severall tempers make But what is mixt doth of the Four partake Of Aiery Atomes THE Atomes long which streaming Aire makes Are hollow from which Forme Aire softnesse takes This makes that Aire and water neer agree Because in hollownesse alike they be For Aiery Atomes made are like a Pipe And watry Atomes Round and Cimball like Although the one is Long the other Round Yet in the midst a hollownesse is found This makes us thinke water turnes into Aire And Aire often runs into water faire And like two Twins mistaken they are oft Because their hollownesse makes both them soft Of Aire THE reason why Aire doth so equall spred Is Atomes long at each end ballanced For being long and each end both alike Are like to Weights which keep it steddy right For howsoere it moves to what Forme joyne Yet still that Figure lies in every line For Atomes long their 〈◊〉 are like a Thread Which interweaves like to a Spiders Web And thus being thin it so subtle growes That into every empty place it goes Of Earth WHY Earth's not apt to move but slow and dull Is Atomes flat no Vacuum hath ' butfull That Forme admits no empty place to bide All parts are fil'd having no hollow side And where no Vacuum is Motion is slow Having no empty places for to go Though Atomes all are small as small may bee Yet by their Formes Motion doth disagree For Atomes sharp do make themselves a Way Cutting through other Atomes as they stray But Atomes flat will dull and lazy lay Having no Edge or point to make a Way The weight of Atomes IF Atomes are as small as small can bee They must in quantity of Matter all agree And if consisting Matter of the same be right Then every Atome must weigh just alike Thus Quantity Quality and Weight all Together meets in every Atome small The bignesse of Atomes MHEN I say Atomes small as small can bee I mean Quantity quality and Weight agree Not in the Figure for some may shew Much bigger and some lesser so Take Water fluid and Ice that 's firme Though the Weight be just the Bulke is not the same So Atomes are some soft others more knit According as each Atome's Figured Round and Long Atomes hollow are more slacke Then Flat or Sharpe for they are more compact And being hollow they are spread more thin Then other Atomes which are close within And Atomes which are thin more tender far For those that are more close they harder are The joyning of severall Figur'd Atomes make other Figures SEverall Figur'd Atomes well agreeing When joyn'd do give another Figure being For as those Figures joyned severall waies The Fabrick of each severall Creature raise What Atomes make Change T IS severall Figur'd Atomes that make Change When severall Bodies meet as they do range For if they sympathise and do agree They joyne 〈◊〉 as one Body bee But if they joyne like to a Rabble-rout Without all order running in and out Then disproportionable things they make Because they did not their right places take All things last or dissolve according to the Composure of Atomes THose Atomes loosely joyn'd do not remaine So long as those which Closenesse do maintaine Those make all things i' th 〈◊〉 ebb and flow According as the moving Atomes go Others in Bodies they do joyne so close As in long time they never stir nor loose And some will joyne so close and knit so fast As if unstir'd they would for ever last In smallest Vegetables loosest Atomes lye Which is the reason they so quickly dye In Animals much closer they are laid Which is the cause Life is the longer staid Some Vegetables and Animals do joyne In equall strength if Atomes so combine But Animals where Atomes close lay in Are stronger then some Vegetables thin But in Vegetables where Atomes do stick fast As in strong Trees the longer they do last In Minerals they are so hard wedg'd in No space they leave for Motion to get in Being Pointed all the closer they do lye Which make them not like Vegetables dye Those Bodies where loose Atomes most move in Are Soft and Porous and many times thin Those 〈◊〉 Bodies never do live long For why loose Atomes never can be strong There Motion having power tosses them about Keeps them from their right places so Life goes out Of Loose Atomes IN every Braine loose Atomes there do lye Those which are Sharpe from them do Fancies flye Those that are long and Aiery nimble be But Atomes Round and Square are dull and sleepie Change is made by several-figur'd Atomes