A46234Or barre him from such poor and simple food?
A46234Or why doth this power reside in that body rather than in another, and perisheth presently afterwards?
A46234Plutarch makes mention of the same bird, in a Treatise that begins, Whether an Egge were first or a Hen?
A46234That it shall be burnt by degrees?
A46234That which Albertus saw was a hand breadth and a half thick, ten foot long, without any spirall lines, and like to a Stags Horn?
A46234The Learned make a question, whether the Jews Manna was the same with ours?
A46234The cause is the compacted matter, Lemnius, l. c. What shall we say of Pyrrhus, on whose great joynt of his right foot, fire could not prevail?
A46234WHat is the chief thing in humane affairs?
A46234WHat then?

A46234What therefore can that be but God?
A46234What will this do in the body of man?
A46234When it flowes in one hemisphear, and both the Luminaries are in the other, what is the cause of that?
A46234Whence shall this burning be, but that moysture must fail?
A46234Whence then?
A46234Where hath Nature placed so many senses in the Gnat?
A46234Where hath she made that horrid and great Voyce, considering its proportion of body?
A46234Where hath she set her eyes?
A46234Wherefore do we go to Mountaines?
A46234Whether he may not provide ships to attempt places unknown?
A46234Who knows not but that the knowledge of God is the principall end of Sciences?
A46234Who sees not the sublunary part of the World, expressed in the lower belly?
A46234Why doth the Purple Bowe Rain- water drink?
A46234Why is not the same done in a little water in a bason?
A46234and made it thirsty after blood, especially mans blood?
A46234but by what art hath she whe ● ● ed the snowt of it to make it penetrate into the skin?

A46234or must the cause be imputed to the Ocean?

A592324thly, What is all this to Science, or to our purpose?
A59232Again, since the Intention of Mankind in asking Where a Thing is?
A59232Again; is not GOD Omnipotent?
A59232And did he not evidently inferr this to be True, because all else might be doubted of?
A59232And why?
A59232And, how far must this go on?
A59232But how can this cohere?
A59232But if you ask, When was the first Olympiad?
A59232But is not the Knowledge of this Method insuperably hard to be attain''d?
A59232But now, where is that Authour who has hitherto made such an Useful and Necessary Attempt?
A59232But, how can we shew that Middle Term is really connected with those Two other Terms in the Premisses?
A59232But, what if that Middle term be not the same with its own self, but Divided within it self?
A59232But, what means then the Illative particle[ Ergo] or what sense bears it?
A59232Can any man deny but that this is the same Thing, or the same Tree it was at first?
A59232Examples of the Questions proper to Quality are such as these: How do you?
A59232For instance; To what purpose are his many Distinctions of his Propositions, especially those he calls Exponibiles?
A59232For was not all that anteceded to the finding it so many Discourses or Reasonings?
A59232How is he affected to me?
A59232How is he as to his Understanding?
A59232How is he as to his Walking, or using his Natural Faculties?
A59232How is the Milk that''s over the Fire, or the Bread in the Oven?
A59232If not, to what purpose did he pretend he might doubt of all else?
A59232Lastly, it may be ask''d, How he is as to his outward shape?
A59232Or why does Mankind use such a needless Tautology?
A59232Or, if they say there is, then to know of them in what that Evidence consists, or how it comes to be more Evident?
A59232Or, what Cause in the World but produces such Effects as are sutable to its Nature?
A59232Or, why did himself in his Third Meditation say expresly,[ Ex eo quod dubito SEQUITUR me esse?]
A59232Our Discourse here abstracts from that Question, Whether sensible Qualities are Inherent in the Object or in the 〈 ◊ 〉?
A59232The Questions of Quando, and their proper Answers, are such as these; When was Christ born?
A59232This needs no farther Proof?
A59232To show which we ask, Are all his Atomes of the same Matter?
A59232We enquire next in what consists this Modification or Affection of it call''d Density?
A59232What Tree but bears the Fruit Proper to its Kind?
A59232When did Mustapha the Turkish Emperor begin his Reign?
A59232When will there be a Leap- year?
A59232Whence we may have occasion to ask farther what is a Man?
A59232Where is England?
A59232Where is Europe?
A59232Where is Holborn?
A59232Where is London?
A59232Where is that Kings- street?
A59232Where, or in what Place, lives Dr. H.?
A59232Which Discourse may be apply''d to those who ask, How, or by what means, the Soul and Body were United or made One Thing?
A59232Why are we afraid of Sinning, but for fear of losing GOD''s Favour, and of a Friend making him become our Enemy?
A59232Why is[ Infallible] then added to[ Certainty] if it have no Different Signification from it, or do not add some degree of Certainty to it?
A59232Why then must the Senses be quite discarded as Useless Servants for Knowledge, and be branded for constant Lyers and Deceivers?
A59232Will any but a Heretick deny this?
A59232all of them being Equally in the Books?
A59232can not he do all things?
A59232or how they will explicate it?
A59232or no?
A59232that is, whether after the Composition there remains only One Actual Thing, or Many Actual Things or Entities?
A43289Again, doth not the enmity conceived betwixt the Woolf and sheep remain firmly impressed upon their pelts?
A43289And therefore, I beseech you, what impression attractive can the Saphire leave behinde it, after its remove, if not a Magnetical one?
A43289But I beseech you, what of Superstition hath the Armary Unguent?
A43289But what else, in the main, is this( I beseech you) then to deny Magnetism, without or besides Magnetism?
A43289But what in the manner of its application( I beseech you) do you stumble at?
A43289But what will you infer hereupon?
A43289But why tremble we at the name of Magick?
A43289Come on then; why dost thou call that cure Dibolical?
A43289Do not Herbs, Animals, and diseased men foreknow and presage the future mutations of times and seasons?
A43289Doe we not beleive that there was a large stock of malignant science ambuscadoed into the forbidden fruit?
A43289Doe you desire to be informed, why the blood of a Bull is toxicall and poysonous, but that of an Oxe, though brother to the Bull, safe and harmelesse?
A43289Dost thou happily maintain the Cure to be Diabolical, because it can not be clearly understood( by thee) that there is any natural reason for it?
A43289Doth not the rabies or madnesse of Dogges by this meanes transmigrate into men?
A43289First, we enquire, whether the Saphire does attract by a first, manifest quality( imagine heat) or by a formal magnetical propriety?
A43289For what individual Knowledg can w ● … have of Caesar?
A43289I beseech you, what can you discover in this of any implicite Compact, with our grand adversary Satan?
A43289I pray, what is there in this of Superstition?
A43289If Satan can move a body, without any corporeall extremity: why can not the inward man doe the same?
A43289Is not God the free and unconstrained giver of his own benefit?
A43289Of what concernment, I pray, is the ignorance, or temerity of any one to realities themselves?
A43289Or what intelligence can he hold with the spirits of those, who sacrifice the most of Veneration to his Memory?
A43289Our second enquiry is; whether the Saphire may not have generated, and emitted a virtue from it self, and imprest that virtue on the skin onely?
A43289Our third query is, whether the Saphire haply can unlock and expand the pores of the skin?
A43289Shew us your Commission; hath God elected you the Secretary of his Councel?
A43289What can I do more?
A43289What if the Compounders phansie were not fixed upon a dog; must the Unguent therefore have no virtue to cure the wound of a dog?
A43289What wonder, that no Divine hath ever scented these subtilities?
A43289What, because the thing is new, paradoxical, and above the reach of your understanding, must it therefore be Satanical also?
A43289What, do you account this also Diabolical, thus to have restored our languishing neighbor, by the Magnetism onely of the mumial blood?
A43289What, doth the devil suck and drain them?
A43289What, will you impute this effect to Satan, and make him the Fidler?
A43289Why did he not spring up, and appear many ages sooner?
A43289Will any man, think you, account these effects Diabolical; and attribute them to a covenant made with Satan?
A43289Will you again take hold of the sacred anchor of ignorance, and accuse this secret of an implicite Compact with Satan?
A43289Will you therefore, that the natural magnetism of the Armary Unguent be more plainly and amply discovered unto you?
A43289You enquire of us what can be attracted from the body of the wounded party?
A43289You perceive, how much truth you have granted to your subterfuge?
A43289and doth not he delight himself in an undeserved donation of it?
A43289and doth not this science praesuppose a phansy peculiar to it?
A43289and how any attraction can be performed by the absent Unguent?
A43289and is it not attracted to a piece of iron placed within the orb of attraction, the pole during that seduction, wholly neglected?
A43289and to declare it impious, if himself hath not so much as in a dream thought upon any one petty reason, for the support of his sentence?
A43289and whether Nature, on the single stock of its power, could not have made use of its own expulsive faculty, without the attraction of the Saphire?
A43289and why not rather the spirit of the Witch?
A43289or will you disparage and calumniate the noble alliciency of the Saphire; and also write to the Calumniator?
A43289quae clades domum gravat?
A43289what of attent and exalted Imagination?
A43289whether because it is compounded of the moss, blood, mumy, and fat of man?
A43289wretched man, whither doest thou hurry thy self by presumption?
A42815And after all this, would not any one think, you do it faithfully?
A42815And now, M. Caviller, did you ever read my Lord ● … acon, or did you not?
A42815And pray now, M. Rous, how am I obnoxious for living with M. Rous?
A42815And what have I done to deserve so foul, and odious a Character, as that of an Enemy to those Illustrious Nurseries of Knowledge?
A42815And why Ecebolius, I pray?
A42815And why must I be bound to believe Hadrianus Junius concerning the Man of Harlem, before those other Famous Writers?
A42815Are the Physicia ● … s more injur''d by my writing those things, than by my Lord Baeon''s?
A42815Are you in earnest, M. Stubbe, and is it impossible for you to Divine?
A42815Are you not acquainted with the Ecebolius that hath done, and said these things si ● … ce his Conversion, and Confirmation?
A42815Bu ● … in earnest, Is what I have done like upbraiding St. Paul?

A42815Did I ever write against THEM, Their Degrees, Habits, and L ● … arning, as Popi ● …, and A ● … tichristian?
A42815Did I so?
A42815Did ever a crackt- brain''d Noddy do any thing more ridiculous than this?
A42815Did you not perceive how every one laugh''d you to scorn for your Demonstration?
A42815Do n''t you remember the Guinny You paid me for one of your Tales, which I disprov''d after a Wager?
A42815Do n''t you think that every Man that shall read this, will look upon you as distracted?
A42815Do you mean to vent two or three gross Untruths more in this place?
A42815Do you not know the Gentleman that discours''d thus?
A42815For what have I ever said, or done that can be ground for such a C ● …?
A42815Have you been all this while disputing against wh ● … I said, and y ● … say at last, that you do not know what I m ● …?
A42815Have you given such proofs of it?
A42815Have you not demonstrated, how fit you are for Bedlam by it?
A42815Have you such Evidences to shew for your Conversion?
A42815How much less is this, than what I said?
A42815I hope your Friend told you, you were welcom; and will any swear the contrary?
A42815I pray where?
A42815I said in my Praeface, that your Head was Red hot; Is there no difference between Colour, and Degree of Heat?
A42815If I never said this, as you relate it, Pray who is the Liar then?
A42815If so, what think you of my Lord Bacon?
A42815If these Periods in my Book were th ● … oc ● … asion of the Quarrel, as you say, why was not the Quarrel begun before?
A42815Is my saying what he thought, a greater Affront to the Ancients, than his declaring to the World the same himself?
A42815Is there nought else to be learnt in the Universities, besides the niceties about 〈 ◊ 〉, and Forma, and dependent Notions?
A42815M. Stubbe, have you forsworn to speak Truth?
A42815My present Business is with your last Preface against m ● … ▪ And pray, M. Praefacer, how many Praefaces do you intend?
A42815Pray how long hath the Apostle been so much in your favour?
A42815Prith ● …, Harry, which of the Praefaces is this?
A42815That''s pity: You were there, you say; and will any one swear that you were not welcom?
A42815This I did, when there were no hopes of better Times: And how come I then to be Ecebolius?
A42815Was there now ever such a piece of Impudence as this, in quoting Authors?
A42815What Ecebolius was that, who said so?
A42815What a strict Casuist are you?
A42815What an obnoxious Falsifier are you?
A42815What do you mean to give me the advantage of so many new Arguments of your Madness, when I have abundantly too many already?
A42815What else doth Peretofore signifie?
A42815What think you, M. Casuist, May a Christian, and Divine lawfully do thus, or not?
A42815Why so, I pray you?
A42815Will it do young Gentlemon any hurt to be instructed in Morality, History, Mathematicks, and other such useful matters?
A42815and will you give your self the trouble to prove further, what ● … very one believes of you already?
A42815if Peripatetick Philosophy be useless as to Discoveries, and Inventions?
A42815or do you only write at your usual rate of impertinence?
A42815or rather, Have you afforded any Demonstration of your Repentance, besides the Repetition of your Crimes?
A52075ALthough I know, the raw, untrained Reader, upon this last Answer above the rest, will be sure to pronounce his, Quis leget haec?
A52075And how will they that assert their equality demonstrate it?
A52075And out of an heterogeneal sum, as a store- house, why can not some of the heterogeneals be subducted, the rest remaining?
A52075And since the dissolution of the Orbes, there being no Concave of the Moon, what region is designed and intended for it?
A52075And then, what greater Monster is discoverable in the doctrine of the quantitativeness of the recto- convexe angle of Contact?
A52075As first in lines which are the containing sides, how easy is it to discover such an heterogeneity?
A52075But now after what manner are we to understand this equality asserted between such right- lined and isoclitical concavo- convexe angles?
A52075But where is any such coincidency between right- line tangents and circumferences?
A52075But why is that more reasonable than to expect that all Springs should send forth waters of the same taste, colour, or virtue?
A52075But you''ll say, what is the rectitude, or curvature of the containing sides to the nature of angularity?
A52075For by what fair Argument shal the Quaternion of them be demonstrated?
A52075For what doubt can be made of subterraneous heats and fires?
A52075How oft, among prying and suspitious Women, has the state of the Womb been discovered from the colour of the Nipples, and condition of the Breasts?
A52075Now in the above recited cases, why is equality between such different angles asserted possible?
A52075So to adde together numbers, and measures, and weights?
A52075So upon expectation of the ones evacuation, the cure of the other has been ordered, and the event and time of recovery foreseen?
A52075VVhether this Controversy about the Recto- Convexe Angle of Contact, belong to Concrete or Abstract Mathematicks?
A52075What is her ● in to be judged, of Comets which are by new amassement?
A52075What kind of Homogeneity it is, that is requisite for proportionals?
A52075What mystery of reason, or force of Argument should be in this deduction?
A52075Whether Mercury by frequent transhaping it self, and often reduction loose not somwhat of its powers and virtues?
A52075Whether by frequent transhaping, and working upon Mercury, somewhat be not lost irrecoverably, beyond all possibility and hope of reduction?
A52075Whether from view of the Breasts, judgment may be made concerning the sex of an unborn conception?
A52075Whether like angles in unequal circles, and in loke segments of circles be always Equal?
A52075Whether predictions may be concerning Comets before their appearance?
A52075Whether such their Circumaxall motion afford a convictive demonstration and proof of the Copernican Systeme?
A52075You will say wherein?
A52075and by what way will they admeasure it?
A52075and subducting out of a given figure some other figure, which is quite heterogeneal to the first given figure?
A52075and what is meant by their equality?
A52075and what is more usual then the adding of heterogeneal figures one unto another?
A52075and whence, and how is the equality of them to be demonstrated?
A52075if you think you can shew as Air, and Earth and water, yet what shew can you make of Elemental fire?

