lessen_v 88_o there_o can_v be_v no_o supply_n of_o vapour_n from_o the_o abyss_n see_v the_o heat_n of_o the_o sun_n can_v not_o reach_v so_o far_o nor_o raise_v vapour_n from_o it_o or_o at_o least_o not_o in_o a_o sufficient_a quantity_n as_o he_o pretend_v to_o prove_v hereafter_o but_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n he_o speak_v of_o great_a crack_n or_o pit_n who_o dimension_n and_o capacity_n he_o examine_v at_o pleasure_n and_o by_o these_o he_o make_v the_o theorist_n to_o suppose_v the_o vapour_n to_o ascend_v now_o i_o do_v not_o find_v that_o the_o theorist_n make_v any_o mention_n of_o these_o pit_n nor_o any_o use_n of_o those_o crack_n for_o that_o purpose_n the_o only_a question_n be_v whether_o the_o heat_n of_o the_o sun_n in_o that_o earth_n will_v reach_v so_o low_a as_o the_o abyss_n when_o the_o earth_n be_v more_o dry_v and_o its_o pore_n enlarge_v so_o that_o this_o objection_n as_o he_o state_v it_o seem_v to_o refer_v to_o some_o other_o author_n but_o now_o suppose_v the_o vapour_n raise_v he_o consider_v what_o course_n they_o will_v take_v or_o which_o way_n they_o will_v move_v in_o the_o open_a air._n but_o before_o that_o be_v examine_v we_o must_v take_v notice_n how_o unfair_o he_o deal_v with_o the_o theorist_n when_o he_o seem_v to_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 95._o which_o he_o never_o suppose_v nor_o be_v it_o possible_a he_o shall_v suppose_v it_o in_o the_o first_o earth_n where_o there_o be_v no_o mountain_n neither_o do_v the_o theorist_n suppose_v as_o this_o author_n will_v insinuate_v that_o mountain_n or_o cold_a dilate_v vapour_n but_o on_o the_o contrary_a that_o they_o stop_v and_o compress_v they_o as_o the_o word_n be_v cite_v even_o by_o the_o examiner_n a_o little_a before_o p._n 86._o then_o as_o to_o the_o course_n of_o the_o vapour_n when_o they_o be_v raise_v the_o theorist_n suppose_v that_o will_v be_v towards_o the_o pole_n and_o the_o cold_a climate_n but_o this_o author_n say_v they_o will_v all_o move_v westward_o or_o from_o east_n to_o west_n 97._o there_o be_v a_o continual_a wind_n blow_v from_o the_o east_n to_o west_n according_a to_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o sun_n whether_o that_o wind_n come_v from_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o sun_n or_o of_o the_o earth_n which_o be_v contrary_a be_v another_o question_n but_o however_o let_v they_o move_v at_o first_o to_o the_o west_n 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 and_o there_o be_v little_a probability_n that_o their_o condensation_n will_v be_v under_o the_o equator_fw-la where_o they_o be_v most_o agitate_a but_o rather_o by_o a_o impulse_n of_o new_a vapour_n they_o will_v soon_o divert_v towards_o the_o pole_n and_o lose_v their_o agitation_n there_o will_v fall_v in_o dew_n or_o ra_n which_o condensation_n be_v make_v and_o a_o passage_n open_v that_o way_n for_o new_a one_o to_o supply_v their_o place_n there_o will_v be_v a_o continual_a draught_n of_o vapour_n from_o the_o hot_a to_o the_o cold_a part_n of_o the_o earth_n we_o proceed_v now_o to_o the_o seven_o chapter_n which_o be_v in_o a_o good_a measure_n upon_o the_o same_o or_o a_o like_a subject_n with_o this_o namely_o concern_v the_o penetration_n of_o the_o heat_n of_o the_o sun_n into_o the_o body_n of_o the_o earth_n 148._o this_o he_o say_v can_v be_v to_o any_o considerable_a depth_n nor_o can_v it_o pass_v the_o exterior_a orb_n of_o the_o first_o earth_n and_o affect_v the_o abyss_n or_o raise_v vapour_n from_o it_o to_o prove_v this_o he_o suppose_v that_o exterior_a earth_n divide_v into_o so_o many_o surface_v as_o he_o please_v then_o suppose_v the_o heat_n diminish_v in_o every_o surface_n he_o conclude_v it_o can_v not_o possible_o pass_v through_o so_o many_o thus_o you_o may_v divide_v a_o inch_n into_o a_o hundred_o or_o a_o thousand_o surface_n and_o prove_v from_o thence_o that_o no_o heat_n of_o the_o sun_n can_v pierce_v through_o a_o inch_n of_o earth_n we_o must_v rather_o consider_v pore_n than_o surface_v in_o this_o case_n and_o whether_o those_o pore_n be_v straight_o or_o oblique_a the_o motion_n will_v pass_v however_o '_o tho_o not_o the_o light_n and_o the_o heat_n of_o the_o sun_n may_v have_v its_o effect_n by_o a_o direct_a or_o indirect_a motion_n to_o a_o great_a depth_n within_o the_o earth_n notwithstanding_o the_o multitude_n of_o surface_n that_o he_o imagine_v those_o that_o think_v a_o comet_n upon_o its_o near_a approach_n to_o the_o sun_n will_v be_v pierce_v with_o its_o heat_n through_o and_o through_o and_o to_o such_o a_o degree_n as_o to_o become_v much_o hot_a than_o red_a hot_a iron_n will_v not_o think_v it_o strange_a that_o at_o our_o distance_n from_o the_o sun_n its_o heat_n shall_v have_v some_o proportionable_a effect_n upon_o the_o inward_a part_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o all_o those_o imaginary_a solid_a surface_n do_v not_o hinder_v you_o see_v the_o magnetic_a particle_n from_o run_v through_o the_o body_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o make_v the_o globe_n one_o great_a magnet_n but_o let_v those_o consideration_n have_v what_o effect_n they_o can_v this_o supposition_n however_o be_v nothing_o peculiar_a to_o the_o theorist_n i_o know_v some_o learned_a man_n think_v the_o heat_n of_o the_o sun_n do_v penetrate_v deep_a into_o the_o bowel_n of_o the_o earth_n other_o think_v it_o do_v not_o and_o either_o of_o they_o have_v their_o argument_n these_o allege_v the_o equal_a

