in as much more time as it was in coming by the inclining plane, it
<
lb
/>
would paſs double the ſpace of the plane inclined: namely (for
<
lb
/>
example) if the ball had paſt the plane D A in an hour,
<
lb
/>
tinuing to move uniformly with that degree of velocity which it
<
lb
/>
is found to have in its arriving at the term A, it ſhall paſs in an
<
lb
/>
hour a ſpace double the length D A; and becauſe (as we have
<
lb
/>
ſaid) the degrees of velocity acquired in the points B and A, by
<
lb
/>
the moveables that depart from any point taken in the
<
lb
/>
lar C B, and that deſcend, the one by the inclined plane, the
<
lb
/>
ther by the ſaid perpendicular, are always equal: therefore the
<
lb
/>
cadent by the perpendicular may depart from a term ſo near to B,
<
lb
/>
that the degree of velocity acquired in B, would not ſuffice (ſtill
<
lb
/>
maintaining the ſame) to conduct the moveable by a ſpace
<
lb
/>
ble the length of the plane inclined in a year, nor in ten, no nor
<
lb
/>
in a hundred. </
s

<
s
>We may therefore conclude, that if it be true,
<
lb
/>
that according to the ordinary courſe of nature a moveable, all
<
lb
/>
external and accidental impediments removed, moves upon an
<
lb
/>
clining plane with greater and greater tardity, according as the
<
lb
/>
inclination ſhall be leſs; ſo that in the end the tardity comes to be
<
lb
/>
infinite, which is, when the inclination concludeth in, and joyneth
<
lb
/>
to the horizontal plane; and if it be true likewiſe, that the
<
lb
/>
gree of velocity acquired in ſome point of the inclined plane, is
<
lb
/>
equal to that degree of velocity which is found to be in the
<
lb
/>
able that deſcends by the perpendicular, in the point cut by a
<
lb
/>
parallel to the Horizon, which paſſeth by that point of the
<
lb
/>
ning plane; it muſt of neceſſity be granted, that the cadent
<
lb
/>
parting from reſt, paſſeth thorow all the infinite degrees of
<
lb
/>
dity, and that conſequently, to acquire a determinate degree of
<
lb
/>
velocity, it is neceſſary that it move firſt by right lines,
<
lb
/>
ing by a ſhort or long ſpace, according as the velocity to be
<
lb
/>
red, ought to be either leſs or greater, and according as the plane
<
lb
/>
on which it deſcendeth is more or leſs inclined; ſo that a plane
<
lb
/>
may be given with ſo ſmall inclination, that to acquire in it the
<
lb
/>
aſſigned degree of velocity, it muſt firſt move in a very great ſpace,
<
lb
/>
and take a very long time; whereupon in the horizontal plane, any
<
lb
/>
how little ſoever velocity, would never be naturally acquired,
<
lb
/>
ſince that the moveable in this caſe will never move: but the </

motion by the horizontal line, which is neither declined or
<
lb
/>
ned, is a circular motion about the centre: therefore the
<
lb

lar motion is never acquired naturally, without the right motion
<
lb

precede it; but being once acquired, it will continue perpetually
<
lb

with uniform velocity. </