A61893Whether the Grecians, disputing Ages, and Sectators of Aristotle, did know any thing of Chymistry?
A61893Who did ever tell him that there was any absolute or compleat knowledg to be acquired in this life?
A61893Why am I upbraided with the Ptolomaick Systeme; and ridiculous determinations of the cause of Magnetick Phaenomena?
A61893Why?
A61893With what justice shall we deny them the benefit of that excuse, which we make use of our selves?
A61893You add immediately after the Text, that it was intended of the Virtuosi, why so?
A61893and Whether all the INVENTIONS that he attributes to the VIRTUOSI, belong to them?
A61893and submit to that Education, unlesse it were to RISE by it?
A61893do not they separate an inutile insipid phlegme, or water also, and a Terra damnata?
A61893have not they rather added to the former indignities by that new contumely against all the Doctors and Divines in the Universities?
A61893or would they have me adde obstinacy to my other faileurs?

A61893was it, that you might prove( as you do) that Christ is our Mediator?
A61893what should any Noble man doe at Oxford or Cambridge?
A61893will it then cease to be notional, and steril in the world of Action& Businesse?
A61893— Is not this a most excellent parade, and a good account of the three moneths study of so many eminent Wits to contrive this harangue?

A09500And againe, what desolation befell all Italy, almost after that prodigious debording of waters which fell from the Alpes without any former raine?
A09500And if it be objected how contrary to their nature can they descend or fall downe, their matter being light and not ponderous?
A09500And if it be said, how can Comets have so many different courses, seeing a simple body can have no more but one motion of it selfe?

A09500But how did he this?
A09500But what reason can you render for the Seas saltnesse?
A09500But what shall we say?
A09500But whether doe they shine with their own innate or inbred light, or is their splendor borrowed from any other beside?
A09500By that meanes I see you seeme to make no difficulty of that whereof I so much doubted?

A09500Dew and Hoare- frost are not so generated, for why?
A09500First then, I aske of what matter are the heavens composed?
A09500How deepe hold you the Sea to be?
A09500How is it then that commonly after Earthquakes, Plagues, Pestilences, and death of Bestiall doe ensue?
A09500If it bee true then that the Seas are salt, wherefore are not lakes and rivers by that same reason, salt also?
A09500If people be changed from that which they were wo nt to be, Why?

A09500Now I crave to understand, what is the matter of these twinckling Starres which we see glancing in the face and front of this heaven?
A09500Now I demand, if these and the like doings of Beasts be not founded upon reason whereof we men brag as of a greater prerogative above them?
A09500Now by what power draweth the Loadstone Iron unto it?
A09500Now finally, hath the Moone no power over particular sublunary bodies?

A09500This being briefly spoken of the matter and forme of Comets, it may be asked what course they have?
A09500To say si bellum sit licitum, quidni& duellum?
A09500To the former adde this curiosity likewise: what Heaven it was which the Prophets Enoch and Elias were wrapt into?
A09500WHat shall bee said to those, who while they sweare and promise, have neverthelesse in their minde no intention at all to performe?

A09500What causeth some Fountaines to last longer than others?
A09500What have you to say concerning the cause of the flowing and ebbing of the Sea?
A09500What have you to say to this, that as there are fishes extraordinary, so I have heard of fowles without either feete or plumes?
A09500What is the cause then, seeing the Moone is alike in power over all waters, that Lakes and Rivers flow not and ebbe not as well as the Sea doth?
A09500What is the reason?
A09500What maketh them fal dovvn seeing they are light?
A09500What more remarkable one then that which appeared above Hierusalem, before its sacking and captivity?

A09500Why see we not such inflammations in the day time as in the night?
A09500Why, some Plants and Herbes ripen sooner than others?
A09500Yea, but saith my curiosist, what language shall we speake in Heaven?
A09500an idle question; what other language should we have but Hallelujuhs, hymnes, and praises to Him who sitteth upon the Throne?

