can_v neither_o be_v always_o assure_v of_o know_v the_o truth_n for_o particular_a reason_n may_v sometime_o be_v deceive_v as_o well_o as_o sense_n but_o when_o the_o perception_n both_o of_o

to_o learn_v they_o by_o reason_n the_o rational_a perception_n be_v beyond_o the_o sensitive_a i_o be_o also_o of_o opinion_n that_o there_o may_v be_v a_o art_n to_o preserve_v the_o exterior_a shape_n of_o some_o animal_n body_n but_o not_o their_o interior_a form_n for_o although_o their_o exterior_a shape_n even_o after_o the_o dissolution_n of_o the_o animal_n figure_n may_v be_v some_o what_o like_o the_o shape_n and_o figure_n of_o their_o body_n when_o they_o have_v the_o life_n of_o a_o animal_n yet_o they_o be_v transform_v into_o some_o other_o creature_n by_o the_o

of_o blood_n by_o the_o mean_n of_o spirit_n of_o wine_n as_o some_o do_v probable_o believe_v my_o opinion_n be_v that_o spirit_n of_o wine_n otherwise_o call_v hot-water_n if_o take_v in_o great_a quantity_n will_v rather_o dry_v up_o or_o putrify_v the_o blood_n then_o preserve_v it_o nay_o not_o only_o the_o blood_n but_o also_o the_o more_o solid_a part_n of_o a_o animal_n body_n insomuch_o as_o it_o will_v cause_v a_o total_a dissolution_n of_o the_o animal_n figure_n and_o some_o animal_n creature_n that_o have_v blood_n will_v be_v dissolve_v in_o wine_n which_o yet_o be_v not_o so_o strong_a as_o extract_n or_o spirit_n of_o wine_n but_o blood_n mingle_v with_o spirit_n of_o wine_n may_v perhaps_o retain_v somewhat_o of_o the_o colour_n of_o blood_n although_o the_o nature_n and_o propriety_n of_o blood_n be_v quite_o alter_v as_o for_o the_o instance_n of_o preserve_v dead_a fish_n or_o flesh_n from_o putrify_v and_o stink_v allege_v by_o some_o we_o see_v that_o ordinary_a salt_n will_v do_v the_o same_o with_o less_o cost_n and_o as_o spirit_n of_o wine_n or_o hot_a water_n may_v like_o salt_n preserve_v some_o dead_a body_n from_o corruption_n so_o may_v they_o by_o make_v too_o much_o or_o frequent_a use_n of_o they_o also_o cause_n live_v body_n to_o corrupt_v and_o dissolve_v soon_o than_o otherwise_o they_o will_v do_v but_o chemist_n be_v so_o much_o for_o extract_n that_o by_o their_o frequent_a use_n and_o application_n they_o often_o extract_v humane_a life_n out_o of_o humane_a body_n instead_o of_o preserve_v it_o 20._o of_o chemistry_n and_o chemical_a principle_n it_o be_v sufficient_o know_v and_o i_o have_v partly_o make_v mention_v above_o what_o a_o stir_v natural_a philosopher_n do_v keep_v concern_v the_o principle_n of_o nature_n and_o natural_a being_n and_o how_o different_a their_o opinion_n be_v the_o school_n follow_v aristotle_n be_v for_o the_o four_o element_n which_o they_o believe_v to_o be_v simple_a body_n as_o have_v no_o mixture_n in_o themselves_o and_o therefore_o fit_a to_o be_v principle_n of_o all_o other_o mix_v or_o compound_v body_n but_o my_o reason_n can_v apprehend_v what_o they_o mean_v by_o simple_a body_n i_o confess_v that_o some_o body_n be_v more_o mix_v than_o other_o that_o be_v they_o consist_v of_o more_o differ_a part_n such_o as_o the_o learned_a call_v heterogeneous_a as_o for_o example_n animal_n consist_v of_o flesh_n blood_n skin_n bone_n muscle_n nerve_n tendon_n gristle_n and_o the_o like_a all_o which_o be_v part_n of_o different_a figure_n other_o body_n again_o be_v compose_v of_o such_o part_n as_o be_v of_o the_o same_o nature_n which_o the_o learned_a call_v homogeneous_a as_o for_o example_n water_n air_n etc._n etc._n who_o part_n have_v no_o different_a figure_n but_o be_v all_o alike_o each_o other_o at_o least_o to_o our_o perception_n beside_o there_o be_v body_n which_o be_v more_o rare_a and_o subtle_a than_o other_o according_a to_o the_o degree_n of_o their_o natural_a figurative_a motion_n and_o the_o composion_n of_o their_o part_n nevertheless_o i_o see_v no_o reason_n why_o those_o homogeneous_a body_n shall_v be_v call_v simple_a and_o all_o other_o mix_v or_o compose_v of_o they_o much_o less_o why_o they_o shall_v be_v principle_n of_o all_o other_o natural_a body_n for_o they_o derive_v their_o origine_fw-la from_o matter_n as_o well_o as_o the_o rest_n so_o that_o it_o be_v only_o the_o different_a composure_n of_o their_o part_n that_o make_v a_o difference_n between_o they_o proceed_v from_o the_o variety_n of_o self-motion_n which_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o all_o different_a figure_n in_o nature_n for_o as_o several_a workman_n join_v in_o the_o build_n of_o one_o house_n and_o several_a man_n in_o the_o frame_n of_o one_o government_n so_o do_v several_a part_n in_o the_o make_n or_o form_v of_o one_o compose_a figure_n but_o they_o will_v say_v it_o be_v not_o the_o likeness_n of_o part_n that_o make_v the_o four_o element_n to_o be_v principle_n of_o natural_a thing_n but_o because_o there_o be_v no_o natural_a body_n beside_o the_o mention_a element_n that_o be_v not_o compose_v of_o they_o as_o be_v evident_a in_o the_o dissolution_n of_o their_o part_n for_o example_n a_o piece_n of_o green_a wood_n that_o be_v burn_v in_o a_o chimney_n we_o may_v ready_o discern_v the_o four_o element_n in_o its_o dissolution_n out_o of_o which_o it_o be_v compose_v for_o the_o fire_n discover_v itself_o in_o the_o flame_n the_o smoke_n turn_v into_o air_n the_o water_n hiss_v and_o boil_v at_o the_o end_n of_o the_o wood_n and_o the_o ash_n be_v nothing_o but_o the_o element_n of_o earth_n but_o if_o they_o have_v no_o better_a argument_n to_o prove_v their_o principle_n they_o shall_v not_o ready_o gain_v my_o consent_n for_o i_o see_v no_o reason_n why_o wood_n shall_v be_v compose_v of_o the_o four_o element_n because_o it_o burn_v smoke_n hiss_n and_o turn_v into_o ash_n fire_n be_v none_o of_o its_o natural_a ingredient_n but_o a_o different_a figure_n which_o be_v mix_v with_o the_o part_n of_o the_o wood_n be_v a_o occasion_n that_o the_o wood_n turn_v into_o ash_n neither_o be_v water_n a_o principle_n of_o wood_n for_o water_n be_v as_o much_o a_o figure_n by_o itself_o as_o wood_n or_o fire_n be_v which_o be_v get_v into_o

