nation of what it is y following the precedent motion of fame bt^ 

 die, but without motion in it fe/fc. As for example r when 

 *he Sunnecommeth into our horifon, (faith he) the illumi- 

 nation of the Horilbn, is an effect man in/tent, foJlowin 

 from the motion which the Sunne had, fince his fetting in 

 the other Hemiiphere, untill hee appeare there againe : fb 

 that (according to himj the way of making this light, is the 

 Sunnes local! motion; butthzzfto&orthebciffgenlfghtnedi 

 is a thing of a very different nature, done without begin - 

 nog, and continuing untill the Snnne depart againe from 

 our Horifon. And as hee explicated? this aib"on of illumi- 

 nation, in the fame manner, doth hec the actions of fenfe 

 and of undemanding. Vpon all which I urge, that no Pe- 

 riparetike will deny mee, but that as in every particular fen- 

 fation or thinking, there proceedeth a Corporall mow 

 tion , out of which ic enfacth, fo this generall motion ^. 

 which wee call the life of man , prccedech that twinkle or 

 moment, in which fhee becornmeth an abfoJute /pirit, or i- 

 habitart of the next world. Wherefore h cannot bee faid, 

 tliat wee introduce a doctrine aliene from the Peripatetike 

 way of Philofophifing, if wee put a momentary effect or 

 rnotion ( according to their phraie of fpeaking) to follow 

 out of the courfeof mans lire ; fihce they put diverfe fuch 

 effecl:s^ to follow out of particular parts of it. 



Now, this momentary change, or what thev pleafe to call 

 it, is that which maketh at one blow, all this knowledge we 

 fpea^e'of : for, if we rememberthat kro vledge isnot a do. 

 ing or a motion, but a Being; as is agreed betwecne the Pe- 

 ripatetikes and us ; rhey cannot, for the continuing it, re- 

 quire inftraments and morars : for they are neceflary onely 

 for change, not for being. NOVY, all this mighty change, 

 which is madeat thefoules efelivery, we conceive fo.'low- 

 3th precifefy out of the change of \\<K%cing: for feeing ic 

 is fuppofed, that her Being was tebre in abody x but is now 

 out of a body ; it mull of necdTity follow, that all impe- 

 diments, which grew out of her being in a body, muft bee 

 taken away by he* being freed from it. Among which im- 

 p:diments, one is, thac time is then required betwixt her