A341101 Whence is it; I pray you that an oxe quakes, and is madded, and runs away at the presence of the butcher?
A341101 Why sleep most usually comes upon a man after meat?
A341102 Whence afterwards heat?
A341102 Whence is it that the body of a slain man bleeds at the presence of the murderer, and that after some dayes, or months, yea, and years?
A341102 Why carefull thoughts disturb sleep?
A341103 What it is to watch, and how it is done?
A341103 Why the feaver leaves faintnesse behind it?
A341104 Why food is hurtfull at the beginning of a feaver?
A341104 Why too much watching is hurtfull?
A341105 Why it is dangerous to expell the feaver over soon?
A341108. what need we any other interpretation?
A34110Again, it may easily be gathered from hence, why hard and oily things are durable?
A34110And Sulphur, what is it but matter mixt with fire?
A34110And what is a dream but an imagination?
A34110And what need many words?
A34110And what need words?
A34110And why should not these things be accounted as new inventions; That ternarie of principles so clearly demonstrated from Scripture, Reason, and Sense?
A34110Are not we placed as wel as they in Natures garden?
A34110But how doth he correct, but by dashing over our vain cogitation with his word?
A34110But now what mean the seven planets in heaven?
A34110But whence had these life, I pray you, but from that diffused soul of the World?
A34110Did not hee command him to behold his invisible things by these things that are seen?
A34110For all that round head, and of so great capacity, is filled up vvith brain; to what end?
A34110For did not God bring man into the School of the World, to contemplate his manifold Wisdome?
A34110For doth not a dog barking at a stranger, distinguish betwixt those whom he knowes, and strangers?
A34110For example; the vapour of water, what is it but water rarified and scattered in the air?
A34110For how could a thunder- bolt be generated in the clouds, if stony vapours did not ascend into the cloud?
A34110For if the spirit do so yet abiding in the body, why not parted from it?
A34110For then the vapours that go out, what are they but the vapours of the inward vapours, far more subtle then the vapours of water?
A34110For vvho knoweth not, that vvaters and oiles are gathered out of the vapours of Alembicks?
A34110For what ability have we to praise him?
A34110For what is become of the clot?
A34110For what means that description of Moses else?
A34110For what?
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 appeares also why they that are musculy or brawnie, are strong, but those that are thin, are weak?
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 did David boast in vain?
A34110Or the sonne of Sirach say in vain: The Word of God most High is the fountain of wisdom?
A34110Or was it in vain that Salomon call''d God, the guide unto wisdome, and the corrector of the wise?
A34110Right: But how the Maker without his work?
A34110That the animall spirit can move nothing without an Organ: For why doth no man bend his knees before?
A34110VVhy some living creatures see best in a strong light, others in an obsure light?
A34110VVhy we see nothing, if there be any thing betwixt the eye and the object?
A34110VVhy whitenesse disgregates the sight, and if it be overmuch, dissipates and corrupts it?
A34110We see it done here below: why not above also?
A34110What can be more clear?
A34110What could be the cause of it, I pray you, but that the spirit, and that locally separated, doth maintain its spirituall unity?
A34110What shall we think of the words of the all- wise God?
A34110What the Echo is?
A34110Whence it is understood why springs yield fresh water, though they come from those bitter, and salt waters of the sea?
A34110Whence this Probleme may be profitably noted, why the East wind dries, but the West moistens?
A34110Who hath placed the whole World?
A34110Who sees not here that the spirits are the formers of plants?
A34110Why a sound penetrates obliquely also?
A34110Why a sound spread round about, failes by little and little?
A34110Why do we not slip our wits out of those snares?
A34110Why do we not, I say, turn over the living book of the world instead of dead papers?
A34110Why doth no man move his ear?
A34110Why not that admirable scale of substances, by a septenarie gradation?
A34110Why only things that are coloured are seen?
A34110Why should we learn the works of nature of any other Master, rather then of these?
A34110Why the eye placed in the shade or in the dark sees the stronger?
A34110Why then do we not cast about our eyes, nosthrils and ears as well as they?
A34110Why those things that are to be seen must of necessity be enlightned?
A34110Why when one hears all hear the same?
A34110Yet who knows not, that there are for the most part more ends of one thing?
A34110and by what means it is kindled, kept alive, and extinguished?
A34110and it is certain that stones exposed to the air for some ages,( as in high towers) grow porous: how, but by evaporation?
A34110and other things which we meet with throughout all nature?
A34110and what is the melting of metals, but a kind of vaporation?
A34110and what need many words?
A34110for what is dust, but earth reduced into Atomes?
A34110for why doth it delight in flame, but that it is of a like nature?
A34110if you lay an apple or an egge into the fire, doth not the rarified humour break forth with a blast?
A34110if you presse it when it is drawn into the bellows, doth it not breath through the pipe?
A34110is it not because he smels the garments, the hand, the very breath of the butcher stained with the bloud and spirit of cattle of his own kind?
A34110or else after wearinesse, when the members being chafed do exhale vapours?
A34110smoak, what is it, but an exhalation of wood or other matter resolved?
A34110that so we may finde out that harmony of truth, which is in things, and in the mouth of the Author of things?
A34110the air it self, what is it but a most small comminution of drops of water, and unperceiveable by sense?
A34110the seven combinations of tangible qualities?
A34110the seven differences of taste?
A34110the seven kinds of meteors, seven kinds of metalls, seven kinds of stones,& c?
A34110the seven tones in musick?
A34110the seven vitall members in man?
A34110vvho seeth not also, that smoak in a chimney turns into soot, that is black dust?
A34110what are the seven weeks betwixt the Passeover and Pentecost?
A34110what do all these portend I say, but that it is, the expresse Image of that God whose seven eyes passe through the whole earth?
A34110what is vapour, but water resolved into more subtile parts?
A34110what mean the seven continents on earth?
A34110what the seven times seventh of Jubilee?
A34110what the seventh year of rest?
A34110when he calls it earth, waters, the deep, darkness, a thing void, and without form?
A34110who sees not that the spirit of a minerall or a plant is really preserved in the forme of a little water, oile, or poulder?
A34110who sees not that they inhere so fast in their matter, that they can as it were raise it again after it is dead?
A34110why do we not throw away those spectacles which present us with fancies instead of things?
A34110why not also from tango, tangor?
A34110yea that soot gets into the wals of chimneys, and turnes into a stony hardnesse?
A34110yea, and in the Scripture the number of seven is every where very much celebrated, and sacred: For what do the seven dayes of the week point at?
A42823All the famous Doctors named excepting one or two, are Prattle- boxes and Ignoramus''s; who can scape the lash of such a Tongue?
A42823An tamen unquam disputabitur, ut me Iuvene a ● xiè disputatum est Oxonii, nempe, An Aristoteles plus debuerit Naturae, an Natura Aristoteli?
A42823And are we not to believe that this Anointed Rumper is a Zealot for the Interest of the present Monarchy?
A42823And might not such an Apology be made for Fau ●, Ravi ● ● a ●, and the Stubbe''s that were hanged for treason in former Reigns?
A42823And now how doth it appear hence that M. Boyle is in the same errour about the Deceitfulness of Telescopes, with M. Cross?
A42823And now what can any one think that reads these passages, but that M. Stubbe is over- heated in his head?
A42823And now what can such a mans pretended Learning signifie?
A42823And what should the man do, while the Fit of Laughter was upon him?
A42823And what then?
A42823And whether they have any in those Countries, or any constant peculiar Habits in their Vniversities?
A42823And who ever heard of such things as Errata of the Press?
A42823And will he not despise the silly easiness of those, that shall accept of his Apology?
A42823Are not these worshipful Enquiries, and much beyond those of the Virtuosi?
A42823Are not these, Sir, strong Arguments, and is not Aristotle well defended?
A42823BUT what doth he think of Aristotle, who M. Cross tells us in his Book, was Artium Partiumque Uir, Fundator Artium, Maximus Hominum?
A42823But I ask again, what Air, good M. Stubb did Aristotle weigh?
A42823But how did Aristotle make that evident?
A42823But if every Bookseller knew them to be true, what becomes of his Friend M. Stubb?
A42823But was he in the most superlative account then?
A42823But what a serious impertinent is this?
A42823But what must become of all the Peripateticks that held not the Air to be ponderous?
A42823But what need of so much Triumph, and such Preparations for it, if this Adversary were so ridiculous?
A42823But what?
A42823But who can tell what M. Stubb thinks of God?
A42823But why should he be so much concerned about this sort of Usurpers?
A42823But why should he expect that?
A42823But will he say, There is no ground for my Affirmation that Chymistry hath a Pretence to Hermes for its Author?
A42823By the way, what sense is this ● The Reverence of their Detestableness?
A42823Can any matter of Faith be built upon the Strength of a Criticism?
A42823Can we desire greater proof of M. Stubbe''s hypocrisie and disloyal inclination, than he gives in this Preface?
A42823Certainly, he hath dealt with some Spirit; or with his Familiar M. Cross, for this; How else should he know what Authors I have seen?
A42823Could not the Black Executioner of the blessed K. Charles the Martyr, have justified his accursed Parricide by the same Apology?
A42823Could the favours of any particular Benefactor null his obligations to his SOVEREIGN, his RELIGION, his COUNTRY?
A42823Did ever confidence flout a Government so, when it pretended to plead its Cause?
A42823Did not the Protestant Martyrs so disturb the Popish Priests, as the present Ministers are disturbed?
A42823Do I speak of the Methods of Physick, Chirurgery, or any practical Art?
A42823Doth M. Stubb intend this for a Defence, or doth he not?
A42823Doth M. Stubb seriously think this, or doth he not?
A42823Doth he not know there were such Persons as Maximus Planudes, Alhazen, and Orontius?
A42823Doth not this tend to the re- advancing the Credit of Aristotle?
A42823For can he think in earnest that either I, or any body else ever believed or said, That None of the Antients could cure a cut Finger?
A42823For is there no Difference, doth he think, between not being of superlative Account, and being in Disesteem?
A42823For, what a Conquerour is He in Title- Pages and Prefaces?
A42823He doth not say so, for that had been to his purpose: or were those times when his Esteem was superlative, the wisest?
A42823He proceeds to prove that Aristotle was in Esteem in wise Times; and what then?
A42823Here is one that writ against Aristotle, what Impudence and Folly will he stick at that writ against Aristotle?
A42823How came this to ramble into the mans head?
A42823How did his anointed ones, those pretious People of the Cause, hug him for this goodly Language?
A42823How doth this Scribbler confute his own Dreams?
A42823How doth this prove that my solution of M. Crosses Fallacy by the two Pens is ridiculous?
A42823How easie is it to pile up Authors against any Writer, if a man may take this Liberty of making him say what he pleaseth?
A42823How easily can M. Stubb prove a man guilty of Ignorance?
A42823How fit a man is this to undertake the Vindication of M. Cross?
A42823How fit is he to be a visitour of Bishops?
A42823How little ado will serve to wipe off the foulest guilt from M. Stubbe?
A42823I think I have generosity enough, or at least I desire so much, as to be content to be so sacrificed upon such an Occasion: But will that do it?
A42823If not, what makes it here?
A42823If so, I hope he will excuse it from the so often objected Guilt of Scepticism?
A42823Is it sure that he thought those Glasses fallacious, because he could not see the Maculae and Faculae in the Sun, when they were not there?
A42823Is there no Credit to be given to the Testimony of learned men?
A42823L. D. Whether the Knowledge of Tongues leads us to one Sense of Scripture or many?
A42823Let us remember this, and observe how he goes on: M. Glanvill neither understands what he opposeth, nor what he asserts; But why so I pray?
A42823May not one write an History of Things and Actions that he never saw?
A42823Might not the most hellish villanies be excused this way?
A42823Nay, whether they do not rather exceed them in Pomp, as well as Number?
A42823Or should he speak against all Humane Learning and Heathenish Writers, as the same Author, would there not be as much of Fanaticism in such talk?
A42823Reading the Fathers and Schoolmen, p. 13. and yet be ignorant of that, which is almost the Unum Necessarium in his Function?
A42823That Book was indeed Dedicated to the Society, but I was not then a Member of it: And are Patrons of Books responsible for their imperfections?
A42823That he was sure M. Boyle is in the same errour with M. Cross?
A42823The Form of the Argument is not to be excepted against: And pray M. Impertinent, who talk''d of the Form of the Argument, or excepted against it?
A42823The ground of all is,[ He served a Patron:] and doth this justifie him acco ● ding to the rules of his Casuistical Divinity?
A42823They wandred about 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉 〈 ◊ 〉, in Sheep- skins?
A42823Thus the Defence begins, and is not M. Cross like to be rescued?
A42823To what purpose else doth the Animadverter speak of him as a contemptible Geometrician?
A42823Uane, and the Quakers?
A42823Was ever Villany so impudent when it sought pardon?
A42823What a man is this that dares bely so Reverend a Person in the face of the World?
A42823What a rare Defender of Aristotle is this?
A42823What an Author doth he make me, or what a Reasoner doth he make himself?
A42823What did this pious Vindicatour of the Church of England and Religion in that unhappy season?
A42823What distant things ramble together into this mans wild Phansie?
A42823What means this Man of Renown to choose out such despicable Adversaries?
A42823What pity''t is now that Aristotle should be a Geometrician?
A42823What poor, easie fools doth he suppose his Readers, when he endeavours to reconcile himself to their good opinion by such silly and such vile excuses?
A42823What would a man give to be informed, Whether Aristotle owes more to Nature, or Nature( which indeed is God) to him?
A42823Whether Antient Times,( and those not very antient neither) record any more than that of Bologna, Paris, and Salamanca?
A42823Whether Christianity it self be not termed Heresie in Scripture?
A42823Whether School- Divinity be not a novel thing, slighted and condemned by Learned and Godly men in all Ages since it was first introduced?
A42823Whether Tertullian do not frequently call the Christians a Sect?
A42823Whether all such dealings lead us not to put our Trust in Man?
A42823Whether any of the Ceremonies and Habits now used in the Vniversities had a very good Original, or have been imployed to a good Vse since?
A42823Whether it be a peculiar Practice of our modern Anabaptists and Quakers, that they will not swear, no, not before a Magistrate?
A42823Whether it be not a very great Abuse put upon the Independents, to say that they or their Tenents came from Amsterdam?
A42823Whether it were not an Act of Superstition in former times to build Churches and Chappels in the Form or Fashion of a Cross?
A42823Whether it were not the Design of the Reformers in King Edward the sixth''s days to put down Universities?
A42823Whether such a Sense of the Word Ecclesia, or Church doth not unchurch all the Parochial Churches in England, and unminister all their Ministers?
A42823Whether the Arguments of the first ● Reformers about their Vocation do not justifie any, that shall take upon them to preach?

A42823With what ease doth he get Victories?
A42823Would not any one from these Words, and their Relation to those that go before, conclude that I had reckoned Orontius among the Improvers of Geometry?
A42823and have not most of the Historians that ever were, done thus?
A42823and how easily can he translate it upon the clearest innocence?
A42823and that when the Laws were against them?
A42823and what am I to expect from him; if one, of whom he pretends to speak well, be thus used?
A42823and whether Christianity at that time were not of farther Extent, than the Kingdoms those stood in?
A42823and whether Luther did not place in stead thereof in his Creed the Christian Church?

A42823— Whether, if to preach publickly be to teach, as it is now practis''d, the Apostles did ever teach publickly?
A359872 What then can we imagine, but that the very nature of a thing apprehended, is truly in the man, who doth apprehend it?
A359873 Which is; whether there would be any naturall motion deepe in the earth, beyond the actiuity of the sunnes beames?
A35987Ad imitationem summi, post Apostolorum tempora, ingenio& doctrinâ Theologi, exclamare libet: Quale tibi fabricatus es cubile in mente mea Domine?
A35987Alas, how fondly doth mankinde suffer it selfe to be deluded?
A35987An other question, 5 is that great one; why a loadestone capped with steele, taketh vp more iron then it would do if it were without that capping?
A35987And as soone as it meeteth with the cold ayre in its eruption, will it not be stopped and thickned?
A35987And by what artifice, bodies are thus spiritualized?
A35987And can all this be any thing else but a roote?
A35987And how came they by it?
A35987And how can two such different natures euer meete porportionably?
A35987And how do they reuiue in the fantasie, 1 the same motions by which they came in thither at the first?
A35987And if he did, whether he did not find the quantity greater, then before that salt was dissolued in it?
A35987And if the steame of burned milke cā hurt by carrying fire to the dugge; why should not salt cast vpon it, be a preseruatiue against it?
A35987And if there be no such motion there, what should occasion him, to prosecute or auoyd that obiect?
A35987And if this later way; which part first?
A35987And is not each of them as really distinguished from any other?
A35987And new partes flocking still from the roote, must they not clogge that issue, and grow into a button, which will be a budd?
A35987And that man, by apprehending, doth become the thing apprehended; not by change of his nature vnto it, but by assumption of it vnto his?
A35987And that to apprehend ought, is to haue the nature of that thing within ones selfe?
A35987And then if you enquire how it cometh to passe, that one white is like an other?
A35987And what griefe, what discontent, what misery, can be like the others?
A35987And who knoweth but that a like sucking to this which we haue shewed in magnetike thinges, passeth also in the motion of grauity?
A35987Are not these partes then actually and really in a mans body?
A35987As if you aske them, how a wall is white, or blacke?
A35987BVt how are these thinges conserued in the braine?
A35987Besides, to be tenne, doth expressely imply to be not one: how then can that be a materiall thing, which by being one representeth many?
A35987But how can these thinges stand together?
A35987But how may wee estimate the iust proportion they haue to one on other?
A35987But how much is this indifferent knowledge, that for this purpose is required in this world?
A35987But in what manner, and by what meanes, doth it beginne there?
A35987But is it like to any one of the thinges, or is it like to all the tenne?
A35987But is there any sense quicker then the sight?
A35987But whither art thou flowne, my soule?
A35987But you will insist, and aske, whether in that posture the hart doth moue or no, and how?
A35987Can any dull obliuion deface this so liuely and so beautifull image?
A35987Can these germes choose but pierce the earth in small stringes, as they are able to make their way?
A35987Can we imagine, she would allow him so much laysie time, to effect nothing in?
A35987Doctor Gilbert seemeth also to haue an other controuersy with all writers; to witt whether any bodies besides magneticall ones, be attractiue?
A35987Doth not all tend, to make him seeme and appeare that which indeed he is not?