where_o be_v then_o the_o water_n that_o boil_v out_o sure_o dry_a wood_n have_v no_o less_o principle_n then_o green_a wood_n and_o as_o for_o smoke_n it_o prove_v no_o more_o that_o it_o be_v the_o element_n of_o air_n in_o wood_n than_o that_o wood_n be_v the_o element_n of_o fire_n for_o wood_n as_o experience_n witness_n may_v last_v in_o water_n where_o it_o be_v keep_v from_o the_o air_n and_o smoke_n be_v rather_o a_o effect_n of_o moisture_n occasion_v into_o such_o a_o figure_n by_o the_o commixture_n of_o fire_n other_o as_o helmont_n who_o derive_v his_o opinion_n from_o thales_n and_o other_o of_o the_o ancient_a philosopher_n be_v only_o for_o the_o element_n of_o water_n affirm_v that_o that_o be_v the_o sole_a principle_n out_o of_o which_o all_o natural_a thing_n consist_v for_o say_v they_o the_o chaos_n where_o of_o all_o thing_n be_v make_v be_v nothing_o else_o but_o water_n which_o first_o settle_v into_o slime_n and_o then_o condense_v into_o solid_a earth_n nay_o some_o endeavour_n to_o prove_v by_o chemical_a experiment_n that_o they_o have_v dispose_v water_n according_a to_o their_o chemical_a way_n so_o that_o it_o visible_o turn_v into_o earth_n which_o earth_n produce_v animal_n vegetable_n and_o mineral_n but_o put_v the_o case_n it_o be_v so_o yet_o this_o do_v not_o prove_v water_n to_o be_v the_o only_a principle_n of_o all_o natural_a being_n for_o first_o we_o can_v think_v that_o animal_n vegetable_n and_o mineral_n be_v the_o only_a kind_n of_o creature_n in_o nature_n and_o that_o there_o be_v no_o more_o but_o they_o for_o nature_n be_v infinite_o various_a may_v have_v infinite_a world_n and_o so_o infinite_a sort_n of_o creature_n next_o i_o say_v that_o the_o change_n of_o water_n
into_o earth_n and_o of_o this_o again_o into_o vegetable_n mineral_n and_o animal_n prove_v no_o more_o but_o what_o our_o sense_n perceive_v every_o day_n to_o wit_n that_o there_o be_v a_o perpetual_a change_n and_o alteration_n in_o all_o natural_a part_n cause_v by_o corporeal_a self-motion_n by_o which_o rare_a body_n change_v into_o dense_n and_o dense_a into_o rare_a water_n into_o slime_n slime_n into_o earth_n earth_n into_o animal_n vegetable_n and_o mineral_n and_o those_o again_o into_o earth_n earth_n into_o slime_n slime_n into_o water_n and_o so_o forth_o but_o i_o wonder_v why_o rational_a man_n shall_v only_o rest_v upon_o water_n and_o go_v no_o further_o since_o daily_a experience_n inform_v they_o that_o water_n be_v change_v into_o vapour_n and_o vapour_n into_o air_n for_o if_o water_n be_v resolveable_a into_o other_o body_n it_o can_v be_v a_o prime_a cause_n and_o consequent_o no_o principle_n of_o nature_n wherefore_o they_o have_v better_o in_o my_o opinion_n to_o make_v air_n the_o principle_n of_o all_o thing_n it_o be_v true_a water_n may_v produce_v many_o creature_n as_o i_o say_v before_o by_o a_o composition_n with_o other_o or_o change_v of_o its_o own_o part_n but_o yet_o i_o dare_v say_v it_o do_v kill_v or_o destroy_v as_o many_o nay_o more_o than_o it_o produce_v witness_v vegetable_n and_o other_o which_o husbandman_n and_o planter_n have_v best_a experience_n of_o and_o though_o some_o animal_n live_v in_o water_n as_o their_o proper_a element_n yet_o to_o most_o it_o be_v destructive_a i_o mean_v as_o for_o their_o particular_a nature_n nay_o if_o man_n do_v but_o dwell_v in_o a_o moist_a place_n or_o near_o marish_a ground_n or_o have_v too_o much_o watery_a humour_n in_o their_o body_n they_o will_v soon_o die_v then_o otherwise_o but_o put_v the_o case_n water_n be_v a_o principle_n of_o natural_a thing_n yet_o it_o must_v have_v motion_n or_o else_o it_o will_v never_o be_v able_a to_o change_v into_o so_o many_o figure_n and_o this_o motion_n must_v either_o be_v natural_o inherent_a in_o the_o substance_n of_o water_n or_o