20. Proof of this.
Every one finds in himself that his soul can think, will, and operate on his body in the place
where that is, but cannot operate on a body, or in a place, an hundred miles distant from it. Nobody can imagine
that his soul can think or move a body at Oxford, whilst he is at London; and cannot but know, that, being united
to his body, it constantly changes place all the whole journey between Oxford and London, as the coach or horse
does that carries him, and I think may be said to be truly all that while in motion: or if that will not be allowed to
afford us a clear idea enough of its motion, its being separated from the body in death, I think, will; for to consider
it as going out of the body, or leaving it, and yet to have no idea of its motion, seems to me impossible.
