A46979	An essay concerning a vacuum Wherein is endeavoured to be demonstrated, that a vacuum interspersum runs through the world, and is more or less in all bodies. By a lover of the corpuscular philosophy.	Jackson, Joseph, fl. 1695-	1697 (1697)	Wing J85A; ESTC R219986	17,337	61

and_o to_o make_v all_o body_n equal_o full_a it_o will_v follow_v that_o a_o cube_n of_o cork_n together_o with_o its_o include_v ether_n must_v be_v as_o full_a of_o matter_n as_o a_o cube_n of_o lead_n of_o the_o same_o dimension_n and_o consequent_o must_v have_v equal_a solidity_n and_o closeness_n of_o part_n which_o will_v of_o necessity_n infer_v equal_a weight_n upon_o the_o scale_n there_o be_v no_o reason_n in_o the_o world_n why_o two_o body_n of_o equal_a solidity_n and_o compactness_n shall_v not_o have_v the_o same_o specific_a gravity_n but_o now_o if_o lead_v be_v twenty_o time_n heavy_a than_o cork_n which_o be_v the_o least_o it_o must_v contain_v twenty_o time_n the_o quantity_n of_o matter_n that_o be_v twenty_o substantial_a particle_n for_o one_o and_o the_o dimension_n be_v equal_a it_o must_v follow_v that_o in_o lead_n twenty_o particle_n of_o matter_n be_v contain_v in_o the_o same_o space_n or_o compass_n for_o which_o there_o can_v be_v allow_v but_o one_o particle_n of_o the_o cork_n and_o so_o one_o have_v as_o much_o room_n in_o this_o as_o twenty_o in_o the_o other_o so_o that_o the_o business_n come_v to_o this_o issue_n either_o a_o vacuum_n or_o penetration_n of_o dimension_n for_o if_o one_o particle_n have_v the_o room_n of_o twenty_o then_o either_o these_o twenty_o be_v thrust_v one_o into_o another_o which_o be_v impossible_a or_o else_o that_o one_o be_v place_v at_o a_o distance_n from_o those_o about_o it_o but_o if_o one_o particle_n be_v place_v at_o a_o distance_n from_o another_o then_o be_v

place_n and_o so_o i_o shall_v put_v it_o here_o for_o a_o conclusion_n the_o cartesian_o be_v wont_a to_o urge_v their_o notion_n of_o a_o body_n against_o this_o of_o a_o vacuum_n simple_a extension_n according_a to_o they_o be_v that_o alone_a which_o constitute_v corporeity_n so_o that_o whatsoever_o be_v extend_v in_o length_n breadth_n and_o thickness_n must_v be_v a_o body_n and_o because_o a_o vacuum_n may_v be_v suppose_v to_o have_v these_o dimension_n they_o will_v not_o allow_v of_o any_o such_o thing_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v first_n one_o may_v with_o equal_a if_o not_o far_o great_a reason_n object_n against_o their_o notion_n than_o they_o against_o a_o vacuum_n that_o be_v precarious_a and_o arbitrary_a and_o this_o rest_n upon_o clear_a evidence_n and_o if_o i_o have_v demonstrate_v a_o vacuum_n as_o i_o think_v i_o have_v then_o let_v their_o notion_n of_o simple_a extension_n shift_v for_o itself_o who_o give_v they_o authority_n to_o impose_v upon_o the_o world_n a_o notion_n of_o which_o there_o be_v no_o necessity_n no_o evidence_n a_o vacuum_n be_v necessary_a to_o give_v way_n to_o motion_n since_o a_o close_a constipation_n of_o part_n throughout_o the_o universe_n will_v never_o admit_v of_o it_o and_o then_o it_o be_v evident_a there_o can_v be_v no_o degree_n no_o variety_n of_o rarity_n and_o density_n without_o a_o vacuum_n since_o all_o must_v be_v equal_o dense_a and_o absolute_o full_a as_o have_v be_v show_v and_o as_o it_o be_v necessary_a to_o allow_v a_o vacuum_n within_o the_o world_n so_o much_o more_o to_o admit_v one_o without_o or_o beyond_o it_o otherwise_o matter_n will_v be_v infinite_a and_o if_o so_o i_o know_v not_o why_o it_o may_v not_o as_o well_o be_v eternal_a and_o thus_o at_o last_o we_o shall_v make_v the_o world_n to_o be_v god_n himself_o as_o some_o theist_n be_v say_v to_o do_v now_o let_v the_o plenist_n show_v as_o great_a necessity_n and_o as_o good_a evidence_n for_o simple_a extension_n as_o have_v be_v and_o may_v yet_o further_o be_v show_v for_o a_o vacuum_n and_o it_o will_v deserve_v consideration_n second_o the_o ancient_a corpuscular_a philosophy_n settle_v a_o distinct_a notion_n of_o a_o body_n make_v it_o to_o be_v a_o substance_n impenetrable_o extend_v which_o have_v nothing_o belong_v to_o it_o but_o magnitude_n figure_n texture_n and_o motion_n as_o

