Sect. 3.

* 1.1And then in the next place, colour is not an apparition of the motion, &c. which the object worketh in the braine, &c. His very phrase confutes it, for colour is the object, now if it be the object, it is not an apparition of the mo∣ion which the object worketh. Again, colour is a per∣manent thing, an apparition of a motion is transient, as the motion is, and that motion he names is of little or no stay at all, most suddain. Again, if it be an apparition of such a motion, how came that motion to be green, yel∣low, blew? &c. either it hath it originally from it self, and then that motion hath colour in it; or else it hath it from the mover, which is the object, then how could the object make it of any colour, when by this Gentle∣man, it hath none? It cannot be therefore as he saith, that either colour or Image can be the apparition unto us of the motion which the object worketh.
