you_o say_v that_o other_o thing_n come_v to_o the_o earth_n and_o therefore_o the_o like_a motion_n in_o the_o sun_n and_o moon_n and_o star_n cast_v off_o the_o air_n shall_v also_o cause_v all_o other_o thing_n to_o come_v to_o every_o one_o of_o they_o from_o whence_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o the_o sun_n moon_n and_o earth_n and_o all_o other_o body_n but_o air_n shall_v present_o come_v

on_o both_o side_n north_n and_o south_n make_v the_o like_a motion_n of_o air_n there_o also_o and_o this_o may_v answer_v to_o the_o question_n how_o a_o stone_n can_v fall_v to_o the_o earth_n under_o the_o pole_n of_o the_o ecliptic_a by_o the_o only_o cast_v off_o of_o air_n b._n it_o follow_v from_o hence_o that_o there_o be_v a_o certain_a and_o determinate_a distance_n of_o one_o of_o

to_o pull_v they_o further_o asunder_o when_o they_o be_v part_v that_o difficulty_n be_v argument_n enough_o to_o prove_v there_o be_v no_o vacuum_n a._n these_o assertion_n need_v demonstration_n and_o first_o how_o do_v the_o difficulty_n of_o separation_n argue_v the_o plenitude_n of_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o world_n b._n if_o two_o flat_a polish_a marble_n lie_v one_o upon_o another_o you_o see_v they_o be_v hardly_o separate_v in_o all_o point_n at_o one_o and_o the_o same_o instant_n and_o yet_o the_o weight_n of_o either_o of_o they_o it_o be_v enough_o to_o make_v they_o slide_v off_o one_o from_o the_o other_o be_v not_o the_o cause_n of_o this_o that_o the_o air_n succeed_v the_o marble_n that_o so_o slide_v and_o fill_v up_o the_o place_n it_o leave_v a._n yes_o certain_o what_o then_o b._n but_o when_o you_o pull_v the_o whole_a superficies_n asunder_o not_o without_o great_a difficulty_n what_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o that_o difficulty_n a._n i_o think_v as_o most_o man_n do_v that_o the_o air_n can_v fill_v up_o the_o space_n between_o in_o a_o instant_n for_o the_o part_n be_v in_o a_o instant_n b._n suppose_v there_o be_v vacuum_n in_o that_o air_n into_o which_o the_o marble_n you_o pull_v off_o be_v to_o succeed_v shall_v there_o be_v no_o vacuum_n in_o the_o air_n that_o be_v round_o about_o the_o two_o marble_n when_o they_o touch_v why_o can_v that_o vacuum_n come_v into_o the_o place_n between_o air_n can_v succeed_v in_o a_o instant_n because_o a_o body_n and_o consequent_o can_v be_v move_v through_o the_o least_o space_n in_o a_o instant_n but_o emptiness_n be_v not_o a_o body_n nor_o be_v move_v but_o make_v by_o the_o act_n itself_o of_o separation_n there_o be_v therefore_o if_o you_o admit_v vacuum_n no_o necessity_n at_o all_o for_o the_o air_n to_o fill_v the_o space_n leave_v in_o a_o instant_n and_o therefore_o with_o what_o ease_n the_o marble_n come_v off_o press_v out_o the_o vacuum_n of_o the_o air_n behind_o it_o with_o the_o same_o ease_n will_v the_o marble_n be_v pull_v asunder_o see_v then_o if_o there_o be_v vacuum_n there_o will_v be_v no_o difficulty_n of_o separation_n it_o follow_v because_o there_o be_v difficulty_n of_o separation_n that_o there_o be_v no_o vacuum_n a._n well_o now_o suppose_v the_o world_n full_a how_o do_v you_o prove_v it_o possible_a to_o pull_v those_o marble_n asunder_o b._n take_v a_o piece_n of_o soft_a wax_n do_v not_o you_o think_v the_o one_o half_a touch_n the_o other_o half_a as_o close_o as_o the_o smooth_a marble_n yet_o you_o can_v pull_v they_o asunder_o but_o how_o still_o as_o you_o pull_v the_o wax_n grow_v continual_o more_o and_o more_o slender_a there_o be_v a_o perpetual_a part_n or_o discession_n of_o the_o outermost_a part_n of_o the_o wax_n one_o from_o another_o which_o the_o air_n present_o fill_v and_o so_o there_o be_v a_o continual_a lessen_v of_o the_o wax_n till_o it_o be_v no_o big_a than_o a_o hair_n and_o at_o last_o separation_n if_o you_o can_v do_v the_o same_o to_o a_o pillar_n of_o marble_n till_o the_o outside_n give_v way_n the_o effect_n will_v be_v the_o same_o but_o much_o quick_a after_o it_o once_o begin_v to_o break_v in_o the_o superficies_n because_o the_o force_n that_o can_v master_v the_o first_o resistance_n of_o the_o hardness_n will_v quick_o dispatch_v the_o rest_n a._n it_o seem_v so_o by_o the_o brittleness_n of_o some_o hard_a body_n but_o i_o shall_v afterward_o put_v some_o question_n to_o you_o touch_v the_o nature_n of_o hardness_n but_o now_o to_o return_v to_o

how_o can_v it_o be_v draw_v back_o as_o with_o the_o screw_n they_o draw_v it_o but_o that_o the_o space_n it_o leave_v must_v needs_o be_v empty_a for_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o any_o air_n

in_o piece_n a._n it_o be_v like_a enough_o to_o be_v so_o and_o if_o nature_n have_v betray_v herself_o in_o any_o thing_n i_o think_v it_o be_v in_o this_o and_o in_o that_o other_o experience_n of_o the_o cross-bow_n which_o strong_o and_o evident_o demonstrate_v the_o internal_a reciprocation_n of_o the_o motion_n which_o you_o suppose_v to_o be_v in_o the_o internal_a part_n of_o every_o
