There is but one light of the sun, though it be intercepted by walls and mountains, and other thousand objects.
There is but one common substance of the whole world, though it be concluded and restrained into several different bodies, in numbers infinite.
There is but one common soul, though divided into innumerable particular essences and natures.
So is there but one common intellectual soul, though it seem to be divided.
And as for all other parts of those generals which we have mentioned, as either sensitive souls or subjects, these of themselves (as naturally irrational) have no common mutual reference one unto another, though many of them contain a mind, or reasonable faculty in them, whereby they are ruled and governed.
But of every reasonable mind, this the particular nature, that it hath reference to whatsoever is of her own kind, and desireth to be united: neither can this common affection, or mutual unity and correspondency, be here intercepted or divided, or confined to particulars as those other common things are.
