a_o adversary_n to_o interspersed_a vacuity_n by_o compare_v what_o he_o maintain_v in_o his_o dialogue_n de_fw-fr vacuo_fw-la with_o some_o thing_n that_o he_o teach_v especial_o concern_v god_n

that_o there_o be_v a_o god_n and_o own_v he_o to_o be_v the_o creator_n of_o the_o world_n and_o since_o on_o the_o other_o side_n the_o penetration_n of_o dimension_n be_v confess_v to_o be_v impossible_a and_o he_o deny_v that_o there_o be_v any_o vacuum_n in_o the_o universe_n it_o seem_v difficult_a to_o conceive_v how_o in_o a_o world_n that_o be_v already_o perfect_o full_a of_o

work_n as_o if_o it_o teach_v we_o rather_o to_o degrade_v than_o admire_v their_o author_n it_o seem_v not_o amiss_o to_o hint_n in_o transitu_fw-la that_o mr._n hobbes_n gross_a conteption_n of_o a_o corporeal_a god_n be_v not_o only_o unwarrant_v by_o find_v philosophy_n but_o ill_o befriend_v even_o by_o his_o own_o my_o adversary_n have_v propose_v his_o problem_n by_o way_n of_o dialogue_n between_o a._n and_o b_o it_o will_v not_o i_o presume_v be_v wonder_v at_o that_o i_o have_v give_v the_o same_o form_n to_o my_o animadversion_n which_o come_v forth_o no_o early_o because_o i_o

short_a my_o animadversion_n shall_v take_v up_o so_o much_o room_n it_o will_v be_v requisite_a that_o i_o here_o give_v a_o account_n of_o the_o bulk_n of_o this_o treatise_n and_o first_o have_v find_v that_o there_o be_v not_o any_o one_o problem_n in_o who_o explication_n as_o propose_v by_o mr._n hobbes_n i_o see_v cause_n to_o acquiesce_v i_o be_v induce_v for_o the_o reader_n ease_v and_o that_o i_o may_v be_v sure_a to_o do_v my_o adversary_n no_o wrong_n to_o transcribe_v his_o whole_a dialogue_n bate_v some_o few_o transition_n and_o other_o clause_n not_o needful_a to_o be_v transfer_v hither_o etc._n next_o i_o be_v not_o willing_a to_o imitate_v mr._n hobbes_n who_o recite_v in_o the_o dialogue_n we_o be_v consider_v the_o same_o experiment_n that_o he_o have_v already_o mention_v in_o his_o tract_n de_fw-fr natura_fw-la aeris_fw-la without_o add_v as_o his_o own_o that_o i_o remember_v any_o new_a one_o to_o they_o but_o my_o unwillingness_n to_o tire_v the_o reader_n with_o bare_a repetition_n of_o the_o argument_n i_o employ_v in_o my_o examen_fw-la of_o that_o tract_n invite_v i_o to_o endeavour_v to_o make_v he_o some_o amends_o for_o the_o exercise_n of_o his_o patience_n by_o insert_v as_o occasion_n be_v offer_v five_o or_o six_o new_a experiment_n that_o will_v not_o perhaps_o be_v so_o easy_o make_v by_o every_o reader_n that_o will_v be_v able_a now_o that_o i_o have_v perspicuous_o propose_v they_o to_o understand_v they_o and_o last_o since_o mr._n hobbes_n have_v not_o be_v content_a to_o magnify_v himself_o and_o his_o way_n of_o treat_v of_o physical_a matter_n but_o have_v be_v please_v to_o speak_v very_o slight_o of_o experimentarian_a philosopher_n as_o he_o style_v they_o in_o general_a and_o which_o be_v worse_o to_o disparage_v the_o make_n of_o elaborate_a experiment_n i_o judge_v the_o thing_n he_o seem_v to_o aim_v at_o so_o prejudicial_a to_o true_a and_o useful_a philosophy_n that_o i_o think_v it_o may_v do_v some_o service_n to_o the_o less_o know_v and_o less_o wary_a sort_n of_o reader_n if_o i_o try_v to_o make_v his_o own_o explication_n enervate_a his_o authority_n and_o by_o a_o somewhat_o particular_a examen_fw-la of_o the_o solution_n he_o have_v give_v of_o the_o problem_n i_o be_o concern_v in_o show_v that_o it_o be_v much_o more_o easy_a to_o undervalue_v a_o frequent_a recourse_n to_o experiment_n than_o true_o to_o explicate_v the_o phaenomena_n of_o nature_n without_o they_o and_o since_o our_o author_n speak_v of_o his_o problemata_fw-la physica_fw-la which_o be_v but_o a_o small_a book_n scruple_n not_o to_o tell_v his_o majesty_n to_o who_o he_o dedicate_v they_o that_o he_o have_v therein_o comprise_v to_o speak_v in_o his_o own_o term_n the_o great_a and_o most_o probable_a part_n of_o his_o physical_a meditation_n and_o since_o by_o the_o alteration_n he_o have_v make_v in_o what_o he_o former_o write_v about_o the_o phaenomena_n of_o my_o