it_o must_v proceed_v from_o some_o exterior_a agent_n if_o from_o a_o exterior_a agent_n than_o this_o agent_n must_v either_o be_v material_a or_o immaterial_a also_o if_o all_o motion_n in_o nature_n do_v proceed_v from_o pressure_n of_o part_n upon_o part_n then_o those_o part_n which_o press_v other_o must_v either_o have_v motion_n inherent_a in_o themselves_o or_o if_o they_o be_v move_v by_o other_o we_o must_v at_o last_o proceed_v to_o something_o which_o have_v motion_n in_o itself_o and_o be_v not_o move_v by_o another_o but_o move_v all_o thing_n and_o if_o we_o allow_v this_o why_o may_v not_o we_o allow_v self-motion_n in_o all_o thing_n for_o if_o one_o part_n of_o matter_n have_v self-motion_n it_o can_v be_v deny_v of_o all_o the_o rest_n but_o if_o immaterial_a it_o must_v either_o be_v god_n himself_o or_o create_v supernatural_a spirit_n as_o for_o god_n he_o be_v immovable_a and_o beyond_o all_o natural_a motion_n can_v actual_o move_v matter_n neither_o be_v it_o religious_a to_o say_v god_n be_v the_o soul_n of_o nature_n for_o god_n be_v no_o part_n of_o nature_n as_o the_o soul_n be_v of_o the_o body_n and_o immaterial_a spirit_n be_v supernatural_a can_v have_v natural_a attribute_n or_o action_n such_o as_o be_v corporeal_a natural_a motion_n wherefore_o it_o remain_v that_o matter_n must_v be_v natural_o self-moving_a and_o consequent_o all_o part_n of_o nature_n all_o be_v material_a so_o that_o not_o only_a water_n earth_n fire_n and_o air_n but_o all_o other_o natural_a body_n whatsoever_o have_v natural_a self-motion_n inherent_a in_o themselves_o by_o which_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o there_o can_v be_v no_o other_o principle_n in_o nature_n but_o this_o self-moving_a matter_n and_o that_o all_o the_o rest_n be_v but_o effect_n of_o this_o only_a cause_n some_o be_v of_o opinion_n that_o the_o three_o catholic_n or_o universal_a principle_n of_o nature_n be_v matter_n motion_n and_o rest_n and_o other_o with_o epicure_n that_o they_o be_v magnitude_n figure_n and_o weight_n but_o although_o matter_n and_o motion_n or_o rather_o self-moving_a matter_n be_v the_o only_a principle_n of_o nature_n yet_o they_o be_v mistake_v in_o divide_v they_o from_o each_o other_o and_o add_v rest_n to_o the_o number_n of_o they_o for_o matter_n and_o motion_n be_v but_o one_o thing_n and_o can_v make_v different_a principle_n and_o so_o be_v figure_n weight_n and_o magnitude_n it_o be_v true_a matter_n may_v subsist_v without_o motion_n but_o not_o motion_n without_o matter_n for_o there_o be_v no_o such_o thing_n as_o a_o immaterial_a motion_n but_o motion_n must_v necessary_o be_v of_o something_o also_o if_o there_o be_v a_o figure_n it_o must_v of_o necessity_n be_v a_o figure_n of_o something_o the_o same_o may_v be_v say_v of_o magnitude_n and_o weight_n there_o be_v no_o such_o thing_n as_o a_o mean_a between_o something_o and_o nothing_o that_o be_v between_o body_n and_o no_o body_n in_o nature_n if_o motion_n be_v immaterial_a it_o be_v beyond_o all_o humane_a capacity_n to_o conceive_v how_o it_o can_v be_v abstract_v from_o something_o much_o more_o how_o it_o can_v be_v a_o principle_n to_o produce_v a_o natural_a be_v it_o may_v easy_o be_v believe_v that_o matter_n be_v perishable_a or_o reduceable_a into_o nothing_o than_o that_o motion_n figure_n and_o magnitude_n shall_v be_v separable_a from_o matter_n or_o be_v immaterial_a as_o the_o opinion_n be_v of_o those_o who_o introduce_v a_o vacuum_n in_o nature_n and_o as_o for_o rest_n i_o wonder_v how_o that_o can_v be_v a_o principle_n of_o any_o production_n change_n or_o alteration_n which_o itself_o act_v nothing_o other_o be_v for_o atom_n and_o insensible_a particle_n consist_v of_o different_a figure_n and_o particular_a nature_n not_o otherwise_o unite_v but_o by_o a_o bare_a

