of_o this_o evocation_n and_o swell_v and_o such_o as_o agree_v with_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o phaenomena_n of_o heat_n may_v be_v think_v to_o have_v give_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o heat_n of_o the_o sun_n it_o have_v be_v show_v in_o the_o 5_o article_n of_o the_o 21_o chapter_n that_o the_o fluid_fw-la medium_fw-la which_o we_o call_v the_o air_n be_v so_o move_v by_o the_o simple_a circular_a motion_n of_o the_o sun_n as_o that_o all_o its_o part_n even_o the_o least_o do_v perpetual_o change_v place_n with_o one_o another_o which_o change_n of_o place_n be_v that_o which_o there_o i_o call_v fermentation_n from_o this_o fermentation_n of_o the_o air_n i_o have_v in_o the_o 8_o article_n of_o the_o last_o chapter_n demonstrate_v that_o the_o water_n may_v be_v draw_v up_o into_o the_o cloud_n and_o i_o shall_v now_o show_v that_o the_o fluid_a part_n may_v in_o like_a manner_n by_o the_o same_o fermentation_n be_v draw_v out_o from_o the_o internal_a to_o the_o external_a part_n of_o our_o body_n for_o see_v that_o wheresoever_o the_o fluid_fw-la medium_fw-la be_v contiguous_a to_o the_o body_n of_o any_o live_a creature_n there_o the_o part_n of_o that_o medium_fw-la be_v by_o perpetual_a change_n of_o place_n separate_v from_o one_o another_o the_o contiguous_a part_n of_o the_o live_a creature_n must_v of_o necessity_n endeavour_v to_o enter_v into_o the_o space_n of_o the_o separate_a part_n for_o otherwise_o those_o part_n suppose_v there_o be_v no_o vacuum_n will_v have_v no_o place_n to_o go_v into_o and_o therefore_o that_o which_o be_v most_o fluid_a and_o separable_a in_o the_o part_n of_o the_o live_a creature_n which_o be_v contiguous_a to_o the_o medium_fw-la will_v go_v first_o out_o and_o into_o the_o place_n thereof_o will_v succeed_v such_o other_o part_n as_o can_v most_o easy_o transpire_v through_o the_o po●es_n of_o the_o skin_n and_o from_o hence_o it_o be_v necessary_a that_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o part_n which_o be_v not_o separate_v must_v all_o together_o be_v move_v outward_o for_o the_o keep_n of_o all_o place_n full_a but_o this_o motion_n outward_o of_o all_o part_n together_o must_v of_o necessity_n press_v those_o part_n of_o the_o ambient_fw-la aire_n which_o be_v ready_a to_o leave_v their_o place_n and_o therefore_o all_o the_o part_n of_o the_o body_n endeavour_v at_o once_o that_o way_n make_v the_o body_n swell_v wherefore_o a_o possible_a cause_n be_v give_v of_o heat_n from_o the_o sun_n which_o be_v to_o be_v do_v 4_o we_o have_v now_o see_v how_o light_n and_o heat_n be_v generate_v heat_v by_o the_o simple_a motion_n of_o the_o medium_fw-la make_v the_o part_n perpetual_o change_v place_n with_o one_o another_o and_o light_n by_o this_o that_o by_o the_o same_o simple_a motion_n action_n be_v propagate_v in_o a_o straight_a line_n but_o when_o a_o body_n have_v its_o part_n so_o move_v that_o it_o sensible_o both_o heat_n and_o shine_v at_o the_o same_o time_n than_o it_o be_v that_o we_o say_v fire_n be_v generate_v now_o by_o fire_n i_o do_v not_o understand_v a_o body_n distinct_a from_o matter_n combustible_a or_o glow_a as_o wood_n or_o iron_n but_o the_o matter_n itself_o not_o simple_o and_o always_o but_o then_o only_o when_o it_o shine_v and_o heat_v he_o therefore_o that_o render_v a_o cause_n possible_a and_o agreeable_a to_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o phaenomena_n namely_o whence_o and_o from_o what_o action_n both_o the_o shine_v and_o heat_n proceed_v may_v be_v think_v to_o have_v give_v a_o possible_a cause_n of_o the_o generation_n of_o fire_n let_v therefore_o abc_n in_o the_o first_o figure_n be_v a_o sphere_n or_o the_o portion_n of_o a_o sphere_n who_o centre_n be_v d_o and_o let_v it_o be_v transparent_a and_o homogeneous_a as_o crystal_n glass_n or_o water_n and_o object_v to_o the_o sun_n wherefore_o the_o foremost_a part_n abc_n will_v by_o the_o simple_a motion_n of_o the_o sun_n by_o which_o it_o thrust_v forward_o the_o medium_fw-la be_v wrought_v upon_o by_o the_o sunbeam_n in_o the_o straight_a line_n ea_fw-la fb_fw-la and_o gc_fw-la which_o straight_o line_n may_v in_o respect_n of_o the_o

