motion_n of_o the_o earth_n for_o whatsoever_o have_v be_v asunder_o come_v together_o again_o must_v come_v contrary_a way_n as_o those_o that_o follow_v one_o another_o go_v the_o same_o way_n

it_o a_o a_o come_n first_o to_o the_o water_n the_o tail_n b_o c_o following_z it_o it_o be_v prove_v before_o that_o the_o motion_n that_o make_v it_o be_v a_o compound_a motion_n and_o give_v a_o endeavour_n outward_a to_o every_o part_n of_o it_o and_o that_o the_o motion_n which_o make_v cold_a be_v such_o as_o shave_v the_o body_n in_o every_o point_n of_o contact_n and_o turn_v it_o give_v they_o all_o a_o endeavour_v inward_a such_o be_v this_o motion_n make_v by_o the_o sink_n of_o the_o hot_a and_o fluid_a glass_n into_o the_o water_n it_o be_v therefore_o manifest_a that_o the_o motion_n which_o harden_v a_o soft_a body_n must_v in_o every_o point_n of_o contact_n be_v in_o the_o contrary_a way_n to_o that_o which_o make_v a_o hard_a body_n soft_a and_o further_o that_o slender_a tail_n b_o c_o shall_v be_v make_v much_o more_o hard_a than_o common_a glass_n for_o towards_o the_o upper_a end_n in_o c_o you_o can_v easy_o break_v it_o as_o small_a as_o it_o be_v and_o when_o you_o have_v break_v it_o the_o whole_a body_n will_v fall_v into_o dust_n as_o it_o must_v do_v see_v the_o bend_n be_v so_o difficult_a for_o all_o the_o part_n be_v bend_v with_o such_o force_n that_o upon_o the_o break_n at_o d_o by_o their_o sudden_a restitution_n to_o their_o liberty_n they_o will_v break_v together_o and_o the_o cause_n why_o the_o tail_n b_o c_o be_v so_o

how_o a_o body_n which_o have_v be_v hard_a and_o soften_v again_o may_v be_v re-hardned_n but_o how_o a_o fluid_a and_o mere_a homogeneous_a body_n as_o air_n or_o water_n may_v be_v so_o i_o see_v not_o yet_o for_o the_o harden_v of_o water_n be_v make_v a_o hard_a body_n of_o two_o fluid_n whereof_o one_o which_o be_v the_o water_n have_v some_o tenacity_n and_o so_o a_o man_n may_v make_v a_o bladder_n hard_a with_o blow_v into_o it_o b._n as_o for_o mere_a air_n which_o have_v no_o natural_a motion_n of_o itself_o but_o be_v move_v only_o by_o other_o body_n of_o a_o great_a consistence_n i_o think_v it_o impossible_a to_o be_v harden_v for_o the_o part_n of_o it_o so_o easy_o change_v place_n that_o they_o can_v never_o be_v fix_v by_o any_o motion_n no_o more_o i_o think_v can_v water_n which_o though_o somewhat_o less_o fluid_a be_v with_o a_o insensible_a force_n very_o easy_o break_v a._n it_o be_v the_o opinion_n of_o many_o learned_a man_n that_o ice_n in_o long_a time_n will_v be_v turn_v into_o crystal_n and_o they_o allege_v experience_n for_o it_o for_o they_o say_v that_o crystal_n be_v find_v hang_v on_o high_a rock_n in_o the_o alps_o like_o icicle_n on_o the_o eaves_n of_o a_o house_n and_o why_o may_v not_o that_o have_v former_o be_v ice_n and_o in_o many_o year_n have_v lose_v the_o power_n of_o be_v reduce_v b._n if_o that_o be_v so_o it_o will_v still_o be_v ice_n though_o also_o crystal_n which_o can_v be_v because_o crystal_n be_v heavy_a than_o water_n and_o therefore_o much_o heavy_a than_o ice_n a._n be_v there_o then_o no_o

