the_o epicurean_o who_o admit_v no_o omnipotent_a maker_n of_o the_o world_n but_o substitute_v chance_n and_o atom_n in_o his_o stead_n teach_v that_o by_o reason_n the_o cause_n sufficient_a to_o

their_o doctrine_n of_o the_o indefiniteness_n of_o corporeal_a substance_n admit_v that_o our_o visible_a world_n or_o if_o they_o please_v vortex_n by_o which_o i_o mean_v the_o great_a extent_n our_o eye_n can_v reach_v to_o be_v but_o a_o part_n and_o comparative_o but_o a_o very_a small_a one_o too_o of_o the_o whole_a universe_n which_o may_v extend_v beyond_o the_o utmost_a star_n we_o can_v see_v incomparable_o far_o than_o those_o remote_a visible_a bound_n be_v distant_a from_o our_o earth_n now_o if_o we_o grant_v with_o some_o modern_a philosopher_n that_o god_n have_v make_v other_o world_n beside_o this_o of_o we_o it_o will_v be_v high_o probable_a that_o he_o have_v there_o display_v his_o manifold_a wisdom_n in_o production_n very_o differ_v from_o those_o wherein_o we_o here_o admire_v it_o and_o even_o without_o suppose_v any_o more_o than_o one_o universe_n as_o all_o that_o portion_n of_o it_o that_o be_v visible_a to_o we_o make_v but_o a_o part_n of_o that_o vast_o extend_v aggregate_v of_o body_n so_o if_o we_o but_o suppose_v that_o some_o of_o the_o celestial_a globe_n whether_o visible_a to_o we_o or_o place_v beyond_o the_o reach_n of_o our_o sight_n be_v peculiar_a systemes_n the_o consideration_n will_v not_o be_v very_o different_a for_o since_o the_o fix_a star_n be_v many_o of_o they_o incomparable_o more_o remote_a than_o the_o planet_n it_o be_v not_o absurd_a to_o suppose_v that_o as_o the_o sun_n who_o be_v the_o fix_a star_n near_o to_o we_o have_v a_o whole_a systeme_n of_o planet_n that_o move_v about_o he_o so_o some_o of_o the_o other_o fix_a star_n may_v be_v each_o of_o they_o the_o centre_n as_o it_o be_v of_o another_o systeme_n of_o celestial_a globe_n since_o we_o see_v that_o some_o planet_n

unaccompanied_a it_o be_v plain_a that_o jupiter_n have_v no_o less_o than_o four_o satellite_n that_o run_v their_o course_n about_o he_o and_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v pretermit_v that_o none_o of_o these_o lesser_a and_o secondary_a planet_n if_o i_o may_v so_o call_v they_o that_o move_v about_o saturn_n and_o jupiter_n be_v visible_a to_o the_o naked_a eye_n and_o therefore_o they_o be_v

beside_o this_o visible_a one_o of_o we_o i_o think_v it_o may_v be_v probable_o suppose_v that_o god_n may_v have_v give_v peculiar_a and_o admirable_a instance_n of_o his_o inexhausted_a wisdom_n in_o the_o contrivance_n and_o government_n of_o systemes_n that_o for_o aught_o we_o know_v may_v be_v frame_v and_o manage_v in_o a_o manner_n quite_o differ_v from_o what_o be_v observe_v in_o that_o part_n of_o the_o universe_n that_o be_v know_v to_o we_o for_o beside_o that_o here_o on_o earth_n the_o loadstone_n be_v a_o mineral_n so_o differ_v in_o divers_a affection_n not_o only_o from_o all_o other_o stone_n but_o from_o all_o other_o body_n that_o be_v not_o magnetical_a that_o this_o heteroclite_n mineral_n scarce_o seem_v to_o be_v originary_a of_o this_o world_n of_o we_o but_o to_o have_v come_v into_o it_o by_o a_o remove_n from_o some_o other_o world_n or_o systeme_n i_o remember_v that_o some_o of_o the_o navigator_n that_o discover_v america_n take_v notice_n that_o at_o their_o first_o come_v into_o some_o part_n of_o it_o though_o they_o find_v great_a store_n of_o animal_n and_o plant_n yet_o they_o meet_v with_o few_o of_o the_o latter_a and_o scarce_o any_o of_o the_o former_a of_o the_o same_o species_n with_o the_o live_a creature_n of_o europe_n 19_o now_o in_o these_o other_o world_n beside_o that_o we_o may_v suppose_v that_o the_o original_a

beside_o this_o i_o say_v we_o may_v conceive_v that_o there_o may_v be_v a_o vast_a difference_n betwixt_o the_o subsequent_a phoenomena_fw-la and_o production_n observable_a in_o one_o of_o those_o systeme_n from_o what_o regular_o happen_v in_o we_o though_o we_o shall_v suppose_v no_o more_o than_o that_o two_o or_o three_o law_n of_o local_a motion_n may_v be_v differ_v in_o those_o unknown_a world_n from_o the_o law_n that_o obtain_v in_o we_o for_o if_o we_o suppose_v for_o instance_n that_o every_o entire_a body_n whether_o simple_a or_o compound_v great_a or_o small_a retain_v always_o a_o motive_n power_n as_o philosopher_n common_o think_v that_o the_o soul_n do_v when_o it_o have_v move_v the_o humane_a body_n and_o as_o the_o epicurean_o and_o many_o other_o philosopher_n think_v all_o atom_n do_v after_o they_o have_v impel_v one_o aonther_n this_o power_n of_o exciting_a motion_n in_o another_o body_n without_o the_o movent_n lose_v its_o own_o will_v appear_v of_o such_o moment_n to_o those_o that_o due_o consider_v that_o local_a motion_n be_v the_o first_o and_o chief_a of_o the_o second_o cause_n that_o produce_v the_o phoenomena_fw-la of_o nature_n that_o

of_o vary_a motion_n be_v it_o absurd_a to_o conceive_v that_o god_n may_v have_v create_v some_o part_n of_o matter_n to_o be_v of_o themselves_o quiescent_n as_o the_o cartesian_o and_o divers_a other_o philosopher_n suppose_v all_o matter_n to_o be_v in_o its_o own_o nature_n and_o determine_v to_o continue_v at_o rest_n till_o some_o outward_a agent_n force_v it_o into_o motion_n and_o yet_o that_o he_o may_v have_v endow_v other_o part_n of_o the_o matter_n with_o a_o power_n like_o that_o which_o the_o atomist_n ascribe_v to_o their_o principle_n of_o restles_o move_v themselves_o without_o lose_v that_o power_n by_o the_o motion_n they_o excite_v in_o quiescent_a body_n and_o the_o law_n of_o this_o propagation_n of_o motion_n among_o body_n may_v be_v not_o the_o same_o
