Quippe etenim non est, cum quovis corpore ut esse posse animi natura putetur consiliumque; sicut in aethere non arbor, non aequore salso nubes esse queunt neque pisces vivere in arvis nec cruor in lignis neque saxis sucus inesse: certum ac dispositumst ubi quicquid crescat et insit.
For in fact it is not possible that the mind and understanding can be thought able to reside in any and every body; just as in the upper air there can be no tree, no clouds in the salt sea, as fish cannot live on the fields, blood cannot be in wood, nor sap in stones. It is fixed and ordained where each thing can grow and abide.
