v be_v any_o eternal_a flux_n of_o time_n or_o instant_n even_o by_o imagination_n wherein_o there_o can_v be_v take_v a_o now_o and_o then_o and_o any_o constant_a difference_n of_o duration_n or_o something_o to_o be_v before_o something_o after_o determine_v 2._o wherefore_o such_o a_o question_n proceed_v from_o the_o weakness_n and_o infirmity_n of_o our_o understanding_n and_o signify_v nothing_o and_o consequent_o bear_v no_o answer_n for_o for_o god_n to_o make_v this_o world_n before_o in_o time_n that_o he_o make_v it_o will_v be_v to_o have_v make_v a_o world_n before_o a_o world_n since_o the_o time_n of_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o world_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o the_o very_a motion_n with_o which_o the_o world_n begin_v to_o be_v move_v 3._o in_o like_a manner_n evident_a be_v the_o solution_n of_o that_o question_n whether_o god_n can_v make_v a_o permanent_a thing_n that_o be_v who_o essence_n include_v not_o succession_n from_o all_o eternity_n for_o if_o there_o be_v no_o quiddity_n or_o possibility_n of_o a_o infinite_a in_o succession_n it_o be_v clear_a that_o god_n can_v not_o so_o make_v a_o creature_n that_o it_o shall_v have_v eternity_n by_o relation_n to_o infinite_a succession_n therefore_o not_o otherwise_o then_o by_o some_o positive_a eminence_n confer_v on_o it_o since_o therefore_o duration_n consist_v in_o the_o connection_n of_o existence_n to_o a_o thing_n he_o can_v no_o otherwise_o make_v a_o creature_n from_o eternity_n then_o by_o give_v it_o such_o a_o connection_n by_o which_o simple_o it_o can_v not_o notbe_a wherein_o consist_v the_o very_a eternity_n itself_o of_o god_n clearly_n therefore_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o even_o a_o permanent_a thing_n can_v have_v be_v from_o eternity_n 4._o but_o as_o for_o the_o not-immediate_a action_n of_o god_n or_o which_o be_v all_o one_o as_o it_o be_v the_o same_o with_o the_o action_n of_o the_o creature_n it_o be_v plain_a the_o same_o account_n be_v to_o be_v give_v as_o of_o the_o action_n of_o the_o creature_n and_o of_o these_o philosopher_n have_v pronounce_v that_o action_n be_v something_o between_o the_o agent_n and_o effect_n as_o in_o the_o change_n of_o place_n between_o the_o rest_n in_o the_o term_n whence_o and_o the_o term_n whether_o there_o interven_n motion_n which_o they_o false_o imagine_v to_o be_v more_o beings-in-place_n successive_o since_o as_o aristotle_n have_v demonstrate_v all_o that_o time_n the_o movable_a happen_v not_o to_o be_v in_o a_o place_n equal_a to_o it_o whereas_o yet_o equality_n be_v of_o the_o very_a notion_n of_o place_n 5._o so_o too_o in_o other_o mutation_n especial_o that_o which_o be_v call_v substantial_a generation_n the_o subject_a by_o the_o precedent_a motion_n which_o proper_o be_v the_o very_a action_n be_v not_o neither_o actual_o nor_o in_o part_n in_o the_o term_n itself_o but_o be_v change_v only_o in_o its_o quality_n 6._o so_o too_o it_o fall_v out_o in_o rarefaction_n which_o be_v immediate_o from_o a_o intelligence_n for_o since_o the_o proportion_n of_o a_o intelligence_n to_o a_o body_n be_v finite_a it_o can_v instantaneous_o reduce_v a_o body_n to_o any_o how-little-soever-a_a degree_n of_o rarity_n wherefore_o there_o must_v of_o necessity_n between_o it_o prepare_v for_o action_n and_o the_o term_n intervene_v some_o motion_n during_o which_o the_o body_n rarify_v be_v neither_o in_o any_o determinate_a degree_n of_o rarity_n nor_o in_o any_o determinate_a place_n 7._o out_o of_o all_o which_o this_o at_o length_n be_v conclude_v what_o a_o kind_n of_o be_v passion_n or_o mutation_n have_v in_o the_o subject_a for_o since_o it_o be_v repugnant_a the_o formal_a part_n in_o a_o compound_v shall_v be_v actual_a they_o must_v be_v only_o in_o possibility_n or_o power_n and_o some_o other_o three_o thing_n resolvable_a into_o part_n actual_o exist_v 8._o this_o three_o thing_n therefore_o have_v a_o certain_a resolvable_a and_o changeable_a nature_n wherefore_o it_o be_v clear_a there_o be_v some_o cause_n which_o have_v the_o power_n of_o change_v it_o let_v b_o therefore_o be_v the_o changeable_a nature_n a_o the_o change_a cause_n if_o a_o be_v apply_v to_o b_o must_v not_o b_o of_o necessity_n become_v another_o thing_n than_o it_o be_v that_o be_v be_v change_v 9_o this_o be_v therefore_o for_o b_o to_o have_v suffer_v by_o mean_n of_o a_o viz._n to_o become_v another_o thing_n than_o it_o be_v another_o thing_n i_o say_v or_o alter_v for_o if_o nothing_o perceivable_a remain_v it_o be_v become_v another_o thing_n but_o if_o there_o remain_v whereby_o it_o may_v be_v mark_v to_o be_v this_o same_o as_o be_v before_o it_o be_v only_o alter_v because_o the_o foundation_n or_o that_o which_o be_v the_o sustainer_n still_o remain_v but_o it_o be_v innovate_v in_o some_o respect_n 10._o for_o example_n let_v there_o be_v a_o gallon_n of_o water_n in_o a_o cubicall_a vessel_n and_o to_o avoid_v dispute_n about_o a_o thing_n that_o concern_v we_o not_o let_v we_o suppose_v the_o figure_n to_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o that_o that_o very_a quantity_n according_a to_o its_o three_o dimension_n be_v no_o far_o extend_v then_o actual_o it_o be_v which_o conceit_n be_v pure_o negative_a can_v add_v nothing_o to_o the_o quantity_n let_v the_o same_o water_n then_o be_v suppose_v in_o a_o vessel_n of_o another_o figure_n and_o consequent_o itself_o too_o to_o have_v put_v on_o other_o limit_n since_o the_o former_a term_n be_v nothing_o but_o the_o very_a quantity_n of_o the_o water_n neither_o can_v the_o late_a differ_v from_o it_o 11._o it_o be_v evident_a therefore_o that_o this_o quantity_n remain_v a_o gallon_n which_o be_v its_o difference_n whereby_o as_o

therefore_o if_o the_o power_n of_o two_o such_o vessel_n be_v suppose_v successive_o apply_v it_o be_v clear_a pure_o upon_o the_o water_n be_v and_o their_o conjunction_n there_o follow_v a_o
