| A65673 | And if such a Column of Vapours was left on the Earth, what could hinder their becoming Water, and drowning the Earth? |
| A65673 | But for Answer: How comes it about that Mr. Keill, who knows it so well, should forget the different Proportions between Solids and Superficies? |

| A60283 | And why doth it not go half an Inch above Long Fair? |
| A60283 | But here it may be inquired, By what cause, ● … r power, are these Vapors carried up, seing they are Material things, and endued with weight? |
| A60283 | But how shall it be known, that the Vapors are naturally lighter, than the Air? |
| A60283 | But why should the falling down of the Rain cause the Quicksilver fall down, and why should the rising of the Vapors, cause the Quicksilver to rise? |

| A28817 | Where are these waters above, I beseech you, if they are not in the Stars? |
| A28817 | Why open ye not your eyes, O ye learned and wise Men? |
| A28817 | and that so many pertinent reasons should have no solid ground? |
| A28817 | and why awake ye not out of your slumber, and deep sleep? |
| A28817 | and why could they not act as well within themselves, as in things far remote? |
| A28817 | and why not the effects as well as the causes, which compose them, are in it? |
| A28817 | at least those that move, and are Planets, as It is; and that turn round the bright body of the Sun, which communicates his light to them all? |
| A28817 | but rather who had not laughed at them, and derided the first motioner of them? |
| A28817 | nor suffer your eyes to be unfolded, when they be folded with the vail of Preoccupation? |

| A51768 | and differently revolv''d? |
| A51768 | c. 14. delivers it, which was, Avesne ante, an Ova generata sint, cum& Ovum sine Ave,& Avis sine Ovo gigni non possit?) |

| A60282 | And if their production be of that nature, out of what matter they are formed? |
| A60282 | As if the Coal dipped from A, which is the Cropp, to B, which should be the Center of that Body; and after that rise to C? |
| A60282 | But here occurrs the great question, namely, why I find only the weight of the Water GA, and nothing of the weight of the Water, CE, or DE? |
| A60282 | But how can AB, that''s 12 foot high, press A, with as much weight, as when it s 34 foot high? |
| A60282 | But put the case( you say) the weight R, were 130 pound, 160 pound, or 180 pound, would the beam be less or more burdened with the superior Water? |
| A60282 | But what if we do more,( say they) even overthrow many of all your Aerostatical and Hydrostatical Experiments, in this, and in your last Pe ● ce? |
| A60282 | But why is it then,( say you) that the stronger the suction be, the higher the Mercury ascends in the Pipe? |
| A60282 | But why is the Tub prest up with 13 ounces? |
| A60282 | But why may not a man come up every half hour, when he finds difficulty to tarry down in a little Ark? |
| A60282 | But why ought a surface to succumb, when the Pillar grows in hight, and not to fail when it grows only in breadth? |
| A60282 | But why ought the Brass to be suspended at 25 foot from the top? |
| A60282 | But why should a larger part of a surface be stronger than a narrower part? |
| A60282 | First, what''s the reason, why the Mercury subsides, and sinks down from H to G? |
| A60282 | First, why ought the Mercury to rise in the two Tubs, after the Vessel is filled with Water? |
| A60282 | How then is it counterpoised? |
| A60282 | If a Coal encountering amascent, or Brae above ground in its Streek, rises also with the ground, and keeps its ascent? |
| A60282 | If it be asked, between what two things is the equipondium now? |
| A60282 | If it be asked, how come we to the knowledge of this, that the pressure and weight of the Element of Air, is sometimes less, and sometimes more? |
| A60282 | If it be asked, how comes it to pass, that the Pillar of Water IH, is exactly the weight of the 58 inches of Mercury? |
| A60282 | If it be enquired, how can one and the same Water, counterpoise two Fluids of different weights? |
| A60282 | If it be enquired, how much weight rests upon the palm of a mans hand, when the Ark is down about 68 foot? |
| A60282 | If it be enquired, whether or not, would the Mercury run out at B, upon supposition, the shank LD were twice as wide, as the shank BD? |
| A60282 | If it be inquired, whether bodies, that are naturally lighter, will weigh in Water? |
| A60282 | If it be inquired, whether or not, would the 14 inches of Mercury AB fall down, a small hole being made in the top of the Tub at B? |
| A60282 | If it be inquired, whither the greatest hazard is from the ingress of the Water, or from the egress of the Air? |
| A60282 | If it be said, how can such a Fluid Body as Water, be able to support any part of the weight of the stone, that is such a heavy Body? |
| A60282 | If so much rest upon the palm, how much must rest upon the rest of the parts of the body? |
| A60282 | If then, it be supported by the said surface, why ought I to find the weight of it, when I lift up the Pipe a little from the bottom of the Vessel? |
| A60282 | If this be,( you say) what is the weight of Air, that rests upon this Table, that''s 36 inches square? |
| A60282 | Is then the Hydrostaticks, a Science long ago perfected? |
| A60282 | It may be enquired here, how far this Glass would go down, before the 29 inches of Air IK were reduced to one inch? |
