A50778	A new treatise of natural philosophy, free'd from the intricacies of the schools adorned with many curious experiments both medicinal and chymical : as also with several observations useful for the health of the body.	Midgley, Robert, 1655?-1723.	1687 (1687)	Wing M1995; ESTC R31226	136,898	356

in_o general_n the_o earth_n as_o have_v be_v say_v be_v a_o planet_n habitable_a have_v three_o motion_n the_o first_o of_o these_o be_v about_o its_o own_o proper_a centre_n which_o be_v not_o the_o centre_n of_o the_o world_n for_o the_o circle_n of_o the_o earth_n be_v eccentric_a this_o motion_n be_v impress_v upon_o it_o by_o the_o solar_a vortex_n as_o a_o great_a wheel_n carry_v a_o less_o

a_o year_n time_n to_o return_v to_o the_o same_o point_n and_o this_o arise_v likewise_o from_o the_o solar_a vortex_n for_o the_o earth_n be_v drive_v on_o by_o the_o flux_n of_o the_o centre_n of_o the_o universe_n can_v be_v move_v about_o its_o proper_a centre_n without_o sensible_o make_v a_o eccentric_a circle_n and_o from_o this_o twofold_a motion_n of_o it_o arise_v the_o other_o three_o viz._n from_o one_o pole_n to_o the_o other_o in_o the_o space_n of_o one_o six_o month_n and_o return_v back_o again_o in_o the_o space_n of_o six_o other_o which_o happen_v because_o it_o can_v go_v no_o far_o nor_o pass_v the_o tropic_a unless_o it_o recede_v from_o the_o solar_a circle_n for_o here_o it_o have_v only_o the_o latitude_n of_o the_o ecliptic_a for_o if_o it_o shall_v recede_v it_o must_v ascend_v too_o for_o whatsoever_o recede_v from_o the_o centre_n of_o the_o universe_n in_o respect_n of_o that_o ascend_v and_o so_o likewise_o from_o its_o proper_a centre_n the_o earth_n in_o all_o these_o motion_n carry_v the_o water_n along_o with_o it_o for_o they_o both_o make_v but_o one_o and_o the_o same_o globe_n which_o be_v altogether_o exact_a and_o regular_a on_o the_o sea_n part_n but_o less_o accurate_a on_o the_o earth_n part_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o vale_n and_o mountain_n and_o though_o it_o be_v true_a that_o the_o earth_n do_v not_o seem_v to_o we_o to_o

appear_v that_o the_o sea_n be_v as_o it_o be_v a_o belly_n and_o eminence_n which_o insensible_o be_v lift_v up_o into_o a_o convexity_n that_o so_o with_o the_o earth_n it_o may_v constitute_v one_o entire_a globe_n earth_n and_o water_n be_v two_o immediate_a principle_n of_o all_o compound_n which_o be_v to_o be_v see_v in_o this_o low_a region_n of_o the_o world_n yet_o notwithstanding_o not_o they_o but_o atom_n be_v the_o first_o element_n as_o it_o be_v say_v elsewhere_o there_o be_v moreover_o a_o lesser_a number_n of_o vacuity_n in_o terrestrial_a than_o in_o aqueous_a body_n and_o this_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o the_o earth_n be_v more_o solid_a and_o the_o water_n more_o fluid_a that_o be_v to_o say_v less_o solid_a than_o the_o earth_n chap._n ii_o of_o terrestrial_a inanimate_a body_n in_o general_n there_o be_v nothing_o simple_a but_o god_n a_o angel_n the_o rational_a soul_n atom_n and_o a_o vacuum_n god_n be_v essential_o simple_a in_o a_o simplicity_n of_o essence_n power_n and_o act_n for_o whatsoever_o be_v in_o he_o be_v a_o act_n his_o essence_n be_v no_o way_n compound_v nor_o his_o power_n idle_a nor_o his_o action_n ever_o interrupt_v a_o angel_n be_v simple_a in_o respect_n of_o essence_n but_o his_o power_n be_v not_o always_o in_o act_n nor_o his_o action_n at_o least_o the_o same_o without_o intermission_n the_o rational_a soul_n which_o be_v a_o spirit_n lay_v in_o pledge_n or_o at_o least_o a_o physical_a compound_v