to_o rule_v those_o wander_a and_o straggle_a atom_n because_o they_o be_v not_o part_n of_o her_o body_n but_o each_o be_v a_o single_a body_n by_o itself_o have_v no_o dependence_n upon_o each_o other_o wherefore_o if_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o composition_n of_o atom_n it_o will_v not_o be_v a_o body_n make_v of_o part_n but_o of_o so_o many_o whole_a and_o entire_a single_a body_n meet_v together_o as_o a_o swarm_n of_o bee_n the_o truth_n be_v every_o atom_n be_v single_a must_v be_v a_o absolute_a body_n by_o itself_o and_o have_v a_o absolute_a power_n and_o knowledge_n by_o which_o it_o will_v become_v a_o kind_n of_o a_o deity_n and_o the_o concourse_n of_o they_o will_v rather_o cause_v a_o confusion_n than_o a_o conformity_n in_o nature_n because_o all_o atom_n be_v absolute_a they_o will_v all_o be_v governor_n but_o none_o will_v be_v govern_v thus_o i_o have_v declare_v my_o opinion_n concern_v the_o part_n of_o nature_n as_o also_o vacuum_n and_o atom_n to_o wit_n that_o it_o be_v impossible_a there_o can_v be_v any_o such_o thing_n in_o nature_n i_o will_v conclude_v after_o i_o have_v give_v my_o answer_n to_o these_o two_o follow_a question_n first_o it_o may_v be_v ask_v whether_o the_o part_n of_o a_o compose_a figure_n do_v continue_v in_o such_o a_o composition_n until_o the_o whole_a figure_n be_v dissolve_v i_o answer_v my_o opinion_n be_v that_o in_o some_o composition_n they_o do_v continue_v at_o least_o some_o long_o than_o other_o but_o although_o some_o part_n of_o a_o figure_n do_v disjoin_v from_o each_o other_o and_o join_v with_o other_o yet_o the_o structure_n of_o the_o creature_n may_v nevertheless_o continue_v neither_o be_v it_o necessary_a that_o those_o which_o begin_v a_o buide_n must_v needs_o stay_v to_o the_o end_n or_o perfection_n of_o it_o for_o some_o may_v begin_v other_o may_v work_v on_o and_o other_o may_v finish_v it_o also_o some_o may_v repair_v and_o some_o may_v ruin_v and_o it_o be_v well_o to_o be_v observe_v that_o the_o composition_n of_o all_o creature_n be_v not_o alike_o nor_o do_v they_o continue_v or_o dissolve_v all_o alike_o and_o at_o the_o same_o time_n second_o it_o may_v be_v question_v whether_o there_o can_v be_v a_o infinite_a distance_n between_o two_o or_o more_o part_n and_o my_o answer_n be_v that_o distance_n proper_o do_v not_o belong_v to_o infinite_a but_o only_o to_o finite_a pars_fw-la for_o distance_n be_v a_o certain_a measure_n between_o part_n and_o part_n and_o wheresoever_o be_v a_o measure_n there_o must_v be_v two_o extreme_n but_o there_o be_v no_o extreme_n nor_o end_n in_o infinite_a and_o therefore_o there_o can_v be_v no_o infinite_a distance_n between_o part_n indeed_o it_o be_v a_o mere_a contradiction_n and_o nonsense_n to_o say_v infinite_a between_o part_n by_o reason_n the_o word_n between_o imply_v a_o finiteness_n as_o between_o such_o a_o part_n and_o such_o a_o part_n but_o you_o will_v say_v because_o nature_n be_v a_o infinite_a body_n it_o must_v have_v a_o infinite_a measure_n for_o wheresoever_o be_v body_n there_o be_v magnitude_n and_o figure_n and_o wheresoever_o be_v magnitude_n and_o figure_n there_o be_v measure_n i_o answer_v it_o be_v true_a body_n magnitude_n and_o figure_n be_v all_o but_o one_o thing_n and_o according_a as_o the_o body_n be_v so_o be_v its_o magnitude_n and_o figure_n but_o the_o body_n of_o nature_n be_v infinite_a its_o magnitude_n and_o figure_n must_v also_o be_v infinite_a but_o mistake_v i_o not_o i_o do_v not_o mean_v a_o circumscribe_v and_o perfect_a exterior_a magnitude_n by_o reason_n there_o be_v nothing_o exterior_a in_o respect_n to_o infinite_a but_o in_o