but_o their_o superficies_n only_o as_o 4_o to_o 9_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o other_o circumstance_n be_v suppose_v equal_a of_o body_n that_o be_v alike_o the_o great_a move_n swift_a than_o the_o less_o it_o appear_v therefore_o that_o in_o respect_n to_o the_o same_o medium_fw-la there_o be_v three_o condition_n in_o a_o movable_a which_o make_v the_o motion_n swift_a viz._n bigness_n density_n and_o figure_n 12._o it_o follow_v out_o of_o what_o have_v be_v say_v that_o there_o can_v be_v no_o motion_n in_o a_o instant_n by_o a_o agent_n of_o a_o finite_a power_n for_o the_o space_n wherein_o it_o be_v make_v be_v divisible_a without_o end_n if_o the_o motion_n be_v in_o a_o instant_n the_o agent_n can_v move_v the_o movable_a through_o a_o space_n assign_v while_o the_o power_n which_o move_v the_o sun_n can_v not_o move_v that_o never_o so_o little_a a_o space_n since_o therefore_o space_n may_v diminish_v without_o end_n it_o be_v necessary_a the_o power_n be_v increase_v without_o end_n and_o consequent_o be_v infinite_a 13._o again_o since_o a_o great_a power_n be_v require_v to_o move_v the_o same_o movable_n more_o swift_o through_o the_o same_o medium_fw-la a_o movable_n can_v be_v transfer_v from_o a_o less_o to_o a_o great_a degree_n of_o velocity_n in_o a_o instant_n by_o a_o finite_a agent_n for_o since_o some_o power_n be_v requisite_a to_o give_v it_o a_o great_a velocity_n even_o in_o the_o same_o time_n and_o the_o proportion_n of_o time_n to_o a_o instant_n be_v infinite_a the_o power_n to_o give_v it_o such_o a_o velocity_n in_o a_o instant_n must_v be_v infinite_a 14._o whence_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o every_o movable_n which_o be_v raise_v from_o rest_n to_o motion_n pass_v through_o infinite_a degree_n of_o slowness_n great_a than_o that_o degree_n whereto_o we_o suppose_v it_o to_o be_v arrive_v for_o since_o every_o assign_v degree_n be_v divisible_a into_o infinite_a one_o which_o be_v between_o it_o and_o rest_n nor_o can_v a_o finite_a agent_n raise_v the_o movable_a from_o any_o of_o those_o to_o a_o assign_v degree_n in_o a_o instant_n much_o less_o can_v it_o transfer_v it_o from_o rest_n to_o a_o assign_v degree_n in_o a_o instant_n consequential_o to_o these_o position_n every_o movable_n that_o be_v reduce_v from_o rest_n to_o motion_n at_o the_o beginning_n increase_v in_o velocity_n but_o since_o to_o every_o finite_a agent_n there_o correspond_v a_o certain_a determinate_a degree_n of_o effect_n beyond_o which_o it_o have_v no_o power_n when_o it_o arrive_v once_o to_o that_o degree_n of_o velocity_n it_o will_v stand_v at_o it_o and_o the_o motion_n will_v increase_v no_o far_o 15._o but_o if_o to_o the_o difficulty_n of_o the_o medium_fw-la there_o be_v add_v a_o agent_n move_v a_o contrary_a way_n according_a to_o that_o agent_n power_n the_o velocity_n of_o the_o former_a movable_n will_v be_v diminish_v or_o the_o movable_n be_v even_o force_v to_o rest_n or_o to_o a_o opposite_a motion_n and_o thus_o it_o appear_v how_o motion_n begin_v and_o end_v 16._o last_o it_o may_v be_v conclude_v speculative_o speak_v that_o any_o weight_n whatever_o may_v be_v move_v a_o assign_v space_n by_o never_o so_o little_a a_o power_n for_o since_o the_o power_n must_v of_o necessity_n be_v multiply_v to_o increase_v the_o velocity_n as_o much_o as_o it_o fail_v in_o velocity_n so_o much_o may_v be_v abate_v in_o the_o power_n assign_v therefore_o a_o bulk_n to_o be_v move_v and_o a_o power_n to_o move_v it_o suppose_v another_o power_n which_o may_v be_v able_a in_o a_o certain_a time_n to_o move_v this_o bulk_n such_o a_o determine_a space_n and_o by_o how_o much_o this_o late_a power_n be_v great_a than_o the_o first_o assign_v somuch_o increase_v the_o time_n in_o which_o the_o movable_a shall_v be_v move_v through_o the_o propose_a space_n and_o because_o now_o the_o effect_n be_v so_o much_o less_o it_o will_v not_o exceed_v the_o power_n assign_v 17._o i_o say_v this_o be_v speculative_o true_a because_o when_o