A96369Again, because a Body is ordered naturally to Act and to Suffer, we ask, what it can or can not do?
A96369Again, if, to endure be, for the same thing to be the same it was; is it not clear, ther''s nothing requir''d but a non- mutation?
A96369Again, the universall answer is evident to all those questions, Whether God knows Future contingents?
A96369Again; why''t is often sexangular, or rather like a Star with six rayes?
A96369And this sense seems the better: for, what could be the end why God should appear a- walking?
A96369And what did God?
A96369And, how will it unite?
A96369And, that this is true, appears out of those explications of Place, whereby, usually, answer is made to the Question, Where is such a thing?
A96369But, if it be ask''d, what the proposition will signify, if it be referr''d immediately to the effect, as it sounds?
A96369By what or How?
A96369Concerning the proper nature of Body, because''t is Finite, we ask, of what Figure''t is?
A96369Do you ask, What fruits I expect?
A96369Hence, then, those Questions are superfluous, Whether one Form can be the same in divers Matters?
A96369If in Rest, the Predicate is neither constantly fixt to the Subject, nor the Subject to the Predicate; and then we ask, where a thing is?
A96369If it be, therefore, ask''d, what men mean by such propositions,''t will rain,''t will be hot, Socrates will be angry or go to Sea,& c?
A96369In what?
A96369Infinite things?
A96369Materia prima?
A96369Mentall or imaginary things?
A96369Negations?
A96369Of this last, we ask, When was the Motion?
A96369Predicates of the first kind are said to be predicated in quid or as the what; being such as answer to the question, what a thing is?
A96369THe solution, also, of that old Question is evident, Why God made not the World before?
A96369The second is, Why God, of all others should name Day and Night, the Firmament, the Land and Seas, and lastly Man; but none of the rest?

A96369To the question, therefore, Whether time would passe on were the Sun or Heavens immoveable?
A96369WHat says Theology to this?
A96369What more?
A96369When the Subject is mov''d, we ask, by what?
A96369Why?
A96369You''l ask, wherein consists this action of an Intelligence upon a body?
A96369You''l say, Since a Spirit is a Thing of another order then a body, how can it concurre into the same Thing?
A96369and again, Whether many Forms in one Matter?
A96369and that we answer is said to Act, and the Subject to Suffer from it: when the Subject moves, we ask, what it moves?
A96369and what we answer is call''d its Quality: Lastly,''t is compar''d to other particular things; and we ask, what''t is in respect to another?
A96369and, on the other side, that, of two things which exist, if one perish, that''s said to be chang''d; that which endures remaining still unchang''d?
A96369and, what neighbourhood of one to the other?
A96369because''t is Alterable by others, we ask, how''t is, in respect to those Qualities according to which''t is variable?
A96369but, with the addition of what kind or what in particular?
A96369is irrationall; and signifies just as if they should say, If the sides of the sphear were joyn''d,& nothing else done, would they be joyn''d?
A96369or, what consequence is this, An Angel wills, therefore a Body is rarefy''d?
A96369the secrets of Hearts?
A96369then, how will it be cemented?
A96369whereto the Predicate we answer is call''d its Site or Situation: Or lastly, the Predicate is fixt to the Subject, and we ask, what it has?
A60282And if their production be of that nature, out of what matter they are formed?
A60282As if the Coal dipped from A, which is the Cropp, to B, which should be the Center of that Body; and after that rise to C?
A60282But here occurrs the great question, namely, why I find only the weight of the Water GA, and nothing of the weight of the Water, CE, or DE?
A60282But how can AB, that''s 12 foot high, press A, with as much weight, as when it s 34 foot high?
A60282But put the case( you say) the weight R, were 130 pound, 160 pound, or 180 pound, would the beam be less or more burdened with the superior Water?
A60282But what if we do more,( say they) even overthrow many of all your Aerostatical and Hydrostatical Experiments, in this, and in your last Pe ● ce?
A60282But why is it then,( say you) that the stronger the suction be, the higher the Mercury ascends in the Pipe?
A60282But why is the Tub prest up with 13 ounces?
A60282But why may not a man come up every half hour, when he finds difficulty to tarry down in a little Ark?
A60282But why ought a surface to succumb, when the Pillar grows in hight, and not to fail when it grows only in breadth?
