Nevertheless we must not forget that a substance\r\nnever exists without a quality, and that it is by an act of\r\nthe understanding alone that this [substance] which underlies\r\nbodies, and which is capable of quality, is discovered to\r\nbe matter. Some indeed, in their desire to investigate these\r\nsubjects more profoundly, have ventured to assert that bodily\r\nnature<a id=\"r1068\"></a><a class=\"c007 pginternal\" href=\"#f1068\"><sup>[1068]</sup></a> is nothing else than qualities. For if hardness and\r\nsoftness, heat and cold, moisture and aridity, be qualities;\r\nand if, when these or other [qualities] of this sort be cut\r\naway, nothing else is understood to remain, then all things\r\nwill appear to be “qualities.” And therefore also those\r\npersons who make these assertions have endeavoured to maintain,\r\nthat since all who say that matter was uncreated will\r\nadmit that qualities were created by God, it may be in this\r\nway shown that even according to them matter was not\r\nuncreated; since qualities constitute everything, and these\r\nare declared by all without contradiction to have been made\r\nby God. Those, again, who would make out that qualities\r\nare superimposed from without upon a certain underlying\r\nmatter, make use of illustrations of this kind: <i>e.g.</i> Paul undoubtedly\r\n<span class=\"pageno\" id=\"Page_351\">351</span>is either silent, or speaks, or watches, or sleeps, or\r\nmaintains a certain attitude of body; for he is either in a\r\nsitting, or standing, or recumbent position. For these are\r\n“accidents” belonging to men, without which they are almost\r\nnever found. And yet our conception of man does not lay\r\ndown any of these things as a definition of him; but we so\r\nunderstand and regard him by their means, that we do not at\r\nall take into account the reason of his [particular] condition\r\neither in watching, or in sleeping, or in speaking, or in\r\nkeeping silence, or in any other action that must necessarily\r\nhappen to men.<a id=\"r1069\"></a><a class=\"c007 pginternal\" href=\"#f1069\"><sup>[1069]</sup></a> If any one, then, can regard Paul as being\r\nwithout all these things which are capable of happening, he\r\nwill in the same way also be able to understand this underlying\r\n[substance] without qualities. When, then, our mind\r\nputs away all qualities from its conception, and gazes, so\r\nto speak, upon the underlying element alone, and keeps its\r\nattention closely upon it, without any reference to the softness\r\nor hardness, or heat or cold, or humidity or aridity of\r\nthe substance, then by means of this somewhat simulated\r\nprocess of thought<a id=\"r1070\"></a><a class=\"c007 pginternal\" href=\"#f1070\"><sup>[1070]</sup></a> it will appear to behold matter clear from\r\nqualities of every kind.</p>","headings":["The Writings of Origen, Vol. 1 of 2","ORIGEN DE PRINCIPIIS.","BOOK IV.","FROM THE LATIN."],"marker_anchor":null,"paragraph_id":"pg70561-paragraph-354"}],"canonical_references":[],"date_end":null,"date_start":null,"deduplication_fingerprint":"38c9a4effeab9769b60dc132fdb1c468b0d47adb1883b4262fe29d5131f48d3f","edition_title":"The writings of Origen, Vol. 1 (of 2)","edition_translators":["Frederick Crombie"],"edition_year":1869,"explicit_reference_candidates":[],"headings":[],"id":"pg70561-f1069","license_url":"https://www.gutenberg.org/policy/license.html","public_import_allowed":false,"record_kind":"original-editor-translator-note","review_required":["work and recension attribution","original-work chronology","Bible reference numbering and citation kind","English edition rights and attribution"],"review_status":"needs_review","rights_evidence":"Project Gutenberg metadata: Public domain in the USA.