one_o shall_v go_v about_o to_o reduce_v it_o to_o practice_n a_o extreme_o little_a power_n can_v not_o be_v preserve_v so_o long_a time_n as_o be_v necessary_a to_o the_o effect_n lesson_n iu._n of_o the_o four_o first_o quality_n 1._o out_o of_o what_o have_v be_v say_v it_o be_v conclude_v that_o rare_a and_o dense_n be_v the_o first_o difference_n and_o that_o they_o by_o consequence_n like_o quantity_n be_v vary_v with_o endless_a difference_n see_v too_o that_o there_o be_v a_o perpetual_a tumult_n as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o world_n of_o heavy_a thing_n descend_v towards_o the_o centre_n of_o the_o earth_n there_o must_v of_o necessity_n be_v some_o degree_n of_o rare_a body_n so_o easy_o divisible_a that_o it_o need_v nothing_o but_o this_o very_a impulse_n to_o separate_v their_o part_n &_o carry_v they_o the_o near_a way_n to_o the_o centre_n 2._o such_o body_n therefore_o will_v spread_v themselves_o without_o any_o limit_n about_o the_o earth_n unless_o they_o be_v hinder_v whence_o they_o will_v have_v no_o proper_a figure_n of_o their_o own_o but_o when_o they_o encounter_v with_o a_o denser_n body_n upon_o which_o the_o impulse_n that_o divide_v they_o have_v not_o the_o like_a power_n there_o they_o will_v stop_v their_o division_n and_o receive_v a_o figure_n from_o that_o 3._o they_o will_v therefore_o be_v easy_o terminable_a by_o other_o bound_n hardly_o by_o their_o own_o but_o on_o the_o contrary_a body_n upon_o which_o the_o motion_n of_o gravity_n have_v not_o such_o force_n will_v be_v easy_o terminable_a by_o their_o own_o bound_n hardly_o by_o other_o now_o this_o nature_n and_o aristotle_n have_v assign_v for_o the_o notion_n of_o dryness_n that_o of_o moisture_n wherefore_o these_o will_v be_v dry_a body_n those_o moist_a 4._o it_o appear_v therefore_o both_o that_o all_o body_n that_o have_v a_o consistency_n be_v dry_a and_o that_o if_o there_o be_v any_o so_o rare_a that_o by_o all_o other_o it_o will_v be_v repel_v from_o the_o centre_n that_o be_v rare_a in_o the_o high_a degree_n that_o too_o be_v dry_a for_o its_o part_n take_v not_o easy_o their_o ply_v that_o be_v be_v not_o spread_v by_o the_o fall_n of_o heavy_a body_n but_o be_v carry_v by_o their_o own_o motion_n yet_o that_o which_o be_v dense_a in_o the_o high_a degree_n will_v be_v more_o dry_a because_o the_o rare_a receive_v a_o figure_n partly_o from_o those_o without_o it_o partly_o from_o itself_o 5._o but_o among_o moist_a body_n that_o which_o be_v rare_a be_v moist_a as_o more_o yield_v to_o the_o gravity_n which_o divide_v it_o 6._o you_o will_v object_v that_o dust_n and_o fire_n accommodate_v themselves_o to_o the_o bound_n of_o other_o body_n and_o therefore_o must_v be_v moist_a it_o be_v answer_v dust_n be_v not_o one_o body_n but_o many_o beside_o it_o do_v not_o so_o accommodate_v itself_o since_o if_o it_o lie_v free_a a_o heap_n of_o dust_n be_v full_a of_o air_n by_o which_o it_o be_v render_v so_o easy_o pliable_a fire_n too_o have_v a_o proper_a motion_n and_o be_v reflect_v when_o force_v by_o a_o hard_a body_n nor_o do_v it_o whole_o accommodate_v itself_o as_o appear_v in_o light_n and_o the_o flame_n of_o furnace_n 7._o again_o since_o by_o the_o same_o motion_n of_o heavy_a body_n rare_a one_o must_v necessary_o be_v press_v against_o dense_n and_o dense_a against_o rare_a if_o a_o very_a rare_a body_n be_v so_o force_v against_o a_o dense_n that_o it_o be_v constrain_v to_o make_v its_o way_n since_o it_o be_v divisible_a into_o minute_a part_n and_o it_o be_v easy_a to_o make_v a_o narrow_a than_o a_o wide_a way_n it_o be_v plain_a the_o rare_a body_n will_v bore_v itself_o a_o world_n of_o little_a passage_n and_o path_n and_o consequent_o will_v dissect_v the_o dense_n which_o oppose_v it_o into_o a_o infinity_n of_o little_a part_n 8._o whence_o it_o follow_v that_o if_o there_o be_v many_o heterogene_a body_n that_o be_v of_o a_o different_a nature_n shut_v up_o in_o the_o dense_a body_n all_o now_o be_v set_v at_o liberty_n by_o such_o