the_o custom_n of_o their_o breed_n in_o the_o school_n of_o aristotle_n and_o socrates_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o ancient_a author_n or_o else_o they_o consider_v not_o my_o opinion_n enough_o for_o if_o they_o do_v they_o may_v see_v as_o much_o probability_n for_o i_o as_o any_o of_o their_o opinion_n for_o though_o in_o natural_a philosophy_n there_o may_v be_v many_o touch_v find_v out_o by_o

because_o young_a for_o though_o age_n ought_v to_o have_v respect_n yet_o not_o so_o as_o to_o do_v youth_n wrong_v but_o i_o hope_v my_o new_a bear_a opinion_n will_v be_v nourish_v in_o noble_a

matter_n figure_n and_o motion_n be_v the_o god_n that_o create_v fortune_n for_o fortune_n be_v nothing_o in_o itself_o but_o various_a motion_n gather_v or_o draw_v to_o a_o point_n which_o point_n man_n only_o think_v it_o fix_v upon_o he_o but_o he_o be_v deceive_v for_o it_o fix_v upon_o all_o other_o thing_n for_o if_o any_o thing_n come_v and_o rub_v off_o the_o bark_n of_o a_o tree_n or_o break_v the_o tree_n it_o be_v a_o miss-fortune_n to_o that_o tree_n and_o if_o a_o house_n be_v build_v in_o such_o a_o place_n as_o to_o shelter_v a_o tree_n from_o great_a storm_n or_o cold_a weather_n it_o be_v good_a fortune_n to_o that_o tree_n and_o if_o a_o beast_n be_v hurt_v it_o be_v a_o miss-fortune_n to_o that_o beast_n or_o bird_n and_o when_o a_o beast_n or_o bird_n be_v

only_o various_a motion_n draw_v to_o a_o point_n and_o that_o point_n that_o come_v from_o cross_a motion_n we_o call_v bad_a fortune_n and_o those_o that_o come_v from_o sympathetical_a motion_n we_o call_v good_a fortune_n and_o there_o must_v needs_o be_v antipathetical_a motion_n as_o well_o as_o sympathetical_a motion_n since_o motion_n be_v so_o various_a but_o man_n and_o for_o all_o

first_o matter_n nor_o no_o first_o motion_n because_o eternal_a and_o infinite_a yet_o there_o can_v be_v no_o motion_n without_o matter_n for_o matter_n be_v the_o cause_n motion_n but_o the_o effect_n of_o matter_n for_o there_o can_v be_v no_o motion_n unless_o there_o be_v matter_n to_o be_v move_v but_o there_o may_v be_v matter_n and_o figure_n without_o motion_n as_o a_o infinite_a and_o eternal_a dull_a lump_n for_o i_o see_v no_o reason_n but_o infinite_a may_v be_v without_o run_v forward_o or_o circle-waye_n if_o there_o be_v not_o several_a degree_n of_o the_o only_a matter_n wherein_o motion_n be_v a_o infinite_a eternal_a effect_n of_o such_o a_o degree_n neither_o be_v it_o nonsense_n to_o say_v figure_n be_v the_o effect_n of_o matter_n for_o though_o there_o be_v no_o matter_n without_o figure_n yet_o there_o can_v be_v no_o figure_n without_o matter_n wherefore_o matter_n be_v the_o prime_a cause_n of_o figure_n yet_o there_o can_v be_v no_o figure_n without_o matter_n wherefore_o matter_n be_v the_o prime_a cause_n of_o figure_n but_o not_o figure_n of_o matter_n for_o figure_n do_v not_o make_v matter_n but_o matter_n figure_n no_o more_o than_o the_o creature_n can_v make_v the_o creator_n but_o a_o creature_n may_v make_v a_o figure_n thus_o although_o there_o be_v no_o first_o matter_n yet_o matter_n be_v the_o first_o cause_n of_o motion_n and_o figure_n and_o all_o effect_n although_o they_o be_v as_o infinite_a and_o eternal_a as_o matter_n itself_o and_o when_o i_o say_v matter_n prime_a i_o speak_v for_o distinction_n sake_n which_o be_v the_o only_a matter_n the_o innate_a matter_n be_v the_o soul_n of_o nature_n the_o dull_a part_n of_o matter_n the_o body_n and_o the_o infinite_a figure_n be_v the_o infinite_a

and_o eternal_a as_o the_o cause_n because_o all_o effect_n lie_v in_o matter_n and_o motion_n indeed_o in_o matter_n only_o for_o motion_n be_v but_o the_o effect_n of_o matter_n wherefore_o all_o particular_a figure_n although_o dssiolvable_a yet_o be_v inherent_a in_o the_o matter_n and_o motion_n as_o for_o example_n if_o a_o man_n can_v draw_v the_o picture_n of_o a_o man_n or_o any_o thing_n else_o although_o he_o never_o draw_v it_o yet_o the_o art_n be_v inherent_a in_o the_o man_n and_o the_o picture_n in_o the_o art_n as_o long_o as_o the_o man_n live_v so_o as_o long_o as_o there_o be_v matter_n and_o motion_n which_o be_v from_o all_o eternity_n and_o shall_v be_v eternal_o the_o effect_n will_v be_v so_o chap._n 63._o whether_o motion_n be_v a_o thing_n or_o nothing_o or_o can_v be_v annihilate_v some_o have_v opinion_n that_o motion_n be_v nothing_o but_o to_o my_o reason_n it_o be_v a_o thing_n for_o if_o matter_n be_v a_o substance_n a_o substance_n be_v a_o thing_n and_o the_o motion_n and_o matter_n be_v unseparable_o unite_v make_v it_o but_o one_o thing_n for_o as_o there_o can_v be_v no_o motion_n without_o such_o a_o degree_n or_o extract_v of_o matter_n so_o there_o can_v be_v no_o such_o degree_n or_o extract_v matter_n of_o matter_n without_o motion_n thus_o motion_n be_v a_o thing_n but_o by_o reason_n particular_a motion_n leave_v move_v in_o such_o matter_n and_o figure_n shall_v we_o say_v they_o be_v decease_v dead_a or_o become_v nothing_o but_o say_v some_o motion_n be_v accident_n and_o accident_n be_v nothing_o but_o i_o say_v all_o accident_n live_v in_o substance_n as_o all_o effect_n in_o the_o cause_n say_v some_o when_o a_o man_n for_o example_n shake_v his_o hand_n and_o when_o he_o leave_v shake_v whether_o be_v that_o motion_n go_v say_v other_o no_o where_o for_o that_o particular_a motion_n cease_v to_o be_v say_v they_o i_o answer_v that_o my_o reason_n tell_v i_o it_o be_v neither_o flee_v away_o nor_o

hand_n but_o some_o will_v say_v the_o hand_n never_o move_v so_o again_o but_o i_o say_v the_o motion_n be_v never_o the_o less_o there_o they_o may_v as_o well_o say_v when_o they_o have_v see_v a_o chest_n full_a of_o gold_n or_o the_o like_a and_o when_o their_o eye_n be_v shut_v or_o that_o they_o never_o see_v it_o more_o that_o the_o gold_n do_v not_o lie_v in_o the_o chest_n although_o

shall_v be_v hurt_v or_o lame_v by_o some_o unhappy_a accident_n but_o if_o there_o be_v any_o other_o fault_n of_o indiscretion_n in_o it_o i_o the_o author_n be_o to_o be_v pardon_v by_o reason_n