A60282But why ought the Brass to be suspended at 25 foot from the top?
A60282But why should a larger part of a surface be stronger than a narrower part?
A60282First, what''s the reason, why the Mercury subsides, and sinks down from H to G?
A60282First, why ought the Mercury to rise in the two Tubs, after the Vessel is filled with Water?
A60282How then is it counterpoised?
A60282If a Coal encountering amascent, or Brae above ground in its Streek, rises also with the ground, and keeps its ascent?
A60282If it be asked, between what two things is the equipondium now?
A60282If it be asked, how come we to the knowledge of this, that the pressure and weight of the Element of Air, is sometimes less, and sometimes more?
A60282If it be asked, how comes it to pass, that the Pillar of Water IH, is exactly the weight of the 58 inches of Mercury?
A60282If it be enquired, how can one and the same Water, counterpoise two Fluids of different weights?
A60282If it be enquired, how much weight rests upon the palm of a mans hand, when the Ark is down about 68 foot?
A60282If it be enquired, whether or not, would the Mercury run out at B, upon supposition, the shank LD were twice as wide, as the shank BD?
A60282If it be inquired, whether bodies, that are naturally lighter, will weigh in Water?
A60282If it be inquired, whether or not, would the 14 inches of Mercury AB fall down, a small hole being made in the top of the Tub at B?
A60282If it be inquired, whither the greatest hazard is from the ingress of the Water, or from the egress of the Air?
A60282If it be said, how can such a Fluid Body as Water, be able to support any part of the weight of the stone, that is such a heavy Body?
A60282If so much rest upon the palm, how much must rest upon the rest of the parts of the body?
A60282If then, it be supported by the said surface, why ought I to find the weight of it, when I lift up the Pipe a little from the bottom of the Vessel?
A60282If this be,( you say) what is the weight of Air, that rests upon this Table, that''s 36 inches square?
A60282Is then the Hydrostaticks, a Science long ago perfected?
A60282It may be enquired here, how far this Glass would go down, before the 29 inches of Air IK were reduced to one inch?
A60282It may be enquired, what hazard would follow, upon supposition a small hole were pierced in the head of the Ark above, when it is going down?
A60282It may be here inquired, what sort of proportion is keeped by the unequal ingress of the Water?
A60282It may be here inquired, whether or not, Mercury would ascend in this Glass, as the Water does?
A60282It may be inquired next, what''s the weight of the Air, that burdens the pavement of this parlour, that''s 16 foot square?
A60282It may be inquired secondly, how far Mercury will ascend, and how far Water will creep up?
A60282It may be inquired secondly, why it halts at G, 58 inches from AB, and comes no further down?
A60282Now the question is, why there being but 50 inches of Water in the Tub, while erected, there should be 60 in it, when it is reclined?
A60282Now, I enquire, whether these 18 ounces, are the equipondium of the VVater within the Glass, or of the weight of Lead B?
A60282Now, what''s the reason, why it runs up from R to E, and why it falls down from I to D?
A60282Or if it should continue its declination thorow B to D, which is Antipodes to us?
A60282Or if these 18 ounces in the Scale O, be the counterpoise of the Water within the Glass, I enquire what sustains the weight of the Lead B?
A60282Or why doth it not extuberat in any other place of the Graff?
A60282Or, if they have been but produced gradually, as they speak of Gold, and other Minerals, by the influence of the Sun, in the bowels of the Earth?
A60282Secondly, how shall we come to the true knowledge of that weight; that is, to know distinctly how many pounds or ounces it is of?
A60282Secondly, why rather six inches, then seven or eight?
A60282Secondly, why there should be 90 inches of Water in the Tub BE, and but 50 in it, when it stands Perpendicular, as DA?
A60282The Devil said to him, Saw you that?
A60282The Devil then roared mightily, and cryed out, What?
A60282The first question is, what sustains the VVater IO; for the part FI, is sustained by the ambient VVater?
A60282The question now is, what''s the reason, why the VVater creeps up after this manner, 10 or 12 inches above the surface AB?
A60282The question then is, why doth it lose half a pound of its weight?
A60282Thirdly, what''s the reason, why it rises as high in the wide Tub, as in the narrow?
A60282Trial likewise might be made, by firing a great piece of Ordnance above, whether the report would be heard below the Water or not?
