of_o that_o degree_n of_o density_n out_o of_o which_o two_o be_v manifest_o infer_v that_o if_o two_o hard_a thing_n shall_v come_v to_o touch_v they_o must_v needs_o be_v more_o difficult_o

when_o a_o stone_n lie_v upon_o a_o stone_n must_v of_o necessity_n be_v either_o plain_a or_o concave_a or_o convex_v now_o if_o a_o plain_a superficies_n shall_v be_v suppose_v to_o touch_v another_o plain_a one_o come_v perpendicular_o to_o it_o it_o must_v of_o necessity_n be_v grant_v to_o touch_v it_o as_o soon_o in_o the_o middle_a as_o on_o the_o side_n wherefore_o if_o there_o be_v any_o air_n as_o of_o necessity_n there_o must_v be_v betwixt_o the_o two_o surface_n before_o they_o touch_v it_o will_v follow_v that_o the_o air_n which_o be_v in_o the_o middle_n must_v have_v flee_v quite_o out_o from_o between_o the_o two_o surface_n as_o soon_o as_o any_o part_n of_o the_o surface_v touch_v that_o be_v as_o soon_o as_o the_o air_n which_o be_v between_o the_o

surface_n it_o touch_v it_o only_o by_o a_o line_n as_o mathematician_n demonstrate_v or_o a_o point_n but_o to_o touch_v by_o a_o line_n or_o a_o point_n be_v in_o truth_n not_o to_o touch_v by_o the_o form_n or_o motion_n of_o quantity_n which_o require_v divisibility_n in_o all_o that_o belong_v to_o it_o and_o by_o consequence_n among_o body_n it_o be_v not-to-touch_a and_o so_o one_o such_o surface_n do_v not_o touch_v the_o other_o now_o for_o a_o plain_a surface_n to_o touch_v a_o concave_n every_o man_n see_v be_v impossible_a likewise_o for_o two_o convex_a surface_n to_o

surface_n shall_v be_v say_v to_o touch_v a_o concave_n they_o must_v touch_v all_o at_o once_o as_o we_o say_v of_o plain_a surface_n and_o therefore_o the_o same_o impossibility_n will_v arise_v therein_o so_o that_o it_o be_v evident_a no_o two_o surface_n move_v perpendicular_o towards_o one_o another_o can_v come_v to_o touch_v one_o another_o if_o neither_o of_o they_o yield_v and_o

no_o air_n between_o they_o they_o must_v present_o become_v one_o quantity_n or_o body_n as_o we_o have_v declare_v and_o must_v stick_v firm_o together_o according_a to_o their_o degree_n of_o

mundo_fw-la as_o we_o have_v former_o allege_v be_v demonstrate_v impossible_a there_o remain_v only_o a_o three_o way_n for_o two_o hard_a surface_n to_o come_v together_o which_o be_v that_o first_o they_o shall_v rest_v slope_v one_o upon_o another_o and_o make_v a_o angle_n where_o they_o meet_v as_o two_o line_n that_o cut_v one_o another_o do_v in_o the_o point_n of_o their_o intersection_n and_o so_o contain_v as_o it_o be_v a_o wedge_n of_o air_n between_o they_o which_o wedge_n they_o shall_v lessen_v by_o little_a and_o little_a through_o their_o move_n towards_o one_o another_o at_o their_o most_o distant_a edge_n while_o the_o touch_v edge_n be_v like_o immovable_a centre_n that_o the_o other_o turn_v upon_o till_o at_o length_n they_o shut_v out_o all_o the_o air_n and_o close_o together_o like_o the_o two_o leg_n of_o a_o compass_n but_o neither_o be_v it_o possible_a that_o this_o way_n they_o shall_v touch_v for_o after_o their_o first_o touch_n by_o one_o line_n which_o neither_o be_v in_o effect_n a_o touch_v as_o we_o have_v show_v no_o other_o part_n of_o they_o can_v touch_v though_o still_o they_o approach_v near_o and_o near_o till_o their_o whole_a surface_n entire_o touch_v at_o once_o and_o therefore_o the_o air_n must_v in_o this_o case_n leap_v out_o in_o a_o instant_n a_o great_a space_n then_o if_o the_o surface_n come_v perpendicular_o to_o one_o another_o for_o here_o it_o must_v fly_v from_o one_o extremity_n to_o the_o other_o whereas_o in_o the_o former_a case_n it_o be_v to_o go_v but_o from_o the_o middle_n to_o each_o side_n and_o thus_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o no_o two_o body_n can_v arrive_v to_o touch_v one_o another_o unless_o one_o of_o they_o at_o the_o least_o have_v a_o superficies_n pliable_a to_o the_o

