We must begin our examination with movement.

Some say that the soul moves (or can moving) itself.

But I think this is wrong and that the soul cannot have movement.

The knowledge of the soul is more precious than other knowledge, as it contributes greatly to:

The body is compounded out of contraries.

Harmony, however, is a certain proportion or composition of the constituents blended.
