neither_o matter_n nor_o homogeneous_a with_o the_o matter_n as_o i_o shall_v show_v hereafter_o and_o so_o the_o wiseman_n mention_v the_o spirit_n of_o a_o beast_n that_o go_v downward_o to_o the_o

motion_n must_v necessary_o be_v realy_a different_n from_o it_o and_o this_o be_v most_o sensible_o evident_a that_o they_o may_v so_o exist_v and_o be_v
and_o the_o only_a question_n be_v whether_o there_o be_v any_o such_o matter_n which_o be_v comparative_o more_o den_n or_o more_o rare_a than_o any_o other_o matter_n simple_o in_o itself_o and_o whereas_o generaly_a porous_a body_n that_n be_v fill_v be_v more_o den_n and_o body_n which_o fill_v the_o pore_n more_o rare_a as_o i_o have_v show_v it_o plain_o appear_v by_o porosity_n itself_o whereby_o they_o seek_v to_o solv_n density_n and_o rarity_n that_o they_o also_o be_v such_o in_o their_o several_a simple_a body_n so_o considere_v in_o themselves_o otherwise_o because_o a_o brass_n or_o iron_n kettle_n set_v upright_o with_o the_o concavity_n thereof_o above_o the_o water_n will_v swim_v in_o water_n the_o complex_n extension_n both_o of_o the_o vessel_n and_o of_o the_o air_n which_o fill_v that_o one_o great_a poor_a of_o the_o cavity_n be_v in_o the_o whole_a more_o rare_a and_o consequent_o more_o light_a than_o the_o same_o proportionable_a extension_n of_o

simple_o consider_v in_o themselves_o which_o if_o they_o be_v as_o certain_o they_o be_v than_o there_o be_v also_o such_o density_n and_o rarity_n both_o of_o the_o matter_n of_o any_o porous_a body_n and_o of_o that_o which_o fill_v the_o pore_n simple_o considere_v in_o themselves_o and_o indeed_o if_o we_o shall_v consider_v density_n and_o rarity_n only_o complexively_a and_o not_o simple_o there_o shall_v be_v no_o density_n and_o rarity_n in_o the_o world_n which_o will_v take_v away_o the_o very_a subject_n of_o the_o question_n for_o the_o whole_a world_n be_v one_o

consider_v the_o reason_n thereof_o which_o must_v be_v this_o that_o a_o more_o porous_a body_n be_v therefore_o more_o rare_a because_o the_o pore_n be_v fill_v with_o more_o rare_a matter_n unless_o we_o plea_n to_o admit_v a_o vacuity_n therein_o which_o be_v another_o subterfuge_n of_o this_o question_n but_o now_o we_o will_v consider_v it_o as_o fill_v with_o some_o other_o matter_n which_o if_o it_o be_v equidens_fw-la will_v make_v the_o whole_a complex_n body_n equidens_fw-la and_o therefore_o necessary_o must_v be_v more_o rare_a to_o make_v the_o porous_a body_n more_o rare_a and_o then_o i_o demand_v why_o be_v that_o matter_n more_o rare_a which_o so_o fill_v it_o and_o according_a to_o the_o same_o reason_n it_o must_v likewise_o be_v because_o that_o matter_n be_v a_o body_n more_o porous_a and_o the_o pore_n thereof_o fill_v with_o another_o matter_n more_o rare_a than_o itself_o and_o so_o infinite_o which_o be_v both_o irrational_a and_o impossible_a for_o suppose_v the_o pore_n of_o any_o terreous_a body_n to_o be_v fill_v with_o water_n and_o any_o pore_n of_o that_o with_o air_n and_o any_o pore_n of_o that_o with_o aether_n and_o any_o pore_n of_o that_o with_o superaeâ—hereous_a matter_n yet_o we_o must_v at_o last_o stop_v somewhere_o and_o confess_v either_o that_o the_o last_o matter_n be_v more_o rare_a in_o itself_o which_o will_v destroy_v the_o reason_n assign_v or_o otherwise_o that_o the_o pore_n thereof_o be_v not_o fill_v but_o that_o the_o last_o porous_a body_n have_v only_o intersperse_v vacuitys_n and_o so_o indeed_o whosoever_o do_v deny_v density_n and_o rarity_n of_o the_o matter_n in_o itself_o if_o he_o be_v true_a to_o his_o own_o reason_n must_v hold_v a_o absolute_a vacuum_n in_o nature_n whereof_o i_o

