Life is the activity by which eus moves itself or changes and perfects itself all things which have motion are said to live and vice versa. Thus plants animals the mind lives. There are some bodies that seem to live by metaphor they are said to live. Hence the principle and end of of vital vital actions are in a living eus. All vital actions are immanent and vice versa. Life is threefold: vegetative sensitive and intellectual. Vegetative is divided into three functions trition augmentation and generation and is common to plant-brute and man, sensitive into relation which is subdivided into faculty of knowledge and desire and contractility, and is common to brute & man, Intellectual into acts of intellect and will and is common to man alone.

Hence we say the soul is a simple and spiritual substance.
