Daughters of London, you which bee Our Golden Mines, and furnish'd Treasurie, 15 You which are Angels, yet still bring with you Thousands of Angels on your mariage daies, Help with your presence and devise to praise These rites, which also unto you grow due; Conceitedly dresse her, and be assign'd, 20 By you, fit place for every flower and jewell, Make her for love fit fewell As gay as Flora, and as rich as Inde; So may shee faire, rich, glad, and in nothing lame, To day put on perfection, and a womans name .

Hence the tendency of the scholastic commentators of Aristotle to use the term “ form ” as synonymous with the term “ nature, ” though the whole nature of the corporeal substance embraces the material as well as the formal principle: for even though it does, we can understand nothing about this “ nature ” beyond what is intelligible in it in virtue of its “ form. ”

The bill or manifest accompanying the merchandise and the unbroken seal on the car may furnish prima facie evidence that the amount and kind of merchandise named in the manifest and said to be contained in the car came from a port in the United States, but certainly it was not intended that the merchandise should go to the owner without an official ascertainment of the correspondence between the bill and the actual contents of the car.
