To this it is answeredthough the parts may not have the fame figure with th cwhole, they must have some figure; and so in oth esthings. From this it would follow only, that thoughthe parts may not have the fame thought, perception, oivolition with the whole; yet they must necessarily ha v ' csome thought ; and this is not only granted, but prov' 6 ^above (Sect. 3.

It was fh eV ^(Sect. 2. N° 14 and 15.) when speaking of machines a p ^mechanical motion, that the figure, order, positionparts, or any other possible quality matter can be enduewith would not simply make the clock move anywithout the immaterial power of gravity, constantly 2 ,ing.
