meridional_a line_n or_o the_o like_a which_o yet_o must_v intersect_v and_o thereby_o also_o the_o move_a part_n must_v stay_v and_o stop_v one_o another_o and_o i_o suppose_v if_o mathematical_a

do_v thus_o caus_n motion_n by_o rarefaction_n segregation_n corrosion_n and_o comminution_n of_o some_o part_n so_o consequent_o by_o condensation_n and_o congregation_n of_o other_o and_o so_o it_o be_v say_v to_o segregate_v heterogeneous_a and_o congregate_v homogeneous_a part_n because_o when_o the_o whole_a body_n be_v rarefy_v and_o in_o fusion_n the_o homogeneous_a part_n naturaly_n congregate_v themselves_o and_o the_o heterogeneous_a be_v thereby_o segregated_a and_o so_o in_o make_v of_o salt_n the_o vapour_n go_v one_o way_n and_o fly_v upward_o and_o thereby_o the_o salt_n go_v together_o another_o way_n and_o sink_v downward_o also_o thus_o though_o heat_n do_v immediate_o rarefy_v it_o may_v mediate_o condensate_a and_o as_o it_o do_v immediate_o melt_v so_o also_o mediate_o constipate_v as_o by_o rarefy_v the_o water_n and_o melt_v it_o more_o into_o vapour_n it_o condensates_n and_o constipate_v the_o salt_n and_o more_o notable_o in_o syrup_n tarr_n and_o the_o like_a which_o will_v be_v boil_v into_o a_o gumm_n or_o pitch_n or_o into_o a_o consistence_n beyond_o they_o and_o so_o it_o may_v have_v many_o other_o such_o collateral_a and_o consequential_a operation_n and_o effect_n but_o there_o be_v not_o only_o heat_v inherent_a in_o the_o igneous_a body_n for_o plain_o it_o heat_v at_o a_o very_a great_a distance_n which_o must_v be_v by_o heat_n emanant_fw-la because_o all_o operation_n be_v by_o contact_n for_o as_o there_o be_v no_o vacuity_n between_o entitys_n so_o neither_o in_o operation_n between_o the_o operator_n and_o operate_v and_o that_o there_o be_v such_o emanation_n both_o of_o heat_n and_o light_n i_o shall_v plain_o show_v hereafter_o and_o also_o now_o observe_v that_o there_o be_v another_o

at_o a_o distance_n but_o also_o draw_v other_o body_n to_o it_o whereby_o it_o may_v more_o near_o and_o more_o strong_o operate_v upon_o they_o by_o its_o inherent_a quality_n from_o which_o the_o

equivocaly_a which_o may_v be_v by_o many_o other_o equivocal_a cause_n whereby_o the_o potential_a heat_n may_v be_v free_v and_o deliver_v out_o of_o its_o chaos_n and_o prison_n of_o potentiality_n and_o so_o it_o be_v generate_v by_o motion_n as_o by_o collision_n of_o a_o flint_n and_o steel_n or_o by_o rub_v of_o firecanes_n wherein_o one_o may_v smell_v the_o fire_n before_o any_o such_o

the_o other_o element_n so_o it_o have_v common_o a_o notable_a portion_n of_o fire_n in_o it_o and_o it_o plain_o appear_v that_o the_o motion_n be_v only_o instrumental_a herein_o because_o other_o

they_o do_v only_o thus_o equivocaly_a and_o instrumentaly_n generate_v or_o produce_v it_o because_o the_o flame_n thereof_o afterward_o will_v be_v extinguish_v by_o water_n or_o blow_v out_o by_o
