tempus erat quo credebam, omnia Motuum
Phaenomena ex principiis pure Geometricis explicari
posse, nullis Metaphysicis propositionibus assumtis.

motuum compositionibus pendere; sed hoc impossibile
esse profundiori meditatione deprehendi: et inde didici
didicique veritatem ip tota mechanica potiorem
scilicet omnia quidem in natura explicari posse Mechanice
Sed ipsa principia mechanica ex metaphysicis et quodammodo
moralibus, id est contemplatione causae efficientis  et
finalis, Dei scilicet perfectissime operantis, dependere. ex
brutis antem caecis autem compositionibus motuum nullo
modo deduci posse. Et proinde si ihi impossibile esse
ut nihil sit in mundo praeter materiam ejusque variationes
quod Epicuri secta statuebat. Quod ut clarius appareat
