  4. And probably it is put into such AES at its Rrst emisiOn

  8. In this Proposition I suppole the transparent Bodies
  9. tobe thick, because if the thicknels ot the Body BC
  10. muich less than che interval et the AIS OF eat rellexion
  11. and transmission of the rays, the Body lolethits rerectino

  13. the Body are put into fts of ealy transmistion, arrive at
  14. the turthest surtace ot the Body betore they be out oF
  15. those Ats they must De transmitted. And this is the
  16. reason whr Bubbles oF Water lose their reflectinqe porver

  21. Those surfaces of transparent Bodies, Which if the ray
  22. be in a fit of refraction do refract it most stronoly, if the
  23. ray be in a fit of reflexion do reflect it most easily.
  24. For re Bhemed abore in Prop. 8. that the cause ot
  25. reflexion is not the impingins ot Light on the solid