relation_n to_o its_o infinite_a part_n the_o truth_n be_v man_n do_v often_o mistake_v in_o adscribe_v to_o infinite_a that_o which_o proper_o belong_v to_o particular_n or_o at_o least_o they_o consider_v the_o attribute_n of_o a_o infinite_a and_o a_o finite_a body_n after_o one_o and_o the_o same_o manner_n and_o no_o wonder_n because_o a_o finite_a capacity_n can_v comprehend_v what_o infinite_a be_v but_o although_o we_o can_v positive_o know_v what_o infinite_a be_v yet_o we_o may_v guess_v at_o it_o by_o its_o opposite_a that_o be_v by_o finite_a for_o infinite_a be_v that_o which_o have_v no_o term_n bound_n or_o limit_n and_o therefore_o it_o can_v be_v circumscribe_v and_o if_o it_o can_v be_v circumscribe_v as_o a_o finite_a body_n it_o can_v have_v a_o exterior_a magnitude_n and_o figure_n as_o a_o finite_a body_n and_o consequent_o no_o measure_n nevertheless_o it_o be_v no_o contradiction_n to_o say_v it_o have_v a_o infinite_a magnitude_n and_o figure_n for_o although_o infinite_a nature_n can_v have_v any_o thing_n without_o or_o beyond_o itself_o yet_o it_o may_v have_v magnitude_n and_o figure_n within_o itself_o because_o it_o be_v a_o body_n and_o by_o this_o the_o magnitude_n and_o figure_n of_o infinite_a nature_n be_v distinguish_v from_o the_o magnitude_n and_o figure_n of_o its_o finite_a part_n for_o these_o have_v each_o their_o exterior_a and_o circumscribe_v figure_n which_o nature_n have_v not_o and_o as_o for_o measure_n it_o be_v only_o a_o effect_n of_o a_o finite_a magnitude_n and_o belong_v to_o finite_a part_n that_o have_v certain_a distance_n from_o each_o other_o it_o be_v true_a one_o may_v in_o a_o certain_a manner_n say_v a_o infinite_a distance_n as_o for_o example_n if_o there_o be_v a_o infinite_a line_n which_o have_v no_o end_n one_o may_v call_v the_o infinite_a extension_n of_o that_o line_n a_o infinite_a distance_n but_o this_o be_v a_o improper_a expression_n and_o it_o be_v better_a to_o keep_v the_o term_n of_o a_o infinite_a extension_n then_o call_v it_o a_o infinite_a distance_n for_o as_o i_o say_v before_o distance_n be_v measure_n and_o proper_o belong_v to_o part_n nay_o if_o it_o be_v possible_a that_o there_o can_v be_v a_o infinite_a distance_n of_o part_n in_o nature_n yet_o the_o perpetual_a change_n of_o motion_n by_o which_o part_n remove_v and_o join_v from_o and_o to_o part_n will_v not_o allow_v any_o such_o thing_n in_o nature_n for_o the_o part_n of_o nature_n be_v always_o in_o action_n work_v intermix_v compose_v divide_v perpetual_o so_o as_o it_o will_v be_v impossible_a for_o they_o to_o keep_v certain_a distance_n but_o to_o conclude_v this_o discourse_n i_o desire_v it_o may_v be_v observe_v 1._o that_o whatsoever_o be_v body_n be_v it_o a_o atom_n must_v have_v part_n so_o that_o body_n can_v be_v without_o part_n 2._o that_o there_o be_v no_o such_o thing_n as_o rest_n or_o stoppage_n in_o infinite_a matter_n but_o there_o be_v self-motion_n in_o all_o part_n of_o nature_n although_o they_o be_v not_o all_o exterious_o local_o move_v to_o our_o perception_n for_o reason_n must_v not_o deny_v what_o our_o sense_n can_v comprehend_v although_o a_o piece_n of_o wood_n or_o metal_n have_v no_o exterior_a progressive_a motion_n such_o as_o be_v find_v in_o animal_n nevertheless_o it_o be_v not_o without_o motion_n for_o it_o be_v subject_a to_o generation_n and_o dissolution_n which_o certain_o be_v natural_a corporeal_a motion_n beside_o many_o other_o the_o truth_n be_v the_o hard_a denser_n and_o firm_a body_n be_v the_o strong_a be_v their_o motion_n for_o it_o require_v more_o strength_n to_o keep_v and_o hold_v part_n together_o then_o to_o dissolve_v and_o