On the Will

Latin Etymology
Accio vero Primi non potest esse nec opinionis nec imaginacionis; hec enim accidencia sunt non permanencia. Unde oportet ut eius accio sit sciencie intelligibilis vere. Primus non potest intelligi nisi per exemplum consideracionis anime. provenit inde virtus que discurrit in musculis, et motus cordarum ex quibus sequitur motus membrorum instrumentalium, et sic provenit accio quesita. Sicut cum imaginamur formam linee quam volumus facere et putamus eam debere esse et tunc ex desiderio provenit virtus faciendi illam. Unde moventur virtute desiderii manus et calamus.
