and_o stop_v their_o journey_n so_o that_o such_o a_o body_n will_n as_o near_o as_o possible_o it_o can_v lie_v in_o a_o perfect_a spherical_a figure_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o centre_n and_o the_o

will_v run_v as_o far_o as_o it_o meet_v with_o nothing_o to_o hinder_v it_o from_o attain_v this_o spherical_a superficies_n wherefore_o such_o body_n for_o the_o most_o part_n have_v no_o settle_a

aristotle_n who_o definition_n be_v in_o these_o matter_n general_o receive_v as_o full_o express_v the_o notion_n of_o mankind_n tell_v we_o and_o our_o own_o experience_n confirm_v it_o that_o we_o

be_v the_o nature_n of_o those_o that_o have_v a_o great_a proportion_n of_o density_n in_o respect_n of_o their_o gravity_n and_o thus_o out_o of_o the_o comparison_n of_o density_n with_o weight_n we_o have_v find_v two_o more_o quality_n than_o we_o yet_o have_v meet_v withal_o namely_o wettenesse_n and_o dryness_n for_o although_o a_o body_n be_v dense_a which_o of_o its_o own_o nature_n single_o consider_v will_v preserve_v the_o continuity_n of_o its_o part_n as_o make_v the_o body_n hardly_o divisible_a whereby_o it_o will_v be_v dry_a yet_o if_o the_o gravity_n that_o work_v upon_o it_o be_v in_o proportion_n great_a than_o the_o density_n it_o will_v sever_v the_o part_n of_o it_o and_o make_v they_o run_v to_o the_o centre_n and_o so_o become_v fluid_n and_o moist_a though_o not_o in_o the_o eminent_a degree_n that_o may_v be_v of_o fluidity_n and_o moisture_n by_o reason_n that_o if_o the_o like_a overproportion_n of_o gravity_n happen_v in_o a_o rare_a body_n it_o will_v there_o more_o powerful_o work_v its_o effect_n than_o it_o can_v in_o a_o dense_a body_n because_o a_o rare_a body_n will_v more_o easy_o obey_v and_o yield_v to_o the_o gravity_n that_o master_v it_o than_o a_o dense_n one_o will_n and_o consequent_o will_v be_v more_o fluid_n and_o moist_a than_o it_o now_o on_o the_o other_o side_n in_o weigh_v rarity_n against_o gravity_n if_o it_o happen_v that_o the_o rarity_n overcome_v the_o gravity_n body_n than_o the_o gravity_n will_v not_o change_v the_o figure_n of_o a_o body_n so_o proportion_v but_o what_o figure_n it_o have_v from_o its_o proper_a natural_a cause_n the_o same_o will_v still_o remain_v with_o it_o and_o consequent_o such_o a_o body_n will_v have_v term_n of_o its_o own_o and_o will_v not_o require_v a_o ambient_fw-la body_n to_o limit_n and_o circle_v it_o in_o which_o nature_n we_o call_v dry_a but_o if_o the_o proportion_n of_o the_o gravity_n be_v the_o great_a and_o do_v overcome_v the_o rarity_n then_o by_o how_o much_o the_o rarity_n be_v great_a so_o much_o the_o more_o will_v the_o gravity_n force_v it_o to_o apply_v itself_o equal_o and_o on_o all_o side_n to_o the_o centre_n and_o such_o a_o body_n will_v the_o more_o easy_o receive_v its_o figure_n from_o a_o other_o and_o will_v be_v less_o able_a to_o consist_v of_o itself_o which_o property_n we_o attribute_v to_o wettenesse_n or_o moisture_n so_o that_o it_o appear_v how_o the_o quality_n of_o wet_a and_o dry_a which_o first_o we_o find_v in_o thing_n that_o be_v dense_a be_v also_o common_a to_o that_o nature_n of_o body_n which_o we_o term_v rare_a and_o thus_o by_o our_o first_o inquiry_n after_o what_o kind_n of_o body_n do_v result_v out_o of_o the_o compound_v of_o rarity_n and_o density_n with_o gravity_n we_o discover_v four_o different_a sort_n some_o dense_a one_o that_o be_v dry_a and_o other_o likewise_o dense_a that_o be_v moist_a then_o again_o some_o rare_a one_o that_o be_v likewise_o moist_a and_o other_o rare_a one_o that_o be_v dry_a but_o we_o must_v not_o rest_v here_o let_v we_o proceed_v a_o little_a further_o to_o search_v what_o other_o property_n these_o four_o kind_n of_o body_n will_v have_v one_o which_o we_o shall_v best_o discover_v if_o we_o apply_v they_o several_o to_o some_o other_o compound_v body_n of_o which_o nature_n be_v all_o those_o we_o converse_v with_o or_o see_v and_o then_o consider_v the_o effect_n which_o these_o do_v work_n upon_o it_o to_o begin_v with_o that_o which_o we_o say_v be_v so_o excessive_o rare_a that_o gravity_n have_v no_o power_n over_o it_o if_o we_o look_v upon_o the_o multitude_n of_o little_a part_n it_o may_v be_v divide_v into_o whereof_o every_o one_o will_v subsist_v by_o itself_o for_o we_o have_v already_o prove_v it_o dry_a and_o then_o suppose_v they_o to_o be_v move_v with_o force_n and_o strength_n against_o the_o body_n we_o apply_v they_o to_o it_o must_v necessary_o follow_v that_o they_o will_v

