a_o supernatural_a something_o but_o a_o vacnum_n be_v a_o pure_a nothing_o both_o naturally_n and_o supernatural_o and_o god_n forbid_v i_o shall_v be_v so_o irreligious_a as_o to_o compare_v

perception_n do_v pattern_n out_o the_o exterior_a figure_n of_o colour_n as_o easy_o as_o of_o any_o other_o object_n yet_o all_o perception_n of_o colour_n be_v not_o make_v by_o pattern_v for_o as_o there_o be_v many_o perception_n which_o take_v no_o pattern_n from_o outward_a object_n so_o there_o be_v also_o perception_n of_o colour_n which_o never_o be_v present_v to_o our_o sensitive_a organ_n neither_o be_v any_o perception_n make_v by_o exterior_a object_n but_o by_o interior_a corporeal_a figurative_a motion_n for_o the_o object_n do_v not_o print_n or_o act_v any_o way_n upon_o the_o eye_n but_o it_o be_v the_o sensitive_a motion_n in_o the_o eye_n which_o pattern_n out_o the_o figure_n of_o the_o object_n and_o it_o be_v to_o be_v observe_v that_o as_o the_o part_n of_o some_o body_n do_v consist_v of_o several_a different_a figure_n which_o the_o learned_a call_v heterogeneous_a one_o figure_n be_v include_v within_o another_o and_o some_o again_o their_o part_n be_v but_o of_o one_o kind_n of_o figure_n which_o they_o call_v homogeneous_a body_n as_o for_o example_n water_n so_o it_o may_v be_v with_o colour_n for_o some_o their_o part_n may_v be_v quite_o thorough_a of_o one_o colour_n and_o other_o again_o may_v be_v of_o several_a colour_n and_o indeed_o most_o creature_n as_o they_o have_v different_a part_n so_o those_o different_a part_n have_v also_o different_a colour_n and_o as_o those_o part_n do_v alter_v so_o do_v their_o colour_n for_o example_n a_o man_n that_o be_v in_o good_a health_n look_v of_o a_o sanguine_a complexion_n but_o be_v trouble_v with_o the_o yellow_a or_o black_a jaundice_n his_o complexion_n be_v of_o the_o colour_n of_o the_o humour_n either_o black_a or_o yellow_a yet_o it_o do_v not_o proceed_v always_o from_o the_o overflow_n of_o the_o humour_n towards_o the_o exterior_a part_n for_o many_o time_n when_o the_o humour_n be_v obstruct_v it_o will_v cause_v the_o same_o effect_n but_o then_o the_o corporeal_a motion_n in_o the_o extreme_a part_n alter_v by_o way_n of_o imitation_n or_o metamorphosing_a as_o from_o a_o sanguine_a colour_n into_o the_o colour_n of_o the_o predominant_a humour_n wherefore_o it_o be_v no_o more_o wonder_n to_o see_v colour_n change_v in_o the_o temper_n of_o steel_n as_o some_o be_v please_v to_o allege_v this_o experiment_n then_o to_o see_v steel_n change_v and_o rechange_v its_o temper_n from_o be_v hard_o to_o soft_a from_o tough_a to_o brittle_a etc._n etc._n which_o change_v prove_v that_o colour_n be_v material_a as_o well_o as_o steel_n so_o that_o the_o alteration_n of_o the_o corporeal_a part_n be_v the_o alteration_n of_o the_o corporeal_a figure_n of_o colour_n they_o also_o prove_v that_o light_n be_v not_o essential_a to_o colour_n for_o although_o some_o colour_n be_v make_v by_o several_a reflection_n refraction_n and_o position_n of_o light_n yet_o light_n be_v not_o the_o true_a and_o natural_a cause_n of_o all_o colour_n but_o those_o colour_n that_o be_v make_v by_o light_n be_v most_o inconstant_a momentany_a and_o alterable_a by_o reason_n light_n and_o its_o effect_n be_v very_o changeable_a neither_o be_v colour_n make_v by_o a_o bare_a motion_n for_o there_o be_v no_o such_o thing_n as_o a_o bare_a or_o immaterial_a motion_n in_o nature_n but_o both_o light_n and_o colour_n be_v make_v by_o the_o corporeal_a figurative_a motion_n of_o nature_n and_o according_a to_o the_o various_a change_n of_o those_o