CHAP. II.

Of Bodies.

a 1.1 NAturall Philosophy brancheth into two parts, of Corpore∣alls and Incorporealls.

A body is that which doeth or sufficethb 1.2 It is the sense with essence or substance, and finite:c 1.3 whatsoever is, is a body, for whatsoever is, either doeth or suffereth.

d 1.4 Principles are Bodies void of form. Elements are bodies endued with form. e 1.5 Causes are corporall, because they are spirits.

f 1.6 Qualities are Corporall, for they are spirits, and aeriall in∣tentions, which affect the parts of all things, generated with form and figure.

g 1.7 Vertues, Vices, Arts, Mmory, hatasies, Affections, Ap∣petitions, Assents, are bodies, existing in the Supream part of the Soul.

h 1.8 The Soul is a Body, because it maketh us to be living Crea∣tures.

i 1.9 Night and day are bodies.

k 1.10 Voice is a body, for it maket•••• that which is heard; in a word, whatsoever is, is a body and a subject, (l 1.11 for the Stoiks take away intellectuall substances, affirming all things that are, to be comprehended by sense) onely differences are not sub∣sistent.

m 1.12 A solid body (according to Apollodorus) is divisible three waies, into length, breadth, and depth.

A superficies is the terme of a body, or that which hath onely length and breadth, but no depth; thus Possidonius.

A line is the terme of a Superficies, or a length without breadth, that which hath length only▪

A point is the terme of a line, or th least mark. n 1.13 A body is divisible into infinite, yet it consisteth not of infi∣nite bodies.
