be_v hard_a indeed_o to_o determine_v what_o will_v follow_v in_o this_o imaginary_a case_n from_o a_o innate_a principle_n of_o gravity_n but_o to_o hasten_v to_o a_o conclusion_n we_o will_v grant_v for_o the_o present_a that_o the_o diffuse_a matter_n may_v convene_v into_o a_o infinite_a number_n of_o great_a mass_n at_o great_a distance_n from_o one_o another_o like_o the_o star_n and_o

that_o the_o same_o argument_n that_o we_o have_v use_v before_o may_v be_v equal_o urge_v in_o this_o supposition_n and_o though_o we_o shall_v concede_fw-la that_o these_o revolution_n may_v be_v

so_o long_a a_o duration_n as_o the_o know_a age_n of_o the_o world_n must_v necessary_o infer_v the_o existence_n of_o god_n for_o though_o the_o universe_n be_v infinite_a the_o fix_a star_n can_v not_o be_v fix_v but_o will_v natural_o convene_v together_o and_o confound_v system_n with_o system_fw-la for_o all_o mutual_o attract_v every_o one_o will_v move_v whither_o it_o be_v most_o powerful_o draw_v this_o they_o may_v say_v be_v indubitable_a in_o the_o case_n of_o a_o finite_a world_n where_o some_o system_n must_v needs_o be_v outmost_a and_o therefore_o be_v draw_v towards_o the_o middle_a but_o when_o infinite_a system_n succeed_v one_o another_o through_o a_o infinite_a space_n and_o none_o be_v either_o inward_a or_o outward_a may_v not_o all_o the_o system_n be_v situate_v in_o a_o accurate_a poise_n and_o because_o equal_o attract_v on_o all_o side_n remain_v fix_v and_o unmoved_a but_o to_o this_o we_o reply_v that_o unless_o the_o very_a mathematical_a

in_o a_o exact_a equilibrium_n be_v the_o centre_n of_o its_o gravity_n in_o what_o position_n soever_o this_o will_v overthrow_v their_o very_a hypothesis_n at_o this_o rate_n in_o a_o infinite_a

it_o to_o your_o consideration_n from_o what_o principle_n they_o can_v proceed_v it_o be_v demonstrate_v that_o the_o sun_n moon_n and_o all_o the_o planet_n do_v reciprocal_o gravitate_fw-la one_o towards_o another_o that_o the_o gravitating_a power_n of_o each_o of_o these_o be_v exact_o proportional_a to_o their_o matter_n and_o arise_v from_o the_o several_a gravitation_n or_o attraction_n of_o every_o individual_a particle_n that_o compose_v the_o whole_a mass_n that_o all_o matter_n near_o the_o surface_n of_o the_o earth_n for_o example_n do_v not_o only_a gravitate_fw-la downward_o but_o upward_o also_o and_o sideways_o and_o towards_o all_o imaginable_a point_n though_o the_o tendency_n downward_o be_v predominant_a and_o alone_a discernible_a because_o of_o the_o greatness_n and_o nearness_n of_o the_o attract_v body_n the_o earth_n that_o every_o particle_n of_o the_o whole_a system_n do_v attract_v and_o be_v attract_v by_o all_o the_o rest_n all_o operate_n upon_o

the_o explication_n of_o gravity_n these_o thing_n i_o say_v iii_o be_v full_o demonstrate_v as_o matter_n of_o fact_n by_o that_o very_a ingenious_a author_n who_o we_o cite_v before_o now_o how_o be_v it_o possible_a that_o these_o thing_n shall_v be_v effect_v by_o any_o material_a and_o mechanical_a agent_n we_o have_v evince_v that_o mere_a matter_n can_v operate_v upon_o matter_n without_o mutual_a contact_n it_o remain_v then_o that_o these_o phaenomena_n be_v produce_v either_o by_o the_o intervention_n of_o air_n or_o aether_n or_o other_o such_o medium_n that_o communicate_v the_o