A35987Fish, of hernes?
A35987For first, how could he attribute diuers sortes of vacuites to water, without giuing it diuers figures?
A35987For how can a straw or feather be imagined possibly to fly with halfe the violence as a bullett of lead doth out of one of those engines?
A35987For how can partes be fitted to an indiuisible thing?
A35987For if any partes be actually distinguished, why should not all be so?
A35987For setting knowledge aside, what can it auayle a man to be able to talke of any thing?
A35987For what are wordes, but motion?
A35987For what can be more direct to that effect, then to hide themselues in hedge bottomes, or in woods?
A35987For what difference can theire being infinite, bring to them, of such force as to destroy theire essence and property?
A35987For what reason were there, that thou shouldest be implanted in a soyle, which can not beare thy fruite?
A35987Fourthly; what should hinder the bloud from coming in, before the hart be quite empty and shrunke to its lowest pitch?
A35987Hast thou not already payed too deare, for thy knowing more then thy share?
A35987How could froggs be ingendred in the ayre?
A35987How could ratts come to fill shippes, into which neuer any were brought?
A35987How is it possible, that the same thing, can be, and not be in the same notion?
A35987How long this staffe is?
A35987How miserably foolish are those conquering tyrants, that diuide the world with their lawlesse swords?
A35987How shall the place, or the time passed, be remoued, and be putt in an other place, and in an other time?
A35987How shall the same thing, be corporeally in two, nay in two thousand places, at the same time?
A35987How should I stampe a figure of thy immense greatnesse, into my materiall imagination?
A35987How should a bone, here be hollow, there be blady, and in an other part take the forme of a ribbe, and those many figures which we see of bones?
A35987How should the nature of flesh, here become broad, there round, and take iust the figure of the part it is to couer?
A35987How then can a soules iudgements, be the cause of her misery?
A35987How true it is, that the only thing necessary, proueth the only thing that is neglected?
A35987How vehement then must the actiuity and energy be, wherewith so puissant a substance shooteth it selfe to its desired obiect?
A35987How would the continuall driuing it into a thinner substance, as it streameth in a perpetuall flood from the flame, seeme to play vpon the paper?
A35987If then it be pressed; how can substance( in reality or in thinges) be accommodated vnto Quantity, seing that of it selfe it is indiuisible?
A35987If then sense can not determine any one part, how shall it see that it is distinguished from all other partes?
A35987If you aske me how this cometh to passe?
A35987If you continue to aske, how doth whitenesse sticke to the wall?
A35987Indeed, how can it be otherwise?
A35987May it not then be my sad chance, to be one of their vnhappy number?
A35987Or can any length of time, draw in thy memory a veyle betweene it, and thy present attention?
A35987Or can they see light, or any thing else; vntill it be with them?
A35987Or can wee suspect, that she intended him no further aduantage, then what an abortiue child arriueth vnto in his mothers wombe?
A35987Or hast thou not heard, that who will prye into maiesty, shall be oppressed by the glory of it?
A35987Or rather, why should not salt hinder the fire from being carryed thither?
A35987Or that the cornes vpon our toes, or calluses, or broken bones, or ioyntes that haue beene dislocated, haue discourse, and can foretell the weather?
A35987Or that the partes of it be more solide then the partes of the stone?
A35987Or to paint a halfe, or a cause, or an effect?
A35987Or to swimme ouer a riuer, when that is the most immediate way to runne from the dogges?
A35987Or what inconuenience would follow, if it be admitted?
A35987Or what is it more to her then if a straw were wagged at the Antipodes?
A35987Or when it leaueth our horizon to light the other world?
A35987Quale tibi sanctuarium aedificasti?
A35987Quid ego nunc styli nitorem,& vbertatem depraedicem?
A35987Scientiarum omnium vnica in dissertatione breuiarium& anacephaloeosim?
A35987Secondly; I would aske him; if he measured his water after euery salting?
A35987Seeing that in materiall thinges, one and many are opposite, and exclude one an other from the same subiect?
A35987Suppose that halfe an houre, were resumed into one instant or indiuisible of time: what a strange kind of durance would that be?
A35987Take a beane, or any other seede, and putt it into the earth, and lett water fall vpon it; can it then choose but that the beane must swell?
A35987That indiuisibly I shall possesse a tenure beyond all possible time?
A35987The beane swelling, can it choose but breake the skinne?
A35987The next question is, why a loadestone seemeth to loue iron better then it doth an other loadestone?
A35987The skinne broken can it choose( by reason of the heate that is in it) but push out more matter, and do that action which we may call germinating?
A35987The thinges( indeed) that are so, haue their resemblances and pictures; but which way should a painter go about to draw a likenesse?
A35987To his second argument, we aske how he knoweth that yce quantity for quantity, is lighter then water?
A35987To what purpose Aristotles and Archimedeses?
A35987To what purpose are all these millions of toilesome auntes, that liue and labour about me?
A35987To what purpose were Cesars and Alexanders?
A35987Toades of duckes?
A35987What a difforme nette with a strāge variety of mashes would this be?
A35987What a prodigious thing then must it be, to haue an instant equalise halfe an houre?
A35987What are those wranglinges, where the discouery of truth is neyther sought, nor hoped for, but meerely vanity and ostentation?
A35987What colour that mans clothes are of?
A35987What gaines could they promise themselues, to counteruaile their desperate attempts?
A35987What is it then that maketh it be one?
A35987What is likenesse, but an imperfect vnity betweene a thing, and that which it is said to be like vnto?
A35987What is required at thy hands( my soule) like this?
A35987What motiues, what hopes had these daring men?
A35987What prerogatiue haue some that the others haue not?
A35987What proportion is there, in the common estimation of affaires, betweene that triuiall summe, and fifty millions?
A35987What sense should we employ in this discouery?
A35987What should moue a lambe to tremble at the first sight of a wolfe?
A35987What sight is sharpe enough to penetrate into the mysterious essence, sprouting into different persons?
A35987What strange thing then, is this admirable multiplication of existence?
A35987What will this be, when fleeting time shall be conuerted into permanent eternity?
A35987When we say water, fire, gold, siluer, bread& c: do we meane or expresse any determinate figure?
A35987Whether the motion of weighty and light thinges, and of such as are forced, be not by him, as well as by vs, atttibuted to externe causes?
A35987Whither then is it flowne?
A35987Who can strengthen our eyes to endure eaglewise this glorious and resplendent sunne?
A35987Who is their guide in these obscure pathes?
A35987Who knoweth the contrary?
A35987Why dost thou not breake the walles and chaynes of thy flesh and bloud, and leape into this glorious liberty?
A35987and againe, shrinke backe into so litle roome, as when it returneth into water, or is contracted into yce?
A35987and neuerthelesse possibly, not withstanding my possession, I may be bereft of what I enioy?
A35987and when it enioyeth it, how violent must the extasy and transport be, wherewith it is delighted?
A35987answered breadibus; and for beere?
A35987how long wilt thou be inquisitiue and curious to thine owne perill?
A35987or a henne, at a kite neuer before seene?
A35987or how may I be able to comprehend it?
A35987or meanes to know speedier then by our eyes?
A35987or whether it be not?
A35987to what a dazeling height art thou mounted?
A35987who can diue into this abisse?
A35987who can reade this riddle?
A35987who can shoote light into this infinite pitte of darkenesse?

A32712( 1) Why an Object appears not only greater in dimensions, but more distinct in parts, when lookt upon near at hand; than afarr off?

A32712144 19 The Translation of a moveable from place to place, in an indivisible point of time, impossible: and why?
A327127 A subordinate scruple, why most bodies are moved through the Aer ▪ with so little resistence, as is imperceptible by sense?
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 is not that the Centre of the Earth?
A32712And we Demand, whether by that Individual He means minimum mathematicum, or Physicum?
A32712And, to your Quaestion, Whether a thing be no ● in a place, when it passeth through a place?
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?)
A32712Besides, is not that Sweetness, which the tongue perceives in Hony; manifestly different from that of Milk?
A32712Cur Chordae facili ● ● s circa Ex ● rema, quam circa Medium frangantur, cum vi vel pondere, sive horizontaliter, sive verticaliter trahuntur?
A32712Direct, and Reflex?
A32712Doe not we frequently observe, that Ravens will scent a Carcass, at m ● ny miles distance; and fly directly to it by the Chart of a favourable wind?
A32712Finally, is that the Cause, which only removes the Impediment to a Heavy bodies Descent?
A32712Fire?
A32712For, can it be admitted, that the sound mo ● ty, when it shall have undergone Corruption, doth consist of other Particles then before?
A32712For, what difference is there, whether we say, that such a thing is Occult; or that we know nothing of it?
A32712For, what doth cause the Odoratory Nerves of man to discriminate a Rose from Wormwood?
A32712For, when it is questioned( 1) How a body can persist invariately in the same place, though the circumambient be frequently, nay infinitely varied?
A32712Here most opportunely occurs to our Consideration that notorious PROBLEM, Quomodo objecti distantia deprehendatur ab oculo?
A32712Hominis) Quo pacto, cùm unum existat, generabit aliquid, nisi cùm aliquo misceatur?
A32712How be really ampliated, contracted, deflected, inverted,& c. All which are properly and solely Congruent to Bodies or Entities consisting of Matter?
A32712How the Distance of the Object from the eye is perceived in the act of Vision?
A32712How the SITUATION of an object is perceived by the sight?
A32712How, saith the offended Peripatetick, the meerly Petitionary opinion of Aristotle?
A32712IF Time be, as our Description imports, Non- principiate and Infinite: how can we Discriminate it from Aeternity?
A32712If so; how many hours would run by, after the Suns Emergency out of an Eclipse, before the light of it would arrive at our eye?
A32712If so; must not that Distance import a Longitude, or more expresly an incorporeal and invisible Line?
A32712If the Visible Species of Objects be, as they define; meer Accidents, i. e. immaterial: we Demand( 1) What doth Creat them?
A32712If the second; then the doubt is to be stated thus: An detur vacuum intra mundanum Coacervatum?

A32712Lastly, Why doth the Eye abhor and turne from Ugly and Odious Objects?
A32712Now, for a joint redargution of all, we demand, how they can divide a Line consisting of 5 insectiles into two equal segments?
A32712Now, if we respect the First consideration or acception of a Vacuum, the Quaestion must be, An detur vacuum Disseminatum?
A32712On the other side, is the Amaritude of Aloes, Coloquyntida, Rhubarb, Wormwood,& c. one and the same?
A32712Ought we, therefore, to account that Faculty of an Odour, which is in an Apple, either Single, or Multiplex?
A32712Qua subtilitate pennas adnexuit, praelongavit pedum crura, disposuit jejunam caveam, uti alvum, avidam sanguinis,& potissimum humani sitim accendit?

A32712Sed ubi visum in ea praetendit?
A32712Telum verò perfodiendo tergori, quo spiculavit ingenio?
A32712That no man can see( distinctly) but with one eye at once?
A32712The Fourth, is that Vulgar Quaere, Why boyling Oyle doth scald more dangerously, than boyling Water?
A32712The Third Problem is, Why the Heat of Lime, kindled by Water is more intense than that of any Flame whatever?
A32712The Translation of a moveable from place to place, in an indivisible p ● int of time, impossible: and why?
A32712The necessity of which concession, Thales Milesius well intimated, when interrogated, What Thing was greatest?
A32712The suddain invasion of the Cock, by encreased Cold soon after midnight?

A32712What makes a Dog, by the meer sagacity of his nose, find out his Master, in the dark, in a whole host of men?
A32712What then, must that External Principle be, as Aristotle contends, the very Generant of the thing moved?
A32712What then; shall we conclude Antithetically, and conceive that the Globe of the Earth is therefore Essentially rather Hot, than Cold?
A32712What then; shall we hence conclude, that Water is Essentially Hot?
A32712What then?
A32712What therefore will you say, if this could not come to pass, without the concurrence of the Aer?
A32712When a Nettle is objected to a mans Hand, why doth He withdraw it from the same?
A32712Wherein therefore can we acquiesce?
A32712Whether it be convenient to transfer Geometrical Demonstrations to Physical or sensible Quantity?
A32712Whether may a Sound be created in a Vacuum, if any such be in Nature?
A32712Whether or no in Corruption there be a Resolution even to the First matter?
A32712Whether the Quantity of a Body is Augmented in Rarifaction, and Diminished in Condensation, or no?
A32712Why Cocks can not endure the breath of Garlick; which is soveraign incense to Turkeys, and pure Alchermes to their drooping yong ones?
A32712Why Moths are destroyed by the fume of Hopps; which is Ambre Grise to Bees, as Mouffet( de insectis)?
A32712Why a Cat so much dislikes the smell of Rue, that she will avoid a Mouse that is rubbd with the juice thereof; as Africanus( in Geoponicis)?
A32712Why a flexile body, such as a Bowe of wood, Steel, Whalebone,& c. doth, after flexion, spring back again into its natural figure and situation?
A32712Why doth Cold Water, in its effusion from a Vessel, make a more full and acute noise, than Hot or Warm?

A32712Why is a Dissonance more easily discovered by the ear, in a Barytonous, or Base Voyce, or Tone, than in an Oxytonous or Treble?

A43008''T is true, Fowl are called Fowl of the ayr, but what of that?
A4300839. whether a temperament be a fifth quality, or rather a Concord or Harmony of the four Elements?
A43008Again, it is not an imaginary body, for you say it is an unknown body, How can you then imagine it?
A43008All grant quantity to have a terminus a quo and ad quem; and what can these termini be else, but a minimo ad maximum?
A43008And do we not know that our actions are good or evil, from knowing them to have some likeness to his Actions, or to be altogether different from them?
A43008And is it not therefore unworthy of a Philosopher to be a slave to their Dictates?
A43008And is not this a pretty stratagem of the Devils?
A43008And is this then a happinesse to be a hog?
A43008And so what is a young Plant but its seed protruded into all dimensions?
A43008And what are the fruits and effects of it?
A43008And what doth that hinder?
A43008And what saith Hermes in his Pimand?
A43008And when flames, why do they cause a disruption of the air in a Thunder?
A43008And where is this Center?
A43008And wherein do the Attributes united move the understanding, but by their being and Essence?
A43008And wherein is it then different from an Accident?
A43008Are heat and moisture sole agents without coldness or dryness, or are fire and water sufficient principles for actuating life?
A43008Are not coldness and dryness as much necessary per se for life, as heat and moisture?
A43008Are not the Poles of the Heavens immoveable, of the least efficacy?
A43008Are not those parts of the Firmament alwaies discerned to be clearest, and most freed from obscure bodies?
A43008Are we now so much astonisht at the formation of the body, what may we then be at the soul, by far exceeding the body?
A43008Art thou not blinded to fight with such associates?
A43008Besides, take away unity, truth, substance, quantity and the remaining Modes from a being, what can any man imagine to be the Overplus?
A43008Besides, what is quantity without form?
A43008But again, how can it be a single essence since it is divisible, and therefore consisteth of a quantitative extension, and is a totum integrale?
A43008But again, if it be not cognoscible, how do you know it then to be a thing?
A43008But answer me, whereby will you know, what hath much matter in a little place or dimension, and what hath little matter in a great place?
A43008But for what reason?
A43008But how did he know a Chesnut to be coloured in the middle?
A43008But how is a natural body capable of compressing an extrinsick body?
A43008But how may you enquire?
A43008But how much the more these small tender bodies?
A43008But how preposterous and rash is it for men to slip over this part, and to cast themselves without a bottom into the very depth of divine Theology?
A43008But how should it attract; by its Volatick Spirits possibly?
A43008But how?
A43008But imagine it was so, why should not the said tumefaction rather incline the sea westward, than further eastward?
A43008But is this the great advancement of Learning and Philosophy, which our Age doth so much boast of?
A43008But now supposing the air to have accomplisht its aime, let us inquire what motion it would then exercise?
A43008But pray who ever knew ● ed Chalck or Oket to be eccoprotick or diuretick?
A43008But suppose I granted that modal or objective Beings had their places here per accidens, to what Science are they then referred per se?
A43008But suppose an Antiperistasis or intension of qualities without the condensation of their substances were granted, how do fiery Meteors become flames?
A43008But then again why so?