whatever_o their_o opinion_n of_o atom_n be_v first_o i_o have_v heretofore_o declare_v that_o there_o can_v be_v no_o such_o thing_n as_o single_a body_n or_o atom_n in_o nature_n next_o if_o there_o

there_o be_v but_o one_o world_n and_o that_o finite_a 5._o that_o the_o world_n be_v animate_v and_o god_n be_v the_o soul_n thereof_o diffuse_v through_o every_o part_n 6._o that_o the_o world_n be_v contain_v in_o a_o place_n 7._o that_o body_n be_v divisible_a into_o infinite_a concern_v the_o first_o viz._n that_o water_n be_v the_o principle_n of_o all_o natural_a thing_n helmont_n do_v embrace_v this_o opinion_n as_o i_o have_v declare_v in_o my_o philosophical_a letter_n and_o in_o the_o forego_n part_n of_o this_o book_n and_o have_v give_v withal_o my_o reason_n why_o water_n can_v be_v a_o principle_n of_o natural_a thing_n because_o it_o be_v no_o more_o but_o a_o natural_a effect_n for_o though_o humidity_n may_v be_v find_v in_o many_o part_n or_o creature_n of_o nature_n yet_o this_o do_v not_o prove_v that_o water_n be_v a_o principle_n of_o all_o natural_a body_n no_o more_o than_o fire_n earth_n air_n or_o any_o other_o creature_n of_o nature_n and_o though_o most_o philosopher_n be_v of_o opinion_n that_o element_n be_v simple_a body_n and_o all_o the_o rest_n be_v compose_v of_o they_o yet_o this_o be_v no_o way_n probable_a to_o reason_n because_o they_o consist_v of_o the_o same_o matter_n as_o other_o body_n do_v and_o be_v all_o but_o effect_n of_o one_o cause_n or_o principle_n which_o be_v infinite_a matter_n next_o that_o nature_n be_v full_a of_o daemon_n or_o spiritual_a substance_n be_v against_o sense_n and_o reason_n for_o what_o be_v incorporeal_a be_v no_o part_n of_o nature_n and_o upon_o this_o account_n the_o soul_n can_v be_v immaterial_a although_o he_o make_v she_o to_o be_v a_o self-moving_a nature_n for_o what_o have_v a_o natural_a motion_n have_v also_o a_o natural_a body_n because_o matter_n and_o motion_n be_v but_o one_o thing_n neither_o can_v a_o spiritual_a substance_n move_v a_o corporeal_a they_o be_v both_o of_o different_a nature_n as_o for_o the_o world_n that_o there_o be_v but_o one_o i_o do_v willing_o grant_v it_o if_o by_o the_o world_n he_o do_v mean_a nature_n but_o than_o it_o can_v be_v finite_a but_o thales_n seem_v to_o contradict_v himself_o in_o this_o theorem_a when_o as_o he_o grant_v that_o body_n be_v divisible_a in_o infinite_a for_o if_o there_o be_v infinite_a action_n as_o infinite_a division_n in_o nature_n then_o sure_o the_o body_n of_o nature_n itself_o must_v be_v infinite_a next_o he_o say_v that_o god_n be_v the_o soul_n of_o the_o world_n which_o if_o so_o god_n be_v infinite_a he_o can_v have_v a_o finite_a body_n to_o animate_v it_o for_o a_o finite_a body_n and_o a_o infinite_a soul_n do_v never_o agree_v together_o but_o that_o god_n shall_v be_v the_o soul_n of_o the_o world_n no_o regular_a reason_n can_v allow_v because_o the_o soul_n of_o nature_n must_v be_v corporeal_a as_o well_o as_o the_o body_n for_o a_o incorporeal_a substance_n can_v be_v mix_v with_o a_o corporeal_a next_o the_o world_n as_o the_o body_n of_o nature_n be_v dividable_a it_o will_v follow_v that_o god_n which_o be_v the_o soul_n will_v be_v dividable_a also_o three_o every_o part_n of_o the_o world_n will_v be_v a_o part_n of_o god_n as_o partake_v of_o the_o same_o nature_n for_o every_o part_n if_o the_o soul_n be_v diffuse_v through_o all_o the_o body_n will_v be_v animate_v last_o concern_v place_n as_o that_o the_o world_n be_v contain_v in_o a_o place_n my_o opinion_n be_v that_o