liquidity_n be_v the_o cause_n and_o mean_n whereby_o body_n arrive_v to_o touch_v we_o may_v bold_o conclude_v that_o two_o liquid_a body_n most_o easy_o and_o ready_o become_v one_o and_o next_o to_o two_o such_o a_o liquid_a and_o a_o hard_a body_n be_v soon_o unite_v but_o two_o hard_a one_o most_o difficult_o to_o proceed_v then_o with_o our_o reflection_n upon_o the_o composition_n general_n of_o body_n and_o upon_o what_o result_v out_o of_o the_o join_n and_o mixture_n of_o their_o first_o difference_n rarity_n and_o density_n we_o see_v how_o if_o a_o liquid_a substance_n happen_v to_o touch_v a_o dry_a body_n it_o stick_v easy_o thereto_o then_o consider_v there_o may_v be_v so_o small_a a_o quantity_n of_o such_o a_o liquid_a body_n as_o it_o may_v be_v almost_o

and_o stick_v to_o they_o both_o become_v like_o a_o glue_v to_o hold_v they_o together_o will_v it_o not_o follow_v out_o of_o what_o we_o have_v say_v that_o these_o two_o dense_a part_n will_v be_v

it_o may_v be_v light_a in_o the_o bulk_n than_o water_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o great_a pore_n cause_v in_o it_o through_o the_o shrink_n up_o of_o the_o part_n of_o water_n together_o which_o

that_o his_o last_o argument_n ground_v upon_o the_o the_o swim_n of_o ice_n in_o water_n have_v no_o more_o force_n then_o if_o he_o will_v prove_v that_o a_o iron_n or_o earthen_a dish_n be_v

than_o it_o be_v alone_o and_o according_o we_o see_v that_o ice_n half_o thaw_v for_o then_o much_o of_o the_o air_n be_v drive_v out_o and_o the_o water_n begin_v to_o fill_v the_o pore_n wherein_o

and_o thus_o you_o see_v three_o root_n of_o three_o divers_a plant_n all_o in_o the_o same_o plant_n proceed_v by_o natural_a resolution_n from_o one_o primitive_a source_n whereof_o that_o which_o

the_o oily_a part_n be_v fit_a for_o the_o continuance_n and_o solidity_n of_o the_o plant_n for_o we_o see_v that_o viscuosity_n and_o oiliness_n hold_v together_o the_o part_n where_o they_o

the_o proportion_n of_o that_o substance_n to_o its_o quantity_n be_v great_a and_o that_o in_o the_o former_a it_o be_v less_o though_o the_o substance_n in_o itself_o be_v indivisible_a what_o we_o

of_o one_o and_o the_o same_o degree_n of_o rarity_n and_o density_n let_v that_o degree_n be_v the_o degree_n of_o water_n it_o will_v then_o follow_v that_o in_o what_o part_n soever_o there_o

which_o be_v find_v in_o earth_n or_o in_o gold_n than_o it_o will_v have_v less_o quantity_n in_o proportion_n to_o its_o substance_n then_o will_v be_v due_a to_o it_o according_a to_o the_o