A43008Do not air and fire erupt out of the water in a round bubble?
A43008Do we not know our selves in knowing God?
A43008Do we not observe the air to press by the spurring of fire through glasses of the greatest thickness?
A43008Do you not think that the Devil gives a little touch here to, to set off this melody?
A43008Doth a Lump of earth contain more matter then a tract of ayr of the same proportion?
A43008Doth earth( that is in particles) ever move Locally out of its place?
A43008Doth fire attract water, or earth air?
A43008Doth he make any thing more plain, or doth he thereby escape all falsities?
A43008Doth it not attract, retain, concoct and expel in the same manner as a Plant?
A43008Doth it not dissolve the coagulated exhalations of the earth, that are so tenacious?
A43008Doth not Mercury move directly to its own center, although it be never so many times divided?
A43008Doth not a cloud, which must be supposed to be of a firmer consistency than those particles, make choice of a new shape every moment?

A43008Doth not the fire in a Torch cast its light circularly from its Center?
A43008Doth not the fire work through the smallest pores?
A43008Doth not the thick smoak of Coales, of Gunpowder, of Boyling water, in fine of all things in the World turn themselves round in the open air?
A43008Doth noth a flame in a candle strive to maintain its center?
A43008Ergo, you speak more then you know: If so, wherein is it distinguisht from a Chimaera?

A43008Further, What heat is there under the Earth?

A43008Hath he not created Angels, men, the world, and all things therein contained?
A43008He moveth a Question, Whether the soul of a whelp is a part of the soul of the dog that begot him: And why not?
A43008Here again he addes a Note of distinction to his Archeus, which is to be per quod, and is not this also an inseparable Attribute of a Form?
A43008Here may be demanded, How doth the holy Spirit then manifest it self to any, since all men are sinners, and all sinners are evil?
A43008Here we may answer fundamentally to that so frequently ventilated doubt, whether life may be prolonged to an eval duration?
A43008Here you may enquire, How one may know that God will be sought by prayer?
A43008Here you must take terminus for forma: for what is it, that doth terminate the matter, but the form?
A43008How can a being be produced, and yet the first matter be remaining?
A43008How can an objective Concept imply a Negative?
A43008How can it, since its spirits are fixed, and do never reach the Brain?
A43008How can this be?
A43008How could the body be evil before the advent of the soul?
A43008How doth the Devil perfume womens looks to enchant mens nostrils?
A43008How doth the Devil then ride him?
A43008How full of Anguish, fear, jealousle, and uncertainties were their souls through their not knowing the true God?
A43008How is Glass made?
A43008How is it possible, that so little innate heat, as is contained within a Dram or two of Sperm should be sufficient to heat the body of a big man?

A43008How then can Materiaprima be said the first subject of every thing?
A43008How then can she be thought to conceive apt matter for such a vital substance?
A43008How then can the above- given Definition stand good?
A43008How then?
A43008However its intended signification was Something, which in English seems to be composed out of one and thing?
A43008I answer affirmatively, What should hinder the Tact from feeling, supposing the object to be applyed to the sensory?
A43008I ask you again, whether there is not fire contained in Aqua fortis?
A43008I confirm the Minor: what, can a body be said to expel it self?
A43008I confirm the Minor; had there never been any moysture, who could ever have thought of dryness?
A43008I grant it, and what is this else but a Deluge?
A43008I not the light of a Candle or Touch much larger than its flame?
A43008I prove it; Is not the shadow of a man standing in the Sun cylindrical to some extent?
A43008I take them in this last Acception, and demand, whether it is not the ayr, which causes that situation and distance of parts?
A43008I take your Answer, but what kind of rest do you mean?
A43008I. VVHether Air be weighty?
A43008I. VVHy doth water cast upon unquencht chalk or lime become boyling?
A43008I. VVHy is red hot Iron rendered harder by being quencht in cold water?
A43008Ice and many bodies generated thereon, as stones,& c. are mixt bodies, and is it the heat of the Sun that doth effect these?
A43008If he implies the last, where then consists the difference between Density and Rarity?
A43008If the broyling Sun be the efficient, whence is it then that some Lakes and Fountains are very salt, where the Sun doth not cast its aduring beams?
A43008If the first, then it is by the entring of another body between the parts that are separated, and what body is that but fire?
A43008If there is any such single matter, how do you know it?
A43008If there were not universal real beings, how could we apprehend universal objective beings?
A43008If you take up a handful of Sand from the ground, doth it not compress your hand downwards?
A43008In a word, Homine semidocto quid iniquius?
A43008In answer to this, I demand, what they mean by nature?
A43008In the same manner, why should an Ens in potentia be accounted to be more real then Aristotle actually and really existing without the world?
A43008In what perplexity did Aristotle die?
A43008Is it a rest from local Motion, or a rest from Alteration, or Augmentation?
A43008Is it not rather a grand piece of impudence to propose such absurdities, and much more to give credit to them?
A43008Is it not then a man''s greatest concernment to bestir himself in this need and defect for a means of restoration?
A43008Is not God the Pattern of our Actions?
A43008Is not a Line also made through union of points in the same manner?
A43008Is not the heat more apt to conveigh vapours, that do so narrowly enclose it, then earth, which of it self permits free egress to fire?
A43008Is not the same Candle apt to overcast an Object much bigger than it self with light that shall exceed its mediety?
A43008Is not this Archeus an effect also of its preceding cause?
A43008Is not time composed out of instants united, and motion out of( ex impetibus) spurts joyned to one another?
A43008Is then fire predominating through its Access of Parts over the other constituting Elements really distinct from it self, because it is greater?
A43008Is there any more difference between a Seed and its germined body, then between an Infant and a man?
A43008Is there any substance or new quality advened to it, and essentially joyned to its Minims?
A43008It is not a Substance or Accident( saith he) but neither, in the manner of Light, Fire,& c. How?
A43008It is not in Heaven, nor beyond the Seas, that thou shouldest say, who shall go up for us to Heaven, and bring it to us?
A43008It is proper for us to know what honour is; for how could we else acquit our duty in this part to God, to the supream Magistrate, or to our Parents?
A43008It so, whither can it move?
A43008Lastly, He can not prove it by any sense, only that it must be so, because it agrees with his supposition, and what proof is that to another?
A43008Lastly, I would willingly know wherein a being in power is distinguisht from a Non Ens, or nothing?
A43008Lastly, What was the faith of the Patriarchs in the Old Testament, but an implicit or inclusive faith?
A43008Light( Lumen) is actus visibilitatis( saith Scaliger) that is, it renders a visible thing visible: But how?
A43008Living spirits are attractive, but how?
A43008Mans goings are of the Lord; how can a man then understand his own way?
A43008Mercurius but water?
A43008Nature is infinitely beyond Art: What Art is there, which can produce the great world, or any thing comparable to the little world?
A43008Notwithstanding all this, there are some, who obstinately do affirm, that the evil habit inheres in the soul per se, but how do they prove it?
A43008Now I demand from you, whether the power of a Ghost''s Existence moveth your understanding before it doth actually exist?
A43008Now if it was unmixt, how could it be said to be tempered?
A43008Now that it is not perceptible is evident; for who can perceive water, ayr, or fire in the earth?
A43008Now then, is it not time for thee to flie, and make thy escape?
A43008Now what followeth hence?
A43008Now what sign of predominance of Earth and Water is there apparent in the Sun?
A43008O but what misery is it to be shut out from this celestial consort, and have ones brains dashed against the fiery pins, and burning stakes of Hell?
A43008On the other side, why should it not be conceived to be a transient action, since it doth terminare ad extra?
A43008Or did he specifie it from the common tact, because it was proper to the Membranes of the Genitals?
A43008Or did you ever see light and doubted of the flame of it?
A43008Or do you not think, that they would be sooner discussed through the intense heat of the upper Region, than concrease into a body?
A43008Or is it the soul together with the heat, wherein it is detained, which is accounted of an extract equally noble with her?
A43008Or otherwise if the air did strive to separate, how could it?
A43008Or simply, a form is needful, or how, or by what power could they act?
A43008Or thus, Can the understanding know against her will, or without her will?
A43008Or thus, If winds be so powerful, why did they not blow down such hils before they came to that height?
A43008Or why shall a light body have but little matter, and a weighty one much?
A43008Otherwise from whom should he else have learned these things, but from the Prophets?
A43008Pray observe here, that the condescending of the soul to the body was not a sinne: That being necessary; for how could man have eaten else?
A43008Pray tell me, why emanation may not be as properly called transmutation, as not?
A43008Pray what is this but absolute atheism?
A43008Pray, let them answer me, By what Efficient many mixt bodies, as plants, Bears and others are generated in the Winter in Greenland?
A43008Pray, what Concept can you have of Matter and Form without Accidents?
A43008Pray, what difference is there between a joy apprehended in a dream, and a joy perceived when one is awake?
A43008Pray, what is a substantial Principle but a substance?
A43008Probably you say it is: I ask you then what kind of body it is?
A43008Secondly, He doth against reason and experience state the rarefaction of some air: But whence came that air?
A43008Secondly, I demand through what principle all things are continued?
A43008Secondly, Would not all Philosophers deride him for saying an intrinsick efficient?
A43008Sense never perceived it, how can you then tell it?
A43008Since that all beings act for an end and purpose, it may be demanded, What end and purpose can a man have in coveting an evil object, as it is evil?
A43008Sixthly, To shun evil and to covet good, are two acts formally contrary: If so, How can these flow from one habit?
A43008So likewise the heat( Calidum innatum) is diversified from the matter and from the soul, wherefore it is neither matter or form, What then?
A43008Some are deferring, others equalizing, and what not for to drive away their time?
A43008Sulphur but fire and ayr?
A43008THe fourth Question proposed is, Which is the Subject of Natural Theology?
A43008Thales being sometimes demanded, what of all things was the most beautiful?
A43008That body which is existent without the world, is it a real body or not?
A43008That is, Whether the soul doth understand and will by two powers differing in themselves?
A43008The first matter, saith he, is the first subject of everything: Ergo every thing is generated out of the first matter: How can that be?
A43008The question, me thinks, is rather, whether it is not a Bull to name a substance incompleat?
A43008The south streaks( saith he) are intorted in a form different from those of the North: whence had he that news?
A43008There is not only a commonness required, but also an unity, or how could they be beings else?
A43008They all apprehend attraction to be violent, and notwithstanding they affirm Nature to abhor a Vacuum naturally, and how can this hang together?
A43008Thirdly, Wherein is his Archeus or internal efficient different from a form, which he doth so much detest?
A43008This Text doth apparently teach God''s eternal Decree, Predestination or Ordination to save some, and damn others: But for what?
A43008This is a plain division of a being existent, and possible to exist; Where halts the Definition then?
A43008This is futil: for what is apparent good, but a real evil?
A43008This is just like them to run from one extremity to another: But how a Vacuum?
A43008This manner of production is proper only to an infinite power: But you may demand, Why can not God invest the soul with this power?
A43008This power is given him in these expressed words of Scripture( saving my purpose) Let man multiply: How could man multiply had he not this power?
A43008Unde Plato( inquit) currum volantem Jovem agere in Coelo didicit, nisi ex Prophetarum Historiis, quas evolverit?

A43008What need there more words to consute so absurd an Opinion?
A43008What needs he to affirm a tumour of the water?
A43008What numerous Absurdities do scatter from this Spring of Falshood?

A43008What shall an intentional quality act really?
A43008What shall or can the holy Ghost cast its beams upon that, which is altogether evil?
A43008What shall we say then?

A43008Whence is it, that a man may carry a greater weight upon a Wheelbarrow than upon his back?