| A60282 | It may be enquired, what hazard would follow, upon supposition a small hole were pierced in the head of the Ark above, when it is going down? |
| A60282 | It may be here inquired, what sort of proportion is keeped by the unequal ingress of the Water? |
| A60282 | It may be here inquired, whether or not, Mercury would ascend in this Glass, as the Water does? |
| A60282 | It may be inquired next, what''s the weight of the Air, that burdens the pavement of this parlour, that''s 16 foot square? |
| A60282 | It may be inquired secondly, how far Mercury will ascend, and how far Water will creep up? |
| A60282 | It may be inquired secondly, why it halts at G, 58 inches from AB, and comes no further down? |
| A60282 | Now the question is, why there being but 50 inches of Water in the Tub, while erected, there should be 60 in it, when it is reclined? |
| A60282 | Now, I enquire, whether these 18 ounces, are the equipondium of the VVater within the Glass, or of the weight of Lead B? |
| A60282 | Now, what''s the reason, why it runs up from R to E, and why it falls down from I to D? |
| A60282 | Or if it should continue its declination thorow B to D, which is Antipodes to us? |
| A60282 | Or if these 18 ounces in the Scale O, be the counterpoise of the Water within the Glass, I enquire what sustains the weight of the Lead B? |
| A60282 | Or why doth it not extuberat in any other place of the Graff? |
| A60282 | Or, if they have been but produced gradually, as they speak of Gold, and other Minerals, by the influence of the Sun, in the bowels of the Earth? |
| A60282 | Secondly, how shall we come to the true knowledge of that weight; that is, to know distinctly how many pounds or ounces it is of? |
| A60282 | Secondly, why rather six inches, then seven or eight? |
| A60282 | Secondly, why there should be 90 inches of Water in the Tub BE, and but 50 in it, when it stands Perpendicular, as DA? |
| A60282 | The Devil said to him, Saw you that? |
| A60282 | The Devil then roared mightily, and cryed out, What? |
| A60282 | The first question is, what sustains the VVater IO; for the part FI, is sustained by the ambient VVater? |
| A60282 | The question now is, what''s the reason, why the VVater creeps up after this manner, 10 or 12 inches above the surface AB? |
| A60282 | The question then is, why doth it lose half a pound of its weight? |
| A60282 | Thirdly, what''s the reason, why it rises as high in the wide Tub, as in the narrow? |
| A60282 | Trial likewise might be made, by firing a great piece of Ordnance above, whether the report would be heard below the Water or not? |
| A60282 | What hath so highly commended Merchiston over all Europe, as his inventions, especially his Logarithmes? |
| A60282 | Will ye not speak to me? |
| A60282 | Would you see me? |
| A60282 | 〈 ◊ 〉 be asked, What way goes about the Hool of the Wild Vetch? |
| A15364 | 1 It is solid, in opposition to fluid, as is the ayre; for how otherwise could it beat back the light which it receives from the Sunne? |
| A15364 | 2 Why have we no mention made of it in the writings of the Antients? |
| A15364 | 5 Fire does not seeme so properly and directly to be opposed to any thing as Ice, and if the one be not an element, why should the other? |
| A15364 | Againe, if the Sun beames did passe through her, why then hath she not a taile( saith Scaliger) as the Comets? |
| A15364 | And alas, what is this unto the vaste frame of the whole Vniverse? |
| A15364 | And besides, how are the Orbes capable of perceiving this Will in the Intelligences? |
| A15364 | And how were it possible for any to tarry so long without dyet or sleep? |
| A15364 | And if he might stand there, why might hee not also goe there? |
| A15364 | And then besides, why might not we affirme, That the diameter was measured from that place, as wel as the circumference? |
| A15364 | And then, 1 What need the King of Babylon send thither to enquire after it? |
| A15364 | And therefore Pererius proposing the question, why the Creation of plants& herbs is mentioned, but not of mettalls and mineralls? |
| A15364 | And why may not wee as well affirme this concerning the bignes of the Heavens? |
| A15364 | And yet now, how easie a thing is this even to a timorous and cowardly nature? |
| A15364 | And( as was said before) why may not we affirm that of the bignesse, which our adversaries doe concerning the motion of the Heavens? |
| A15364 | As* why the Sea should bee so bounded from overflowing the land? |
| A15364 | But here you may aske, whether there be any meanes for us to know, how far this sphere of the earths vertue dos extend it selfe? |
| A15364 | But how can any vertue hold out to such a distance? |
| A15364 | But if there bee such great, and frequent alterations in the Heavens, why can not we discerne them? |
| A15364 | But if you aske, whither shall all these exhalations returne? |
| A15364 | But it may be againe objected, if there be such rugged parts, and so high mountaines, why then can not we discerne them at this distance? |
| A15364 | But man dyeth and wasteth away; yea, man giveth up the ghost, and where is he? |
| A15364 | But now, if any question what they doe for a Moone who live in the upper part of her body? |
| A15364 | But whether they are capable of such changes and vicissitudes, as this inferiour world is lyable unto? |
