Prop. XVI.
Continuum, secundum partes in∣existentes,
natum est agere &
pati à se vel ab aliis.
CUm enim quantum con∣tinuum
non sit, nisi ipsae
partes in potentia quae per divi∣sionem
fiunt actu; quando au∣tem
sunt actu natae sint agere
& pati ab invicem, palàm est in
toto eandem virtutem in iis es∣se.
Sed quoniam in toto actu
nihil est actu nisi ipsum totum,
a 1.1 agere autem & pati non sint
nisi existentium, palàm est has
virtures non aliter esse in toto
quàm ut totum per illas agar.
Sit ita{que} totum A B, & partes
ipsius A C, C B, & habebit in
descriptionPage 20
A C, virtutem agendi & in C
B, virtutem patiendi: Clarum
ita{que} est, quòd in virtute A C
poterit agere, & ex virtute C B
pati. Natum est ita{que} totum
continuum, quantum ex vi
continui est, agere & pati à se∣metipso,
&, à fortiori, in alia
vel ab iis.
