maintain_v the_o like_a opinion_n be_v here_o likewise_o answer_v and_o his_o fallacy_n discover_v iii_o a_o confutation_n of_o their_o tenet_n also_o who_o affirm_v that_o the_o soul_n be_v a_o

deliver_v somewhat_o in_o answer_n of_o they_o and_o it_o shall_v be_v the_o same_o which_o the_o platonist_n have_v thereunto_o reply_v heretofore_o cleanthes_n compose_v a_o syllogism_n in_o this_o manner_n there_o be_v say_v he_o a_o likeness_n between_o we_o and_o our_o parent_n not_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o body_n only_o but_o in_o regard_n also_o of_o the_o soldy_a as_o in_o passion_n manner_n and_o affection_n now_o it_o pertain_v to_o a_o body_n to_o have_v in_o it_o likeness_n and_o unlikeness_n and_o likeness_n and_o unlikeness_n can_v belong_v to_o thing_n void_a of_o body_n therefore_o the_o soul_n be_v a_o bodily-thing_n it_o be_v here_o to_o be_v observe_v first_o that_o he_o prove_v thing_n universal_a by_o thing_n particular_a which_o be_v not_o allowable_a by_o the_o rule_n of_o logic_n next_o whereas_o he_o say_v that_o likeness_n and_o unlikeness_n can_v pertain_v to_o any_o thing_n void_a of_o body_n it_o be_v false_a for_o we_o know_v that_o number_n which_o have_v their_o side-number_n answer_v in_o proportion_n be_v like_o one_o to_o another_o as_o the_o side-number_n to_o six_o and_o to_o four_o and_o twenty_o the_o side-number_n to_o six_o be_v two_o and_o three_o the_o side_n number_n to_o four_o and_o twenty_o be_v four_o and_o six_o now_o there_o be_v like_a proportion_n of_o two_o in_o respect_n of_o four_o and_o of_o three_o in_o respect_n of_o six_o for_o they_o have_v a_o double_a proportion_n each_o in_o respect_n of_o other_o four_o being_n twice_o as_o much_o as_o two_o and_o six_o twice_o as_o much_o as_o three_o thus_o it_o appear_v that_o number_n be_v like_a unto_o number_n &_o yet_o number_n be_v no_o bodily_a thing_n likewise_o figure_n in_o geometry_n be_v like_a unto_o figure_n so_o many_o of_o they_o as_o have_v both_o their_o corner_n equal_a &_o their_o side_n which_o enclose_v their_o equall-corner_n answer_v one_o another_o in_o proportion_n and_o even_o the_o platonist_n themselves_o will_v confess_v that_o such_o figure_n be_v no_o bodily-thing_n moreover_o as_o it_o be_v a_o propriety_n in_o the_o predicament_n of_o quantity_n that_o a_o thing_n shall_v be_v equal_a or_o unequal_a so_o also_o it_o be_v a_o propriety_n in_o the_o predicament_n of_o quality_n that_o thing_n shall_v be_v like_a or_o unlike_a now_o the_o predicament_n of_o quality_n be_v a_o incorporeal_a thing_n therefore_o a_o thing_n incorporeal_a may_v be_v like_a unto_o another_o thing_n that_o be_v incorporeal_a cleanthes_n thus_o frame_v another_o argument_n no_o incorporeal_a thing_n say_v he_o can_v suffer_v together_o with_o a_o thing_n corporeal_a neither_o can_v a_o bodily-thing_n suffer_v with_o such_o a_o thing_n as_o have_v no_o body_n but_o thing_n corporeal_a only_a may_v suffer_v one_o with_o another_o now_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o if_o the_o body_n be_v disease_v and_o wound_v the_o soul_n suffer_v grief_n with_o it_o the_o body_n suffer_v also_o with_o the_o soldy_a for_o when_o the_o mind_n be_v