motion_n there_o be_v also_o various_a and_o different_a light_n and_o colour_n and_o the_o perception_n of_o light_n and_o colour_n be_v make_v and_o dissolve_v by_o the_o sensitive_a figurative_a motion_n in_o the_o optic_n sensorium_fw-la without_o the_o exchange_n of_o exterior_a object_n but_o as_o the_o slack_a loose_a or_o rare_a part_n be_v of_o least_o solid_a or_o compose_a corporeal_a figure_n so_o be_v they_o most_o apt_a to_o change_v and_o rechange_v upon_o the_o least_o disorder_n as_o may_v well_o be_v observe_v in_o colour_n raise_v by_o passion_n as_o fear_v anger_n or_o the_o like_a which_o will_v change_v not_o only_o the_o complexion_n and_o countenance_n but_o the_o very_a feature_n will_v have_v some_o alteration_n for_o a_o short_a time_n and_o many_o time_n the_o whole_a body_n will_v be_v so_o alter_v as_o not_o to_o be_v right_o compose_v again_o for_o a_o good_a while_n nay_o often_o there_o follow_v a_o total_a dissolution_n of_o the_o whole_a figure_n which_o we_o call_v death_n and_o at_o all_o this_o we_o need_v not_o wonder_n if_o we_o do_v but_o consider_v that_o nature_n be_v full_a of_o sense_n and_o reason_n that_o be_v of_o sensitive_a and_o rational_a perception_n which_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o oftentimes_o the_o disturbance_n of_o one_o part_n cause_v all_o other_o part_n of_o a_o compose_a figure_n to_o take_v a_o alarm_n for_o as_o we_o may_v observe_v it_o be_v so_o in_o all_o other_o compose_v body_n even_o in_o those_o compose_v by_o art_n as_o for_o example_n in_o the_o politic_a body_n of_o a_o commonwealth_n one_o traitor_n be_v apt_a to_o cause_v all_o the_o kingdom_n to_o take_v arm_n and_o although_o every_o member_n know_v not_o particular_o of_o the_o traitor_n and_o of_o the_o circumstance_n of_o his_o crime_n yet_o every_o member_n if_o regular_a know_v its_o particular_a duty_n which_o cause_v a_o general_a agreement_n to_o assist_v each_o other_o and_o as_o it_o be_v with_o a_o commonwealth_n so_o it_o be_v also_o with_o a_o animal_n body_n for_o if_o there_o be_v faction_n among_o the_o part_n of_o a_o animal_n body_n then_o straight_o there_o arise_v a_o civil_a war._n wherefore_o to_o return_v to_o colour_n a_o sudden_a change_n of_o colour_n may_v cause_v no_o wonder_n by_o reason_n there_o be_v oftentimes_o in_o nature_n a_o sudden_a change_n of_o part_n that_o be_v a_o alteration_n of_o figure_n in_o the_o same_o part_n neither_o be_v it_o more_o to_o be_v admire_v that_o one_o colour_n shall_v be_v within_o another_o than_o one_o figurative_a part_n be_v within_o another_o for_o colour_n be_v figurative_a part_n and_o as_o there_o be_v several_a creature_n so_o there_o be_v also_o several_a colour_n for_o the_o colour_n of_o a_o creature_n be_v as_o well_o corporeal_a as_o the_o creature_n itself_o and_o to_o express_v myself_o as_o clear_o as_o i_o can_v colour_n be_v as_o much_o a_o body_n as_o place_n and_o magnitude_n which_o be_v but_o one_o thing_n with_o body_n wherefore_o when_o the_o body_n or_o any_o corporeal_a part_n vary_v whether_o solid_a or_o rare_a place_v magnitude_n colour_n and_o the_o like_a must_v of_o necessity_n change_n or_o vary_v also_o which_o change_n be_v no_o annihilation_n or_o perish_v for_o as_o no_o particle_n of_o matter_n can_v be_v lose_v in_o nature_n nor_o no_o particular_a motion_n so_o neither_o can_v colour_n and_o therefore_o the_o opinion_n of_o those_o who_o say_v that_o when_o flax_n or_o silk_n be_v divide_v into_o very_o small_a thread_n or_o fine_a part_n those_o part_n lose_v their_o colour_n and_o be_v twist_v regain_v their_o colour_n seem_v not_o conformable_a