From hence it is, that the Schooles say, Heavy bodies  fall downwards, out of an appetite to rest, and to conserve their nature  in that place which is most proper for them; ascribing appetite, and Knowledge of what is good for their conservation, (which is more than man has) to things inanimate absurdly

Use Of Names Positive And this is all the variety of Names Positive; which are put to mark somewhat which is in nature , or may be feigned by the mind of man, as Bodies that are, or may be conceived to be; or of bodies , the Properties that are, or may be feigned to be; or Words and Speech

For the nature  of Power, is in this point, like to Fame, increasing as it proceeds; or like the motion of heavy bodies , which the further they go, make still the more hast

But the opinion that such Spirits were Incorporeall, or Immateriall, could never enter into the mind of any man by nature ; because, though men may put together words of contradictory signification, as Spirit, and Incorporeall; yet they can never have the imagination of any thing answering to them: And therefore, men that by their own meditation, arrive to the acknowledgement of one Infinite, Omnipotent, and Eternall God, choose rather to confesse he is Incomprehensible, and above their understanding; than to define his nature  By Spirit Incorporeall, and then Confesse their definition to be unintelligible: or if they give him such a title, it is not Dogmatically, with intention to make the Divine Nature understood; but Piously, to honour him with attributes, of significations, as remote as they can from the grossenesse of bodies  Visible

I know that Aristotle in the first booke of his Politiques, for a foundation of his doctrine, maketh men by nature , some more worthy to Command, meaning the wiser sort (such as he thought himselfe to be for his Philosophy;) others to Serve, (meaning those that had strong bodies , but were not Philosophers as he;) as if Master and Servant were not introduced by consent of men, but by difference of Wit; which is not only against reason; but also against experience

" As it is necessary for all men that seek peace, to lay down certaine Rights of nature ; that is to say, not to have libertie to do all they list: so is it necessarie for mans life, to retaine some; as right to governe their owne bodies ; enjoy aire, water, motion, waies to go from place to place; and all things else without which a man cannot live, or not live well

By Letters Patents For though in the Institution or Acquisition of a Common-wealth, which is independent, there needs no Writing, because the Power of the Representative has there no other bounds, but such as are set out by the unwritten Law of nature ; yet in subordinate bodies , there are such diversities of Limitation necessary, concerning their businesses, times, and places, as can neither be remembred without Letters, nor taken notice of, unlesse such Letters be Patent, that they may be read to them, and withall sealed, or testified, with the Seales, or other permanent signes of the Authority Soveraign

For from corporall penalties nature  hath exempted all bodies  Politique

For if he should have Authority from his Letters, to make the members pay what he borroweth, he should have by consequence the Soveraignty of them; and therefore the grant were either voyd, as proceeding from Errour, commonly incident to humane nature , and an unsufficient signe of the will of the Granter; or if it be avowed by him, then is the Representer Soveraign, and falleth not under the present question, which is onely of bodies  subordinate

But there be bodies  also whose times are limited, and that only by the nature  of their businesse

But that the Souls of the Faithfull, are not of their own nature , but by Gods speciall Grace, to remaine in their bodies , from the Resurrection to all Eternity, I have already I think sufficiently proved out of the Scriptures, in the 38

For men being generally possessed before the time of our Saviour, by contagion of the Daemonology of the Greeks, of an opinion, that the Souls of men were substances distinct from their bodies , and therefore that when the Body was dead, the Soule of every man, whether godly, or wicked, must subsist somewhere by vertue of its own nature , without acknowledging therein any supernaturall gift of Gods; the Doctors of the Church doubted a long time, what was the place, which they were to abide in, till they should be re-united to their bodies  in the Resurrection; supposing for a while, they lay under the Altars: but afterward the Church of Rome found it more profitable, to build for them this place of Purgatory; which by some other Churches in this later age, has been demolished

This nature  of Sight having never been discovered by the ancient pretenders to Naturall Knowledge; much lesse by those that consider not things so remote (as that Knowledge is) from their present use; it was hard for men to conceive of those Images in the Fancy, and in the Sense, otherwise, than of things really without us: Which some (because they vanish away, they know not whither, nor how,) will have to be absolutely Incorporeall, that is to say Immateriall, of Formes without Matter; Colour and Figure, without any coloured or figured Body; and that they can put on Aiery bodies  (as a garment) to make them Visible when they will to our bodily Eyes; and others say, are bodies , and living Creatures, but made of Air, or other more subtile and aethereall Matter, which is, then, when they will be seen, condensed

Paul sais, "We shall rise Spirituall bodies ," he acknowledgeth the nature  of Spirits, but that they are Bodily Spirits; which is not difficult to understand

There is a certain Philosophia Prima, on which all other Philosophy ought to depend; and consisteth principally, in right limiting of the significations of such Appellations, or Names, as are of all others the most Universall: Which Limitations serve to avoid ambiguity, and aequivocation in Reasoning; and are commonly called Definitions; such as are the Definitions of Body, Time, Place, Matter, Forme, Essence, Subject, Substance, Accident, Power, Act, Finite, Infinite, Quantity, Quality, Motion, Action, Passion, and divers others, necessary to the explaining of a mans Conceptions concerning the nature  and Generation of bodies

Nor does it follow from hence, that Spirits are Nothing: for they have dimensions, and are therefore really bodies ; though that name in common Speech be given to such bodies  onely, as are visible, or palpable; that is, that have some degree of Opacity: But for Spirits, they call them Incorporeall; which is a name of more honour, and may therefore with more piety bee attributed to God himselfe; in whom wee consider not what Attribute expresseth best his nature , which is Incomprehensible; but what best expresseth our desire to honour him