and Motion IF Atomes all are of the selfe same Matter As Fire Aire Earth and Water Then must their severall Figures make all Change By Motions helpe which orders as they range Of Sharpe Atomes THen Atomes Sharpe Motion doth mount up high Like Arrowes sharpe Motion doth make them flye And being sharpe and swift they peirce so deep As they passe through all Atomes as they meet By their swift motion they to bright Fire turne And being Sharpe they peirce which we call Burne What Atomes make Flame THose Atomes which are Long sharp at each end Stream forth like Aire in Flame which Light doth seem For Flame doth flow as if it fluid were Which shewes part of that Figure is like Aire Thus Flame is joyn'd two Figures into one But Fire without Flame is sharpe alone Of Fire and Flame ALthough we at a distance stand if great The Fire be the Body through will heat Yet those sharpe Atomes we do not perceive How they flye out nor how to us 〈◊〉 cleave Nor do they flame nor shine they cleare and bright When they 〈◊〉 out and on our Bodies strike The reason is they loose and scattered flye And not in Troupes nor do they on 〈◊〉 Like small dust 〈◊〉 which scatter'd all about We see it not nor doth it keep Light out When gathered thick up to a Mountaine high We see them then in solid Earth to lye Just so do Atomes sharpe looke cleere and bright When in heaps lye or in a streaming flight Of Fire in the Flint THE reason Fire lies in Flint unseene Is other Figur'd Atomes lye betweene For being bound and overpowred by A Multitude they do in Prison lye Unlesse that Motion doth release them out With as strong power which make them flye about But if that Flint be beat to powder small To sep'rate the grossest releas'd are all But when they once are out do not returne But seeke about to make another Forme Of the Sympathy of Atomes BY Sympathy Atomes are fixed so As past some Principles they do not go For count the Principles of all their workes You 'le finde there are not many severall sorts For when they do dissolve and new Formes make They still to their first Principles do take As Animals Vegetables Minerals So Aire Fire Earth Water falls Of the Sympathy of their Figures SUch Sympathy there is

in every Figure That every severall sort do flock together As Aire Water Earth and Fine Which make each Element to be entire Not but loose 〈◊〉 like Sheep stray about And in t o severall places go in andout And some as Sheep and Kine do mixe together Which when they mixe t is severall change of weather But Motion as their 〈◊〉 drives them so As not to let them out of order go What Atomes make Vegetables Minerals and Animals THE Eranched Atomes Formes each 〈◊〉 thing The hooked points pull out and m akes them spring The Atomes Round give Juice the Sharpe give heate And those grow Hearbs and Fruits and Flowers sweet Those that are Square and Flat not rough withall Make those which Stone and Minerals we call But in all Stones and Minerals no doubt Sharpe points do lye which Fire makes strike out Thus Vegetables Minerals do grow According as the severall Atomes go In Animals all Figures do agree But in Mankinde the best of Atomes bee And thus in Nature the whole World may be For all we know unto Eternitie What Atomes make Heate and Cold. SSuch kinde of Atomes which make Heat make Cold Like Pincers sharpe which nip and do take hold But Atomes that are pointed sharpe peirce through And Atomes which are sharpe but Hookt pull to Yet all must into pointed Figures turne For Atomes blunt will never freeze nor burne Cause 〈◊〉 Figures do to a soft Forme bend And Soft do unto 〈◊〉 or Liquid tend What Atomes make Fire to burne and what Flame WHat makes a Sparks of Fire to burne more quick Then a great Flame because 't is small to stick For Fire of it selfe it is so dry Falls into parts as crowds of Atomes lye The Sharpest Atomes keepe the Body hot To give out Heat some Atomes forth are shot Sometimes for anger the Sparkes do flye about Or want of roome the weakest are thrust out They are so sharpe that whatsoere they meet If not orepowr'd by other Atomes eate As Ants which small will eate up a dead Horse So Atomes sharpe on Bodies of lesse force Thus Atomes sharpe yet sharper by degrees As Stings in Flies are not so sharpe as Bees And when they meet a Body solid stat The weakest Flye the Sharpest worke on that Those that are not so sharpe do flye about