ad_fw-la and_o cd_o the_o refracted_a beam_n ea_z and_o gc_fw-la will_v of_o necessity_n fall_v the_o one_o between_o ah_o and_o ad_fw-la the_o other_o between_o ci_o and_o cd_o let_v those_o refracted_a beam_n be_v ak_a and_o cl._n and_o again_o let_v the_o line_n dkm_n &_o dln_n be_v draw_v perpendicular_a to_o the_o sphere_n and_o let_v ak_a and_o cl_n be_v produce_v till_o they_o meet_v with_o the_o straight_a line_n bd_o produce_v in_o o._n see_v therefore_o the_o medium_fw-la within_o the_o sphere_n be_v thick_a than_o that_o without_o it_o the_o refracted_a line_n ak_v will_v recede_v further_o from_o the_o perpendicular_a km_n then_o quoth_fw-mi will_v recede_v from_o the_o same_o wherefore_o quoth_fw-mi will_n fall_n between_o the_o refracted_a line_n and_o the_o perpendicular_a let_v therefore_o the_o refracted_a line_n be_v kp_n cut_a foe_n in_o p_o and_o for_o the_o same_o reason_n the_o straight_a line_n lp_n will_v be_v the_o refracted_a line_n of_o the_o straight_a line_n cl._n wherefore_o see_v the_o beam_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o the_o way_n in_o which_o the_o motion_n be_v propagate_v the_o motion_n about_o p_o will_v be_v so_o much_o more_o

be_v p_o and_o who_o magnitude_n be_v equal_a to_o that_o of_o the_o little_a circle_n about_o p_o which_o comprehend_v all_o the_o beam_n that_o be_v propagate_v from_o abc_n and_o this_o sphere_n be_v much_o less_o than_o the_o sphere_n abc_n the_o part_n of_o the_o medium_fw-la that_o be_v of_o the_o air_n about_o p_o will_v change_v place_n with_o one_o another_o with_o much_o great_a celerity_n than_o those_o about_o abc_n if_o therefore_o any_o matter_n combustible_a that_o be_v to_o say_v such_o as_o may_v be_v easy_o dissipate_v be_v place_v in_o p_o the_o part_n of_o that_o matter_n if_o the_o proportion_n be_v great_a enough_o between_o ac_fw-la and_o a_o like_a portion_n of_o the_o little_a circle_n about_o p_o will_v be_v free_v from_o their_o mutual_a cohaesion_n and_o be_v separate_v will_v acquire_v simple_a motion_n but_o vehement_a simple_a motion_n generate_v in_o the_o beholder_n a_o phantasm_n of_o lucid_n and_o hot_a as_o i_o have_v before_o demonstrate_v of_o the_o simple_a motion_n of_o the_o sun_n and_o therefore_o the_o combustible_a matter_n which_o be_v place_v in_o p_o will_v be_v make_v lucid_n and_o hot_a that_o be_v to_o say_v will_v be_v fire_n wherefore_o i_o have_v render_v a_o possible_a cause_n of_o fire_n which_o be_v to_o be_v do_v 5_o from_o the_o manner_n by_o which_o the_o sun_n generate_v fire_n it_o be_v easy_a to_o explain_v the_o manner_n by_o which_o fire_n may_v be_v generate_v by_o the_o collision_n of_o two_o flint_n for_o by_o that_o collision_n some_o of_o those_o particle_n of_o which_o the_o

