solid_a single_a or_o double_a that_o be_v between_z two_o in_o the_o first_o place_n i_o may_v here_o question_v whether_o a_o soft_a or_o liquid_a body_n be_v apt_a to_o make_v a_o sound_n since_o aristotle_n in_o his_o 26._o t._n de_fw-fr anim._n chap._n 8._o state_n a_o sound_n to_o be_v the_o percussion_n or_o collision_n of_o two_o solid_a hard_a body_n and_o particular_o that_o soft_a

sound_n throw_v one_o pack_v of_o woollen_a cloth_n upon_o the_o other_o and_o hearken_v whether_o they_o make_v no_o sound_n ii_o next_o let_v we_o inquire_v whether_o a_o sound_n be_v a_o quality_n inherent_a in_o the_o solid_a body_n or_o in_o the_o air_n not_o in_o the_o solid_a body_n because_o they_o give_v very_o little_a sound_n in_o a_o small_a compass_n of_o air_n and_o consequent_o none_o without_o air_n wherefore_o it_o must_v rather_o inhere_o in_o the_o air_n i_o prove_v it_o a_o sound_n be_v a_o passion_n but_o it_o be_v the_o air_n that_o receive_v this_o passion_n

up_o by_o one_o body_n as_o when_o we_o make_v a_o noise_n by_o switch_v the_o air_n we_o hear_v a_o sound_n be_v make_v in_o the_o air_n the_o definition_n of_o a_o sound_a assert_n it_o to_o be_v a_o violent_a and_o sudden_a concussion_n for_o if_o you_o do_v concuss_v the_o air_n although_o pen_v between_o two_o hard_a body_n soft_o and_o retorted_o it_o will_v make_v no_o sensible_a sound_n because_o the_o air_n get_v out_o from_o between_o they_o by_o press_v gradual_o upon_o its_o adjacent_a part_n without_o be_v pluft_v up_o or_o be_v keep_v in_o by_o they_o and_o so_o escape_v make_v a_o noise_n but_o when_o it_o be_v sudden_o and_o violent_o press_v upon_o by_o one_o or_o two_o body_n it_o be_v force_v to_o pluffe_n up_o because_o the_o adjacent_a air_n do_v not_o give_v way_n fast_o enough_o the_o air_n be_v pluft_v up_o or_o concuss_a be_v continuate_v to_o the_o ear_n by_o reason_n that_o one_o part_n pluffe_v up_o another_o &_o so_o the_o part_n of_o air_n lie_v close_o in_o continuation_n one_o upon_o the_o other_o be_v soon_o pluft_v up_o &_o continuate_v to_o the_o auditory_a air_n within_o the_o ear_n which_o it_o move_v likewise_o with_o the_o same_o degree_n and_o property_n of_o pluff_v as_o the_o degree_n of_o percussion_n be_v first_o make_v upon_o it_o by_o the_o property_n of_o the_o percutient_fw-la how_o air_n be_v pluft_v up_o may_v easy_o be_v aprehend_v viz._n by_o two_o body_n sudden_o &_o violent_o squeeze_v out_o the_o air_n which_o be_v between_o they_o by_o their_o sudden_a collision_n against_o one_o another_o for_o instance_n clap_v your_o hand_n hard_o together_o &_o you_o may_v by_o the_o subtle_a feel_n of_o your_o face_n perceive_v the_o air_n pluft_v up_o from_o between_o they_o or_o else_o a_o pluff_a may_v also_o be_v cause_v by_o a_o smart_a impulsion_n of_o the_o part_n of_o air_n upon_o one_o another_o by_o a_o stick_n board_n or_o any_o other_o single_a continuous_a body_n the_o reason_n of_o a_o sound_v celerity_n and_o extent_n of_o motion_n to_o such_o a_o improportionable_a distance_n you_o may_v apprehend_v from_o the_o cause_n of_o the_o swiftness_n of_o the_o light_n diffusion_n treat_v of_o in_o the_o forego_n chapt._n but_o withal_o mark_v that_o light_n and_o diffusion_n of_o colour_n be_v by_o far_o swift_a than_o sound_n because_o a_o flame_n be_v a_o most_o subtle_a and_o forcible_a body_n do_v much_o swift_a obtend_v the_o air_n beside_o the_o air_n do_v rather_o accur_v in_o a_o obtension_n to_o prevent_v its_o disruption_n then_o recede_v whereas_o in_o make_v a_o sound_a the_o air_n be_v long_o in_o be_v obtrude_v or_o pluft_v away_o from_o the_o percutient_n because_o it_o retrocede_v and_o the_o force_n percuss_v do_v not_o compass_v it_o circular_o from_o all_o side_n but_o advers_o only_a hence_o it_o be_v that_o at_o a_o distance_n we_o see_v a_o hatchet_n drive_v into_o wood_n long_o before_o we_o hear_v the_o sound_n of_o it_o or_o that_o we_o see_v

vii_o it_o be_v also_o certain_a that_o god_n as_o he_o be_v creator_n and_o king_n of_o and_o over_o all_o his_o creature_n do_v require_v obedience_n from_o they_o whereby_o they_o shall_v express_v their_o subjection_n humility_n and_o love_n to_o he_o wherefore_o no_o doubt_n he_o impose_v some_o one_o commandment_n upon_o they_o which_o will_v be_v sufficient_a to_o testify_v their_o
