Book,  Paragraph

  1   I,  1 |          gone on to infinity. But Nature flies from the infinite,
  2   I,  1 |        unending or imperfect, and Nature ever seeks an end.~But all
  3   I,  1 |           else, inasmuch as their nature resembles that of plants,
  4   I,  1 |         the spontaneous action of Nature, arising either from decomposition
  5   I,  2 |         in the ordinary course of Nature; but we must observe carefully
  6   I,  3 |         so-called eggs are of the nature of a uterus. It is particularly
  7   I,  4 |       cause of the testes. Now if Nature makes everything either
  8   I,  6 |     should be speedy. Such is the nature of fish and serpents. Fish
  9   I,  8 |          animals and plants whose nature is analogous to theirs,
 10   I,  8 |           down than high up, when Nature has no other business in
 11   I,  10|        because they are of a cold nature, not hot as some assert,
 12   I,  11|          little heat and so their nature does not complete the process
 13   I,  11|        beginning all have it low, Nature here having no other business
 14   I,  12|      known as the scrotum. If the nature of the skin is opposed to
 15   I,  15|    attitude is necessary, because Nature has bent backwards the end
 16   I,  16|         other large insects whose nature it is to unite; most insects
 17   I,  17|         and generally what is the nature of semen, and of the so-called
 18   I,  18|           in this case of similar nature but a kind of scolex. It
 19   I,  18|          semen is to be of such a nature that from it as their origin
 20   I,  18|         case of all animals whose nature it is to unite; semen is
 21   I,  18|         question what the primary nature of what is called semen
 22   I,  18|         neither is it contrary to Nature nor a defect, for it exists
 23   I,  18|         But these are contrary to Nature, and from such arises nothing
 24   I,  18|       arises nothing according to Nature. So then it must be a secretion
 25   I,  18|        shall say it is that whose nature is to go to all of it, and
 26   I,  18|           and to a departure from Nature.~A further proof that it
 27   I,  18|       place has been set apart by Nature for waste-products but they
 28   I,  18|        result because such is the nature of the secretion. For the
 29   I,  19|           2) that being of such a nature it should be a mass of sanguineous
 30   I,  19|          and (3) since that which Nature endows with a smaller portion
 31   I,  19|        thing that is according to Nature).~It is clear then that
 32   I,  20|          to the coldness of their nature). As then diarrhoea is caused
 33   I,  20|          the semen differs in its nature in plants and animals. A
 34   I,  20|         in two sexes the body and nature of the active and the passive
 35   I,  20|           catamenia have in their nature an affinity to the primitive
 36   I,  21|           emit anything of such a nature as to exist within that
 37   I,  21|       some animals, as birds, the nature of the female unassisted
 38   I,  22|          varying with the varying nature of the object made. In like
 39   I,  22|          animals which emit semen Nature uses the semen as a tool
 40   I,  22|         of weakness in such males Nature is not able to do anything
 41   I,  22|       scarcely strong enough when Nature herself watches over them.
 42   I,  23|        more than in plants, their nature desiring that they shall
 43   I,  23|       made out of both.~It is the nature of those creatures which
 44   I,  23|     existing in them.~In all this Nature acts like an intelligent
 45   I,  23|         union of male and female, Nature has mixed these and set
 46  II,  1 |      always, in virtue of its own nature, the cause of the better
 47  II,  1 |           should be of an eternal nature, therefore that which comes
 48  II,  1 |     better and more divine in its nature than the material on which
 49  II,  1 |         more independent in their nature, so that they have greater
 50  II,  1 |         are more perfect in their nature and participate in a purer
 51  II,  1 |         which are hotter in their nature and have more moisture and
 52  II,  1 |           lung but drier in their nature, or are colder but have
 53  II,  1 |        rather of a dry and earthy nature, the egg they produce is
 54  II,  1 |     because they are of an earthy nature and the egg they produce
 55  II,  1 |     because they are of an earthy nature, lay eggs with a hard integument.~
 56  II,  1 |     themselves bodies of a sticky nature, preserve in the same way
 57  II,  1 |          must observe how rightly Nature orders generation in regular
 58  II,  1 |           is perfect. Those whose nature is still colder than these
 59  II,  1 |         in all the productions of Nature or of art, what already
 60  II,  1 |          that, in all products of Nature or art, a thing is made
 61  II,  1 |        Now the semen is of such a nature, and has in it such a principle
