have_v be_v lay_v down_o there_o be_v no_o reason_n why_o other_o quality_n may_v not_o be_v produce_v by_o the_o same_o fertile_a principle_n since_o all_o the_o difference_n betwixt_o the_o work_n of_o nature_n and_o art_n in_o alter_v the_o form_n of_o natural_a body_n lie_v in_o this_o viz._n that_o in_o the_o work_v of_o nature_n active_a and_o passive_a body_n casual_o meet_v together_o and_o
the_o more_o their_o fluidity_n be_v increase_v body_n a_o fluid_n may_v be_v obtain_v from_o a_o consistent_a body_n and_o here_o it_o may_v not_o be_v unseasonable_a to_o inquire_v how_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o a_o transparent_a liquor_n shall_v be_v draw_v from_o such_o brittle_a body_n as_o common_a salt_n i_o know_v it_o be_v usual_o allege_v that_o the_o fire_n only_o separate_v the_o

it_o be_v rather_o probable_a that_o the_o fire_n only_o divide_v their_o part_n and_o put_v they_o into_o a_o violent_a agitation_n by_o which_o they_o be_v raise_v in_o the_o form_n of_o vapour_n

and_o so_o preserve_v that_o body_n in_o the_o form_n of_o a_o fluid_a the_o motion_n of_o the_o air_n or_o of_o some_o interpose_a body_n concur_v to_o preserve_v the_o part_n of_o that_o in_o

observe_v that_o snow_n which_o be_v of_o a_o open_a and_o slight_a texture_n before_o it_o be_v compress_v may_v soon_o be_v squeeze_v into_o so_o close_a and_o compact_a a_o lump_n as_o to_o

observe_v that_o though_o such_o vacuity_n be_v necessary_a to_o constitute_v fluid_a body_n yet_o they_o be_v only_o so_o to_o use_v school-term_n as_o removens_fw-la prohibens_fw-la i._n e._n they_o

to_o fluidity_n 3._o to_o the_o principal_a and_o last_o requisite_a in_o modify_v a_o fluid_a body_n which_o be_v that_o all_o the_o particle_n of_o a_o fluid_a body_n shall_v be_v separately_z and_o

difference_n betwixt_o solid_a and_o fluid_a body_n seem_v to_o consist_v in_o this_o viz._n that_o the_o part_n of_o solid_n be_v at_o rest_n and_o not_o so_o apt_a to_o yield_v to_o the_o pressure_n of_o one_o finger_n as_o the_o part_n of_o liquids_n be_v which_o be_v in_o motion_n since_o the_o latter_a be_v already_o agitate_a to_o and_o fro_o it_o be_v much_o more_o easy_a to_o guide_v that_o
