those_o who_o pretend_v the_o power_n we_o have_v of_o move_v our_o arm_n be_v a_o true_a power_n must_v confess_v that_o god_n can_v also_o give_v to_o spirit_n the_o power_n of_o create_v

suppose_v the_o rest_n to_o be_v form_v very_o near_o after_o the_o same_o manner_n i_o instruct_v myself_o of_o its_o composition_n by_o the_o help_n of_o some_o book_n of_o anatomy_n or_o rather_o by_o a_o sensible_a sight_n of_o its_o fibre_n and_o tendon_n which_o i_o get_v some_o able_a anatomist_n to_o dissect_v for_o i_o to_o who_o i_o make_v all_o the_o demand_n which_o shall_v

motion_n of_o my_o arm_n depend_v upon_o the_o contraction_n of_o the_o muscle_n which_o compose_v it_o and_o if_o i_o have_v not_o a_o mind_n to_o perplex_v myself_o with_o too_o many_o thing_n i_o may_v suppose_v according_a to_o the_o common_a opinion_n that_o this_o contraction_n be_v produce_v by_o the_o animal_n spirit_n which_o fill_v these_o muscle_n and_o by_o this_o mean_n shorten_v they_o the_o whole_a question_n then_o which_o respect_v voluntary_a motion_n will_v be_v reduce_v to_o know_v how_o the_o few_o animal_n spirit_n which_o be_v contain_v in_o a_o arm_n can_v sudden_o

with_o any_o application_n the_o first_o mean_n that_o present_v itself_o to_o the_o imagination_n be_v common_o that_o of_o some_o violent_a and_o quick_a fermentation_n like_v to_o that_o of_o

encompass_n and_o compress_n they_o since_o the_o two_o other_o thing_n that_o we_o can_v think_v to_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o this_o union_n be_v not_o true_o so_o as_o we_o have_v already_o see_v for_o since_o i_o find_v resistance_n enough_o in_o break_v a_o piece_n of_o iron_n and_o that_o this_o resistance_n proceed_v neither_o from_o the_o iron_n nor_o the_o will_n of_o god_n as_o i_o

nevertheless_o i_o shall_v further_o give_v some_o positive_a proof_n of_o this_o opinion_n after_o i_o have_v explain_v it_o more_o at_o large_a by_o some_o example_n take_v a_o globe_n of_o any_o hard_a metal_n which_o be_v hollow_a within_o cut_v it_o into_o two_o hemisphere_n and_o join_v these_o two_o hemisphere_n with_o a_o little_a wax_n at_o the_o place_n of_o their_o union_n and_o exhaust_v the_o air_n out_o of_o it_o these_o two_o hemisphere_n join_v one_o to_o the_o other_o after_o this_o manner_n if_o many_o horse_n be_v fasten_v to_o they_o some_o on_o one_o side_n and_o some_o on_o the_o other_o can_v not_o be_v separate_v by_o they_o suppose_v the_o magnitude_n of_o the_o hemisphere_n to_o be_v in_o proportion_n to_o the_o number_n of_o horse_n yet_o if_o we_o suffer_v the_o air_n to_o re-enter_v one_o person_n alone_o can_v separate_v they_o without_o any_o difficulty_n it_o be_v easy_a to_o conclude_v from_o this_o instance_n that_o what_o so_o strong_o unite_v these_o two_o hemisphere_n proceed_v from_o their_o be_v compress_v and_o surround_v
upon_o their_o external_n and_o convex_a surface_n by_o the_o air_n which_o environ_n they_o whilst_o there_o be_v no_o counterpressure_n in_o their_o internal_a and_o concave_a surface_n so_o that_o the_o action_n of_o the_o horse_n that_o draw_v the_o two_o hemisphere_n on_o both_o side_n can_v not_o overcome_v the_o effort_n of_o a_o infinite_a number_n of_o little_a particle_n of_o the_o air_n that_o resist_v they_o by_o press_v these_o two_o hemisphere_n together_o but_o the_o least_o force_n be_v capable_a of_o separate_v they_o when_o the_o air_n be_v enter_v again_o within_o the_o sphere_n push_v the_o concave_a and_o internal_a surface_n as_o much_o as_o the_o air_n without_o press_v the_o external_n and_o convex_a one_o but_o if_o on_o the_o contrary_a we_o take_v a_o carp_n bladder_n and_o put_v it_o in_o a_o vessel_n from_o whence_o all_o the_o air_n have_v be_v exhaust_v this_o bladder_n be_v full_a of_o air_n will_v crack_v and_o break_v because_o then_o there_o be_v no_o air_n without_o the_o bladder_n to_o resist_v that_o which_o be_v within_o it_o be_v likewise_o the_o same_o reason_n that_o i_o have_v give_v for_o the_o first_o experiment_n that_o two_o

