._ The omniformity of the soul is the having in her nature all forms, latent at least, and power of awaking them into act, upon occasion. _Out-world._ and _Out-Heaven._ The sensible world, the visible Heaven. P _Perigee_, } _Psychicall_, } _Pareties_, } See Interpret. Gen. _Parallax_, } _Protopathy_. } _Parturient._ See, _Vaticinant_. _Phantasie._ _Lower phantasie_, is that which resides in the Mundane spirit of a man, See _Memory_. Q _Quantitative._ Forms _quantitative_, are such sensible energies as arise from the complexion of many natures together, at whose discretion they vanish. That's the seventh Orb of things, though broken and not filling all as the other do. But if you take it for the whole sensible world, it is entire, and is the same that _Tasis_ in Psycozoia. But the centre of _Tasis_, viz. the multiplication of the reall _Cuspis_ of the _Cone_ (for _Hyle_ that is set for the most contract point of the _Cuspis_ is scarce to be reckoned among realities) that immense diffusion of atoms, is to be referred to _Psyche_, as an internall vegetative act, and so belongs to _Physis_ the lowest order of life. For as that warmth that the sense doth afford the body, is not rationall, sensitive, or imaginative, but vegetative; So this, #shamayim# _i.e._ liquid fire, which _Psyche_ sends out, and is the outmost, last, and lowest operation from her self, is also vegetative. R _Rhomboides._ See Interpr. general. _Reason._ I understand by Reason, the deduction of one thing from another, which I conceive proceeds from a kind of continuitie of phantasmes: and is something like the moving of a cord at one end; the parts next it rise with it. And by this concatenation of phantasmes I conceive, that both brutes and men are moved in reasonable wayes and methods in their ordinary externall actions. _Rayes._ The rayes of an essence is its energie. See _Energie_. _Reduplicative._ That is reduplicative, which is not onely in this point, but also in another, having a kind of circumscribed ubiquitie, _viz._ in its own sphear. And this is either by being in that sphear omnipresent it self, as the soul is said to be in the body _tota in toto & tota in qualibet parte_, or else at least by propagation of rayes, which is the image of it self; and so are divers sensible objects _Reduplicative_, as light, colours, sounds. And I make account either of these wayes justly denominate