place_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o affection_n of_o body_n and_o in_o no_o way_n different_a or_o separable_a from_o it_o for_o wheresoever_o be_v body_n or_o matter_n there_o be_v place_n also_o so_o that_o place_n can_v be_v say_v to_o contain_v the_o world_n or_o else_o it_o will_v be_v big_a than_o the_o world_n itself_o for_o that_o which_o contain_v must_v needs_o in_o compass_n or_o extent_n exceed_v that_o which_o it_o contain_v 2._o some_o few_o observation_n on_o plato_n doctrine_n 1._o plato_n say_v that_o life_n be_v two_o fold_n contemplative_a and_o active_a and_o that_o contemplation_n be_v a_o office_n of_o the_o intellect_n but_o action_n a_o operation_n of_o the_o rational_a soul_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v first_o that_o i_o know_v no_o other_o difference_n between_o intellect_n and_o reason_n but_o that_o intellect_n be_v a_o effect_n or_o rather_o a_o essential_a propriety_n of_o reason_n if_o reason_n be_v the_o principle_n of_o nature_n for_o the_o rational_a part_n be_v the_o most_o intelligent_a part_n of_o animate_v matter_n next_o i_o say_v that_o contemplation_n be_v as_o much_o a_o action_n as_o any_o other_o action_n of_o nature_n although_o it_o be_v not_o so_o gross_a as_o the_o action_n of_o the_o body_n for_o it_o be_v only_o a_o action_n of_o the_o mind_n which_o be_v more_o pure_a and_o subtle_a then_o either_o the_o sensitive_a or_o inanimate_a part_n of_o matter_n be_v and_o act_n within_o itself_o that_o be_v in_o its_o own_o substance_n or_o degree_n of_o matter_n 2._o he_o say_v that_o sense_n be_v a_o passion_n of_o the_o soul_n i_o answer_v there_o be_v as_o much_o difference_n between_o sense_n and_o the_o soul_n as_o there_o be_v between_o sense_n and_o reason_n or_o a_o sensitive_a life_n and_o a_o rational_a soul_n for_o the_o rational_a part_n of_o matter_n be_v not_o the_o sensitive_a nor_o the_o sensitive_a the_o rational_a a_o fool_n may_v have_v his_o sense_n regular_a and_o his_o reason_n irregular_a and_o therefore_o sense_n and_o reason_n be_v not_o one_o and_o the_o same_o although_o they_o have_v a_o inseparable_a communion_n in_o the_o body_n or_o substance_n of_o nature_n 3._o he_o argue_v thus_o that_o which_o move_v in_o itself_o as_o be_v the_o principle_n of_o motion_n in_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v move_v be_v always_o move_v and_o consequent_o immortal_a ungenerable_a and_o incorruptible_a but_o the_o soul_n be_v so_o ergo_fw-la etc._n etc._n i_o answer_v natural_a matter_n be_v thus_o self-moving_a be_v the_o same_o 4._o from_o say_v he_o be_v join_v to_o matter_n i_o answer_v form_n and_o matter_n be_v but_o one_o thing_n for_o it_o be_v impossible_a to_o separate_v matter_n from_o form_n or_o form_n from_o matter_n but_o what_o be_v not_o dividable_a be_v not_o composable_a and_o what_o can_v be_v separate_v can_v be_v join_v 5._o quality_n say_v he_o be_v incorporeal_a because_o they_o be_v accident_n i_o answer_v if_o quality_n be_v incorporeal_a they_o do_v not_o belong_v to_o nature_n for_o since_o the_o principle_n of_o nature_n be_v matter_n all_o that_o be_v natural_a must_v also_o be_v material_a or_o corporeal_a and_o therefore_o all_o natural_a quality_n or_o accident_n must_v of_o necessity_n be_v corporeal_a by_o reason_n quality_n can_v no_o more_o be_v divide_v from_o matter_n than_o figure_n magnitude_n colour_n place_n and_o the_o like_a all_o which_o be_v but_o one_o and_o the_o same_o with_o body_n without_o any_o separation_n or_o abstraction_n 6._o what_o plato_n affirm_v of_o that_o which_o never_o be_v and_o never_o have_v a_o