out_o in_o the_o same_o time_n unto_o which_o i_o answer_v out_o of_o the_o same_o ground_n as_o before_o that_o because_o in_o run_v twice_o as_o fast_o there_o go_v out_o double_a water_n in_o every_o part_n of_o time_n and_o again_o every_o part_n of_o water_n go_v a_o double_a space_n in_o the_o same_o part_n of_o time_n that_o be_v to_o say_v because_o double_v the_o celerity_n be_v draw_v into_o double_a the_o water_n and_o double_a the_o water_n into_o double_a the_o celerity_n therefore_o the_o present_a effect_n be_v to_o the_o former_a effect_n as_o the_o effect_n or_o

the_o quadrate_n of_o a_o double_a line_n be_v to_o the_o quadrate_n of_o half_a that_o line_n and_o so_o you_o see_v the_o reason_n of_o what_o he_o by_o experience_n find_v to_o be_v true_a though_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o when_o he_o shall_v set_v out_o the_o treatise_n which_o he_o have_v make_v of_o this_o subject_n the_o reader_n will_v have_v better_a satisfaction_n in_o the_o mean_a while_n a_o experience_n which_o galileo_n deliver_v will_v confirm_v this_o doctrine_n he_o say_v that_o to_o make_v the_o same_o pendant_n go_v twice_o as_o fast_o as_o it_o do_v or_o to_o make_v every_o undulation_n of_o it_o in_o half_a the_o time_n it_o do_v you_o must_v make_v the_o line_n at_o which_o it_o hang_v double_a in_o geometrical_a proportion_n to_o the_o line_n at_o which_o it_o hang_v before_o whence_o it_o follow_v that_o the_o circle_n by_o which_o it_o go_v be_v likewise_o in_o double_a geometrical_a proportion_n and_o this_o be_v certain_a that_o celerity_n to_o celerity_n have_v the_o proportion_n of_o force_n which_o weight_n have_v to_o weight_n it_o be_v evident_a that_o as_o in_o one_o case_n there_o must_v be_v weight_n in_o geometrical_a proportion_n so_o in_o the_o other_o case_n where_o only_a celerity_n make_v the_o variance_n the_o celerity_n must_v be_v in_o double_a geometrical_a proportion_n according_a as_o galileo_n find_v it_o by_o experience_n but_o to_o return_v to_o our_o main_a intent_n there_o be_v to_o be_v further_o note_v that_o if_o the_o subject_n strike_v be_v of_o a_o proportionate_a cessibility_n it_o seem_v to_o dull_a and_o

that_o in_o both_o case_n the_o effect_n be_v equal_a but_o diverse_a according_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v strike_v for_o no_o force_n that_o once_o be_v in_o nature_n can_v be_v lose_v but_o must_v have_v its_o adequate_a effect_n one_o way_n or_o other_o let_v we_o then_o first_o suppose_v the_o body_n strike_v to_o be_v a_o hard_a body_n of_o no_o exceed_a biggnesse_n in_o which_o case_n if_o the_o stroke_n light_v perpendiculary_a upon_o it_o it_o will_v carry_v such_o a_o body_n before_o it_o but_o if_o the_o body_n be_v too_o great_a and_o have_v its_o part_n so_o conjoin_v as_o that_o they_o be_v weak_a they_o the_o stroke_n in_o this_o case_n the_o stroke_n drive_v one_o part_n before_o it_o and_o so_o break_v it_o from_o the_o rest_n but_o last_o if_o the_o part_n of_o the_o strike_a body_n be_v so_o easy_o cessible_a as_o without_o difficulty_n the_o stroke_n can_v divide_v they_o than_o it_o enter_v into_o such_o a_o body_n until_o it_o have_v spend_v its_o force_n so_o that_o now_o make_v up_o our_o account_n we_o see_v that_o a_o equal_a effect_n proceed_v from_o a_o equal_a force_n in_o all_o the_o three_o case_n though_o in_o

for_o see_v we_o have_v say_v that_o no_o body_n have_v a_o natural_a intrinsical_a inclination_n unto_o any_o place_n to_o which_o it_o be_v able_a to_o move_v itself_o we_o must_v needs_o conclude_v that_o the_o motion_n of_o every_o body_n follow_v the_o percussion_n of_o extrinsecall_a agent_n it_o seem_v therefore_o impossible_a that_o any_o body_n shall_v have_v any_o motion_n natural_a to_o

which_o in_o the_o first_o chapter_n of_o this_o part_n we_o draw_v from_o the_o nature_n of_o be_v as_o for_o truth_n and_o falsehood_n they_o spring_v from_o the_o same_o root_n as_o the_o last_o

