therefore_o his_o first_o element_n be_v much_o more_o agitate_a than_o the_o second_o and_o the_o second_o than_o the_o three_o but_o the_o cause_n of_o it_o be_v clear_a without_o have_v any_o

that_o a_o boat_n for_o instance_n can_v never_o have_v so_o much_o motion_n as_o a_o equal_a bulk_n of_o water_n since_o the_o boat_n can_v only_o receive_v from_o the_o water_n that_o motion_n

for_o a_o explanation_n of_o these_o thing_n to_o suppose_v any_o force_n in_o rest_n to_o resist_v motion_n the_o certainty_n of_o descartes_n principle_n can_v be_v a_o sufficient_a proof_n to_o

those_o who_o pretend_v the_o power_n we_o have_v of_o move_v our_o arm_n be_v a_o true_a power_n must_v confess_v that_o god_n can_v also_o give_v to_o spirit_n the_o power_n of_o create_v

will_v in_o this_o case_n that_o a_o body_n shall_v move_v when_o it_o be_v will_v by_o a_o angel_n there_o be_v a_o necessary_a connexion_n therefore_o between_o the._n will_n of_o god_n and_o the_o

but_o to_o show_v it_o yet_o more_o clear_o let_v we_o suppose_v that_o god_n will_v it_o shall_v happen_v quite_o contrary_a to_o what_o some_o
spirit_n desire_v as_o we_o may_v think_v of_o devil_n or_o some_o other_o spirit_n who_o merit_n this_o punishment_n we_o can_v say_v in_o this_o case_n that_o god_n communicate_v his_o power_n to_o

such_o body_n shall_v be_v move_v to_o the_o right_a hand_n because_o these_o spirit_n will_v have_v they_o move_v to_o the_o left_a and_o the_o desire_n of_o these_o spirit_n will_v determine_v the_o

resist_v the_o power_n of_o the_o motion_n we_o impress_v on_o it_o which_o will_v not_o happen_v in_o a_o void_a and_o what_o manifest_o show_v we_o that_o water_n resist_v the_o motion_n we_o

vessel_n agitate_a in_o the_o water_n by_o little_a and_o little_o cease_v to_o move_v it_o be_v a_o undoubted_a mark_n that_o the_o water_n resist_v its_o motion_n instead_o of_o facilitate_v it_o as_o descartes_n pretend_v and_o consequent_o it_o will_v yet_o be_v infinite_o more_o easy_a to_o agitate_v a_o great_a body_n in_o a_o void_a than_o in_o water_n since_o there_o be_v no_o resistance_n from_o body_n about_o it_o it_o be_v therefore_o evident_a that_o rest_n have_v no_o power_n to_o resist_v motion_n that_o the_o least_o motion_n contain_v more_o power_n and_o force_n than_o the_o grear_a rest_n or_o at_o least_o that_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o measure_v the_o force_n of_o motion_n and_o rest_n by_o the_o proportion_n that_o be_v find_v between_o great_a body_n which_o be_v in_o motion_n and_o in_o rest_n as_o descartes_n have_v do_v it_o be_v true_a there_o be_v some_o reason_n to_o believe_v that_o a_o vessel_n be_v agitate_a as_o soon_o as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o water_n because_o of_o the_o continual_a change_n which_o happen_v to_o the_o part_n of_o the_o water_n that_o encompass_v it_o although_o it_o seem_v to_o we_o that_o it_o do_v not_o

a_o foot_n against_o the_o first_o towards_o the_o side_n a_o i_o shall_v see_v it_o advance_v and_o from_o thence_o i_o conclude_v that_o it_o may_v be_v move_v if_o in_o a_o void_a with_o less_o

plain_a that_o according_a to_o this_o answer_n the_o piece_n of_o wood_n be_v once_o agitate_a must_v not_o diminish_v its_o motion_n but_o on_o the_o contrary_a continual_o augment_v it_o 5._o art_n 5._o for_o by_o this_o answer_n the_o piece_n
of_o wood_n be_v push_v more_o by_o the_o water_n to_o the_o side_n of_o a_o than_o to_o the_o side_n of_o b_o therefore_o it_o must_v always_o advance_v towards_o it_o and_o because_o this_o

on_o all_o side_n reflect_v with_o all_o their_o motion_n they_o communicate_v none_o to_o it_o and_o consequent_o this_o body_n must_v always_o be_v consider_v as_o in_o rest_n and_o without_o any_o

this_o that_o we_o can_v conceive_v the_o thing_n to_o be_v otherwise_o the_o water_n that_o touch_v this_o body_n must_v grow_v cold_a or_o even_o freeze_v and_o become_v very_o near_o as_o hard_o

nevertheless_o i_o shall_v further_o give_v some_o positive_a proof_n of_o this_o opinion_n after_o i_o have_v explain_v it_o more_o at_o large_a by_o some_o example_n take_v a_o globe_n of_o any_o