beginning_n and_o of_o that_o which_o have_v a_o beginning_n and_o not_o a_o be_v be_v more_o than_o he_o or_o any_o body_n can_v rational_o prove_v for_o what_o never_o be_v nor_o be_v no_o man_n can_v know_v or_o imagine_v because_o all_o what_o be_v know_v or_o imagine_v have_v its_o real_a be_v if_o not_o without_o yet_o within_o the_o mind_n and_o all_o thought_n have_v not_o only_o a_o be_v but_o a_o material_a be_v in_o nature_n nay_o even_o the_o thought_n of_o the_o existence_n of_o a_o deity_n although_o deity_n itself_o be_v immaterial_a 7._o i_o wonder_v so_o witty_a a_o philosopher_n as_o plato_n can_v believe_v that_o matter_n in_o itself_o as_o it_o be_v the_o principle_n of_o nature_n be_v void_a of_o all_o form_n for_o he_o affirm_v himself_o that_o whatsoever_o have_v part_n have_v also_o figure_n but_o matter_n
answer_v that_o by_o a_o annihilation_n nothing_o can_v be_v produce_v and_o that_o the_o seed_n of_o vegetable_n be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v annihilate_v in_o their_o production_n that_o they_o do_v rather_o numerous_o increase_v and_o multiply_v for_o the_o division_n of_o one_o seed_n say_v they_o do_v produce_v number_n of_o seed_n out_o of_o itself_o but_o reply_v the_o empress_n a_o particular_a part_n can_v increase_v of_o itself_o it_o be_v true_a answer_v they_o but_o they_o increase_v not_o bare_o of_o themselves_o but_o by_o join_v and_o commix_v with_o other_o part_n which_o do_v assist_v they_o in_o their_o production_n and_o by_o way_n of_o imitation_n form_n or_o figure_v their_o own_o part_n into_o such_o or_o such_o particular_n then_o i_o pray_v inform_v i_o say_v the_o empress_n what_o disguise_n those_o seed_n put_v on_o and_o how_o they_o do_v conceal_v themselves_o in_o their_o transmutation_n they_o answer_v that_o seed_n do_v no_o way_n disguise_n or_o conceal_v but_o rather_o divulge_v themselves_o in_o the_o multiplication_n of_o their_o offspring_n only_o they_o do_v hide_v and_o conceal_v themselves_o from_o their_o sensitive_a perception_n so_o that_o their_o figurative_a and_o productive_a motion_n be_v not_o perceptible_a by_o animal_n creature_n again_o the_o empress_n ask_v they_o whether_o there_o be_v any_o non-being_n within_o the_o earth_n to_o which_o they_o answer_v that_o they_o never_o hear_v of_o any_o such_o thing_n and_o that_o if_o her_o majesty_n will_v know_v the_o truth_n thereof_o she_o must_v ask_v those_o creature_n that_o be_v call_v immaterial_a spirit_n which_o have_v a_o great_a affinity_n with_o non-being_n and_o perhaps_o can_v give_v she_o a_o satisfactory_a answer_n to_o this_o question_n then_o she_o desire_v to_o be_v inform_v what_o opinion_n they_o have_v of_o the_o begin_n of_o form_n they_o tell_v her_o majesty_n that_o they_o do_v not_o understand_v what_o she_o mean_v by_o this_o expression_n for_o say_v they_o there_o be_v no_o beginning_n in_o nature_n no_o not_o of_o particular_n by_o reason_n nature_n be_v eternal_a and_o infinite_a and_o her_o particular_n be_v subject_a to_o infinite_a change_n and_o transmutation_n by_o virtue_n of_o their_o own_o corporeal_a figurative_a self-motion_n so_o that_o there_o be_v nothing_o new_a in_o nature_n nor_o proper_o a_o begin_n of_o any_o thing_n the_o empress_n seem_v well_o satisfy_v with_o all_o those_o answer_n and_o inquire_v further_o whether_o there_o be_v no_o art_n use_v by_o those_o creature_n that_o live_v within_o the_o earth_n yes_o answer_v they_o for_o the_o several_a part_n of_o the_o earth_n do_v join_v and_o assist_v each_o other_o in_o composition_n or_o frame_n of_o such_o or_o such_o

