it_o remain_v that_o we_o determine_v how_o and_o which_o way_n this_o fluid_a put_v into_o motion_n may_v be_v think_v to_o take_v its_o flight_n i_o say_v then_o that_o the_o fluid_a invest_v that_o hemisphere_n wherein_o the_o sun_n fire_n chance_v to_o be_v in_o its_o great_a vigour_n be_v direct_v in_o its_o course_n by_o line_n draw_v or_o produce_v from_o the_o cause_n that_o act_v thereon_o namely_o the_o sun_n and_o this_o by_o the_o same_o mechanic_n law_n by_o which_o any_o body_n be_v find_v to_o move_v that_o be_v impel_v and_o drive_v out_o of_o its_o place_n by_o another_o body_n that_o have_v force_n enough_o to_o do_v it_o namely_o by_o right_a angle_n from_o the_o plane_n of_o the_o cause_n that_o act_n wherefore_o remark_v bare_o that_o a_o line_n conceive_a to_o be_v at_o any_o time_n draw_v from_o the_o body_n of_o the_o sun_n through_o the_o axis_n of_o the_o earth_n any_o where_o betwixt_o the_o tropic_n will_v not_o vary_v much_o from_o east_n and_o west_n this_o single_a note_n may_v suffice_v to_o show_v that_o the_o course_n or_o tendency_n of_o the_o move_a matter_n or_o fluid_n must_v be_v that_o way_n namely_o by_o right_a angle_n or_o thereabouts_o from_o the_o axis_n of_o the_o globe_n or_o which_o better_o express_v it_o by_o circle_n parallel_v a_o little_a more_o or_o less_o to_o the_o aequator_fw-la and_o not_o towards_o the_o pole_n thus_o state_v the_o boundary_n and_o tendency_n of_o the_o action_n or_o course_n by_o which_o the_o fluid_a wing_n its_o way_n that_o surround_v this_o earth_n i_o mean_v that_o portion_n thereof_o which_o we_o call_v the_o atmosphere_n i_o come_v last_o to_o make_v a_o short_a necessary_a note_n or_o two_o touch_v the_o effect_n of_o rarifaction_n and_o condensation_n viz._n according_a to_o common_a acceptation_n where_o i_o observe_v that_o the_o same_o body_n or_o quantity_n of_o matter_n when_o it_o be_v rarify_v become_v big_a or_o be_v extend_v in_o all_o its_o dimension_n and_o so_o come_v to_o require_v more_o space_n wherein_o to_o be_v contain_v than_o it_o do_v before_o and_o on_o the_o contrary_a when_o the_o same_o body_n come_v to_o be_v condense_v or_o compress_v it_o need_v consequent_o a_o less_o space_n to_o contain_v it_o by_o which_o mean_v any_o body_n so_o alter_v become_v light_a or_o heavy_a with_o respect_n to_o the_o fluid_a or_o medium_fw-la wherein_o it_o have_v its_o residence_n but_o this_o alteration_n by_o extension_n or_o contraction_n can_v by_o no_o mean_n come_v to_o pass_v but_o by_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o some_o certain_a motion_n for_o whatsoever_o thing_n require_v a_o great_a space_n to_o contain_v it_o than_o it_o do_v the_o instant_a before_o must_v needs_o in_o the_o same_o moment_n remove_v some_o other_o thing_n to_o obtain_v such_o new_a space_n and_o whatsoever_o thing_n become_v on_o the_o sudden_a lessen_v or_o contract_v must_v occasion_v the_o motion_n of_o something_o or_o other_o at_o the_o same_o time_n to_o replenish_v the_o space_n it_o desert_v by_o such_o contraction_n or_o shrink_n into_o narrow_a bound_n have_v in_o some_o degree_n clear_v the_o way_n and_o conduct_v the_o reader_n by_o those_o step_n and_o that_o train_n of_o reflection_n by_o which_o i_o become_v establish_v in_o my_o opinion_n touch_v the_o certainty_n and_o cause_n as_o they_o seem_v to_o i_o to_o be_v of_o the_o earth_n motion_n on_o its_o axis_n etc._n etc._n i_o come_v now_o to_o interpret_v that_o motion_n as_o i_o conceive_v it_o to_o be_v a_o effect_n of_o those_o cause_n first_o then_o i_o take_v for_o grant_v and_o hope_v in_o due_a place_n to_o give_v probable_a proof_n thereof_o that_o the_o sun_n be_v the_o centre_n of_o the_o earth_n gravity_n towards_o which_o it_o tend_v second_o i_o have_v observe_v that_o the_o fluid_a which_o environ_n the_o earth_n globe_n by_o the_o concurrence_n of_o proper_a admixture_n of_o matter_n furnish_v from_o thence_o be_v dispose_v for_o motion_n and_o by_o a_o posture_n of_o obedience_n to_o proper_a cause_n can_v but_o be_v deem_v to_o be_v actual_o ever_o in_o a_o ready_a state_n of_o mobillity_n three_o i_o have_v note_v that_o rarifaction_n and_o condensation_n be_v cause_n of_o motion_n and_o that_o the_o same_o quantity_n of_o matter_n rarify_v or_o condense_v become_v light_a and_o heavy_a as_o a_o effect_n of_o such_o cause_n four_o i_o note_v that_o every_o action_n of_o fire_n be_v