A43008Whence is it, that there fals a kind of small Rain every day from 11 or 12 of the Clock to 2 or 3 in the Afternoon, under the AEquinoctial Region?
A43008Whence should all the water of those great Lakes upon hills arrive?
A43008Whence( saith he) had Plato learned that Jupiter rid in a flying Chariot, but out of the Histories of the Prophets, which he had over- lookt?

A43008You may demand how I come to know that?
A43008You may demand, how practick and speculative objects do perfectionate the soul?
A43008You may demand, to what Science or Art it belongeth to treat of final Causes?
A43008You may enquire, why then Attribute doth in its formal Concept signifie distinctly from the signification of a being?
A43008You may here enquire, Why God through his infinite mercy doth not forgive man this debt of death?
A43008You will answer me affirmatively; But then, doth this fire burn?

A4328115. and following verses; afterwards the four Kings whom he overthrew, next the King and people of Sodom; and last of all the Philistines?
A432812 Q. Whence is it then that men say you are dead?
A432812. that the First- born that were killed in Egypt, were in the first place made alive again in the First- born of the Children of Israel?
A4328122. where God commanded the Israelitish women to borrow these things from the Egyptians, without making any mention of men at all?
A4328123, 24,& c. where it is related how Christ spit in the blind man''s eye, and laid his hand upon him, and asked him whether he saw any thing?
A4328123. and so kept the Souls united in himself, for that he was now become Lord over them?
A4328138 Q. Lastly, and to conclude, can it be denied, that all of us proceed from one Unity?
A432814. where our Saviour himself doth further confirm the same?
A43281And are not some other passages concerning Jacob and his Sons well worth our consideration, with referrence to his Hypothesis?
A43281And did not all these Souls afterwards, by means of Lot and his Wife and two Daughters, revolve in Abraham?
A43281And do not these three together, the Head, the lower Belly, and the Heart, which rules over the other two, give rise or original to the number three?
A43281And do not we partly meet with an instance hereof amongst irrational Creatures?
A43281And do not we thus perceive the reason, why men must be several times born into this World?
A43281And doth not God hereby point out to us, that such Creatures as these were the next to Man, and the fittest to be enobled into his nature?
A43281And doth not God hereby point out to us, that such Creatures as these were the next to Man, and the fittest to be enobled into his nature?
A43281And doth not our ever Blessed and most wise Saviour most wisely answer this question?
A43281And doth not the great Analogy which there is between Man and the Law, plainly appear from what hath been said?
A43281And doth not the very same happen in Hearing likewise?
A43281And doth not this question plainly imply, that this man had been in Life and corporal Being, antecedently to this his last Birth?
A43281And have not we likewise an abundant confirmation of this power and force which resides in the Hair, from the History of Sampson?
A43281And he said unto him, Why callest thou 〈 ◊ 〉 good?
A43281And how Gold is properly formed?
A43281And how many Revolutions must they perform, before their finishing of this universal Revolution, when all of them shall be united together again?
A43281And how these again are changed, and yet other properties and figures?
A43281And if so, can you imagine now that these men without experience could ever be able to accomplish and satisfie the Desire of this seeking Woman?
A43281And in case any one should go about to leap over some of these steps, would he not find this altogether impracticable?
A43281And in the next place, how are the same the Root and Original of all Terrestrial Bodies?
A43281And is it not probable, that by this means we may soon get the m ● stery of a Cough?
A43281And is not the History of Moses and the Children of Israel alike memorable?
A43281And is not this another great instance of the harmony and agreement which is betwixt the greater and lesser World?
A43281And is not this well worth our animadversion and consideration?
A43281And lastly, doth it not follow, that the Teeth were chiefly given to man, for these three reasons and uses?
A43281And like as in the Body the Heart is a more principal part than the Stomach, might we not compare the same with the most holy place in the Temple?
A43281And like as in the Body the Heart is a more principal part than the Stomach, might we not compare the same with the most holy place in the Temple?
A43281And likewise that the same persons must appear again upon the earth, if ever they shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord?
A43281And may not this be accounted the first and best step towards Recovery?
A43281And may not we from hence plainly perceive, the exact proportion and symmetry of the Fabrick of Mans Body?
A43281And may not we in some measure perceive from hence, what the nature of that indisposition is which we commonly call a Pose or Cold?
A43281And may we not therefore with evidence conclude from hence, that the Garden of Eden was not onely an outward place without man?
A43281And might it not properly be called an Altar in the Temple of God, on which all right and well ordered food for the life of man, is to be offered up?
A43281And must it not be concluded from hence, that all Creatures, continually without ceasing, take in a true substance, and give it out from them again?
A43281And must not his will incontestably take place?
A43281And must not therefore the works of man follow him, which he hath done in his life- time, whether they be good or evil?
A43281And must not this Love ordinarily stand in a constant growth, because every right Union must proceed from a stedfast Love?
A43281And ought not likewise an understanding man to consider that Sickness and Diseases prepare men for Patience and Virtues?
A43281And seeing that the spiritual shews it self, and dwells in the corporeal, must not they both therefore needs be of near kin to one another?
A43281And that for the same he was now punished, by being born blind?
A43281And that in this World, seeing it is very probable that man must attain his end, where he hath had his beginning?
A43281And that it hath its peculiar powers and out- workings?
A43281And that the very same may be caused by a violent and excessive Laughter without tears, is not this also matter of experience?
A43281And that therefore there are Worlds without End, for that we can never come to an end in the knowledge of God?
A43281And that thus these three parts of the Brain, do make out the holy number three or Ternary?
A43281And the Doctrine of Revolution very plainly held forth in the same?
A43281And were not both these passages superintended by a disposal and ordering of the Divine Wisdom?
A43281And what a strange kind of body must that be, in which we find so great a distance between the upper parts of it, and this Earth?
A43281And what afterwards became of these two Angels?
A43281And when we compare this body, consisting of many members( every one of which are opperative and working to a higher degree of perfection) to an Army?
A43281And whether it admits of a particular exaltation and melioration in it self?
A43281And whether it be not therefore necessary to preserve the same in its strength and vigour, to the ● end that the whole body may be kept so likewise?
A43281And whether their growth and increase be by opposition of something from without?
A43281And whether this could be brought about any other way, than by being born again the common way into this world?
A43281And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brothers eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
A43281And why call ye me Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?
A43281And will it not be a difficult thing to find out the Apostles meaning and sense in those verses, without laying this Doctrine for a foundation?
A43281And will not all these places make out most clearly, that John the Baptist according to the Testimony of Christ himself, was really and truly Elias?
A43281And will not this interpretation lay a fair ground for the opening of many other misteries in a due and right order?
A43281Are the Stones and Rocks then the very same, as ye were created from the beginning in all your parts without alteration?
A43281Are there not twelve hours in the day?
A43281As also that they have an Analogy with, and may be compared to the Stars of Heaven?
A43281As also whence it is that they can communicate this colour to Gold and not to Silver, or any other Metal, and not to themselves?
A43281As also whether or no any one can be a Man and a Child together, and at the same time?
A43281At the time appointed returning I will return unto thee, according to the time of life?
A43281But how can this be, that God should work and act contrary to his own nature and himself?
A43281But that now since his fall, it must be otherwise; that is, in several Lives, or times of Life?
A43281But we enquiring further, what then was to be done in this case, and how we might with certainty attain to Truth?
A43281But what may be the reason why Steel when it comes into the cold, grows harder; but when it is in warmth or heat, it grows softer?
A43281But what way is there to reduce all stones 〈 ◊ 〉 some general heads, to the end we may distin ● uish them the better, and learn to know them?
A43281Do not we find here ● hen the ground of the number Five, and in part of ● he number Ten also?
A43281Do not we likewise find a plain Argument and Evidence for proof of the Revolution of Souls in the History of Dinah?
A43281Do not we likewise find, that when a man is very weary, he is apt to yawn?
A43281Doth it not follow from hence, that this water hath a similitude and agreement with the waters of the great world?
A43281Doth not all this well deserve to be weighed and considered by us?
A43281Dudaim of Ruben which he brought to his Mother, for which she bought or hired the company of her Husband Jacob that night from Rachel?
A43281For how could it else in a natural way be supposed of him; that he should sin before he was born?
A43281For how could they any other way have been so often avenged, except that they themselves were present, and born anew into this World?
A43281For is not every Creature of God Infinite?
A43281For seeing that God hath made his beloved ones Kings and Priests, how could he have made them Kings, in case they had no Subjects?
A43281For was it not therefore thus ordained by God, because he is a God of Order?
A43281HOw are we to consider the Lights of Heaven?
A43281Hands, and Fingers, as through Boughs and Branches?
A43281How am I to understand this?
A43281How can it be made out first, that the water and the Quick- sand are the foundation of the Earth, and the Creatures that are in it?
A43281How can it be made out that Heat is a Being?
A43281How can it be then that we should be immutable, and not need, as well as they, to be renewed by food from the air and water?
A43281How can the Sulphur have this effect upon Iron?
A43281How can these difficulties be disintangled?
A43281How can this be made out from Nature?
A43281How can this be made out?
A43281How doth it come to pass that Lead in a less fire is turned to Glass, and in a stronger is again changed into Lead?
A43281How is this Union of Father and Mother( the Sun and Moon) performed, and how is the said Birth brought forth by and from them?
A43281How may the same be demonstated Mechannically?
A43281How shall we understand this?
A43281How the Philistines became ingrafted into Abraham?
A43281I have stain a man to my wounding, and a young man to my hurt; that by the man Cain is to be understood, and by the young man his Brother Abel?
A43281In how long time is this perfect Circumvolution and Out- birth of all and every Planet accomplished?
A43281Is it not likewise well worth our Animadversion here, that the greatest Riches must be changed into the greatest Poverty?
A43281Is it not necessary to have some information also, concerning the Natural and Mechanical Weavings of both these Sulphurs?
A43281Is it possible for a man in his life- time to see how the Rocks makes holes in themselves, and in them bring forth other stones?
A43281Is there no way to be found out for to make Glass of Gold?
A43281Is there nothing more to be taken notice of concerning Gold?
A43281It follows also if they have had a Beginning, that before the same, they were not, and consequently that they sprang and came of nothing?
A43281May it not bear this Sense?
A43281May not we return this answer?
A43281May not we suppose that it was, because they were all of them entred upon Revolution?
A43281May we not also from hence in a certain manner find out the foundation of the number Ten in man?
A43281May we not answer this Objection thus?
A43281May we not likewise to this same purpose alledge that other Parable of Christ in the same Chapter of Luke, concerning the rich man and Lazarus?
A43281Might not another and clearer instance of this matter be produced?
A43281Must not he therefore also have different times allotted him for the working out of those parts to perfection?
A43281Must not then the same consequently happen with Man also, who is the Out- birth of the greater world?
A43281Must not we of necessity conclude therefore, that from this little Egg the whole form of the Body is produced in the Womb?
A43281Must we then consider the Sun in opposition to the Moon and Stars, as the Male or Husband?
A43281Now how can any one love God, when he doth not know him ▪ And how can he know him otherwise than by 〈 ◊ 〉 Attributes and Properties?
A43281Now that in this foresaid stinking smell there is a true Brimstone, is not this evident from the kindling of these winds in those that are sound?
A43281Now then, is the man able in himself alone to advance this Image to the full perfection of a man?
A43281Now to suppose that all these must continue in this their state of imperfection, would not this run directly contrary to the forementioned Attributes?
A43281Or Priests, if they had nothing to offer up to him?
A43281Or how could any thing have endured, if it had not been his will?
A43281Or how could it have been preserved, if not called by him?
A43281Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, let me pull out the mote out of thine eye?
A43281Or rather must it not, in order to its becoming bodily, go down to the Birth, that it may there be wrought out and perfected?
A43281Or whether that which is so commonly esteemed, will not, after diligent consideration, be found a much more noble thing?
A43281Or whether there be not a great difference between them in this respect?
A43281Or whether they increase in all their parts by means of their inward powers and life, even as a Child grows up to be a man?
A43281Or whether they receive again what they give out from other Heavens, and consequently may continue the same without any change in their own Beings?
A43281Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his saltness, wherewith will ye season it?
A43281Seeing then that this is so, is there no Key to be found wherewith the Mysteries of Scripture might be opened?
A43281Shall we not find that our Saviour himself, as well as the Scribes, understood that Elias must first come?
A43281Shall we suppose it was because he needed to be informed by them?
A43281Simon Peter said unto him, Lord whither goest thou?
A43281Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him?
A43281Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the work of God?
A43281Were you stones so created at the begining?
A43281What doth this spiritual Being( which is called the spiritual vigour and strength of the Macrocosm) work or effect in the Air?
A43281What further changes is this foresaid Oker subject to, when it is not melted down to Iron, but is permitted to die and perish?
A43281What is now further to be observed about the other Metals?
A43281What is properly Heat and Cold?
A43281What is the nature and property of the second sort of Stones, which of themselves without any addition are melted down into glass?
A43281What is written in the Law?
A43281What kind of operation doth this spiritual Being in the Air perform in Thunder and Lightning?
A43281What may be the cause why Gold and Silver( as was said) are not by fire upon the test turned to Glass, as other Metals are?
A43281What may be the reason think we, why the Jews in the Hebrew Tongue express Deaf and Dumb with one and the same word?
A43281What may be the reason why the Seas are so salt, and that in one place more than another?
A43281What meanest thou by that expression, when thou sayst, that thou art profitable to man both inwardly and outwardly?
A43281What think we then may have been the reason why Christ asked his Disciples, what the People said of him who he was?
A43281Whereat he being astonished, answered with wonder and horrour, Am I then become my Brothers keeper?
A43281Whether and how we may know this by experience?
A43281Whether he( the blind man) had sinned, or his parents that he was born blind?
A43281Whether is any thing more to be considered and taken notice of about Gold, viz How many sorts of Gold there be?
A43281Whether or no those Spirits which come from wise persons, have not heretofore appeared, and acted their parts upon this Theatre?
A43281Whether they do grow on to a greater bulk, until they have attained to their due magnitude, age, and maturity?
A43281Whether, I say, after a due weighing of all this, we may not conclude that Eve was made out of the very Center of the whole Body of Man?
A43281Whether, I say, this can admit of any other meaning than that the Holy Ghost did contribute to the conception of Isaac?
A43281Which are the Cool Lights?
A43281Which are those you call warm Lights?
A43281Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves?
A43281Why are the cool Lights Female, or Night- lights?
A43281Why art thou the first of all the rest, who appear''st and shewest thy self?
A43281Would it not therefore be needful to set down a more plain declaration, how and in what manner the waters have their Regiment and operation?
A43281Ye shall know them by their fruits: Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
A43281Yea, may not yet possible a greater mystery lie hid under the veil of this outward Narrative?
A43281and behold, a beam is in thine own eye?
A43281and more maturely to weigh and consider of them than hitherto we have done?
A43281and partly also in a year through the twelve Signes of the Zodiack?
A43281from whence is it then that it receives the water which it gives forth continually?
A43281how readest thou?
A43281how the Revolution from below to above, from the Quick- sand, to Stones, Metals,& c. even up to the very highest Mountains is performed?
A43281how we can make out that our blessed Saviour Jesus was the right, true and natural Son of David, and consequently the true Messiah promised by God?
A43281it s combustible and fix Sulphur naturally and mechanically woven and united together?
A43281of those which do not abide the fire, but are burnt to Lime?
A43281on the fourth day?
A43281or how can it be supposed, that that generation should have killed Abel, Zachary, and all the Prophets?
A43281or is it possible for us to understand how and why this is the way, and no other?
A43281or rather have they not each of them an uncessant longing and desire to restore the Image they have taken in to the party from whom they received it?
A43281out of the Heart, and are sent abroad as his Messengers?
A43281that a Wind is made in the Guts, which by degrees thrusts forth the said Excrements?