yet_o it_o be_v a_o great_a prejudice_n to_o the_o worm_n and_o other_o animal_n creature_n that_o live_v under_o ground_n for_o it_o most_o common_o cause_v their_o dissolution_n and_o ruin_n at_o

like_o the_o production_n of_o all_o other_o natural_a creature_n proceed_v from_o the_o corporeal_a figurative_a motion_n of_o nature_n but_o as_o for_o their_o particular_a production_n they_o be_v

and_o tedious_a discourse_n concern_v the_o primitive_a ingredient_n of_o natural_a body_n and_o how_o by_o their_o art_n they_o have_v find_v out_o the_o principle_n out_o of_o which_o they_o consist_v but_o they_o do_v not_o all_o agree_v in_o their_o opinion_n for_o some_o say_v that_o the_o principle_n of_o all_o natural_a body_n be_v the_o four_o element_n fire_n air_n water_n earth_n out_o of_o which_o they_o be_v compose_v other_o reject_v this_o elementary_a commixture_n and_o say_v there_o be_v many_o body_n out_o of_o which_o none_o of_o the_o four_o element_n can_v be_v

next_o i_o desire_v you_o to_o consider_v that_o fire_n be_v but_o a_o particular_a creature_n or_o effect_v of_o nature_n and_o occasion_n not_o only_o different_a effect_n in_o several_a body_n

a_o faculty_n of_o know_v in_o every_o creature_n do_v yet_o deny_v nay_o rail_v against_o nature_n self-moving_a power_n condemn_v she_o as_o a_o dull_a inanimate_a senseless_a and_o irrational_a

wherefore_o experimental_a philosopher_n can_v just_o blame_v i_o for_o maintain_v the_o opinion_n of_o self-motion_n and_o a_o general_a perception_n in_o nature_n but_o to_o return_v to_o

why_o ice_n and_o snow_n will_v melt_v soon_o in_o some_o country_n or_o place_n then_o in_o other_o and_o be_v much_o hard_a in_o some_o then_o in_o other_o for_o we_o see_v that_o neither_o air_n

to_o be_v observe_v that_o oftentimes_o a_o different_a application_n of_o one_o and_o the_o same_o object_n will_v occasion_v different_a effect_n as_o for_o example_n if_o salt_n be_v mix_v with_o ice_n it_o may_v cause_v the_o contract_a body_n of_o ice_n to_o change_v its_o present_a motion_n into_o its_o former_a state_n or_o figure_n viz._n into_o water_n but_o be_v apply_v outward_o or_o

into_o piece_n of_o its_o own_o accord_n and_o without_o the_o application_n of_o any_o exterior_a object_n and_o the_o reason_n in_o my_o opinion_n be_v that_o some_o of_o the_o interior_a part_n of_o the_o ice_n endeavour_v to_o return_v to_o their_o proper_a and_o natural_a figure_n by_o virtue_n of_o their_o interior_a dilative_a motion_n do_v break_v and_o divide_v some_o of_o the_o exterior_a part_n that_o be_v contract_v by_o the_o motion_n of_o frost_n especial_o those_o which_o have_v not_o so_o great_a a_o force_n or_o power_n as_o to_o resist_v they_o but_o concern_v thaw_v some_o by_o their_o trail_n have_v find_v that_o if_o freeze_a egg_n apple_n and_o the_o like_a body_n be_v thaw_v near_o the_o fire_n they_o will_v be_v thereby_o spoil_v but_o if_o they_o be_v immerse_v in_o cold_a water_n or_o wrap_v into_o ice_n or_o snow_n the_o internal_a cold_n will_v be_v draw_v out_o as_o they_o suppose_v by_o the_o external_a and_o the_o freeze_a body_n will_v be_v harmless_o though_o not_o so_o quick_o thaw_v and_o true_o this_o experiment_n stand_v much_o to_o reason_n for_o in_o my_o opinion_n when_o freeze_a body_n perceive_v heat_n or_o fire_n the_o motion_n of_o their_o freeze_a part_n upon_o the_o perception_n endeavour_v to_o imitate_v the_o motion_n of_o heat_n or_o fire_n which_o be_v opposite_a to_o the_o motion_n of_o cold_a in_o this_o

be_v very_o probable_a that_o freeze_a body_n will_v thaw_v more_o regular_o in_o water_n or_o be_v wrap_v into_o ice_n or_o snow_n then_o by_o heat_n or_o fire_n for_o thaw_v be_v a_o dilate_v

