to_o content_v he_o let_v we_o reflect_v upon_o the_o disposition_n of_o part_n of_o this_o habitable_a globe_n whereof_o we_o be_v tenant_n for_o life_n and_o we_o shall_v find_v that_o the_o sun_n by_o his_o constant_a course_n under_o the_o zodiac_n heat_v a_o great_a part_n of_o it_o unmeasurable_o more_o than_o he_o do_v the_o rest_n and_o consequent_o that_o this_o zodiac_n be_v in_o the_o

that_o part_n of_o the_o earth_n which_o lie_v under_o the_o zodiac_n now_o look_v into_o the_o consequence_n of_o this_o we_o find_v that_o the_o sun_n or_o the_o sun_n heat_n which_o reflect_v from_o the_o earth_n in_o the_o torride_a zone_n must_v rarify_v the_o air_n extreme_o and_o according_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o all_o heat_n and_o fire_n must_v needs_o carry_v away_o from_o thence_o many_o part_n of_o the_o air_n and_o of_o the_o earth_n stick_v to_o that_o heat_n in_o such_o sort_n as_o we_o have_v former_o declare_v whence_o it_o follow_v that_o other_o air_n must_v

have_v explicate_v above_o especial_o consider_v that_o the_o air_n which_o come_v from_o the_o polewarde_n be_v heavy_a than_o the_o air_n of_o the_o torride_a zone_n 7._o and_o therefore_o must_v natural_o press_v to_o be_v still_o near_o the_o earth_n and_o so_o as_o it_o be_v shoulder_v up_o the_o air_n of_o the_o torride_a zone_n towards_o the_o circumference_n by_o roll_v into_o its_o place_n and_o this_o in_o great_a quantity_n and_o consequent_o the_o polar_n air_n must_v draw_v a_o great_a train_n after_o it_o which_o if_o we_o consider_v the_o great_a extent_n of_o the_o torride_a zone_n we_o shall_v easy_o persuade_v ourselves_o that_o it_o must_v reach_v on_o each_o side_n to_o the_o very_a pole_n for_o take_v from_o archimedes_n that_o the_o spherical_a superficies_n of_o a_o portion_n of_o a_o spher●_n be_v to_o the_o superficies_n of_o the_o whole_a sphere_n according_a as_o the_o part_n of_o the_o axis_fw-la of_o that_o sphere_n comprise_v

the_o whole_a axis_fw-la of_o the_o earth_n in_o about_o the_o proportion_n of_o 4._o to_o 10_o it_o must_v of_o necessity_n follow_v that_o a_o fire_n or_o great_a heat_n reign_v in_o so_o vast_a a_o extent_n will_v draw_v air_n very_o powerful_o from_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o world_n neither_o let_v any_o man_n apprehend_v that_o this_o course_n of_o the_o sun_n elevate_n so_o great_a quantity_n of_o atom_n in_o the_o torride_a zone_n shall_v hinder_v the_o course_n of_o gravity_n there_o for_o first_o the_o medium_n be_v much_o rare_a in_o the_o torride_a zone_n then_o in_o other_o part_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o therefore_o the_o force_n of_o the_o descend_a atom_n need_v not_o to_o be_v so_o great_a there_o as_o in_o other_o place_n to_o make_v body_n descend_v there_o as_o fast_o as_o they_o do_v else_o where_o second_o there_o be_v a_o perpetual_a supply_n of_o fresh_a air_n from_o the_o polar_n part_n stream_v continual_o into_o the_o torride_a zone_n it_o must_v of_o

their_o necessity_n as_o they_o run_v along_o the_o shore_n thus_o then_o remember_v how_o we_o determine_v that_o quantity_n be_v divisibility_n it_o follow_v that_o if_o beside_o quantity_n there_o be_v a_o substance_n or_o thing_n which_o be_v divisible_a that_o thing_n if_o it_o be_v condistinguish_v from_o its_o quantity_n or_o divisibility_n must_v of_o itself_o be_v indivisible_a or_o to_o speak_v more_o proper_o it_o must_v be_v not_o divisible_a put_v then_o such_o substance_n to_o be_v capable_a of_o the_o quantity_n of_o the_o whole_a world_n or_o universe_n and_o consequent_o you_o put_v it_o of_o itself_o indifferent_a to_o all_o and_o to_o any_o part_n of_o quantity_n for_o in_o it_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o negation_n of_o divisibility_n there_o be_v no_o variety_n of_o

