we have now therefore exhibit the species or simple element of the motion  tendency and active power which be most universal in nature and no small  portion of natural science have be thus sketch out we do not however deny that  other instance can perhaps be add and our division change accord to some more  natural order of thing and also reduce to a less number in which respect we do  not allude to any abstract classification as if one be to say that body desire  the preservation exaltation propagation or fruition of their nature or that  motion tend to the preservation and benefit either of the universe as in the  case of those of resistance and connection or of extensive whole as in the  case of those of the great congregation revolution and abhorrence of motion or  of particular from as in the case of the other for although such remark be  just yet unless they terminate in matter and construction accord to true  definition they be speculative and of little use in the meantime our  classification will suffice and be of much use in the consideration of the  predominance of power and examine the wrestle instance which constitute our  present subject for of the motion here lie down some be quite invincible some  more powerful than other which they confine check and modify other extend to a  great distance other be more immediate and swift other strengthen increase and  accelerate the rest the motion of resistance be most adamantine and invincible  we be yet in doubt whether such be the nature of that of connection for we can  with certainty determine whether there be a vacuum either extensive or  intermix with matter of one thing however we be satisfy that the reason assign  by Leucippus and Democritus for the introduction of a vacuum namely that the  same body can not otherwise comprehend and fill great and less space be false  for there be clear a fold of matter by which it wrap and unwraps itself in  space within certain limit without the intervention of a vacuum nor be there  two thousand time more of vacuum in air than in gold as there shall be on this  hypothesis a fact demonstrate by the very powerful energy of fluid which will  otherwise float like fine dust in vacuo and many other proof the other motion  direct and be direct by each other accord to their strength quantity  excitement emission or the assistance or impediment they meet with for  instance some arm magnet hold and support iron of sixty time their own weight  so far do the motion of lesser congregation predominate over that of the great  but if the weight be increase it yield a lever of a certain strength will  raise a give weight and so far the motion of liberty predominate over that of  the great congregation but if the weight be great the former motion yield a  piece of leather stretch to a certain point do not break and so far the motion  of continuity predominate over that of tension but if the tension be great the  leather break and the motion of continuity yield a certain quantity of water  flow through a chink and so far the motion of great congregation predominate  over that of continuity but if the chink be small it yield if a musket be  charge with ball and powder sulphur alone and fire be apply the ball be not  discharge in which case the motion of great congregation overcome that of  matter but when gunpowder be use the motion of matter in the sulphur  predominate be assist by that motion and the motion of avoidance in the nitre  and so of the rest for wrestle instance which show the predominance of power  and in what manner and proportion they predominate and yield must be search  for with active and industrious diligence the method and nature of this yield  must also be diligent examine as for instance whether the motion complete  cease or exert themselves but be constrain for in the body with which we be  acquaint there be no real but a apparent rest either in the whole or in part  this apparent rest be occasion either by equilibrium or the absolute  predominance of motion by equilibrium as in the scale of the balance which  rest if the weight be equal by predominance as in perforate jar in which the  water rest and be prevent from fall by the predominance of the motion of  connection it be however to be observe as we have say before how far the yield  motion exert themselves for if a man be hold stretch out on the ground against  his will with arm and leg bind down or otherwise confine and yet strive with  all his power to get up the struggle be not the less although ineffectual the  real state of the case namely whether the yield motion be as it be annihilate  by the predominance or there be rather a continue although a invisible effort  will perhaps appear in the concurrence of motion although it escape our notice  in their conflict for instance let a experiment be make with musket whether a  musket ball at its utmost range in a straight line or as it be common call  point blank strike with less force when project upward where the motion of the  blow be simple than when project downward where the motion of gravity concur  with the blow the rule of such instance of predominance as occur shall be  collect such as the follow the more general the desire advantage be the strong  will be the motion the motion of connection for instance which relate to the  intercourse of the part of the universe be more powerful than that of gravity  which relate to the intercourse of dense body only again the desire of a  private good do not in general prevail against that of a public one except  where the quantity be small will that such be the case in civil matter XLIX in  the twenty five rank of