A60282What hath so highly commended Merchiston over all Europe, as his inventions, especially his Logarithmes?
A60282Will ye not speak to me?
A60282Would you see me?

A34110For who ever saw that?
A34110For who knoweth not, that water doth evaporate, and is turned into air?
A34110For why should we think that impossible in Physicks, which is so excellently atchieved in Mathematicks?
A34110Hence also that question, Whether the soul be propagated by generation?
A34110Hence it appears 1 why a feaver begins with cold?
A34110Hence it is understood, why after a great fire there arises a wind presently,( even in the still air?)
A34110III And what would we have more?
A34110If true( for who can determine otherwise without blasphemie) why may we not conferre them with those things that are manifest by sense& reason?
A34110Is it so indeed that there is not a God in Israel, that we go to enquire of the gods of Ekron?
A34110Is the light of Hierusalem so put out, that we must needs borrow lamps at Athens?

A34110It appears also, why man is commonly said to consist of a body and a soule only?
A34110It appears then why motion provokes appetite?
A34110It comes therefore to be explained, whence a living creature hath heat and fire?
A34110Now it appeares hence, 1 Why too sharpe or too dull sounds offend, the temperate please us?

A34110Or the sonne of Sirach say in vain: The Word of God most High is the fountain of wisdom?

A44011And do not the Organs of Sight, the Eye, the Heart, and Brains resist that pressure by an endeavour of restitution outwards?
A44011And first, how does the difficulty of separation argue the Plenitude of all the rest of the world?
A44011And is not the diagonal the root of a square equal to 8 squares of DV?
A44011And now you give it another odd motion; How can all these consist in one and the same body?
A44011And this may answer to the Question, How a stone could fall to the Earth under the Poles of the Ecliptick, by the only casting off of Air?
A44011And what say you is the cause of this?
A44011And when you look towards the Sun or Moon, why is not that also which appears before your Eyes at that time a fancy?
A44011And''t is the way also by which the Table of Sines, Secants aud Tangents have been calculated, Are they all Cut?
A44011Before you leave the Ship tell me how it comes about that so small a thing as a Rudder, can so easily turn the greatest Ship?
A44011But had you not Wind enough presently after?
A44011But has that endeavour no effect at all before the impediment be removed?
A44011But how can the slow motion of a Cloud make so swift a Wind as it does?
A44011But how comes Wood with a certain degree of Heat to shine, and Iron also with a greater degree; but no Heat at all to be able to make water shine?
A44011But how comes it to pass that water does not use to Freeze in a deep Pit?
A44011But how?
A44011But is it not too bold, if not extravagant, an assertion, to say the Earth is moved as a man shakes a Basen or a Seive?
A44011But suppose there be no place empty( for I will defer the Question till anon) how can the Earth cast off either the Air, or any thing else?
A44011But then how are great drops frozen into Hailstones, and that especially( as we see they are) in Summer?
A44011But upon what ground do you believe it?
A44011But what alteration do you find in your body at any time by being Hot?
A44011But what had I to do to meddle with matters of that nature, seeing Religion is not Philosophy, but Law?
A44011But what is that which appears after the pressing of the eye?
A44011But what makes a stone come down, suppose from G?
A44011But what of that?
A44011But what part of the Heaven do you suppose the Poles of your pricked Circle point to?
A44011But what should that innundate, unless it should overflow the Sea that comes close to the foot of those Mountains?
A44011But when you pull the whole Superficies assunder, not without great difficulty, what is the cause of that difficulty?
A44011But why comes it down still with encreasing swiftness?
A44011By what Motion( seeing you ascribe all Effects to Motion) can a Load- stone draw Iron to it?
A44011Can a line be equal to a Cube?
A44011Can not every drop of bloud move at the same time in your veins?
A44011Can not you also walk upon the Deck?
A44011Can the Bullet lose so much of its force in the way from E to G?
A44011Do you find any Experiment to the contrary?
A44011Do you think( as some have written) that the Earth is a great Load- stone?
A44011Does it not make 2 Roots of 2?
A44011Does not the Earth move from West to East every day once, upon his own Center, and in the Ecliptick Circle once a year?
A44011Does not the Mediterranean- Sea lie also East and West?
A44011Does not the Sun by his thrusting back the Air upon you eyes press them?