 62  II,  1 |           whereas the movement of Nature exists in the product itself,
 63  II,  1 |      itself, issuing from another nature which has the form in actuality.~
 64  II,  2 |         to be mooted concerns the nature of semen. For whereas when
 65  II,  2 |      hence semen is liquid in its nature because it is made of water.
 66  II,  2 |      noticed that semen is of the nature of foam; at least it was
 67  II,  3 |    dishonour, so differs also the nature of the corresponding matter.
 68  II,  3 |      other residuum of the animal nature there may be, this also
 69  II,  3 |           has a liquid and watery nature. Therefore we ought not
 70  II,  4 |          4~In those animals whose nature is comparatively imperfect,
 71  II,  4 |         convey, nor is the female nature able to concoct it, because
 72  II,  4 |    reasons given; for, the female nature being unable to concoct
 73  II,  4 |       vessels must overflow. Then Nature, aiming at the best end,
 74  II,  4 |          violence and contrary to nature.~We have thus stated the
 75  II,  4 |      thick and of a more material nature).~If there is no external
 76  II,  4 |       superfluous proceeding, and Nature does nothing superfluous.~
 77  II,  4 |       catamenia being of the same nature)—when, I say, the more solid
 78  II,  4 |        potentially locomotive. So Nature has first designed the two
 79  II,  4 |        there is something of this nature, the substance which at
 80  II,  4 |       does it form the product of nature. For the material by which
 81  II,  4 |  generative soul, and this is the nature of every organism, existing
 82  II,  5 |          would exist in vain, and Nature makes nothing in vain. Hence
 83  II,  5 |        first, and the first last, Nature running a double course,
 84  II,  6 |    principle and end of all their nature, this must be the first
 85  II,  6 |           the organic parts whose nature is to bring others into
 86  II,  6 |           else but are not of the nature of beginnings must come
 87  II,  6 |           in the former it is the nature of the male parent that
 88  II,  6 |         mere deprivation of heat. Nature makes use of both; they
 89  II,  6 |   vertebrates it is rather of the nature of fat. In all of these
 90  II,  6 |           are not of too earthy a nature the fat is collected under
 91  II,  6 |           hardness, exactly as if Nature were a painter producing
 92  II,  6 |         is such a part. But since Nature makes nothing superfluous
 93  II,  6 |         is plain that such is the nature of the eyelids, for if the
 94  II,  6 |          over from the other. For Nature, like a good householder,
 95  II,  6 |         of the embryo itself does Nature form from the purest material
 96  II,  6 |           wait till the time when Nature has some residue to spare.~
 97  II,  6 |       They have actually the same nature as the bones, and are formed
 98  II,  6 |           their detrition. And so Nature has contrived well to meet
 99  II,  6 |       bones, and so have the same nature, even when the bones have
100  II,  6 |       unless in cases contrary to Nature), because when they are
101  II,  6 |       unless in cases contrary to Nature) is born without them.~The
102  II,  7 |         when it is perfected. For Nature sends the sanguineous nutriment
103  II,  7 |            those also unite whose nature is near akin and whose form
104  II,  7 |            The reason is that the nature of the semen is similar
105  II,  7 |        for the first principle of nature is there, so that the movements
106  II,  8 |       there are born in course of nature male and female of the same
107  II,  8 |          ass is an animal of cold nature, and so is not wont to be
108  II,  8 |          been said of such a cold nature, its semen also must be
109  II,  8 | difficulty of a cross contrary to nature is added, (when too even
110  II,  8 |           sterile and contrary to nature, will need nothing further
111 III,  1 |        made from residual matter, nature cannot afford to spend much
112 III,  1 |           seminal secretion, what Nature takes from the one place
113 III,  1 |           because it is of a cold nature, as is shown by the cowardice
114 III,  1 |        less obvious because their nature is colder. The secretion
115 III,  1 |          a lascivious and fertile nature, so that the impulse they
116 III,  1 |        Now in animals of a hotter nature the part from which the
117 III,  1 |         for they are of a moister nature and are colder than the
118 III,  1 |          which are both of a cold nature and also moister (such is
119 III,  2 |           the remaining part. For Nature not only places the material
120 III,  2 |     another part, in the breasts, Nature does this for birds in the
121 III,  2 |         and need the mother-bird. Nature seems to wish to implant
122 III,  2 |        always, for being of a hot nature they make the moisture in
