Paragraph

 1 1|        of animals and all living things, in order to ascertain what
 2 1|         are common to all living things, while others are peculiar
 3 1|    disease can exist in lifeless things. Indeed we may say of most
 4 1|      pursue their food, and shun things that are bad or destructive.
 5 1|         distinctive qualities of things, from which the knowledge
 6 2| determined in the following way: Things which are smooth have the
 7 2|          while none of the other things in which images are reflected
 8 2|        not occur between any two things taken at random. And how
 9 3|           must we conceive those things to be mixed which are not
10 4|         their being in different things. Savours, as a class, display
11 4|   richest variety. For, like all things else, the Moist, by nature’
12 4|      pair of substances. Any two things can affect, or be affected
13 4|         why the ash of all burnt things is bitter; for the potable [

16 5|       odours of flowers and such things. For the heat and stimulation
17 5|       repugnance to the odour of things which are essentially ill-smelling,
18 5|     destroyed, however, by these things, just as human beings are;
19 6|         these [hypothetical real things without sensible qualities]?
20 6|   limited. For in all classes of things lying between extremes the
21 6|    several sensible qualities of things are to be reckoned as species,
22 6|     since to the equalization of things their being near to, or
23 6|          the same object]. These things [the odour or sound proper]
24 6|     point midway] like manner of things which undergo qualitative
25 7|        the latter sort are those things which belong to different
26 7|        provinces (for only those things are capable of mixture whose

28 7|         with itself. Hence, when things are mixed we of necessity
29 7|    should perceive the different things coinstantaneously, but each
30 7|        holds true in that of the things themselves? For the same
