Of all things which move, some have the cause of their\r\nmotion within themselves, others receive it from without:\r\nand all those things only are moved from without which are\r\nwithout life, as stones, and pieces of wood, and whatever\r\nthings are of such a nature as to be held together by the constitution\r\nof their matter alone, or of their bodily substance.<a id=\"r357\"></a><a class=\"c007 pginternal\" href=\"#f357\"><sup>[357]</sup></a>\r\nThat view must indeed be dismissed which would regard\r\nthe dissolution of bodies by corruption as motion, for it has\r\nno bearing upon our present purpose. Others, again, have\r\nthe cause of motion in themselves, as animals, or trees, and\r\nall things which are held together by natural life or soul;\r\namong which some think ought to be classed the veins of\r\nmetals. Fire, also, is supposed to be the cause of its own\r\nmotion, and perhaps also springs of water. And of those\r\nthings which have the causes of their motion in themselves,\r\nsome are said to be moved out of themselves, others by themselves.\r\nAnd they so distinguish them, because those things\r\nare moved out of themselves which are alive indeed, but\r\nhave no soul;<a id=\"r358\"></a><a class=\"c007 pginternal\" href=\"#f358\"><sup>[358]</sup></a> whereas those things which have a soul are\r\nmoved by themselves, when a phantasy,<a id=\"r359\"></a><a class=\"c007 pginternal\" href=\"#f359\"><sup>[359]</sup></a> <i>i.e.</i> a desire or incitement,\r\nis presented to them, which excites them to move\r\ntowards something. Finally, in certain things endowed with\r\na soul, there is such a phantasy, <i>i.e.</i> a will or feeling,<a id=\"r360\"></a><a class=\"c007 pginternal\" href=\"#f360\"><sup>[360]</sup></a> as by\r\na kind of natural instinct calls them forth, and arouses them\r\nto orderly and regular motion; as we see to be the case with\r\nspiders, which are stirred up in a most orderly manner by a\r\nphantasy, <i>i.e.</i> a sort of wish and desire for weaving, to undertake\r\nthe production of a web, some natural movement undoubtedly\r\ncalling forth the effort to work of this kind. Nor\r\nis this very insect found to possess any other feeling than the\r\nnatural desire of weaving; as in like manner bees also exhibit\r\na desire to form honeycombs, and to collect, as they say, aerial\r\nhoney.<a id=\"r361\"></a><a class=\"c007 pginternal\" href=\"#f361\"><sup>[361]</sup></a></p>","headings":["The Writings of Origen, Vol. 1 of 2","ORIGEN DE PRINCIPIIS.","BOOK III.","FROM THE LATIN."],"marker_anchor":null,"paragraph_id":"pg70561-paragraph-199"}],"canonical_references":[],"date_end":null,"date_start":null,"deduplication_fingerprint":"076e17482a4895e81162521ef862d97d1ceb0ad164d0e4f7999b00fe56ff3c95","edition_title":"The writings of Origen, Vol. 1 (of 2)","edition_translators":["Frederick Crombie"],"edition_year":1869,"explicit_reference_candidates":[],"headings":[],"id":"pg70561-f358","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.