123 III,  2 |       overboil so to say. For the nature of the white is opposed
124 III,  2 |          because though earthy in nature it is only so in the same
125 III,  2 |  membranes, as being different in nature. The precise details of
126 III,  3 |     externally. The reason is the nature of its body, for its head
127 III,  3 |           are of a moist and soft nature, for they are sheltered
128 III,  3 |        for the egg is of the same nature both at the point of attachment
129 III,  4 |        effected in animals by the nature of the vital heat, in yeasts
130 III,  4 |          of fish is prolific, for Nature makes up for the destruction
131 III,  4 |         instead of numerous, what Nature has taken away in number
132 III,  7 |       required for copulation, as Nature prefers to expend the milt
133 III,  7 |         kind of cock change their nature to that of the later cock.
134 III,  7 |        any kind of fish of such a nature as to generate without a
135 III,  8 |           and therefore of a cold nature.~In the sepias and calamaries
136 III,  9 |     imperfect embryo is of such a nature; and in all animals, even
137 III,  9 |       into parts; now such is the nature of the scolex. After this
138 III,  9 |       first from a formation this nature. I say that the former generate
139 III,  9 |          products that are of the nature of a scolex, after progressing
140 III,  9 |      reason of this is that their nature, because of its imperfection,
141 III,  9 |          an egg is also of such a nature that when it has reached
142 III,  10|          and the drones male, for Nature does not give weapons for
143 III,  10|        since what is according to Nature is always in due order,
144 III,  10|   beautifully is this arranged by Nature that the three kinds always
145 III,  10|          of the former, but where Nature has taken away from them
146 III,  10|          quickly something of the nature of a scolex and of a considerable
147 III,  11|         the former. Because their nature answers to that of plants,
148 III,  11|           earth, so much does the nature of testacea differ from
149 III,  11|        those on the land. For the nature of liquid is more plastic
150 III,  11|         no blood and not of a hot nature are not produced in lakes
151 III,  11|           bloodless and of a cold nature. For they seek at the same
152 III,  11|        fresh water and hot in its nature; it has a share in all the
153 III,  11|         by something of a seminal nature. We must not, however, consider
154 III,  11|    useless material, in the other Nature does so. Animals and plants
155 III,  11|          have but little blood by nature, are nevertheless sanguinea,
156 III,  11|         body of the eel, have the nature of a scolex.~Hence one might
157  IV,  1 |       says in the words: "But the nature of the limbs hath been sundered,
158  IV,  1 |          it is a sign of a hotter nature, whereas the truth is just
159  IV,  1 |           the male organs.~Again, Nature gives both the faculty and
160  IV,  1 |        sanguineous nutriment. And Nature assigns to each of the secretions
161  IV,  1 |           the uterus is of such a nature, this being the part by
162  IV,  2 |  catamenia occur in the course of nature rather when the month is
163  IV,  2 |          as products of art or of Nature exist in virtue of a certain
164  IV,  3 |   monstrosity; for in these cases Nature has in a way departed from
165  IV,  3 |     principle, if it lose its own nature, changes to its opposites,
166  IV,  3 |      quantity of their food their nature is not able to master it
167  IV,  4 |         stated later, but in them Nature has made an advance towards
168  IV,  4 |         invades animals of such a nature. So, too, it is in these
169  IV,  4 |       class of things contrary to Nature, not any and every kind
170  IV,  4 |         not any and every kind of Nature, but Nature in her usual
171  IV,  4 |         every kind of Nature, but Nature in her usual operations;
172  IV,  4 |    nothing can happen contrary to Nature considered as eternal and
173  IV,  4 |         that which is contrary to Nature is in a certain sense according
174  IV,  4 |        certain sense according to Nature, whenever, that is, the
175  IV,  4 |     whenever, that is, the formal nature has not mastered the material
176  IV,  4 |         not mastered the material nature. Therefore they do not call
177  IV,  4 |       reason is that it is in its nature intermediate between white
178  IV,  4 |            so to say, contrary to Nature; at least, is it not a change
179  IV,  4 |         not a change into another nature. But in animals producing
180  IV,  4 |         only depart a little from Nature commonly live; not so those
181  IV,  4 |        But in the smaller animals Nature takes away from the size
182  IV,  4 |        those intermediate in size Nature has assigned the intermediate
183  IV,  4 |         than what is according to Nature. In like manner, if the
