they_o be_v move_v be_v great_a than_o the_o distance_n of_o the_o great_a weight_n from_o the_o same_o point_n for_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o the_o weight_n which_o be_v more_o distant_a must_v be_v move_v a_o great_a space_n than_o the_o near_a weight_n in_o the_o proportion_n of_o the_o two_o distance_n wherefore_o the_o force_n move_v it_o must_v carry_v it_o in_o a_o velocity_n of_o the_o

out_o of_o this_o practice_n of_o geometrician_n in_o mechanic_n which_o be_v confirm_v by_o experience_n it_o be_v make_v evident_a that_o if_o other_o condition_n be_v equal_a the_o excess_n of_o

another_o follow_v which_o be_v that_o nothing_o rece_v from_o quiet_a or_o rest_n and_o attain_v a_o great_a degree_n of_o celerity_n but_o it_o must_v pass_v through_o all_o the_o degree_n of_o

the_o intermediate_v degree_n of_o velocity_n for_o by_o the_o declaration_n of_o velocity_n which_o we_o have_v even_o now_o make_v we_o see_v that_o there_o be_v as_o much_o resistance_n in_o the_o

say_v the_o force_n of_o the_o agent_n in_o counterpoise_n ought_v to_o be_v increase_v as_o much_o as_o the_o line_n of_o extent_n of_o the_o medium_fw-la which_o be_v to_o be_v overcome_v by_o the_o

line_n of_o extent_n can_v be_v overcome_v in_o a_o instant_n it_o follow_v that_o no_o defect_n of_o velocity_n which_o require_v as_o great_a a_o superproportion_n in_o the_o cause_n can_v be_v overcome_v likewise_o in_o a_o instant_n and_o by_o the_o same_o reason_n by_o which_o we_o prove_v that_o a_o movable_n can_v be_v draw_v in_o a_o instant_n from_o a_o low_a degree_n of_o velocity_n to_o a_o high_a it_o be_v with_o no_o less_o evidence_n conclude_v that_o no_o degree_n of_o velocity_n can_v be_v attain_v in_o a_o instant_n for_o divide_v that_o degree_n of_o velocity_n into_o two_o half_n and_o if_o the_o agent_n have_v overcome_v the_o one_o half_a he_o can_v not_o overcome_v the_o other_o half_a in_o a_o instant_n much_o less_o therefore_o be_v he_o able_a to_o overcome_v the_o whole_a that_o be_v to_o reduce_v the_o movable_a from_o quiet_a to_o the_o say_a degree_n of_o velocity_n in_o a_o instant_n another_o reason_n may_v be_v because_o the_o mover_n themselves_o such_o mover_n as_o we_o treat_v of_o here_o be_v body_n likewise_o move_v and_o consist_v of_o part_n whereof_o not_o every_o one_o part_n but_o a_o competent_a number_n of_o they_o make_v the_o move_a body_n a_o fit_a agent_n able_a to_o move_v the_o propose_a body_n in_o a_o propose_a degree_n of_o celerity_n now_o this_o agent_n meet_v with_o resistance_n in_o the_o movable_a and_o not_o be_v in_o the_o utmost_a extremity_n of_o density_n but_o condensable_a yet_o further_o because_o it_o be_v a_o body_n and_o every_o resistance_n be_v it_o never_o so_o small_a work_v something_o upon_o the_o mover_n though_o never_o so_o hard_a to_o condense_a it_o the_o part_n of_o the_o mover_n that_o be_v to_o overcome_v this_o resistance_n in_o the_o movable_a must_v to_o work_v that_o effect_n be_v condense_v and_o bring_v together_o as_o close_o as_o be_v needful_a by_o this_o resistance_n of_o the_o movable_a to_o the_o mover_n and_o so_o the_o remote_a part_n of_o the_o mover_n become_v near_o to_o the_o movable_a which_o can_v be_v do_v but_o successive_o because_o it_o enclud'_v local_a motion_n and_o this_o application_n be_v likewise_o divisible_a and_o not_o all_o the_o part_n flock_v together_o in_o a_o instant_n to_o the_o place_n where_o they_o be_v to_o exercise_v their_o power_n it_o follow_v that_o while_o there_o be_v few_o move_a part_n

it_o be_v evident_a that_o all_o motion_n which_o have_v a_o beginning_n must_v of_o necessity_n increase_v for_o some_o time_n and_o since_o the_o work_n of_o nature_n be_v
dense_n signify_v nothing_o else_o but_o that_o it_o be_v in_o such_o a_o degree_n of_o density_n that_o some_o of_o its_o own_o part_n by_o their_o be_v assist_v and_o set_v on_o work_n by_o a_o