separate_v they_o 3._o that_o without_o motion_n part_n can_v not_o alter_v their_o figure_n neither_o will_v there_o be_v any_o variety_n in_o infinite_a nature_n 4._o if_o there_o be_v any_o such_o thing_n as_o atom_n and_o vacuum_n there_o will_v be_v no_o conformity_n nor_o uniformity_n in_o nature_n last_o as_o there_o be_v a_o perpetual_a self-motion_n in_o nature_n and_o all_o her_o part_n so_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o there_o can_v be_v perfect_a measure_n constant_a figure_n or_o single_a part_n in_o nature_n 32._o of_o the_o celestial_a part_n of_o this_o world_n and_o whether_o they_o be_v alterable_a it_o may_v be_v question_v whether_o the_o celestial_a part_n of_o the_o world_n never_o alter_v or_o change_v by_o their_o corporeal_a figurative_a motion_n but_o remain_v constant_o the_o same_o without_o any_o change_n or_o alteration_n i_o answer_v concern_v the_o general_a and_o particular_a kind_n or_o sort_n of_o creature_n of_o this_o world_n humane_a sense_n and_o reason_n do_v observe_v that_o they_o do_v not_o change_v but_o be_v continue_v by_o a_o perpetual_a supply_n and_o succession_n of_o particular_n without_o any_o general_a alteration_n or_o dissolution_n but_o as_o for_o the_o singular_n or_o particular_n of_o those_o kind_n and_o sort_n of_o creature_n it_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o they_o be_v subject_a to_o perpetual_a alteration_n generation_n and_o dissolution_n for_o example_n humane_a sense_n and_o reason_n perceive_v that_o the_o part_n of_o the_o
the_o interior_a nature_n of_o several_a creature_n as_o their_o exterior_a figure_n and_o phonomena_n which_o make_v they_o write_v many_o paradox_n but_o few_o truth_n suppose_v that_o sense_n and_o art_n can_v only_o lead_v they_o to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o truth_n when_o as_o they_o delude_v rather_o their_o judgement_n instead_o of_o inform_v they_o but_o nature_n have_v place_v sense_n and_o reason_n together_o so_o that_o there_o be_v no_o part_n or_o particle_n of_o nature_n which_o have_v not_o its_o share_n of_o reason_n as_o well_o as_o of_o sense_n for_o every_o part_n have_v self-motion_n have_v also_o knowledge_n which_o be_v sense_n and_o reason_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v fit_a we_o shall_v not_o only_o employ_v our_o sense_n but_o chief_o our_o reason_n in_o the_o search_n of_o the_o cause_n of_o natural_a effect_n for_o sense_n be_v only_o a_o workman_n and_o reason_n be_v the_o designer_n and_o surveigh_o and_o as_o reason_n guide_v and_o direct_v so_o ought_v sense_n to_o work_v but_o see_v that_o in_o this_o age_n sense_n be_v more_o in_o fashion_n then_o reason_n it_o be_v no_o wonder_n there_o be_v so_o many_o irregular_a opinion_n and_o judgement_n among_o man_n however_o although_o it_o be_v the_o mode_n yet_o i_o for_o my_o part_n shall_v not_o follow_v it_o but_o leave_v to_o our_o modern_n their_o experimental_a or_o mode-philosophy_n build_v upon_o delude_a art_n i_o shall_v addict_v myself_o to_o the_o study_n of_o contemplative-philosophy_n and_o reason_n shall_v be_v my_o guide_n not_o that_o i_o despise_v sense_n or_o sensitive_a knowledge_n but_o when_o i_o speak_v of_o sense_n i_o mean_v the_o perception_n of_o our_o five_o exterior_a sense_n help_v or_o rather_o delude_v by_o art_n and_o artificial_a instrument_n for_o i_o see_v that_o in_o this_o present_a age_n learned_a man_n be_v full_a of_o art_n and_o artificial_a trial_n and_o when_o they_o have_v find_v out_o something_o by_o they_o they_o present_o judge_v that_o all_o natural_a action_n be_v make_v the_o same_o way_n as_o for_o example_n when_o they_o