by_o the_o sun_n wherefore_o they_o shine_v and_o fall_v upon_o matter_n which_o be_v already_o half_o dissipate_v such_o as_o be_v tinder_n they_o thorough_o dissipate_v the_o part_n thereof_o and_o make_v they_o turn_v round_o from_o whence_o as_o i_o have_v new_o show_v light_n and_o heat_n that_o be_v to_o say_v fire_n be_v generate_v 6_o the_o shine_a of_o glow-worm_n some_o kind_n of_o rot_a wood_n and_o of_o a_o kind_n of_o stone_n make_v at_o bolognia_n may_v have_v one_o common_a cause_n namely_o the_o expose_v of_o they_o to_o the_o hot_a sun_n we_o find_v by_o experience_n that_o the_o bolonian_a stone_n shine_v not_o unless_o it_o be_v so_o expose_v and_o after_o it_o have_v be_v expose_v it_o shine_v but_o for_o a_o little_a time_n namely_o as_o long_o as_o it_o retain_v a_o certain_a degree_n of_o heat_n and_o the_o cause_n may_v be_v that_o the_o part_n of_o which_o it_o be_v make_v may_v together_o with_o heat_n have_v simple_a motion_n imprint_v in_o they_o by_o the_o sun_n which_o if_o it_o be_v so_o it_o be_v necessary_a that_o it_o shine_v in_o the_o dark_a as_o
alike_o and_o together_o with_o they_o and_o afterward_o meet_v with_o more_o body_n like_o themselves_o they_o will_v unite_v and_o become_v great_a body_n wherefore_o homogeneous_a body_n be_v congregat_v and_o heterogenous_a dissipate_v by_o simple_a motion_n in_o a_o medium_fw-la where_o they_o natural_o float_v again_o such_o as_o be_v in_o a_o fluid_fw-la medium_fw-la do_v not_o float_v but_o sink_v if_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o fluid_fw-la medium_fw-la be_v strong_a enough_o will_v be_v stir_v up_o and_o carry_v away_o by_o that_o motion_n and_o consequent_o they_o will_v be_v

and_o that_o this_o be_v also_o impossible_a except_o there_o be_v little_a empty_a place_n in_o the_o air_n also_o that_o when_o the_o air_n be_v compress_v to_o a_o certain_a degree_n it_o can_v

water_n as_o it_o ascend_v within_o the_o vessel_n may_v seem_v valid_a but_o it_o be_v sufficient_o know_v that_o air_n will_v penetrate_v water_n by_o the_o application_n of_o a_o force_n equal_a to_o the_o gravity_n of_o the_o water_n if_o therefore_o the_o force_n by_o which_o the_o vessel_n be_v thrust_v down_o be_v great_a or_o equal_a to_o the_o endeavour_n by_o which_o the_o water_n

such_o penetration_n therefore_o in_o descend_v it_o must_v of_o necessity_n stay_v somewhere_o namely_o there_o where_o its_o endeavour_n downward_o and_o the_o resistance_n of_o the_o same_o to_o

it_o follow_v necessary_o from_o hence_o that_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o fermentation_n of_o the_o whole_a air_n of_o which_o i_o have_v speak_v in_o the_o 21_o chap._n some_o of_o those_o atom_n

see_v the_o solution_n of_o its_o continuity_n may_v begin_v in_o the_o circumference_n and_o proceed_v successive_o to_o the_o midst_n thereof_o last_o wine_n be_v not_o so_o easy_o congeal_v as_o

hardness_n may_v be_v make_v to_o a_o certain_a degree_n in_o this_o manner_n when_o any_o fluid_a substance_n have_v in_o it_o certain_a very_o small_a body_n intermingle_v which_o be_v move_v with_o

of_o a_o little_a sphere_n or_o a_o very_a slender_a pipe_n if_o the_o motion_n be_v vehement_a and_o there_o be_v a_o great_a number_n of_o these_o small_a enclose_a body_n two_o thing_n will_v happen_v the_o one_o that_o the_o fluid_a substance_n will_v have_v a_o endeavour_n of_o dilate_v itself_o at_o once_o every_o way_n the_o other_o that_o if_o those_o small_a body_n can_v no_o where_o get_v out_o then_o from_o their_o reflection_n it_o will_v follow_v that_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o part_n of_o the_o enclose_v fluid_a substance_n which_o be_v vehement_a before_o will_v now_o be_v much_o more_o vehement_a wherefore_o if_o any_o one_o particle_n of_o that_o fluid_a substance_n shall_v be_v touch_v &_o press_v by_o some_o external_a movent_fw-la it_o can_v not_o yield_v but_o by_o the_o application_n of_o very_a sensible_a force_n wherefore_o the_o fluid_a substance_n which_o be_v enclose_v and_o so_o move_v have_v some_o degree_n of_o hardness_n now_o great_a and_o less_o degree_n of_o hardness_n depend_v upon_o the_o quantity_n and_o velocity_n of_o those_o small_a body_n and_o upon_o the_o narrowness_n of_o the_o place_n both_o together_o 11_o such_o thing_n as_o

the_o take_v away_o of_o the_o cause_n do_v not_o destroy_v a_o produce_v effect_n but_o the_o thaw_v also_o must_v have_v its_o proper_a cause_n namely_o a_o contrary_a wind_n or_o at_o least_o a_o

not_o a_o sufficient_a cause_n of_o their_o future_a motion_n there_o be_v no_o other_o cause_n of_o motion_n but_o motion_n the_o cause_n therefore_o of_o such_o restitution_n be_v in_o the_o part_n