needs_o decede_v from_o their_o body_n unequal_o build_v if_o that_o expression_n may_v be_v permit_v i_o and_o will_v be_v like_o a_o lame_a unwieldy_a body_n in_o which_o the_o principal_a limb_n be_v not_o able_a to_o govern_v and_o move_v the_o other_o because_o those_o principal_a one_o be_v faint_a through_o want_n of_o spirit_n and_o exercise_n and_o the_o other_o be_v overgrow_v with_o hidropicall_a and_o nocive_a humour_n the_o reason_n whereof_o be_v that_o in_o such_o soul_n their_o judgement_n will_v be_v disproportion_v to_o one_o a_o other_o one_o of_o they_o be_v undue_o strong_a than_o the_o other_o what_o effect_n this_o work_v in_o regard_n of_o knowledge_n we_o have_v already_o declare_v and_o no_o less_o will_v it_o have_v in_o respect_n of_o action_n for_o suppose_v two_o judgement_n to_o be_v unequal_a and_o such_o as_o in_o the_o action_n one_o contradict_v the_o other_o for_o example_n let_v one_o of_o my_o judgement_n be_v that_o it_o be_v good_a for_o i_o to_o eat_v because_o i_o be_o hungry_a and_o let_v the_o other_o be_v that_o it_o be_v good_a for_o i_o to_o study_v because_o i_o be_o short_o to_o give_v a_o account_n of_o myself_o if_o the_o one_o judgement_n be_v strong_a than_o the_o other_o as_o if_o that_o of_o eat_v be_v strong_a than_o that_o of_o study_v it_o import_v not_o that_o there_o be_v more_o reason_n all_o circumstance_n consider_v for_o study_v because_o reason_n do_v move_v to_o action_n according_a to_o the_o measure_n in_o which_o the_o resolution_n that_o be_v take_v upon_o they_o be_v strong_a or_o weak_a and_o therefore_o my_o action_n will_v follow_v the_o strong_a judgement_n and_o i_o shall_v leave_v my_o book_n to_o go_v to_o my_o dinner_n now_o to_o apply_v this_o to_o the_o state_n of_o a_o separate_a soul_n we_o be_v to_o remember_v how_o the_o spiritual_a judgement_n which_o she_o collect_v in_o the_o body_n do_v remain_v in_o she_o after_o she_o be_v divest_v of_o it_o and_o likewise_o we_o be_v to_o consider_v how_o all_o her_o proceed_n in_o that_o state_n be_v build_v not_o upon_o passion_n or_o any_o bodily_a cause_n or_o disposition_n but_o mere_o upon_o the_o quality_n and_o force_n of_o those_o spiritual_a judgement_n and_o then_o it_o evident_o follow_v that_o if_o there_o be_v any_o such_o action_n in_o the_o next_o life_n the_o pure_a soul_n will_v apply_v itself_o thereunto_o according_a to_o the_o proportion_n of_o her_o judgement_n and_o as_o they_o be_v graduate_v and_o qualify_v it_o be_v true_a there_o be_v no_o such_o action_n remain_v in_o the_o next_o life_n yet_o nevertheless_o there_o remain_v in_o the_o soul_n a_o disposition_n and_o a_o promptitude_n to_o such_o action_n and_o if_o we_o will_v frame_v a_o right_a apprehension_n of_o a_o separate_a soul_n we_o must_v conceit_n she_o to_o be_v of_o such_o a_o nature_n for_o then_o all_o be_v nature_n with_o she_o as_o hereafter_o we_o shall_v discourse_v as_o if_o she_o be_v a_o thing_n make_v for_o action_n in_o that_o proportion_n and_o efficacity_n which_o the_o quarter_a of_o she_o by_o this_o variety_n of_o judgement_n do_v afford_v that_o be_v that_o she_o be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o fit_a for_o one_o action_n then_o for_o a_o other_o be_v she_o to_o proceed_v to_o action_n as_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o goodness_n of_o one_o of_o these_o action_n be_v strong_a in_o she_o than_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o other_o goodness_n which_o be_v in_o effect_n by_o how_o much_o the_o one_o be_v more_o cultivate_v than_o the_o other_o and_o out_o of_o this_o we_o may_v conclude_v that_o what_o motion_n do_v follow_v in_o a_o man_n out_o of_o discourse_n the_o like_a will_n in_o a_o separate_a soul_n follow_v out_o of_o her_o spiritual_a judgement_n so_o that_o as_o he_o be_v joy_v if_o he_o do_v possess_v his_o desire_a good_a and_o be_v discontent_v and_o displease_v if_o he_o miss_v of_o it_o and_o seize_v greedy_o upon_o it_o when_o it_o be_v present_a to_o he_o and_o then_o cleave_v fast_o unto_o it_o and_o while_o he_o want_v it_o no_o other_o good_a affect_v he_o but_o he_o be_v still_o long_v after_o that_o masterwish_a of_o his_o heart_n the_o like_a in_o every_o regard_n but_o much_o more_o vehement_o befall_v unto_o a_o separate_a soul_n so_o
