A61244Did I not say it could be no other than a Sophism?
A61244Did he ever lend you his eyes?
A61244Do not you see, that if there is any advantage, the wall hath it?
A61244Do you ask me how so?
A61244Do you not answer me?
A61244Do you not see that, in this case, the arrow would of necessity move with greater velocity than the air?
A61244Do you now conceive what I would say?
A61244Do you see, Simplicius, if greater inconveniences would happen?
A61244Doth Aristotle demonstrate this, or doth he not rather barely affirm it, as serving to some certain design of his?
A61244Doth he not lay down the conclusion as unknown?
A61244Doth he think that Heaven is no Coelestial substance?

A61244Doth not he say that the circular motion of the Earth would be violent?
A61244Doth thy imagination comprehend that vast magnitude of the Universe, wh ● ch thou afterwards judgest to be too immense?

A61244For who knows not that the Earth is alwaies the same?
A61244For who will prescribe bounds to the Wits of men?
A61244For whose profit and advantage?
A61244Go to; if the Earth was generable and corruptible before that Inundation, why may not the Moon be so likewise without such a change?
A61244Go to; tell me, Simplicius, are not these affections contrary to one another?
A61244Grant that it were so where such proofs can not be had, yet if this case admit of them, why do not you use them?

A61244Have you ever tryed the experiment of the Ship?
A61244He doth so; and very ingenious they are: particularly, That, Whence it cometh to pass that round tops run better than the square?
A61244Hold a little, good Simplicius, this modern Author, what saith he to the new Stars, Anno 1572, and 1604, and to the Solar spots?
A61244How can that be?
A61244How can that be?
A61244How can this be?
A61244How can we then, with shots so uncertain, assure our selves of that which is in dispute?
A61244How is this?
A61244How long therefore would you have the moveable to move?
A61244How much circumspection is there to be used in affirming or denying a proposition?
A61244How much readier is Simplicius to apprehend the objections which favour the opinions of Aristotle, than their solutions?
A61244How so?
A61244How then can you make these motions being conferred on the Earth, of contraries to become consistents?
A61244How then doth this come to pass?
A61244How, do you not know that?
A61244How, is there no such thing acknowledged?
A61244How?
A61244How?
A61244How?
A61244I do not very well understand this business; do you, Salviatus?
A61244If that superficies were inclining?
A61244If the first; what manner of accident is it?
A61244If thou comprehendest it; wilt thou hold that thy apprehension extendeth it self farther than the Divine Power?
A61244Insuper quî fit, ut istae res tam variae tantùm moveantur ab Occasu in Ortum, parallelae ad Aequatorem?
A61244Is it haply, because they seem so to us?
A61244Is it not all one whether opinions and inventions be new to men, or the men new to them?
A61244Is it not difference sufficient, that the simple and absolute are more swift than that which proceeds from predominion?
A61244Is it not known to us, that all these elementary matters move round, together with the Earth?
A61244Is it not only many thousand times greater than the descending motion of the pen, but than that of the stone?
A61244Is it not so?
A61244Is not this your argumentation?
A61244Is there any way to shoot so that these flights may be equal?
A61244Is, not then the Moons Orb one of the Celestial Spheres, and according to consent comprised in the middle of all the rest?
A61244It may be he did not think of them?
A61244It seems then, that the Monethly alteration of ebbings and flowings dependeth on the alteration of the annual motion of the Earth?
A61244Likewise in Haggai: o Is the seed yet in the Bud?
A61244May it not chance, that in its fall to the ground it may acquire a motion?
A61244May we not say, and that with reason, that the structure of a Statue fals far short of the formation of a living man, yea more of a contemptible worm?
A61244Moreover in the fourth Text; doth he not after some other Doctrines, prove it by another demonstration?
A61244Must it be so, because we do not see them?
A61244Nam si naturalis, quomodo& is motus qui circum est, naturalis est, cùm specie differat à recto?
A61244Not so, Sir; I would not deprive you of it: but are the Queries yet at an end?
A61244Now can there a better or more commodious Hypothesis be devised, than this of Copernicus,?
A61244Now how much more neerer is the Moon to the Earth, than to any other of the Coelestial Orbs?
A61244Now if Aristotle had seen these things, what think you he would have said, and done Simplicius?
A61244Now of what use could the generations which we suppose to be made in the Moon or other Planets, ever be to mankind?
A61244Now tell me, what would befall the same moveable upon a superficies that had neither acclivity nor declivity?
A61244Now tell me; have you ever at midnight seen the Terrestrial Globe illuminated by the Sun?
