In Naturals the word Condition is oft used pro ratione formali▪ per quam alicujus disciplina subjectum adaquatū constitui solet. As e. g. Physicus considerat corpus, cum conditions mobilitatis, Geometer considerat quantitatem cum conditions continuitatis, Arithmaticus cum conditions disjunctionis; Modicus considerat humanū corpus cum conditions, f•i•. quatenus agretare & sanari potest. Sometimes also any quality, or action, which is sine qua non to an ⟨p. 73⟩effect or event is in mere Naturals called a Condition; as the dryness of the wood, and the approximation of it to the fire, &c. are conditions of its burning: the non-impedition of a more powerful Agent, is a Condition of the efficacious action of every lower cause, &c.

Many other acceptions of the word in Physics by Zabarel, Claudius Alberius and others; you may see in Goclenii Lexic. Philosoph. in nom. conditio. But we are not in a Physical, but a moral discourse, and therefore must be understood according to the subject matter. It is therefore a Civil or Legal Condition that we have to enquire after, and must fetch our descriptions from Lawyers, and not from Physics, and therefore it is but deceitful equivocation in some Opponents, to fetch their opposition from Physical instances.