afflict_v by_o shame_n the_o body_n blush_v and_o when_o the_o mind_n fear_v the_o body_n look_v pale_a therefore_o the_o soul_n be_v a_o corporeal_a thing_n one_o of_o his_o assumption_n be_v false_a and_o he_o take_v unto_o himself_o that_o which_o no_o man_n grant_v for_o whereas_o he_o say_v that_o no_o incorporeal_a thing_n can_v suffer_v with_o a_o thing_n have_v a_o body_n what_o if_o this_o be_v true_a only_o in_o the_o soldy_a this_o be_v as_o if_o we_o shall_v argue_v thus_o no_o living-creature_n move_v the_o upper_a jaw_n but_o a_o crocodile_n move_v the_o upper_a jaw_n therefore_o a_o crocodile_n be_v no_o living-creature_n the_o major_a of_o this_o proposition_n be_v false_a because_o in_o say_v no_o living-creature_n move_v the_o upper-jaw_n he_o take_v as_o grant_v that_o which_o be_v deny_v for_o behold_v the_o crocodile_n both_o move_v his_o upper-jaw_n and_o be_v also_o a_o living-creature_n the_o like_a argue_v use_v he_o who_o say_v that_o nothing_o void_a of_o body_n suffer_v together_o with_o a_o bodily-thing_n for_o he_o take_v unto_o himself_o in_o his_o negation_n that_o which_o lie_v in_o question_n but_o if_o we_o shall_v grant_v for_o argument_n sake_n that_o no_o incorporeall-thing_n do_v suffer_v together_o with_o a_o thing-corporeall_a yet_o that_o which_o be_v infer_v thereupon_o be_v not_o full_o confess_v to_o wit_n that_o the_o soul_n suffer_v with_o the_o body_n if_o it_o be_v sick_a or_o wound_v for_o it_o be_v yet_o in_o controversy_n whether_o it_o be_v the_o body_n only_o that_o suffer_v pain_n which_o have_v take_v sense_n from_o the_o soul_n leave_v the_o same_o insensible_a of_o suffering_n or_o whether_o the_o soul_n be_v grieve_v together_o with_o the_o body_n the_o former_a opinion_n have_v hitherto_o be_v most_o general_o receive_v among_o learned_a man_n and_o therefore_o cleanthes_n ought_v not_o to_o have_v make_v his_o proposition_n of_o thing_n in_o question_n but_o of_o such_o only_a as_o be_v quite_o out_o of_o doubt_n for_o in_o do_v otherwise_o he_o in_o vain_a labour_v to_o demonstrate_v that_o for_o which_o he_o contend_v and_o yet_o to_o make_v the_o fashood_n of_o his_o assumption_n more_o evident_a it_o may_v be_v prove_v that_o some_o thing_n void_a of_o body_n do_v suffer_v together_o with_o such_o thing_n as_o have_v body_n for_o quality_n be_v things-incorporeall_a do_v suffer_v with_o corporeall-thing_n when_o they_o be_v alter_v yea_o both_o in_o the_o corruption_n of_o the_o body_n and_o in_o the_o generation_n of_o the_o same_o the_o quality_n thereof_o suffer_v change_n and_o alteration_n therewith_o chrysippus_n thus_o argue_v death_n be_v a_o separation_n of_o the_o soul_n from_o the_o body_n now_o nothing_o void_a of_o body_n be_v separate_v from_o a_o body_n because_o a_o thing_n incorporeal_a can_v be_v touch_v or_o lay_v even_o along_o by_o a_o corporeall-thing_n but_o the_o soul_n touch_v and_o be_v equal_o touch_v by_o the_o body_n and_o be_v also_o separate_v from_o the_o same_o therefore_o the_o soul_n be_v a_o corporeall-essence_n among_o these_o proposition_n this_o be_v true_a that_o death_n be_v a_o separation_n of_o the_o soul_n from_o the_o body_n but_o this_o that_o a_o thing_n void_a of_o