find_v by_o art_n that_o salt_n will_v make_v snow_n congeal_v into_o ice_n they_o instant_o conclude_v from_o thence_o that_o all_o natural_a congelation_n be_v make_v by_o saline_a particle_n and_o that_o the_o primum_fw-la frigidum_fw-la or_o the_o principal_a cause_n of_o all_o natural_a cold_n must_v needs_o be_v salt_n by_o reason_n they_o have_v find_v by_o art_n that_o salt_n will_v do_v the_o same_o effect_n in_o the_o aforesaid_a commixture_n with_o snow_n but_o how_o gross_o they_o be_v deceive_v rational_a man_n may_v judge_n if_o i_o be_v a_o chemist_n and_o acknowledge_v their_o common_a principle_n i_o may_v perchance_o have_v some_o belief_n in_o it_o but_o not_o while_o i_o follow_v reason_n nay_o i_o perceive_v that_o oftentimes_o our_o sense_n be_v delude_v by_o their_o own_o irregularity_n in_o not_o perceive_v always_o true_o and_o right_o the_o action_n of_o art_n but_o mistake_v they_o which_o be_v a_o double_a error_n and_o therefore_o that_o particular_a sensitive_a knowledge_n in_o man_n which_o be_v build_v mere_o upon_o artificial_a experiment_n will_v never_o make_v he_o a_o good_a philosopher_n but_o regular_a sense_n and_o reason_n must_v do_v it_o that_o be_v a_o regular_a sensitive_a and_o rational_a inquisition_n into_o the_o various_a action_n of_o nature_n for_o put_v the_o case_n a_o microscope_n be_v true_a concern_v the_o magnify_n of_o a_o exterior_a object_n but_o yet_o the_o magnitude_n of_o the_o object_n can_v give_v a_o true_a information_n of_o its_o interior_a part_n and_o their_o motion_n or_o else_o great_a and_o large_a body_n will_v be_v interious_o know_v even_o without_o microscope_n the_o truth_n be_v our_o exterior_a sense_n can_v go_v no_o further_o than_o the_o exterior_a figure_n of_o creature_n and_o their_o exterior_a action_n but_o our_o reason_n may_v pierce_v deep_o and_o consider_v their_o inherent_a nature_n and_o interior_a action_n and_o although_o it_o do_v sometime_o err_v for_o there_o can_v be_v no_o perfect_a or_o universal_a knowledge_n in_o a_o finite_a part_n concern_v the_o infinite_a action_n of_o nature_n yet_o it_o may_v also_o probable_o guess_v at_o they_o and_o may_v chance_v to_o hit_v the_o truth_n thus_o sense_n and_o reason_n shall_v be_v the_o ground_n of_o my_o philosophy_n and_o no_o particular_a natural_a effect_n nor_o artificial_a instrument_n and_o if_o any_o one_o can_v show_v i_o a_o better_a and_o sure_a ground_n or_o principle_n then_o this_o i_o shall_v most_o willing_o and_o joyful_o embrace_v it_o 26._o of_o the_o measure_n degree_n and_o different_a sort_n of_o heat_n and_o cold._n some_o experimental_a philosopher_n be_v much_o inquisitive_a into_o the_o measure_n of_o heat_n and_o cold_a and_o as_o we_o have_v settle_v standard_n for_o weight_n and_o magnitude_n and_o time_n so_o they_o endeavour_v to_o measure_v the_o vary_a temperature_n and_o gradual_a difference_n of_o heat_n and_o cold_a but_o do_v what_o they_o can_v their_o artificial_a measure_n or_o weight_v neither_o will_n nor_o can_v be_v so_o exact_a as_o the_o natural_a be_v to_o wit_n so_o as_o not_o to_o make_v they_o err_v in_o more_o or_o less_o neither_o be_v it_o possible_a that_o all_o the_o degree_n of_o heat_n and_o cold_a in_o nature_n can_v be_v measure_v for_o no_o man_n can_v measure_v what_o he_o do_v not_o know_v and_o who_o know_v all_o the_o different_a sort_n of_o heat_n and_o cold_n nay_o if_o man_n do_v endeavour_v to_o measure_v only_o one_o sort_n of_o heat_n or_o cold_a as_o for_o example_n the_o degree_n of_o the_o heat_n or_o coldness_n of_o the_o air_n how_o be_v it_o possible_a that_o he_o shall_v do_v it_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o