i_o little_a please_v myself_o in_o opine_v concern_v thing_n undeterminable_a by_o man._n i_o shall_v conclude_v this_o book_n by_o consider_v one_o thing_n which_o the_o author_n great_o insist_o on_o in_o several_a part_n of_o it_o viz._n that_o the_o first_o order_n of_o thing_n be_v regular_a and_o simple_a and_o that_o the_o deformity_n of_o this_o present_a earth_n as_o it_o appear_v all_o break_a and_o its_o incommodiousness_n show_v that_o the_o present_a state_n of_o it_o be_v not_o original_a nor_o dispose_v according_a to_o the_o law_n and_o order_n of_o gravity_n and_o he_o intimate_v that_o in_o the_o primigenious_a mass_n the_o earth_n must_v have_v hold_v the_o low_a place_n and_o the_o other_o element_n their_o proper_a seat_n according_a to_o the_o say_a order_n and_o as_o he_o represent_v in_o his_o hypothesis_n now_o the_o true_a doctrine_n as_o i_o conceive_v of_o the_o site_n and_o figure_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o other_o element_n run_v thus_o although_o the_o earth_n be_v a_o terminate_v body_n and_o seem_v to_o have_v a_o certain_a figure_n yet_o the_o element_n have_v no_o proper_a and_o natural_a figure_n caelum_fw-la as_o aristotle_n have_v true_o say_v because_o if_o they_o have_v a_o natural_a form_n they_o will_v be_v corrupt_v if_o they_o lose_v it_o but_o beside_o this_o reason_n of_o aristotle_n there_o be_v another_o viz._n that_o to_o each_o similar_v body_n any_o figure_n agree_v it_o have_v none_o proper_a to_o it_o nor_o do_v this_o hold_n only_o in_o the_o four_o element_n but_o in_o all_o similar_v body_n and_o it_o therefore_o agree_v to_o the_o element_n because_o they_o be_v similar_v and_o the_o reason_n why_o similar_v body_n have_v no_o proper_a figure_n be_v because_o a_o figure_n be_v not_o necessary_a to_o they_o a_o figure_n be_v constitute_v by_o nature_n for_o action_n as_o a_o arm_n have_v such_o a_o figure_n because_o by_o the_o benefit_n of_o that_o figure_n the_o arm_n exercise_v its_o action_n and_o by_o this_o figure_n the_o arm_n be_v a_o arm_n and_o such_o a_o figure_n be_v lose_v it_o be_v no_o long_o a_o arm_n so_o in_o artificial_a thing_n a_o hatchet_n be_v therefore_o a_o hatchet_n because_o it_o have_v such_o a_o figure_n which_o be_v lose_v the_o hatchet_n be_v no_o long_o a_o hatchet_n but_o only_a iron_n and_o matter_n because_o the_o action_n of_o the_o hatchet_n flow_v from_o the_o figure_n which_o be_v to_o cut_v a_o figure_n be_v therefore_o necessary_a in_o compound_a thing_n but_o not_o in_o similar_v because_o the_o use_n of_o similar_n be_v not_o any_o operation_n but_o only_o this_o that_o they_o be_v the_o matter_n of_o other_o now_o though_o the_o element_n have_v not_o a_o proper_a figure_n yet_o of_o necessity_n their_o place_n must_v be_v circular_a and_o of_o a_o spherical_a figure_n as_o aristotle_n say_v by_o reason_n of_o the_o extreme_a evenness_n of_o all_o their_o part_n so_o that_o a_o element_n be_v all_o even_n it_o have_v not_o whereby_o angle_n shall_v be_v make_v and_o this_o must_v be_v understand_v of_o pure_a element_n or_o such_o as_o continue_v fluid_a but_o our_o earth_n of_o which_o mountain_n be_v make_v be_v not_o pure_a elementary_a earth_n or_o a_o simple_a body_n but_o be_v a_o certain_a compound_v and_o aggregate_v of_o many_o body_n and_o when_o a_o man_n consider_v the_o infinite_a variety_n of_o soil_n and_o fossils_n of_o which_o it_o consist_v and_o their_o differ_a degree_n of_o gravity_n he_o can_v imagine_v that_o a_o even_a surface_n can_v be_v thence_o make_v even_o in_o that_o respect_n without_o consider_v any_o protrusive_a force_n of_o a_o inward_a mover_n and_o whatsoever_o even_o rotundity_n the_o earth_n be_v to_o have_v according_a to_o its_o natural_a constitution_n since_o it_o agree_v most_o to_o the_o advantage_n of_o thing_n that_o certain_a part_n of_o the_o earth_n shall_v be_v high_a raise_v other_o lie_v low_a it_o be_v fit_a they_o shall_v have_v such_o a_o site_n that_o so_o through_o the_o differ_a complexion_n of_o divers_a part_n of_o the_o earth_n the_o diversity_n of_o mineral_n plant_n and_o animal_n may_v arise_v and_o since_o thing_n be_v first_o institute_v by_o god_n not_o only_o for_o have_v a_o be_v in_o themselves_o but_o that_o they_o may_v be_v the_o principle_n of_o other_o therefore_o they_o be_v produce_v in_o a_o perfect_a state_n in_o which_o they_o may_v be_v the_o principle_n of_o other_o and_o therefore_o as_o philo_n say_v opif._n the_o world_n be_v create_v in_o its_o perfection_n and_o not_o leave_v crude_a and_o all_o plant_n in_o their_o first_o rise_n be_v lade_v with_o their_o fruit_n otherwise_o than_o now_o for_o now_o all_o thing_n be_v generate_v in_o their_o season_n and_o not_o all_o together_o so_o macrobius_n say_v 16._o if_o we_o grant_v particular_a thing_n to_o have_v have_v a_o beginning_n nature_n first_o form_v all_o animal_n perfect_a and_o then_o give_v they_o a_o perpetual_a law_n that_o they_o shall_v continue_v a_o sucession_n by_o propagation_n and_o so_o plutarch_n say_v it_o be_v probable_a that_o the_o first_o generation_n be_v entire_a and_o accomplish_v from_o the_o earth_n by_o the_o virtue_n and_o perfection_n of_o the_o maker_n without_o have_v need_n of_o those_o instrument_n and_o vessel_n which_o nature_n have_v since_o invent_v and_o make_v in_o female_n which_o bear_v and_o engender_v by_o reason_n of_o its_o impotence_n and_o imbecility_n if_o we_o consider_v animal_n in_o which_o nature_n be_v much_o more_o polite_a than_o in_o form_v this_o compost_n of_o the_o earth_n we_o see_v how_o little_a the_o common_a law_n of_o gravity_n and_o even'ness_n in_o figure_n be_v observe_v in_o they_o what_o mountain_n seem_v

think_v it_o as_o easy_a to_o show_v analagous_n use_v in_o the_o various_a site_n and_o part_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o so_o as_o to_o gravity_n in_o animal_n why_o be_v the_o upper_a jaw_n place_v
