Prop. X.
Ulima Animalis differentia, seu in∣dividualitas,
est ordo ad illam
actionem & eo modo peragen∣dam
quo nata est peragi ex vi
omnium determinationum sub∣stantiae
quae sunt in supposito in
primo instanti conceptionis,
hoc est, dum habet primum
actum sensationis in cerebro.
a 1.1 CUm enim animal vocemus

facta; non possit autem
deesse Agens quàm primùm
cerebrum est capax sensationis;
fit, quàm primùm cerebrum est,
esse primam sensationem. Cùm

propter quam natum est, patet,
resultare ex his omnibus apti∣tudinem
indivisibilem hujus
substantiae ad actionem, &, per
consequens, aptitudinem ad
certum & indivisibilem mo∣dum
perficiendi talem actio∣nem;
