think_v i_o can_v i_o shall_v not_o be_v much_o concern_v at_o mr._n keill_n pass_v it_o over_o untouched_a for_o the_o only_a thing_n he_o say_v 182._o p._n 181_o 182._o viz._n that_o it_o will_v hardly_o be_v allow_v that_o but_o one_o half_a of_o the_o primitive_a earth_n be_v habitable_a before_o the_o fall_n seem_v to_o i_o too_o inconsiderable_a to_o be_v make_v a_o objection_n i_o shall_v think_v it_o no_o great_a matter_n if_o all_o the_o earth_n except_v the_o region_n about_o paradise_n be_v uninhabitable_a at_o a_o time_n when_o they_o be_v not_o to_o be_v inhabit_v for_o to_o what_o great_a purpose_n be_v it_o that_o all_o proper_a provision_n be_v make_v for_o the_o entertainment_n of_o a_o company_n of_o guest_n at_o a_o table_n when_o it_o be_v certain_o know_v that_o not_o one_o guest_n will_v be_v there_o providence_n do_v ever_o wonderful_o provide_v for_o the_o accommodation_n of_o his_o creature_n wherever_o it_o place_v they_o but_o that_o a_o suitable_a provision_n be_v make_v for_o they_o where_o they_o will_v never_o be_v place_v i_o see_v no_o reason_n to_o imagine_v if_o i_o ever_o attempt_v another_o edition_n of_o my_o book_n this_o hypothesis_n with_o several_a other_o discovery_n since_o make_v will_v be_v insert_v and_o will_v i_o believe_v with_o fair_a and_o consider_a person_n be_v think_v far_o from_o spoil_v the_o beauty_n of_o the_o theory_n whatsoever_o mr._n keill_n who_o be_v no_o friend_n to_o theory_n in_o general_a may_v think_v to_o the_o contrary_n but_o to_o proceed_v mr._n keill_n still_o assert_n that_o the_o heat_n in_o my_o hypothesis_n before_o the_o fall_n when_o the_o sun_n be_v half_o a_o year_n at_o least_o above_o the_o horizon_n at_o once_o be_v several_a hundred_o time_n great_a than_o that_o with_o we_o at_o present_a now_o in_o answer_n to_o this_o i_o allege_v that_o if_o we_o compute_v the_o quantity_n of_o heat_n from_o that_o of_o the_o sun_n ray_n it_o will_v be_v equal_a in_o both_o case_n and_o so_o his_o assertion_n must_v be_v a_o plain_a error_n but_o it_o seem_v he_o mean_v quite_o otherwise_o than_o i_o imagine_v viz._n that_o the_o degree_n of_o heat_n produce_v by_o so_o long_a continuance_n of_o the_o sun_n presence_n will_v at_o last_o be_v several_a hundred_o time_n as_o great_a as_o with_o we_o at_o present_a i_o answer_v that_o in_o this_o sense_n the_o assertion_n be_v not_o much_o true_a than_o in_o the_o other_o the_o heat_v produce_v by_o the_o fire_n or_o the_o sun_n for_o some_o time_n continual_o increase_v and_o perhaps_o pretty_a near_o in_o proportion_n to_o the_o time_n but_o this_o only_a for_o a_o while_n till_o a_o suitable_a or_o competent_a degree_n of_o heat_n be_v produce_v but_o no_o long_o let_v we_o try_v this_o by_o calculation_n a_o piece_n of_o wax_n will_v melt_v in_o a_o second_o of_o time_n suppose_v at_o the_o distance_n of_o a_o inch_n from_o the_o fire_n because_o the_o degree_n of_o heat_n there_o be_v sufficient_a to_o dissolve_v its_o texture_n immediate_o let_v we_o remove_v it_o to_o the_o distance_n of_o a_o hundred_o inch_n where_o the_o heat_n be_v ten_o thousand_o time_n weak_a for_o ten_o thousand_o second_o or_o near_o three_o hour_n space_n the_o quantity_n of_o heat_n be_v therefore_o as_o the_o rectangle_n contain_v betwixt_o the_o sine_fw-la of_o the_o angle_n of_o incidence_n the_o same_o in_o both_o case_n here_o and_o the_o time_n of_o continuance_n exact_o equal_a to_o the_o former_a heat_n and_o must_v therefore_o have_v the_o same_o effect_n which_o yet_o i_o presume_v mr._n keill_n do_v not_o believe_v it_o will_n thus_o let_v we_o compare_v the_o heat_n of_o the_o sun_n at_o the_o equator_fw-la and_o near_o the_o pole_n where_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o sun_n angle_n of_o incidence_n be_v as_o 10_o to_o 1_o for_o the_o daytime_n or_o 12_o hour_n at_o the_o equator_fw-la and_o for_o the_o 12_o hour_n at_o the_o conclusion_n of_o the_o half-year-day_n near_o the_o pole_n which_o will_v according_a to_o mr._n keill_n be_v as_o 10_o +_o 12_o to_o 1_o +_o 4320_o or_o as_o 120_o to_o 4320_o and_o so_o the_o heat_n near_o the_o pole_n 36_o time_n as_o great_a as_o that_o at_o the_o equator_fw-la which_o i_o presume_v experience_n do_v not_o attest_v