thing_n tend_v and_o descend_v it_o can_v descend_v low_a than_o it_o be_v by_o the_o nature_n thereof_o and_o therefore_o because_o it_o be_v solid_a and_o thick_a and_o not_o liquid_a and_o fluent_a as_o the_o water_n and_o the_o air_n it_o can_v glide_v as_o they_o do_v nor_o remove_v out_o of_o one_o place_n into_o another_o if_o it_o be_v not_o by_o some_o violence_n elsewhere_o move_v and_o

say_v that_o the_o proverb_n be_v not_o ever_o true_a which_o say_v that_o two_o mountain_n never_o meet_v there_o be_v yet_o another_o kind_n of_o motion_n wherein_o the_o earth_n move_v and_o
