which_o relation_n be_v found_v partly_o upon_o its_o original_a designation_n and_o partly_o upon_o its_o natural_a aptitude_n to_o be_v a_o ingredient_n in_o the_o constitution_n of_o a_o compound_v

govern_v power_n and_o constitute_v the_o person_n these_o be_v his_o word_n and_o they_o contain_v a_o very_a pleasant_a way_n of_o argue_v though_o whole_o contrary_a to_o the_o common_a know_a rule_n of_o philosophy_n for_o according_a to_o these_o one_o will_v and_o must_v have_v conclude_v that_o for_o this_o very_a reason_n that_o all_o the_o action_n and_o suffering_n of_o the_o body_n and_o he_o ought_v to_o have_v add_v of_o the_o soul_n too_o be_v ascribe_v to_o the_o man_n therefore_o the_o man_n himself_o to_o who_o these_o personal_a act_n be_v ascribe_v must_v indeed_o be_v the_o person_n and_o that_o for_o the_o same_o reason_n also_o the_o soul_n can_v be_v so_o but_o our_o author_n have_v a_o way_n of_o reason_v by_o himself_o for_o say_v he_o the_o soul_n be_v the_o person_n because_o it_o constitute_v the_o person_n but_o for_o that_o very_a cause_n say_v i_o the_o soul_n be_v not_o the_o person_n for_o whatsoever_o constitute_v a_o person_n must_v do_v it_o either_o efficient_o or_o formal_o that_o be_v either_o as_o a_o principle_n produce_v it_o or_o a_o principle_n compound_v it_o as_o for_o the_o first_o way_n whatsoever_o constitute_v a_o person_n efficient_o must_v do_v it_o either_o by_o creation_n or_o generation_n but_o this_o the_o soul_n as_o much_o a_o superior_a power_n as_o it_o be_v be_v not_o able_a to_o do_v for_o will_v any_o one_o say_v that_o the_o soul_n can_v either_o create_v or_o generate_v the_o person_n or_o to_o speak_v more_o plain_o the_o man_n who_o be_v the_o person_n and_o then_o for_o the_o other_o way_n by_o which_o it_o may_v be_v say_v to_o constitute_v a_o person_n to_o wit_n formal_o this_o it_o can_v do_v no_o otherwise_o than_o as_o it_o be_v a_o constituent_a part_n and_o therefore_o only_o as_o a_o partial_a and_o not_o a_o total_a adequate_a cause_n of_o the_o constitution_n that_o be_v in_o other_o word_n the_o soul_n as_o the_o form_n must_v concur_v with_o the_o body_n as_o the_o matter_n to_o the_o constitution_n of_o the_o whole_a person_n of_o the_o man._n but_o then_o for_o that_o very_a reason_n again_o the_o soul_n can_v possible_o be_v a_o person_n since_o it_o contribute_v to_o the_o constitution_n of_o the_o person_n only_o as_o a_o part_n which_o by_o reason_n of_o its_o incomplete_a be_v can_v upon_o no_o principle_n of_o philosophy_n be_v a_o person_n and_o i_o will_v fain_o have_v this_o profound_a philosopher_n give_v i_o but_o one_o allow_v instance_n where_o one_o person_n be_v the_o constituent_a principle_n of_o another_o but_o to_o examine_v the_o forementioned_a assertion_n yet_o more_o particular_o since_o this_o man_n so_o peremptory_o say_v that_o the_o soul_n be_v the_o person_n because_o it_o be_v the_o superior_a power_n and_o constitute_v the_o person_n i_o must_v tell_v he_o that_o the_o superior_a power_n be_v not_o therefore_o the_o sole_a power_n and_o consequent_o can_v sole_o constitute_v the_o person_n which_o yet_o this_o author_n pretend_v it_o do_v if_o indeed_o he_o have_v say_v that_o the_o soul_n as_o the_o superior_a power_n bear_v the_o chief_a and_o principal_a part_n in_o the_o constitution_n of_o a_o person_n this_o have_v be_v sense_n but_o by_o no_o mean_n sufficient_a for_o his_o purpose_n for_o still_o this_o will_v not_o prove_v the_o soul_n to_o be_v a_o person_n which_o he_o contend_v for_o but_o on_o the_o contrary_a by_o prove_v it_o to_o concur_v thereto_o only_o as_o a_o part_n demonstrate_v it_o upon_o the_o same_o account_n not_o to_o be_v a_o person_n but_o this_o be_v not_o all_o for_o in_o page_n 169._o he_o call_v the_o mind_n of_o man_n a_o person_n and_o thus_o discourse_n about_o it_o faculty_n say_v he_o virtue_n and_o power_n have_v personal_a act_n and_o office_n ascribe_v to_o they_o only_o upon_o the_o account_n of_o their_o unity_n and_o sameness_n with_o the_o mind_n in_o which_o they_o be_v which_o be_v a_o person_n and_o act_n by_o they_o now_o this_o also_o be_v very_o odd_a and_o strange_a can_v any_o thing_n in_o this_o author_n which_o be_v odd_a be_v strange_a too_o for_o the_o thing_n assert_v by_o he_o amount_v to_o neither_o more_o nor_o less_o than_o this_o that_o power_n faculty_n and_o virtue_n have_v personal_a act_n ascribe_v to_o they_o upon_o the_o account_n of_o their_o unity_n and_o sameness_n with_o that_o which_o itself_o neither_o be_v nor_o can_v be_v a_o person_n as_o we_o have_v abundant_o prove_v that_o the_o mind_n of_o man_n take_v it_o in_o his_o sense_n for_o the_o soul_n can_v be_v and_o for_o his_o further_a