prerogative instance we will place suggest instance  such as suggest or point out that which be advantageous to mankind for bear  power and knowledge in themselves exalt rather than enrich human nature we  must therefore select from the general store such thing as be most useful to  mankind we shall have a better opportunity of discuss these when we treat of  the application to practice beside in the work of interpretation we leave room  on every subject for the human or optative chart for it be a part of science  to make judicious inquiry and wish l in the twenty six rank of prerogative  instance we will place the general useful instance they be such as relate to  various point and frequent occur spare by that mean considerable labour and  new trial the proper place for treat of instrument and contrivance will be  that in which we speak of the application to practice and the method of  experiment all that have hitherto be ascertain and make use of will be  describe in the particular history of each be at present we will subjoin a few  general example of the instance in question man act then upon natural body  beside mere bring they together or remove they by seven principal method by  the exclusion of all that impede and disturb by compression extension  agitation and the like by heat and cold by detention in a suitable place by  check or direct motion by peculiar harmony by a seasonable and proper  alternation series and succession of all these or at least of some of they  with regard to the first common air which be always at hand and force its  admission as also the ray of the heavenly body create much disturbance  whatever therefore tend to exclude they may well be consider as general useful  the substance and thickness of vessel in which body be place when prepare for  operation may be refer to this head so also may the accurate method of close  vessel by consolidation or the lutum prudence as the chemist call it the  exclusion of air by mean of liquid at the extremity be also very useful as  when they pour oil on wine or the juice of herb which by spread itself upon  the top like a cover preserve they uninjured from the air powder also be  serviceable for although they contain air mix up in they yet they ward off the  power of the mass of circumambient air which be see in the preservation of  grape and other fruit in sand or flour wax honey pitch and other resinous body  be well use in order to make the exclusion more perfect and to remove the air  and celestial influence we have sometime make a experiment by place a vessel  or other body in quicksilver the most dense of all substance capable of be  pour round other grotto and subterraneous cave be of great use in keep off the  effect of the sun and the predatory action of air and in the north of Germany  be use for granary the deposit of body at the bottom of water may be also  mention here and I remember have hear of some bottle of wine be let down into  a deep well in order to cool they but leave there by chance carelessness and  forgetfulness for several year and then take out by which mean the wine not  only escape become flat or dead but be much more excellent in flavor arise as  it appear from a more complete mixture of its part but if the case require  that body shall be sink to the bottom of water as in river or the sea and yet  shall not touch the water nor be enclose in seal vessel but surround only by  air it will be right to use that vessel which have be sometime employ under  water above ship that have sink in order to enable the diverse to remain below  and breathe occasional by turn it be of the follow nature a hollow tub of  metal be from and sink so as to have its bottom parallel with the surface of  the water it thus carry down with it to the bottom of the sea all the air  contain in the tub it stand upon three foot like a tripod be of rather less  height than a man so that when the diver be in want of breath he can put his  head into the hollow of the tub breathe and then continue his work we hear  that some sort of boat or vessel have now be invent capable of carry man some  distance under water any body however can easy be suspend under some such  vessel as we have mention which have occasion our remark upon the experiment  another advantage of the careful and hermetical close of body be this not only  the admission of external air be prevent of which we have treat but the spirit  of body also be prevent from make its escape which be a internal operation for  any one operate on natural body must be certain as to their quantity and that  nothing have evaporate or escape since profound alteration take place in body  when be prevent the loss or escape of any portion while nature prevent their  annihilation with regard to this circumstance a false idea have prevail which  if true will make we despair of preserve quantity without diminution namely  that the spirit of body and air when rarefy by a great degree of heat can be  so keep in by be enclose in any vessel as not to escape by the small poor man  be lead into this idea by the common experiment of a cup invert over water  with a candle or piece of light paper in it by which the water be draw up and  of those cup which when heat draw up the flesh for they think that in each  experiment the rarefy air escape and that its quantity be therefore diminish  by which mean the water or flesh rise by the motion of connection this be  however most incorrect for the air be not diminish in quantity but contract in  dimension nor do this motion of the rise of the water begin till the flame be  extinguish or the air cool so that physician place cold