| Paragraph 1 |
'To come from something' means: |
| Paragraph 2 |
(1) to come from something as from
matter, and this in two senses, either in respect of the highest genus
or in respect of the lowest species; |
| Paragraph 3 |
(2) As from the first moving principle; |
| Paragraph 4 |
(3) From the compound of matter and shape, as the parts
come from the whole, and the verse from the Iliad, and the stones
from the house; |
| Paragraph 5 |
(4) As the form from its part, e.g. man from 'two-footed' and
syllable from 'letter'; |
| Paragraph 6 |
but (5) others are so described if one of these senses
is applicable to a part of that other thing; |
| Paragraph 7 |
(6) It means coming after a
thing in time, e.g. night comes from day and storm from fine weather,
because the one comes after the other. |