To seeke some lighter matter to eate out So lighter Atomes do turne Aire to Flame Because more Thin and 〈◊〉 is the same Thus Flame is not so hot as Burning Coale The Atomes are too weake to take fast hold The sharpest into firmest Bodies flye But if their strength be small they quickly dye Or if their Number be not great but small The 〈◊〉 Atomes beate and quench out all What Atomes make the Sun and the Sea go round ALL pointed Atomes they to Fire turne Which by their drinesse they so light become Above the rest do flye and make a Sun Which by consent of parts a Wheele of Fire growes Which being Sphaericall in a round motion goes And as it turnes round Atomes turne about Which Atomes round are Water without doubt This makes the Sea go round like Water-Mill For as the Sun turnes round so doth the water still What Atomes make Life ALL pointed Atomes to Life do tend Whether pointed all or at one end Or whether Round are set like to a Ring Or whether Long are roul'd as on a String Those which are pointed streight quick Motion give But those that bowe and bend more dull do live For Life lives dull or merrilie According as Sharpe Atomes be The Cause why things do live and dye Is as the mixed Atomes lye What Atomes make Death LIfe is a Fire and burnes full hot But when Round watry Atomes power have got Then do they quench Lifes Atomes out Blunting their Points and kill their courage stout Thus they sometimes do quite thrust out each other When equall mix'd live quietly together The cause why things do live and dye Is as the mixed Atomes lye What Atomes cause Sicknesse WHen sicke the Body is and well by fits Atomes are fighting but none 〈◊〉 better gets If they agree then Health returnes againe And so shall live as long as Peace remaine What Atomes make a Dropsie WHen Atomes round do meet joyne in one Ball Then they swell high and grow Hydropicall Thus joyning they ' come strong so powerfull grow All other Atomes they do overflow What Atomes make a Consumption THE Atomes sharpe when they together meet They grow so hot all other Atomes beate And being hot becomes so very dry They drinke Lifes moisture up make motion dye What Atomes make the wind Collick LOng aiery Atomes when they are combin'd Do spread themselves abroad and so make Wind Making a Length and Breadth extend so far That all the rest can neither go nor stir And being forc'd not in right places lye Thus press'd too hard Man in great paine doth lye What Atomes make a Palsey or Apoplexy DUll Atomes flat when they together joyne And with each other in a heape combine This Body thicke doth stop all passage so Keeps Motion out so num'd the Body grow Atomes that are sharpe in which Heate doth live Being smothered close no heate can give But if those Atomes flat meet in the Braine They choake the Spirits can no hea te obtaine In all other Diseases they are mixed taking parts and factions BUT in all other Diseases they are mix'd And not in one consisting Body fix'd But do in factions part then up do rise Striving to beate each other out Man dies All things are govern'd by Atomes THus Life and Death and young and old Are as the severall Atomes hold So Wit and Vnderstanding in the Braine Are as the severall Atomes reigne And Dispositions good or ill Are as the severall Atomes still And every Passion which doth rise Is as the severall Atomes lies Thus Sicknesse Health and Peace and War Are alwaies as the severall Atomes are A warr with Atomes SOme factious Atomes will agree combine They strive some form'd Body to unjoyne The Round beate out the Sharpe the Long The Flat do fight withall thus all go wrong Those which make Motion Generall in their war By his direction they much stronger are Atomes and Motion fall out WHen Motion and all Atomes disagree Thunder in Skies and sicknesse in Men bee Earthquakes and Windes which make disorder great T is when that Motion all the Atomes beate In this confusion a horrid noise they make For Motion will not let them their right places take Like frighted Flocks of Sheepe together run Thus Motion like a Wolfe doth worry them The agreement of some kinde of Motion with some kinde of Atomes SOme Motion with some Atomes well agree Fits them to places right as just may bee By Motions helpe they so strong joyne each to That hardly Motion shall againe undo Motions inconstancy oft gives such power To Atomes as they can Motion devoure
