from (A) the place of its creation with command to go to its
place of designed residence not rearer nor farther from the
center of its revolution the semidiameter of a circle --
(CD) therefore it must needs fall in the pricked line (A) as bodies
use to do towards their proper center of gravity. now when it
comes to (D) it can no longer proceed in a straight line towards
(E) for it would go farther of center (G) yn its allowed
by the afovesiad command or Law of nature. Therefore it must
begin to turn about (like a pendulum) towards (F) yet it
may keep its Due distance: and having aqcuited velocity (to G.
to H, to I, K, L, M, k:) and there being no natural imped:
:iment, it must continue. the same swiftness without encre:

for ever unless stopped by a supernatural cause: how large
the circle of revolution thall be is accordinf to yt Distance's
Lenth which is appointed to the fall besides the center or a lenth
of the Line (CD) how Swift its motion shall be in a revolution
is accorted to the length of the line (AD). If it must be very S:
wift of a line (or the distance of the places of creation & resi
dence) must be longer Bec: by a greater Length it will acce
lerate into greater Degrees which it hath attained, there-
being Impediment.
This is illustrated by the falling of a
bullet from on high gor if in the first
Second of time it falls one yard in
next it will fall 3 yards; in the next

gumenting its velocity by the odd num
bers as to the turning round about its
own axis it may be apprehended by the
turning or running of a bowl: this

so is if as in ye former diagram; the
Globe (A) be let fall to (D) in a trolling motion, it will
contunye to be same trollinf round ye line of its own revolu
tion about ye Center (C) it remains only to show how the
sun in the center of the universe turns round it self with
out any line of revolution about another Center. this is
easy to conceive by supposing it created at (B) and in dro
pped in a troll and determined directly to the center (C)
without any such line of distance as (DG) for in when its