body_n can_v touch_v a_o body_n be_v false_a if_o it_o be_v general_o speak_v and_o true_a if_o it_o be_v affirm_v of_o the_o soul_n it_o be_v false_a because_o a_o line_n which_o be_v a_o incorporeall-thing_n do_v even_o touch_v a_o corporeall-essence_n and_o be_v also_o separate_v from_o the_o same_o as_o also_o whiteness_n yet_o in_o the_o soul_n it_o be_v true_a by_o reason_n the_o soul_n do_v not_o so_o touch_v the_o body_n for_o if_o the_o soul_n shall_v so_o touch_v the_o body_n it_o must_v needs_o follow_v that_o it_o must_v be_v lay_v as_o it_o be_v along_o by_o it_o and_o if_o that_o be_v so_o than_o it_o lie_v along_o by_o the_o whole_a body_n that_o be_v by_o every_o part_n of_o the_o same_o which_o be_v impossible_a for_o how_o can_v a_o wholebody_n lie_v along_o by_o every_o part_n of_o another_o body_n or_o if_o it_o shall_v be_v that_o the_o soul_n so_o touch_v the_o body_n then_o the_o whole_a creature_n shall_v not_o have_v life_n for_o if_o it_o so_o touch_v the_o same_o it_o will_v indeed_o consequent_o follow_v that_o the_o soul_n be_v a_o corporeall-essence_n but_o then_o the_o thing_n make_v alive_a shall_v not_o have_v life_n in_o it_o throughout_o every_o part_n of_o the_o same_o and_o contrariwise_o if_o the_o whole_a living-creature_n have_v life_n in_o it_o than_o the_o soul_n neither_o touch_v the_o body_n neither_o be_v it_o a_o bodily-thing_n but_o the_o whole_a living-creature_n have_v life_n in_o it_o therefore_o neither_o do_v the_o soul_n touch_v it_o neither_o be_v the_o soul_n a_o bodily-thing_n and_o be_v a_o thing_n void_a of_o body_n be_v nevertheless_o separate_v from_o the_o body_n contrary_a to_o the_o proposition_n of_o chrysippus_n it_o be_v manifest_a by_o what_o have_v be_v hitherto_o say_v that_o the_o soul_n be_v no_o corpreall-substance_n it_o now_o remain_v that_o we_o prove_v the_o same_o to_o be_v a_o substance_n and_o because_o dinarchus_n define_v the_o soul_n to_o be_v a_o harmony_n and_o simmias_n contradict_v socrates_n affirm_v the_o same_o compare_v the_o soul_n to_o a_o harmony_n and_o the_o body_n to_o a_o harp_n we_o will_v here_o set_v down_o the_o same_o confutation_n of_o they_o which_o we_o find_v in_o plato_n dialogue_n call_v phaedon_n one_o of_o they_o

lifelesse-body_n there_o may_v be_v a_o perfect_a union_n for_o the_o possibility_n of_o this_o thing_n appear_v somewhat_o doubtful_a and_o it_o be_v much_o the_o more_o doubtful_a it_o man_n

this_o respect_n that_o all_o those_o thing_n which_o concur_v unto_o the_o make_n of_o one_o essence_n be_v join_v all_o together_o in_o the_o make_n of_o that_o one_o see_v all_o such_o thing_n as_o

treaty_n of_o the_o four_o element_n how_o then_o can_v the_o body_n be_v unite_v unto_o the_o soul_n remain_v still_o a_o body_n or_o how_o can_v the_o soul_n be_v incorporeal_a and_o have_v a_o substance_n of_o his_o own_o be_v unite_v with_o the_o body_n and_o become_v a_o part_n of_o the_o living-creature_n preserve_v still_o his_o own_o proper_a substance_n without_o corruption_n and_o confusion_n it_o seem_v to_o be_v no_o way_n else_o possible_a but_o that_o the_o soul_n and_o the_o body_n must_v by_o their_o union_n one_o with_o other_o either_o become_v alter_v