with_o a_o organical_a body_n be_v simple_a because_o it_o have_v neither_o integral_n physical_a nor_o contain_v part_n but_o itself_o be_v a_o physical_a part_n save_v only_o that_o its_o power_n be_v often_o idle_a and_o its_o action_n be_v change_v and_o interrupt_v a_o vacuum_n be_v simple_a for_o since_o it_o be_v neither_o a_o spirit_n nor_o matter_n nor_o any_o thing_n else_o but_o a_o capacity_n of_o receive_v a_o body_n and_o it_o have_v a_o essential_a emptiness_n it_o can_v be_v call_v simple_a but_o for_o as_o much_o as_o it_o can_v suffer_v composition_n by_o reason_n of_o its_o imperfection_n last_o atom_n be_v simple_a because_o they_o be_v indivisible_a and_o the_o first_o element_n of_o body_n out_o of_o which_o all_o compound_a body_n be_v frame_v i_o acknowledge_v no_o other_o element_n no_o other_o substantial_a material_a form_n in_o body_n for_o they_o be_v not_o only_o unnecessary_a but_o impossible_a yet_o it_o do_v not_o follow_v from_o thence_o that_o the_o diversity_n which_o occur_v between_o body_n constitute_v the_o world_n and_o which_o be_v the_o compound_n of_o the_o low_a world_n be_v no_o other_o than_o mere_o accidental_a and_o not_o at_o all_o essential_a for_o according_a to_o our_o principle_n we_o determine_v one_o composition_n to_o be_v substantial_o distinguish_v from_o another_o by_o atom_n which_o be_v the_o first_o principle_n of_o its_o composition_n and_o essential_o by_o the_o manner_n of_o composition_n that_o be_v by_o the_o disposition_n and_o ordination_n of_o its_o atom_n corpuscle_n and_o all_o its_o part_n they_o who_o conclude_v that_o there_o be_v no_o physical_a compound_v without_o a_o substantial_a form_n think_v matter_n alone_o with_o its_o diverse_a figure_n and_o in_o all_o its_o disposition_n can_v possible_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o special_a property_n which_o we_o observe_v in_o every_o one_o body_n and_o that_o therefore_o a_o form_n distinct_a from_o matter_n be_v require_v to_o produce_v quality_n proper_a to_o every_o one_o compound_v body_n as_o for_o example_n earth_n be_v in_o its_o nature_n dry_a and_o water_n be_v cold_a which_o can_v not_o happen_v unless_o earth_n do_v obtain_v a_o substantial_a form_n which_o be_v dryness_n and_o water_n such_o a_o one_o as_o cold_a require_v this_o be_v that_o form_n which_o restore_v dryness_n to_o the_o earth_n and_o cold_a to_o the_o water_n when_o they_o be_v put_v out_o of_o their_o natural_a state_n and_o condition_n to_o wit_n by_o introduce_v moisture_n into_o the_o first_o and_o heat_n into_o the_o latter_a this_o objection_n how_o strong_a so_o ever_o it_o may_v seem_v be_v nevertheless_o but_o vain_a for_o we_o say_v that_o neither_o the_o moisture_n of_o water_n nor_o the_o dryness_n of_o earth_n be_v accidental_a quality_n so_o that_o this_o aught_o to_o gravel_n none_o but_o those_o who_o acknowledge_v accidental_a quality_n distinct_a from_o matter_n we_o be_v quite_o another_o opinion_n and_o our_o language_n quite_o otherwise_o for_o we_o firm_o conclude_v that_o all_o compound_v body_n which_o be_v in_o the_o world_n be_v compound_v of_o matter_n every_o thing_n else_o be_v exclude_v and_o that_o all_o contingent_a change_n in_o they_o arise_v from_o matter_n new_o add_v or_o take_v away_o or_o change_v place_n or_o by_o some_o confuse_a atom_n or_o corpuscle_n bring_v thither_o from_o elsewhere_o or_o last_o by_o the_o more_o notable_a part_n change_v place_n or_o other_o way_n dispose_v by_o the_o action_n of_o external_a agent_n chap._n iii_o of_o the_o various_a quality_n to_o be_v observe_v in_o