for if I ſhould ſay that Nature in Univerſal may have a

ters, there would be alſo a thouſand motions upwards, and

>Again he makes as hath been ſaid, a ſimple motion,

and a mixt motion, calling ſimple, the circular and right; and

mixt, the compound of them two: of natural bodies he calls ſome
<
lb

ſimple (namely thoſe that have a natural principle to ſimple
<
lb

tion) and others compound: and ſimple motions he attributes
<
lb
/>
to ſimple bodies, and the compounded to the compound; but by
<
lb
/>
compound motion he doth no longer underſtand the mixt of right
<
lb
/>
and circular, which may be in the World; but introduceth a mixt
<
lb
/>
motion as impoſſible, as it is impoſſible to mixe oppoſite motions
<
lb
/>
made in the ſame right line, ſo as to produce from them a motion
<
lb
/>
partly upwards, partly downwards; and, to moderate ſuch an
<
lb

ſurdity, and impoſſibility, he aſſerts that ſuch mixt bodies move

<

according to the ſimple part predominant: which neceſſitates

others to ſay, that even the motion made by the ſame right line is
<
lb

ſometimes ſimple, and ſometimes alſo compound: ſo that the

plicity of the motion, is no longer dependent onely on the