| A15364 | Can wee beleeve, if there were any such thing, that Iosuah, and Iob, and David, and Solomon,& c. should know nothing of it? |
| A15364 | For to what purpose should so many Lights be created for the use of man, since his eyes were not able to discerne them? |
| A15364 | I reply, this can not be; for then why does Mars shine with his wonted rednesse, when hee is neere the Moone? |
| A15364 | If any should aske whether the other Planets lend any light to the Moone? |
| A15364 | If our Forefathers had but hated thus, All that were new, what had been old to us? |
| A15364 | If this were true, how comes it to passe then, that this aire should bee as right as any of the others parts, when as t is the thinnest of all? |
| A15364 | If you ask now, what the reason may be of that light which wee discerne in the darker part of the new Moone? |
| A15364 | If you aske by what means the Sunne can produce such a motion? |
| A15364 | If you aske, how they multiply? |
| A15364 | If you yet enquire, how wee may conceive it possible, that a condensed body should not be heavy in such a place? |
| A15364 | Mersennus a late Jesuite, proposing the question whether or no the opinion of more worlds than one, be hereticall and against the faith? |
| A15364 | Might not the Ants as well divide a little Mole- hill into diverse Provinces, and keep as great a stir in disposing of their government? |
| A15364 | Nonne ô terrena animalia consideratis, quibus praesidere videamini? |
| A15364 | Now if any aske why there are but six Planetary Orbs? |
| A15364 | Now if our earth were one of the Planets( as it is according to them) then why may not another of the Planets be an earth? |
| A15364 | Or if they were, yet what motive Facultie have they of themselves, which can inable them to obey it? |
| A15364 | Or, how might any thing confirmed be, For publicke use, by it''s Antiquitie? |
| A15364 | Or, if this will not serve: yet why may not a Papist fast so long, as well as Ignatius or Xaverius? |
| A15364 | Or, if wee must needs feed upon something else, why may not smells nourish us? |
| A15364 | Other creatures were made with their Heads and Eies turned downwards: would you know why man was not created so too? |
| A15364 | Quid mirabilius aquis in caelo stantibus? |
| A15364 | Quid tibi inquis ista proderunt? |
| A15364 | Secondly, if the Moone, according to common Philosophy may move the Sea, why then may not the Sun move this Globe of Earth? |
| A15364 | What a little is that which wee know, in respect of those many matters contained within this great Universe? |
| A15364 | What great matter is it to be Monarch of a small part of a point? |
| A15364 | What is the † bredth of the Earth? |
| A15364 | What shall we think( saith hee in Plutarch) that men doe cling to that place like wormes, or hang by their clawes as Cats? |
| A15364 | What then could he thinke of the primum mobile? |
| A15364 | What would become of that mutuall Commerce, whereby the World is now made but as one Common- wealth? |
| A15364 | What( say they) shall an upstart Noveltie thrust out such a Truth as hath passed by successive tradition through all Ages of the World? |
| A15364 | Why does shee not alwayes appeare in the full? |
| A15364 | Why should any one be taken up in the admiration of these lower outsides, these earthly glories? |
| A15364 | Why should any one dreame of propagating his name, or spreading his report through the World? |

| A15364 | or what can they in the Moone know of us? |
| A15364 | or what reason is there that shee appeares as exactly round through it, as shee doth to the bare eye? |
| A15364 | or why can not her greater brightnesse make him appeare white as the other Planets? |
| A15364 | since the light is dispersed through all her body? |
| A15364 | that the Plants and Trees grow downwards, that the haile, and raine, and snow fall upwards to the earth? |
| A15364 | that there is no Musick of the spheares; for if they be not solid, how can their motion cause any such sound as is conceived? |
| A15364 | that things which with us doe lie on the ground, doe hang there? |
| A15364 | what is the* reason of the Snow or Hayle? |
| A15364 | what more wonderfull thing is there than that the waters should stand in the heavens? |
| A15364 | why doth she appeare in such an exact round? |
| A15364 | why doth the Moone appeare unto us so exactly round, and not rather as a wheele with teeth? |
| A15364 | why it was, that he might be an Astronomer? |

| A51767 | Doth Claudian commend the Poetry of his Consul, or mention his Acquaintance with the Muses? |
| A51767 | Doth he say he wrote Books of Astronomy, knew the Depths of Astrology, and was admitted into the Councils of the Stars? |
| A51767 | Drive on the Day, fall headlong down the West, Force up the Stars, and rise again at East? |

| A51767 | Why should we not employ the Gifts bestow''d By Heaven, in knowing the kind Author of the Good? |
| A51767 | Why the Grammarians and Mythologists, seem to be altogether unacquainted with his Writings? |

| A51767 | was the fourth Book written and publish''d before the first? |
| A51767 | why should we our selves abuse? |
| A51767 | why the Impurities of Stile the Criticks charge upon him are for the most part pickt out of the four last Books? |
| A39865 | ''T is true, it gives them Light, but what kind of Light? |
