for_o these_o be_v as_o true_o corporeal_a as_o other_o part_n of_o the_o humane_a statue_n can_v make_v impression_n upon_o a_o substance_n perfect_o incorporeal_a and_o which_o be_v not_o

the_o good_a pleasure_n of_o the_o author_n of_o humane_a nature_n to_o have_v it_o so_o and_o if_o the_o question_n be_v ask_v about_o the_o differ_a object_n of_o any_o one_o particular_a sense_n

i_o observe_v the_o most_o to_o alienate_v other_o sect_n from_o the_o mechanical_a philosophy_n namely_o that_o they_o think_v it_o pretend_v to_o have_v principle_n so_o universal_a and_o so_o mathematical_a that_o no_o other_o physical_a hypothesis_n can_v comport_v with_o it_o or_o be_v tolerate_v by_o it_o but_o this_o i_o look_v upon_o as_o a_o easy_a indeed_o but_o a_o important_a mistake_v because_o by_o this_o very_a thing_n that_o the_o mechanical_a principle_n be_v so_o universal_a and_o therefore_o applicable_a to_o so_o many_o thing_n they_o be_v rather_o fit_v to_o include_v than_o necessitate_v to_o exclude_v any_o other_o hypothesis_n that_o be_v found_v in_o nature_n as_o far_o as_o it_o be_v so_o and_o such_o hypothesis_n if_o prudent_o consider_v by_o a_o skilful_a and_o moderate_a person_n who_o be_v rather_o dispose_v to_o unite_v sect_n than_o multiply_v they_o will_v be_v find_v as_o far_o as_o they_o have_v truth_n in_o they_o to_o be_v either_o legitimate_o though_o perhaps_o not_o immediate_o deducible_a from_o the_o mechanical_a principle_n or_o fair_o reconcilable_a to_o they_o for_o such_o hypothesis_n will_v probable_o attempt_v to_o account_v for_o the_o phaenomena_n of_o nature_n either_o by_o the_o help_n of_o a_o determinate_a number_n of_o material_a ingredient_n such_o as_o the_o tria_fw-la prima_fw-la of_o the_o chemist_n by_o participation_n whereof_o other_o body_n obtain_v their_o quality_n or_o else_o by_o introduce_v some_o general_a agent_n as_o the_o platonic_a soul_n of_o the_o world_n or_o the_o universal_a spirit_n assert_v by_o some_o spagyrist_n or_o by_o both_o these_o way_n together_o now_o to_o dispatch_v first_o those_o that_o i_o name_v in_o the_o second_o place_n i_o consider_v that_o the_o chief_a thing_n that_o inquisitive_a naturalist_n shall_v look_v after_o in_o the_o explicate_a of_o difficult_a phaenomena_n be_v not_o so_o much_o what_o the_o agent_n be_v or_o do_v as_o what_o change_n be_v make_v in_o the_o patient_n to_o bring_v it_o to_o exhibit_v the_o phaenomena_n that_o be_v propose_v and_o by_o what_o mean_n and_o after_o what_o manner_n those_o change_n be_v effect_v so_o that_o the_o mechanical_a philosopher_n be_v satisfy_v that_o one_o part_n of_o matter_n can_v act_v upon_o another_o but_o by_o virtue_n of_o local_a motion_n or_o the_o effect_n and_o
phaenomena_n and_o notwithstanding_o the_o immateriality_n of_o a_o create_a agent_n we_o can_v conceive_v how_o it_o shall_v produce_v change_n in_o a_o body_n without_o the_o help_n of_o mechanical_a principle_n especial_o local_a motion_n and_o according_o we_o find_v not_o that_o the_o reasonable_a soul_n in_o man_n be_v able_a to_o produce_v what_o change_v it_o please_v in_o the_o body_n but_o be_v confine_v to_o such_o as_o it_o may_v produce_v by_o determine_v or_o guide_v the_o motion_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o other_o part_n of_o the_o body_n subservient_fw-fr to_o voluntary_a motion_n v._o and_o if_o the_o agent_n or_o active_a principle_n resort_v to_o be_v not_o immaterial_a but_o of_o a_o corporeal_a nature_n they_o must_v either_o in_o effect_n be_v the_o same_o with_o the_o corporeal_a principle_n abovenamed_a or_o because_o of_o the_o great_a universality_n &_o simplicity_n of_o we_o the_o new_a one_o propose_v must_v be_v less_o general_a than_o they_o and_o consequent_o capable_a of_o be_v subordinate_v or_o reduce_v to_o we_o which_o by_o various_a composition_n may_v afford_v matter_n to_o several_a hypothesis_n and_o by_o several_a
