14 Naturall Phylosophy chap. 4th

from ye center of ye motion: so moves a wheel a pendu-
lum. (ie a bullet hung by a line when 'tis put a swin-
ging) so move ye planets about ye Earth; and ye Earth (or
terragneous globe) probably, about its own Axis.
2 mixt motion is clone by a line partly right, and a patrly circu-
lar, such is ye motion of an arrow shot straight for a wh-
ile, and yn it turns down in a peice of a circle towards the
Earth.

{Simple right up or down or circular}
{or mist ye lines of Locomotion are}
2 In respect of ye principle from whence ye motion doth
arise, and so it is either naturall, violent or mixt.
Naturall, as when ye principle of motion in within ye body,
as ye descent of a stone; yt is from some Natural power;
either active, whereby it contends or endeavours down-wards;
(as ye ancients will have it) or passive, whereby it is capa-
ble to be attracted to ye Earth (as ye latter men would have it)
2 violent, when ye principle is out of ye Body, as when a
stone is thrown upwards.
3 mixt when addition is mate to ye force of nature. as when
a stone is thrown down-wards.
The Opposite to motion is quiet or rest, is "ch" in respect to motion
1 is Ending before, and so 'tis privation of motion.
2 beginning after it, and yn 'tis ye perfettion thereof.
This resolves a doubt whether rest be a positive or privative
thing. {all motion, nature, force, or both commands}
{opposite rest before and after stands.}
as to ye fifth affection of naturall body, Duality, (as
some would have it reconed) 'tis various and consequent
upon ye particular nature of ye severall species, rather
yn one, or from ye generall nature of body: utherefore
belong to ye Speciall part of Physicks whither we shall
refer it.

Cap:4:
of the speciall part of Physicks and first of ye
Heavens in Generall.