we_o may_v first_o consider_v that_o the_o definition_n which_o aristotle_n have_v give_v we_o of_o rarity_n and_o density_n be_v the_o same_o we_o drive_v at_o he_o tell_v we_o that_o that_o body_n be_v rare_a who_o quantity_n be_v more_o and_o its_o substance_n less_o that_o contrariwise_o dense_n where_o the_o substance_n be_v more_o and_o the_o quantity_n less_o now_o if_o we_o look_v into_o the_o propriety_n of_o the_o body_n we_o have_v name_v or_o of_o any_o other_o we_o shall_v see_v they_o all_o follow_v clear_o out_o of_o these_o definition_n for_o first_o that_o one_o be_v more_o diffuse_v another_o more_o compact_a such_o diffusion_n and_o compaction_n seem_v to_o be_v the_o very_a nature_n of_o rarity_n and_o density_n suppose_v they_o to_o be_v such_o as_o we_o have_v define_v they_o to_o be_v since_o substance_n be_v more_o diffuse_v by_o have_v more_o part_n or_o by_o be_v in_o more_o part_n and_o be_v more_o compact_a by_o the_o contrary_n and_o then_o that_o rare_a body_n be_v more_o divisible_a than_o dense_a one_o you_o see_v be_v coincident_a into_o the_o same_o conceit_n with_o their_o diffusion_n and_o compaction_n and_o from_o hence_o again_o it_o follow_v that_o they_o be_v more_o easy_o both_o divide_v into_o great_a and_o by_o the_o force_n of_o natural_a agent_n divisible_a into_o lesser_a part_n for_o both_o these_o that_o be_v facility_n of_o be_v divide_v and_o easy_a divisibility_n into_o lesser_a part_n be_v contain_v in_o be_v more_o divisible_a or_o in_o more_o enjoy_v the_o effect_n of_o quantity_n which_o be_v divisibility_n from_o this_o again_o follow_v that_o in_o rare_a body_n there_o be_v less_o resistance_n to_o the_o motion_n of_o another_o body_n through_o it_o than_o in_o dense_a one_o and_o therefore_o a_o like_a force_n pass_v more_o easy_o through_o the_o one_o than_o through_o the_o other_o again_o rare_a body_n be_v more_o penetrative_a and_o active_a than_o dense_a one_o because_o be_v by_o their_o overproportion_n of_o quantity_n easy_o divisible_a into_o small_a part_n they_o can_v run_v into_o every_o little_a poor_a and_o so_o incorporate_v themselves_o better_a into_o other_o body_n than_o more_o dense_a one_o can_v light_a body_n likewise_o must_v be_v rare_a because_o most_o divisible_a if_o other_o circumstance_n concur_v equal_o thus_o you_o see_v decipher_v to_o your_o hand_n the_o first_o division_n of_o body_n flow_v from_o quantity_n as_o it_o be_v ordain_v to_o substance_n for_o the_o composition_n of_o a_o body_n for_o since_o the_o definition_n of_o a_o body_n be_v a_o

first_o difference_n of_o have_v part_n be_v to_o have_v big_a or_o less_o more_o or_o few_o what_o division_n of_o a_o body_n can_v be_v more_o simple_a more_o plain_a or_o more_o immediate_a than_o to_o divide_v it_o by_o its_o quantity_n as_o make_v it_o have_v big_a or_o less_o more_o or_o few_o part_n in_o proportion_n to_o its_o substance_n neither_o can_v i_o just_o be_v blame_v for_o touch_v thus_o on_o metaphysic_n to_o explicate_v the_o nature_n of_o these_o two_o kind_n of_o body_n for_o metaphysic_n be_v the_o science_n above_o physics_n it_o belong_v to_o she_o to_o declare_v the_o principle_n of_o physics_n of_o which_o these_o we_o have_v now_o in_o hand_n be_v the_o very_a first_o step_n but_o much_o more_o if_o we_o consider_v that_o the_o composition_n of_o quantity_n with_o substance_n be_v pure_o metaphysical_a we_o must_v necessary_o allow_v the_o inquiry_n into_o the_o nature_n of_o rarity_n and_o density_n to_o be_v whole_o metaphysical_a since_o

yet_o it_o be_v not_o my_o intention_n to_o affirm_v that_o those_o which_o we_o ordinary_a call_v so_o and_o fall_v daily_o within_o our_o use_n be_v such_o as_o i_o have_v here_o express_v they_o

through_o which_o it_o pass_v in_o they_o therefore_o and_o in_o nothing_o else_o we_o be_v to_o make_v our_o enquiry_n to_o begin_v then_o we_o may_v observe_v that_o light_n pass_v through_o a_o

one_o side_n of_o the_o glass_n and_o come_v out_o at_o the_o other_o when_o colour_n proceed_v from_o such_o a_o percussion_n to_o this_o than_o we_o must_v whole_o apply_v ourselves_o and_o know_v that_o general_o when_o light_n fall_v upon_o a_o body_n with_o so_o great_a a_o slope_v or_o inclination_n so_o much_o of_o it_o as_o get_v through_o must_v needs_o be_v weak_a and_o much_o diffuse_v it_o follow_v that_o the_o reason_n of_o such_o colour_n must_v necessary_o consist_v in_o this_o diffusion_n and_o weakness_n of_o light_n which_o the_o more_o it_o be_v diffuse_v the_o weak_a it_o