dissection_n will_n by_o their_o proper_a motion_n gather_v themselves_o to_o their_o own_o party_n and_o be_v separate_v every_o one_o from_o those_o of_o another_o kind_n 9_o but_o if_o a_o dense_a body_n compress_v a_o rare_a one_o it_o will_v let_v nothing_o escape_v out_o of_o it_o but_o whatever_o if_o find_v it_o condense_n and_o crowd_n into_o a_o narrow_a room_n 10._o dense_n body_n therefore_o have_v this_o nature_n to_o gather_v together_o heterogene_a body_n that_o be_v they_o be_v cold_a and_o rare_a body_n to_o gather_v together_o homogene_a or_o body_n of_o the_o same_o kind_n but_o to_o disperse_v heterogene_a that_o be_v they_o be_v hot_a for_o nature_n and_o aristotle_n have_v give_v we_o
these_o notion_n of_o hot_a and_o cold_a 11._o and_o among_o rare_a body_n it_o be_v apparent_a the_o rare_a will_v be_v the_o best_a divider_n that_o be_v the_o hot_a but_o among_o dense_a body_n those_o will_v be_v the_o cold_a which_o most_o straight_o besiege_v the_o rare_a body_n and_o those_o be_v such_o as_o be_v most_o pliant_a to_o their_o part_n whence_o they_o which_o be_v in_o some_o measure_n moist_a too_o will_v be_v the_o cold_a lesson_n v._n of_o the_o element_n 1._o we_o have_v deduce_v therefore_o out_o of_o the_o most_o simple_a notion_n of_o quantity_n dissect_v by_o the_o only_a difference_n of_o more_o and_o less_o the_o rare_a body_n hot_a in_o the_o high_a degree_n and_o dry_a but_o not_o in_o the_o high_a degree_n the_o dense_v dry_a in_o the_o high_a degree_n and_o cold_a but_o not_o in_o the_o high_a degree_n a_o heavy_a or_o less_o rare_a body_n moist_a in_o the_o high_a degree_n but_o not_o so_o hot_a last_o a_o moderate_o dense_a body_n cold_a in_o the_o high_a degree_n but_o temperate_o moist_a 2._o these_o same_o body_n in_o as_o much_o as_o motion_n proceed_v from_o they_o to_o other_o be_v active_a but_o in_o as_o much_o as_o they_o sustain_v the_o action_n of_o other_o they_o be_v passive_a change_v thus_o in_o name_n not_o nature_n 3._o this_o property_n also_o of_o a_o element_n they_o have_v that_o they_o can_v be_v compound_v of_o other_o thing_n and_o all_o thing_n else_o be_v compound_v of_o they_o they_o be_v establish_v out_o of_o the_o first_o difference_n which_o of_o necessity_n be_v find_v in_o other_o there_o be_v therefore_o four_o element_n 4._o you_o will_v object_v since_o rare_a and_o dense_n vary_v the_o quantity_n by_o the_o very_a nature_n of_o quantity_n there_o will_v be_v infinite_a degree_n and_o thence_o the_o number_n of_o the_o element_n will_v neither_o be_v four_o nor_o indeed_o finite_a it_o be_v answer_v man_n do_v not_o determine_v the_o kind_n of_o thing_n according_a to_o the_o fruitfulness_n of_o nature_n but_o by_o gross_a and_o sensible_a difference_n according_a to_o the_o slowness_n of_o our_o apprehension_n 5._o thus_o therefore_o a_o rare_a body_n which_o make_v itself_o and_o other_o thing_n be_v see_v we_o call_v fire_n one_o that_o have_v not_o this_o virtue_n and_o yet_o hinder_v not_o other_o thing_n from_o make_v themselves_o see_v we_o call_v air_n a_o dense_n body_n which_o absolute_o exclude_v light_n we_o term_v earth_n one_o that_o partly_o admit_v it_o and_o partly_o repel_v it_o we_o term_v water_n 6._o not_o that_o wise_a man_n esteem_v these_o very_a body_n to_o be_v true_o element_n which_o we_o be_v conversant_a with_o round_a about_o we_o but_o that_o these_o mix_a body_n obtain_v that_o name_n out_o of_o the_o predominancy_n of_o some_o element_n in_o they_o which_o they_o will_v deserve_v if_o drain_v from_o all_o dregs_o they_o be_v entire_o refine_v into_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o predominant_a 7._o the_o element_n therefore_o be_v body_n distinguish_v pure_o by_o the_o difference_n of_o rare_a and_o dense_a and_o they_o be_v collect_v into_o four_o kind_n or_o head_n under_o the_o term_n we_o have_v give_v they_o 8._o moreover_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o no_o bound_n or_o figure_n do_v properly_z belong_v to_o the_o element_n out_o of_o their_o own_o