sponge moisten with  water on the cup in order to increase their attraction there be therefore no  reason why man shall fear much from the ready escape of air for although it be  true that the most solid body have their poor yet neither air nor spirit ready  suffer itself to be rarefy to such a extreme degree just as water will not  escape by a small chink with regard to the second of the seven above mention  method we must especial observe that compression and similar violence have a  most powerful effect either in produce locomotion and other motion of the same  nature as may be observe in engine and projectile or in destroy the organic  body and those quality which consist entire in motion for all life and every  description of flame and ignition be destroy by compression which also injure  and derange every machine or in destroy those quality which consist in  position and a coarse difference of part as in colour for the colour of a  flower when whole differ from that it present when bruise and the same may be  observe of whole and powder amber or in taste for the taste of a pear before  it be ripe and of the same pear when bruise and soften be different since it  become perceptible more sweet but such violence be of little avail in the more  noble transformation and change of homogeneous body for they do not by such  mean acquire any constant and permanent new state but one that be transitory  and always struggle to return to its former habit and freedom it will not  however be useless to make some more diligent experiment with regard to this  whether for instance the condensation of a perfect homogeneous body such as  air water oil and the like or their rarefaction when effect by violence can  become permanent fix and as it be so change as to become a nature this may at  first be try by simple perseverance and then by mean of help and harmony it  may ready have be attempt if we have but think of it when we condense water as  be mention above by hammer and compression until it burst out for we ought to  have leave the flatten globe untouched for some day and then to have draw off  the water in order to try whether it will have immediate occupy the same  dimension as it do before the condensation if it have not do so either  immediate or soon afterward the condensation will have appear to have be  render constant if not it will have appear that a restitution take place and  that the condensation have be transitory something of the same kind may have  be try with the glass egg the egg shall have be seal up sudden and firm after  a complete exhaustion of the air and shall have be allow to remain so for some  day and it may then have be try whether on open the aperture the air will be  draw in with a hiss noise or whether as much water will be draw into it when  immerse as will have be draw into it at first if it have not continue seal for  it be probable or at least worth make the experiment that this may have happen  or may happen because perseverance have a similar effect upon body which be a  little less homogeneous a stick bend together for some time do not rebound  which be not owe to any loss of quantity in the wood during the time for the  same will occur after a large time in a plate of steel which do not evaporate  if the experiment of simple perseverance shall fail the matter shall not be  give up but other mean shall be employ for it will be no small advantage if  body can be endue with fix and constant nature by violence air can then be  convert into water by condensation with other similar effect for man be more  the master of violent motion than of any other mean the three of our seven  method be refer to that great practical engine of nature as well as of be cold  and heat here man power limp as it be with one leg for we possess the heat of  fire which be infinite more powerful and intense than that of the sun as it  reach we and that of animal but we want cold except such as we can obtain in  winter in cavern or by surround object with snow and ice which perhaps may be  compare in degree with the noontide heat of the sun in tropical country  increase by the reflection of mountain and wall for this degree of heat and  cold can be bear for a short period only by animal yet it be nothing compare  with the heat of a burn furnace or the correspond degree of cold everything  with we have a tendency to become rarefy dry and waste and nothing to become  condense or soft except by mixture and as it be spurious method instance of  cold therefore shall be search for most diligent such as may be find by expose  body upon building in a hard frost in subterraneous cavern by surround body  with snow and ice in deep place excavate for that purpose by let body down  into well by bury body in quicksilver and metal by immerse they in stream  which petrify wood by bury they in the earth which the Chinese be report to do  with their china mass of which make for that purpose be say to remain in the  ground for forty or fifty year and to be transmit to their heir as a sort of  artificial I and the like the condensation which take place in nature by mean  of cold shall also be investigate that by learning their cause they may be  introduce into the be such as be observe in the exudation of marble and stone  in the due upon the bread of glass in a room towards morning after a frosty  night in the formation and the gather of vapour under the earth into water  whence spring fountain and the like beside the substance which be cold to the  touch there be other which have also the effect of cold and condense they  appear however to act only upon the body of animal and scarce any