compound_v body_n there_o be_v a_o difference_n betwixt_o the_o quality_n of_o simple_a element_n which_o be_v atom_n and_o the_o quality_n of_o body_n compound_v of_o they_o for_o the_o first_o as_o well_o as_o atom_n be_v immutable_a and_o incorruptible_a the_o other_o as_o well_o as_o the_o compound_a body_n be_v mutable_a and_o fleet_a for_o indeed_o propriety_n follow_v the_o nature_n of_o that_o be_v of_o which_o it_o be_v the_o propriety_n so_o that_o if_o atom_n be_v immutable_a by_o their_o solidity_n the_o same_o must_v be_v say_v of_o their_o quality_n but_o body_n compound_v of_o many_o distinct_a part_n be_v force_v to_o be_v change_v as_o often_o as_o their_o part_n change_v place_n or_o be_v whole_o separate_v that_o which_o be_v corrupt_v as_o well_o as_o that_o which_o be_v generate_v de_fw-fr novo_fw-la be_v a_o composition_n for_o as_o corruption_n be_v a_o division_n of_o substance_n so_o generation_n be_v a_o composition_n of_o it_o to_o explain_v this_o opinion_n there_o be_v nothing_o more_o commodious_a than_o the_o example_n of_o syllable_n and_o word_n for_o true_o letter_n be_v immutable_a indeed_o and_o according_a to_o their_o different_a place_n they_o vary_v a_o syllable_n or_o word_n without_o change_v their_o figure_n substance_n and_o essence_n remain_v always_o the_o same_o in_o what_o state_n or_o disposition_n soever_o they_o be_v place_v

upon_o the_o regulus_n with_o their_o distinct_a ray_n disperse_v into_o one_o another_o and_o if_o the_o regulus_n be_v drive_v to_o the_o last_o degree_n of_o perfection_n the_o star_n disappear_v and_o there_o be_v see_v in_o the_o room_n of_o it_o a_o little_a thin_a net_n like_o a_o fisher_n net_n i_o be_o so_o far_o from_o deliver_v any_o thing_n upon_o the_o credit_n of_o other_o that_o

reason_n of_o it_o as_o may_v in_o some_o measure_n satisfy_v the_o reader_n understanding_n i_o do_v not_o brag_v that_o i_o be_o able_a to_o do_v it_o for_o there_o be_v few_o man_n which_o be_v rational_a i_o mean_v who_o be_v content_v with_o reason_n nevertheless_o you_o shall_v have_v my_o thought_n of_o the_o matter_n no_o man_n doubt_v but_o that_o iron_n represent_v the_o planet_n mars_n copper_n venus_n gold_n the_o sun_n silver_n the_o moon_n and_o tin_n jupiter_n if_o the_o quality_n of_o these_o metal_n be_v compare_v with_o those_o of_o the_o planet_n as_o the_o heaven_n do_v incessant_o influence_n the_o earth_n and_o the_o earth_n send_v back_o its_o corpuscle_n to_o the_o heaven_n in_o the_o form_n of_o vapour_n in_o the_o same_o manner_n do_v the_o heaven_n return_v they_o to_o the_o earth_n in_o rain_n and_o dew_n and_o though_o there_o be_v a_o general_a commerce_n between_o the_o heaven_n and_o the_o earth_n yet_o no_o man_n will_v deny_v but_o that_o there_o be_v a_o certain_a invisible_a and_o particular_a commerce_n betwixt_o they_o and_o that_o we_o may_v not_o speak_v of_o thing_n so_o general_a there_o be_v a_o more_o special_a commerce_n betwixt_o the_o sun_n and_o gold_n and_o betwixt_o the_o moon_n and_o silver_n mars_n and_o iron_n venus_n and_o copper_n so_o every_o planet_n have_v a_o special_a influence_n upon_o its_o metal_n and_o the_o nature_n of_o it_o by_o the_o mean_n of_o the_o invisible_a atom_n and_o corpuscle_n which_o proceed_v from_o the_o body_n of_o the_o planet_n which_o plain_o appear_v by_o all_o the_o former_a instance_n and_o among_o the_o rest_n for_o that_o the_o day_n and_o hour_n of_o the_o planet_n contribute_v to_o the_o formation_n and_o perfect_a of_o either_o the_o single_a or_o double_a star_n as_o we_o have_v observe_v about_o the_o starry_a