| A39865 | After this, can you believe, that Nature, who has been fruitful to Excess as to the Earth, is barren to all the rest of the Planets? |
| A39865 | Ah, said she, do you begin to speak of Moral Philosophy, when the Question is of that which is altogether natural? |
| A39865 | Am not I as much obliged to believe that the Sun lodges in a Tabernacle? |
| A39865 | And can you think their condition is so much to be lamented? |
| A39865 | And did not the learned Men write in vain, to assure us, there was no danger? |
| A39865 | And do not we know that Rome, which is built under ground, is almost as great as the City above ground? |
| A39865 | And even we our selves, Were we not frightned out of our Wits at an Eclipse of the Sun, that happen''d about thirty Years since? |
| A39865 | And looking earnestly upon me, asked me again, what I meant? |
| A39865 | And shall we place no Inhabitants upon that great Ring, said the Marquiese, laughing? |
| A39865 | And that every fix''d Star must comprehend and govern an equal space with our Sun? |
| A39865 | And what Right have they to frighten us, more than we have to frighten them? |
| A39865 | And what, pray, are these certain News you have from thence, interrupted she? |
| A39865 | And why are you not as uneasie, said I, upon the account of the Inhabitants under and near the South- Pole, which is altogether unknown to us? |
| A39865 | And why does my Belief of the Motion of the Earth, and the Rest of the Sun contradict the holy Scriptures? |
| A39865 | And why may not I safely believe, that this makes for the Opinion of Copernicus, as well as for that of Ptolemy? |
| A39865 | And wou''d you not also, said I, have these four Moons to send Ambassadors, from time to time, to the Inhabitants of Iupiter, and swear Fealty to him? |
| A39865 | Are not all these Allegorical Sayings? |
| A39865 | Are you satisfi''d, said I, Madam, very gravely; have not I told you Chimeras in abundance? |
| A39865 | But as to the Eclipses, What is the Cause of them? |
| A39865 | But did these Americans think the Ocean more proper to be crossed, and pass''d through? |
| A39865 | But do you know what he did, the Day they brought him the first printed Copy of his Book? |
| A39865 | But how is it possible for one to represent all these to our Fancy? |
| A39865 | But is it possible that the Earth can be an enlighten''d Body, as the Moon is? |
| A39865 | But is this Reason enough for me to depend on? |
| A39865 | But pray tell me seriously, said the Marquiese, do you believe that there are Men in the Moon? |
| A39865 | But what then must the Inhabitants of Mercury be, for they are yet more near to the Sun? |
| A39865 | But why Spheres of Christal, said Madam la Marquiese? |
| A39865 | But, Sir, replied the Marquiese, she receives also all their Complaints, as a true Confident of all their Entrigues; from whence proceeds that? |
| A39865 | But, said she, how does the Earth support its vast weight, on your Heavenly Substance, which ought to be very light, since it is so fluid? |
| A39865 | But, said she, is that sufficient to make us reject the Inhabitants of the Moon? |
| A39865 | But, said the Marquiese, is the Earth as proper for reflecting the Light of the Sun, as the Moon? |
| A39865 | But, says the Marquiese, interrupting me, why are there some Planets attending upon others, who, it may be, are no better than themselves? |
| A39865 | By all appearance the Moon is inhabited, why shou''d not Venus be so, as well as she? |
| A39865 | Can they be inhabited as the Planets are, said she to me? |
| A39865 | Can you guess what Nature has intended for the enlightning of Nights so long and dreadful? |
| A39865 | Did not a great many People shut themselves up in Vaults and Cellars? |
| A39865 | Do not I deceive my self, cry''d out the Marquiese, do I see whither you are going to lead me? |
| A39865 | Do not doubt of it, Madam, answer''d I; why has not Nature sufficient to give Inhabitants to''em all? |
| A39865 | Do not the Words Tabernacle and Chamber express Places of Rest and Stability? |
| A39865 | Do not you believe, Madam, said I, that the clearness of this Night exceeds the Glory of the brightest day? |
| A39865 | Do you pretend to have discover''d all things, said she, or to have brought them to that perfection that nothing can be added? |
| A39865 | For if the Moon had gone on her Course, where was the Loss or Disorder in Nature? |
| A39865 | Good Lord, Madam, said I, Do you think I can imagine you can be as zealous for a Precedency in the Universe, as you would be for that in a Chamber? |
| A39865 | Have not I said enough for a Man that was never out of his own Tourbillion? |
| A39865 | Have we no more to see in the Moon? |
| A39865 | How was it possible then that Solomon could beget a Son, when he was but a Child himself, or of eleven Years of Age according to the Septuagint? |
| A39865 | If I shou''d answer you seriously, said I, that we may one day know''em, wou''d not you laugh at me? |
| A39865 | If the Sun did move, according to the System of Ptolemy, where was the necessity of the Moon''s standing still? |
| A39865 | Is every fixt Star the Center of a Tourbillion; and it may be full as big as our Sun? |
| A39865 | Is it possible, that all this Immense space, wherein our Sun and Planets have their Revolution, is nothing but an inconsiderable part of the Universe? |
