,change of corporeal motions, and the death of an animal is nothing
else but the dissolving motions of its figure; for when a man is
dying, the motions which did formerly work to the consistence of his
figure do now work to the dissolution of his figure, and to the
production of some other figures, changing and transforming every
part thereof; but though the figure of that dead animal is dissolved,
yet the parts of that dissolved figure remain still in Nature although
they be infinitely changed, and will do so eternally, as long as Nature
lasts by the Will of God; for nothing can be lost or annihilated in
Nature. And this is all, Madam, that I can answer to your questions,
wherein, I hope, I have obeyed your commands, according to the
duty of,
Madam,
Your faithful Friend
and humble Servant.

MADAM,
I have thus far discharged my duty, that according to your
commands, I have given you my judgment of the works of those
four famous Philosophers of our age, which you did send me to
peruse, and have withal made reflexions upon some of their opinions
in Natural Philosophy, especially those, wherein I did find them
dissent from the Ground and Principles of my own Philosophy. And
since by your leave I am now publishing all those Letters which I
have hitherto written to you concerning those aforesaid Authors, and
their Works, I am confident I shall not escape the censures of their
followers; But, I shall desire them, that they will be pleased to do
me this Justice, and to examine first my opinions well, without any
partiality or wilful misinterpretation of my sence, before they pass
, their censure: Next, I desire them to consider, That I have no skill in
School-learning, and therefore for want of terms of Art may easily
chance to slip, or at least, not express my opinions so clearly as my
readers expected; However, I have done my endeavour, and to my
sense and reason they seem clear and plain enough, especially as I
have expressed them in those Letters I have sent you; for
concerning my other Work, called Philosophical Opinions, I must
confess, that it might have been done more exactly and
perspicuously, had I been better skilled in such words and
expressions as are usual in the Schools of Philosophers; and
therefore, if I be but capable to learn names and terms of Art,
(although I find my self very untoward to learn, and do despair of
proving a Scholar) I will yet endeavour to rectifie that work, and
make it more intelligible; for my greatest ambition is to express my
conceptions so, that my Readers may understand them: For which I
would not spare any labour or pains, but be as industrious as those
that gain their living by their work; and I pray to God, that Nature
may give me a capacity to do it. But as for those that will censure
my works out of spite and malice, rather then according to justice,
let them do their worst; for if God do but bless them, I need not to
fear the power of Nature, much less of a part of Nature, as Man.
Nay, if I have but your Ladiships approbation, it will satisfie me; for I
know you are so wise and just in your judgment, that I may safely
rely upon it: For which I shall constantly and unfeignedly remain as
long as I live,
Madam,
Your Ladiships most faithful Friend
and humble Servant.