these_o two_o part_n of_o marble_n be_v press_v and_o constringe_v by_o the_o external_n air_n which_o encompass_n they_o and_o be_v not_o so_o strong_o push_v by_o it_o within_o i_o may_v bring_v a_o infinite_a number_n of_o other_o experiment_n to_o prove_v that_o the_o gross_a air_n which_o environ_n body_n strong_o unite_v their_o part_n but_o what_o i_o have_v say_v may_v suffice_v clear_o to_o explain_v my_o thought_n upon_o the_o present_a question_n i_o say_v then_o that_o which_o so_o strong_o unite_v the_o part_n of_o hard_a body_n and_o these_o little_a link_n i_o have_v before_o

some_o trouble_v to_o separate_v they_o be_v not_o their_o rest_n but_o the_o agitation_n of_o these_o little_a body_n which_o surround_v they_o so_o that_o what_o resist_v motion_n be_v not_o rest_n which_o be_v only_o a_o privation_n and_o have_v no_o power_n of_o itself_o but_o some_o contrary_a motion_n this_o bare_a exposition_n of_o my_o opinion_n perhaps_o seem_v reasonable_a yet_o i_o well_o foresee_v that_o many_o person_n will_v have_v some_o difficulty_n to_o receive_v it_o hard_a body_n make_v so_o great_a a_o impression_n upon_o our_o sense_n when_o they_o strike_v we_o or_o

the_o difficulty_n we_o have_v to_o imagine_v body_n small_a and_o more_o agitate_a than_o those_o we_o see_v every_o day_n we_o must_v consider_v that_o the_o hardness_n of_o body_n must_v not_o be_v

therefore_o his_o first_o element_n be_v much_o more_o agitate_a than_o the_o second_o and_o the_o second_o than_o the_o three_o but_o the_o cause_n of_o it_o be_v clear_a without_o have_v any_o regard_n to_o his_o supposition_n little_o and_o fluid_a body_n as_o water_n air_n etc._n etc._n can_v only_o communicate_v to_o great_a body_n a_o uniform_a motion_n which_o be_v common_a to_o all_o their_o part_n the_o water_n in_o a_o river_n can_v only_o communicate_v to_o a_o boat_n the_o motion_n of_o descent_n which_o be_v common_a to_o all_o the_o little_a part_n of_o which_o the_o water_n be_v compose_v and_o every_o one_o of_o these_o part_n beside_o this_o common_a motion_n have_v also_o a_o infinite_a number_n of_o other_o particular_n thus_o by_o this_o reason_n it_o be_v plain_a that_o a_o boat_n for_o instance_n can_v never_o have_v so_o much_o motion_n as_o a_o equal_a bulk_n of_o water_n since_o the_o boat_n can_v only_o receive_v from_o the_o water_n that_o motion_n which_o be_v direct_a and_o common_a to_o all_o the_o part_n that_o compose_v it_o if_o twenty_o particle_n of_o a_o fluid_a body_n push_v any_o other_o body_n on_o the_o one_o side_n and_o as_o

their_o motion_n thus_o great_a body_n who_o part_n be_v unite_v can_v only_o receive_v the_o circular_a and_o uniform_a motion_n of_o the_o vortex_n of_o the_o subtle_a matter_n which_o environ_n they_o this_o reason_n seem_v sufficient_a to_o they_o to_o make_v it_o comprehend_v how_o great_a body_n be_v not_o so_o much_o agitate_a as_o the_o lesser_a and_o that_o there_o be_v a_o necessity_n for_o a_o explanation_n of_o these_o thing_n to_o suppose_v any_o force_n in_o rest_n to_o resist_v motion_n the_o certainty_n of_o descartes_n principle_n can_v be_v a_o sufficient_a proof_n to_o

the_o hardness_n of_o body_n only_o to_o the_o rest_n of_o their_o part_n and_o their_o elasticity_n to_o the_o force_n of_o a_o subtle_a matter_n here_o follow_v now_o the_o rule_n of_o the_o

since_o they_o be_v only_o hard_a by_o the_o pressure_n of_o the_o subtle_a matter_n which_o surround_v they_o if_o two_o body_n meet_v they_o will_v flatten_a without_o rebound_v we_o must_v therefore_o give_v these_o rule_n suppose_v they_o hard_o of_o themselves_o and_o not_o by_o the_o pressure_n of_o this_o subtle_a matter_n rest_v have_v no_o power_n to_o resist_v motion_n and_o

prevent_v his_o reason_n a_o huntsman_n when_o hungry_a expect_v or_o actual_o find_v something_o to_o eat_v actual_o feel_v joy_n now_o this_o joy_n be_v a_o pleasure_n which_o follow_v the_o knowledge_n he_o have_v of_o his_o present_a or_o future_a good_a it_o be_v perhaps_o evident_a by_o this_o distinction_n of_o pleasure_n into_o that_o which_o follow_v and_o precede_v reason_n that_o there_o be_v neither_o of_o they_o but_o differ_v from_o love_n for_o that_o pleasure_n which_o precede_v reason_n certain_o precede_v love_n since_o it_o precede_v all_o knowledge_n which_o in_o some_o degree_n or_o other_o be_v always_o suppose_a by_o love_n and_o on_o the_o contrary_a joy_n or_o pleasure_n which_o suppose_v knowledge_n also_o suppose_v love_n since_o joy_n suppose_v the_o
