THEOREM 12.

Everything which is moved, is moved by something.

_Demonstration._—Let A be that which is moved, I say that A is moved by

something: for it is either moved according or contrary to nature. If,

therefore, it is moved according to nature, that which moves is nature;

but, if contrary to nature, that which employs violence moves; for every

motion contrary to nature is violent.