to_o be_v that_o notable_a grace_n and_o virtue_n call_v charity_n which_o be_v but_o a_o accident_n i_o believe_v that_o even_o this_o author_n himself_o will_v not_o affirm_v to_o be_v a_o person_n and_o i_o be_o sure_a as_o little_o can_v be_v say_v for_o any_o unity_n or_o sameness_n that_o it_o have_v with_o the_o mind_n which_o it_o be_v lodge_v in_o since_o though_o it_o shall_v be_v

to_o faculty_n virtue_n and_o grace_n not_o in_o strict_a propriety_n of_o philosophical_a speak_n but_o tropical_o and_o figurative_o by_o a_o figure_n which_o he_o shall_v hear_v further_o of_o hereafter_o call_v prosopopoeia_fw-la which_o represent_v thing_n that_o be_v not_o person_n speak_v and_o do_v as_o if_o they_o be_v so_o but_o beside_o this_o there_o be_v here_o two_o thing_n which_o this_o author_n take_v for_o grant_v which_o yet_o such_o dull_a mortal_n as_o myself_o will_v be_v apt_a a_o little_a to_o demur_v to_o as_o first_o that_o he_o take_v the_o mind_n and_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n for_o one_o and_o the_o same_o thing_n whereas_o very_o learned_a man_n both_o grammarian_n and_o philosopher_n hold_v that_o in_o man_n there_o be_v a_o great_a difference_n between_o animus_fw-la and_o anima_fw-la and_o that_o as_o anima_fw-la import_v the_o spiritual_a substance_n which_o we_o call_v the_o soul_n so_o animus_fw-la signify_v only_a a_o power_n or_o

whether_o it_o be_v one_o or_o the_o other_o we_o have_v sufficient_o prove_v against_o this_o author_n that_o neither_o of_o they_o can_v be_v a_o person_n the_o other_o thing_n here_o suppose_v by_o he_o be_v the_o unity_n or_o sameness_n of_o the_o power_n or_o faculty_n of_o the_o soul_n with_o the_o soul_n itself_o which_o yet_o the_o peripatetic_n general_o and_o most_o of_o the_o schoolman_n with_o thomas_n aquinas_n in_o the_o head_n of_o they_o do_v positive_o deny_v and_o think_v they_o give_v very_o good_a reason_n for_o such_o their_o denial_n for_o if_o substance_n and_o accident_n be_v being_n real_o distinct_a and_o if_o quality_n be_v accident_n and_o the_o power_n and_o faculty_n of_o the_o soul_n come_v under_o the_o second_o species_n of_o quality_n as_o aristotle_n reckon_v they_o than_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o they_o be_v real_o distinguish_v and_o that_o there_o be_v no_o identity_n between_o they_o nor_o do_v there_o want_v a_o further_a reason_n for_o the_o same_o for_o since_o the_o bare_a substance_n or_o essence_n of_o the_o soul_n consider_v naked_o in_o itself_o may_v rational_o be_v suppose_v undetermined_a and_o therefore_o indifferent_a to_o all_o those_o act_n or_o action_n that_o natural_o proceed_v from_o it_o and_o since_o withal_o bare_a object_n can_v of_o themselves_o neither_o enable_v nor_o dispose_v the_o agent_n to_o exert_v any_o action_n there_o seem_v a_o necessity_n of_o assert_v the_o intervention_n of_o some_o three_o thing_n distinct_a from_o both_o which_o may_v thus_o enable_v dispose_n and_o determine_v the_o soul_n to_o exert_v itself_o in_o such_o a_o particular_a way_n of_o act_v rather_o than_o another_o suitable_o to_o the_o several_a object_n which_o shall_v come_v before_o it_o which_o thing_n be_v proper_o that_o quality_n reside_v in_o the_o soul_n which_o we_o call_v a_o faculty_n or_o power_n and_o this_o to_o i_o seem_v the_o true_a philosophy_n of_o the_o matter_n but_o i_o need_v not_o here_o press_v the_o decision_n of_o the_o case_n one_o way_n or_o other_o as_o not_o direct_o affect_v the_o point_n in_o debate_n between_o we_o only_o i_o think_v fit_a to_o suggest_v these_o remark_n to_o check_v this_o author_n be_v bold_a unwary_a way_n of_o dictate_v and_o affirm_v in_o thing_n disputable_a and_o dubious_a and_o to_o remind_v he_o how_o much_o it_o become_v and_o