to_o truth_n for_o the_o division_n of_o their_o part_n do_v not_o destroy_v their_o colour_n nor_o the_o compose_n of_o those_o part_n regain_v they_o but_o they_o be_v divide_v into_o such_o small_a and_o fine_a part_n it_o make_v their_o colour_n which_o be_v the_o fine_a of_o their_o exterior_a part_n not_o to_o be_v subject_a to_o our_o optic_a perception_n for_o what_o be_v very_o small_a or_o rare_a be_v not_o subject_a to_o the_o humane_a optic_a sense_n wherefore_o there_o be_v these_o follow_a condition_n require_v to_o the_o optic_a perception_n of_o a_o exterior_a object_n first_o the_o object_n must_v not_o be_v too_o subtle_a rare_a or_o little_a but_o of_o a_o certain_a degree_n of_o magnitude_n next_o it_o must_v not_o be_v too_o far_o distant_a or_o without_o the_o reach_n of_o our_o sight_n then_o the_o medium_n must_v not_o be_v obstruct_v so_o as_o to_o hinder_v our_o perception_n and_o last_o our_o optic_n sensorium_fw-la must_v be_v perfect_a and_o the_o sensitive_a motion_n regular_a of_o
by_o discourse_n i_o do_v not_o mean_a speech_n but_o a_o argue_n of_o the_o mind_n or_o a_o rational_a inquiry_n into_o the_o cause_n of_o natural_a effect_n for_o discourse_n be_v as_o much_o as_o reason_v with_o ourselves_o which_o may_v very_o well_o be_v do_v without_o speech_n or_o language_n as_o be_v only_o a_o effect_n or_o action_n of_o reason_n when_o i_o say_v that_o art_n may_v make_v pewter_n brass_n etc._n etc._n 8._o i_o do_v not_o mean_v as_o if_o these_o figure_n be_v artificial_a and_o not_o natural_a but_o my_o meaning_n be_v that_o if_o art_n imitate_v nature_n in_o produce_v of_o artificial_a figure_n they_o be_v most_o common_o such_o as_o be_v of_o mix_a nature_n which_o i_o call_v hermaphroditical_a when_o i_o say_v that_o respiration_n be_v a_o reception_n and_o 15_o emission_n of_o part_n through_o the_o pore_n or_o passage_n proper_a to_o each_o particular_a figure_n so_o that_o when_o some_o part_n issue_n other_o enter_v i_o do_v not_o mean_v at_o one_o and_o the_o same_o time_n or_o always_o through_o the_o same_o passage_n for_o as_o there_o be_v variety_n of_o natural_a creature_n and_o figure_n and_o of_o their_o perception_n so_o of_o the_o manner_n of_o their_o perception_n and_o of_o their_o passage_n and_o pore_n all_o which_o no_o particular_a creature_n be_v able_a exact_o to_o know_v or_o determine_v and_o therefore_o when_o i_o add_v in_o the_o follow_a chapter_n that_o nature_n have_v more_o way_n of_o compose_v and_o divide_v of_o part_n then_o by_o the_o way_n of_o draw_v in_o and_o send_v forth_o by_o pore_n i_o mean_v that_o not_o all_o part_n of_o nature_n have_v the_o like_a respiration_n the_o truth_n be_v it_o be_v enough_o to_o know_v in_o general_a that_o there_o be_v respiration_n in_o all_o part_n of_o nature_n as_o a_o general_a or_o universal_a action_n and_o that_o this_o respiration_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o composition_n and_o division_n of_o part_n but_o how_o particular_a respiration_n be_v perform_v none_o but_o infinite_a nature_n be_v capable_a to_o know_v when_o i_o say_v that_o there_o be_v a_o difference_n between_o respiration_n 16._o and_o perception_n and_o that_o perception_n be_v a_o action_n of_o figure_v or_o pattern_v but_o respiration_n a_o action_n of_o reception_n and_o emission_n of_o part_n first_o i_o do_v not_o mean_v that_o all_o percaption_n be_v make_v by_o pattern_v or_o imitation_n but_o i_o speak_v only_o of_o the_o perception_n of_o the_o exterior_a sense_n in_o animal_n at_o least_o in_o man_n which_o i_o observe_v to_o be_v make_v by_o pattern_v or_o imitation_n for_o as_o