cast_v off_o those_o unintelligible_a form_n and_o quality_n of_o the_o aristotelian_o which_o seem_v to_o be_v so_o many_o spirit_n possess_v as_o it_o be_v those_o body_n to_o which_o they_o be_v say_v to_o belong_v it_o show_v how_o far_o body_n can_v go_v and_o where_o incorporeal_a substance_n begin_v second_o it_o distinguish_v a_o body_n from_o the_o space_n that_o it_o possess_v which_o simple_a extension_n do_v not_o for_o any_o room_n that_o a_o body_n fill_v be_v just_a as_o much_o extend_v as_o the_o body_n that_o fill_v it_o but_o be_v not_o the_o same_o thing_n three_o it_o distinguish_v a_o body_n from_o a_o spirit_n which_o be_v a_o substance_n penetrable_a according_a to_o dr._n more_o for_o that_o learned_a man_n define_v a_o spirit_n to_o be_v a_o substance_n penetrable_a and_o indiscerpible_a and_o a_o body_n discerpible_a and_o impenetrable_a so_o that_o he_o make_v impenetrability_n essential_a to_o a_o body_n without_o take_v notice_n of_o extension_n however_o i_o doubt_v not_o both_o he_o and_o other_o do_v allow_v extension_n proper_a to_o a_o body_n but_o i_o deny_v it_o to_o be_v the_o adequate_a notion_n of_o it_o since_o it_o do_v not_o distinguish_v body_n from_o space_n and_o he_o that_o will_v not_o allow_v of_o that_o distinction_n may_v say_v if_o he_o please_v that_o a_o man_n differ_v not_o from_o the_o chair_n he_o sit_v in_o or_o the_o room_n he_o take_v up_o and_o why_o must_v we_o subscribe_v to_o des_n cartes_n against_o the_o common_a sense_n of_o mankind_n since_o it_o be_v well_o know_v that_o that_o gentleman_n have_v admit_v sundry_a thing_n into_o his_o philosophy_n not_o because_o they_o be_v probable_a but_o because_o they_o agree_v with_o his_o hypothesis_n witness_v the_o mere_a mechanism_n and_o

and_o so_o i_o leave_v he_o and_o till_o i_o be_v better_o inform_v which_o i_o be_o always_o willing_a to_o be_v i_o apprehend_v the_o matter_n thus_o spirit_n substance_n penetrable_a unextend_v body_n substance_n extend_v impenetrable_a space_n or_o vacuum_n penetrable_a extend_v no_o substance_n three_o but_o because_o it_o may_v be_v wonder_v at_o by_o some_o that_o a_o pure_a nothing_o shall_v have_v extension_n i_o make_v this_o supposition_n which_o indeed_o have_v be_v make_v by_o other_o but_o the_o inference_n arise_v thence_o i_o never_o yet_o see_v answer_v by_o any_o it_o can_v be_v deny_v but_o that_o god_n almighty_n who_o make_v all_o thing_n out_o of_o nothing_o can_v reduce_v again_o all_o thing_n into_o nothing_o at_o his_o pleasure_n and_o can_v if_o he_o shall_v think_v it_o fit_a annihilate_v the_o whole_a world_n or_o any_o part_n thereof_o suppose_v then_o a_o chamber_n or_o any_o determinate_a space_n so_o many_o yard_n be_v it_o more_o or_o less_o in_o length_n breadth_n and_o height_n and_o that_o god_n by_o his_o almighty_a power_n shall_v annihilate_v the_o air_n within_o this_o chamber_n and_o make_v it_o a_o space_n pure_o void_a permit_v the_o wall_n to_o stand_v i_o will_v inquire_v of_o any_o man_n that_o be_v not_o under_o a_o violent_a prejudice_n whether_o this_o chamber_n will_v not_o have_v the_o same_o dimension_n it_o have_v before_o and_o will_v it_o not_o be_v all_o one_o as_o to_o length_n breadth_n and_o deepness_n whether_o it_o be_v fill_v with_o lead_n or_o with_o hay_o or_o whether_o it_o have_v air_n