this_o then_o be_v so_o we_o have_v the_o ground_n of_o more_o or_o less_o proportion_n between_o substance_n and_o quantity_n for_o if_o the_o whole_a quantity_n of_o the_o universe_n be_v put_v into_o it_o the_o proportion_n of_o quantity_n to_o the_o capacity_n of_o that_o substance_n will_v be_v great_a then_o if_o but_o half_a that_o quantity_n be_v imbibe_v in_o the_o same_o substance_n and_o because_o proportion_n change_v on_o both_o side_n by_o the_o single_a change_n of_o only_o one_o side_n it_o follow_v that_o in_o the_o latter_a the_o proportion_n of_o that_o substance_n to_o its_o quantity_n be_v great_a and_o that_o in_o the_o former_a it_o be_v less_o howbeit_o the_o substance_n in_o itself_o be_v indivisible_a what_o we_o have_v say_v thus_o in_o abstract_n will_v sink_v more_o easy_o into_o we_o if_o we_o apply_v it_o to_o some_o particular_a body_n here_o among_o we_o in_o which_o we_o see_v a_o difference_n of_o rarity_n and_o density_n as_o to_o air_n water_n gold_n or_o the_o like_a and_o examine_v if_o the_o effect_n that_o happen_v to_o they_o do_v follow_v out_o of_o this_o disproportion_n between_o substance_n and_o quantity_n for_o example_n let_v we_o conceive_v that_o all_o the_o quantity_n of_o the_o world_n be_v in_o one_o uniform_a substance_n than_o the_o whole_a universe_n will_v be_v in_o one_o and_o the_o same_o degree_n of_o rarity_n ad_fw-la density_n let_v that_o degree_n be_v the_o degree_n of_o water_n it_o will_v then_o follow_v that_o in_o what_o part_n soever_o there_o happen_v to_o be_v a_o change_n from_o this_o degree_n that_o part_n will_v not_o have_v that_o proportion_n of_o quantity_n to_o its_o substance_n which_o the_o quantity_n of_o the_o whole_a world_n have_v to_o the_o presuppose_a uniform_a substance_n but_o if_o it_o happen_v to_o have_v the_o degree_n of_o rarity_n which_o be_v in_o the_o air_n it_o will_v then_o have_v more_o quantity_n in_o proportion_n to_o its_o substance_n then_o will_v be_v due_a unto_o it_o according_a to_o the_o presuppose_a proportion_n of_o the_o quantity_n of_o the_o universe_n to_o the_o foresay_a uniform_a substance_n which_o in_o this_o case_n be_v as_o it_o be_v the_o standard_n to_o try_v all_o other_o proportion_n by_o and_o contrariwise_o if_o it_o happen_v to_o have_v the_o degree_n of_o density_n which_o be_v find_v in_o earth_n or_o in_o

standard_n now_o to_o proceed_v from_o hence_o with_o examine_v the_o effect_n which_o result_n out_o of_o this_o compound_v of_o quantity_n with_o substance_n we_o may_v first_o consider_v that_o the_o definition_n which_o aristotle_n have_v give_v we_o of_o rarity_n and_o density_n be_v the_o same_o we_o drive_v at_o he_o tell_v we_o that_o that_o body_n be_v rare_a who_o quantity_n be_v more_o and_o its_o substance_n less_o that_o contrariwise_o dense_a where_o the_o substance_n be_v more_o and_o the_o quantity_n less_o now_o if_o we_o look_v into_o the_o propriety_n of_o the_o body_n we_o have_v name_v or_o of_o any_o other_o we_o shall_v see_v they_o all_o follow_v clear_o out_o of_o these_o definition_n for_o first_o that_o one_o be_v more_o diffuse_v a_o other_o more_o compact_a such_o diffusion_n and_o compaction_n seem_v to_o be_v the_o very_a nature_n of_o rarity_n and_o density_n suppose_v they_o to_o be_v such_o as_o we_o have_v define_v they_o to_o be_v see_v that_o substance_n be_v more_o diffuse_v by_o have_v more_o part_n or_o by_o be_v in_o more_o part_n and_o be_v more_o compact_a by_o the_o contrary_n and_o then_o that_o rare_a body_n be_v more_o divisible_a than_o dense_a one_o you_o see_v be_v coincident_a into_o the_o same_o conceit_n with_o their_o diffusion_n and_o compaction_n and_o from_o hence_o again_o it_o follow_v that_o they_o be_v more_o easy_o divide_v in_o great_a and_o likewise_o that_o they_o be_v by_o the_o force_n of_o natural_a agent_n divisible_a into_o lesser_a part_n for_o both_o these_o that_o be_v facility_n of_o

this_o again_o follow_v that_o in_o rare_a body_n there_o be_v less_o resistance_n to_o the_o motion_n of_o a_o other_o body_n through_o it_o then_o in_o dense_a one_o and_o therefore_o a_o like_a force_n pass_v more_o easy_o through_o the_o one_o then_o through_o the_o other_o again_o rare_a body_n be_v more_o penetrative_a and_o active_a then_o dense_a one_o because_o be_v by_o their_o overproportion_n of_o quantity_n easy_o divisible_a into_o small_a part_n they_o can_v run_v into_o every_o little_a poor_a and_o so_o incorporate_v themselves_o better_o into_o other_o body_n then_o more_o dense_a one_o can_v light_a body_n likewise_o must_v be_v rare_a because_o most_o divisible_a if_o other_o circumstance_n concur_v equal_o thus_o you_o see_v decipher_v unto_o your_o hand_n the_o first_o division_n of_o body_n flow_v from_o quantity_n as_o it_o be_v ordain_v to_o substance_n for_o the_o composition_n of_o a_o body_n for_o since_o the_o definition_n of_o a_o body_n be_v

that_o the_o essence_n of_o rarity_n and_o density_n stand_v in_o the_o proportion_n of_o quantity_n to_o substance_n if_o we_o believe_v aristotle_n the_o great_a master_n that_o ever_o be_v of_o
