can_v strike_v it_o but_o it_o be_v evident_a say_v you_o out_o of_o these_o pretend_a cause_n of_o this_o motion_n that_o such_o atom_n can_v move_v so_o swift_o downward_o as_o a_o great_a dense_a

that_o degree_n of_o velocity_n further_o than_o the_o descend_a body_n if_o they_o do_v not_o encounter_v with_o it_o in_o their_o way_n to_o retard_v they_o which_o encounter_n and_o tard_n imply_v such_o stroke_n upon_o the_o dense_a body_n as_o we_o suppose_v to_o cause_v this_o motion_n and_o the_o like_a we_o see_v in_o water_n into_o which_o let_v a_o stone_n fall_v present_o the_o water_n

these_o principle_n it_o follow_v that_o there_o will_v not_o and_o consequent_o there_o must_v be_v a_o vast_a orb_n in_o which_o there_o will_v be_v no_o motion_n of_o gravity_n or_o levity_n for_o suppose_v the_o sun_n beam_n may_v pierce_v a_o thousand_o mile_n deep_a into_o the_o body_n of_o the_o earth_n yet_o there_o will_v still_o remain_v a_o mass_n who_o diameter_n will_v be_v near_o

as_o it_o do_v in_o the_o heat_n of_o the_o day_n the_o same_o may_v be_v say_v of_o summer_n and_o winter_n for_o in_o winter_n time_n the_o atom_n seem_v to_o be_v more_o gross_a and_o consequent_o to_o strike_v more_o strong_o upon_o the_o body_n they_o meet_v with_o in_o their_o way_n as_o they_o descend_v yet_o on_o the_o other_o side_n they_o seem_v in_o the_o summer_n to_o be_v more_o numerous_a as_o also_o to_o descend_v from_o a_o great_a height_n both_o which_o circumstance_n will_v be_v cause_n of_o a_o strong_a stroke_n and_o more_o vigorous_a impulse_n on_o the_o body_n they_o hit_v and_o the_o like_a may_v be_v object_v of_o divers_a part_n of_o the_o world_n for_o in_o the_o torrid_a zone_n it_o will_v always_o happen_v as_o in_o summer_n in_o place_n of_o the_o

depend_v upon_o so_o mutable_a a_o cause_n and_o it_o make_v to_o the_o same_o effect_n that_o a_o body_n which_o lie_v under_o a_o thick_a rock_n or_o any_o other_o very_o dense_a body_n that_o can_v

have_v their_o full_a stroke_n for_o answer_v to_o these_o and_o such_o like_a instance_n we_o be_v to_o note_v first_o that_o it_o be_v not_o so_o much_o the_o number_n or_o violence_n of_o the_o percussion_n of_o the_o strike_a atom_n as_o the_o density_n of_o the_o thing_n strike_v which_o give_v the_o measure_n to_o the_o descend_v of_o a_o weighty_a body_n and_o the_o chief_a thing_n which_o the_o stroke_n of_o the_o atom_n give_v to_o a_o dense_a body_n be_v a_o determination_n of_o the_o way_n which_o a_o dense_a body_n be_v to_o cut_v to_o itself_o therefore_o multiplication_n or_o lessen_v of_o the_o atom_n will_v not_o make_v any_o sensible_a difference_n betwixt_o the_o weight_n of_o one_o dense_a body_n where_o manya_n tom_n strike_v and_o a_o other_o body_n of_o the_o same_o density_n where_o but_o a_o few_o strike_v so_o that_o the_o stroke_n downward_o of_o the_o descend_a atom_n be_v great_a than_o the_o stroke_n upward_o of_o the_o ascend_a atom_n and_o thereby_o determine_v it_o to_o weigh_v to_o the_o centreward_n and_o not_o rise_v float_v upward_o which_o be_v all_o the_o sensible_a effect_n we_o can_v perceive_v next_o we_o may_v observe_v that_o the_o first_o particular_n of_o the_o objection_n do_v not_o reach_v home_o to_o enfeeble_v our_o doctrine_n in_o this_o particular_a although_o we_o admit_v they_o to_o be_v in_o such_o sort_n as_o they_o be_v propose_v for_o they_o withal_o imply_v such_o a_o perpetual_a variation_n of_o cause_n ever_o favourable_a to_o our_o position_n that_o nothing_o can_v be_v infer_v out_o of_o they_o to_o repugn_v against_o it_o as_o thus_o when_o there_o be_v many_o atom_n descend_v in_o the_o air_n the_o same_o general_a cause_n which_o make_v they_o be_v many_o make_v they_o also_o be_v light_n in_o proportion_n to_o their_o multitude_n and_o so_o when_o they_o be_v few_o they_o be_v heavy_a likewise_o when_o the_o atom_n be_v light_a the_o air_n be_v rarify_v and_o thin_a and_o when_o they_o be_v heavy_a the_o air_n be_v thick_a and_o so_o upon_o the_o whole_a matter_n it_o be_v evident_a that_o we_o can_v make_v such_o a_o precise_a and_o exact_a judgement_n of_o the_o variety_n of_o circumstance_n as_o to_o be_v able_a to_o determine_v when_o there_o be_v absolute_o more_o cause_n of_o weight_n and_o when_o less_o and_o as_o we_o find_v not_o weight_n enough_o in_o either_o

may_v be_v conceive_v to_o be_v more_o or_o less_o impartible_a than_o it_o be_v active_a or_o heavy_a a_o for_o example_n let_v we_o of_o a_o dense_a element_n take_v any_o one_o lest_o part_n

so_o water_n in_o a_o pail_n because_o it_o be_v thereby_o ●hindered_a from_o spread_v abroad_o have_v the_o effect_n of_o gravity_n predominate_v in_o it_o but_o if_o it_o be_v pour_v out_o it_o

therefore_o we_o say_v it_o have_v more_o gravity_n than_o density_n though_o it_o be_v the_o very_a density_n of_o it_o which_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o make_v it_o partible_a by_o the_o work_n of_o

to_o savour_v of_o their_o origine_fw-la for_o the_o most_o manifest_a quality_n of_o body_n may_v be_v reduce_v to_o certain_a pair_n opposite_a to_o one_o another_o as_o namely_o some_o be_v

to_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o certain_a determination_n of_o rarity_n and_o density_n and_o thus_o we_o see_v how_o the_o several_a complexion_n of_o body_n be_v reduce_v to_o the_o four_o
