that_o the_o part_n of_o the_o subtle_a matter_n tend_v to_o different_a side_n can_v only_o compress_v the_o gross_a body_n they_o convey_v since_o that_o body_n can_v go_v several_a different_a

to_o move_v in_o a_o right_a line_n and_o if_o they_o have_v less_o tendency_n they_o be_v force_v to_o yield_v to_o those_o that_o have_v more_o and_o consequent_o to_o approach_v the_o centre_n of_o the_o vortex_n that_o be_v in_o short_a they_o must_v be_v heavyer_n as_o they_o be_v more_o gross_a and_o solid_a but_o when_o solid_a body_n be_v very_o remote_a from_o the_o centre_n of_o the_o

so_o much_o more_o motion_n as_o they_o have_v more_o solidity_n because_o they_o go_v as_o swift_a as_o the_o subtle_a matter_n in_o which_o they_o swim_v and_o so_o they_o have_v more_o force_n to_o continue_v their_o direct_a motion_n wherefore_o gross_a body_n at_o a_o certain_a distance_n from_o the_o centre_n of_o the_o vortex_n be_v so_o much_o light_a as_o they_o be_v more_o solid_a this_o make_v it_o apparent_a that_o the_o earth_n be_v metallic_a towards_o the_o centre_n and_o not_o so_o solid_a about_o the_o circumference_n that_o water_n and_o air_n must_v remain_v in_o the_o