it_o more_o or_o less_o break_v or_o alter_v the_o aequilibrium_fw-la of_o the_o neighbour_a fluid_n which_o we_o see_v verify_v every_o moment_n by_o the_o fire_n in_o our_o chimney_n which_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o that_o noise_n and_o whistle_n of_o the_o wind_n through_o the_o cranny_n and_o keyhole_n of_o a_o close_o shut_v room_n where_o a_o good_a fire_n be_v keep_v the_o air_n tend_v and_o rush_v thitherwards_o by_o strong_a or_o weak_a impulse_n ratable_o to_o the_o strength_n or_o weakness_n of_o the_o cause_n act_v thereon_o five_o i_o be_o in_o no_o great_a doubt_n but_o the_o sun_n be_v the_o universal_a fountain_n of_o fire_n by_o who_o transcendent_a masculine_a force_n i_o conceive_v all_o the_o seed_n or_o spark_n of_o that_o element_n exist_v every_o where_o here_o below_o be_v disseminated_a and_o propagate_v through_o out_o the_o world_n which_o planet_n i_o conceive_v act_n in_o the_o fame_n manner_n on_o this_o whole_a globe_n and_o the_o fluid_a that_o surround_v it_o as_o any_o part_n or_o particle_n of_o its_o fire_n be_v find_v to_o do_v on_o any_o fragment_n of_o the_o same_o matter_n we_o see_v and_o know_v that_o a_o very_a small_a parcel_n of_o his_o beam_n unite_v or_o contract_v by_o a_o glass_n will_v as_o certain_o burn_v and_o therefore_o as_o certain_o act_n in_o proportion_n by_o rarifaction_n as_o any_o body_n of_o fire_n of_o never_o so_o much_o great_a dimension_n can_v be_v think_v to_o do_v whence_o we_o may_v i_o think_v safe_o conclude_v from_o the_o uniformity_n we_o find_v in_o the_o operation_n of_o nature_n that_o the_o sun_n which_o be_v a_o immense_a body_n of_o fire_n who_o magnitude_n we_o know_v to_o be_v such_o as_o to_o embrace_n with_o his_o heat_n and_o enlighten_v with_o his_o beam_n more_o than_o half_a the_o earth_n globe_n at_o once_o act_v in_o like_a manner_n and_o proportion_n on_o the_o universal_a mass_n as_o a_o spark_n of_o his_o fire_n shoot_v through_o a_o burn_a glass_n do_v on_o a_o drop_n of_o water_n or_o any_o other_o visible_a fluid_n which_o we_o be_v sure_a it_o will_v exhale_v and_o cause_n to_o disappear_v in_o a_o moment_n i_o say_v that_o since_o we_o be_v certain_a that_o there_o can_v be_v no_o very_o great_a disparity_n of_o proportion_n betwixt_o such_o drop_n of_o water_n and_o the_o least_o spark_n of_o the_o sun_n fire_n act_v thereon_o and_o that_o of_o this_o globe_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o fluid_v compare_v with_o the_o collect_v force_n of_o his_o universal_a influence_n on_o the_o whole_a terrestrial_a mass_n we_o can_v hardly_o withstand_v the_o evidence_n of_o this_o truth_n namely_o that_o the_o entire_a hemisphere_n which_o be_v at_o once_o embrace_v illumine_v and_o warm_v by_o that_o planet_n virtue_n can_v choose_v but_o be_v affect_v in_o the_o same_o degree_n and_o be_v liable_a to_o all_o those_o motion_n and_o alteration_n which_o we_o behold_v and_o know_v to_o be_v the_o effect_n of_o the_o like_a action_n on_o the_o like_a subject_n in_o lesser_a proportion_n six_o we_o may_v determine_v from_o a_o bare_a guest_n by_o what_o we_o see_v and_o observe_v that_o there_o be_v a_o unspeakable_a store_n or_o reserve_v of_o combustible_a and_o proper_a matter_n contain_v on_o the_o surface_n and_o in_o the_o bowel_n of_o the_o earth_n prepare_v to_o obey_v the_o sun_n action_n and_o impression_n thereon_o and_o we_o shall_v not_o i_o hope_v be_v think_v to_o resolve_v too_o bold_o if_o we_o conclude_v that_o as_o far_o as_o that_o planet_n force_v penetrate_v and_o warm_v so_o far_o he_o may_v be_v compute_v to_o act_v by_o exhalation_n or_o rarifaction_n call_v it_o what_o you_o please_v on_o the_o universal_a mass_n of_o matter_n so_o that_o by_o this_o mighty_a force_n employ_v on_o a_o sufficient_a proportion_n of_o subject_a matter_n we_o may_v be_v teach_v to_o expect_v proportionable_a effect_n wherefore_o i_o believe_v it_o will_v be_v hard_a to_o gainsay_v but_o that_o the_o enlighten_v hemisphere_n or_o that_o face_n of_o the_o globe_n which_o be_v at_o any_o time_n the_o scene_n of_o this_o action_n must_v unquestionable_o suffer_v a_o manifest_a dimunition_n of_o matter_n and_o consequent_o of_o weight_n by_o the_o transpiration_n extension_n and_o motion_n of_o the_o volatile_a part_n which_o ever_o wing_n their_o way_n from_o the_o light_n to_o the_o dark_a side_n of_o the_o globe_n where_o by_o