principle_n that_o be_v precise_o by_o their_o own_o nature_n for_o since_o they_o be_v nothing_o but_o quantitative_a body_n affect_v with_o such_o a_o rarity_n or_o density_n the_o nature_n of_o quantity_n still_o remain_v which_o be_v every_o where_o divisible_a and_o terminable_a and_o consequent_o figurable_a as_o one_o please_v 9_o but_o whether_o there_o be_v not_o some_o great_a possible_a bulk_n in_o every_o one_o of_o the_o element_n out_o of_o the_o very_a nature_n of_o density_n depend_v upon_o metaphysical_a principle_n nevertheless_o out_o of_o their_o common_a operation_n a_o spherical_a figure_n be_v most_o agreeable_a to_o earth_n and_o fire_n to_o fire_n because_o its_o nature_n be_v to_o diffuse_v itself_o with_o the_o great_a celerity_n out_o of_o a_o little_a matter_n into_o a_o great_a breadth_n it_o must_v of_o necessity_n spread_v itself_o on_o all_o side_n that_o be_v into_o a_o sphere_n 10._o to_o earth_n as_o be_v the_o basis_n &_o foundation_n about_o which_o moist_a body_n diffuse_v themselves_o and_o by_o so_o do_v mould_v it_o into_o a_o globe_n 11._o but_o that_o fire_n flame_v up_o like_o a_o pyramid_n proceed_v from_o the_o resistance_n of_o the_o air_n encompass_v it_o which_o it_o be_v force_v to_o penetrate_v with_o a_o sharp_a point_n 12._o again_o since_o the_o element_n be_v oppose_v to_o one_o another_o only_o by_o the_o difference_n of_o rare_a and_o dense_a it_o be_v evident_a their_o transmutation_n into_o one_o another_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o rarefaction_n and_o condensation_n 13._o it_o be_v plain_a too_o that_o dense_a thing_n be_v force_v against_o rare_a do_v compress_v they_o and_o if_o there_o be_v no_o way_n to_o escape_v do_v necessary_o condense_a they_o which_o condensation_n if_o it_o be_v enough_o both_o in_o time_n and_o

it_o it_o be_v plain_a therefore_o that_o it_o will_v turn_v it_o into_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o rare_a element_n if_o the_o other_o circumstance_n concur_v which_o be_v necessary_a to_o action_n 15._o out_o of_o all_o which_o we_o may_v collect_v that_o one_o element_n can_v be_v change_v into_o another_o without_o be_v transfer_v through_o all_o the_o intermediate_v degree_n as_o if_o you_o

demonstrate_v above_o 13._o concern_v velocity_n that_o a_o movable_n can_v be_v raise_v out_o of_o one_o into_o another_o determinate_a degree_n but_o in_o time_n so_o with_o the_o same_o labour_n the_o same_o may_v be_v make_v evident_a concern_v density_n since_o the_o nature_n of_o quantity_n be_v equal_a and_o constant_a in_o both_o and_o velocity_n be_v nothing_o but_o a_o certain_a

be_v expose_v to_o our_o knowledge_n be_v finite_a and_o any_o never-so-little_a bulk_n infinite_o repeat_v exceed_v the_o great_a possible_a it_o follow_v that_o the_o singular_a body_n of_o this_o

be_v therefore_o in_o each_o of_o the_o element_n certain_v minute_a part_n which_o be_v either_o not_o at_o all_o or_o very_o seldom_o far_a divisible_a when_o therefore_o the_o element_n be_v force_v one_o against_o another_o the_o side_n of_o the_o rare_a one_o must_v of_o necessity_n become_v unite_v with_o the_o side_n of_o the_o dense_a but_o when_o they_o come_v to_o be_v divide_v again_o it_o be_v impossible_a they_o shall_v not_o leave_v some_o of_o those_o minute_a part_n stick_v to_o the_o dense_a body_n 3._o for_o since_o in_o the_o same_o quantity_n the_o dense_a part_n be_v less_o divisible_a than_o the_o rare_a that_o too_o which_o be_v compound_v of_o rare_a and_o dense_a in_o the_o same_o bulk_n be_v less_o divisible_a than_o the_o rare_a part_n of_o the_o same_o quantity_n it_o must_v needs_o be_v therefore_o that_o the_o rare_a element_n must_v stick_v by_o their_o minute_a part_n to_o the_o dense_n which_o they_o have_v once_o touch_v 4._o hence_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o the_o minute_a part_n be_v rub_v off_o on_o every_o side_n by_o the_o ouch_v together_o of_o divers_a element_n mix_v body_n must_v necessary_o be_v make_v for_o if_o two_o dense_a