continual_a change_n of_o the_o motion_n of_o heat_n or_o cold_a of_o the_o air_n which_o be_v so_o inconstant_a that_o it_o be_v sure_a to_o measure_v the_o fluidity_n of_o the_o air_n then_o to_o measure_v the_o degree_n of_o heat_n or_o cold_a of_o the_o air_n for_o the_o temper_n of_o the_o air_n and_o of_o its_o heat_n and_o cold_a may_v vary_v so_o as_o many_o time_n we_o shall_v never_o find_v the_o same_o measure_n again_o wherefore_o if_o we_o desire_v to_o have_v some_o knowledge_n of_o the_o degree_n of_o some_o sort_n of_o heat_n or_o cold_a my_o opinion_n be_v that_o we_o may_v more_o easy_o attain_v to_o it_o by_o the_o help_n of_o rational_a perception_n then_o by_o a_o sensitive_a inspection_n of_o artificial_a weather-glass_n or_o the_o like_a for_o reason_n go_v beyond_o sense_n and_o although_o the_o sensitive_a perception_n be_v best_a next_o the_o rational_a yet_o the_o rational_a be_v above_o the_o sensitive_a but_o some_o of_o the_o learned_a conceive_v the_o degree_n of_o heat_n and_o cold_a be_v make_v by_o bare_a division_n whenas_o in_o my_o opinion_n they_o be_v make_v by_o the_o several_a degree_n of_o their_o corporeal_a figurative_a motion_n they_o do_v also_o imagine_v that_o there_o be_v no_o degree_n but_o must_v ascend_v from_o one_o to_o two_o from_o two_o to_z three_z and_o so_o forth_o through_o all_o number_n and_o that_o from_o one_o to_o twenty_o there_o be_v so_o many_o degree_n as_o there_o be_v number_n when_o as_o in_o my_o opinion_n there_o be_v no_o more_o but_o one_o degree_n require_v from_o one_o to_o a_o million_o or_o more_o for_o though_o both_o in_o nature_n and_o art_n there_o be_v degree_n from_o one_o single_a figure_n to_o another_o yet_o there_o may_v also_o be_v but_o one_o degree_n from_o one_o to_o a_o million_o without_o reckon_v any_o intermediate_v degree_n or_o figure_n so_o that_o a_o body_n when_o it_o move_v quick_a or_o slow_a need_v not_o to_o go_v through_o all_o the_o intermediate_v degree_n of_o quickness_n or_o slowness_n as_o to_o move_v quick_a and_o quick_a slow_a and_o slow_a but_o may_v immediate_o move_v from_o a_o very_a slow_a to_o a_o very_a quick_a degree_n the_o truth_n be_v no_o man_n be_v able_a to_o measure_v the_o infinite_a degree_n of_o natural_a motion_n for_o though_o nature_n consist_v of_o particular_a finites_n yet_o it_o do_v also_o consist_v of_o infinite_a particular_n finite_a in_o figure_n infinite_a in_o number_n and_o who_o can_v number_v from_o finite_a to_o infinite_a but_o have_v discourse_v hereof_o elsewhere_o i_o return_v to_o heat_n and_o cold_a and_o let_v other_o dispute_v whether_o the_o degree_n of_o heat_n and_o

of_o freeze_a concern_v the_o levity_n of_o ice_n i_o can_v believe_v it_o to_o be_v cause_v by_o expansion_n for_o expansion_n will_v not_o make_v it_o light_a but_o it_o be_v only_o a_o change_n

it_o be_v the_o triangular_a figure_n of_o snow_n that_o make_v it_o light_n and_o the_o squareness_n that_o make_v ice_n heavy_a than_o snow_n for_o if_o snow_n be_v porous_a and_o its_o pore_n be_v

a_o mountain_n but_o a_o very_a large_a body_n neither_o can_v rarefaction_n in_o my_o opinion_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o ice_n expansion_n for_o not_o all_o rarefy_v body_n do_v extend_v and_o therefore_o i_o do_v rather_o believe_v a_o clarefaction_n in_o ice_n than_o a_o rarefaction_n which_o be_v different_a thing_n but_o some_o may_v object_v that_o hot_a and_o swell_a body_n do_v

who_o part_n have_v no_o different_a figure_n but_o be_v all_o alike_o each_o other_o at_o least_o to_o our_o perception_n beside_o there_o be_v body_n which_o be_v more_o rare_a and_o subtle_a than_o
