fermentation_n or_o dilatation_n of_o the_o liquor_n probable_o be_v not_o enough_o know_v to_o all_o that_o shall_v read_v this_o book_n to_o pretend_v to_o have_v show_v a_o effect_n when_o we_o have_v in_o general_n discover_v that_o its_o cause_n be_v fermentation_n but_o we_o must_v not_o resolve_v all_o particular_a question_n by_o go_v back_o unto_o the_o first_o cause_n it_o be_v not_o because_o we_o can_v by_o this_o demonstrate_v and_o discover_v the_o true_a system_n upon_o which_o all_o particular_a effect_n depend_v provide_v we_o stop_v only_o at_o clear_a idea_n but_o that_o this_o manner_n of_o philosophize_v be_v neither_o the_o most_o exact_a nor_o short_a to_o explain_v what_o i_o mean_v we_o must_v know_v there_o be_v question_n of_o two_o sort_n in_o the_o first_o we_o try_v to_o discover_v the_o nature_n and_o property_n of_o something_o in_o the_o other_o we_o only_o desire_v to_o know_v if_o such_o a_o thing_n have_v or_o have_v not_o such_o a_o propriety_n or_o if_o we_o know_v it_o have_v such_o a_o propriety_n we_o will_v only_o know_v the_o cause_n of_o it_o to_o resolve_v question_n of_o the_o first_o kind_a we_o must_v consider_v thing_n in_o their_o original_a and_o always_o conceive_v they_o produce_v by_o the_o most_o simple_a and_o most_o natural_a way_n to_o resolve_v the_o rest_n a_o very_a different_a manner_n must_v be_v take_v they_o must_v be_v do_v by_o supposition_n and_o we_o must_v examine_v whether_o these_o supposition_n make_v we_o guilty_a of_o any_o absurdity_n or_o if_o they_o conduce_v to_o any_o truth_n clear_o know_v for_o instance_n we_o will_v discover_v what_o be_v the_o property_n of_o the_o cycloid_v or_o of_o some_o of_o the_o conic_a section_n these_o line_n must_v be_v consider_v in_o their_o generation_n and_o form_v according_a to_o the_o most_o simple_a and_o least_o perplex_a way_n for_o it_o be_v the_o best_a and_o short_a method_n to_o discover_v the_o nature_n and_o property_n of_o they_o we_o easy_o see_v that_o the_o subtense_n of_o the_o cycloid_v be_v equal_a to_o the_o circle_n which_o form_n it_o and_o if_o we_o do_v not_o easy_o discover_v many_o property_n by_o this_o mean_n it_o be_v because_o the_o circular_a line_n which_o serve_v to_o form_v it_o be_v not_o sufficient_o know_v but_o for_o these_o line_n pure_o mathematical_a or_o such_o who_o relation_n we_o can_v know_v more_o exact_o as_o conic_a section_n we_o may_v discover_v a_o great_a number_n of_o their_o property_n by_o consider_v they_o in_o their_o generation_n we_o must_v only_o observe_v that_o as_o they_o may_v be_v generate_v by_o a_o regular_a motion_n several_a way_n so_o all_o sort_n of_o generation_n be_v not_o equal_o proper_a to_o enlighten_v the_o mind_n but_o the_o most_o simple_a be_v the_o best_a and_o that_o it_o often_o happen_v that_o certain_a particular_a method_n be_v more_o proper_a than_o other_o to_o demonstrate_v some_o particular_a property_n but_o if_o the_o question_n be_v not_o in_o general_a to_o discover_v the_o property_n of_o a_o thing_n but_o to_o know_v if_o a_o thing_n have_v such_o a_o property_n then_o it_o must_v be_v suppose_v that_o it_o have_v it_o effective_o and_o examine_v attentive_o what_o must_v follow_v this_o supposition_n whether_o it_o lead_v to_o a_o manifest_a absurdity_n or_o else_o to_o some_o undoubted_a truth_n which_o may_v serve_v as_o a_o mean_n to_o discover_v what_o we_o inquire_v after_o and_o it_o be_v that_o method_n geometrician_n make_v use_v of_o to_o resolve_v their_o problem_n they_o suppose_v as_o do_v what_o they_o seek_v for_o and_o examine_v what_o must_v happen_v from_o thence_o and_o attentive_o consider_v the_o relation_n which_o result_n from_o their_o supposition_n they_o represent_v all_o these_o relation_n which_o include_v the_o condition_n of_o the_o problem_n by_o equation_n and_o afterward_o reduce_v these_o equation_n according_a to_o their_o rule_n so_o that_o what_o be_v unknown_a they_o find_v equal_a to_o one_o or_o many_o thing_n perfect_o know_v if_o the_o question_n than_o be_v in_o general_a to_o discover_v the_o nature_n of_o fire_n and_o the_o different_a fermentation_n which_o be_v the_o most_o universal_a cause_n of_o natural_a effect_n i_o say_v that_o the_o short_a and_o most_o secure_a way_n be_v to_o examine_v it_o in_o its_o original_a we_o must_v consider_v the_o formation_n of_o the_o most_o agitate_a body_n the_o motion_n of_o which_o be_v disperse_v into_o those_o that_o ferment_n by_o clear_a idea_n and_o