The Principles of Cause

Cause is after one manner said to be that from which being inherent something is produced. But after another manner cause is form and paradigm, and this is the definition of the essence of a thing. Further still cause is that when the first principle of mutation or rest is derived. The modes of causes however are many in number, but they will be fewer when collected into a sum. Those also are predicated as accidents, and the genera of these happen to be polycluary because it happens to be likewise Polyclitis.
