find_v that_o the_o theorist_n make_v any_o mention_n of_o these_o crack_n for_o that_o purpose_n the_o only_a question_n be_v whither_o the_o heat_n of_o the_o sun_n can_v reach_v so_o low_a as_o the_o abyss_n when_o the_o earth_n be_v dry_v and_o its_o pore_n enlarge_v here_o he_o be_v mistake_v this_o be_v not_o the_o only_a question_n for_o there_o be_v another_o material_a one_o beside_o viz._n that_o suppose_v the_o heat_n of_o the_o sun_n have_v reach_v the_o abyss_n whether_o there_o can_v have_v be_v vapour_n enough_o extract_v from_o it_o to_o furnish_v the_o earth_n and_o i_o think_v i_o have_v prove_v that_o there_o can_v not_o but_o it_o seem_v he_o will_v not_o allow_v of_o the_o calculation_n because_o it_o suppose_v that_o the_o sun_n act_v through_o large_a crack_n fissure_v and_o chap_n which_o he_o say_v the_o theorist_n do_v not_o mention_v for_o any_o such_o purpose_n but_o he_o will_v have_v the_o sun_n to_o have_v act_v only_o through_o the_o pore_n of_o the_o earth_n well_o let_v we_o grant_v his_o supposition_n that_o the_o sun_n do_v not_o act_v through_o large_a crack_n and_o fissure_v which_o i_o think_v will_v best_o serve_v his_o design_n but_o only_o through_o the_o pore_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o we_o will_v see_v how_o much_o the_o theorist_n will_v gain_v by_o it_o i_o be_o accuse_v of_o deal_v unfair_o with_o the_o theorist_n when_o i_o make_v he_o suppose_v that_o mountain_n make_v way_n for_o the_o motion_n and_o dilatation_n of_o vapour_n if_o this_o be_v unfair_a deal_n i_o can_v tell_v what_o will_v be_v fair_a for_o the_o theorist_n himself_o have_v express_o say_v so_o in_o his_o book_n 11._o chap._n 5._o parag._n 4._o of_o the_o english_a theory_n where_o speak_v of_o the_o north_n and_o south_n part_n of_o the_o world_n which_o he_o say_v draw_v the_o vapour_n to_o they_o his_o word_n be_v these_o the_o cold_a of_o those_o part_n attract_v they_o as_o we_o call_v it_o that_o be_v make_v way_n to_o their_o motion_n and_o dilatation_n without_o resistance_n as_o mountain_n and_o cold_a place_n usual_o draw_v vapour_n from_o the_o warm_a though_o i_o quote_v these_o word_n in_o the_o examination_n yet_o the_o defender_n assure_v we_o that_o the_o theorist_n suppose_v no_o such_o thing_n it_o seem_v then_o that_o he_o can_v say_v one_o thing_n and_o suppose_v another_o if_o so_o i_o wish_v the_o defender_n will_v give_v we_o two_o catalogue_n one_o of_o those_o thing_n which_o he_o say_v and_o suppose_v to_o be_v true_a and_o another_o of_o those_o thing_n he_o say_v without_o suppose_v they_o to_o be_v true_a i_o hope_v in_o this_o last_o we_o shall_v find_v what_o be_v say_v in_o the_o seven_o 8_o and_o 9th_o chapter_n of_o the_o archaeologiae_fw-la concern_v the_o moysaicall_a account_n of_o the_o formation_n of_o the_o world_n its_o primitive_a state_n and_o the_o fall_v of_o man._n our_o next_o dispute_n be_v about_o the_o course_n of_o the_o vapour_n the_o theorist_n assert_v that_o it_o will_v be_v towards_o north_n and_o south_n now_o i_o prove_v that_o it_o will_v be_v from_o east_n to_o west_n because_o i_o demonstrate_v that_o there_o must_v be_v a_o continual_a wind_n blow_v that_o way_n in_o a_o earth_n where_o there_o be_v no_o mountain_n to_o change_v the_o direction_n of_o the_o wind_n just_a as_o it_o be_v now_o in_o the_o atlantic_a and_o pacisick_n ocean_n and_o see_v the_o vapour_n swim_v in_o a_o air_n of_o the_o same_o intensive_a gravity_n with_o themselves_o it_o be_v demonstrable_a that_o they_o must_v follow_v the_o motion_n of_o that_o air_n and_o be_v likewise_o carry_v from_o east_n to_o west_n the_o defender_n grant_v that_o their_o motion_n will_v be_v at_o first_o that_o way_n but_o say_v he_o the_o question_n here_o be_v where_o they_o will_v be_v condense_v or_o where_o they_o will_v fall_v i_o think_v it_o do_v not_o signify_v any_o thing_n where_o they_o fall_v for_o i_o be_o sure_a they_o will_v not_o fall_v or_o be_v condense_v in_o a_o place_n to_o which_o they_o be_v never_o carry_v that_o be_v towards_o either_o of_o the_o pole_n the_o theorist_n be_v of_o the_o opinion_n that_o the_o cold_a in_o the_o north_n and_o south_n part_v attract_v the_o vapour_n thither_o that_o be_v as_o he_o explain_v it_o make_v way_n for_o their_o motion_n and_o dilatation_n but_o because_o i_o show_v that_o this_o method_n savour_v a_o little_a of_o absurdity_n