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

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

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

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

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

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

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

which_o have_v a_o great_a proportion_n of_o fire_n in_o it_o for_o as_o in_o rarefaction_n we_o find_v that_o fire_n which_o be_v either_o within_o or_o without_o the_o body_n to_o be_v rarify_v do_v

question_n be_v why_o a_o loadstone_n seem_v to_o love_v iron_n another_o better_o than_o another_o loadstone_n the_o answer_n be_v because_o iron_n be_v indifferent_a in_o all_o its_o part_n to_o receive_v the_o impression_n of_o a_o loadstone_n whereas_o another_o loadstone_n receive_v it_o only_o in_o a_o determinate_a part_n and_o therefore_o a_o loadstone_n draw_v iron_n more_o easy_o

more_o strong_o the_o loadstone_n will_v be_v move_v to_o it_o and_o the_o more_o forcible_o stick_v to_o it_o the_o reason_n of_o all_o these_o three_o we_o must_v give_v at_o once_o for_o they_o

to_o the_o first_o iron_n and_o if_o this_o virtue_n can_v tie_v the_o first_o iron_n to_o the_o loadstone_n it_o can_v proceed_v out_o of_o this_o virtue_n that_o the_o second_o iron_n be_v tie_v

they_o and_o that_o steam_n climb_v up_o the_o enlarge_a one_o of_o both_o they_o together_o the_o three_o effect_n which_o the_o great_a loadstone_n work_v be_v that_o it_o make_v the_o steam_n of_o the_o little_a loadstone_n become_v strong_a by_o augment_v its_o innate_a virtue_n in_o some_o degree_n now_o then_o the_o go_v of_o the_o iron_n to_o either_o of_o the_o lodestone_n must_v follow_v the_o great_a and_o quick_a conjunction_n of_o the_o two_o meeting_n steam_n and_o not_o the_o greatness_n of_o one_o alone_a so_o that_o if_o the_o conjunction_n of_o the_o two_o steam_n between_o

will_v for_o the_o most_o part_n be_v less_o than_o the_o steam_n which_o go_v from_o the_o lesser_a loadstone_n
to_o the_o iron_n &_o though_o the_o other_o steam_n be_v never_o so_o great_a yet_o it_o can_v draw_v more_o than_o according_a to_o the_o proportion_n of_o its_o antagonist_n come_v from_o the_o

that_o the_o stream_n come_v from_o the_o point_n by_o side_n the_o pole_n be_v but_o a_o little_a the_o strong_a of_o the_o two_o there_o will_v appear_v very_o little_a difference_n in_o their_o

whereas_o nothing_o be_v more_o evident_a than_o that_o aristotle_n mean_v by_o quality_n no_o other_o thing_n but_o that_o disposition_n of_o part_n which_o be_v proper_a to_o one_o body_n and_o