of_o the_o glass_n till_o remove_v it_o far_o off_o the_o colour_n begin_v to_o show_v themselves_o upon_o the_o edge_n thereby_o convince_a manifest_o that_o it_o be_v the_o excess_n of_o light_n which_o hinder_v they_o from_o appear_v at_o the_o first_o and_o in_o like_a manner_n if_o you_o put_v a_o burn_a glass_n between_o the_o light_n and_o the_o prism_n so_o as_o to_o multiply_v the_o light_n which_o go_v through_o the_o prism_n to_o the_o paper_n you_o destroy_v much_o of_o the_o colour_n by_o convert_v it_o into_o light_n but_o on_o the_o otherside_n if_o you_o thicken_v the_o air_n and_o make_v it_o dusky_a with_o smoke_n or_o dust_n you_o will_v plain_o see_v that_o where_o the_o light_n come_v through_o a_o convex_a glass_n perpendicular_o oppose_v to_o the_o

thus_o you_o have_v the_o true_a and_o adequate_a cause_n of_o the_o appearance_n of_o such_o colour_n now_o to_o understand_v what_o colour_n and_o upon_o which_o side_n will_v prism_n appear_v we_o may_v consider_v that_o when_o light_n pass_v through_o a_o glass_n or_o other_o diaphanous_a body_n so_o much_o of_o it_o as_o shine_v in_o the_o air_n or_o upon_o some_o reflect_a body_n big_a than_o itself_o after_o its_o passage_n through_o the_o glass_n must_v of_o necessity_n have_v darkness_n on_o both_o side_n of_o it_o and_o so_o be_v comprise_v and_o limit_v by_o two_o darkness_n but_o if_o some_o opacous_a body_n less_o than_o the_o light_n be_v put_v in_o the_o way_n of_o the_o light_n than_o it_o may_v happen_v contrariwise_o that_o there_o be_v darkness_n or_o the_o shadow_n of_o that_o opacous_a body_n between_o two_o light_n again_o we_o must_v consider_v that_o when_o light_n fall_v so_o upon_o a_o prism_n as_o to_o make_v colour_n the_o two_o outward_a ray_n which_o proceed_v from_o the_o light_n to_o the_o two_o side_n of_o the_o superficies_n at_o which_o the_o light_n enter_v be_v so_o refract_v that_o at_o their_o come_n out_o again_o through_o the_o other_o superficies_n that_o ray_n which_o make_v the_o less_o angle_n with_o the_o outward_a superficies_n of_o the_o glass_n go_v in_o make_v the_o great_a angle_n with_o the_o outside_n of_o the_o other_o superficies_n come_v out_o and_o contrariwise_o that_o ray_n which_o make_v the_o great_a angle_n go_v in_o make_v the_o lesser_a at_o its_o come_n out_o and_o the_o two_o internal_a angle_n make_v by_o those_o two_o ray_n and_o the_o outside_n of_o the_o superficies_n they_o issue_v at_o be_v great_a than_o two_o right_a angle_n and_o so_o we_o see_v that_o the_o light_n dilate_v itself_o at_o its_o come_n out_o now_o because_o ray_n that_o issue_n through_o a_o superficies_n the_o near_o they_o be_v to_o be_v perpendicular_o to_o that_o superficies_n so_o much_o the_o thick_a they_o be_v it_o follow_v that_o this_o dilation_n of_o light_n at_o its_o come_n out_o of_o the_o glass_n must_v be_v make_v and_o increase_v from_o that_o side_n where_o the_o angle_n be_v least_o at_o the_o go_n in_o and_o great_a at_o the_o come_n out_o so_o that_o the_o near_a to_o the_o contrary_a side_n you_o take_v a_o part_n of_o light_n the_o thin_a the_o light_n must_v be_v there_o and_o contrariwise_o the_o thick_a it_o must_v be_v the_o near_a it_o be_v to_o the_o side_n where_o the_o angle_n at_o the_o ray_n come_v out_o be_v the_o great_a wherefore_o the_o strong_a light_n that_o be_v the_o place_n where_o the_o light_n be_v least_o mix_v with_o darkness_n must_v be_v near_a that_o side_n than_o the_o other_o consequent_o hereto_o if_o by_o a_o opacous_a body_n you_o make_v a_o shadow_n comprehend_v within_o this_o light_n that_o shadow_n must_v also_o have_v its_o strong_a part_n near_a to_o one_o of_o the_o light_n betwixt_o which_o it_o be_v comprise_v then_o to_o the_o other_o for_o shadow_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o the_o want_n of_o light_n hinder_v by_o some_o opacous_a body_n it_o must_v of_o necessity_n lie_v averse_v from_o the_o illuminant_fw-la just_a as_o the_o light_n will_v have_v lie_v if_o it_o have_v not_o be_v hinder_v wherefore_o see_v that_o the_o strong_a side_n of_o light_n more_o impeache_n the_o darkness_n than_o the_o feeble_a
