ridebitur qui Anset Elaterem, et Cx FTypothesi (IC PrRePEOPere COn-
ficta motum Indicis explicare fulcipict: oportuit enim internam
Machinae Fabricam penitius perfcrutari, ut ita motus provositi prin-
cipium verum exploratum habere posset. Idem vel non absimile
feretur judicium de Philosophis illis, qui materia quadam subci-
listima Caelos esse repletos, hanc aurem in Vortices indesinenter
agi voluerune. Nam S Phanomenis vel accuratissime PaFISFaCCre
possene ex IIrpochesibus suis; veram tamen Philosophiam eradi-
disse, e veras causas motuum exelestium invenisse nondum di-
cendi lunt; nisi vel has revera existere, vel laltem alias non ex-
iltere demonstraverint. Igitur E ostentum tuerie, univertorum
corporum Aetractionem habere verum locum in rerum natura;
quineriam oltensum fuerit, qua ratione mocus omnes caelestes ab-
inde solurionem recipiane; vana fuerit et merito deridenda objectio.
Si quis dixeri eoldem motus per Vorrices explicari debere, etiamsi
id heri polle vel maxime concelterimus. Non autem concedimus;
Nequeunt enim ullo pacto Phaenomena per Vortices explicari;
quod ab Auctore nosro abunde quidem ec clarissimis rationibus
evincitur; ut somniis plus aequo induls eane oporteat, qui incp
tissimo Egmento relarciendo, novisque porro commentis ornando
infelicem operam addicunt.
Si corpora Plancearum ec Cometarum circa Solem deferantur
a Vorticibus; oportet corpora delata ex Vorticum partes proxime
ambientes eadem relocitate cademque cursus determinatione mo-
veri, ex candem habere densitatem vel eandem Vim inertix pro
mole materiae. Constat vero Planecas ex Cometas, dum versan-
tur in iisdem resionibus Calorum, velocitatibus variis variaque
cursus determinatione moveri. Necessario itaque sequitur, vt
Eluidi exlestis parres illae, quae sunt ad caldem distantias a Sole,
revolrantur eodem tempore in plasas diversas cum diversis ve-
locitatibus: erenim alia opus erit directione ex velocitate, ut tran-
Sire DONInE PIanCEX; alia, UE EraNArC POMInE CometX. Quod cum
explicari negueat; vel tatendum eries universa corpora caelestia
non deferri a materia Vorricis; vel dicendum crie, corundem mo-
tus reperendos esse non ab uno codemque V’ortice, sed a pluribus
qui ab invicem dirersi sines idemque spatium Soli circumjectum
pervactane.
Si plures Vorrices in eodem spatio contineri, et Pese mutuo pe
necrare, mocibusque diversis revolvi ponantur; quoniam hi mo-
cus debene esse contormes delatorum corporum motibus, qui
Tune
