without_o be_v move_v we_o be_v to_o inquire_v unto_o which_o of_o these_o two_o the_o soul_n belong_v but_o to_o apprehend_v the_o question_n right_o we_o will_v illustrate_v it_o by_o a_o example_n let_v we_o suppose_v that_o some_o action_n be_v fit_a to_o begin_v at_o ten_o of_o the_o clock_n now_o we_o may_v imagine_v a_o agent_n to_o begin_v this_o action_n in_o two_o different_a manner_n the_o one_o that_o the_o clock_n strike_v ten_o breed_v or_o stir_v somewhat_o in_o he_o from_o whence_o this_o action_n follow_v the_o other_o manner_n be_v that_o the_o agent_n may_v of_o his_o

move_v and_o order_v the_o clock_n as_o well_o as_o his_o own_o instrument_n he_o may_v of_o himself_o be_v fit_a and_o ready_a just_a at_o that_o hour_n to_o begin_v that_o action_n not_o as_o if_o the_o clock_n tell_v he_o what_o hour_n it_o be_v but_o as_o if_o he_o by_o govern_v the_o clock_n make_v that_o hour_n to_o be_v as_o well_o as_o he_o cause_v the_o action_n to_o begin_v at_o that_o hour_n in_o the_o first_o of_o these_o manner_n the_o agent_n be_v move_v to_o move_v but_o in_o the_o second_o he_o move_v of_o himself_o without_o be_v move_v by_o any_o thing_n else_o and_o in_o this_o second_o way_n our_o soul_n of_o her_o own_o nature_n communicate_v herself_o to_o quantitative_a thing_n and_o give_v they_o motion_n which_o follow_v out_o of_o what_o we_o have_v already_o

she_o will_v in_o the_o first_o instant_n of_o she_o be_v be_v perfect_a in_o knowledge_n or_o she_o will_v not_o if_o she_o be_v than_o will_v she_o be_v a_o perfect_a and_o complete_a immaterial_a

in_o this_o sense_n if_o any_o man_n shall_v make_v the_o least_o doubt_n it_o be_v easy_a to_o evince_v it_o as_o thus_o if_o nothing_o be_v want_v but_o the_o effect_n and_o yet_o the_o effect_n

