English → Pt CHAPTER II. OF IMAGINATION Level 9/10

When a Body is once in motion, it moveth (unless something els hinder it) eternally; and whatsoever hindreth it, cannot in an instant, but in time, and by degrees quite extinguish it:

Quando um Corpo está uma vez em movimento, ele se move (a menos que algo o impeça) eternamente; e tudo aquilo que o impede não pode extingui-lo num instante, mas sim com o tempo e gradualmente:

And as wee see in the water, though the wind cease, the waves give not over rowling for a long time after;

E assim como vemos na água, embora o vento cesse, as ondas não param de rolar por muito tempo depois;

so also it happeneth in that motion, which is made in the internall parts of a man, then, when he Sees, Dreams, &c.

assim também acontece com aquele movimento que se produz nas partes internas de um homem, quando ele Vê, Sonha, etc.

For after the object is removed, or the eye shut, wee still retain an image of the thing seen, though more obscure than when we see it.

Pois após o objeto ser removido, ou o olho fechado, ainda retemos uma imagem da coisa vista, embora mais obscura do que quando a vemos.

And this is it, that Latines call Imagination, from the image made in seeing; and apply the same, though improperly, to all the other senses.

E é isto que os Latinos chamam de Imaginação, a partir da imagem produzida na visão; e aplicam o mesmo, embora de forma imprópria, a todos os outros sentidos.

But the Greeks call it Fancy; which signifies Apparence, and is as proper to one sense, as to another.

Mas os Gregos chamam-lhe Fantasia; que significa Aparência, e é tão própria a um sentido como a outro.

Imagination therefore is nothing but Decaying Sense; and is found in men, and many other living Creatures, as well sleeping, as waking.

A Imaginação portanto não é nada mais do que Sentido em Declínio; e é encontrada nos homens, e em muitas outras Criaturas vivas, tanto dormindo quanto acordadas.

Memory

Memória

The decay of Sense in men waking, is not the decay of the motion made in sense; but an obscuring of it, in such manner, as the light of the Sun obscureth the light of the Starres;

O declínio do Sentido nos homens acordados não é o declínio do movimento produzido no sentido; mas um obscurecimento do mesmo, de tal maneira que a luz do Sol obscurece a luz das Estrelas;

which starrs do no less exercise their vertue by which they are visible, in the day, than in the night.

as quais não exercem menos a sua virtude pela qual são visíveis, durante o dia, do que durante a noite.