A61244( i. e.) Why are the higher the swifter, and the lower the ● lower?
A61244And Motion, and Rest, what accidents are they in Nature?
A61244And both men and beasts, which are not fastened to the Earth, how could they resist so great an impetus?
A61244And by this rule the innumerable other fixed stars had no existence before that men did look on them?
A61244And can not you, Simplicius, give a reason for this, without others prompting you?
A61244And did you not say, that the project being drawn by its own weight, declineth from the Tangent towards the centre of the Earth?
A61244And do not you pe ● ceive a shamefull errour therein?
A61244And do you say that this is not a manifest Paralogism?
A61244And doth he by this demonstration prove the time of the fall to be above six dayes?
A61244And have you no other conceit thereof than this?
A61244And he likewise makes his opposition to this also; demanding who carrieth the air about, Nature, or Violence?
A61244And how long would that Ball move, and with what velocity?
A61244And if his power be infinite, why should he not rather exercise a greater part thereof than a lesse?
A61244And if in that operation it shall happen, that any mutation shall discover it self, what and how great benefit will it bring to Astronomy?
A61244And if these are fallacies, what true demonstrations were ever so fair?
A61244And if you call this a probable Discourse, what shall the necessary demonstrations be?
A61244And if you do not dayly see herbs, plants, animals to generate and corrupt, what is it that you do see?
A61244And in case it were thrust forward by the impression of some violent impetus from without, what and how great would its motion be?
A61244And is this the sum of his method?
A61244And lastly, he declareth the goodnesse of God in general, who daily createth and preserveth all things?
A61244And of these simple elementary bodies, what are the natural motions?
A61244And the annual alteration of those ebbings and flowings do, it seems, depend on the additions and substractions of the diurnal conversion?
A61244And the annual motion of the Sun through the Ecliptick, is it not on the contrary from West to East?
A61244And the contact likewise of another sphere equal to the first, shall be also a like particle of its superficies?
A61244And these two conclusions, are they not of such a nature, that one of them must necessarily be true, and the other false?
A61244And this being overthrown, which was as it were their foundation, have these Novellists any thing more wherewith to maintain their assertion?
A61244And this greater difficulty, wherein think you doth it depend?
A61244And this incorruptibility, from whence do you prove it?
A61244And towards what part?
A61244And what a folly it is to say the Coelestial part is unalterable, because no stars do generate or corrupt therein?
A61244And what difference think you, was there betwixt the Dove of Architas, and one made by Nature?
A61244And what greater folly can there be imagined, than to call Jems, Silver and Gold pretious; and Earth and dirt vile?
A61244And what is that?
A61244And what is the Wind?
A61244And what say you, Sagredus?
A61244And what ward will you choose in this combate for this first blow?
A61244And when it should be to return, and re- unite it self to the Earth, by what line would it then move?
A61244And when the stone leaveth the sling, what is its motion?
A61244And where leave you that reason, namely, that as it were by the law of Nature, this number is used in the sacrifices of the Gods?
A61244And who knows but that to the Earth, which beholdeth them without eyes, they may not shew very great, and such as in reality they are?
A61244And who knows not that the whole History of the rich Glutton doth consist of the like phrases of Vulgar Speech?
A61244And who saith that I can not draw other lines?
A61244And why being so dictated by nature, do we atribute to those things that are three, and not to lesse, the title of all?
A61244And why have you not, without being put to believe other mens relations, examined and observed those alterations with your own eyes?
A61244And why might not that by the tangent be so swift, as not to give the pen time to return to the surface of the Earth?
A61244And why not whither the contrary parts tend, namely, those which touch the ground?

