15. I We have no one adequate Conception of the Nature of our own souls; but must think of them by partial inadequate Conceptions. And that by many (not feigned or forced, but) real and necessary Trinaries in Unity.
16. And first the Three Inadequate Conceptions of its Being are the Generical, the Differencial, and the Proper-inseparable Accidental, viz. that it is, *[Greek or Hebrew], Vita, Proprietatibus suis praedita. The first notion is substantia abstractè à forma concepta: The second is the Conceptus formatis: The third its Accidents, not acquired, but natural. By LIFE I understand not Relatively only, that it is the Life of the body or Compositum; But essentially as in its nature it is Life it self, or a Living substance formally, as well as the Living Principle in the man. The word [Spirit] as commonly used by us, comprehendeth all this; but what a Spirit is, we know but by these partial Conceptions.

- *1. Substantialitas Generica, is loco materia: Aegid. Rom. saith Quodl. 1. q. 9. p. 18. Non est materia in Angelis: bene tamen est aliquid loco materia: quia non sunt Actus purus, sed habent aliquam potentialitatem admixtam: Unde in li. de Causis scribitur, quod Intelligentia habtant suam [Greek or Hebrew], i. e. suum materiale. Et hoc forte volunt illi qui in Angelis Materiam ponunt; Cum ipsi dicant materiam illam non esse ejusdem rationis cum materia corporalium: Solùm ergo in verbis videntur discordare à nobis: Quia & nos ibi aliquod materiale ponimus.