therefore_o that_o those_o small_a body_n of_o which_o the_o loadstone_n be_v in_o the_o bowel_n of_o the_o earth_n compose_v have_v by_o nature_n such_o motion_n or_o endeavour_v as_o be_v above_o

repugnant_a to_o such_o a_o motion_n but_o why_o the_o loadstone_n if_o with_o the_o help_n of_o cork_n it_o float_v at_o liberty_n upon_o the_o top_n of_o the_o water_n shall_v from_o any_o position_n whatsoever_o so_o place_n itself_o in_o the_o plain_a of_o the_o meridian_n as_o that_o the_o same_o point_n which_o at_o one_o time_n of_o its_o be_v at_o rest_n respect_v the_o pole_n of_o the_o earth_n shall_v at_o all_o other_o time_n respect_v the_o same_o pole_n the_o cause_n may_v be_v this_o that_o the_o reciprocal_a motion_n which_o i_o suppose_v to_o be_v in_o the_o part_n of_o the_o stone_n be_v make_v in_o a_o line_n parallel_n to_o the_o axis_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o have_v be_v in_o those_o part_n ever_o since_o the_o stone_n be_v generate_v see_v therefore_o the_o stone_n while_o it_o remain_v in_o the_o mine_n and_o be_v carry_v about_o together_o with_o the_o earth_n by_o its_o diurnal_a motion_n do_v by_o length_n of_o time_n get_v a_o habit_n of_o be_v move_v in_o a_o line_n which_o be_v perpendicular_a to_o the_o line_n of_o its_o reciprocal_a motion_n it_o will_v afterward_o though_o its_o axis_fw-la be_v remove_v from_o the_o parallel_n situation_n it_o have_v with_o the_o axis_fw-la of_o the_o earth_n retain_v its_o endeavour_n of_o return_v to_o that_o situation_n again_o and_o all_o endeavour_n be_v the_o beginning_n of_o motion_n and_o nothing_o intervening_a that_n may_v hinder_v the_o same_o the_o loadstone_n will_v therefore_o return_v to_o its_o former_a situation_n for_o any_o piece_n of_o iron_n that_o have_v for_o a_o long_a time_n rest_v in_o the_o plain_a of_o the_o meridian_n whensoever_o it_o be_v force_v from_o that_o situation_n and_o afterward_o leave_v to_o its_o own_o liberty_n again_o will_v of_o itself_o return_v to_o lie_v in_o the_o meridian_n again_o which_o return_n be_v cause_v by_o the_o endeavour_n it_o acquire_v from_o the_o diurnal_a motion_n of_o the_o earth_n in_o the_o parallel_a circle_n which_o be_v perpendicular_a to_o the_o meridian_n if_o iron_n be_v rub_v by_o the_o loadstone_n draw_v from_o one_o pole_n to_o the_o other_o two_o thing_n will_v happen_v one_o that_o the_o iron_n will_v acquire_v the_o same_o direction_n with_o the_o loadstone_n that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o it_o will_v lie_v in_o the_o meridian_n and_o have_v its_o axis_n and_o pole_n in_o the_o same_o position_n with_o those_o of_o the_o stone_n the_o other_o that_o the_o like_a pole_n of_o the_o stone_n and_o of_o the_o iron_n will_v avoid_v one_o another_o and_o the_o unlike_a pole_n approach_v one_o another_o and_o the_o cause_n of_o the_o former_a may_v be_v this_o that_o iron_n be_v touch_v by_o motion_n which_o be_v not_o reciprocal_a but_o draw_v the_o same_o way_n from_o pole_n to_o pole_n there_o will_v be_v imprint_v in_o the_o iron_n also_o a_o endeavour_n from_o the_o same_o pole_n to_o the_o same_o pole_n for_o see_v the_o loadstone_n differ_v from_o iron_n no_o otherwise_o then_o as_o ore_n from_o metal_n there_o will_v be_v no_o repugnance_n at_o all_o in_o the_o iron_n to_o receive_v the_o same_o motion_n which_o be_v in_o the_o stone_n from_o whence_o it_o follow_v that_o see_v they_o be_v both_o affect_v alike_o by_o the_o diurnal_a motion_n of_o the_o earth_n they_o will_v both_o equal_o return_v to_o their_o situation_n in_o the_o meridian_n whensoever_o they_o be_v put_v from_o the_o same_o also_o of_o the_o late_a this_o may_v be_v the_o cause_n that_o as_o the_o loadstone_n in_o touch_v the_o iron_n do_v by_o its_o action_n imprint_v in_o the_o