A61244And why not?
A61244And why should they be vain and uselesse?
A61244And why so remote?
A61244And with what demonstration, I pray you?
A61244Are they really pull''d down from Heaven to these lower regions, by vertue of that Authours calculations, whom Simplicius mentioneth?
A61244Are we then to have still more of these strong oppositions against this annual motion?
A61244Are you assured, then, that it would freely move towards the declivity?
A61244Are you serious, or do you jest?
A61244Aristotle, then, hath made you see that which without him you would not have seen?
A61244As to the resolving of it, and finding out its fallacie, do you not in the first place see a manifest contradiction in it?
A61244BG is 42657. in case the said DB were 8142. how much would BC be?
A61244But I proceed to another consideration: What is the reason, doth he say, why the stars appear so little?
A61244But Mars, Where shall we place it?
A61244But by what right line?
A61244But do not you see, that those very words carry in them a confutation of this solution?
A61244But do not you think, that the Terrestrial Globe might supernaturally, that is, by the absolute power of God, be made moveable?
A61244But do you know Simplicius, how this commeth to passe?
A61244But do you think that the velocity doth fully make good the gravity?
A61244But for Gods sake, if it move transversly, how is it that I behold it to move directly and perpendicularly?
A61244But from one discourse to another whither are we stray''d?
A61244But from whence do you argue that not the Earth, but the Sun is in the centre of the Planetary revolutions?
A61244But how came this to be concealed from Copernicus, and revealed to you?
A61244But how can a magnitude be diminished more than another, which hath a twofold diminution in infinitum?
A61244But how could you in so short a time examine all this Book, which is so great a Volume, and must needs contain very many demonstrations?
A61244But how much is the bow to be drawn, and how much slackened?
A61244But how much lesse the fame of his sublime wit amongst the intelligent?
A61244But how upon the winds being laid, doth the ship cease to move?
A61244But if I grant you this, do not you perceive that it maketh so much the more against your cause?
A61244But if I should say, that so it falleth out upon triall, how would you censure me?
A61244But if one should require that that Ball should move upwards on that same superficies, do you believe that it would so do?
A61244But if the illumination should be nothing, or so small, that you would scarse discern it, what would you say then?
A61244But if the piece were placed, not prependicularly, but inclining towards some place, what would the motion of the ball be?
A61244But if thou apprehendest it not, why wilt thou passe thy verdict upon things beyond thy comprehension?
A61244But if you were to throw with your arm a stone, and a lock of cotton wool, which would move swiftest and farthest?
A61244But in case we should recede from Aristotle, who have we to be our Guid in Philosophy?
A61244But is there any such superficies in the World?
A61244But on the inclining plane CA it would descend, but with a gentler motion than by the perpendicular CB?
A61244But tell me, when the chariot moveth, doth not all things in the same move with the same velocity?
A61244But tell me; that figure what ever it is which the stone hath, hath it the same in perfection, or no?
A61244But the middle term, ought not that to be known?
A61244But these things, were they not known to this Author?
A61244But this motion beyond the centre, would it not be upwards, and according to your assertion preternatural, and violent?
A61244But this point of motion, is it not a natural question?
A61244But to overpass this also, how know you but that Coelestial rarity and density depend on heat and cold?
A61244But what benefit can we draw from matters so hid and remote from us, as that we shall never be able to make use of them?
A61244But what defence hath he for himself against so manifest contradictions?
A61244But what do you understand by Earth?
A61244But what effect hath the greater or less intensness of the bow upon the shaft?
A61244But what followeth?
A61244But what great exorbitancies are there in the Ptolomaick Systeme, for which there are not greater to be found in this of Copernicus?
A61244But what hath this motion to do with that of the Earth, that in comparision to theirs is immense?
A61244But what need I speak of this?
A61244But what needs more discourse?
A61244But what other difference have you behind, to exchange for this which you have named?
A61244But what saith the Author to these?
A61244But what talk I of Virgil, or any other Poet?
A61244But what then?
A61244But when of many and many computations that have been made, there should not be so much as two onely that prove true, what would you think of them?
A61244But whether are we wandred with so long a digression, contrary to our former resolutions?
A61244But which of these two pendent Globes do you think, would continue longest in motion, before that it would come to rest in its perpendicularity?
A61244But who considereth that the self- same Scene of Life is ever acting, by different persons; and that nothing is new in humane affairs?
A61244But who shall assure us, that the parts more inward and near to the centre are unfruitful?
A61244But with what kind of motion?
A61244But yet you understand that this onely right line shall again of necessity be the shortest of them all?
A61244Can an Opinion be Heretical, and yet nothing concerning the salvation of souls?
A61244Can you tell, Simplicius, which those circular motions be, that are not contrary to each other?
A61244Did I not say it could be no other than a Sophism?
A61244Did he ever lend you his eyes?
A61244Do not you see, that if there is any advantage, the wall hath it?
A61244Do you ask me how so?
A61244Do you not answer me?
A61244Do you not see that, in this case, the arrow would of necessity move with greater velocity than the air?
A61244Do you now conceive what I would say?
A61244Do you see, Simplicius, if greater inconveniences would happen?
A61244Doth Aristotle demonstrate this, or doth he not rather barely affirm it, as serving to some certain design of his?
A61244Doth he not lay down the conclusion as unknown?
A61244Doth he think that Heaven is no Coelestial substance?
A61244Doth it continue to follow its former circle, or doth it go by another line?
A61244Doth not he know, that this commeth from the Instrument that we imploy in beholding them, to wit, from our eye?
A61244Doth not he say that the circular motion of the Earth would be violent?
A61244Doth thy imagination comprehend that vast magnitude of the Universe, wh ● ch thou afterwards judgest to be too immense?
A61244For if it be natural, how then is that motion which is about the centre natural, seeing it differs in species from a right motion?
A61244For who knows not that the Earth is alwaies the same?
A61244For who will prescribe bounds to the Wits of men?
A61244For whose profit and advantage?
A61244Go to; if the Earth was generable and corruptible before that Inundation, why may not the Moon be so likewise without such a change?
A61244Go to; tell me, Simplicius, are not these affections contrary to one another?
A61244Grant that it were so where such proofs can not be had, yet if this case admit of them, why do not you use them?
A61244Hath it not reason then to move in it self more swiftly upon the ground, than it did whilst it was in the air?
A61244Have you ever tryed the experiment of the Ship?
A61244He doth so; and very ingenious they are: particularly, That, Whence it cometh to pass that round tops run better than the square?
A61244Hold a little, good Simplicius, this modern Author, what saith he to the new Stars, Anno 1572, and 1604, and to the Solar spots?
A61244How can that be?
A61244How can that be?
A61244How can this be?
A61244How can we then, with shots so uncertain, assure our selves of that which is in dispute?
A61244How is this?
A61244How long therefore would you have the moveable to move?
A61244How much circumspection is there to be used in affirming or denying a proposition?
A61244How much readier is Simplicius to apprehend the objections which favour the opinions of Aristotle, than their solutions?
A61244How so?
A61244How then can you make these motions being conferred on the Earth, of contraries to become consistents?
A61244How then doth this come to pass?
A61244How, do you not know that?
A61244How, is there no such thing acknowledged?
A61244How?
A61244How?
A61244How?
A61244I do not very well understand this business; do you, Salviatus?
A61244If that superficies were inclining?
A61244If the first; what manner of accident is it?
A61244If thou comprehendest it; wilt thou hold that thy apprehension extendeth it self farther than the Divine Power?
A61244Insuper quî fit, ut istae res tam variae tantùm moveantur ab Occasu in Ortum, parallelae ad Aequatorem?
A61244Is it haply, because they seem so to us?
A61244Is it not all one whether opinions and inventions be new to men, or the men new to them?
A61244Is it not difference sufficient, that the simple and absolute are more swift than that which proceeds from predominion?
A61244Is it not known to us, that all these elementary matters move round, together with the Earth?
A61244Is it not only many thousand times greater than the descending motion of the pen, but than that of the stone?
A61244Is it not so?
A61244Is not this your argumentation?
A61244Is there any way to shoot so that these flights may be equal?
A61244Is, not then the Moons Orb one of the Celestial Spheres, and according to consent comprised in the middle of all the rest?
A61244It may be he did not think of them?
A61244It seems then, that the Monethly alteration of ebbings and flowings dependeth on the alteration of the annual motion of the Earth?
A61244Likewise in Haggai: o Is the seed yet in the Bud?
A61244May it not chance, that in its fall to the ground it may acquire a motion?
A61244May we not say, and that with reason, that the structure of a Statue fals far short of the formation of a living man, yea more of a contemptible worm?
A61244Moreover in the fourth Text; doth he not after some other Doctrines, prove it by another demonstration?
A61244Must it be so, because we do not see them?
A61244Nam si naturalis, quomodo& is motus qui circum est, naturalis est, cùm specie differat à recto?
A61244Not so, Sir; I would not deprive you of it: but are the Queries yet at an end?
A61244Now can there a better or more commodious Hypothesis be devised, than this of Copernicus,?
A61244Now how much more neerer is the Moon to the Earth, than to any other of the Coelestial Orbs?
A61244Now if Aristotle had seen these things, what think you he would have said, and done Simplicius?
A61244Now of what use could the generations which we suppose to be made in the Moon or other Planets, ever be to mankind?
A61244Now tell me, what would befall the same moveable upon a superficies that had neither acclivity nor declivity?
A61244Now tell me; have you ever at midnight seen the Terrestrial Globe illuminated by the Sun?
A61244Now what say you to this experiment?
A61244Now what say you, Salviatus touching those stars?
A61244Now what would Simplicius say to this?
A61244Now, Simplicius, what shall we do with the fixed stars?
A61244Now, what doth it import, that that impetus be conferred on the ball rather from the arm than from the horse?
A61244Of a right line which toucheth a circle, which of its points is the nearest to the centre of that circle?
A61244Or can it be said that the Holy Ghost purposed not to teach us a thing that concerned our salvation?
A61244Or do you think that any Peripatetick is equally verst in the Copernican demonstrations?
A61244Or why should that be necessary in the Moon, which importeth nothing on Earth?
A61244Our conclusion which is to be proved, and which is unknown, is it not the stability of the Earth?
A61244Perhaps he is the same with the Author of the Book, called Anti- Tycho?
A61244Perhaps they are new to you?
A61244Quae etiam si esset, quomodò tamen inveniretur in rebus tam contrariis?
A61244Quam ergò veritatem sperare possumus à facultate adeò fallaci ortum trahentem?
A61244Quare centrum sphaere delapsae sub Aequatore spiram describit in ejus plano: sub aliis parallelis spiram describit in cono?
A61244Quare, quae Aequinoctiali propriores, in majori; quae remotiores, in minori circulo feruntur?
A61244Quarè, quò sunt altiores, celeriùs; quò humiliores, tardiùs?
A61244Quid est verò decipi sensum, nisi haec esset deceptio?
A61244Sed contra —[ In English thus] If from an externe principle; Whether God doth not excite it by a continued Miracle?
A61244Shall we dismantle that fort in which we are safe from all hostile assaults?
A61244Shall we then overthrow that Fabrick under which so many passengers find shelter?
A61244Si latio circularis gravibus& levibus est naturalis, qualis est ea quae fit secundùm lineam rectam?
A61244Si primum; quale nam illud?
A61244Si terra staret per voluntatem Dei, rotaréntne caetera, an non?
A61244So I think, provided one did lay it down gently: but if it had an impetus given it towards any part, what would follow?
A61244So that the recession of the project from the circumference of the precedent circular motion is very small in the begining?
A61244So that, if those lines should not be equal, that same solidity would be no longer a sphere?
A61244Tell me a little, do not these motions go continually accelerating?
A61244Tell me in the next place?
A61244Tell me now what you believe the same ball would do put upon the Horizontal plane AB?
A61244Tell me now which appears clearest unto you, that of the Wall or that of the Glasse?
A61244Tell me now, doth not this wet brick shew more dull than the other dry ones?
A61244Tell me now; do you believe that the Moon is really more shining in the night than day, or that by some accident it seemeth so?
A61244Tell me therefore, how much do you think sufficeth to make that motion swifter than this?
A61244Tell me therefore; know you that a thing which moveth, being impeded stands still?
A61244Tell me, therefore, do you think that a Ship which should sail from the Strait of Gibralter towards Palestina can eternally move towards that Coast?
A61244Tell me; of two penduli hanging at unequal distances, doth not that which is fastned to the longer threed make its vibrations more seldome?
A61244Texts, after the definition of Continual?
A61244That those Truths which we know, are very few, in comparison of those which we know not?
A61244The Diurnal motion of the primum mobile, is it not from East to West?
A61244The Earth, the Sun, and Stars, what things are they in nature?
A61244The middle term, which ought to be known, is it not the streight and perpendicular descent of the stone?
A61244The moveable is here the same, that is, the same pen; now how can the same moveable superate and exceed it self in motion?
A61244Then it seems the arrows shot, are to penetrate the air?
A61244Then the four Medicean Planets, and the companions of Saturn came first into Heaven, when we began to see them, and not before?
A61244Then the remotenesse of the Moon is not so great, that a like angle should be* insensible in her?
A61244Then you do not think that the sight would fall upon that point of the Starry Sphere, that answereth to the direction of the Top- Gallant Top?
A61244Therefore tell me, Simplicius, do you think there can be any shadow, where the rays of the Sun do shine?
A61244Therefore tell me, what and where is this your intended centre?
A61244These Propositions to my ears sound very harsh: and I believe to yours Simplicius?
A61244They also may, perhaps, have their productions of things unknown to us?
A61244This is truly admirable: and do you say that there is a Mathematical demonstration for it?
A61244To the end they might seem so very small, and might have no influence at all upon the Earth?
A61244To what end?
A61244To what purpose is such a needlesse monstrous* immensity between them and Saturn?
A61244Very well, Sir, have you ever a better experiment than this?
A61244Very well: and for moveables equally swift, what''s your conceit of them?
A61244Was it not enough that he could say of them the same which he spoke of the New stars?
A61244Were they produced for the Earth, for an inconsiderable point?
A61244What Philosopher hath writ all the parts of Natural Philosophy, and that so methodically without omitting so much as one single conclusion?
A61244What Tygre, what Falcon runneth or flyeth with so much swiftness?
A61244What excellent matter would the Heavens afford us for to make Pallaces of, if we could procure a substance so hard and so transparent?
A61244What in the next place are the tokens that their motions are about the Sun?
A61244What is this, but to make an Oracle of a Log, and to run to that for answers, to fear that, to reverence and adore that?
A61244What of Navigation?
A61244What other Author should we follow in the Schools, Academies and Studies?
A61244What proportion doth one bear to a thousand?
A61244What say you Simplicius?
A61244What say you therefore, is the reflection of a Glasse lesse powerful than that of a Wall?
A61244What shall I say of such and so various Instruments of that Art?
A61244What shall we say of Architecture?
A61244What shall we say therefore?
A61244What then is its contact?
A61244What then?
A61244What truth therefore can we hope for, to be derived from so deceiveable a faculty?
A61244What will it do then?
A61244What wonder is it then, that the first reflection very lively illuminates, and that this other is almost imperceptible?
A61244What would Ships do that lye out at Sea?
A61244What, do they not agree?
A61244Where doth he find that Copernicus maketh the annual motion by the Ecliptick contrary to the motion about its own centre?
A61244Which then are those few that agree in placing the star in the same situation?
A61244Which?
A61244Whilst you were on horseback, did not your hand, and consequently the ball run as fast as the horse it self?
A61244Who can deny it?
A61244Who doubts it?
A61244Who doubts it?
A61244Who will assert that all that is sensible and knowable in the World is already discovered and known?
A61244Who, I pray, in elder times could have found out this Mystery?
A61244Why do you call the four jovial Planets, Moons?
A61244Why do you not answer me?
A61244Why these; Alterable, unalterable; passible,* impassible; generable, ingenerable; corruptible, incorruptible?
A61244Will not they that in other points disagree with us, confess this( and it is a great truth) that Eaquae scimus, sint minima pars corum quae ignoramus?
A61244Will you say that the Air is not a subject different from the arm?
A61244Will you say the air giveth them a velocity greater than its own?
A61244Will you say, that this new Water is borrowed from the Ocean, being brought in by the Straight of Gibraltar?
A61244With what motion doth it move then?
A61244Would it go haply, as in the other shot, by the perpendicular line, and return again by the same?
A61244Would you then from false fundamentals deduce and establish a doubtful conclusion for true?
A61244You believe then, that two stones, or two pieces of Iron taken at chance, and put together, do for the most part touch in one sole point?
A61244You do not think then, that the tangent toucheth the superficies of the terrestrial Globe in one point only?
A61244You have not made an hundred, no nor one proof thereof, and do you so confidently affirm it for true?
A61244[ Which I thus render:] If the Earth be supposed to stand still by the will of God, should the rest of bodies turn round or no?
A61244[ in English thus:] Which although it were, yet how could it be found in things so contrary?
A61244[ scilicet:] Why are those near the Aequinoctial carried about in a greater circle, and those which are remote in a lesser?
A61244an verò Angelus, an aër?
A61244and confequently, do you not know in genere, that every bright body shews the clearer, by how much the ambient is obscurer?
A61244and hath as yet the Vine and the Fig- tree, and the Pomegranate, and the Olive- tree brought forth?
A61244and how much faster doth a piece of pure Earth descend, than a piece of Wood?
A61244and how should the forces waste, where they are not at all imployed?
A61244and if he saw them, what doth he say unto them?
A61244and saith he not this without the least doubt or haesitation?
A61244and that Wall, finally, what else is it but a little obscure Earth, unapt to shine?
A61244and that for so much a greater space, by how much the superficies were more smooth, so that v. g. upon ice it would run a great way?
A61244and that this is absurd, for that the order of the World is eternal?
A61244and therefore not eternal?
A61244and this greater velocity, what doth confer it on the arrow?
A61244and what course shall the rayes of the Sun keep, which are to passe thorow the body of the Moon, that they may find out our eye?
A61244and what is this?
A61244and where?
A61244and with how much facility?
A61244are they petite things not worth our notice, or grand and worthy of consideration?
A61244as for my part I can think of no other?
A61244but by the various collocation of* twenty little letters upon a paper?
A61244but if the air goeth along with them, yea, is that which carrieth them, what penetration can they make therein?
A61244but what shall we say of the senses, and of the powers of the soul, and lastly, of the understanding?
A61244do not you believe( as for my part I do) that it would lie still?
A61244do you think that Salviatus is Master of, and knoweth how to unfold the Ptolomean and Aristotelian arguments?
A61244five hundred paces?
A61244hath any one seen a Terrestrial Globe corrupt, and another regenerate in its place?
A61244have you any thing else to say, Simplicius, upon this particular?
A61244have you it not first there proved, that there is no more but three dimensions, for that those three are all things, and that they are every where?
A61244in igne, ut in aquâ; in aëre, ut in terra; in viventibus, ut in animà carentibus?
A61244in living creatures, as in things wanting life?
A61244in the air, as in the earth?
A61244in the fire, as in the water?
A61244is not this a more than evident argument of the motions being right, and towards the Centre?
A61244keeping alwayes an equal course?
A61244or an Angel, or the Air?
A61244sub Polo descendit in axe lineam gyralem, decurrens in superficie cylindricâ consignatam?
A61244that is, according as the said moveable in its deviation hath a greater or lesser space to move in the same time?
A61244that they always move, and never rest?
A61244to serve that which you call the drosse of the World, and sink of all uncleannesse?
A61244ut semper moveantur, nunquam quiescant?
A61244well aimed, you blame me for roving from the point in hand; but what have you to do with Schools and Markets?
A61244what fine figures, what birds, what balls, and what other pretty things are here?
A61244what will the Philosopher say then?
A61244when will there be an end put to the new observations and discoveries of this admirable Instrument?
A61244why may not I protract another line underneath, unto the point A, that may be perpendicular to the rest?
A61244why of two is it said both, and not all, unless they be three?
A61244wilt thou say, that thou canst imagine greater things than those which God can bring to passe?
A61244you have placed us where the Glasses doth not reverberate upon us; but come along with me a little this way; how, will you not stir?
