1mean, that as they move to the centre of the Earth, they move to
their
Whole, and to their Univerſal Mother: and we are ſtill
ther
ſo free, that we will ſuffer our ſelves to be perſwaded, that

their
natural inſtinct is, not to go towards the centre of the Earth,
but
towards that of the Univerſe; which we know not where to
find
, or whether it be or no; and were it granted to be, it is but
an
imaginary point, and a nothing without any quality.
As to
what
Simplicius ſaid laſt, that the contending whether the parts
of
the Sun, Moon, or other cœleſtial Body, ſeparated from their
Whole, ſhould naturally return to it, is a vanity, for that the caſe
is
impoſſible; it being clear by the Demonſtrations of Ariſtotle,
that
the cœleſtial Bodies are impaſſible, impenetrable,

ble
, &c. I anſwer, that none of the conditions, whereby
tle
diſtinguiſheth the Cœleſtial Bodies from Elementary, hath
ther
foundation than what he deduceth from the diverſity of the
natural
motion of thoſe and theſe; inſomuch that it being
ed
, that the circular motion is peculiar to Cœleſtial Bodies, and
affirmed
, that it is agreeable to all Bodies naturally moveable, it
is
behoofull upon neceſſary conſequence to ſay, either that the
attributes
of generable, or ingenerable, alterable, or unalterable,
partable
, or unpartable, &c. equally and commonly agree with
all
worldly bodies, namely, as well to the Cœleſtial as to the
lementary
; or that Ariſtotle hath badly and erroneouſly
ced
thoſe from the circular motion, which he hath aſſigned to
leſtial
Bodies.
