And, here, after gomg a great round, and departing very far, as- 

 it (h'jiild Term, from the original definition we have given of mindy 

 viz. "1 hai if is ivhut moves ^ we are come back to it again ; and we 

 fi,i(l that it applies to every kind of mind, even the intellectual ; For 

 the intelled, when it defcends from abftradt fpeculations to the prac- 

 tice ot life, does neceflarily, as the governing principle of the mind, 

 produce the motions of the body ; and, even when it is overcome, and 

 governed by pajfton and appetite, inftead of governing them, yet it is 

 ftill what moves the iiian, if the ad:ion be the confequence of any rea- 

 foning or deliberation at all. It is, therefore, I think, true, notwith- 

 ftanding what Ariftotle has faid to the contrary *, that there is fonie- 

 thing in common belonging to all minds ; and fom.e other definition 

 may be given of mind in general, than that it is the perfedion of an 

 organized body.