one_o with_o the_o other_o or_o corrupt_v with_o each_o other_o as_o the_o element_n be_v or_o else_o to_o avoid_v those_o absurdity_n that_o they_o shall_v not_o be_v true_o unite_v but_o be_v so_o join_v only_o as_o dancer_n be_v in_o their_o dance_n or_o lie_v one_o by_o the_o other_o as_o counter_n in_o a_o sum_n or_o at_o best_o be_v so_o mix_v as_o wine_n and_o water_n but_o we_o have_v already_o declare_v in_o my_o treatise_n upon_o the_o soul_n that_o the_o soul_n can_v be_v lay_v as_o it_o be_v along_o by_o the_o body_n because_o if_o it_o shall_v be_v so_o that_o part_n only_o of_o the_o body_n shall_v have_v life_n in_o it_o which_o join_v near_o unto_o the_o soul_n and_o that_o the_o part_n which_o the_o soul_n touch_v not_o shall_v be_v without_o life_n moreover_o we_o can_v say_v that_o two_o sundry_a thing_n place_v one_o beside_o the_o other_o as_o two_o piece_n of_o timber_n two_o iron_n wedge_n or_o such_o like_a be_v one_o and_o the_o same_o thing_n and_o as_o for_o such_o a_o mixture_n as_o be_v make_v of_o wine_n and_o water_n we_o know_v it_o corrupt_v both_o the_o one_o and_o the_o other_o for_o there_o do_v remain_v neither_o pure_a water_n nor_o pure_a wine_n after_o such_o a_o mixture_n yet_o this_o mixture_n of_o wine_n and_o water_n be_v but_o as_o it_o be_v a_o lay_v of_o they_o one_o beside_o another_o though_o our_o sense_n be_v not_o able_a to_o apprehend_v the_o same_o because_o they_o be_v hinder_v from_o perceive_v it_o by_o the_o thinness_n of_o the_o part_n of_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v mix_v for_o the_o wine_n and_o water_n may_v be_v separate_v again_o the_o one_o from_o the_o other_o by_o a_o sponge_n dip_v in_o oil_n or_o by_o paper_n either_o of_o which_o will_v suck_v away_o the_o pair_v water_n from_o the_o wine_n but_o indeed_o it_o be_v utter_o impossible_a to_o separate_v sensible_o one_o from_o the_o other_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v exact_o unite_v if_o therefore_o the_o part_n of_o man_n be_v neither_o unite_a nor_o place_v one_o beside_o the_o other_o nor_o mix_v together_o as_o aforesaid_a what_o reason_n shall_v move_v we_o to_o say_v that_o one_o live_v creature_n be_v make_v of_o these_o two_o part_n a_o soul_n and_o a_o body_n it_o be_v the_o consideration_n hereof_o which_o partly_o move_v plato_n to_o imagine_v that_o this_o living-creature_n do_v not_o consist_v of_o soul_n and_o body_n but_o that_o he_o be_v a_o soul_n have_v the_o use_n of_o the_o body_n and_o to_o who_o the_o body_n serve_v as_o a_o garment_n but_o even_o in_o affirm_v that_o he_o occasion_v as_o much_o doubt_n for_o how_o can_v the_o soul_n be_v one_o with_o what_o be_v but_o his_o garment_n see_v a_o coat_n be_v not_o all_o one_o with_o he_o that_o wear_v it_o but_o amonius_n who_o be_v master_n to_o

of_o they_o and_o after_o the_o manner_n of_o such_o thing_n as_o be_v corrupt_v together_o in_o their_o unite_n and_o yet_o remain_v as_o true_o without_o confusion_n or_o corruption_n when_o they_o be_v unite_v as_o those_o thing_n do_v which_o be_v but_o lay_v along_o one_o by_o another_o it_o be_v true_a that_o bodily-thing_n be_v perfect_o unite_v together_o must_v of_o necessity_n suffer_v