no_o creature_n can_v know_v the_o infinite_a perception_n in_o nature_n so_o he_o can_v describe_v what_o they_o be_v or_o how_o they_o be_v make_v next_o i_o do_v not_o mean_v that_o respiration_n be_v not_o a_o perceptive_a action_n for_o if_o perception_n be_v a_o general_a and_o universal_a action_n in_o nature_n as_o well_o as_o respiration_n both_o depend_v upon_o the_o composition_n and_o division_n of_o part_n it_o be_v impossible_a but_o that_o all_o action_n of_o nature_n must_v be_v perceptive_a by_o reason_n perception_n be_v a_o exterior_a knowledge_n of_o foreign_a part_n and_o action_n and_o there_o can_v be_v no_o commerce_n or_o intercourse_n nor_o no_o variety_n of_o figure_n and_o action_n no_o production_n dissolution_n change_n and_o the_o like_a without_o perception_n for_o how_o shall_v part_n work_v and_o act_n without_o have_v some_o knowledge_n or_o perception_n of_o each_o other_o beside_o wheresoever_o be_v self-motion_n there_o must_v of_o necessity_n be_v also_o perception_n for_o self-motion_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o all_o exterior_a perception_n but_o my_o meaning_n be_v that_o the_o animal_n at_o least_o humane_a respiration_n which_o be_v a_o receive_n of_o foreign_a part_n and_o discharge_v or_o vent_v of_o its_o own_o in_o a_o animal_n or_o humane_a figure_n or_o creature_n be_v not_o the_o action_n of_o animal_n perception_n proper_o so_o call_v that_o be_v the_o perception_n of_o its_o exterior_a sense_n as_o see_v hear_v taste_v touch_v smell_a which_o action_n of_o perception_n be_v proper_o make_v by_o way_n of_o pattern_v and_o imitation_n by_o the_o innate_a figurative_a motion_n of_o those_o animal_n creature_n and_o not_o by_o receive_v either_o the_o figure_n of_o the_o exterior_a object_n into_o the_o sensitive_a organ_n or_o by_o send_v forth_o some_o invisible_a ray_n from_o the_o organ_n to_o the_o object_n nor_o by_o pressure_n and_o reaction_n nevertheless_o as_o i_o say_v every_o action_n of_o nature_n be_v a_o know_v and_o perceptive_a action_n and_o so_o be_v respiration_n which_o of_o necessity_n presuppose_v a_o knowledge_n of_o exterior_a part_n especial_o those_o that_o be_v concern_v in_o the_o same_o action_n and_o can_v no_o way_n be_v perform_v without_o perception_n of_o each_o other_o when_o i_o say_v that_o if_o all_o man_n opinion_n and_o fancy_n 44._o be_v rational_a there_o will_v not_o be_v such_o variety_n in_o nature_n as_o we_o perceive_v there_o be_v by_o rational_a i_o mean_v regular_n according_a to_o the_o vulgar_a way_n of_o expression_n by_o which_o a_o rational_a opinion_n be_v call_v that_o which_o be_v ground_v upon_o regular_a sense_n and_o reason_n and_o thus_o rational_a be_v oppose_v to_o irregular_a nevertheless_o irregular_a fancy_n and_o opinion_n be_v make_v by_o the_o rational_a part_n of_o matter_n as_o well_o as_o those_o that_o be_v regular_a and_o therefore_o in_o a_o philosophical_a and_o strict_a sense_n one_o may_v call_v irregular_a opinion_n as_o well_o rational_a as_o those_o that_o be_v regular_a but_o according_a to_o the_o vulgar_a way_n of_o expression_n as_o i_o say_v it_o be_v soon_o understand_v of_o regular_n then_o of_o irregular_a opinion_n fancy_n or_o conception_n when_o i_o say_v that_o none_o of_o nature_n part_n can_v be_v 47._o call_v inanimate_a or_o soul-less_a i_o do_v not_o mean_v the_o constitutive_a part_n of_o nature_n which_o be_v as_o it_o be_v the_o ingredient_n whereof_o nature_n consist_v and_o be_v make_v up_o whereof_o there_o be_v a_o inanimate_a part_n or_o degree_n of_o matter_n as_o well_o as_o animate_v but_o i_o mean_v the_o part_n