than_o the_o external_a air_n and_o those_o difference_n that_o appear_v to_o we_o be_v in_o a_o great_a measure_n by_o comparison_n with_o the_o temper_n of_o our_o body_n then_o for_o their_o own_o

the_o sun_n of_o the_o same_o sun_n that_o actuate_v all_o the_o vegetable_a world_n that_o quicken_v seed_n and_o raise_v juice_n into_o the_o root_n of_o our_o deep_a and_o top_n of_o our_o high_a

earthquake_n let_v we_o consider_v the_o cause_n of_o they_o and_o the_o depth_n of_o they_o i_o think_v all_o agree_v that_o earthquake_n arise_v from_o the_o rarefaction_n of_o vapour_n and_o exhalation_n and_o that_o this_o rarefaction_n must_v be_v make_v by_o some_o heat_n and_o no_o other_o be_v yet_o prove_v to_o we_o by_o this_o author_n than_o that_o of_o the_o sun_n then_o as_o to_o the_o depth_n of_o earthquake_n we_o find_v they_o be_v deep_o than_o the_o bottom_n of_o the_o sea_n for_o beside_o that_o they_o communicate_v with_o different_a country_n divide_v by_o the_o sea_n they_o be_v find_v sometime_o to_o arise_v within_o the_o sea_n and_o from_o the_o bottom_n of_o it_o at_o great_a depth_n this_o seem_v to_o prove_v that_o there_o may_v be_v a_o strong_a rarefaction_n of_o vapour_n and_o exhalation_n far_o within_o the_o bowel_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o the_o theorist_n desire_v no_o more_o if_o in_o the_o present_a constitution_n of_o the_o earth_n there_o may_v be_v such_o concussion_n and_o subversion_n for_o a_o great_a extent_n we_o have_v no_o reason_n to_o believe_v but_o there_o may_v be_v at_o a_o time_n appoint_v by_o providence_n a_o

