if_o there_o be_v no_o vacuum_n there_o will_v be_v no_o motion_n or_o we_o must_v admit_v penetration_n of_o body_n for_o it_o will_v be_v ridiculous_a to_o think_v that_o when_o a_o fly_n beat_v back_o with_o her_o wing_n a_o parcel_n of_o air_n and_o that_o parcel_n another_o and_o that_o other_o another_o and_o so_o by_o the_o stir_n of_o a_o flea_n little_a toe_n there_o rise_v a_o bum_n behind_o the_o world_n but_o when_o they_o can_v say_v no_o more_o they_o fly_v to_o rarefaction_n but_o in_o good_a faith_n how_o come_v it_o that_o when_o a_o body_n scarify_v itself_o that_o one_o particle_n can_v be_v separate_v from_o another_o without_o leave_v a_o empty_a place_n must_v not_o these_o two_o body_n that_o be_v just_a now_o separate_v have_v be_v at_o the_o same_o time_n in_o the_o same_o place_n of_o this_o and_o that_o in_o this_o sort_n they_o must_v be_v all_o three_o penetrate_v i_o expect_v you_o will_v ask_v i_o why_o through_o a_o hollow_a trunk_n a_o syringe_n or_o a_o pump_n they_o force_v the_o water_n up_o against_o its_o inclination_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v you_o it_o be_v by_o violence_n but_o it_o be_v not_o the_o fear_n of_o a_o vacuum_n that_o

difficult_a to_o comprehend_v when_o one_o know_v the_o perfect_a circle_n and_o delicate_a contexture_n of_o the_o element_n for_o if_o you_o attentive_o consider_v the_o slime_n which_o marry_v the_o earth_n to_o the_o water_n you_o will_v find_v that_o it_o be_v no_o more_o earth_n nor_o water_n but_o the_o interposer_n betwixt_o these_o two_o enemy_n the_o water_n and_o the_o air_n

their_o mediator_n i_o believe_v he_o will_v have_v pursue_v his_o discourse_n but_o that_o our_o commons_o be_v bring_v and_o my_o body_n be_v very_o hungry_a close_v my_o ear_n to_o his_o discourse_n and_o open_v my_o mouth_n and_o stomach_n to_o the_o welcome_a meat_n i_o remember_v another_o time_n as_o we_o be_v philosophy_v for_o neither_o the_o one_o nor_o the_o other_o delight_v to_o discourse_n of_o mean_a thing_n i_o be_o very_o sorry_a say_v he_o to_o find_v a_o wit_n of_o your_o temper_n infect_v with_o vulgar_a error_n you_o must_v know_v in_o spite_n of_o aristotle_n pedantism_n of_o who_o all_o your_o school_n in_o france_n ring_n that_o all_o be_v in_o all_o that_o be_v for_o example_n that_o in_o water_n there_o be_v fire_n and_o in_o fire_n there_o be_v water_n in_o air_n earth_n and_o in_o earth_n air_n and_o though_o this_o opinion_n make_v your_o scholar_n open_v their_o eye_n as_o big_a as_o saucer_n yet_o it_o be_v easy_a to_o prove_v then_o to_o persuade_v they_o to_o it_o for_o i_o will_v first_o ask_v they_o if_o water_n will_v not_o engender_v fish_n which_o if_o they_o deny_v dig_v a_o pit_n and_o fill_v it_o with_o water_n which_o if_o they_o please_v they_o may_v strain_v to_o avoid_v all_o blind_a objection_n and_o if_o in_o some_o time_n you_o find_v not_o fish_v there_o i_o will_v be_v bind_v to_o swallow_v all_o the_o

now_o to_o find_v water_n in_o fire_n as_o i_o take_v it_o be_v no_o hard_a enterprise_n for_o let_v they_o pick_v out_o fire_n that_o be_v most_o separate_v from_o the_o matter_n if_o they_o please_v as_o comet_n in_o which_o there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n since_o that_o unctuous_a matter_n of_o which_o they_o be_v engender_v convert_v to_o sulphur_n by_o the_o antiperistass_n that_o light_v

that_o there_o be_v air_n in_o the_o earth_n they_o will_v not_o deny_v or_o else_o they_o never_o hear_v of_o the_o horrible_a earthquake_n wherewith_o the_o mountain_n of_o sicily_n be_v agitate_a and_o beside_o that_o we_o see_v the_o earth_n all_o vary_v to_o the_o very_a grain_n of_o sand_n that_o compose_v it_o and_o yet_o none_o say_v those_o pore_n contain_v a_o vacuum_n i_o hope_v then_o they_o will_v not_o be_v angry_a that_o i_o say_v air_n lodge_v there_o now_o i_o must_v prove_v that_o in_o air_n there_o be_v earth_n but_o i_o will_v scarce_o take_v the_o pain_n since_o you_o be_v

of_o the_o world_n will_v ever_o be_v so_o i_o will_v not_o as_o they_o do_v suppose_v a_o maxim_n without_o prove_v it_o wherefore_o take_v a_o log_n or_o any_o other_o combustible_a matter_n and_o

little_o receive_v a_o opinion_n oh_o say_v he_o to_o compass_v it_o you_o must_v suppose_v there_o be_v but_o one_o element_n for_o though_o we_o separate_o see_v water_n earth_n air_n and_o fire_n yet_o we_o never_o find_v they_o so_o perfect_o pure_a but_o that_o they_o be_v interchangeable_o engage_v one_o with_o another_o as_o for_o example_n when_o you_o see_v the_o fire_n it_o be_v not_o

matter_n i_o answer_v you_o that_o this_o matter_n agitate_v sympathetical_o according_a to_o the_o disposition_n it_o be_v then_o in_o fire_n that_o be_v nothing_o but_o earth_n more_o dilate_v

though_o it_o differ_v not_o from_o the_o matter_n of_o fire_n but_o in_o be_v more_o close_v it_o do_v not_o burn_v we_o because_o that_o we_o be_v close_v it_o sympathetical_o close_v the_o body_n it_o meet_v with_o and_o the_o cold_a that_o we_o feel_v be_v nothing_o but_o our_o flesh_n rally_v in_o a_o less_o compass_n draw_v with_o it_o part_n of_o the_o neighbour_n water_n of_o earth_n from_o whence_o it_o proceed_v that_o those_o that_o be_v sick_a of_o a_o dropsy_n convert_v all_o their_o nourishment_n into_o water_n and_o choleric_a man_n change_v the_o blood_n their_o liver_n

to_o the_o centre_n of_o the_o earth_n but_o you_o will_v ask_v i_o why_o that_o iron_n and_o other_o metal_n earth_n and_o wood_n have_v a_o swift_a descent_n towards_o the_o centre_n than_o a_o

more_o rapidity_n than_o a_o feather_n yet_o the_o one_o and_o the_o other_o have_v the_o same_o inclination_n for_o that_o voyage_n as_o for_o example_n a_o cannon-bullet_n if_o the_o earth_n be_v pierce_v quite_o through_o will_v precipitate_v more_o furious_o towards_o its_o centre_n than_o a_o bladder_n fill_v with_o air_n and_o the_o reason_n be_v that_o that_o mass_n of_o the_o metal_n be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o earth_n crowd_v into_o a_o little_a compass_n and_o that_o wind_v a_o little_a earth_n in_o a_o large_a compass_n for_o all_o the_o part_n of_o the_o matter_n which_o be_v

since_o that_o parcel_n of_o air_n equal_a to_o the_o bullet_n in_o bigness_n be_v not_o equal_a in_o quantity_n without_o prove_v this_o by_o a_o multitude_n of_o argument_n in_o good_a faith_n how_o