A61244Now what say you to this experiment?
A61244Now what say you, Salviatus touching those stars?
A61244Now what would Simplicius say to this?
A61244Now, Simplicius, what shall we do with the fixed stars?
A61244Now, what doth it import, that that impetus be conferred on the ball rather from the arm than from the horse?
A61244Of a right line which toucheth a circle, which of its points is the nearest to the centre of that circle?
A61244Or can it be said that the Holy Ghost purposed not to teach us a thing that concerned our salvation?
A61244Or do you think that any Peripatetick is equally verst in the Copernican demonstrations?
A61244Or why should that be necessary in the Moon, which importeth nothing on Earth?
A61244Our conclusion which is to be proved, and which is unknown, is it not the stability of the Earth?
A61244Perhaps he is the same with the Author of the Book, called Anti- Tycho?
A61244Perhaps they are new to you?
A61244Quae etiam si esset, quomodò tamen inveniretur in rebus tam contrariis?
A61244Quam ergò veritatem sperare possumus à facultate adeò fallaci ortum trahentem?
A61244Quare centrum sphaere delapsae sub Aequatore spiram describit in ejus plano: sub aliis parallelis spiram describit in cono?
A61244Quare, quae Aequinoctiali propriores, in majori; quae remotiores, in minori circulo feruntur?
A61244Quarè, quò sunt altiores, celeriùs; quò humiliores, tardiùs?
A61244Quid est verò decipi sensum, nisi haec esset deceptio?
A61244Sed contra —[ In English thus] If from an externe principle; Whether God doth not excite it by a continued Miracle?
A61244Shall we dismantle that fort in which we are safe from all hostile assaults?
A61244Shall we then overthrow that Fabrick under which so many passengers find shelter?
A61244Si latio circularis gravibus& levibus est naturalis, qualis est ea quae fit secundùm lineam rectam?
A61244Si primum; quale nam illud?
A61244Si terra staret per voluntatem Dei, rotaréntne caetera, an non?
A61244So I think, provided one did lay it down gently: but if it had an impetus given it towards any part, what would follow?
A61244So that the recession of the project from the circumference of the precedent circular motion is very small in the begining?
A61244So that, if those lines should not be equal, that same solidity would be no longer a sphere?
A61244Tell me a little, do not these motions go continually accelerating?
A61244Tell me in the next place?
A61244Tell me now what you believe the same ball would do put upon the Horizontal plane AB?
A61244Tell me now which appears clearest unto you, that of the Wall or that of the Glasse?
A61244Tell me now, doth not this wet brick shew more dull than the other dry ones?
A61244Tell me now; do you believe that the Moon is really more shining in the night than day, or that by some accident it seemeth so?
A61244Tell me therefore, how much do you think sufficeth to make that motion swifter than this?
A61244Tell me therefore; know you that a thing which moveth, being impeded stands still?
A61244Tell me, therefore, do you think that a Ship which should sail from the Strait of Gibralter towards Palestina can eternally move towards that Coast?
A61244Tell me; of two penduli hanging at unequal distances, doth not that which is fastned to the longer threed make its vibrations more seldome?
A61244Texts, after the definition of Continual?
A61244That those Truths which we know, are very few, in comparison of those which we know not?
A61244The Diurnal motion of the primum mobile, is it not from East to West?
A61244The Earth, the Sun, and Stars, what things are they in nature?
A61244The middle term, which ought to be known, is it not the streight and perpendicular descent of the stone?
A61244The moveable is here the same, that is, the same pen; now how can the same moveable superate and exceed it self in motion?
A61244Then it seems the arrows shot, are to penetrate the air?
A61244Then the four Medicean Planets, and the companions of Saturn came first into Heaven, when we began to see them, and not before?
A61244Then the remotenesse of the Moon is not so great, that a like angle should be* insensible in her?
A61244Then you do not think that the sight would fall upon that point of the Starry Sphere, that answereth to the direction of the Top- Gallant Top?
A61244Therefore tell me, Simplicius, do you think there can be any shadow, where the rays of the Sun do shine?
A61244Therefore tell me, what and where is this your intended centre?
A61244These Propositions to my ears sound very harsh: and I believe to yours Simplicius?
A61244They also may, perhaps, have their productions of things unknown to us?
A61244This is truly admirable: and do you say that there is a Mathematical demonstration for it?
A61244To the end they might seem so very small, and might have no influence at all upon the Earth?
A61244To what end?
A61244To what purpose is such a needlesse monstrous* immensity between them and Saturn?