or_o effect_n of_o this_o compose_a body_n of_o nature_n of_o which_o i_o say_v that_o none_o can_v be_v call_v inanimate_a for_o though_o some_o philosopher_n think_v that_o nothing_o be_v animate_v or_o have_v life_n in_o nature_n but_o animal_n and_o vegetable_n yet_o it_o be_v probable_a that_o since_o nature_n consist_v of_o a_o commixture_n of_o animate_v and_o inanimate_a matter_n and_o be_v self-moving_a there_o can_v be_v no_o part_n or_o particle_n of_o this_o compose_a body_n of_o nature_n be_v it_o a_o atom_n that_o may_v be_v call_v inaminate_v by_o reason_n there_o be_v none_o that_o have_v not_o its_o share_n of_o animate_v as_o well_o as_o inanimate_a matter_n and_o the_o commixture_n of_o these_o degree_n be_v so_o close_o it_o be_v impossible_a one_o shall_v be_v without_o the_o other_o when_o enumerate_v the_o requisite_n of_o the_o perception_n of_o 63._o sight_n in_o animal_n i_o say_v that_o if_o one_o of_o they_o be_v want_v there_o be_v either_o no_o perception_n at_o all_o or_o it_o be_v a_o imperfect_a perception_n i_o mean_v there_o be_v no_o animal_n perception_n of_o see_v or_o else_o a_o irregular_a perception_n when_o i_o say_v that_o as_o the_o sensitive_a perception_n know_v 76._o some_o of_o the_o other_o part_n of_o nature_n by_o their_o effect_n so_o the_o rational_a perceive_v some_o effect_n of_o the_o omnipotent_a power_n of_o god_n my_o meaning_n be_v not_o as_o if_o the_o sensitive_a part_n of_o matter_n have_v no_o knowledge_n at_o all_o of_o god_n for_o since_o all_o part_n of_o nature_n even_o the_o inanimate_a have_v a_o innate_a and_o fix_a self-knowledg_n it_o be_v probable_a that_o they_o may_v also_o have_v a_o interior_a self-knowledg_n of_o the_o existency_n of_o the_o eternal_a and_o omnipotent_a god_n as_o the_o author_n of_o nature_n but_o because_o the_o rational_a part_n be_v the_o subtle_a pure_a fine_a and_o high_a degree_n of_o matter_n it_o be_v most_o conformable_a to_o truth_n that_o it_o have_v also_o the_o high_a and_o great_a knowledge_n of_o god_n as_o far_o as_o a_o natural_a part_n can_v have_v for_o god_n be_v immaterial_a it_o can_v proper_o be_v say_v that_o sense_n can_v have_v a_o perception_n of_o he_o by_o reason_n he_o be_v not_o subject_a to_o the_o sensitive_a perception_n of_o any_o creature_n or_o part_n of_o nature_n and_o therefore_o all_o the_o knowledge_n which_o natural_a creature_n can_v have_v of_o god_n must_v be_v inherent_a in_o every_o part_n of_o nature_n and_o the_o perception_n which_o we_o have_v of_o the_o effect_n of_o nature_n may_v lead_v we_o to_o some_o conception_n of_o that_o supernatural_a infinite_a and_o
and_o subtle_a in_o their_o corporeal_a action_n than_o the_o sensitive_a by_o reason_n they_o be_v of_o a_o pure_a and_o fine_a degree_n of_o matter_n and_o free_a from_o labour_v on_o the_o inanimate_a part_n but_o withal_o they_o tell_v they_o that_o the_o several_a different_a and_o opposite_a action_n of_o nature_n hinder_v each_o other_o from_o run_v into_o extreme_n and_o as_o for_o the_o degree_n of_o matter_n there_o can_v not_o possible_o be_v more_o than_o animate_v and_o inanimate_a neither_o can_v any_o degree_n go_v beyond_o matter_n so_o as_o to_o become_v immaterial_a the_o truth_n be_v say_v they_o to_o balance_v the_o action_n of_o nature_n it_o can_v be_v otherwise_o but_o there_o must_v be_v a_o passive_a degree_n of_o matter_n opposite_a to_o the_o active_a which_o passive_a part_n be_v that_o we_o call_v inanimate_a for_o though_o they_o be_v so_o close_o intermix_v in_o the_o body_n of_o nature_n that_o they_o can_v be_v separate_v from_o each_o