A44011For it is impossible that any Air can pass into the place to fill it?
A44011For it will stop by the way, suppose at D. Is it not therefore necessary that that space between C and D be left empty?
A44011H. How is light Refracted?
A44011HAve you seen a Printed Paper sent from Paris, containing the Duplication of the Cube, written in French?
A44011Have you drawn from hence no Corollaries?
A44011Have you ever been so much distempered with drinking Wine, as to think the Windows and Table move?
A44011How are you sure?
A44011How can it be known that the particles of Wine have such a Motion as you suppose?
A44011How can the difference be so much?
A44011How come living creatures to be killed in this Receiver, in so little a time as 3 or 4 minutes of an hour?
A44011How comes Refractin?
A44011How comes it about that the Moon hath such a stroke in the business, as so sensibly to encrease the Tides at Full and Change?
A44011How comes it to pass that a Ship should go against the Wind which moves it, even almost point blank, as if it were not driven but drawn?
A44011How comes it to pass that a man is warmed even to sweating almost with every extraordinary labour of his body?
A44011How comes the Light of the Sun to burn almost any combustible matter by rerefraction through a convex glass, and by reflection from a concave?
A44011How comes the wind in?
A44011How do you apply this to a Ship?
A44011How does 3 roots of 72 make the root of 648?
A44011How does 9 roots of 2 make the root of 162?
A44011How does Heat cause light, and that partially in some bodies more, in some less, though the Heat be equal?
A44011How does the root of 2 multiplyed into the root of 72 make 12?
A44011How is that true?
A44011How know you, that any thing is Hot but your self?
A44011How many motions now do you assign to one and the same drop of bloud?
A44011How then comes a Bullet, when shot very Obliquely into any broad Water, and having entred, yet to rise, again into the Air?
A44011How then does the Fire from the Sun pass through the glass of water without being put out before it come to the matter they would have it burn?
A44011How?
A44011If a man thrust down into a vessel of Quick- silver a blown Bladder, will not that Bladder come up to the top?
A44011If the Sun can thus draw up the water; though but in small drops, why can it not as easily hold it up?
A44011If there were empty space in the World, why should not there be also some empty space in the Vial before it was sucked?
A44011If you be a Shipboard under sail, do not you go with the Ship?
A44011Is not that an argument that part of the Air had been sucked out, and part of the room within the Vial left empty?
A44011Is their Calculation so inconstant, or rather so foolish as you make it?
A44011Lines, or Squares, or Cubes?
A44011One thing more I desire to know, and that is; What are those things they call Spirits?
A44011Or does not those bodies whereon the Sun shines( though by reflection) do the same, though not so strongly?
A44011Or will you say the Quick silver does not exactly touch the sides of the glass pipe?
A44011Take a piece of soft wax; Do not you think the one half touches the other half as close as the smoothest Marbles?
A44011That has already been granted, my question is what breaks them?
A44011There must needs be the same or as much Air come to that space( which only is empty) between C and D. By what force?
A44011WHat convincing Argument is there to prove, that in all the world there is no empty place?
A44011WHat is the cause of Heat?
A44011WHat is the original cause of Rain?
A44011WHat makes the Flux and Reflux of the Sea twice in a natural day?
A44011Well now, supposing the world full, how do you prove it possible to pull those Marbles assunder?
A44011What are those sparks that flie out of the Fire?
A44011What argument have you to convince me that there is Motion in a Cross- bow when it stands bent?
A44011What bar is that you find in the Ocean, that stops the current of the water, like that you make in the Basen?
A44011What can be the cause of that?
A44011What is Flame?
A44011What is it that breaketh the Clouds when they are frozen?
A44011What is tbe difference between Reflection and Recoiling?
A44011What is that 45?
A44011What is the cause of Freezing of the Ocean towards the Poles of the Earth?
A44011What is the cause of Reflection?
A44011What is the cause of that?
A44011What is the reason it Rains so seldom, but Snows so often upon very high Mountains?
A44011What is the reason of that?
A44011What makes Snow?
A44011What makes them gather together?
A44011What mean you by Spring?
A44011What say you to that?
A44011What then?
A44011What then?
A44011What was it then that troubled the Water?
A44011What weight laid upon the head of a Nail, and in how much time will do the same?
