facilius fangatur quam amolli non tamen quaeritus
cur aut quanta vi superetur cohaesio duarum clavi par

sed cuc non facile sola moneatur.
(64) Claudit aucor Partem secundam, id est generalem
dererum materialium principis admonitione quadam
quae mihi restrictione egere videtur. Nimirum ait, ad natu-
rle phaenomena explicanda non aliis esse opus principus
quam ex mathesi abstracta petitis, seu doctrina de magnitu.
dine figura et motu, necaliam se materiam agnoscere
quam quae subiectum est Geometriae. Ego plane quidem
assentio ominia naturae phaenomena specialia mechanice
explicari posse, si nobis satis essent explorata, neque a
lid ratione causas terum materialium posse intelligi
Sed illud tamen etiam atque etiam considerandum
censeo, ipsa principia mechanica, legesque adeo
naturae generaleo ex altioribus principus nasci nec
pec solam quantitatis acrerum Geometricarum conside
rationem pose explicari; quin potius aliquid meta-
physicum illis inesse, independene anotionibus quas
iebet imaginatio, referendum que ad substantiam
extensionis expertem. Nam preter extensionem
ejusque variabilitates inest materiae vis ipsa seu agendi
potentia quaetransitum facit ametaphylica adnatum
tarri, amaterialibus ad immaterialia. Habet illavis
Leges suas ex principiis non illis solis absolutae atque
ot itadicam brutae necessitatis, vt in mathematicis, sed
perfectae rationis deductas. His vero semel in generali
tractatione constitutis, postea cum phaenomenarum ratu-
ra ratio redditur, omnia mechanice expediri possunt