some_o like_a shell_n and_o some_o like_a serpent_n and_o other_o like_o other_o thing_n b._n yes_o i_o have_v see_v such_o thing_n and_o particular_o i_o see_v at_o rome_n in_o a_o stone-cutter_n workhouse_n a_o billet_n of_o wood_n as_o i_o think_v it_o partly_o cover_v with_o bark_n and_o partly_o with_o the_o grain_n bare_a as_o long_o as_o a_o man_n arm_n and_o as_o thick_a as_o the_o calf_n of_o a_o man_n leg_n which_o handle_v i_o find_v extreme_a heavy_a and_o see_v a_o small_a part_n of_o it_o which_o be_v polish_v and_o have_v a_o very_a fine_a gloss_n and_o think_v it_o a_o substance_n between_o stone_n and_o metal_n but_o near_o to_o stone_n i_o have_v see_v also_o a_o kind_n of_o slate_n paint_v natural_o with_o forest-work_n and_o i_o have_v see_v in_o the_o hand_n of_o a_o chemist_n of_o my_o acquaintance_n at_o paris_n a_o break_a glass_n part_n of_o a_o retort_n in_o which_o have_v be_v the_o rozin_n of_o turpentine_n wherein_o though_o there_o be_v leave_v no_o rozin_n yet_o there_o appear_v in_o the_o piece_n of_o glass_n many_o tree_n and_o plant_n in_o the_o ground_n about_o they_o such_o as_o grow_v in_o wood_n and_o better_o design_v than_o they_o can_v be_v do_v by_o any_o painter_n and_o continue_v so_o for_o a_o long_a time_n these_o be_v great_a wonder_n of_o nature_n but_o i_o will_v not_o undertake_v to_o show_v their_o cause_n but_o yet_o this_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o nothing_o can_v make_v a_o hard_a body_n of_o a_o soft_a but_o by_o some_o motion_n of_o its_o part_n for_o the_o part_n of_o the_o hard_a body_n in_o the_o world_n can_v be_v no_o close_o together_o than_o to_o touch_v and_o so_o close_o be_v the_o part_n of_o air_n and_o water_n and_o consequent_o they_o shall_v be_v equal_o hard_a if_o their_o small_a part_n have_v not_o different_a natural_a motion_n therefore_o if_o you_o ask_v i_o the_o cause_n of_o these_o effect_n i_o answer_v they_o be_v different_a motion_n but_o if_o you_o expect_v from_o i_o how_o and_o by_o what_o motion_n i_o shall_v fail_v you_o for_o there_o be_v no_o kind_n of_o substance_n in_o the_o world_n now_o that_o be_v not_o at_o the_o first_o creation_n when_o the_o creator_n give_v to_o all_o thing_n what_o natural_a and_o special_a motion_n he_o think_v good_a and_o as_o he_o make_v some_o body_n wondrous_a great_a so_o he_o make_v other_o wondrous_a little_a for_o all_o his_o work_n be_v wondrous_a man_n can_v but_o guess_v nor_o guess_v further_o than_o he_o have_v knowledge_n of_o the_o variety_n of_o motion_n i_o be_o therefore_o of_o opinion_n that_o whatsoever_o perfect_o homogeneous_a be_v hard_a consist_v of_o the_o small_a part_n or_o as_o some_o call_v they_o atom_n that_o be_v make_v hard_o in_o the_o beginning_n and_o consequent_o by_o a_o eternal_a cause_n and_o that_o the_o hardness_n of_o the_o whole_a body_n be_v cause_v only_o by_o the_o contact_n of_o the_o part_n by_o pressure_n a._n what_o motion_n be_v it_o that_o make_v a_o hard_a body_n to_o melt_v b._n the_o same_o compound_a motion_n that_o heat_n namely_o that_o of_o fire_n if_o it_o be_v strong_a enough_o for_o all_o motion_n compound_v be_v a_o endeavour_n to_o dissipate_v as_o i_o have_v say_v before_o the_o part_n of_o the_o body_n to_o be_v move_v by_o it_o if_o therefore_o hardness_n consist_v only_o in_o the_o press_a contact_n of_o the_o least_o part_n this_o motion_n will_v make_v the_o same_o part_n slide_v off_o from_o one_o another_o and_o the_o whole_a to_o take_v such_o a_o figure_n as_o the_o weight_n of_o the_o part_n shall_v dispose_v they_o to_o as_o in_o lead_n iron_n gold_n and_o other_o thing_n melt_v with_o heat_n but_o if_o the_o small_a part_n have_v such_o figure_n as_o they_o can_v exact_o touch_v but_o must_v leave_v space_n between_o they_o fill_v with_o air_n or_o other_o fluid_n than_o this_o motion_n of_o the_o fire_n will_v dissipate_v those_o part_n some_o one_o way_n some_o another_o the_o hard_a part_n still_o hard_o as_o in_o the_o burn_a of_o wood_n or_o stone_n into_o ash_n or_o lime_n for_o this_o motion_n

i_o say_v motion_n be_v nothing_o but_o change_v of_o place_n for_o all_o the_o effect_n of_o a_o body_n upon_o the_o organ_n of_o our_o sense_n be_v nothing_o but_o fancy_n therefore_o we_o can_v

therefore_o i_o think_v it_o evident_a that_o as_o in_o the_o thames_n the_o ice_n be_v first_o make_v at_o the_o bank_n where_o the_o tide_n be_v weak_a or_o none_o and_o break_v by_o the_o stream_n
