<

the accidents of a moveable upon two different Planes; and that

in the inclining plane, the grave moveable doth ſpontaneouſly
<
lb

ſcend, and goeth continually accelerating, and that to retain it in
<
lb

reſt, force muſt be uſed therein: but that on the aſcending plane,
<
lb

there is required a force to thruſt it forward, and alſo to ſtay it in
<
lb
/>
reſt, and that the motion impreſſed goeth continually diminiſhing,
<
lb

till that in the end it cometh to nothing. </
s

<
s
>You ſay yet farther,
<
lb

that in both the one and the other caſe, there do ariſe differences
<
lb

from the planes having a greater or leſs declivity or acclivity; ſo
<
lb

that the greater inclination is attended with the greater velocity;
<
lb

and contrariwiſe, upon the aſcending plane, the ſame moveable
<
lb

thrown with the ſame force, moveth a greater diſtance, by how
<
lb

much the elevation is leſs. </
