first_o that_o be_v immediate_a and_o proximate_a because_o it_o must_v be_v equal_a to_o the_o body_n which_o it_o contain_v internal_a for_o if_o it_o be_v the_o external_a surface_n it_o will_v

internal_o correspond_v to_o the_o extension_n of_o the_o part_n he_o define_v it_o by_o a_o outward_a circumference_n by_o which_o account_n soul_n angel_n and_o other_o spiritual_a substance_n shall_v not_o be_v contain_v in_o a_o place_n as_o it_o be_v certain_a they_o be_v though_o definitive_o not_o circumscriptive_o in_o regard_n they_o move_v from_o one_o place_n to_o another_o yea_o the_o whole_a world_n shall_v not_o have_v a_o place_n since_o it_o can_v be_v contain_v by_o any_o thing_n but_o contain_v all_o it_o be_v also_o incongruous_a to_o say_v with_o some_o that_o the_o place_n of_o the_o world_n be_v its_o centre_n which_o be_v too_o small_a to_o design_v the_o place_n of_o so_o great_a a_o body_n and_o if_o a_o point_n be_v the_o place_n of_o the_o world_n the_o place_n of_o a_o pismire_n shall_v be_v great_a than_o that_o of_o the_o world_n what_o other_o say_v that_o place_n be_v only_o the_o extension_n of_o thing_n can_v consist_v with_o the_o place_n of_o spiritual_a form_n which_o yet_o have_v a_o distinct_a extension_n as_o other_o corporeal_a form_n have_v and_o we_o change_v place_n every_o moment_n although_o we_o have_v always_o the_o same_o extension_n i_o conceive_v therefore_o the_o place_n be_v relative_a to_o the_o thing_n place_v aught_o to_o be_v define_v by_o it_o according_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o relative_n and_o so_o place_n be_v nothing_o but_o the_o space_n occupy_v by_o the_o body_n place_v which_o be_v that_o long_a broad_a and_o deep_a interval_n which_o receive_v the_o same_o moreover_o space_n which_o will_v be_v void_a if_o one_o body_n do_v not_o succeed_v another_o have_v all_o the_o condition_n requisite_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o place_n for_o first_o it_o be_v nothing_o of_o the_o thing_n place_v be_v a_o pure_a nothing_o 2._o it_o be_v immovable_a be_v of_o itself_o incapable_a of_o motion_n 3._o it_o be_v equal_a to_o the_o body_n place_v the_o whole_a space_n answer_v to_o the_o whole_a body_n and_o every_o part_n to_o every_o part_n 4._o it_o receive_v sometime_o one_o body_n and_o sometime_o another_o and_o last_o two_o equal_a space_n contain_v as_o much_o the_o one_o as_o the_o other_o the_o three_o say_v that_o place_n define_v the_o immovable_a surface_n of_o a_o ambient_fw-la body_n can_v agree_v to_o the_o air_n because_o its_o surface_n be_v not_o immovable_a but_o if_o this_o immobility_n be_v mean_v of_o the_o whole_a body_n of_o the_o air_n this_o inconvenience_n will_v follow_v that_o the_o external_a surface_n of_o the_o air_n be_v not_o proportionate_a to_o the_o quantity_n of_o the_o particular_a body_n which_o it_o encompass_v the_o define_n of_o place_n to_o be_v the_o space_n occupy_v by_o the_o body_n place_v explicate_v the_o place_n of_o body_n but_o not_o of_o incorporeal_a thing_n as_o the_o soul_n and_o angel_n which_o have_v no_o extension_n shall_v have_v no_o space_n and_o consequent_o be_v in_o no_o place_n wherefore_o i_o conceive_v that_o place_n be_v a_o external_a affection_n of_o figure_n and_o quantity_n must_v not_o be_v take_v in_o the_o concave_a superficies_n of_o the_o body_n which_o touch_v it_o but_o in_o the_o convex_a of_o that_o which_o be_v contain_v and_o so_o this_o superficies_n will_v be_v immovable_a since_o the_o quantity_n of_o the_o body_n remain_v the_o same_o and_o always_o equal_a to_o the_o body_n contain_v without_o penetration_n because_o it_o have_v no_o profundity_n likewise_o every_o body_n will_v be_v likewise_o in_o its_o own_o place_n and_o as_o for_o thing_n incorruptible_a and_o incorporeal_a the_o angel_n and_o the_o heaven_n their_o place_n will_v be_v always_o the_o extremity_n of_o their_o substance_n the_o four_o say_v that_o if_o there_o be_v any_o place_n in_o nature_n which_o receive_v body_n it_o must_v either_o be_v a_o body_n itself_o or_o a_o vacuum_n a_o body_n it_o can_v be_v for_o then_o two_o absurdity_n will_v follow_v namely_o penetration_n of_o dimension_n one_o body_n be_v within_o another_o and_o a_o progress_n to_o infinity_n for_o place_n be_v a_o body_n it_o must_v be_v in_o another_o place_n this_o in_o a_o three_o this_o three_o in_o a_o four_o and_o so_o to_o

which_o of_o the_o two_o be_v absolute_o to_o be_v prefer_v before_o the_o other_o but_o it_o lie_v in_o the_o power_n of_o prudence_n to_o determine_v according_a to_o the_o variety_n of_o case_n

here_o we_o only_o adore_v mystery_n but_o fathom_n they_o not_o we_o seek_v the_o natural_a cause_n of_o the_o variety_n of_o speech_n and_o whither_o as_o there_o be_v but_o one_o at_o the_o first_o