| A39865 | Is not this witty for me to reason like Ariosto? |
| A39865 | Is this absolutely necessary, says she? |
| A39865 | Madam, said I, I have still a Reserve for you: You see that Whiteness in the Hemisphere, call''d The Milky Way; Can you imagine what it is? |
| A39865 | Now when by this Miracle they had the Light of the Sun, of what Advantage could the Moon be to them? |
| A39865 | Or do they believe they are not as capable of conceiving that which she learned with so much Facility? |
| A39865 | Or what living Creatures can subsist in a Country without Water? |
| A39865 | Our Sun has Planets, which he enlightens, why may not every fix''d Star have Planets also? |
| A39865 | Pray, tell me, said the Marquiese; Are the Inhabitants of the Moon as much afraid of Eclipses as we are? |
| A39865 | Pray, what Assurance have we, said the Marquiese, that our Earth shall always remain in the same Situation? |
| A39865 | Suppose a thing had a Being a hundred thousand times longer than ours, shou''d we therefore conclude it shou''d last for ever? |
| A39865 | That Idea, said she, is too mournful; Is there no way to pass it by? |
| A39865 | The truth is, Madam the Marquiese applies her self to this Knowledge; but what is this Application? |
| A39865 | To whom shall we trust then, when these very Glasses, to which we owe so many new Discoveries, deceive us? |
| A39865 | Well, said she, what hinders, but we shou''d make a Journey through the Planets as well as we can? |
| A39865 | What People are those? |
| A39865 | What are they then? |
| A39865 | What do I know but in one Tourbillion, there are more Planets turning round it than in another? |
| A39865 | What is the Universe thus divided into Tourbillions, confusedly cast together? |
| A39865 | What is there in all this wonderful stop of Time, that is not as strong for the System of Copernicus, as for that of Ptolemy? |
| A39865 | What kind of Creatures should we find then said the Marquiese, with a very impatient look? |
| A39865 | What weakness, said she, more earnestly than before? |
| A39865 | What wou''d you have, Madam? |
| A39865 | What, cry''d out the Marquiese, have I the Systemes of all the Universe in my Head, am I become so learned? |
| A39865 | What, replied she, do you think me then incapable of all those Pleasures which entertain our Reason, and only treat the Mind? |
| A39865 | What, said I, Madam, Will not you allow Kings and Princes some Corner of the Moon, or some Star, to take their part in time of need? |
| A39865 | What, said the Lady Marquiese, do you look upon that as a Favour? |
| A39865 | Who can then be the Inhabitants of those Rocks that produce nothing? |
| A39865 | Why not, said she, laughing? |
| A39865 | Why was she commanded to stand still upon the Valley of Ajalon? |
| A39865 | Without all doubt, said I, Madam: Why shou''d the Inhabitants of the Moon have more Sense than we? |
| A39865 | Worlds, said she, what Worlds? |
| A39865 | Would no other Substance serve? |
| A39865 | are they Gods or the Children of the Sun? |
| A39865 | cry''d my Lady Marquiese; Have you forgot that you assur''d me, there were Seas in the Moon, which we cou''d distinguish from hence? |
| A39865 | cry''d out Madam the Marquiese, Can Suns be extinguish''d? |
| A39865 | or are they not inhabited? |
| A39865 | said the Marquiese, laughing; What Ambassadors are these? |
| A39865 | said the Marquiese; Can a Sun be obscur''d, or entirely extinguish''d, who is himself the Fountain of Light? |
| A39865 | what shall we make of''em? |
| A39865 | who brought them over the Seas? |
| A39865 | who has given''em the Power of Fire and Thunder? |
| A57666 | A great load- stone? |
| A57666 | Againe, what a reaching eye have you, that can describe circles about the earth? |
| A57666 | And how can there be a right and left side, where there is neither sense nor life, nor distinction of organicall parts? |
| A57666 | And if by space you understand the aire, then how will your distinction stand, the aire or medium, and the space being all one? |
| A57666 | And were it not an absurd thing to think that the arteries move, but the heart standeth still? |
| A57666 | And what doe you thinke of the Scripture when it saith; The earth standeth fast, and the stars move? |
| A57666 | And what of all this? |
| A57666 | And what will you conclude from this? |
| A57666 | And when Iupiter turnes by his body, is there no revolution? |
| A57666 | Are you not like him who thought that all the ships and goods that came into the Pyreum were his owne? |
| A57666 | As if you would say, If the North- winde shake the woods, why may not the South- winde shake the mountaines? |
| A57666 | At the same time speake plainly and ambiguously; in the same sentence have a double meaning? |
| A57666 | Because Aristotle saith the fire may descend, must the earth therefore ascend? |
| A57666 | But I would know of you, how you can reasonably affirme that circle to be eccentricall, which we sensibly perceive to be concentricall to the world? |
| A57666 | But first tell us if Iupiter and the rest are separated from the whole; if they be, what is it that moves them with contrarie motions? |
| A57666 | But how know you that Iob could not answer God? |
| A57666 | But if you question the stability and gravity of the earth, is not your question as foolish as our foundation? |
