of_o the_o cause_n of_o elasticity_n namely_o that_o there_o be_v a_o matter_n of_o a_o strangely-violent_a motion_n which_o continual_o pass_v into_o the_o part_n of_o hard_a body_n and_o make_v they_o so_o by_o its_o compress_v both_o their_o outward_a and_o inward_a part_n for_o it_o will_v be_v easy_a from_o hence_o to_o see_v that_o at_o the_o time_n of_o percussion_n then_o encounter_v

this_o that_o if_o two_o bowl_n of_o lead_n or_o of_o any_o other_o less_o elastic_a matter_n meet_v they_o rebound_v not_o after_o their_o collision_n but_o proceed_v almost_o according_a to_o the_o

a_o motion_n overpower_v the_o resistance_n the_o little_a part_n of_o the_o subtle_a matter_n be_v capable_a of_o make_v as_o when_o we_o discharge_v a_o musket_n against_o a_o piece_n of_o wood._n it_o be_v true_a the_o subtle_a matter_n compress_n soft_a body_n and_o pass_v with_o a_o rapid_a course_n through_o their_o pore_n no_o less_o than_o through_o those_o of_o hard_a and_o yet_o these_o

to_o the_o soul_n what_o figure_n be_v to_o body_n and_o motion_n be_v to_o body_n what_o love_n be_v to_o the_o soul_n but_o the_o motion_n of_o a_o body_n be_v very_o different_a from_o its_o

evident_a by_o this_o distinction_n of_o pleasure_n into_o that_o which_o follow_v and_o that_o which_o prevent_v reason_n that_o neither_o of_o they_o but_o differ_v from_o love_n for_o prevent_v pleasure_n undoubted_o precede_v love_n since_o it_o precede_v all_o knowledge_n which_o some_o way_n or_o other_o be_v always_o suppose_v by_o love_n on_o the_o contrary_a joy_n or_o the_o pleasure_n which_o suppose_v forego_v knowledge_n presuppose_v likewise_o love_n since_o joy_n suppose_v either_o a_o confuse_a sensation_n or_o a_o clear_a knowledge_n of_o the_o present_a or_o future_a

that_o rain_n fall_v on_o the_o sand_n and_o in_o the_o sea_n no_o less_o than_o on_o seed-ground_n xvi_o though_o god_n may_v punish_v sinner_n or_o make_v they_o more_o miserable_a than_o they_o

by_o a_o necessary_a consequence_n of_o general_n law_n establish_v for_o the_o production_n of_o the_o best_a effect_n by_o the_o same_o reason_n that_o on_o some_o occasion_n too_o abundant_a rain_n

enough_o why_o must_v we_o attribute_v a_o particular_a will_n to_o god_n to_o make_v so_o cruel_a and_o unhappy_a use_n of_o the_o price_n of_o his_o son_n blood_n but_o many_o other_o will_v say_v god_n in_o give_v grace_n to_o sinner_n have_v never_o that_o design_n and_o this_o doubtless_o seem_v more_o reasonable_a but_o if_o god_n give_v his_o grace_n by_o a_o particular_a will_n he_o

xviii_o when_o the_o rain_n fall_v in_o such_o excess_n that_o the_o flood_n extirpate_v the_o fruit_n of_o the_o earth_n we_o ought_v to_o conclude_v this_o rain_n come_v by_o a_o necessary_a

of_o grace_n since_o god_n can_v dispense_v it_o with_o design_n of_o punish_v man_n much_o less_o of_o make_v they_o more_o culpable_a and_o criminal_a thus_o it_o be_v much_o more_o certain_a that_o
