Of an accident, called in Latine, Accidens.
WHat is an accident?
An accident is a voice or word signifying things ca∣suall, cleauing to substances or subiects, without which subiects they haue no beeing at all, and it is thus defined. An accident is that which may be absent or present without corruption of the subiect whereto it cleaueth, because it is no substantiall part of the subiect, and of such accidents some be called separable, and some vnseparable.
What is a separable accident?
A separable accident is that which may bee easily separated

from the subiect, as outward heat or cold from a mans body, whitenesse or blacknesse from a wall.
What is an vnseparable accident?
An vnseparable accident is that which cannot be separated from his subiect in deed, but only in thought or imagination, as heat from the fire, heauinesse from lead. And such accidents bee either incident to certaine subiects, or substances in particular, as some men to be gray-eied, or red-headed; or else to some whole kinde in generall, as to all Rauens to be blacke, and all Swannes to be white.
