suppose_v as_o this_o author_n will_v insinuate_v that_o mountain_n or_o cold_a dilate_v vapour_n but_o on_o the_o contrary_a that_o they_o stop_v and_o compress_v they_o as_o the_o word_n be_v cite_v even_o by_o the_o examiner_n a_o little_a before_o p._n 86._o then_o as_o to_o the_o course_n of_o the_o vapour_n when_o they_o be_v raise_v the_o theorist_n suppose_v that_o will_v be_v towards_o the_o pole_n and_o the_o cold_a climate_n but_o this_o author_n say_v they_o will_v all_o move_v westward_o or_o from_o east_n to_o west_n 97._o there_o be_v a_o continual_a wind_n blow_v from_o the_o

little_a probability_n that_o their_o condensation_n will_v be_v under_o the_o equator_fw-la where_o they_o be_v most_o agitate_a but_o rather_o by_o a_o impulse_n of_o new_a vapour_n they_o will_v soon_o divert_v towards_o the_o pole_n and_o lose_v their_o agitation_n there_o will_v fall_v in_o dew_n or_o ra_n which_o condensation_n be_v make_v and_o a_o passage_n open_v that_o way_n for_o

seven_o chapter_n which_o be_v in_o a_o good_a measure_n upon_o the_o same_o or_o a_o like_a subject_n with_o this_o namely_o concern_v the_o penetration_n of_o the_o heat_n of_o the_o sun_n into_o the_o body_n of_o the_o earth_n 148._o this_o he_o say_v can_v be_v to_o any_o considerable_a depth_n nor_o can_v it_o pass_v the_o exterior_a orb_n of_o the_o first_o earth_n and_o affect_v the_o abyss_n or_o raise_v vapour_n from_o it_o to_o prove_v this_o he_o suppose_v that_o exterior_a earth_n divide_v into_o so_o many_o surface_v as_o he_o please_v then_o suppose_v the_o heat_n diminish_v in_o every_o surface_n he_o conclude_v it_o can_v not_o possible_o pass_v through_o so_o many_o thus_o you_o may_v divide_v a_o inch_n into_o a_o hundred_o or_o a_o thousand_o surface_n and_o prove_v from_o thence_o that_o no_o heat_n of_o the_o sun_n can_v pierce_v through_o a_o inch_n of_o earth_n we_o must_v rather_o consider_v pore_n than_o surface_v in_o this_o case_n and_o whether_o those_o pore_n be_v straight_o or_o oblique_a the_o motion_n will_v pass_v however_o '_o tho_o not_o the_o light_n and_o the_o heat_n of_o the_o sun_n may_v have_v its_o effect_n by_o a_o direct_a or_o indirect_a motion_n to_o a_o great_a depth_n within_o the_o earth_n notwithstanding_o the_o multitude_n of_o surface_n that_o he_o imagine_v those_o that_o think_v a_o comet_n upon_o its_o near_a approach_n to_o the_o sun_n will_v be_v pierce_v with_o its_o heat_n through_o and_o through_o and_o to_o such_o a_o degree_n as_o to_o become_v much_o hot_a than_o red_a hot_a iron_n will_v not_o think_v it_o strange_a that_o at_o our_o distance_n from_o the_o sun_n its_o heat_n shall_v have_v some_o proportionable_a effect_n upon_o the_o inward_a part_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o all_o those_o imaginary_a solid_a surface_n do_v not_o hinder_v you_o see_v the_o magnetic_a particle_n from_o run_v through_o the_o body_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o make_v the_o globe_n one_o great_a magnet_n but_o let_v those_o consideration_n have_v what_o effect_n they_o can_v this_o supposition_n however_o be_v nothing_o peculiar_a to_o the_o theorist_n i_o know_v some_o learned_a man_n think_v the_o heat_n of_o the_o sun_n do_v penetrate_v deep_a into_o the_o bowel_n of_o the_o earth_n other_o think_v it_o do_v not_o and_o either_o of_o they_o have_v their_o argument_n these_o allege_v the_o equal_a

than_o the_o external_a air_n and_o those_o difference_n that_o appear_v to_o we_o be_v in_o a_o great_a measure_n by_o comparison_n with_o the_o temper_n of_o our_o body_n then_o for_o their_o own_o opinion_n they_o take_v a_o argument_n from_o the_o generation_n of_o metal_n and_o mineral_n in_o the_o bowel_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o other_o subterraneous_a fossile_n these_o we_o see_v be_v

the_o sun_n of_o the_o same_o sun_n that_o actuate_v all_o the_o vegetable_a world_n that_o quicken_v seed_n and_o raise_v juice_n into_o the_o root_n of_o our_o deep_a and_o top_n of_o our_o high_a

to_o the_o depth_n of_o earthquake_n we_o find_v they_o be_v deep_o than_o the_o bottom_n of_o the_o sea_n for_o beside_o that_o they_o communicate_v with_o different_a country_n divide_v by_o the_o sea_n they_o be_v find_v sometime_o to_o arise_v within_o the_o sea_n and_o from_o the_o bottom_n of_o it_o at_o great_a depth_n this_o seem_v to_o prove_v that_o there_o may_v be_v a_o strong_a rarefaction_n of_o vapour_n and_o exhalation_n far_o within_o the_o bowel_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o the_o theorist_n desire_v no_o more_o if_o in_o the_o present_a constitution_n of_o the_o earth_n there_o may_v be_v such_o concussion_n and_o subversion_n for_o a_o great_a extent_n we_o have_v no_o reason_n to_o believe_v but_o there_o may_v be_v at_o a_o time_n appoint_v by_o providence_n a_o
