you; and if the thing falling were a light matter, as a feather,
<
lb

or a lock of wool, the retardation would be very great, but in
<
lb

an heavy ſtone is very exceeding ſmall. </
s

<
s

even now did ſay, that the force of the moſt impetuous wind
<
lb

ſufficeth not to ſtir a great ſtone from its place; now do but
<
lb

ſider what the calmer air is able to do, being encountred by a

ſtone no more ſwift than the whole ſhip. </

ſuch an impediment; like as I know, that you will grant to me,
<

that if the air ſhould move with the ſame velocity that the ſhip

place it is manifeſt, that theſe two, I mean the circular, about

<
lb

ries, or deſtructive to one another, or incompatible. </

<
s

<
lb

as to the moveable, it hath no repugnance at all to ſuch motions,

for you your ſelf have already confeſt the repugnance to be

gainſt the motion which removeth from the centre, and the
<

nation to be towards the motion which approacheth to the centre.

any cauſe for the diminiſhing in it the faculty impreſſed. </

<
lb

aſmuch as the moving cauſe is not one alone, which it hath
<
lb

tained by the new operation of retardation; but that they are
<
lb

two, diſtinct from each other, of which, the gravity attends
<
lb

ly to the drawing of the moveable towards the centre, and the
