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

form_v for_o if_o the_o effect_n of_o such_o a_o emanation_n of_o shine_a body_n be_v examine_v it_o will_v very_o plain_o exhibit_v the_o exact_a and_o true_a apparent_a figure_n of_o comet_n as_o they_o may_v be_v see_v through_o a_o good_a telescope_n which_o be_v to_o i_o a_o very_a great_a argument_n that_o it_o be_v the_o genuine_a cause_n of_o its_o shape_n and_o figure_n now_o though_o the_o comet_n appearance_n be_v this_o way_n cause_v and_o so_o a_o man_n may_v conceive_v the_o globous_a body_n will_v in_o a_o little_a time_n by_o so_o copious_a a_o emanation_n be_v consume_v yet_o i_o do_v not_o believe_v that_o it_o do_v in_o a_o short_a time_n waste_v and_o disperse_v the_o whole_a ball_n nor_o can_v i_o conceive_v that_o the_o disappear_v of_o those_o blaze_a body_n towards_o the_o latter_a end_n do_v depend_v upon_o their_o dissolution_n though_o possible_o that_o may_v somewhat_o diminish_v they_o but_o that_o rather_o be_v to_o be_v ascribe_v to_o their_o distance_n and_o position_n in_o respect_n of_o we_o though_o this_o i_o remember_v i_o observe_v very_o manifest_o in_o that_o of_o 1664._o that_o the_o body_n towards_o the_o latter_a end_n of_o its_o appear_v be_v very_o much_o less_o in_o proportion_n to_o the_o radiation_n about_o it_o than_o it_o seem_v to_o be_v at_o the_o beginning_n but_o whether_o that_o may_v not_o be_v partly_o ascribe_v to_o the_o great_a distance_n it_o then_o be_v from_o we_o and_o the_o turn_n of_o the_o head_n pretty_a near_o towards_o we_o and_o thence_o the_o spread_a of_o the_o tail_n appear_v beyond_o it_o may_v add_v to_o the_o breadth_n of_o the_o radiation_n about_o the_o nucleus_n i_o will_v not_o positive_o determine_v now_o though_o for_o explication_n sake_n i_o have_v compare_v the_o part_n separate_v from_o the_o body_n of_o the_o comet_n to_o blaze_a granade_n or_o fire-ball_n yet_o i_o will_v not_o be_v understand_v to_o suppose_v these_o part_n so_o separate_v to_o be_v of_o any_o very_a large_a bulk_n for_o i_o see_v no_o necessity_n to_o suppose_v they_o big_a than_o the_o atom_n of_o smoke_n or_o the_o particle_n of_o any_o other_o steam_a body_n or_o than_o the_o part_n of_o the_o air_n which_o make_v the_o body_n of_o it_o appear_v thick_a and_o hazy_a nor_o do_v i_o believe_v that_o all_o the_o light_n of_o the_o star_n head_n and_o blaze_n do_v depend_v only_o upon_o the_o shine_a of_o the_o dissolve_v body_n and_o particle_n thereof_o but_o i_o do_v suppose_v that_o it_o do_v proceed_v both_o from_o the_o reflection_n of_o the_o sunbeam_n from_o those_o part_n and_o also_o from_o a_o innate_a and_o momentaneous_a light_n produce_v by_o the_o action_n of_o dissolution_n wrought_v on_o the_o part_n by_o the_o encompass_v aether_n it_o may_v possible_o seem_v very_o difficult_a to_o suppose_v that_o the_o dissolution_n of_o the_o part_n of_o the_o nucleus_n by_o the_o encompass_v aether_n shall_v cause_v or_o impress_v so_o violent_a a_o motion_n into_o the_o separate_a part_n as_o to_o make_v they_o depart_v from_o it_o to_o the_o space_n of_o four_o or_o five_o diameter_n before_o it_o be_v overpower_v by_o the_o power_n of_o levitation_n from_o the_o body_n of_o the_o sun_n and_o so_o deflect_v into_o a_o parabolical_a line_n upward_o it_o may_v likewise_o seem_v strange_a to_o suppose_v that_o the_o aether_n shall_v have_v such_o power_n in_o it_o as_o first_o to_o dissolve_v a_o body_n into_o itself_o and_o second_o to_o cause_v a_o shine_a and_o three_o to_o cause_v a_o levitation_n of_o the_o dissolve_a part_n upward_o whereas_o i_o suppose_v before_o and_o i_o think_v it_o be_v very_o manifest_a that_o they_o cause_v a_o gravitation_n downward_o towards_o the_o centre_n of_o the_o sun_n but_o to_o these_o for_o explication_n i_o answer_v that_o we_o need_v not_o go_v far_o for_o instance_n to_o make_v these_o thing_n probable_a the_o atmosphere_n about_o the_o earth_n as_o i_o have_v former_o mention_v in_o my_o micrographia_fw-la i_o take_v to_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o the_o dissolution_n of_o the_o part_n of_o the_o earth_n into_o the_o encompass_v aether_n for_o the_o proof_n of_o which_o i_o can_v bring_v many_o argument_n be_v it_o here_o a_o proper_a place_n by_o which_o i_o can_v most_o evident_o demonstrate_v the_o thing_n to_o be_v as_o i_o have_v assert_v it_o be_v here_o evident_a that_o this_o aether_n do_v take_v up_o the_o particle_n of_o body_n to_o a_o very_a great_a distance_n from_o the_o surface_n from_o which_o they_o be_v separate_v and_o it_o do_v not_o only_o raise_v they_o but_o sustein_v they_o at_o those_o height_n nor_o be_v this_o peculiar_a only_o to_o the_o aether_n when_o a_o menstruum_fw-la but_o to_o all_o dissolve_v menstruum_n in_o general_n as_o to_o give_v one_o instance_n in_o stead_n of_o many_o we_o find_v that_o gold_n the_o heavy_a of_o all_o terrestrial_a body_n we_o yet_o know_v be_v dissolve_v by_o aqua_fw-la regis_fw-la
