The Description of a New World, Called the Blazing-World
·
Duchess of Margaret Cavendish Newcastle
80
The
Vehicles,
answered
they,
make
them
neither
better,
nor
worse;
for
though
some
Vehicles
sometimes
may
have
power
over
others,
yet
these
by
turns
may
get
some
power
again
over
them,
according
to
the
several
advantages
and
disadvantages
of
particular
Natural
parts.
The
Empress
asked
further,
Whether
Animal
life
came
out
of
the
spiritual
World,
and
did
return
thither
again?
The
Spirits
answered,
They
could
not
exactly
tell;
but
if
it
were
so,
then
certainly
Animal
lives
must
leave
their
bodies
behind
them,
otherwise
the
bodies
would
make
the
spiritual
World
a
mixt
World,
that
is,
partly
material,
and
partly
immaterial;
but
the
Truth
is,
said
they,
Spirits
being
immaterial,
cannot
properly
make
a
World;
for
a
World
belongs
to
material,
not
to
immaterial
Creatures.
If
this
be
so,
replied
the
Empress,
then
certainly
there
can
be
no
world
of
Lives
and
Forms
without
Matter?
No,
answered
the
Spirits;
nor
a
world
of
Matter
without
Lives
and
Forms;
for
Natural
Lives
and
Forms
cannot
be
immaterial,
no
more
then
Matter
can
be
immovable.
And
therefore
natural
lives,
forms
and
matter,
are
inseparable.
Then
the
Empress
asked,
Whether
the
first
Man
did
feed
on
the
best
sorts
of
the
Fruits
of
the
Earth,
and
the
Beasts
on
the
worst?
