| MOVEABLE, &c. |
|
| A Moveable being in the state of Rest shall not move unlesse it have an inclination to some particular Place. |
11 |
| The Moveable accellerates its Motion in going towards the Place whither it hath an inclination. |
11 |
| The Moveable departing from Rest goeth thorow all the Degrees of Tardity. |
11 |
| The Moveable doth not accelerate save only as it approacheth near to its terme of Rest. |
12 |
| To introduce in a Moveable a certain Degree of Velocity, Nature made it to move in a Right Line. |
12 |
| The Moveable departing from Rest passeth through all the Degrees of Velocity without staying in any. |
13 |
| The Grave Moveable descending, acquireth Impetus sufficient to recarry it to the like height. |
13 |
| The Impetus of Moveables equally approaching to the Centre are equal. |
14 |
| Upon an Horizontal Plane the Moveable lyeth still. |
14 |
| A single Moveable hath but one only Natural Motion, and all the rest are by participation. |
103 |
| A Line described by a Moveable in its Natural Descent, the Motion of the Earth about its own Centre being presupposed, would probably be the Circumference of a Circle. |
145 |
| A Moveable falling from the top of a Tower moveth in the Circumference of a Circle. |
146 |
| A Moveable falling from a Tower moveth neither more nor lesse, then if it had staid alwayes there. |
146 |
| A Moveable falling from a Tower moveth with an Uniforme not an Accelerate Motion. |
146 |
| The Cadent Moveable, if it fall with a Degree of Velocity acquired in a like time with an Uniform Motion, it shall passe a space double to that passed with the Accelerate Motion. |

| Admirable Problems of Moveables descending by the Quadrant of a Circle, and those descending by all the Chords of the whole Circle. |

| MUNDANE. |
|
| Mundane Bodies were moved in the beginning in a Right Line, and afterwards circularly, according to Plato. |

| NATURAL. |
|
| That which is Violent cannot be Eternall, and that which is Eternal cannot be Natural. |
116 |
| NATURE, and Natures. |
|
| Nature attempts not things impossible to be effected. |
10 |
| Nature never doth that by many things which may be done by a few. |
99 |
| Nature first made things as she pleased, and afterwards capacitated Mans understanding for conceiving of them. |
238 |
| From Common Accidents one cannot know different Natures. |
238 |
| Natures Order is to make the lesser Orbes to Circulate in shorter times, and the bigger in longer. |
243 |
| That which to us is hard to be understood, is with Nature casie to be effected. |
403 |
| Nature keeping within the bounds assigned her, little careth that her Methods of opperating fall within the reach of Humane Capacity. |
433 |
| Natures Actions no less admirably discover God to us than Scripture Dictions. |
434 |
| NERVES. |
|
| The Original of the Nerves according to Aristotle, and according to Physitians. |

| OBJECTS. |
|
| Objects, the more Vigorous they are in Light, the more they do seem to encrease. |
305 |
| That Remote Objects appear so small is the Defect of the Eye, as is demonstrated. |
337 |
| In Objects far Remote and Luminous, a small accession or recession is imperceptible. |

| OPINIONS. |
|
| It's all one, whether Opinions are new to Men, or Men new to Opinions. |
