1greater times.101 & 331It's more rational, that the Orbe containing and the Parts contained do move all about one Centre, than about divers.295PPASSIONS.Infinite Paſſions are perhaps but one onely.87PENDULUM, and Pendula.Pendula might have a perpetual Motion, impediments being removed.203The Pendulum hanging at a longer thread maketh its Vibrations more ſeldome than the Pendulum hanging at a ſhorter.206The Vibrations of the ſame Pendulum are made with the ſame frequency, whether they be ſmall or great.206The cauſe which impedeth the Pendulum, and reduceth it to reſt.206The thread or Chain to which the Pendulum is faſtened maketh an Arch, and doth not ſtretch it ſelf ſtraight out in its Vibrations.207Two particular notable Accidents in the Pendulaand their Vibrations.411PERIPATETICK, &c.Peripatetick Phyloſophy unchangeable.42A brave reſolution of a certain PeripatetickPhiloſopher to prove the Right Line to be the ſhorteſt of all Lines.182The Paralogiſme of the ſaid Peripatetick who proveth Ignotum per ignotius.183The Diſcourſes of Peripateticks full of Errors and Contradictions.376The Peripateticks perſecuted Galileo out of envy to his happy Diſcoveries in Phyloſophy.427The Peripateticks in defect of Reaſons repair to Scripture for Arguments againſt their Adverſaries.429PHYLOSOPHERS.It is not juſt, that thoſe who never. Phyloſophate, ſhould uſurp the title of Phyloſophers.96PHYLOSOPHY.The Diſputes and Contradictions of Phyloſophersmay conduce to the benefit of Phyloſophy.25A cunning way to gather Phyloſophy out of any Book whatſoever.92PLANETS.The approximation and receſſion of the three ſuperiour Planets importeth double the Suns diſtance.299The difference of the Tlanets apparent Magnitude leſſe in Saturn than in Jupiter, and leſſe in Jupiter than in Mars, and why.299The Station, Direction, and Retrogradation of the Planets is known in relation to the fixed Stars.347The particular Structures of the Orbes of the Planets not yet well reſolved.416The Planets places may more certainly be aſſigred by this Doctrine, than by that of Ptolomies great Almageſt.469PLATO.Plato held, that Humane underſtanding pertook of Divinity, becauſe it underſtood Numbers.3Plato his Ænigma, and the Interpretation of it.498POLE.The invariable Elevation of the Pole urged as an Argument againſt the Annual Motion.338An Example to prove that the Altitude of the Pole ought not to vary by means of the Earths Annual Motion.340POWER.Of an infinite Power one would think a greater part ſhould rather be imployed than a leſſer.105PRINCIPLES.By denying Principles in Sciences, any Paradox may be maintained.28Contrary Principles cannot naturally reſide in the ſame Subject.211PROJECT, &c.The Project, according to Ariſtotle, is not moved by virtue impreſſed, but by the Medium.130Operation of the Medium in continuing the Motion of the Project.131Many Experiments and Reaſons againſt the Motions of Projects aſſigned by Ariſtotle.132The Medium doth impede and not conferre the