of_o perform_v they_o mechanical_o but_o what_o impulse_n or_o agitation_n can_v be_v propagate_v through_o the_o aether_n from_o one_o particle_n entomb_v and_o wedge_v in_o the_o very_a centre_n of_o the_o earth_n to_o another_o in_o the_o centre_n of_o saturn_n yet_o even_o those_o two_o particle_n do_v reciprocal_o affect_v each_o other_o with_o the_o same_o force_n and_o vigour_n as_o they_o will_v do_v at_o the_o same_o distance_n in_o any_o other_o situation_n imaginable_a and_o because_o the_o impulse_n from_o this_o particle_n be_v not_o direct_v to_o that_o only_o but_o to_o all_o the_o rest_n in_o the_o universe_n to_o all_o quatter_n and_o region_n at_o once_o invariable_o and_o incessant_o to_o do_v this_o mechanical_o the_o same_o physical_a point_n of_o matter_n must_v move_v all_o manner_n of_o way_n equal_o and_o constant_o in_o the_o same_o instant_n and_o moment_n which_o be_v flat_o impossible_a but_o if_o this_o particle_n can_v propagate_v motion_n much_o less_o can_v it_o send_v out_o effluvia_fw-la to_o all_o point_n without_o intermission_n or_o variation_n such_o multitude_n of_o effluvia_fw-la as_o to_z lay_v hold_v on_o every_o atom_n in_o the_o universe_n without_o miss_v of_o one_o nay_o every_o single_a particle_n of_o the_o very_a effluvia_fw-la see_v they_o also_o attract_v and_o gravitate_fw-la must_v in_o this_o supposition_n emit_v other_o secondary_a effluvia_fw-la all_o the_o world_n over_o and_o those_o other_o still_o emit_v more_o and_o so_o in_o infinitum_fw-la now_o if_o these_o thing_n be_v repugnant_a to_o human_a reason_n we_o have_v great_a reason_n to_o affirm_v that_o universal_a gravitation_n a_o thing_n certain_o existent_a in_o nature_n be_v above_o all_o mechanism_n and_o material_a cause_n and_o proceed_v from_o a_o high_a principle_n a_o divine_a energy_n and_o impression_n iii_o three_o we_o affirm_v that_o though_o we_o shall_v allow_v that_o reciprocal_a attraction_n be_v essential_a to_o matter_n yet_o the_o atom_n of_o a_o chaos_n can_v never_o so_o convene_v by_o it_o as_o to_o form_v the_o present_a system_n or_o if_o they_o can_v form_v it_o yet_o it_o can_v neither_o acquire_v these_o revolution_n nor_o subsist_v in_o the_o present_a condition_n without_o the_o conservation_n and_o providence_n of_o a_o divine_a be_v 1._o for_o first_o if_o the_o matter_n of_o the_o universe_n and_o consequent_o the_o space_n through_o which_o it_o be_v diffuse_v be_v suppose_v to_o be_v finite_a and_o i_o think_v it_o may_v be_v demonstrate_v to_o be_v so_o but_o that_o we_o have_v already_o exceed_v the_o just_a measure_n of_o a_o sermon_n then_o since_o every_o single_a particle_n have_v a_o innate_a gravitation_n towards_o all_o other_o proportionated_a by_o matter_n and_o distance_n it_o evident_o appear_v that_o the_o outward_a atom_n of_o the_o chaos_n will_v necessary_o tend_v inward_o and_o descend_v from_o all_o quarter_n towards_o the_o middle_a of_o the_o whole_a space_n for_o in_o respect_n to_o every_o atom_n there_o will_v lie_v through_o the_o middle_a the_o great_a quantity_n of_o matter_n and_o the_o most_o vigorous_a attraction_n and_o will_v there_o form_v and_o constitute_v one_o huge_a spherical_a mass_n which_o will_v be_v the_o only_a body_n in_o the_o universe_n it_o be_v plain_a therefore_o that_o upon_o this_o supposition_n the_o matter_n of_o the_o chaos_n can_v never_o compose_v such_o divide_v and_o different_a mass_n as_o the_o star_n and_o planet_n of_o the_o present_a world_n but_o allow_v our_o adversary_n that_o the_o planet_n may_v be_v compose_v yet_o however_o they_o can_v not_o possible_o acquire_v such_o revolution_n in_o circular_a orb_n or_o which_o be_v all_o

the_o present_a distance_n be_v but_o that_o be_v notorious_o absurd_a for_o than_o they_o must_v have_v ascend_v from_o the_o place_n of_o their_o formation_n against_o the_o essential_a property_n of_o mutual_a attraction_n or_o be_v each_o form_v in_o the_o same_o orb_n in_o which_o they_o now_o move_v but_o then_o they_o must_v have_v move_v from_o the_o point_n of_o rest_n in_o a_o horizontal_a line_n without_o any_o inclination_n or_o descent_n now_o there_o be_v no_o natural_a cause_n neither_o innate_a gravity_n nor_o impulse_n of_o external_a matter_n that_o can_v beget_v such_o a_o motion_n for_o gravity_n alone_o must_v have_v carry_v they_o downward_o to_o the_o vicinity_n of_o the_o sun_n and_o that_o the_o ambient_fw-la aether_n be_v too_o liquid_a and_o empty_a to_o impel_v they_o horizontal_o with_o that_o prodigious_a celerity_n we_o have_v sufficient_o prove_v before_o or_o be_v they_o make_v in_o some_o high_a region_n of_o the_o heaven_n and_o from_o

but_o then_o why_o do_v they_o not_o continue_v their_o descent_n till_o they_o be_v contiguous_a to_o the_o sun_n whither_o both_o mutual_a attraction_n and_o impetus_fw-la carry_v they_o what_o natural_a agent_n can_v turn_v they_o aside_o can_v impel_v they_o so_o strong_o with_o a_o transverse_a side-blow_n against_o that_o tremendous_a weight_n and_o rapidity_n when_o whole_a world_n be_v