the_o density_n or_o rarity_n of_o the_o matter_n in_o itself_o whether_o porous_a or_o not_o porous_a or_o whether_o the_o pore_n thereof_o be_v fill_v or_o not_o fill_v now_o if_o there_o be_v

great_a question_n and_o do_v also_o contain_v the_o other_o i_o shall_v solemn_o argue_v it_o according_a to_o my_o manner_n certain_o there_o be_v no_o such_o fix_a standard_n of_o density_n in_o the_o matter_n itself_o and_o in_o the_o nature_n thereof_o that_o it_o can_v not_o possible_o be_v more_o or_o less_o den_n or_o that_o god_n can_v not_o have_v create_v the_o matter_n more_o or_o less_o den_n because_o there_o be_v no_o contradiction_n in_o it_o for_o it_o shall_v be_v matter_n whether_o more_o less_o den_n and_o if_o god_n may_v as_o he_o please_v have_v create_v the_o whole_a matter_n more_o or_o less_o den_n than_o he_o can_v also_o create_v one_o part_n of_o the_o matter_n more_o den_n and_o another_o less_o den_n and_o so_o indeed_o he_o have_v for_o he_o create_v both_o heaven_n and_o earth_n whereof_o the_o heaven_n and_o heavenly_a body_n be_v less_o den_n and_o more_o rare_a and_o the_o earth_n and_o earthly_a body_n more_a den_n and_o less_o rare_a and_o if_o he_o can_v create_v one_o body_n more_o den_n and_o another_o more_o rare_a than_o he_o can_v also_o cause_v the_o den_n body_n to_o become_v more_o rare_a or_o the_o rare_a to_o become_v more_o den_n and_o so_o also_o he_o have_v for_o he_o make_v the_o water_n which_o be_v more_o den_n to_o ascend_v in_o vapour_n which_o be_v more_o rare_a otherwise_o they_o can_v not_o so_o

through_o the_o air._n also_o i_o prove_v it_o by_o the_o product_n of_o density_n and_o rarity_n which_o be_v gravity_n and_o levity_n and_o their_o very_a motion_n of_o descent_n and_o ascent_n according_a to_o the_o hydrostatical_a rule_n of_o archimedes_n and_o all_o other_o since_o he_o that_o more_o matter_n of_o less_o extension_n will_v sink_v through_o less_o matter_n of_o more_o

that_o it_o be_v of_o less_o matter_n be_v of_o more_o extension_n and_o if_o there_o be_v density_n and_o rarity_n than_o also_o condensation_n and_o rarefaction_n of_o body_n as_o i_o have_v show_v

the_o diurnal_a light_n in_o this_o first_o day_n do_v not_o fill_v one_o whole_a hemisphere_n but_o only_o some_o such_o part_n thereof_o as_o according_a to_o the_o vigour_n and_o extent_n of_o

call_v darkness_n and_o though_o it_o be_v not_o strict_o such_o darkness_n as_o be_v in_o the_o chaos_n yet_o the_o expression_n be_v not_o therefore_o popular_a so_o as_o some_o will_v make_v all_o

which_o yet_o as_o i_o have_v show_v it_o can_v do_v diurnaly_n because_o that_o motion_n be_v according_a to_o the_o aequator_fw-la again_o verticity_n which_o be_v the_o only_a motion_n of_o one_o

there_o be_v no_o need_n nor_o use_v thereof_o and_o such_o potentialitys_n though_o they_o be_v never_o reduce_v into_o act_n be_v not_o vain_a because_o they_o be_v hypothetical_n and_o first_o

again_o whatsoever_o thing_n be_v real_a may_v realy_n differ_v from_o other_o in_o the_o thing_n themselves_o and_o nature_n thereof_o so_o that_o real_a difference_n be_v not_o only_o corporeal_a

though_o entity_n itself_o be_v only_o generical_a yet_o there_o be_v also_o specifical_a and_o particular_a essence_n and_o difference_n thus_o a_o angel_n in_o a_o body_n and_o the_o body_n be_v

their_o difference_n be_v not_o only_o from_o their_o several_a localitys_n but_o from_o their_o several_a specifical_a nature_n so_o also_o the_o soul_n and_o body_n of_o man_n be_v now_o different_a though_o not_o yet_o separate_v but_o only_o separable_a by_o death_n and_o shall_v be_v different_a after_o the_o resurrection_n when_o they_o shall_v be_v inseparable_a as_o well_o as_o after_o
