7.23

God, or the Spirit of Nature, works the Mass of Matter like Wax. Now for the purpose, 'tis a Horse ; soon after you'l have it melted down, and Run into the Figure of a Tree ; And from this Form 'tis possible it may remove into the Flesh and Bones of a Man ; or what you please. And 'tis but a little while that 'tis fixt in one Species. Now a Trunk feels no more pain by being knocked in peices, than when it was first put together. 6