| A57666 | But what a mishapen world have you made us? |
| A57666 | But what an Argument is this? |
| A57666 | But what if I should suppose the contrary, that it doth consist of a fructifying soyle, and that there be people there, aswell as in your Moone? |
| A57666 | But what will you inferre upon this? |
| A57666 | But why is this a secret? |
| A57666 | Can darknesse be the effect of light? |
| A57666 | Can theeves and cut- throats, whilst they are penetrating the works of darknesse, abide the light of a torch? |
| A57666 | Can you tell us whence the Brises or trade- windes under the line which blow continually from East to West, doe proceed? |
| A57666 | Do not you use to call cinnamon- water, and such like distilled waters, hot waters? |
| A57666 | Doe not these clouds and evaporations proceed rather from his horses nostrils? |
| A57666 | Doe you not know that old and triviall maxime: Propter quod unumquodque est tale, illud ipsum est magis tale? |
| A57666 | Doth he not truly ascend and descend, to those who have him for their Zenith in their meridian? |
| A57666 | Doth not the whirling about of a great wheele move the aire about it? |
| A57666 | Doth not the winde move grosse substances? |
| A57666 | Doth not this hang well together like a rope of sand? |
| A57666 | Doth not your soule worke upon your body by the will? |
| A57666 | Evaporations are hot and moist exhalations, is there any moisture in the sunne? |
| A57666 | For doth not the Sunne truely ascend when he comes to your meridian, and truely descend, when he removes from it? |
| A57666 | For is it a greater mysterie then Christs Incarnation, Resurrection, Ascension,& c. which are set downe in plaine tearms? |
| A57666 | For is not any of these turnings as probable as the moon to be turned about by the earth? |
| A57666 | From what stories of these times have you had this? |
| A57666 | Have the fire and aire lost their levity because they are in their own places? |
| A57666 | Have you beene in the moone, and observed that which we can not finde here below? |
| A57666 | How can the blinde lead the blinde? |
| A57666 | How know you that this was the generall tenent in Solomons dayes? |
| A57666 | How tender hearted are you? |
| A57666 | How unconvenient and unhealthy were mans habitation, if it were neerer the heaven then it is? |
| A57666 | I answer, if the Sunne be in his motion like a Gyant, then sure the Sunne hath motion; for how can that which is not, be compared to that which is? |
| A57666 | I may say of Scripture as the Apostle said of Christ, Whither shall we goe from thee? |
| A57666 | I pray how come you to know this? |
| A57666 | I pray you good Sir, how farre doth your experience reach beyond ours, that you should deny this our assertion? |
| A57666 | I pray you whither would the earth fall, being in its owne place, and sowest of all the Elements? |
| A57666 | If changes be vanity, to how much vanity is your world in the Moon subject, which so often changeth? |
| A57666 | If neither you nor we can perceive that circumference to which light bodies ascend eccentricall to the world, what reason have you to affirme it? |
| A57666 | If one can not tell how the eye seeth, will you bid him suppose that the foot seeth? |
| A57666 | If the Sunne were not every day in the midst of Heaven; how should the Artificiall day be divided into equall parts? |
| A57666 | If the diurnall motion of the aire exceed the windes in impetuositie, how comes it, that it doth not the same effects that the winde doth? |
| A57666 | If the heavens be subject to the vanity of corruption, as you say, tell us whether you speak properly and philosophically, or metaphorically? |
| A57666 | Indeed you shew your selfe a weake Philosopher, for from whence have the parts of the earth their motion of descent, but from the whole? |
| A57666 | Is a mill- stone lesse heavy when it is on or in the ground, then when it is raised from the ground? |
| A57666 | Is it because we are not capable to understand such a high mysterie? |
| A57666 | Is it not for the benefit of the Earth? |
| A57666 | Is it the earth that moves the aire, or the aire that moves the earth in earth- quakes? |
| A57666 | Is it the earthy and heavy part of mans body that moves these aereall substances in the nerves, which we call animall spirits? |
| A57666 | Is not that also mysticall? |
| A57666 | Is the aire or medium a hinderance to circular motions, so that these bodies can onely move there in a straight line? |
| A57666 | It must either be united to some other light, or else vanish; all which was needlesse: is it not safer then to adhere to Gods word? |
| A57666 | It seemes this incredible swiftnesse of the earth hath made your head giddy, that you know not what you write: and how can it be otherwise? |
| A57666 | Knowest thou the ordinances,( or as some translations have it) the conversions of heaven? |
| A57666 | Mars 2,& c. What is the time which you will allot to the Earth for the accomplishing of her annuall motion? |
| A57666 | May not Satan who hath still abused the Serpent to superstition, cause the aspe stop his eares when he is inchanted? |
| A57666 | May you not as well tell us, that there are more suns then this one which we see? |
| A57666 | Must the light be intended, as the body is extended? |