A61244Very well, Sir, have you ever a better experiment than this?
A61244Very well: and for moveables equally swift, what''s your conceit of them?
A61244Was it not enough that he could say of them the same which he spoke of the New stars?
A61244Were they produced for the Earth, for an inconsiderable point?
A61244What Philosopher hath writ all the parts of Natural Philosophy, and that so methodically without omitting so much as one single conclusion?
A61244What Tygre, what Falcon runneth or flyeth with so much swiftness?
A61244What excellent matter would the Heavens afford us for to make Pallaces of, if we could procure a substance so hard and so transparent?
A61244What in the next place are the tokens that their motions are about the Sun?
A61244What is this, but to make an Oracle of a Log, and to run to that for answers, to fear that, to reverence and adore that?
A61244What of Navigation?
A61244What other Author should we follow in the Schools, Academies and Studies?
A61244What proportion doth one bear to a thousand?
A61244What say you Simplicius?
A61244What say you therefore, is the reflection of a Glasse lesse powerful than that of a Wall?
A61244What shall I say of such and so various Instruments of that Art?
A61244What shall we say of Architecture?
A61244What shall we say therefore?
A61244What then is its contact?
A61244What then?
A61244What truth therefore can we hope for, to be derived from so deceiveable a faculty?
A61244What will it do then?
A61244What wonder is it then, that the first reflection very lively illuminates, and that this other is almost imperceptible?
A61244What would Ships do that lye out at Sea?
A61244What, do they not agree?
A61244Where doth he find that Copernicus maketh the annual motion by the Ecliptick contrary to the motion about its own centre?
A61244Which then are those few that agree in placing the star in the same situation?
A61244Which?
A61244Whilst you were on horseback, did not your hand, and consequently the ball run as fast as the horse it self?
A61244Who can deny it?
A61244Who doubts it?
A61244Who doubts it?
A61244Who will assert that all that is sensible and knowable in the World is already discovered and known?
A61244Who, I pray, in elder times could have found out this Mystery?
A61244Why do you call the four jovial Planets, Moons?
A61244Why do you not answer me?
A61244Why these; Alterable, unalterable; passible,* impassible; generable, ingenerable; corruptible, incorruptible?
A61244Will not they that in other points disagree with us, confess this( and it is a great truth) that Eaquae scimus, sint minima pars corum quae ignoramus?
A61244Will you say that the Air is not a subject different from the arm?
A61244Will you say the air giveth them a velocity greater than its own?
A61244Will you say, that this new Water is borrowed from the Ocean, being brought in by the Straight of Gibraltar?
A61244With what motion doth it move then?
A61244Would it go haply, as in the other shot, by the perpendicular line, and return again by the same?
A61244Would you then from false fundamentals deduce and establish a doubtful conclusion for true?
A61244You believe then, that two stones, or two pieces of Iron taken at chance, and put together, do for the most part touch in one sole point?
A61244You do not think then, that the tangent toucheth the superficies of the terrestrial Globe in one point only?
A61244You have not made an hundred, no nor one proof thereof, and do you so confidently affirm it for true?
A61244[ Which I thus render:] If the Earth be supposed to stand still by the will of God, should the rest of bodies turn round or no?
A61244[ in English thus:] Which although it were, yet how could it be found in things so contrary?
A61244[ scilicet:] Why are those near the Aequinoctial carried about in a greater circle, and those which are remote in a lesser?
A61244an verò Angelus, an aër?
A61244and confequently, do you not know in genere, that every bright body shews the clearer, by how much the ambient is obscurer?
A61244and hath as yet the Vine and the Fig- tree, and the Pomegranate, and the Olive- tree brought forth?
A61244and how much faster doth a piece of pure Earth descend, than a piece of Wood?
A61244and how should the forces waste, where they are not at all imployed?
A61244and if he saw them, what doth he say unto them?
A61244and saith he not this without the least doubt or haesitation?
A61244and that Wall, finally, what else is it but a little obscure Earth, unapt to shine?
A61244and that for so much a greater space, by how much the superficies were more smooth, so that v. g. upon ice it would run a great way?
A61244and that this is absurd, for that the order of the World is eternal?
A61244and therefore not eternal?
A61244and this greater velocity, what doth confer it on the arrow?
A61244and what course shall the rayes of the Sun keep, which are to passe thorow the body of the Moon, that they may find out our eye?
A61244and what is this?
A61244and where?
A61244and with how much facility?
A61244are they petite things not worth our notice, or grand and worthy of consideration?
A61244as for my part I can think of no other?