a_o conceit_n of_o that_o nothing_o as_o for_o the_o second_o it_o be_v very_o uncertain_a whether_o any_o such_o point_n be_v in_o nature_n for_o as_o for_o the_o centre_n of_o the_o earthy_a it_o

now_o another_o be_v the_o centre_n to_o which_o it_o shall_v tend_v again_o let_v we_o consider_v that_o a_o quality_n have_v a_o determinate_a essence_n then_o see_v its_o power_n be_v to_o move_v &_o to_o move_v signify_v to_o cut_v the_o medium_fw-la it_o be_v move_v in_o it_o belong_v to_o it_o of_o its_o nature_n to_o cut_v so_o much_o of_o such_o a_o medium_fw-la in_o such_o a_o time_n

since_o it_o be_v demonstrate_v that_o a_o movable_a come_n from_o rest_n must_v of_o necessity_n pass_v through_o all_o degree_n of_o tardity_n and_o therefore_o by_o the_o demonstration_n cite_v

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

some_o tough_a other_o brittle_a and_o the_o like_a of_o which_o the_o liquid_a the_o soft_a the_o fat_a and_o the_o viscuous_a be_v so_o manifest_o derive_v from_o rarity_n that_o we_o need_v not_o

consistent_a hard_a lean_a and_o gritty_a all_o which_o evident_o spring_v from_o density_n as_o for_o smoothness_n we_o have_v already_o show_v how_o that_o proceed_v from_o a_o airy_a or_o oily_a nature_n and_o by_o consequence_n from_o a_o certain_a degree_n of_o rarity_n and_o therefore_o roughness_n the_o contrary_a of_o it_o must_v proceed_v from_o a_o proportionable_a degree_n of_o

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

make_v heat_n cold_a moisture_n and_o dryness_n and_o in_o a_o word_n the_o four_o element_n it_o be_v evident_a that_o wherever_o there_o be_v variety_n of_o body_n there_o must_v be_v the_o four_o element_n though_o peradventure_o far_o unlike_o these_o miked_a body_n which_o we_o call_v element_n and_o again_o because_o these_o element_n can_v consist_v without_o motion_n and_o by_o motion_n they_o of_o necessity_n produce_v mix_v body_n and_o forge_v out_o those_o quality_n which_o we_o come_v from_o explicate_v it_o must_v by_o like_a necessity_n follow_v that_o wherever_o there_o be_v

since_o than_o it_o can_v be_v deny_v but_o that_o there_o must_v be_v notable_a variety_n of_o active_a and_o passive_a body_n wherever_o there_o be_v light_a neither_o can_v it_o be_v deny_v but_o

which_o neither_o be_v in_o effect_n a_o touch_v as_o we_o have_v show_v no_o other_o part_n of_o they_o can_v touch_v though_o still_o they_o approach_v near_o and_o near_o till_o their_o whole_a

and_o thus_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o no_o two_o body_n can_v arrive_v to_o touch_v one_o another_o unless_o one_o of_o they_o at_o the_o least_o have_v a_o superficies_n pliable_a to_o the_o

to_o two_o such_o a_o liquid_a and_o a_o hard_a body_n be_v soon_o unite_v but_o two_o hard_a one_o most_o difficult_o to_o proceed_v then_o with_o our_o reflection_n upon_o the_o composition_n general_n of_o body_n and_o upon_o what_o result_v out_o of_o the_o join_n and_o mixture_n of_o their_o first_o difference_n rarity_n and_o density_n we_o see_v how_o if_o a_o liquid_a substance_n

and_o stick_v to_o they_o both_o become_v like_o a_o glue_v to_o hold_v they_o together_o will_v it_o not_o follow_v out_o of_o what_o we_o have_v say_v that_o these_o two_o dense_a part_n will_v be_v as_o hard_a to_o be_v sever_v from_o one_o another_o as_o the_o small_a liquid_a part_n by_o which_o they_o stick_v together_o be_v to_o be_v divide_v so_o that_o when_o the_o viscuous_a ligament_n which_o in_o a_o body_n hold_v together_o the_o dense_a part_n be_v so_o small_a and_o subtle_a as_o no_o force_n we_o can_v apply_v can_v divide_v they_o the_o adhesion_n of_o the_o part_n must_v

themselves_o ready_a to_o fall_v in_o piece_n and_o thus_o you_o see_v how_o in_o general_a
necessity_n happen_v that_o in_o the_o air_n there_o come_v atom_n to_o the_o torrid_a zone_n of_o that_o grossness_n that_o they_o can_v sudden_o be_v so_o much_o rarify_v as_o the_o subtle_a part_n

and_o so_o have_v no_o gravity_n now_o who_o consider_v the_o two_o hemisphere_n which_o by_o the_o another_o equator_fw-la be_v divide_v will_v find_v that_o they_o be_v not_o altogether_o of_o
