expiration_n and_o consequent_o that_o every_o body_n more_o or_o less_o operate_v upon_o and_o affect_v other_o body_n which_o approach_v it_o round_o about_o or_o act_n in_o a_o sphere_n as_o we_o see_v by_o experience_n in_o hot_a cold_a odoriferous_a poisonous_a body_n and_o in_o animal_n etc._n etc._n every_o body_n therefore_o have_v a_o certain_a sphere_n of_o activity_n by_o this_o

it_o can_v act_v upon_o a_o distant_a thing_n but_o by_o a_o medium_fw-la as_o also_o that_o it_o suffer_v from_o that_o upon_o which_o it_o act_n if_o it_o be_v within_o that_o be_v sphere_n of_o activity_n the_o emanation_n of_o the_o one_o run_v by_o line_n different_a from_o the_o emanation_n of_o the_o other_o 8._o again_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o since_o these_o emanation_n be_v certain_a minute_a particle_n in_o a_o denser_n body_n more_o will_v stick_v to_o its_o part_n because_o its_o pore_n be_v narrow_a and_o hard_a to_o pass_v through_o wherefore_o with_o great_a labour_n and_o time_n and_o at_o the_o cost_n of_o more_o little_a particle_n a_o dense_a body_n receive_v the_o nature_n and_o similitude_n of_o the_o body_n act_v upon_o it_o retain_v more_o strong_o and_o work_n more_o vigorous_o than_o if_o it_o be_v rare_a 9_o and_o hence_o the_o nature_n of_o intention_n and_o remission_n be_v evident_a viz._n because_o there_o be_v within_o the_o same_o space_n more_o or_o few_o of_o these_o particle_n as_o also_o why_o in_o a_o denser_n body_n a_o quality_n be_v more_o intend_a lesson_n x._o of_o the_o motion_n of_o vndulation_n projection_n reflection_n and_o refraction_n 1._o it_o be_v consequential_a to_o what_o have_v be_v say_v that_o water_n stir_v and_o alter_v by_o any_o violence_n from_o its_o planesse_n and_o equidistance_n from_o the_o centre_n will_v not_o sudden_o cease_v its_o motion_n and_o return_n to_o rest_n though_o that_o extrinsecall_v force_n be_v withdraw_v for_o since_o by_o that_o violence_n some_o of_o its_o part_n be_v raise_v high_a than_o they_o shall_v be_v it_o be_v manifest_a that_o those_o high_a part_n by_o the_o course_n of_o common_a cause_n must_v press_v towards_o the_o centre_n and_o consequent_o thrust_v other_o out_o of_o their_o place_n wherefore_o the_o motion_n will_v continue_v till_o every_o one_o be_v restore_v to_o its_o own_o proper_a place_n 2._o and_o because_o there_o be_v no_o motion_n without_o a_o concitation_n and_o a_o certain_a degree_n of_o velocity_n therefore_o by_o the_o very_a stop_n of_o the_o motion_n a_o new_a motion_n will_v be_v occasion_v but_o weak_a and_o weak_a still_o till_o it_o quite_o faint_a away_o 3._o it_o be_v plain_a too_o that_o the_o very_a same_o must_v of_o necessity_n happen_v in_o air_n if_o its_o part_n be_v either_o condense_v or_o stir_v out_o of_o their_o right_a place_n 4._o again_o it_o appear_v that_o if_o it_o be_v thus_o with_o the_o air_n the_o same_o must_v be_v expect_v too_o of_o any_o weighty_a movable_a that_o be_v carry_v in_o the_o air_n for_o since_o the_o reason_n why_o such_o descend_v not_o perpendicular_o be_v because_o the_o progressive_a motion_n or_o the_o cause_n of_o it_o be_v strong_a than_o the_o cause_n of_o descent_n at_o least_o in_o part_n and_o since_o the_o movable_a have_v of_o itself_o no_o inclination_n this_o or_o that_o way_n it_o must_v needs_o follow_v the_o motion_n of_o the_o air_n that_o be_v next_o it_o but_o since_o a_o dense_a thing_n move_v be_v carry_v more_o forcible_o than_o a_o rare_a body_n in_o which_o it_o be_v the_o rare_a body_n itself_o as_o it_o give_v a_o beginning_n to_o that_o be_v motion_n so_o again_o it_o receive_v a_o advance_v from_o that_o whence_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o both_o the_o air_n and_o the_o movable_a continue_v their_o motion_n long_o than_o the_o air_n alone_o will_v 5._o hence_o again_o it_o appear_v that_o movable_n in_o all_o other_o respect_v alike_o the_o denser_n they_o be_v the_o long_o they_o retain_v their_o motion_n 6._o it_o be_v plain_a therefore_o why_o pendent_n by_o a_o three_o fasten_v above_o wave_n up_o and_o down_o if_o they_o be_v raise_v from_o the_o perpendicular_a and_o then_o let_v drop_v for_o with_o their_o first_o descent_n they_o move_v the_o air_n follow_v it_o when_o it_o ascend_v and_o return_v with_o it_o when_o it_o return_v but_o with_o a_o new_a and_o a_o weak_a impulse_n and_o so_o proceed_v still_o till_o they_o can_v stir_v it_o no_o long_o 7._o it_o appear_v likewise_o that_o if_o a_o movable_a be_v violent_o strike_v against_o a_o hard_a resister_n because_o the_o air_n before_o it_o must_v of_o necessity_n yield_v and_o that_o which_o follow_v it_o push_v it_o on_o it_o will_v follow_v the_o air_n before_o it_o that_o be_v it_o will_v be_v reflect_v from_o the_o hard_a resister_n 8._o and_o this_o make_v equal_a angle_n at_o least_o without_o any_o sensible_a difference_n for_o since_o a_o oblique_a motion_n be_v resolve_v into_o two_o perpendicular_o which_o be_v in_o a_o certain_a proportion_n by_o virtue_n of_o the_o move_a cause_n and_o the_o angle_n be_v cause_v and_o emerge_n out_o of_o this_o proportion_n it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o this_o proportion_n remain_v the_o angle_n of_o the_o result_n or_o reflection_n must_v needs_o be_v the_o same_o with_o that_o of_o the_o impulse_n or_o incidence_n as_o in_o light_n where_o the_o reflection_n diminish_v not_o sensible_o the_o force_n but_o where_o the_o reflection_n notable_o weaken_v the_o force_n the_o angle_n of_o reflection_n will_v be_v proportionable_o lessen_v 9_o but_o if_o the_o resister_n do_v but_o partly_o resist_v and_o partly_o admit_v that_o which_o be_v oblique_o move_v will_v be_v refract_v as_o they_o call_v it_o from_o

all_o the_o experiment_n i_o have_v ever_o hear_v of_o conclude_v no_o such_o thing_n 11._o the_o cause_n of_o restitution_n be_v that_o those_o body_n which_o recover_v themselves_o again_o be_v

because_o either_o the_o condense_v part_n be_v rarify_v by_o the_o expulsion_n of_o some_o of_o they_o or_o else_o time_n have_v beget_v some_o stiffness_n by_o the_o concretion_n of_o the_o part_n
