seem_v to_o be_v opposite_a to_o the_o common_a receive_a opinion_n of_o all_o time_n i_o have_v think_v it_o not_o only_o sufficient_a to_o teach_v the_o construction_n of_o the_o engine_n proper_a thereto_o but_o also_o for_o more_o ample_a satisfaction_n to_o premise_v certain_a proposition_n to_o precede_v in_o place_n of_o principle_n only_o to_o make_v you_o understand_v the_o effect_n of_o

to_o come_v to_o which_o it_o must_v first_o be_v consider_v that_o all_o the_o element_n whether_o simple_a or_o mix_v have_v two_o principal_a motion_n viz._n natural_a and_o accidental_a the_o

accidental_a motion_n be_v that_o which_o be_v move_v by_o any_o outward_a force_n different_a from_o the_o first_o now_o although_o divers_a thing_n seem_v to_o move_v contrary_a to_o their_o order_n without_o any_o external_a agitation_n yet_o the_o reason_n be_v that_o their_o contrary_a motion_n be_v cause_v to_o hinder_v some_o other_o great_a accident_n as_o for_o example_n it_o shall_v be_v show_v that_o the_o water_n to_o shun_v vacuity_n mount_v contarry_a to_o the_o ordinary_a course_n thereof_o because_o vacuity_n be_v more_o repugnant_a to_o nature_n then_o the_o contrary_a motion_n of_o that_o element_n as_o be_v see_v by_o the_o principle_n proposition_n which_o serve_v as_o a_o foundation_n of_o this_o invention_n which_o be_v found_v upon_o this_o principle_n of_o nature_n that_o there_o can_v be_v no_o vacuity_n in_o the_o elementary_a sphere_n whereof_o the_o earth_n and_o water_n do_v supply_v the_o inferior_a part_n and_o the_o fire_n and_o air_n which_o encompass_v

four_o it_o will_v be_v necessary_a to_o have_v a_o regard_n as_o well_o to_o certain_a thing_n whereof_o the_o air_n and_o water_n be_v capable_a as_o to_o those_o wherein_o they_o can_v suffer_v

for_o this_o purpose_n then_o to_o involve_v the_o reader_n in_o a_o labyrinth_n of_o geometrical_a proposition_n which_o although_o most_o exact_a yet_o be_v not_o altogether_o pertinent_a for_o