agreeable_o to_o one_o effect_n so_o may_v the_o sensitive_a part_n carry_v or_o bear_v along_o with_o they_o the_o inanimate_a part_n without_o either_o transfer_v and_o communicate_v motion_n to_o they_o or_o without_o any_o co-operation_n or_o self-action_n of_o the_o inanimate_a part_n and_o as_o for_o matter_n as_o there_o can_v be_v no_o few_o degree_n then_o animate_v and_o inanimate_a sensitive_a and_o rational_a so_o neither_o can_v there_o be_v more_o for_o as_o we_o mention_v heretofore_o be_v there_o nothing_o but_o animate_v or_o self-moving_a matter_n in_o nature_n the_o part_n of_o nature_n will_v be_v too_o active_a and_o quick_a in_o their_o several_a production_n alteration_n and_o dissolution_n and_o all_o thing_n will_v be_v as_o soon_o make_v as_o thought_n again_o be_v there_o no_o inanimate_a degree_n of_o matter_n the_o sensitive_a corporeal_a motion_n will_v retain_v the_o figure_n or_o pattern_n of_o exterior_a object_n as_o the_o rational_a do_v

and_o produce_v all_o that_o harmonious_a variety_n that_o be_v find_v in_o nature_n part_n but_o say_v my_o late_a thought_n wheresoever_o be_v such_o a_o opposition_n and_o cross_v of_o action_n there_o can_v be_v no_o harmony_n concord_n or_o agreement_n and_o consequent_o no_o orderly_a production_n dissolution_n change_n and_o alteration_n as_o in_o nature_n we_o perceive_v there_o be_v the_o former_a answer_v that_o though_o the_o action_n of_o nature_n be_v different_a and_o opposite_a to_o each_o other_o yet_o they_o do_v cause_v no_o disturbance_n in_o nature_n but_o they_o be_v rule_v and_o govern_v by_o nature_n wisdom_n for_o nature_n be_v peaceable_a in_o herself_o will_v not_o suffer_v her_o action_n to_o disturb_v her_o government_n wherefore_o although_o particular_n be_v cross_v and_o oppose_v each_o other_o yet_o she_o do_v govern_v they_o with_o such_o wisdom_n and_o moderation_n that_o they_o be_v necessitate_v to_o obey_v she_o and_o move_v according_a as_o she_o will_v have_v they_o but_o sometime_o they_o will_v prove_v extravagant_a and_o refractory_a and_o hence_o come_v that_o we_o call_v irregularity_n the_o truth_n be_v say_v they_o contrary_a

late_a thought_n reply_v that_o although_o the_o several_a and_o contrary_a action_n in_o nature_n do_v not_o disturb_v her_o government_n yet_o they_o move_v several_o in_o one_o compose_a figure_n at_o one_o and_o the_o same_o time_n prove_v that_o motion_n figure_n and_o body_n can_v not_o be_v one_o and_o the_o same_o thing_n the_o former_a answer_v that_o they_o have_v sufficient_o declare_v heretofore_o that_o matter_n be_v either_o move_a or_o move_v viz._n that_o the_o animate_v part_n be_v self-moving_a and_o the_o inanimate_a move_v or_o carry_v along_o with_o and_o by_o the_o

between_o the_o animate_v part_n and_o self-motion_n which_o be_v but_o one_o thing_n and_o can_v not_o so_o much_o as_o be_v conceive_v different_o and_o since_o this_o animate_v matter_n or_o corporeal_a self-motion_n be_v thorough_o intermix_v with_o the_o inanimate_a part_n they_o be_v but_o as_o one_o body_n like_a as_o soul_n and_o body_n make_v but_o one_o man_n or_o else_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o any_o creature_n can_v be_v compose_v consist_v or_o be_v dissolve_v for_o if_o there_o be_v matter_n without_o motion_n there_o can_v be_v no_o composition_n or_o dissolution_n of_o such_o figure_n as_o be_v name_v creature_n nor_o any_o if_o there_o be_v motion_n without_o matter_n or_o which_o be_v the_o same_o a_o immaterial_a motion_n for_o can_v any_o part_n of_o