of_o the_o abyss_n and_o that_o disruption_n universal_a as_o the_o deluge_n be_v which_o answer_v sufficient_o the_o design_n of_o the_o theory_n however_o if_o he_o have_v a_o mind_n to_o see_v

to_o note_v a_o instance_n of_o this_o himself_o 39_o and_o to_o subjoin_v his_o reason_n for_o it_o we_o see_v dust_n say_v he_o though_o specifical_o heavy_a than_o oil_n yet_o not_o to_o sink_v when_o cast_v upon_o it_o and_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o all_o terrestrial_a body_n though_o fluid_a in_o their_o kind_n yet_o in_o some_o degree_n resist_v separation_n and_o consequent_o i_o add_v viscous_a liquor_n which_o have_v some_o sort_n of_o entanglement_n among_o themselves_o resist_v separation_n more_o than_o other_o then_o he_o remark_n further_o that_o according_a as_o body_n be_v less_o they_o have_v more_o surface_n in_o proportion_n to_o their_o bulk_n and_o consequent_o that_o small_a body_n who_o weight_n or_o force_n to_o separate_v the_o part_n of_o the_o fluid_n be_v but_o very_o little_a may_v have_v a_o surface_n so_o large_a that_o they_o can_v overcome_v the_o resistance_n of_o the_o fluid_a that_o be_v they_o can_v make_v way_n for_o their_o descent_n through_o the_o fluid_a and_o therefore_o must_v swim_v upon_o the_o surface_n of_o it_o be_v it_o so_o than_o the_o particle_n here_o mention_v by_o the_o theorist_n be_v little_a and_o of_o large_a surface_n in_o proportion_n to_o their_o bulk_n will_v swim_v upon_o the_o surface_n of_o the_o fluid_a or_o mix_v with_o it_o which_o be_v all_o the_o theorist_n affirm_v or_o suppose_v and_o as_o this_o tender_a film_n grow_v into_o a_o crust_n and_o that_o into_o a_o solid_a arch_n the_o part_n of_o it_o will_v mutual_o support_v one_o another_o the_o concave_a superficies_n of_o the_o orb_n overspread_v and_o lean_v upon_o the_o water_n and_o this_o also_o show_v that_o his_o instance_n of_o a_o solid_a globe_n sink_v in_o a_o fluid_fw-la be_v little_a to_o the_o purpose_n in_o this_o case_n but_o he_o have_v a_o second_o objection_n behind_o 40._o or_o another_o consideration_n to_o prove_v that_o those_o little_a particle_n will_v pierce_v and_o pass_v through_o this_o oily_a liquid_a this_o consideration_n be_v the_o great_a height_n of_o the_o place_n from_o which_o they_o descend_v whereby_o he_o think_v they_o will_v acquire_v such_o a_o celerity_n and_o force_n in_o their_o descent_n that_o they_o must_v needs_o break_v through_o this_o orb_n of_o oily_a liquor_n when_o they_o come_v at_o it_o but_o this_o be_v to_o suppose_v that_o they_o descend_v without_o

for_o these_o float_a particle_n do_v not_o fall_v like_o a_o stone_n or_o a_o ponderous_a body_n in_o one_o continue_a line_n but_o rather_o like_a fleak_v of_o snow_n hover_v and_o play_v in_o the_o

suggestion_n can_v be_v of_o no_o force_n or_o effect_v in_o the_o present_a case_n however_o if_o that_o will_v gratify_v he_o we_o can_v allow_v that_o thousand_o and_o million_o of_o these_o little_a particle_n may_v slip_v or_o creep_v through_o this_o clammy_a liquor_n yet_o there_o will_v enough_o of_o they_o be_v entangle_v there_o to_o make_v it_o first_o a_o gross_a liquid_a than_o