our_o theory-mender_n say_v that_o the_o vapour_n be_v divert_v towards_o north_n and_o south_n by_o a_o impulse_n of_o new_a vapour_n this_o opinion_n seem_v to_o i_o to_o be_v as_o unnatural_a as_o the_o other_o for_o if_o the_o vapour_n be_v crowd_v on_o one_o another_o by_o their_o mutual_a impulse_n they_o will_v condense_a one_o another_o and_o fall_v down_o in_o the_o place_n where_o they_o be_v crowd_v i_o be_o sure_a it_o be_v impossible_a that_o a_o atom_n of_o vapour_n however_o impel_v shall_v make_v its_o way_n through_o a_o atmosphere_n of_o the_o same_o gravity_n with_o its_o self_n for_o some_o thousand_o of_o mile_n towards_o either_o of_o the_o pole_n when_o a_o stone_n which_o have_v some_o thousand_o time_n more_o density_n than_o vapour_n and_o consequent_o some_o thousand_o of_o time_n also_o more_o force_n to_o break_v the_o resistance_n of_o the_o medium_n if_o it_o be_v to_o move_v to_o eternity_n in_o the_o air_n yet_o it_o will_v never_o make_v any_o considerable_a way_n in_o the_o medium_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o continual_a loss_n of_o its_o motion_n it_o seem_v to_o contradict_v our_o sense_n to_o suppose_v that_o vapour_n can_v move_v through_o the_o air_n without_o suffer_v such_o a_o resistance_n as_o must_v condense_a they_o we_o observe_v that_o those_o vapour_n which_o be_v in_o the_o cloud_n when_o the_o air_n grow_v light_a begin_v to_o fall_v no_o doubt_n in_o the_o form_n of_o vapour_n but_o afterward_o suffer_v a_o considerable_a resistance_n from_o the_o air_n they_o be_v condense_v into_o drop_n of_o rain_n if_o then_o the_o resistance_n the_o vapour_n meet_v with_o for_o so_o small_a a_o way_n be_v sufficient_a to_o condense_a they_o be_v it_o not_o natural_o impossible_a that_o they_o shall_v travel_v some_o thousand_o of_o miles_n and_o not_o be_v condense_v till_o they_o arrive_v at_o the_o pole_n our_o author_n proceed_v in_o the_o next_o place_n to_o consider_v the_o seven_o chapter_n of_o the_o examination_n and_o answer_v the_o argument_n that_o be_v bring_v against_o the_o theorist_n way_n of_o make_v a_o deluge_n it_o be_v suppose_v in_o the_o theory_n that_o after_o some_o age_n the_o heat_n of_o the_o sun_n must_v have_v pierce_v through_o the_o crust_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o reach_v the_o abyss_n where_o it_o must_v have_v rarify_v the_o water_n there_o and_o raise_v a_o immense_a quantity_n of_o they_o into_o vapour_n these_o endeavour_v to_o expand_v themselves_o and_o the_o pore_n of_o the_o earth_n not_o be_v sufficient_a to_o let_v they_o pass_v through_o will_v press_v upon_o the_o crust_n and_o break_v it_o into_o piece_n so_o that_o its_o fall_n upon_o the_o abyss_n will_v produce_v a_o universal_a deluge_n against_o this_o i_o object_v that_o it_o be_v impossible_a the_o heat_n of_o the_o sun_n can_v reach_v far_o into_o the_o earth_n so_o as_o to_o perform_v any_o considerable_a effect_n since_o by_o observation_n it_o be_v find_v that_o in_o cave_n and_o vault_n there_o be_v not_o any_o sensible_a alteration_n of_o heat_n in_o summer_n and_o winter_n and_o therefore_o see_v that_o the_o heat_n of_o the_o sun_n have_v so_o little_a effect_n in_o place_n of_o the_o earth_n that_o be_v so_o near_o its_o surface_n how_o can_v any_o one_o imagine_v that_o it_o will_v have_v any_o upon_o the_o abyss_n which_o be_v cover_v over_o with_o a_o thick_a crust_n but_o because_o this_o argument_n be_v propose_v in_o general_a term_n i_o endeavour_v to_o bring_v it_o to_o calculation_n in_o order_n to_o which_o i_o assume_v one_o postulatum_fw-la viz._n that_o few_o ray_n of_o heat_n pass_v to_o the_o abyss_n through_o the_o crust_n than_o if_o it_o have_v be_v compose_v of_o several_a surface_n at_o some_o considerable_a distance_n from_o one_o another_o suppose_n 10.20_o or_o 30._o foot_n every_o one_o of_o which_o reflect_v half_o the_o ray_n which_o fall_v upon_o they_o and_o transmit_v the_o other_o half_a '_o this_o i_o think_v be_v a_o postulatum_fw-la which_o every_o body_n will_v have_v grant_v and_o if_o we_o consider_v how_o much_o of_o the_o sun_n light_n and_o heat_n be_v diminish_v by_o a_o thin_a cloud_n of_o vapour_n place_v between_o it_o and_o we_o and_o how_o much_o light_n be_v reflect_v by_o the_o common_a air_n when_o it_o pass_v through_o it_o we_o can_v but_o own_o that_o the_o diminution_n of_o heat_n in_o