regulus_n these_o thing_n be_v suppose_v i_o conceive_v that_o while_n antimony_n be_v melt_v with_o iron_n there_o be_v much_o vapour_n and_o smoke_n arise_v and_o this_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o the_o smoke_n evaporate_v in_o such_o plenty_n that_o it_o be_v troublesome_a to_o the_o artist_n who_o be_v oblige_v to_o stand_v at_o some_o distance_n if_o he_o will_v have_v a_o care_n of_o himself_o these_o vapour_n and_o smoke_n do_v ascend_v up_o which_o be_v meet_v with_o by_o the_o spirit_n and_o corpuscle_n of_o their_o planet_n do_v mingle_v with_o they_o and_o descend_v upon_o the_o metal_n and_o penetrate_v it_o because_o be_v melt_v it_o be_v open_a therefore_o these_o emancipate_v spirit_n do_v return_v more_o pure_a than_o they_o be_v and_o do_v so_o well_o intermix_v themselves_o with_o the_o open_a metal_n when_o it_o be_v melt_v and_o that_o they_o draw_v other_o to_o stick_v unto_o they_o whence_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o planet_n though_o invisible_a descend_v from_o the_o body_n of_o the_o planet_n not_o be_v able_a to_o enter_v into_o the_o regulus_n when_o it_o be_v remove_v from_o the_o fire_n and_o begin_v to_o cool_v be_v force_v to_o stick_v upon_o the_o upper_a and_o superficial_a part_n of_o the_o metal_n and_o there_o form_v the_o figure_n of_o the_o planet_n or_o planet_n from_o whence_o they_o do_v proceed_v and_o when_o copper_n be_v put_v to_o it_o there_o appear_v a_o double_a star_n and_o this_o star_n be_v the_o more_o elevate_v when_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o planet_n be_v more_o copious_a which_o they_o be_v at_o the_o day_n and_o hour_n where_o in_o the_o planet_n rule_v all_o these_o thing_n agree_v with_o experience_n for_o the_o single_a or_o double_a star_n do_v not_o appear_v till_o the_o metal_n begin_v to_o cool_v which_o require_v about_o the_o space_n of_o a_o hour_n and_o this_o star_n be_v form_v by_o degree_n which_o be_v strange_a nay_o to_o be_v wonder_v at_o whence_o it_o appear_v that_o there_o be_v a_o agreeableness_n between_o mars_n and_o iron_n and_o betwixt_o venus_n and_o copper_n and_o that_o there_o be_v a_o influence_n of_o their_o planet_n upon_o these_o two_o mettlas_n by_o the_o intervention_n of_o their_o corpuscle_n as_o for_o the_o net_n which_o we_o speak_v of_o it_o show_v the_o conjunction_n of_o the_o planet_n of_o both_o metal_n have_v the_o sun_n in_o the_o middle_n and_o i_o be_o not_o able_a to_o give_v any_o other_o reason_n for_o it_o unless_o that_o when_o the_o metal_n which_o be_v melt_v with_o the_o antimony_n begin_v to_o grow_v cold_a and_o that_o when_o the_o star_n enter_v into_o the_o body_n of_o the_o metal_n and_o disappear_v there_o be_v still_o remain_v certain_a corpuscle_n of_o the_o planet_n of_o both_o metal_n which_o be_v interweave_v in_o the_o middle_n of_o the_o mass_n which_o make_v this_o net_n whereof_o the_o fable_n seem_v to_o leave_v we_o a_o idea_n we_o must_v confess_v by_o the_o by_o that_o there_o be_v certain_a thing_n in_o nature_n which_o surpass_v our_o understanding_n and_o that_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o imagine_v with_o ourselves_o that_o we_o be_v able_a to_o satisfy_v all_o the_o learned_a in_o every_o thing_n but_o to_o go_v on_o with_o this_o chapter_n i_o observe_v likewise_o as_o there_o be_v metal_n which_o rejoice_v at_o the_o commerce_n which_o they_o have_v with_o the_o influence_n of_o some_o planet_n so_o there_o be_v part_n find_v in_o our_o body_n which_o correspond_v with_o particular_a planet_n as_o the_o heart_n with_o the_o
