susceptible_a of_o a_o much_o more_o subtle_a impulse_n even_o from_o light_n itself_o as_o the_o bononian_n stone_n and_o bladwine_v phsophorus_n which_o seem_v to_o be_v so_o harmonious_a as_o i_o may_v so_o speak_v to_o the_o motion_n of_o light_n that_o a_o new_a motion_n be_v thereby_o raise_v in_o it_o and_z continues_z for_o some_o time_n to_o move_v of_o itself_o after_o the_o impulse_n or_o influence_n cease_v not_o much_o unlike_o the_o unison_n string_n or_o other_o sound_a body_n which_o in_o music_n receive_v a_o tremulation_n and_o sound_n from_o the_o motion_n and_o sound_n of_o the_o unison_n body_n or_o string_n that_o be_v strike_v to_o i_o it_o seem_v most_o probable_a that_o the_o body_n and_o part_n of_o the_o comet_n be_v in_o a_o state_n of_o dissolution_n whether_o that_o dissolution_n be_v cause_v by_o the_o part_n of_o the_o aether_n through_o which_o it_o pass_v after_o the_o manner_n as_o a_o torch_n be_v dissolve_v by_o the_o air_n or_o whether_o by_o the_o internal_a work_n of_o the_o constituent_a part_n one_o upon_o the_o other_o as_o in_o gunpowder_n shine_v fish_n and_o rot_a wood_n i_o can_v determine_v but_o i_o rather_o guess_v it_o to_o be_v in_o some_o thing_n analogous_a to_o the_o one_o and_o somewhat_o to_o the_o other_o though_o not_o exact_o the_o same_o with_o either_o and_o this_o i_o conceive_v from_o the_o figure_n and_o make_v of_o the_o shine_a part_n for_o if_o it_o have_v be_v of_o the_o same_o nature_n with_o a_o torch_n the_o blaze_n will_v have_v resemble_v that_o of_o the_o flame_n of_o a_o torch_n or_o candle_n that_o be_v the_o side_n will_v have_v be_v bright_a and_o the_o middle_a darker_n as_o i_o have_v show_v in_o my_o lampas_n whereas_o it_o be_v very_o manifest_a that_o the_o middle_n of_o the_o blaze_n be_v bright_a and_o of_o that_o blaze_n that_o which_o be_v next_o the_o star_n or_o nucleus_n be_v bright_a than_o that_o which_o be_v further_o off_o whereas_o in_o flame_n the_o contrary_n be_v very_o observable_a as_o i_o have_v in_o the_o say_a treatise_n show_v from_o the_o shape_n of_o the_o figure_n the_o manner_n of_o its_o dissolution_n seem_v to_o be_v thus_o the_o star_n or_o nucleus_n in_o the_o middle_n seem_v to_o be_v the_o foam_v or_o source_n from_o whence_o all_o the_o light_n proceed_v this_o we_o suppose_v to_o be_v a_o dense_a body_n encompass_v with_o a_o very_a fluid_fw-la body_n such_o as_o the_o aether_n seem_v to_o be_v but_o of_o such_o a_o loose_a and_o spungy_a nature_n as_o that_o the_o aether_n do_v cause_v those_o part_n which_o be_v contiguous_a to_o it_o to_o be_v dissolve_v and_o expanded_a into_o itself_o this_o dissolution_n and_o expansion_n i_o conceive_v do_v generate_v or_o cause_v the_o light_n that_o seem_v to_o proceed_v from_o it_o that_o dissolution_n cause_v such_o a_o motion_n of_o the_o aether_n as_o be_v necessary_a to_o produce_v the_o appearance_n of_o light_n now_o so_o long_o as_o any_o part_n thereof_o remain_v in_o dissolution_n so_o long_o do_v it_o continue_v to_o shine_v as_o be_v also_o observable_a in_o the_o flame_n of_o any_o body_n burn_v in_o the_o air_n but_o when_o the_o part_n separate_v from_o the_o body_n be_v quite_o dissolve_v into_o the_o aether_n the_o effect_n of_o shine_v cease_v as_o it_o do_v also_o in_o the_o part_n of_o flame_n now_o i_o have_v observe_v that_o the_o blaze_n be_v so_o very_a much_o rarify_v that_o first_o the_o aether_n i_o conceive_v come_v very_o free_o to_o every_o particle_n of_o the_o body_n after_o it_o be_v separate_v from_o it_o but_o especial_o to_o the_o outermost_a and_o continue_v to_o be_v encompass_v with_o it_o so_o long_o as_o till_o it_o be_v quite_o dissolve_v into_o it_o which_o i_o conceive_v to_o be_v at_o a_o little_o far_a distance_n from_o the_o head_n than_o the_o great_a length_n of_o the_o blaze_n seem_v to_o be_v to_o our_o sight_n and_o further_o i_o conceive_v that_o the_o outward_a part_n be_v thus_o encompass_v more_o perfect_o with_o the_o free_a and_o undisturbed_a aether_n be_v soon_o dissolve_v into_o it_o than_o those_o of_o the_o middle_n and_o consequent_o the_o side_n seem_v first_o to_o disappear_v and_o the_o middle_a part_n continue_v their_o shine_a to_o a_o much_o great_a distance_n from_o the_o star_n in_o the_o head_n though_o somewhat_o also_o of_o that_o appearance_n may_v be_v ascribe_v to_o the_o disperse_v and_o rarity_n of_o the_o part_n near_o the_o side_n the_o nucleus_n or_o ball_n in_o the_o middle_n of_o the_o head_n which_o i_o have_v call_v the_o star_n i_o conceive_v to_o be_v dissolve_v equal_o on_o all_o side_n and_o the_o part_n which_o be_v dissolve_v or_o separate_v from_o it_o i_o conceive_v to_o fly_v every_o way_n from_o the_o centre_n of_o it_o with_o pretty_a near_o equal_a celerity_n or_o power_n like_v so_o many_o blaze_a granade_n or_o fire-ball_n these_o continue_v their_o motion_n so_o far_o towards_o the_o way_n they_o be_v shoot_v till_o the_o levitation_n from_o the_o body_n of_o the_o sun_n deflect_v they_o upward_o or_o in_o opposition_n to_o the_o sun_n into_o a_o parabolic_a curve_v in_o which_o parabolic_v curve_v every_o single_a particle_n continue_v its_o motion_n till_o it_o be_v whole_o burn_v out_o or_o dissolve_v into_o the_o aether_n these_o be_v continual_o succeed_v by_o new_a separation_n from_o the_o aforesaid_a body_n in_o the_o same_o manner_n as_o it_o be_v observable_a in_o a_o burn_a steam_a or_o smoke_a body_n in_o our_o air_n or_o a_o dissolve_v body_n encompass_v with_o its_o proper_a menstruum_fw-la as_o i_o before_o mention_v and_o will_v so_o continue_v until_o the_o whole_a be_v at_o length_n dissolve_v into_o the_o aether_n through_o which_o it_o pass_v it_o have_v be_v demonstrate_v by_o torricellius_n of_o bullet_n or_o other_o body_n cast_v or_o shoot_v upward_o that_o the_o same_o or_o equal_a bullet_n discharge_v or_o shoot_v out_o from_o the_o
