moveth, the ſtone which doth alſo move with the ſame velocity;

ſo that the air is not to conferr a new motion upon it, but onely

to maintain, or to ſpeak better, not to hinder the motion already

acquired: you would drive the ſtone with a ſtrange and

natural motion, and we deſire to conſerve it in its natural. </

you would produce a more pertinent experiment, you ſhould ſay,

that it is obſerved, if not with the eye of the forehead, yet with

that of the mind, what would evene, if an eagle that is carried by

lb

the courſe of the wind, ſhould let a ſtone fall from its talons;
<
lb

which, in regard that at its being let go, it went along with the