further of  these we have many instance in medicine and plaster some condense the flesh  and tangible part such as astringent and inspissating medicine other the  spirit such as soporific there be two mode of condense the spirit by soporific  or provocative to sleep the one by calm the motion the other by expel the  spirit the violet dry rise lettuce and other benign or mild remedy by their  friendly and gentle cool vapour invite the spirit to unite and restrain their  violent and perturb motion rise water for instance apply to the nostril in  faint fit cause the resolve and relax spirit to recover themselves and as it  be cherish they but opiate and the like banish the spirit by their malignant  and hostile quality if they be apply therefore external the spirit immediate  quit the part and no long ready flow into it but if they be take internal  their vapour mount to the head expel in all direction the spirit contain in  the ventricle of the brain and since these spirit retreat but can escape they  consequent meet and be condense and be sometime complete extinguish and  suffocate although the same opiate when take in moderation by a secondary  accident the condensation which succeed their union strengthen the spirit  render they more robust and check their useless and inflammatory motion by  which mean they contribute not a little to the cure of disease and the  prolongation of life the preparation of body also for the reception of cold  shall not be omit such as that water a little warm be more easy freeze than  that which be quite cold and the like moreover since nature supply cold so  spare we must act like the apothecary who when they can obtain any simple  ingredient take a succedaneum or quid pro quo as they term it such as aloe for  xylobalsamum cassia for cinnamon in the same manner we shall look diligent  about we to ascertain whether there may be any substitute for cold that be to  say in what other manner condensation can be effect which be the peculiar  operation of cold such condensation appear hitherto to be of four kind only by  simple compression which be of little avail towards permanent condensation on  account of the elasticity of substance but may still however be of some  assistance by the contraction of the coarse after the escape or departure of  the fine part of a give body as be exemplify in induration by fire and the  repeat heat and extinguish of metal and the like by the cohesion of the most  solid homogeneous part of a give body which be previous separate and mix with  other less solid as in the return of sublimate mercury to its simple state in  which it occupy much less space than it do in powder and the same may be  observe of the cleanse of all metal from their dross by harmony or the  application of substance which condense by some latent power these harmony be  as yet but rare observe at which we can be surprise since there be little to  hope for from their investigation unless the discovery of from and  confirmation be attain with regard to animal body it be not to be question  that there be many internal and external medicine which condense by harmony as  we have before observe but this action be rare in inanimate body write account  as well as report have certain speak of a tree in one of the tercera or canary  island for I do not exact recollect which that drip perpetual so as to supply  the inhabitant in some degree with water and Paracelsus say that the herb call  ros sun be fill with due at noon while the sun give out its great heat and all  other herb around it be dry we treat both these account as fable they will  however if true be of the most important service and most worthy of  examination as to the honey-dew resemble manna which be find in may on the  leave of the oak we be of opinion that it be not condense by any harmony or  peculiarity of the oak leaf but that while it fall equal upon other leave it  be retain and continue on those of the oak because their texture be close and  not so porous as that of most of the other leave with regard to heat man  possess abundant mean and power but his observation and inquiry be defective  in some respect and those of the great importance notwithstanding the boast of  quack for the effect of intense heat be examine and observe while those of a  more gentle degree of heat be of the most frequent occurrence in the path of  nature be on that very account least know we see therefore the furnace which  be most esteem employ in increase the spirit of body to a great extent as in  the strong acid and some chemical oil while the tangible part be harden and  when the volatile part have escape become sometime fix the homogeneous part be  separate and the heterogeneous incorporate and agglomerate in a coarse lump  and what be chief worthy of remark the junction of compound body and the more  delicate conformation be destroy and confound but the operation of a less  violent heat shall be try and investigate by which more delicate mixture and  regular conformation may be produce and elicit accord to the example of nature  and in imitation of the effect of the sun which we have allude to in the  aphorism on the instance of alliance for the work of nature be carry on in  much small portion and in more delicate and vary position than those of fire  as we now employ it but man will then appear to have real augment his power  when the work of nature can be imitate in species perfect in power and vary in  quantity to which shall be add the acceleration in point of time rust for  instance be the result of a long process but crocus Mars be obtain immediate  and the same may be observe of natural