		Quantity, or so much.

	Comparatively, which is called their Relation.

The Form of the Predicament of Quantity.

	Not continual,

Quantity.		Of itself, as	Superficies.
			Solid.
	Continual
			Time, by Line.
			Motion, by Line and
		By accident, as	Time.
			Force, by Motion and
			Solid.

Where, it is to be noted, that line, superficies, and solid, may be said to be of such and such quantity, that is, to be originally and of their own nature capable of equality and inequality; but we cannot say there is either majority or minority, or equality, or indeed any quantity at all, in time, without the help of line and motion; nor in motion, without line and time; nor in force, otherwise than by motion and solid.

The Form of the Predicament of Quality.

			Seeing.
			Hearing.
		Primary	Smelling.
			Tasting.
	Perception		Touching.

Some things to be noted concerning predicaments.

16. Concerning which predicaments it is to be noted, in the first place, that as the division is made in the first predicament into contradictory names, so it might have been done in the rest. For, as there, body is divided into animated and not-animated, so, in the second predicament, continual quantity may be divided into line and not-line, and again, not-line into superficies and not-superficies, and so in the rest; but it was not necessary.