part_n by_o sympathy_n provide_v the_o motion_n of_o the_o exterior_a cold_n do_v not_o overpower_v the_o motion_n of_o the_o interior_a freeze_a part_n for_o if_o a_o freeze_a body_n shall_v be_v wrap_v thus_o into_o ice_n or_o snow_n and_o continue_v in_o a_o open_a cold_a frosty_a air_n i_o question_v whether_o it_o will_v cause_v a_o thaw_n in_o the_o same_o body_n it_o will_v preserve_v the_o body_n in_o its_o freeze_a state_n from_o dissolve_v or_o disunit_a rather_o than_o occasion_v its_o thaw_v but_o that_o such_o freeze_a body_n as_o apple_n and_o egg_n etc._n etc._n immerse_v in_o water_n will_v produce_v ice_n on_o their_o outside_n be_v no_o wonder_n by_o reason_n the_o motion_n of_o water_n imitate_v the_o motion_n of_o the_o freeze_a body_n and_o those_o part_n of_o water_n that_o be_v near_a be_v the_o first_o imitator_n and_o become_v of_o the_o same_o mode_n by_o which_o we_o may_v see_v that_o some_o part_n will_v clothe_v themselves_o other_o only_o vail_v

natural_a for_o blood_n to_o be_v red_a as_o for_o the_o sun_n to_o be_v light_n wherefore_o when_o some_o learned_a be_v of_o opinion_n that_o those_o white_a or_o yellow_a or_o black_a juice_n which_o be_v find_v in_o the_o vein_n of_o small_a infect_v be_v their_o blood_n they_o may_v as_o well_o say_v that_o brain_n be_v blood_n or_o that_o the_o marrow_n in_o the_o bone_n be_v blood_n

and_o so_o be_v blood_n in_o some_o animal_n a_o natural_a vital_a part_n proper_a to_o the_o conservation_n of_o its_o life_n without_o which_o it_o can_v subsist_v for_o example_n a_o young_a maid_n in_o the_o green-sickness_n when_o her_o vein_n be_v full_a of_o water_n than_o blood_n appear_v pale_a and_o be_v always_o sickly_a weak_a and_o faint_a not_o able_a to_o stir_v by_o reason_n her_o

and_o the_o bone_n of_o marrow_n also_o it_o be_v as_o proper_a for_o blood_n to_o be_v red_a as_o for_o vein_n to_o contain_v blood_n for_o bone_n to_o contain_v marrow_n and_o for_o the_o head_n to_o contain_v brain_n and_o when_o they_o alter_v or_o change_v from_o their_o particular_a nature_n they_o be_v no_o more_o blood_n brain_n nor_o marrow_n wherefore_o those_o creature_n that_o

the_o air_n do_v yet_o produce_v a_o creature_n that_o for_o some_o time_n live_v in_o the_o water_n as_o a_o fish_n and_o afterward_o become_v a_o inhabitant_n of_o the_o air_n for_o this_o be_v but_o a_o production_n of_o one_o animal_n from_o another_o but_o what_o be_v more_o i_o observe_v that_o there_o be_v production_n of_o and_o from_o creature_n of_o quite_o different_a kind_n as_o for_o example_n that_o vegetable_n can_v and_o do_v breed_v animal_n and_o animal_n mineral_n and_o vegetable_n and_o so_o forth_o neither_o do_v i_o so_o much_o wonder_n at_o this_o because_o i_o observe_v that_o all_o creature_n of_o nature_n be_v produce_v but_o out_o of_o one_o matter_n which_o be_v common_a to_o all_o and_o that_o there_o be_v continual_a and_o perpetual_a generation_n and_o production_n in_o nature_n as_o well_o as_o there_o be_v perpetual_a dissolution_n but_o yet_o i_o can_v believe_v that_o some_o sort_n of_o creature_n shall_v be_v produce_v on_o a_o sudden_a by_o the_o way_n of_o transmigration_n or_o translation_n of_o part_n which_o be_v the_o most_o usual_a way_n of_o natural_a production_n for_o both_o natural_a and_o artificial_a production_n be_v

out_o of_o water_n and_o many_o the_o like_a so_o each_o way_n have_v its_o own_o particular_a motion_n which_o no_o particular_a creature_n can_v persect_o know_v i_o have_v mention_v in_o my_o

i_o have_v declare_v before_o for_o particular_a motion_n be_v but_o effect_n of_o self-moving_a matter_n but_o i_o call_v they_o principal_n because_o to_o our_o humane_a sense_n they_o seem_v to_o

they_o give_v according_a to_o their_o observation_n this_o follow_a reason_n there_o be_v say_v they_o a_o certain_a heat_n within_o the_o bowel_n of_o the_o earth_n proceed_v from_o its_o swift_a
