attracts much like the Sun Is Atomes sharpe out from the Earth do come From the Circumference those like Bees arise As from a Swarm dispers'd sevr'ally flyes And as they wander meet with duller Formes Wherein they sticke their point then backe returnes Yet like a Bee which loaded is each Thigh Their weight is great they cannot nimbly flye So when their points are loaded heavy grow Can peirce no further backward must they go And as their Hives to Earth returne againe Thus by their travell they the Earth maintaine The Attraction of the Sun WHen all those Atomes which in Rayes do spread And ranged long like to a slender thread They do not seatter'd flye but joyne in length And being joyn'd though small add to their strength The further forth they streame more weake 〈◊〉 Although those Beames are fastened to the 〈◊〉 For all those Rayes which Motion sends downe low Are loose sharp Atomes from the Sun do flow And as they flow in severall Streames and Rayes They sticke their points in all that stop their waies Like Needle points whereon doth something sticke No passage make having no points to pricke Thus being stop'd strait-waies they backe do run Drawing those Bodies with them to the Sun The cause of the breaking of the Suns Beames IF Porous Atomes by the Sharpe are found They 're borne on points away as Prisoners bound But as they mount Atomes of their owne kinde If chance to meet strait helpe them to unbinde For Porous Atomes being soft and wet When Numbers meet they close together get And being glut they joyne together all By one consent they pull so backe do fall If they be round in showring Drops returne Like Beads that are upon a long thread strunge But if their Figures different be from those Then like a thicke and foggy mist it shewes Of the Rayes of the Sun THE Rayes are not so hot as is the Sun Because they are united strong to 〈◊〉 But with a Glasse those scatter'd Beames draw in When they 're united peirce through every thing But being separate they weake become And then like Cowards sev'rall waies they run Of the Beames of the Sun THose Splendent Beames which forth the Sun doth spread Are loose sharpe Atomes ranged long like Thread And as they streame if Porous bodies meet Sticke in their Points to us that 〈◊〉 is heat The Sun doth set the Aire on a light as some Opinions hold IF that the Sun so like a Candle is That all the Aire doth take a Light from his Not from Reflexion but by kindling all That part which we our Hemispheare do call Then should that Aire whereon his Light takes place Be never out unlesse that Substance waste Unlesse the Sun Extinguishers should throw Upon the Aire so out the Light doth go But sure the Suns reflexion gives the Light For when he 's gone to us it is darke Night For why the Sun is Atomes sharpe entire Being close wedg'd round is like a wheele of Fire And round that Wheele continually do flow Sharpe streaming Atomes which like Flame do shew And in this Flame the Earth its face doth see As in a Glasse as cleere as cleere may bee And when the Earth doth turne aside his face It is not seene but Darknesse in that place Or when the Moone doth come betwixt that Light Then is the Earth shut up as in darke Night What Atomes the Sun is made of THE Sun is of the sharpest Atomes made Close knit together and exactly laid The Fabricke like a Wheele is just made round And in the midst of all the Planets found And as the Planets move about the Sun Their Motions make the loose sharpe Atomes run Of Vapour LOose Atomes sharpe which Motion shoots about Sticke on loose Porous Atomes those draw out From those more close for these do highest lye Thus Vapour 's drawne toward the Region high But being their weight is equall with their owne They let them fall to Earth so backe returne Of Dewes and Mists from the Earth SOme Atomes sharpe thrust from the Earth some Round And then a Pearled dew lies on the ground But if they beare them on their sharpe points high Those being rais'd a Mist seemes to the Eye On the Circumference of the Earth there lies The loosest Atomes which are apt to rise Yet not to mount so high as to the Sun For being dull they becke to Earth returne As water which is shov'd with force of strength Is not so apt to move as run at length The Attraction of the Poles and of Frost THE North and South Attracts Contracts are like the Sun They freeze as hard as he with Heate doth burne For Atomes there are like to Pincers small By which they draw and others pull withall When Motion from the Poles shoots them about Mixing with Porous bodies when they 're out And with those Pincers small those Bodies nip So close and hard they cannot from them get Unlesse that fiery Atomes sharpe do peirce Betwixt those Pincers small so do release Those Porous Atomes like an Aule that bores Or like a Picklocke which doth open doors For when they 're opened by those fiery Aules Let go their holds which Men a Thaw strait calls If not they pinch those Bodies close together Then men do say it is hard Frosty weather Quenching out of Fire THE Atomes round t is not their Numbers great That put out Fire quenching both Light and Heate But being wet they loosen and unbinde Those sharpe dry Atomes which together joyn'd For when they are dispers'd their power 's but small Nor give they Light nor Heate if single all Besides those Atomes sharpe will smother'd be Having no vent nor yet Vacuity For if that Fire in a place lies close Having no vent but stop'd it strait out goes There is no better Argument to prove That Vacuum is then to see Fire move For if that Fire had not Liberty To run about how quickly would it dye Quenching and Smothering out of Heat and Light doth not change the Property nor Shape of sharpe Atomes T IS not that Atomes sharpe do change their Forme When Heat and Flame is out but Motion 's gone When Motion 's gone sharpe Atomes cannot pricke Having no force in any thing to sticke For if the Sun quicke Motion mov'd it not T' would neither shine nor be to us so hot Just so when Creatures dye change not their Forme That kinde of Motion which made Life is gone For Animall Spirits which we Life do call Are onely of the sharpest Atomes small Thus Life is Atomes sharpe which we call Fire When those are stopt or quench'd Life doth expire Of a Sparke of Fire A Sparke of Fire is like a Mouse doth eate Into a Cheese although both hard and great Just so a Sparke although it be but small If once those Points can fasten peirce through all Of a Coale