bring_v for_o the_o confutation_n of_o it_o i_o desire_v to_o leave_v with_o he_o two_o or_o three_o question_n which_o seem_v natural_o to_o rise_v from_o this_o wonderful_a position_n as_o first_o whether_o the_o soul_n or_o mind_n of_o man_n be_v one_o person_n and_o the_o man_n himself_o another_o second_o whether_o the_o assert_v of_o the_o soul_n to_o be_v a_o person_n because_o it_o constitute_v the_o person_n do_v not_o infer_v so_o much_o viz._n that_o the_o soul_n be_v the_o person_n that_o constitute_v and_o the_o man_n the_o person_n that_o be_v constitute_v unless_o we_o will_v say_v that_o the_o soul_n constitute_v itself_o a_o person_n and_o then_o three_o whether_o to_o say_v or_o assert_v this_o do_v not_o infer_v two_o distinct_a personality_n in_o the_o same_o soul_n one_o in_o order_n of_o nature_n before_o the_o other_o viz._n that_o by_o which_o it_o be_v itself_o formal_o a_o person_n and_o that_o other_o which_o by_o its_o constitute_a itself_o a_o person_n be_v constitute_v and_o cause_v by_o it_o but_o since_o it_o be_v too_o hard_a a_o task_n to_o drain_v any_o one_o absurdity_n especial_o a_o very_a great_a one_o so_o as_o to_o draw_v forth_o and_o represent_v all_o its_o natural_o descend_v consequence_n i_o desire_v the_o author_n with_o the_o utmost_a if_o impartial_a strictness_n to_o compare_v the_o forego_n question_n with_o his_o own_o assertion_n and_o to_o see_v first_o whether_o they_o do_v not_o direct_o spring_v from_o it_o and_o next_o whether_o the_o matter_n couch_v under_o the_o say_a question_n if_o draw_v out_o into_o so_o many_o positive_a proposition_n will_v not_o afford_v as_o many_o intolerable_a defiance_n to_o common_a sense_n reason_n and_o philosophy_n but_o thus_o it_o be_v when_o man_n

they_o use_v they_o for_o illustration_n only_o and_o nothing_o else_o and_o it_o be_v a_o scurvy_a sign_n that_o proof_n and_o argument_n run_v very_o low_a with_o this_o author_n when_o he_o pass_v over_o those_o principal_a place_n in_o which_o the_o father_n have_v plain_o open_o and_o profess_o declare_v their_o judgement_n upon_o this_o great_a article_n and_o endeavour_n to_o gather_v their_o sense_n of_o it_o only_o from_o similitude_n and_o allusion_n which_o look_v like_o a_o design_n of_o put_v his_o reader_n off_o with_o something_o like_o a_o argument_n and_o not_o a_o

and_o the_o like_a be_v to_o be_v say_v of_o its_o knowledge_n and_o of_o its_o love_n of_o itself_o for_o though_o it_o be_v the_o same_o soul_n which_o both_o know_v and_o love_v itself_o yet_o it_o
