of_o which_o it_o may_v be_v disturb_v by_o external_n force_n i_o say_v that_o elasticity_n be_v the_o power_n of_o recover_v that_o figure_n upon_o removal_n of_o such_o force_n 2._o i_o think_v it_o easy_a to_o consider_v elastic_a spring_a or_o resilient_a body_n as_o laminae_fw-la lath_n or_o line_n so_o as_o a_o straight_a lath_n be_v by_o force_n bend_v circular_o do_v upon_o the_o removal_n of_o that_o force_n return_v to_o be_v straight_o again_o by_o its_o elasticity_n and_o a_o circular_a hoop_n be_v force_v straight_o leap_v back_o into_o its_o own_o crookedness_n by_o its_o elasticity_n 3._o elastic_a body_n in_o their_o return_n do_v overshoot_v their_o own_o natural_a positure_n and_o vibrate_v cis_fw-la citrà_fw-la the_o point_n they_o seek_v as_o do_v a_o pendulum_n or_o magneticneedle_n till_o at_o length_n they_o rest_v the_o one_o in_o his_o perpendicular_a and_o the_o other_o in_o his_o meridian_n 4._o a_o elastic_a body_n be_v a_o gross_a tangible_a body_n which_o be_v make_v of_o corpuscle_n or_o the_o small_a body_n that_o can_v possible_o be_v see_v and_o these_o corpuscle_n be_v make_v of_o atom_n or_o the_o small_a body_n in_o nature_n such_o as_o whereof_o a_o million_o do_v not_o perhaps_o make_v one_o of_o the_o corpuscle_n last_o mention_v 5._o i_o know_v no_o reason_n why_o we_o may_v not_o upon_o occasion_n suppose_v atom_n to_o be_v of_o several_a figure_n and_o magnitude_n provide_v we_o suppose_v they_o immutable_a such_o as_o corpuscle_n be_v not_o gross_a tangible_a body_n be_v very_o mutable_a by_o the_o various_a addition_n and_o detrition_n that_o befall_v they_o 6._o i_o suppose_v in_o every_o atom_n three_o such_o point_n as_o we_o all_o see_v and_o know_v to_o be_v in_o the_o globe_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o in_o every_o magnet_n viz._n two_o pole_n in_o its_o superficies_n and_o a_o central_n point_n within_o its_o substance_n which_o i_o call_v its_o bias_n the_o heaven_n also_o visible_o have_v their_o pole_n and_o must_v have_v a_o centre_n of_o gravity_n or_o magnitude_n or_o some_o other_o central_n and_o predominant_a point_n 7._o i_o suppose_v every_o atom_n may_v move_v about_o his_o own_o axis_n and_o about_o other_o atom_n also_o as_o the_o moon_n do_v about_o the_o earth_n venus_n and_o mercury_n about_o the_o sun_n and_o the_o satellite_n jovis_fw-la about_o jupiter_n etc._n etc._n 8._o i_o suppose_v that_o the_o bias_n of_o one_o atom_n may_v have_v a_o tendency_n towards_o the_o bias_n of_o another_o near_o it_o and_o that_o the_o byasses_n of_o many_o atom_n may_v tend_v to_o some_o common_a point_n without_o they_o as_o we_o see_v in_o electrical_a body_n and_o in_o the_o globular_a drop_n of_o water_n and_o quicksilver_n and_o all_o mucilaginous_a substance_n 9_o i_o suppose_v that_o all_o atom_n have_v like_o a_o magnet_n two_o motion_n one_o of_o gravity_n whereby_o it_o tend_v towards_o the_o centre_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o the_o other_o of_o verticity_n by_o which_o it_o tend_v towards_o the_o earths-pole_n and_o whereby_o magnet_n join_v to_o each_o other_o by_o their_o opposite_a pole_n 10._o all_o atom_n by_o their_o motion_n of_o verticity_n or_o polarity_n will_v draw_v themselves_o like_o magnet_n into_o