A44011When a Bullet enters not, but rebounds from the wall, does it make the same Angle going off, which it did falling on, as the Sun- beams do?
A44011When a Bullet from out of the Air entreth into a Wall of Earth, will that also be Refracted towards the Perpendicular?
A44011When you see( for example) a Cross- bow bent, do you think the parts of it stir?
A44011Whence then comes the Motion by which it reboundeth?
A44011Where lies the difference?
A44011Whither can this Air go if all the World without that glass pipe B C were full?
A44011Why are not somteimes also whole Clouds when pregnant and ready to drop, frozen into one piece of Ice?
A44011Why are the Hardest things the most brittle, insomuch that what force soever is enough to bend them, is enough also to break them?
A44011Why can not that Vacuum come into the place between?
A44011Why do you grant it to be true in Arithmetick?
A44011Why does any Brass or Iron Vessel, if it be hollow, flote upon the water, being so very heavy?
A44011Why does the Earth cast off Air more easily than it does Water, or any other heavy bodies?
A44011Why does the Fire melt divers Hard bodies, and yet not all?
A44011Why does the South Wind more often then any other bring Rain with it?
A44011Why is there so little Rain in Egypt, and yet so much in other parts nearer the Aequinoctial, as to make the Nile overflow the Countrey?
A44011Why may not some of that Vacuum be brought in, and mingled with the Air here?
A44011Why not?
A44011Why should not the Nile then overflow that Countrey twice a year?
A44011Why so?
A44011Why so?
A44011Why then should there not be without and before the Eye, an apparition of Light in this case as well as in the other?
A44011Why will not Wine Freeze as well as Water?
A44011Why, what is 2?
A44011You will say the Air comes out again with the same violence by reflection; and I believe it?
A44011and how is it generated?
A44011the Root of 2, and 2 BR equal to the Diagonal?
A44011what else can you think makes the Diurnal motion of the Earth, but the Sun?
A44011why are there not the like Tides there?
A4398330 min?
A43983A. I understand now from what Cause proceedeth the Annual Motion: Is the Sun the Cause also of the Diurnal Motion?
A43983And by what Motion?
A43983And how broad?
A43983And how define you Time?
A43983And if it have far to go, divide it self into drops?
A43983And is not the Variation there D a Westerly, with the North- point of the Needle in the Line a h?
A43983And is not there a great Sea called the Atlantick Sea that runneth Northward to us?
A43983And since I can not go through them, I must give over somewhere, and why not here?
A43983And where upon the Earth are there not Eminencies and depressions, except in some wide Sea, and a great way from Land?
A43983And why falls it not down in shivers?
A43983Are there not great Seas of Ice in the Northern parts of the Earth?
A43983As how?
A43983As how?
A43983But how applies he this, to prove that the water can not hurt a Fish in the Sea by its weight?
A43983But how comes it to pass, that when a Loadstone hath drawn a piece of Iron, you may add to it another, as if they begat one another?
A43983But how is it possible that so soft a Substance as water should be turned into so hard a Substance as Ice?
A43983But how then could there be made in the Recipient such strange alteration both on animate and inanimate Bodies?
A43983But how?
A43983But if the Water be above the Fire in a Kettle, what then will it do?
A43983But is there any necessity of so much niceness?
A43983But since we seek the Natural Causes of Sublunary Effects, where shall we begin?
A43983But the Greeks that travelled( you say) into Egypt, what Philosophy did they carry home?
A43983But the Natural heat of a man or other living Creature, whence proceedeth it?
A43983But then I ask you whether the Moon have also that compounded Motion of the Earth, and with it a Motion upon its own Centre, as hath the Earth?
A43983But what Natural Cause doth he assign of this revolution of 600 years?
A43983But what are his Suppositions for the Question he handles?
A43983But what are the Questions which from these Books you intend to ask me?
A43983But what deduce you from these Motions of the Sun?
A43983But what if there be Islands, and narrow Inlets of the Sea, or Rivers also about the Pole of the Aequinoctial?
A43983But what infers he from it?
A43983But what is that which kills men that lie asleep too neer a Charcole- fire?
A43983But what is the Cause that the Obliquity of the Ecliptique, that is, the distance between the Aequinoctial and the Solstice, is not always the same?
A43983But what is the second Experiment?
