Tbe confequences which follow and do not In the fourth place then, 7f fowl is nog 
Jollow to hodies with rejpec? to themfelves the confequences to bodies wiih refpect to 
are, that in acertain refpect they move ¢hemfelves are, the immoveable, privation 
themfelves, through being animated, and of difference according to life, and the 
in acertain refpeét do not move them-_ privation of fympathy to-each other. The 
felves: for there are many modes of felf- conjequences which do not follow are, a fen- 
meson: : _ fibie knowledge of each other, and to be 
Again, of foul is, the confequences to bodies moved from themfelves. That which jol- 
with refpeé? to foul, are, tobe moved in- evs and does not follow is, to be paflive to 
ternally and vivified by foul, to be pre- each otner ; for in one re{peét they would 
ferved and conneétedthrough it, andtobe be paffive, and inanother not; fince they 
entirely fufpended from it.The confequences would be alone corporeally and not vitally 
wbch do not follow, are, to be diflipated Dailive. 
by foul, and to be filled from it with a pri- 
vation of lifes; for bodies receive from 
foul, life and connection. Tbe confequences 
which follow and do not follow are, that bo- 
dies participate, and do not participate of 
foul; for fo far as foul is pretent with bo- 
lies, fo far they may -be faid to partici- 
pate of fouls but fo far as. it is feparate 
from them, fo far they do not participate 
of foul. And this forms the fecond 
hexad. 
The third hexad is as follows: zf foul is 
not, the confequences #0 it/e/f with. refpedt 
to itfelf are, the non-vital, the uneflenticl, 
and the non-intelleétual; for not having 
any fubfiftence, it has neither effence, nor 
life, nor intelle&t. The confequences which 
do not follow are, the ability to preferve it- 
felf, to -give fubfitience to, and be mo- 
tive of itfelf, with every thing elfe of 
this kind. Tbe confequences which follow 
and do not follow are, the unknown and 
the irrational. For not having a fubfift- 
@nce, it is in a certain refpect unknown 
and irrational with refpect to itfelf, as 
neither reafoning, nor having avy know- 
ledge of itfelf; butin another refpedct, it 
is neither irrational nor unknown, if it is 
confidered as a certain nature, which is 
not rational, nor endued with knowledge. 
Again, if foul is not, the confequences 
which follow to itfelf with refpeet to bodies © 
are, to be unprolific of them, to be un- 
mingled with, and to employ no providen- 
tial energies about them. de cox/e- 
quences whico do not follow are, fo move, 
vivify, and conneét bodies. Tbe confe- 
quences which follow and do not foliow are, 
that it is different from bodies, and that 
at does not communicate with them. -For 
’ this, in a certain refpeét, is true and not 
true ; if that which is not foul, is confider- 
ed as having indeed a being, but uncon- 
nefted with foul; for thus it is different 
from bodies, fince thefe are perpetually 
conneéted with foul. And again, it is not 
different from bodies, fo far as it has 
no fubGftence, and is not. And this 
‘forms the third hexad. 
Again, if foul is not, the confequences to 
Other things wiih reipect fo it are; not to be 
taken care of, nor to be moved by foul. 
The confequences which do not follow are, to 
be viviied and conneéted by foul. Toe 
confequences which follow and do not follow 
are, to be affimilated and not aflimilaced 
to foul: for fo far as foul having no fub- 
fiftence, neither will bodies fubfift, fo far 
they will be alhmilated to foul; for they 
willfuffer the fame with it: but fo far as 
it is impotiible for that which is nat, to be 
fimilar to any thing, fo far bodies will 
have no fimilitude to foul. And this 
forms the fourth and laft hexad. 
Hence we conclude, that foul is the 
caufe,of life, {ympathy, andsmotion to bo 
dies; and in fhort, of their being and pre= 
fervation: for foul fubfifting, thefe are at 
the fame time introduced ; but not fub- 
fifting, they are at the fame time taken 
away. Your's, &c.-.

SstR, 
Te practice of infuring againft fire, 
is now fo widely extended, it in- 
volves fo much property iu every clafs of 
fociety, except the loweft; that | make 
no apology for extending, beyond pro- 
feffional readers, the knowledge of a legal 
determination, which materially affects 
the fecurity of fuch infurances. In the 
propofals of the Pheemix Company, (and I 
believe in thofe alfo of the Royal Ex. 
change and Sun Fire Offices) is infert.d 
a variety of regulations and reftriftions, 
impofed upon the infured as a protection 
againtt fraud; and, amongtt others, thofe 
who fuftain any lofs are required * to 
procure a certificate of the minifter, 
churchwardens,and {ome reputable houfe-
