aether_n which_o environ_n the_o globe_n abide_v there_o in_o a_o perfect_a state_n of_o tranquillity_n and_o unmolested_a by_o any_o foreign_a force_n have_v leave_v to_o rest_v press_v or_o gravitate_fw-la by_o its_o own_o law_n and_o according_a to_o its_o native_a tendency_n which_o liberty_n i_o say_v it_o do_v not_o enjoy_v on_o other_o part_n of_o the_o globe_n where_o the_o sun_n action_n be_v more_o in_o force_n thus_o then_o i_o concieve_v and_o have_v as_o well_o as_o i_o can_v explain_v how_o the_o pole_n of_o the_o earth_n verticity_n be_v obtain_v the_o surround_v fluid_a lean_v or_o gravitate_v on_o the_o surface_n thereof_o by_o a_o strong_a pressure_n in_o those_o two_o point_n of_o the_o globe_n than_o it_o can_v be_v think_v to_o do_v in_o any_o other_o part_n whatsoever_o which_o pressure_n like_o two_o fulciment_n prop_n hold_n and_o sustain_v it_o in_o that_o regular_a posture_n wherein_o we_o find_v it_o to_o move_v or_o to_o give_v a_o plain_a similitude_n of_o my_o meaning_n by_o the_o strong_a rest_v of_o the_o fluid_a in_o and_o about_o these_o two_o opposite_a point_n whereby_o clipe_v as_o i_o may_v say_v and_o embrace_v the_o globe_n by_o a_o superior_a pressure_n there_o those_o two_o point_n become_v by_o that_o mean_n the_o centre_n of_o the_o earth_n revolve_v motion_n as_o intellible_o as_o a_o polish_a ball_n or_o sphere_n

of_o any_o competent_a force_n in_o a_o proper_a manner_n apply_v to_o produce_v it_o when_o i_o enter_v on_o this_o discourse_n i_o think_v to_o have_v pursue_v my_o argument_n through_o all_o the_o

that_o i_o be_o to_o expect_v far_o and_o more_o material_a objection_n than_o i_o may_v be_v aware_a of_o i_o have_v therefore_o consent_v to_o publish_v the_o first_o naked_a draught_n of_o my_o conjecture_n on_o this_o subject_a in_o a_o single_a essay_n which_o contain_v my_o principle_n and_o the_o out-line_n of_o my_o design_n the_o reader_n be_v thereby_o furnish_v with_o light_n into_o

receive_v with_o gratitude_n and_o consider_v with_o my_o utmost_a care_n truth_n be_v paint_v naked_a because_o in_o that_o simplicity_n of_o appearance_n she_o be_v best_o know_v and_o the_o more_o we_o beg_v or_o borrow_v or_o be_v drive_v for_o supply_n to_o wit_n or_o art_n to_o imbelish_v she_o the_o more_o we_o seem_v to_o disguise_v she_o and_o bewray_v the_o uncertainty_n of_o our_o knowledge_n about_o she_o her_o abode_n to_o as_o in_o our_o case_n be_v often_o in_o the_o cloud_n so_o that_o he_o who_o attempt_v to_o show_v she_o in_o the_o great_a undress_v may_v be_v think_v to_o do_v most_o right_o to_o her_o charm_n and_o whosoever_o shall_v give_v the_o best_a aim_n at_o the_o mean_n of_o resolve_v distant_a and_o doubtful_a cause_n by_o the_o plain_a and_o most_o

more_o lightsome_a and_o intelligible_a than_o by_o remote_a and_o metaphysical_a speculation_n wherein_o we_o know_v the_o great_a wit_n have_v wander_v who_o according_a to_o their_o different_a modes_n of_o think_v have_v compass_v to_o solve_v appearance_n so_o many_o different_a way_n whereby_o we_o be_v teach_v just_o so_o much_o truth_n as_o to_o be_v sure_a that_o their_o system_n may_v be_v all_o false_a because_o we_o be_v most_o certain_a there_o can_v be_v but_o one_o true_a in_o a_o word_n whatever_o may_v be_v the_o destiny_n of_o this_o essay_n the_o author_n trust_v to_o have_v some_o title_n to_o excuse_n both_o from_o the_o learned_a and_o other_o for_o his_o attempt_n from_o the_o one_o for_o propound_v so_o much_o a_o near_o and_o more_o likely_a way_n to_o the_o unravel_v this_o skein_n which_o have_v be_v leave_v more_o entangle_v and_o perplex_v by_o dispute_n and_o the_o diversity_n of_o learned_a man_n opinion_n about_o it_o which_o infaelicity_n may_v perhaps_o have_v spring_v from_o their_o speculate_v so_o far_o after_o distant_a and_o obscure_a cause_n that_o they_o have_v thereby_o miss_v and_o overlook_v the_o true_a to_o these_o gentleman_n if_o any_o thing_n in_o this_o theory_n have_v be_v start_v new_a or_o of_o moment_n enough_o to_o be_v consider_v i_o may_v have_v give_v a_o occasion_n of_o merit_v from_o the_o world_n by_o my_o

majority_n i_o will_v not_o doubt_v of_o acceptance_n while_o i_o do_v my_o best_a to_o shorten_v and_o ascertain_v the_o way_n to_o truth_n by_o call_v in_o our_o sense_n more_o to_o our_o aid_n which_o be_v the_o sure_a succour_n and_o clear_a conduit_n of_o knowledge_n our_o researche_n and_o reason_n on_o these_o dark_a phaenomena_n will_v thereby_o stand_v on_o a_o sure_a basis_n and_o to_o conclude_v with_o one_o single_a instance_n here_o of_o my_o method_n in_o this_o pursuit_n i_o note_v that_o to_o obtain_v a_o proof_n of_o my_o seem_n at_o least_o to_o have_v reason_v right_a about_o this_o problem_n of_o the_o earth_n motion_n on_o its_o axis_n i_o frame_v a_o machine_n with_o all_o the_o accuracy_n possible_a wherein_o i_o imitate_v according_a to_o my_o best_a