but_o a_o confusion_n be_v of_o contrary_a nature_n wherefore_o it_o be_v most_o probable_a and_o can_v to_o the_o perception_n of_o regular_a sense_n and_o reason_n be_v no_o otherwise_o but_o that_o self-moving_a matter_n or_o corporeal_a figurative_a self-motion_n do_v act_n and_o govern_v wise_o orderly_o and_o easy_o poise_v cr_n balance_v extreme_n with_o proper_a and_o fit_a opposition_n which_o can_v not_o be_v do_v by_o immaterial_o they_o be_v not_o capable_a of_o natural_a composition_n and_o division_n neither_o of_o divide_v matter_n nor_o of_o be_v divide_v in_o short_a although_o there_o be_v numerous_a corporeal_a figurative_a motion_n in_o one_o compose_v figure_n yet_o they_o be_v so_o far_o from_o disturb_v each_o other_o that_o no_o creature_n can_v be_v

tree_n or_o stone_n yet_o he_o do_v not_o know_v whether_o the_o tree_n or_o stone_n perceive_v he_o much_o less_o what_o perception_n they_o make_v but_o as_o i_o say_v before_o perception_n i_o name_v a_o exterior_a action_n because_o it_o be_v occasion_v by_o a_o object_n that_o be_v without_o the_o perceive_v part_n for_o although_o both_o sensitive_a and_o rational_a perception_n be_v so_o close_o intermix_v that_o none_o can_v be_v without_o the_o other_o in_o every_o part_n or_o particle_n of_o nature_n be_v it_o no_o big_a than_o what_o be_v call_v a_o atom_n yet_o consider_v

will_v not_o be_v several_a part_n or_o action_n neither_o will_v there_o be_v any_o imitation_n betwixt_o they_o last_o i_o desire_v that_o notice_n may_v be_v take_v when_o i_o say_v that_o every_o action_n of_o nature_n be_v perceptive_a for_o since_o there_o be_v no_o single_a part_n in_o nature_n but_o whatsoever_o be_v body_n consist_v of_o part_n there_o can_v neither_o be_v any_o such_o

intercourse_n or_o agreement_n can_v be_v without_o perception_n of_o knowledge_n of_o each_o other_o wherefore_o it_o must_v of_o necessity_n follow_v that_o every_o action_n be_v perceptive_a or_o that_o perception_n between_o part_n be_v require_v in_o every_o action_n of_o nature_n nay_o even_o in_o those_o which_o be_v call_v voluntary_a action_n for_o though_o the_o rational_a and_o sensitive_a part_n of_o a_o compose_a figure_n can_v make_v voluntary_a figure_n within_o themselves_o without_o take_v any_o pattern_n of_o foreign_a object_n yet_o those_o part_n must_v needs_o know_v and_o perceive_v each_o other_o even_o in_o the_o composition_n or_o frame_n of_o their_o voluntary_a figure_n so_o that_o exterior_a knowledge_n or_o perception_n be_v as_o universal_a as_o self-motion_n for_o wheresoever_o be_v self-motion_n there_o be_v perception_n also_o but_o it_o be_v well_o to_o be_v observe_v first_o that_o perception_n or_o perceptive_a knowledge_n be_v only_o between_o part_n next_o that_o although_o every_o action_n in_o nature_n be_v perceptive_a yet_o not_o every_o action_n be_v the_o action_n of_o perception_n proper_o so_o call_v which_o perception_n

growth_n decay_n etc._n etc._n nevertheless_o all_o those_o action_n be_v perceptive_a that_o be_v the_o part_n which_o perform_v those_o action_n have_v perception_n of_o each_o other_o or_o else_o they_o will_v never_o agree_v to_o produce_v such_o effect_n the_o truth_n be_v that_o even_o the_o action_n of_o perception_n proper_o so_o call_v presuppose_v many_o particular_a perception_n between_o those_o part_n that_o concur_v to_o the_o performance_n of_o that_o act_n for_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o both_o the_o rational_a and_o sensitive_a part_n in_o a_o compose_a figure_n

without_o motion_n for_o wheresoever_o be_v motion_n there_o be_v perception_n also_o and_o therefore_o respiration_n be_v a_o perceptive_a action_n in_o short_a i_o desire_v it_o may_v be_v observe_v
