prelation_n of_o the_o sensible_a nature_n above_o the_o vegetable_a be_v the_o faculty_n and_o exercise_n of_o animal_n and_o local_a motion_n whereas_o vegetable_n have_v natural_o no_o other_o

animal_n have_v the_o faculty_n and_o power_n of_o animal_n motion_n which_o have_v these_o accession_n 1._o it_o be_v or_o may_v be_v spontaneous_a for_o though_o the_o object_n move_v objective_o yet_o the_o faculty_n or_o power_n move_v ab_fw-la intrinseco_fw-la and_o spontaneous_o 2._o it_o move_v the_o part_n spontaneous_o the_o leg_n the_o eye_n the_o ear_n or_o any_o other_o part_n which_o can_v be_v do_v by_o vegetable_n 3._o again_o it_o can_v move_v the_o whole_a compositum_fw-la from_o one_o ubi_fw-la to_o another_o at_o least_o in_o all_o animal_n except_o those_o that_o

station_n or_o growth_n unless_o remove_v by_o a_o extrinsical_a agent_n 3._o the_o three_o superad_v advantage_n of_o animal_n be_v their_o instinct_n it_o be_v true_a vegetable_n have_v their_o instinct_n radicate_v in_o their_o nature_n as_o we_o have_v before_o observe_v yea_o even_a thing_n inanimate_a have_v certain_a simple_a instinct_n as_o in_o the_o motion_n of_o ascent_n of_o light_a body_n and_o descent_n of_o heavy_a body_n but_o the_o instinct_n of_o animal_n be_v sensible_a instinct_n of_o a_o more_o noble_a kind_n and_o nature_n than_o those_o of_o vegetable_n and_o such_o as_o seem_v to_o savour_v more_o of_o a_o active_a principle_n as_o sagacity_n of_o brute_n in_o take_v their_o prey_n defend_v themselves_o provide_v against_o the_o inclemency_n of_o the_o weather_n care_v for_o their_o young_a build_v their_o nest_n and_o infinite_a more_o which_o be_v too_o long_o to_o name_v these_o be_v the_o superadded_a faculty_n of_o the_o animal_n nature_n and_o proportionate_a and_o accommodate_v to_o their_o faculty_n be_v their_o organization_n of_o their_o body_n and_o in_o as_o much_o as_o there_o be_v great_a variety_n in_o the_o temperament_n disposition_n faculty_n and_o use_n of_o several_a animal_n of_o several_a kind_n their_o organization_n be_v not_o only_o fit_v to_o the_o common_a nature_n use_n and_o power_n of_o sensible_a creature_n but_o every_o several_a species_n have_v its_o several_a accommodation_n as_o well_o of_o his_o organ_n as_o of_o his_o faculty_n to_o the_o exigence_n use_n and_o convenience_n of_o his_o proper_a specifical_a nature_n thus_o the_o rank_n of_o the_o vegetable_a perfection_n be_v not_o only_o include_v within_o the_o rank_n of_o sensible_a being_n but_o these_o have_v great_a perfection_n in_o what_o be_v common_a to_o both_o and_o superaddition_n of_o other_o more_o noble_a faculty_n and_o organ_n not_o communicable_a to_o the_o former_a the_o vegetable_a nature_n be_v indeed_o like_o a_o curious_a engine_n but_o it_o have_v but_o some_o simple_a and_o single_a motion_n like_o a_o watch_n that_o give_v the_o hour_n of_o the_o day_n or_o a_o trochea_n with_o one_o wheel_n but_o the_o animal_n nature_n be_v like_o a_o engine_n that_o have_v a_o great_a composition_n of_o wheel_n and_o more_o variety_n of_o motion_n and_o

it_o be_v sufficient_a that_o the_o act_n of_o the_o soul_n as_o it_o relate_v to_o perception_n and_o decision_n and_o as_o it_o relate_v to_o choice_n and_o pursuit_n or_o aversation_n be_v distinguishable_a to_o we_o and_o those_o notion_n serve_v to_o explicate_v what_o we_o mean_v in_o the_o thing_n we_o discourse_v of_o as_o the_o suppose_a circle_n in_o the_o heaven_n serve_v to_o

of_o this_o of_o intellect_n be_v a_o faculty_n that_o not_o only_o gradual_o but_o essential_o differ_v from_o and_o exceed_v the_o perceptive_a faculty_n in_o brute_n three_o thing_n there_o be_v that_o give_v we_o the_o best_a notion_n we_o can_v have_v of_o the_o humane_a intellect_n and_o the_o discrimination_n thereof_o from_o the_o animal_n perception_n and_o imagination_n 1._o the_o

thing_n where_o the_o root_n of_o intellective_a perception_n be_v in_o the_o sense_n and_o fantasy_n the_o perception_n intellective_a oftentimes_o depart_v from_o and_o correct_v the_o report_n of_o

the_o former_a consideration_n touch_v the_o imaginary_a reason_v of_o brute_n which_o i_o have_v before_o call_v the_o image_n of_o reason_n and_o not_o true_o reason_n for_o it_o be_v not_o a_o
