Question 9. What examples have we of bodies and or
portions of matter?

Answer. Every thing we see, touch, or feel, is a body
or portion of matter: we ourselves are, each of us, a body or
portion of matter.

Question 10. Have we not, each of us, a mind as
well as a body?

Answer. Yes: it is our minds that we are
making use of while thus putting questions and giving answers:
but, in the teaching and learning of posology, our bodies
only are considered, and not our minds: but, of posology, our
bodies only are the subjects; not our minds.

Question 11. What examples have we of spaces
or portions of space?

Answer. Wherever, on looking round us, we see
no body, or, on feeling about us, we do not feel any body,
feel and feel no body, we say there is nothing but a space
only: and, where any or part of a body is moved, if there be
no body that takes its place, it leaves behind it a mere
space: and this portion of space may, in consideration
of the body by which it had been, but is no longer occupied filled
may be now termed an empty space or a void space. When
a space is filled, we have no need to speak of the space;
what we speak of is the body by which it is filled.

Question 12. What examples have we of motions?

Answer. When we change our places, when we
come into the school or go out of it, we, in so doing, make
a number of motions: when any of us lifts up his hand
to his face, or puts one foot before the other, he thereby makes
a motion.

Question 13. What we speak of when we say
a motion is it any thing real, any thing that exists of itself,
as there is when we speak of a body or a space?

Answer. No: in a motion there is nothing
real: nothing distinct from the body which is in motion,
and the two portions of space one of which while it is in
motion it occupies at one time, and the other at another
time.
