examples: The sensitive appetite is one generic power, and is called sensuality; but it is divided into two powers, which are species of the sensitive appetite---the irascible and the concupiscible.

For example, fire has a natural inclination, not only to rise from a lower position, which is unsuitable to it, towards a higher position which is suitable, but also to resist whatever destroys or hinders its action.
And as the body shall be spiritual, so truly immortal, and free from all corruptive change; as the Sun which for so many ages hath shined with an equal brightness to the World, and hath a durable fulness of light in it.
So the exotic writer of Modernia prepares a reeking corruptive dish for his readers, o.r else an anaesthetic concocted from the malodorous flowers of the night.