184  IV,  4 |         be multiplied contrary to Nature is the same as the cause
185  IV,  4 |           than is required by the nature of the part. The result
186  IV,  4 |  nourishment as being contrary to Nature; it is attached like a growth (
187  IV,  4 |       body proper and contrary to Nature.) If the formative power
188  IV,  5 |           the barrenness of their nature and because their uterus
189  IV,  5 |      however, this is contrary to Nature, so that the embryo suffers,
190  IV,  5 |        animals it is according to Nature, for their body is so formed
191  IV,  6 |      striving as it were with the nature of the solid-hoofed animals.
192  IV,  6 |          are weaker and colder in nature, and we must look upon the
193  IV,  6 |           is of what is formed by Nature. For the reason just given
194  IV,  6 |          in man it is contrary to Nature that they should run an
195  IV,  6 |    however, it is not contrary to Nature. A difference is also found
196  IV,  7 |         maternal heat. (For their nature seems to be incapable, and
197  IV,  7 |           a long time, for in its nature it is neither perfect nor
198  IV,  8 |        for the time of birth. For Nature has made it for the sake
199  IV,  8 |       anything chance contrary to Nature. In the other animals the
200  IV,  8 |       female are of a sanguineous nature, and the first principle
201  IV,  8 |            That milk has the same nature as the secretion from which
202  IV,  8 |           same as that from which Nature forms the animal in generation.
203  IV,  8 |         do not occur according to Nature, nor do they conceive; if
204  IV,  8 |           up. This is because the nature of the milk and of the catamenia
205  IV,  8 |        catamenia is the same, and Nature cannot be so productive
206  IV,  8 |        say that it is contrary to Nature, for in all cases where
207  IV,  8 |          is what is "according to Nature".~The time also at which
208  IV,  10|        other circumstances of its nature, of which we will speak
209  IV,  10|           It is the aim, then, of Nature to measure the coming into
210  IV,  10|           from being according to Nature, and often cause things
211  IV,  10|           to fall out contrary to Nature.~We have now spoken of the
212   V,  1 |     things are not the product of Nature working upon the animal
213   V,  1 |           and ordered products of Nature, we must not say that each
214   V,  1 |          above, because it is its nature to act or be acted on in
215   V,  1 |          sleep seems to be in its nature such a condition, being
216   V,  1 | themselves, for they are not of a nature to have more than one colour.
217   V,  1 |         the reverse, but also the nature of the skin upon what is
218   V,  1 |           too much. Whenever then Nature cannot make the eyes correspond
219   V,  2 |        and material, and he is by nature the thinnest-skinned of
220   V,  2 |          size.~The workmanship of Nature is admirable also in the
221   V,  3 |         of fish.~For what purpose Nature has made hair in general
222   V,  3 |          the skin is of an earthy nature; being on the surface of
223   V,  3 |           hair, in the others the nature of the climate is the cause.
224   V,  3 |            for these, too, are by nature less hot and moist than
225   V,  3 |         not go bald because their nature is like that of children,
226   V,  4 |           their colour, it is the nature of the skin that is the
227   V,  5 |          white, this is caused by nature, not by any affection. The
228   V,  6 |         those animals of which by nature the individual is whole-coloured
229   V,  6 |        differ from those white by nature, so also in the hair the
230   V,  6 |          differs from that due to nature in that the cause is different;
231   V,  6 |        cold are the causes of the nature of the skin and hair, each
232   V,  7 |      especially plain in man, for Nature has given this faculty to
233   V,  7 |           to belong to the nobler nature, and in songs the deep note
234   V,  7 |           because of their female nature, the part by which they
235   V,  7 |       heart of bulls is of such a nature is shown by the fact that
236   V,  8 |       that they grow according to Nature, and suckling is the cause
237   V,  8 | assumption upon what we see, that Nature never fails nor does anything
238   V,  8 |        time of reaching maturity, Nature would fail in something
239   V,  8 |         besides, the operation of Nature would be contrary to Nature,
240   V,  8 |       Nature would be contrary to Nature, for what is done by violence
241   V,  8 |           violence is contrary to Nature, and it is by violence that
242   V,  8 |   necessity all the operations of Nature. Now they are necessary,
243   V,  8 |          So it is reasonable that Nature should perform most of her
244   V,  8 |           living things formed by Nature. But to say that necessity