but_o after_o all_o this_o objection_n if_o it_o be_v true_a only_o refer_v to_o the_o circular_a orbit_n before_o the_o fall_n but_o as_o my_o theory_n stand_v at_o present_a with_o the_o hypothesis_n of_o a_o elliptic_a orbit_n it_o be_v no_o way_n concern_v in_o it_o but_o now_o we_o be_v come_v to_o a_o point_n of_o much_o great_a consequence_n whether_o the_o dense_n fluid_fw-la on_o the_o approach_v of_o the_o comet_n at_o the_o deluge_n will_v have_v force_n enough_o to_o burst_v the_o earth_n or_o that_o upper_a crust_n which_o be_v situate_a upon_o the_o surface_n of_o the_o dense_n fluid_fw-la for_o mr._n keill_n with_o no_o mean_a appearance_n of_o demonstration_n urge_v that_o since_o the_o first_o impetus_fw-la of_o the_o dense_n fluid_a be_v infinite_o less_o than_o any_o succeed_a impetus_fw-la acquire_v by_o motion_n and_o since_o here_o be_v no_o room_n for_o actual_a motion_n here_o can_v be_v impetus_fw-la sufficient_a to_o break_v the_o crust_n which_o otherwise_o mr._n keill_n own_v it_o will_v easy_o do_v in_o answer_n to_o this_o i_o say_v that_o since_o mr._n keill_n do_v not_o disow_v the_o first_o original_a of_o the_o earth_n fissure_n and_o the_o break_n of_o the_o crust_n by_o the_o diurnal_a rotation_n he_o ought_v much_o less_o to_o scruple_n it_o here_o a_o plank_n or_o board_n when_o once_o it_o be_v cut_v into_o several_a piece_n let_v the_o piece_n be_v lay_v as_o true_a and_o close_o as_o possible_a will_v be_v separate_v without_o any_o difficulty_n upon_o all_o occasion_n and_o just_o thus_o it_o be_v here_o the_o strata_n have_v be_v former_o separate_v and_o by_o the_o continuance_n of_o the_o diurnal_a motion_n not_o permit_v to_o join_v or_o close_v afterward_o upon_o any_o impetus_fw-la of_o the_o fluid_a below_o they_o will_v open_v again_o as_o i_o have_v assert_v in_o the_o new_a theory_n but_o because_o mr._n keill_n imagine_v that_o the_o upper_a crust_n of_o earth_n will_v hinder_v the_o force_n of_o the_o fluid_a below_o from_o break_v open_a its_o fissure_n let_v we_o compute_v the_o force_n of_o the_o comet_n be_v attraction_n upon_o itself_o and_o see_v whether_o even_o that_o alone_a without_o the_o assistance_n of_o the_o dense_n fluid_fw-la will_v not_o be_v sufficient_a to_o break_v it_o in_o the_o manner_n i_o have_v assign_v mr._n keill_n may_v remember_v 10._o coral_n 8._o post_n hyp._n 10._o that_o i_o suppose_v the_o comet_n at_o the_o deluge_n about_o half_a as_o big_a as_o the_o earth_n and_o the_o near_a distance_n of_o its_o centre_n to_o that_o of_o the_o earth_n about_o 30000_o mile_n let_v we_o see_v what_o force_n this_o will_v afford_v towards_o break_v the_o earth_n at_o the_o near_a distance_n the_o gravity_n of_o the_o part_n of_o our_o earth_n near_a the_o comet_n towards_o the_o comet_n be_v centre_n will_v be_v near_o 1_o 100_o of_o their_o gravity_n towards_o the_o centre_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o the_o difference_n between_o the_o gravity_n of_o those_o part_n towards_o the_o comet_n and_o of_o the_o middle_a part_n or_o centre_n of_o our_o earth_n towards_o the_o same_o will_v be_v the_o difference_n of_o the_o square_n of_o their_o several_a distance_n or_o about_o a_o quarter_n of_o the_o former_a force_n 1_o 400_o so_o that_o the_o part_n near_a to_o the_o comet_n and_o far_a off_o it_o 7._o new_a theor._n fig._n 7._o the_o region_n about_o b_o and_z a_o in_o my_o 7_o fig._n if_o the_o crust_n be_v suppose_v 400_o mile_n thick_a will_v have_v a_o force_n upon_o they_o equal_a to_o the_o weight_n of_o a_o entire_a mile_n of_o earth_n and_o this_o sure_a will_v be_v more_o than_o sufficient_a to_o break_v and_o separate_v those_o strata_n which_o be_v already_o break_v and_o separate_v and_o which_o therefore_o at_o the_o first_o impulse_n will_v yield_v to_o that_o powerful_a attraction_n which_o the_o neighbourhood_n of_o so_o mighty_a a_o body_n will_v occasion_v in_o the_o case_n before_o we_o as_o to_o the_o sudden_a condensation_n of_o the_o vapour_n from_o the_o comet_n upon_o their_o first_o fall_n whether_o by_o the_o air_n or_o earth_n be_v it_o never_o so_o evident_a and_o universal_a it_o be_v of_o very_o small_a consequence_n to_o i_o since_o as_o mr._n keill_n do_v not_o
