rest。 For they are all of them differentiated by the various qualities



enumerated above; tension; tractility; comminuibility; hardness;



softness; and the rest of them: all of which are derived from the



hot and the cold and the mixture of their motions。 But no one would go



as far as to consider them sufficient in the case of the



non…homogeneous parts (like the head; the hand; or the foot) which



these homogeneous parts go to make up。 Cold and heat and their



motion would be admitted to account for the formation of copper or



silver; but not for that of a saw; a bowl; or a box。 So here; save



that in the examples given the cause is art; but in the nonhomogeneous



bodies nature or some other cause。



  Since; then; we know to what element each of the homogeneous



bodies belongs; we must now find the definition of each of them; the



answer; that is; to the question; 'what is' flesh; semen; and the



rest? For we know the cause of a thing and its definition when we know



the material or the formal or; better; both the material and the



formal conditions of its generation and destruction; and the efficient



cause of it。



  After the homogeneous bodies have been explained we must consider



the non…homogeneous too; and lastly the bodies made up of these;



such as man; plants; and the rest。
