concern_v the_o explication_n of_o this_o present_a phaenomenon_n by_o congruity_n and_o incongruity_n than_o i_o understand_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o agreement_n or_o disagreement_n of_o body_n as_o to_o their_o magnitude_n and_o motion_n those_o body_n than_o i_o suppose_v congruous_a who_o particle_n have_v the_o same_o magnitude_n and_o the_o same_o degree_n of_o velocity_n or_o else_o a_o harmonical_a proportion_n of_o magnitude_n and_o harmonical_a degree_n of_o velocity_n and_o those_o i_o suppose_v incongruous_a which_o have_v neither_o the_o same_o magnitude_n nor_o the_o same_o degree_n of_o velocity_n nor_o a_o harmonical_a proportion_n of_o magnitude_n nor_o of_o velocity_n i_o suppose_v then_o the_o sensible_a universe_n to_o consist_v of_o body_n and_o motion_n by_o body_n i_o mean_v somewhat_o receptive_a and_o communicative_a of_o motion_n or_o progression_n nor_o can_v i_o have_v any_o other_o idea_n thereof_o for_o neither_o extension_n nor_o quantity_n hardness_n nor_o softness_n fluidity_n nor_o fixedness_n rarefaction_n nor_o densation_n be_v the_o propriety_n of_o body_n but_o of_o motion_n or_o somewhat_o move_v by_o motion_n i_o understand_v nothing_o but_o a_o power_n or_o tendency_n progressive_a of_o body_n according_a to_o several_a degree_n of_o velocity_n these_o two_o do_v always_o counterbalance_v each_o other_o in_o all_o the_o effect_n appearance_n and_o operation_n of_o nature_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o impossible_a but_o that_o they_o may_v be_v one_o and_o the_o same_o for_o a_o little_a body_n with_o great_a motion_n be_v equivalent_a to_o a_o great_a body_n with_o little_a motion_n as_o to_o all_o its_o sensible_a effect_n in_o nature_n i_o do_v further_o suppose_v then_o that_o all_o thing_n in_o the_o