| A57666 | Nay, what absurdities will not follow upon this removall, which you will never be able to avoid for all your starting hole? |
| A57666 | Now you goe a birding; for what is a gentleman but his pleasure? |
| A57666 | Now, if the Sun doth not move, why doth the Scripture say it doth? |
| A57666 | Of the world? |
| A57666 | Or are not these rather the movers of our grosse bodies? |
| A57666 | Or can the stars in both hemispheares appeare of the same bignesse? |
| A57666 | Or can the true spheare of heaven be divided equally into twelve parts, or signes, so that sixe be alwayes above the earth, and sixe below? |
| A57666 | Or doe you know it by the help of a perspective? |
| A57666 | Or hath the earth which is of a round forme better things in the center then in the superficies? |
| A57666 | Or in the smoake when it carrieth upward a piece of paper? |
| A57666 | Or is it more incredible that the Moone shall be turned into bloud, then for clouds to raine bloud? |
| A57666 | Or must that phrase be thought improper, the roofe is over your head? |
| A57666 | Or when the Sunne turnes by his revolution, doth he not turne by his body? |
| A57666 | Or wherein shall the world be bettered, if it be removed to your supposed circle? |
| A57666 | Or( according to your doctrine) if the earth can move the Moone, why may not Venus or Mercury move the Sunne? |
| A57666 | Other Astronomers will prove as strongly as you can, that Mercury is the least of all starres; shall wee beleeve you, or them? |
| A57666 | Other Planets have their oppositions, is therefore the earth within the orbe of either of them? |
| A57666 | Quis tonitrus sonum, aut quemadmedum oriatur explicandis rationibus assequi possit? |
| A57666 | Quomodo credam non mentiri Pythagoram, qui mentitur ut credam? |
| A57666 | Shall we suppose the fire to be cold, because we can not tell how the sunne is hot? |
| A57666 | So here be three severall wayes of turning; motion, body, and revolution: but is not revolution, motion? |
| A57666 | So here, Sun stand still in Gibeon, is understood, while we are fighting? |
| A57666 | So then, tell us the cause why we can not perceive the earth move, seeing it moves with such a stupendious swiftnesse? |
| A57666 | Take heed that the light which is in you be not darknesse, for then how great will that darknesse be? |
| A57666 | Tell mee if you can, from whence proceed the many motions and mutations that are in sublunary things? |
| A57666 | Tell us what part of heaven doth the Scripture call right or left? |
| A57666 | That( I hope) you will not say: If then the Vulgar speake sometime truth, why may not the Scripture speake truth with the Vulgar? |
| A57666 | The Chaldeans and Egyptians reckon 432. thousand yeares before the Floud; will you therefore say, they had no knowledge of the Floud? |
| A57666 | The load- stone disposeth the motions of the yron, will you therefore inferre that the load- stone hath the properties of yron? |
| A57666 | The sea- water and well- water agree in kinde and properties, doth the well- water therefore ebbe and flow? |
| A57666 | Therefore, it is no uncertainty( as you say) that it is concentricall to the stars: for if it be not, tell us where you will have it? |
| A57666 | This I say is such a riddle, that Oedipus could scarce have solved it; for why should not the motion be mixed as well in the medium as in the space? |
| A57666 | This is to make the Scripture indeed a nose of wax; for what may I not interpret this way? |
| A57666 | This saying of his is not reckoned amongst his symbolicall speeches; and if it be symbolicall, why not that saying of the Earths motion? |
| A57666 | Though I should yeeld that the Moon were a small starre in bulk, will it follow that therefore it is a lesser light? |
| A57666 | Though there were no such naturall policie in the Serpent, yet may he not be taught by inchanters to do so? |
| A57666 | To what end should there be so much light in each starre exceeding the light of the Moone? |
| A57666 | We can not conceive how the heavens move so swiftly as they say, ergo we must suppose the earth to move? |
| A57666 | Wee shall shine as the Sun, that is, wee shall be dark as the shadow? |
| A57666 | What Antiquity? |
| A57666 | What consequence is this? |
| A57666 | What danger would arise if it spoke plaine in this point? |
| A57666 | What difference is there betweene the middle and out- side of a round stone? |
| A57666 | What fooles were the Poets to bestow so rich a chariot, and foure prancing horses on the sunne, who could make no use of them? |
| A57666 | What foundation either in Divinity or Philosophy, what Article of the Creed hath not been questioned? |
| A57666 | What hands hath the winde when it moves the clouds? |
| A57666 | What hands hath your soule when it works on your body? |
| A57666 | What if I should admit an absurd conceit of yours, that the Earth draweth the Moone about? |
| A57666 | What if I should say that they disagree in many more properties, and that therefore this can not be the load- stone? |
| A57666 | What if they had been ignorant in some one point of Divinity, must we therefore reject their authority in other points? |
| A57666 | What inconvenience will follow in the world, if it remaine the center of the universe? |
| A57666 | What is the breadth of the earth? |
