A35976	A late discourse made in a solemne assembly of nobles and learned men at Montpellier in France touching the cure of wounds by the powder of sympathy : with instructions how to make the said powder : whereby many other secrets of nature are unfolded / by Sr. Kenelme Digby, knight ; rendred faithfully out of French into English by R. White.	Digby, Kenelm, Sir, 1603-1665.; White, R., Gent.	1658 (1658)	Wing D1435; ESTC R27859	54,616	164

yet_o these_o experience_n do_v manifest_o convince_v that_o the_o air_n be_v stuff_v with_o such_o atom_n i_o can_v omit_v to_o add_v hereunto_o another_o experiment_n which_o be_v that_o we_o find_v by_o the_o effect_n how_o the_o ray_n of_o the_o moon_n be_v cold_a and_o moist_a it_o be_v without_o controversy_n that_o the_o luminous_a part_n of_o those_o ray_n come_v from_o the_o sun_n the_o moon_n have_v no_o light_n at_o all_o within_o she_o as_o her_o eclipse_n bear_v witness_v which_o happen_v when_o the_o earth_n be_v opposite_a betwixt_o she_o and_o the_o sun_n which_o interposition_n hinder_v she_o to_o have_v light_n from_o his_o ray_n the_o beam_n than_o which_o come_v from_o the_o moon_n be_v those_o of_o the_o sun_n who_o glance_v upon_o she_o reflect_v upon_o we_o and_o so_o bring_v with_o they_o the_o atom_n of_o that_o cold_a and_o humid_a star_n who_o participate_v of_o the_o source_n whence_o they_o come_v therefore_o if_o one_o shall_v expose_v a_o hollow_a basin_n or_o glass_n to_o assemble_v they_o one_o shall_v find_v that_o whereas_o those_o of_o the_o sun_n do_v burn_v by_o such_o a_o conjuncture_n these_o clean_a contrary_n do_v refresh_v and_o moisten_v in_o a_o notable_a manner_n leave_v a_o aquatic_a and_o viscuous_a glutine_a kind_n of_o sweat_n upon_o the_o glass_n one_o will_v think_v it_o be_v a_o folly_n that_o one_o shall_v offer_v to_o wash_v his_o hand_n in_o a_o well_o polish_a silver_n basin_n wherein_o there_o be_v not_o a_o drop_n of_o water_n yet_o this_o may_v be_v do_v by_o the_o reflection_n of_o the_o moon_n beam_n only_o which_o will_v afford_v a_o competent_a humidity_n to_o do_v it_o but_o they_o woe_n have_v try_v this_o have_v find_v their_o hand_n after_o they_o be_v wipe_v to_o be_v much_o moist_a than_o usual_o but_o this_o be_v a_o infallible_a way_n to_o take_v away_o wart_n from_o the_o band_n if_o it_o be_v often_o use_v let_v we_o then_o conclude_v out_o of_o these_o premise_n and_o experiment_n that_o the_o air_n be_v full_a of_o atom_n which_o be_v draw_v from_o body_n by_o mean_n of_o the_o light_n which_o reflect_v thereon_o or_o which_o sally_n out_o by_o the_o interior_a natural_a heat_n of_o those_o body_n which_o drive_v they_o forth_o it_o may_v haply_o seem_v impossible_a that_o there_o can_v be_v a_o emanation_n of_o so_o many_o small_a body_n that_o shall_v be_v spread_v up_o and_o down_o the_o air_n and_o be_v so_o carry_v up_o and_o down_o and_o so_o far_o by_o a_o continual_a flux_n if_o i_o may_v say_v so_o and_o yet_o the_o body_n whence_o they_o come_v receive_v no_o diminution_n that_o be_v perceptible_a though_o sometime_o it_o be_v visible_a enough_o as_o by_o the_o evaporation_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o wine_n musk_n and_o other_o such_o volatile_a substance_n but_o this_o objection_n will_v be_v null_a and_o the_o two_o precedent_a principle_n will_v render_v themselves_o more_o credible_a when_o we_o shall_v settle_v another_o viz._n that_o everybody_o be_v it_o never_o so_o little_a be_v divisible_a ad_fw-la infinitum_fw-la not_o that_o it_o have_v infinite_a part_n for_o the_o contrary_a thereof_o may_v be_v demonstrate_v but_o it_o be_v capable_a to_o be_v divide_v and_o subdivide_v into_o new_a part_n without_o ever_o come_v to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o division_n and_o it_o be_v in_o this_o sense_n that_o our_o master_n teach_v we_o that_o quantity_n be_v infinite_o divisible_a this_o be_v evident_a to_o he_o who_o shall_v consider_v with_o a_o profound_a imagination_n the_o essence_n and_o the_o formal_a reason_n of_o quantity_n which_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o divisibility_n but_o in_o regard_n that_o this_o speculation_n be_v very_o subtle_a and_o metaphysical_a i_o will_v serve_v myself_o with_o some_o geometrical_a demonstration_n to_o prove_v this_o truth_n for_o they_o accommodate_v best_a with_o the_o imagination_n euclid_n do_v teach_v we_o in_o the_o ten_o proposition_n of_o his_o six_o book_n that_o if_o one_o take_v a_o short_a line_n and_o another_o long_a one_o and_o that_o the_o long_o be_v divide_v to_o divers_a equal_a part_n betwixt_o themselves_o the_o little_a one_o may_v be_v divide_v also_o into_o as_o many_o equal_a part_n among_o themselves_o and_o every_o one_o of_o those_o part_n also_o in_o other_o and_o these_o last_o into_o so_o many_o more_o and_o so_o consecutive_o without_o be_v able_a ever_o to_o come_v to_o that_o which_o be_v not_o divisible_a but_o let_v we_o suppose_v although_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o one_o may_v divide_v and_o subdivide_v a_o line_n so_o that_o at_o last_o we_o shall_v come_v to_o a_o indivisible_a and_o let_v we_o see_v what_o will_v come_v of_o it_o i_o say_v then_o that_o since_o the_o line_n do_v
