Evidence of this lies in 6 3 | immovable in order to create movement, and then this is no part 7 3 | part of that which creates movement; or if the mover is from 8 3 | impossible for a single movement to be initiated by what 9 3 | of that which initiates movement must be made equal to the 10 3 | which that which initiates movement does so; and as there is 11 3 | similar power initiates movement from within, must exert 12 3 | moved but does not initiate movement. Therefore the force of 13 4 | strange were the origin of movement inside. And to those who 14 4 | and initiate their own movement. For one part of an animal 15 4 | and that which initiates movement, and whether they also, 16 5 | is, as we hold, a primary movement, this would be the cause 17 5 | world this is the primary movement, when the creature attains 18 5 | this is not the primary movement then the point at rest is 19 6 | thing—and the manner of the movement of the first and eternally 20 6 | and what is the origin of movement in a living creature. For, 21 6 | creature. For, if we except the movement of the universe, things 22 6 | life are the causes of the movement of all else, that is of 23 6 | is the term of all their movement, the end, that is, in view. 24 6 | intellect first initiates movement, not, that is, every object 25 6 | extent. For it initiates movement only so far as something 26 6 | is moved eternally, the movement of living creatures has 27 7 | sometimes not; sometimes by movement, sometimes not?

When movement arises from a joint, one 35 8 | the soul, the original of movement, could not lie in either 36 8 | original point which causes movement. For the stick too has an 37 8 | the original of the hand’s movement is in the wrist.