verdigris and ceruse crystal be from  slow while glass be blow immediate stone increase slow while brick be bake  immediate etcetera in the meantime with regard to our present subject every  different species of heat shall with its peculiar effect be diligent collect  and inquire into that of the heavenly body whether their ray be direct reflect  or refract or condense by a burn glass that of lightning flame and ignite  charcoal that of fire of different material either open or confine straiten or  overflow qualify by the different from of the furnace excite by the bellows or  quiescent remove to a great or less distance or pass through different media  moist heat such as the balneum mariae and the dunghill the external and  internal heat of animal dry heat such as the heat of ash lime warm sand in  short the nature of every kind of heat and its degree we shall however  particular attend to the investigation and discovery of the effect and  operation of heat when make to approach and retire by degree regular  perjodical and by proper interval of space and time for this systematical  inequality be in truth the daughter of heaven and mother of generation nor can  any great result be expect from a vehement precipitate or desultory heat for  this be not only most evident in vegetable but in the womb of animal also  there arise a great inequality of heat from the motion sleep food and passion  of the female the same inequality prevail in those subterraneous bed where  metal and fossil be perpetual from which render yet more remarkable the  ignorance of some of the reform alchemist who imagine they can attain their  object by the equable heat of lamp or the like burn uniform let this suffice  concern the operation and effect of heat nor be it time for we to investigate  they through before the from and conformation of body have be further examine  and bring to light when we have determine upon our model we may seek apply and  arrange our instrument the four mode of action be by continuance the very  steward and almoner as it be of nature we apply the term continuance to the  abandonment of a body to itself for a observable time guard and protect in the  meanwhile from all external force for the internal motion then commence to  betray and exert itself when the external and adventitious be remove the  effect of time however be far more delicate than those of fire wine for  instance can be clarify by fire as it be by continuance nor be the ash produce  by combustion so fine as the particle dissolve or waste by the lapse of age  the incorporation and mixture which be hurry by fire be very inferior to those  obtain by continuance and the various conformation assume by body leave to  themselves such as moldiness etcetera be put a stop to by fire or a strong  heat it be not in the meantime unimportant to remark that there be a certain  degree of violence in the motion of body entire confine for the confinement  impede the proper motion of the body continuance in a open vessel therefore be  useful for separation and in one hermetical seal for mixture that in a vessel  partly close but admit the air for putrefaction but instance of the operation  and effect of continuance must be collect diligent from every quarter the  direction of motion which be the five method of action be of no small use we  adopt this term when speak of a body which meeting with another either arrest  repel allow or direct its original motion this be the case principal in the  figure and position of vessel a upright cone for instance promote the  condensation of vapour in alembic but when reverse as in invert vessel it  assist the refine of sugar sometime a curve from or one alternate contract and  dilate be require strainer may be range under this head where the oppose body  open a way for one portion of another substance and impede the rest nor be  this process or any other direction of motion carry on external only but  sometime by one body within another thus pebble be throw into water to collect  the muddy particle and syrup be refine by the white of a egg which glue the  gross particle together so as to facilitate their removal Telesius indeed rash  and ignorant enough attribute the formation of animal to this cause by mean of  the channel and fold of the womb he ought to have observe a similar formation  of the young in egg which have no wrinkle or inequality one may observe a real  result of this direction of motion in cast and model the effect produce by  harmony and aversion which be the six method be frequent bury in obscurity for  these occult and specific property as they be term the sympathy and antipathy  be for the most part but a corruption of philosophy nor can we from any great  expectation of the discovery of the harmony which exist between natural object  before that of their from and simple conformation for it be nothing more than  the symmetry between these from and conformation the great and more universal  species of harmony be not however so whole obscure and with they therefore we  must commence the first and principal distinction between they be this that  some body differ considerable in the abundance and rarity of their substance  but correspond in their conformation other on the contrary correspond in the  former and differ in the latter thus the chemist have well observe that in  their trial of first principle sulphur and mercury as it be pervade the  universe their reason about salt however be absurd and mere introduce to  comprise earthy dry fix body in the other two indeed one of the most universal  species of natural harmony manifest itself thus there be a correspondence  