the_o most_o simple_a way_n we_o must_v examine_v what_o motion_n be_v capable_a of_o produce_v in_o matter_n and_o because_o fire_n and_o different_a fermentation_n be_v very_o general_a thing_n and_o which_o consequent_o depend_v upon_o few_o cause_n it_o will_v not_o be_v requisite_a long_o to_o consider_v what_o matter_n be_v capable_a of_o when_o it_o be_v animate_v by_o motion_n to_o discover_v the_o nature_n of_o fermentation_n be_v its_o principle_n and_o at_o the_o same_o time_n we_o shall_v learn_v many_o other_o thing_n absolute_o necessary_a to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o physics_n whereas_o if_o in_o this_o question_n we_o will_v reason_v by_o supposition_n we_o shall_v go_v back_o to_o the_o first_o cause_n to_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n according_a to_o which_o all_o thing_n be_v form_v and_o suppose_v many_o false_a thing_n which_o will_v be_v of_o no_o use_n we_o may_v soon_o discover_v that_o the_o cause_n of_o fermentation_n be_v the_o motion_n of_o a_o invisible_a matter_n which_o communicate_v its_o self_n to_o the_o part_n of_o that_o which_o act_n it_o for_o we_o know_v plain_a enough_o that_o fire_n and_o the_o different_a fermentation_n of_o body_n consist_v in_o their_o agitation_n and_o that_o by_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n body_n immediate_o receive_v their_o motion_n only_o by_o their_o meeting_n with_o some_o other_o more_o agitate_a thus_o we_o may_v discover_v that_o there_o be_v a_o invisible_a matter_n who_o agitation_n be_v communicate_v to_o visible_a body_n but_o it_o will_v be_v moral_o impossible_a by_o way_n of_o supposition_n to_o discover_v how_o it_o be_v do_v and_o it_o be_v not_o near_o so_o difficult_a to_o discover_v when_o we_o examine_v the_o formation_n of_o the_o element_n or_o some_o body_n whereof_o there_o be_v a_o great_a number_n of_o the_o same_o nature_n as_o be_v evident_a by_o mr._n descartes_n system_fw-la the_o three_o part_n of_o the_o question_n which_o be_v of_o convulsive_a motion_n will_v not_o be_v very_o difficult_a to_o resolve_v provide_v we_o suppose_v in_o body_n animal_n spirit_n capable_a of_o some_o fermentation_n and_o of_o humour_n sufficient_o penetrate_v to_o insinuate_v themselves_o into_o the_o pore_n of_o the_o nerve_n by_o which_o the_o spirit_n disperse_v themselves_o through_o the_o muscle_n provide_v also_o we_o do_v not_o pretend_v to_o determine_v what_o the_o true_a disposition_n of_o the_o invisible_a part_n be_v which_o contribute_v to_o these_o convulsive_a motion_n when_o we_o have_v separate_v a_o muscle_n from_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o body_n and_o hold_v it_o by_o the_o extremity_n we_o sensible_o perceive_v that_o it_o make_v all_o its_o effort_n to_o contract_v itself_o when_o we_o prick_v it_o in_o the_o middle_a it_o be_v very_o probable_a that_o this_o depend_v upon_o the_o construction_n of_o the_o imperceptible_a part_n that_o compose_v it_o which_o like_o so_o many_o spring_n be_v determine_v to_o certain_a motion_n by_o this_o prick_a but_o who_o can_v affirm_v they_o have_v find_v the_o true_a disposition_n of_o the_o part_n which_o serve_v to_o produce_v this_o motion_n or_o who_o can_v give_v a_o undoubted_a demonstration_n of_o it_o certain_o it_o will_v appear_v impossible_a although_o it_o may_v be_v through_o the_o power_n of_o thought_n we_o can_v imagine_v a_o construction_n of_o the_o muscle_n fit_a to_o perform_v all_o the_o motion_n we_o see_v they_o capable_a of_o yet_o must_v we_o not_o think_v to_o determine_v what_o be_v the_o true_a construction_n of_o the_o muscle_n but_o because_o we_o can_v reasonable_o doubt_v that_o there_o be_v spirit_n susceptible_a of_o some_o fermentation_n by_o the_o mixture_n of_o some_o subtle_a matter_n and_o that_o the_o sharp_a and_o pungent_a humour_n may_v insinuate_v themselves_o into_o the_o nerve_n we_o may_v suppose_v it_o to_o resolve_v the_o question_n propose_v we_o must_v first_o examine_v how_o many_o sort_n of_o

and_o violent_a they_o be_v for_o some_o of_o they_o be_v perform_v very_o quick_a

act_n of_o god_n as_o i_o have_v already_o show_v but_o also_o because_o we_o know_v those_o thing_n after_o a_o very_a perfect_a manner_n and_o also_o we_o shall_v know_v they_o after_o a_o

that_o it_o be_v in_o ourselves_o we_o see_v whatever_o we_o know_v by_o sensation_n not_o that_o we_o can_v produce_v any_o new_a modification_n in_o ourselves_o or_o that_o the_o sensation_n or_o