| A57666 | What is the croaking of frogs, to the cracking of thunder, or the light of rotten wood, to lightning in the aire? |
| A57666 | What is the reason of snow or haile, raine or dew, yee or frost? |
| A57666 | What is this to the purpose? |
| A57666 | What matter is it whether they had understood it or not? |
| A57666 | What mean you by this word( space?) |
| A57666 | What rugged parts are there in the superficies of winds and clouds, when the windes move the clouds? |
| A57666 | What say you of all the waters of Egypt which were turned into bloud? |
| A57666 | What though the Fathers or Aristotle had been ignorant in this point, must therefore their authority in other points be slighted? |
| A57666 | What, doth the sun pant and sweat with his daily labour? |
| A57666 | What? |
| A57666 | When you say that Isaiah speaketh of that light which shall be in stead of the Sun and Moon, doe you answer any thing at all to his testimony? |
| A57666 | Who can sufficiently laugh to heare their jars and dissentions, saith Theodoret? |
| A57666 | Why I say must it be removed from its owne reall circle, to your imaginary circle? |
| A57666 | Why doe you not tell us plainly, that you are fathers of learning, as well as in learning? |
| A57666 | Why doth not the holy Ghost tell us in plaine tearmes, that the Earth moves, if it doth move? |
| A57666 | Why is the motion of the fire downward, and of the earth upward, violent motions, but because these elements have no aptitude to such motions? |
| A57666 | Why should we thinke that you or Copernicus can better understand the Scripture phrase, then the Church of God from time to time hath done? |
| A57666 | Why then may not this be called a miracle, whereas many strange, yea ordinary effects of nature are called miracles? |
| A57666 | Why( say you) should these be counted sufficient expressions to take away motion from the earth? |
| A57666 | Will it follow: The Scripture doth not exactly number, sometimes for brevities sake; ergo, it never speakes exactly of Philosophicall points? |
| A57666 | Will not the one be so much the lesse, by how much the other is inlarged? |
| A57666 | Will you have the holy Ghost then speake a falshood? |
| A57666 | Will you make the Scripture not onely ass ● er ● a falshood in positive tearmes, but also bring similitudes to illustrate it? |
| A57666 | You call the earth a great magnet; What''s that? |
| A57666 | You inslave your selfe to one man, and is guilty of that which you accuse in us: Quis tulerit Gracchos? |
| A57666 | You mince the miracle, and the power of God too much; for, is it not as easie for him to make the Sun goe back, as to make the shadow returne? |
| A57666 | You object to your selfe, How are two distinct motions conceiveable in the earth at the same time? |
| A57666 | You tell us so, but how shall we beleeve you? |
| A57666 | and I pray you, is not heaven sitter to undergoe a great and constant worke then the earth, so small, so dull, so heavy, so subject to change? |
| A57666 | and is it not absurd to say( as I have already shewed) that there should be weight in a part of any thing, and not in the whole? |
| A57666 | and shall not the judgement of so many be preferred to one? |
| A57666 | and what other media or meanes are in heaven by which they work, but light and motion? |
| A57666 | and where did this winde end? |
| A57666 | are not the spots in your glasse, or in your eye rather? |
| A57666 | are you afraid that the heavens will grow wearie? |
| A57666 | because the mill- wheele is not farre distant from the miller, doth it therefore goe about the miller? |
| A57666 | by relation, or revelation, or reason, or experience? |
| A57666 | consisting of another heaven and earth? |
| A57666 | doth the Scripture in this speake foolishly? |
| A57666 | from themselves they can not; from a superior cause then they must, and what is that but the heavens? |
| A57666 | if it move, how can it be stable? |
| A57666 | in the moone, or in the Elysian fields, or in Mahomets paradise? |
| A57666 | must their failing in one or two points of Philosophy, lessen their credit in all Philosophicall truths? |
| A57666 | now levior cippus nunc imprimit ossa? |
| A57666 | or doe you know whence the Aniversarie windes in Egypt, called Etesiae, doe come? |
| A57666 | or hath shee the properties of the sea? |
| A57666 | or have you dreamed it? |
| A57666 | or how doe you prove what you affirme? |
| A57666 | or what ruggednesse is there in smooth waters, when in rivers the formost waters are moved forward by the hindermost? |
| A57666 | or what should be the cause of his stupidity, and of your quicknesse of apprehension? |
| A57666 | or why may not the Sunne move the Firmament? |
| A57666 | or why should truth be of lesse esteeme, because vulgar? |
| A57666 | perswade me this, and then you shall easily assure me that the cart drawes the horse, the crab courses the hare, and the ship turns about the wind? |
| A57666 | shall they be counted foolish foundations, or unfit to discusse controversies, because they have been questioned by pernicious Heretickes? |
| A57666 | that it is the bignesse that is the cause of this swiftnesse? |
| A57666 | what end hath hee to tell us that it is immoveable? |
| A57666 | who ever heard that the degrees of comparison make a contradiction? |
| A57666 | why doe we not feele its force? |
| A57666 | will you therefore reject them? |