A43983But what mean you by resistance?
A43983But what need had they then to assigne any cause at all, seeing they could not shew the Effect was to follow from it?
A43983But what of that?
A43983But what say you to the stupendious Tides which happen on the Coasts of Lincolnshire on the East, and in the River of Severn on the West?
A43983But when the Ice is made, how is it broken?
A43983But when there proceed from one Sound divers Echoes, what are those Echoes?
A43983But when you finde your self hot, what Body do you feel?
A43983But why then should Quicksilver be heavier than Stone or Steel?
A43983Can a Cloud be turned into Ice?
A43983Can you guess what may be the Cause of Wind?
A43983Can you prove the contrary?
A43983Did neither of them consider that descending is local Motion, that they might have called it an intrinsecal Motion rather than an intrinsecal quality?
A43983Do not you see that every day Men make Glass, and other Diaphanous Bodies not much inferior in beauty to the fairest Gems?
A43983Do you conceive me?
A43983Do you think Air and Water to be pure and Homogeneous Bodies?
A43983Do you think Wind the general Cause of Cold?
A43983Do you think any Argument can be drawn from it to prove there is Vacuum?
A43983Do you think that to be impossible?
A43983Do you think the Air makes no resistance, especially to so swift a Motion as is the Annual Motion of the Earth?
A43983Do you think( as many Philosophers have held and now hold) that Cold is nothing but a privation of Heat?
A43983Does he think the Body of water that runs out at the side, and that which runs out at the bottom is but one and the same Body of water?
A43983Does it follow thence that one Body can go more than one way at once?
A43983Does not the Earth make the Wind as great in one part of the Ecliptique as in another?
A43983Does, when the Tide runs up into a River, the water all rise together, and fall together when it goes out?
A43983For in so great an Agitation of Natural Bodies, may not some small parts of them be cast out, and leave the places empty from whence they were thrown?
A43983For why may not there be some other fixed Star, neerer to some Planet than is the Sun, and cause such a light in it as we call a Comet?
A43983From what Experiment can you evidently infer that there is no Vacuum?
A43983From whence come the Rivers?
A43983Has the Moon nothing to do in this business?
A43983Hath it also an intrinsecal quality to go from the Earth?
A43983Have you any Experiment that shews it?
A43983Have you never seen a Stone that seemed to have been formerly Wood, and some like Shells, and some like Serpents, and others like other things?
A43983How know you that the Sun is hot?
A43983How lieth the water in those two Seas?
A43983How long?
A43983How then can there be a Spring upon the top of a Hill?
A43983How then can you infer your heat from the Sense of Feeling?
A43983How?
A43983How?
A43983If I have a minde to study( for example Natural Philosophy) must I then needs read Aristotle, or some of those that now are in request?
A43983If sucking would make Vacuum, what would become of those women that are Nurses?
A43983In what time do they make the whole Revolution through the Ecliptique of the Sky?
A43983Is it a hard or Fluid Body?
A43983Is it another kind of Fly?
A43983Is it not Flame?
A43983Is it so?
A43983Is it so?
A43983Is not the Sun the same it was?
A43983Is not there a great Sea that reacheth from the Straight of Magellan Eastward to the Indies, and thence to the same Straight again?
A43983Is not this a certain signe that you had suckt out some of the Air, and consequently that some part of the Vial was left empty?
A43983Is that all?
A43983Is that true?
A43983Is there any thing within their Bodies that hath this compounded Motion?
A43983Is there the like Motion in the generation of Animals?
A43983Is there then no transubstantiation of Bodies but by mixture?
A43983Is this all the preparation I am to make?
A43983Know you not Gunpowder is made of the powder of Charcole, Brimstone, and Salt- peter?
A43983Must not the Air that lay upon it rise with it?
A43983Must not the Sun work upon it as it did upon the Water?
A43983Must not then the Air Gravitate?
A43983Must not then the Water in the Vessel rise?
A43983Now seeing they have the same internal motion of parts with that of the Earth, why should not their substance be the same, or very near a kin?
A43983Or from the Hangings of a Chamber wherein a man hath died?
A43983Or is Charcole venimous?
A43983Or is there no Earth now soft enough?
A43983Seeing all Generation, Augmentation, and Alteration is local Motion, how can a Body not Transparent be made Transparent?
