OF MANS SOULE. Chap.II. 17 



ccs, the vertue of dividing is fharpndTe and edge, by tranflation 

 from thence, fuch a judgement as pierceth neatly and fmartlybe- 

 tweene contradictories that lie clofe together, is called fiarpe 

 and acuttr In like manner ,fnl>tilitj is a vertue, whereby a liqaor 

 er other body fearcheth every little hole and part of what it wor- 

 keth upon, till itga through it ; and from thence, it is afed in 

 judgements to fignifie the fame: whofc oppofite vice is caliji 

 dulntffe. 



In the laft place we are to examine, what proportion a jadge- 1 1 

 ment holdeth with the parts of motion : in thefe , two things are J. 11 w ar c ."- 

 to be confidered, namely the quantity or multitude of thofe parts, jJcffeanSfclcai- 

 and the order of them. As for the quantity in a motion, it belon- nc fl<. ot j u d g i- 

 geth either to long or (hort, or to quick and (low: now, where mem rand their 

 the beginning and ending are already knowne and determined, pppoficc vices* 

 and consequently where the length is determined, and dependeth 

 not at all of the judge to alter it, (for he muft take it as the matter 

 givtth it) there a judgement can acquire no denomination of 

 perfection or deficiency, from length or from fliortnefle; for they 

 belong originally to the matter of the judgement; and the judge- 

 ment muft accordingly fit it felfe to that ; and therefore is liable 

 neither to commendations rjr to reproach , for being long or 

 fhort : it ivmaincth then, that the vertue in judging anfwerable to 

 the quantity of motipn,muft confift in quicknesand celerity j and 

 the contrary vice, in (lownefle and heavinefle. 



As for order in the feverall parts of motion, wee know that if 

 they be well ordered , they are diftindjand eafily difcernable. 

 Which vertue, in our fubjed, is called clcarneffe o 

 as the contrary vice is confufun.
