28. Il écrit (sect. 1) : The whole of nature may be supposod to coosist uf two essences or substances, one of which may be termed spirit, and tbe otber matter. The former of thèse possesses the power to commence or produoe motion, aod the latter to receive and communicate it Mais il finit par admettre (sect. XIV, 1), «avec saint Paul et Malebranche » : ihat the ultlmate cause only of ail motion is immaterial, that is God. Saint Paul says : a in him we live and move,and baveourbeing »,and, in the 15th chapter to the Corinthians, distingoishes between the psyché or living spirit, and the pneuma or reviving spirit. By the words spirit of animation or sensorial power, I mean only that animal life, which mankind possesses in common with brutes, and in some degree cyen with vegetables, and leaye the considération of the immortal part of us, which is the object of religion, to those who treat of révélation.