a_o straight_a line_n by_o set_v all_o their_o axe_n in_o directum_fw-la to_o each_o other_o do_v not_o the_o motion_n of_o their_o respective_a byasses_n towards_o each_o other_o and_o towards_o other_o point_n curb_v they_o into_o a_o triangle_n whereof_o the_o two_o axe_n of_o two_o atom_n be_v two_o side_n and_o the_o distance_n between_o the_o bias_n of_o each_o make_v the_o three_o side_n wherefore_o i_o call_v the_o polar_a motion_n abovementioned_a the_o motion_n of_o rectitude_n and_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o biass_n the_o motion_n of_o angularity_n or_o curvity_n or_o the_o angular_a or_o curve_v motion_n 11._o i_o suppose_v that_o all_o these_o motion_n may_v be_v of_o different_a velocity_n and_o that_o by_o contra-colluctations_a they_o balance_v each_o other_o sometime_o into_o seem_a rest_n i_o say_v seem_a because_o perhaps_o there_o be_v no_o rest_n in_o nature_n last_o i_o may_v suppose_v even_o without_o a_o metaphor_n that_o atom_n be_v also_o male_a and_o female_a and_o the_o active_a and_o susceptive_a principle_n of_o all_o thing_n and_o that_o the_o abovenamed_a byasses_n be_v the_o point_n of_o coition_n for_o that_o male_a and_o female_a extend_v further_a than_o to_o animal_n be_v plain_a enough_o the_o fall_n of_o acorn_n into_o the_o ground_n be_v the_o coition_n of_o oak_n with_o the_o earth_n nor_o be_v it_o absurd_a to_o think_v that_o the_o word_n in_o genesis_n male_n and_o female_a create_v he_o they_o may_v begin_v to_o take_v effect_n even_o in_o the_o small_a part_n of_o the_o first_o matter_n for_o although_o the_o word_n be_v speak_v only_o of_o man_n yet_o we_o see_v they_o certain_o refer_v to_o other_o animal_n and_o to_o vegetable_n in_o manner_n aforesaid_a and_o consequent_o not_o improbable_o to_o all_o other_o principle_n of_o generation_n conclusion_n to_o conclude_v i_o hope_v i_o may_v say_v that_o these_o my_o principle_n be_v principle_n indeed_o for_o there_o can_v be_v no_o few_o nor_o easy_a than_o matter_n and_o motion_n my_o matter_n be_v so_o simple_a as_o i_o take_v notice_n of_o nothing_o in_o each_o atom_n but_o of_o three_o such_o point_n as_o be_v in_o the_o heaven_n the_o earth_n in_o magnet_n and_o in_o many_o other_o body_n nor_o do_v i_o suppose_v any_o motion_n but_o what_o we_o see_v in_o the_o great_a part_n of_o the_o universe_n and_o in_o the_o part_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o sea_n again_o all_o the_o motion_n i_o fancy_v in_o my_o atom_n may_v be_v represent_v in_o gross_a tangible_a body_n and_o consequent_o may_v be_v make_v intelligible_a and_o examinable_a moreover_o i_o hope_v none_o of_o my_o supposition_n be_v inconsistent_a with_o each_o other_o nor_o do_v necessary_o infer_v any_o absurdity_n or_o falsehood_n and_o last_o i_o hope_v they_o solve_v all_o the_o phaenomena_n of_o elasticity_n and_o as_o i_o think_v of_o hardness_n fixedness_n tenacity_n fluidity_n heat_n moisture_n fermentation_n and_o the_o rest_n all_o which_o be_v humble_o submit_v to_o the_o censure_n of_o this_o society_n who_o atom_n or_o inseparable_a member_n i_o wish_v may_v happy_o conglomerate_v and_o unite_v themselves_o into_o the_o most_o fix_a and_o most_o noble_a body_n among_o the_o son_n of_o men._n finis_fw-la
