OF LIFE.

13. (7) The word "body" is not the only one that may be taken in

different senses; such is also the case with "life." There is a

of intelligence, and of super-intelligence. Indeed, intelligible

entities are alive though the things that proceed therefrom do not

possess a life similar to theirs.
