sample: A Substance is a thing which can subsist of it self: as an Angel is a Substance: so also is a Man a Substance, a Horse, a Dog, briefly whatsoever things you see, are Substances: yea many things you cannot see, are Substances; as God, Angels, the Air, the Wind, are all Substances. If it be said, I see Colours, as Whiteness in a Wall, Redness in a Cloud, which are not Substances but Accidents; I answer, When I say all things seen are Substances, I mean not Colours or Figures of things, but the things under those Colours: as the Whiteness of a Wall is not a Substance, but the Wall under that Whiteness. (p. 6)