all_o indivisible_a it_o follow_v clear_o that_o whatsoever_o concern_v they_o be_v not_o in_o this_o instant_n can_v never_o be_v instantaneous_o these_o two_o conclusion_n be_v thus_o demonstrate_v let_v we_o in_o the_o next_o place_n determine_v how_o all_o action_n of_o pure_a spirit_n which_o have_v no_o respect_n to_o body_n must_v of_o necessity_n be_v indivisible_a that_o be_v must_v include_v no_o continuate_a succession_n by_o which_o i_o mean_v such_o a_o succession_n as_o may_v be_v divide_v into_o part_n without_o end_n for_o if_o we_o look_v well_o into_o it_o we_o shall_v find_v that_o a_o continuate_a succession_n can_v not_o be_v a_o thing_n which_o have_v in_o itself_o a_o be_v and_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o the_o essence_n of_o such_o a_o succession_n consist_v in_o have_v some_o of_o its_o part_n already_o pass_v and_o other_o of_o they_o yet_o to_o come_v but_o on_o the_o other_o side_n it_o be_v evident_a that_o no_o such_o thing_n can_v be_v who_o essential_a ingredient_n be_v not_o itself_o and_o therefore_o it_o follow_v evident_o that_o such_o a_o thing_n as_o we_o call_v succession_n can_v have_v no_o be_v in_o itself_o see_v that_o one_o essential_a part_n of_o it_o never_o be_v with_o the_o other_o therefore_o such_o a_o succession_n must_v have_v its_o be_v in_o some_o permanent_a thing_n which_o must_v be_v divisible_a for_o that_o be_v essential_o require_v in_o succession_n but_o permanent_a divisibility_n be_v that_o which_o we_o call_v biggenesse_n or_o quantity_n from_o which_o pure_a spirit_n be_v free_a and_o therefore_o it_o be_v most_o evident_a that_o all_o their_o action_n in_o respect_n of_o themselves_o be_v absolute_o indivisible_a separation_n now_o to_o make_v use_n of_o this_o doctrine_n to_o our_o intent_n we_o say_v that_o since_o our_o soul_n when_o it_o be_v separate_v from_o our_o body_n be_v a_o pure_a spirit_n or_o understanding_n and_o that_o all_o her_o action_n be_v indivisible_a and_o that_o all_o action_n of_o other_o spirit_n upon_o she_o must_v likewise_o be_v such_o and_o by_o consequence_n that_o there_o can_v be_v no_o continuate_a succession_n of_o action_n among_o they_o we_o must_v of_o necessity_n conclude_v that_o according_a to_o the_o private_a nature_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o according_a to_o the_o common_a notion_n of_o spiritual_a thing_n there_o can_v be_v no_o change_n make_v in_o she_o after_o the_o first_o instant_n of_o her_o part_n from_o her_o body_n but_o what_o happiness_n or_o misery_n betide_v she_o in_o that_o instant_n continue_v with_o she_o for_o all_o eternity_n yet_o be_v it_o not_o my_o mind_n to_o say_v that_o by_o the_o course_n of_o the_o universal_a resolution_n from_o which_o she_o be_v not_o whole_o exempt_a and_o from_o supernatural_a administration_n of_o corporeal_a thing_n there_o may_v not_o result_v some_o change_n in_o she_o but_o the_o consideration_n of_o that_o matter_n i_o remit_v to_o those_o treatise_n unto_o which_o it_o belong_v as_o not_o depend_v nor_o ensue_v from_o the_o particular_a nature_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o therefore_o not_o fall_v under_o our_o discussion_n in_o this_o place_n this_o same_o conclusion_n may_v be_v prove_v by_o a_o other_o argument_n beside_o this_o which_o we_o have_v now_o use_v and_o it_o be_v this_o whatsoever_o work_v pure_o by_o understanding_n and_o mind_n can_v not_o be_v change_v in_o its_o operation_n unless_o its_o understanding_n or_o mind_n be_v alter_v but_o this_o can_v not_o happen_v unless_o either_o it_o learn_v somewhat_o it_o know_v not_o before_o or_o forget_v a_o foreknow_v truth_n it_o begin_v afterwards_o to_o think_v a_o falsity_n this_o second_o part_n be_v impossible_a as_o we_o have_v already_o show_v when_o we_o prove_v that_o

with_o time_n we_o have_v heretofore_o explicate_v how_o time_n be_v the_o motion_n of_o the_o heaven_n which_o give_v we_o our_o motion_n which_o measure_v all_o particular_a motion_n and_o which_o

soul_n who_o be_v total_o a_o be_v and_o have_v her_o whole_a operation_n all_o together_o as_o be_v nothing_o but_o herself_o when_o we_o speak_v of_o her_o perfective_a operation_n can_v not_o be_v

that_o diverse_a part_n of_o the_o essence_n be_v in_o diverse_a part_n of_o the_o brain_n than_o you_o make_v it_o impossible_a that_o the_o notion_n of_o ten_o shall_v be_v indivisible_a since_o

these_o motion_n proceed_v from_o spiritual_a judgement_n so_o far_o it_o be_v clear_a they_o must_v remain_v in_o the_o separate_a soul_n peradventure_o what_o i_o have_v say_v may_v be_v liable_a

over_o other_o who_o force_n according_a to_o nature_n ought_v to_o be_v great_a than_o it_o so_o that_o if_o we_o will_v frame_v a_o conception_n of_o a_o disorder_a soul_n when_o it_o be_v out_o

the_o most_o powerful_a and_o most_o forcible_a agent_n if_o then_o in_o these_o consideration_n we_o compare_v a_o separate_a soul_n to_o a_o body_n what_o a_o infinity_n of_o strength_n and_o

that_o can_v be_v imagine_v in_o nature_n for_o we_o have_v already_o show_v how_o a_o separate_a soul_n comprehend_v at_o once_o all_o place_n and_o all_o time_n so_o that_o her_o activity_n
