Strona 688 z 734

The illustration then afforded by the polities alluded to is

this, as the Kings first decided and then announced their

decision for acceptance and execution by their subjects, so

Reason, having decided on the course to be taken, communicates

its decision to the Will, which then proceeds to move [Greek: ta

organika merae]. To instance in an action of the mixed kind

mentioned in the first chapter, safe arrival at land is naturally

desired, two means are suggested, either a certain loss of goods,

or trying to save both lives and goods, the question being

debated, the former is chosen, this decision is communicated to

the Will, which causes the owner's hands to throw overboard his

goods: the act is denominated voluntary, because the Will is

consenting, but in so denominating it, we leave out of sight how

that consent was obtained.