between sulphur oil greasy exhalation flame and perhaps the substance of the  star on the other hand there be a like correspondence between mercury water  aqueous vapour air and perhaps pure inter sidereal either yet do these two  the number four or great natural tribe each within its own limit differ  immense in quantity and density of substance while they general agree in  conformation as be manifest in many instance on the other hand the metal agree  in such quantity and density especial when compare with vegetable etcetera but  differ in many respect in conformation animal and vegetable in like manner  vary in their almost infinite mode of conformation but range within very limit  degree of quantity and density of substance the next most general  correspondence be that between individual body and those which supply they by  way of menstruum or support inquiry therefore must be make as to the climate  soil and depth at which each metal be generate and the same of gem whether  produce in rock or i also as to the soil in which particular tree shrub and  herb most grow and as it be delight and as to the best species of manure  whether dung chalk sea sand or ash etcetera and their different propriety and  advantage accord to the variety of soil so also the graft and set of tree and  plant as regard the readiness of graft one particular species on another  depend very much upon harmony and it will be amuse to try a experiment I have  late hear of in graft forest tree garden tree alone have hitherto be adopt by  which mean the leave and fruit be enlarge and the tree produce more shade the  specific food of animal again shall be observe as well as that which can be  use thus the carnivorous can be feed on herb for which reason the order of  feuilletans the experiment have be make have near vanish human nature be  incapable of support their regimen although the human will have more power  over the bodily frame than that of other animal the different kind of  putrefaction from which animal be generate shall be note the harmony of  principal body with those subordinate to they such indeed may be deem those we  have allude to above be sufficient manifest to which may be add those that  exist between different body and their object and since these latter be more  apparent they may throw great light when well observe and diligent examine  upon those which be more latent the more internal harmony and aversion or  friendship and enmity for superstition and folly have render the term of  sympathy and antipathy almost disgust have be either false assign or mix with  fable or most rare discover from neglect for if one be to allege that there be  a enmity between the vine and the cabbage because they will not come up well  when sow together there be a sufficient reason for it in the succulent and  absorbent nature of each plant so that the one defraud the other again if one  be to say that there be a harmony and friendship between the corn and the corn  flower or the wild poppy because the latter seldom grow anywhere but in  cultivate soil he ought rather to say there be a enmity between they for the  poppy and the corn flower be produce and create by those juice which the corn  have leave and reject so that the sow of the corn prepare the ground for their  production and there be a vast number of similar false assertion as for fable  they must be total exterminate there remain then but a scanty supply of such  species of harmony as have bear the test of experiment such as that between  the magnet and iron gold and quicksilver and the like in chemical experiment  on metal however there be some other worthy of notice but the great abundance  where the whole be so few in number be discover in certain medicine which from  their occult and specific quality as they be term affect particular limb  humour disease or constitution nor shall we omit the harmony between the  motion and phenomenon of the moon and their effect on low body which may be  bring together by a accurate and honest selection from the experiment of  agriculture navigation and medicine or of other science by as much as these  general instance however of more latent harmony be rare with so much the more  diligence be they to be inquire after through tradition and faithful and  honest report but without rashness and credulity with a anxious and as it be  hesitate degree of reliance there remain one species of harmony which though  simple in its mode of action be yet most valuable in its use and must by no  mean be omit but rather diligent investigate it be the ready or difficult  coition or union of body in composition or simple juxtaposition for some body  ready and Willing mix and be incorporate other tardy and perverse thus powder  mix best with water chalk and ash with oil and the like nor be these instance  of readiness and aversion to mixture to be alone collect but other also of the  collocation distribution and digestion of the part when mingle and the  predominance after the mixture be complete last there remain the seven and  last of the seven mode of action namely that by the alternation and  interchange of the other six but of this it will not be the right time to  offer any example until some deep investigation shall have take place of each  of the other the series or chain of this alternation in its mode of  application to separate effect be no less powerful in its operation than  difficult to be trace but man be possess with the most extreme impatience both  of such inquiry and their practical application although it be the clew of the  labyrinth in all great work thus far of the general useful instance
