that_o half_a of_o the_o sphere_n which_o be_v see_v from_o whence_o and_o the_o observation_n of_o eccilpse_n the_o earth_n must_v be_v suppose_v to_o be_v spherical_a also_o and_o if_o this_o be_v far_o inquire_v into_o we_o shall_v find_v that_o this_o motion_n of_o heavy_a thing_n downward_o be_v but_o part_n of_o a_o more_o general_a motion_n and_o to_o be_v so_o conclude_v from_o that_o more_o general_a observation_n of_o union_n and_o be_v but_o the_o appetite_n thereof_o make_v more_o observable_a through_o this_o more_o apparent_a motion_n towards_o union_n after_o separation_n for_o the_o common_a knowledge_n and_o observance_n of_o boldness_n as_o they_o be_v unite_v and_o keep_v close_o together_o as_o by_o so_o much_o more_o general_a than_o the_o motion_n of_o gravity_n as_o rest_v itself_o be_v more_o general_a than_o local_a motion_n for_o indeed_o what_o be_v usual_o call_v motion_n and_o rest_n be_v but_o these_o two_o but_o it_o be_v not_o so_o observable_a as_o the_o other_o because_o rest_v or_o union_n already_o make_v have_v no_o variety_n to_o cause_n intent_n observance_n as_o variety_n of_o motion_n do_v in_o the_o other_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v only_o discoverable_a to_o such_o as_o can_v un-ravel_a nature_n in_o their_o contemplation_n until_o they_o come_v to_o the_o bottom_n and_o first_o groundwork_n thereof_o for_o than_o they_o shall_v find_v both_o this_o constant_a practice_n of_o union_n or_o adhesion_n of_o body_n and_o also_o the_o cause_n thereof_o to_o be_v the_o general_a cause_n of_o all_o cause_n that_o be_v the_o will_n and_o law_n of_o god_n in_o order_n to_o his_o providence_n and_o although_o inanimate_v have_v a_o kind_n of_o specification_n among_o themselves_o whereby_o desire_n of_o proper_a union_n have_v some_o force_n as_o may_v be_v see_v in_o that_o active_a part_n of_o earth_n the_o loadstone_n in_o his_o variation_n yet_o they_o follow_v in_o their_o whole_a mass_n the_o general_a law_n of_o