A43983Shall another man there draw the Infection from the Clothes onely by his breath?
A43983Shall the particles of water go toward the Fire, as it did toward the Sun?
A43983Since they can make one Transparent Body of many, why do they not of a great many small sparks of natural Diamant compound one great one?
A43983Suppose A c to be the Needle, shall it not incline, as well here as at D a, and the Variation B c be Easterly?
A43983The Counter is certainly one of those things we call Bodies: Are not the others so too?
A43983The Sucker being now forc''d up into the Cylinder, what do you think must follow?
A43983WHat Books are those?
A43983Was not part of the Glass under Water?
A43983What Experiment have you seen to this purpose?
A43983What Motion is it that maketh a hard Body to melt?
A43983What Natural Cause can you assigne for this Excentricity?
A43983What are Dr. Wallis his Suppositions?
A43983What cause then can there be, why it should stand still at 29 inches above the level of the Bason, rather than any place else?
A43983What do you infer from this?
A43983What follows?
A43983What is his second Hypothesis?
A43983What is next to be done?
A43983What is that you call Fire?
A43983What is the Cause why a Bow of Wood or Steel, or other very hard Body, being bent, but not broken, will recover its former degree of straightness?
A43983What is the Cause why the Iron rub''d over by a Loadstone will receive the vertue which the Loadstone hath of drawing Iron to it?
A43983What is this, but a confession that the Poles of the Magnet and of the Earth are the same?
A43983What kind of Motion is the Cause of Cold?
A43983What need had they of that?
A43983What other Definitions have I need of?
A43983What other Suppositions has he?
A43983What poor Geometrician is there, but takes pride to be thought a Conjurer?
A43983What saies he further concerning Gravity?
A43983What then be they but fancies, so many fancies of one and the same thing in several places?
A43983What think you must happen to the Sea, which resteth on it, and is a Fluid Body?
A43983What think you of it?
A43983What think you of this?
A43983What was it that deceiv''d him now?
A43983What wonder is it then, if two parts of water run two ways at once, or a thousand parts a thousand ways?
A43983When began they thus to play the Charletants?
A43983When the Ice is once made and hard, what dissolves it?
A43983When the Swords are in the hands of men, whether had you rather command the Men or the Swords?
A43983Where is Vaygate?
A43983Which of them think you had the greater share?
A43983Whither should this rising Air go, since there is no place empty to receive it?
A43983Whom do you mean, the Successors of Plato, Epicurus, Aristotle, and the other first Philosophers?
A43983Why do some hard Bodies resist breaking more one way than another?
A43983Why hath not the Earth the same vertue now?
A43983Why is he still medling with things of such difficulty?
A43983Why is not Ice as well made in a moved as in a still water?
A43983Why is that?
A43983Why may not so much Air rather descend into the place forsaken, and leave as much Vacuum as that comes to, in the Recipient?
A43983Why may not that Substance within our Bodies, which are called Animal spirits, be another kind of Body, and more subtile than the common Air?
A43983Why not?
A43983Why not?
A43983Why say you that?
A43983Why so?
A43983Why then do men say they finde one Air healthy, another infectious?
A43983Why, when the Cause of Gravity consisteth in Motion, should you despair of finding it?
A43983Why?
A43983Will not that Lightning burn?
A43983Would you have them then betray their Profession and Authority, that is to say, their Livelihood, by confessing their ignorance?
A43983You hope not then to make Gold by Art?
A43983Your walking may have made you hot: Is Motion therefore hot?
A43983a Question, At what distance from the Earth are the Magnetick Poles?
A43983and does not the great South- Sea run also up into the Northern Seas?

A32712?
A32712A subordinate scruple, why most bodies are moved through the Aer, with so little resistence, as is imperceptible by sense?
A32712And forasmuch as by that Adverb, Ultimum, Finally, He gives us the occasion of Enquiring, An in Corruptione detur resolutio adusque materiam Primam?
A32712And if so, pray how incomprehensible thin must each of them be?
A32712And if this be so easily, why should that be so hardly admittible?

A32712And, what, think you, becomes of those interior particles, which compose its Crassitude or thickness?
A32712Because, as those parts, which are deduced from a Continuum, must be praeexistent therein before deduction( else whence are they deduceable?)
