greater times.
101 & 331
It's more rational, that the Orbe containing and the Parts contained do move all about one Centre, than about divers. 295
P
PASSIONS.
Infinite Passions are perhaps but one onely. 87
PENDULUM, and Pendula.
Pendula might have a perpetual Motion, impedi­ments being removed. 203
The Pendulum hanging at a longer thread maketh its Vibrations more seldome than the Pendu­lum hanging at a shorter. 206
The Vibrations of the same Pendulum are made with the same frequency, whether they be small or great. 206
The cause which impedeth the Pendulum, and reduceth it to rest. 206
The thread or Chain to which the Pendulum is fastened maketh an Arch, and doth not stretch it self straight out in its Vibrations. 207
Two particular notable Accidents in the Pendulaand their Vibrations. 411
PERIPATETICK, &c.
Peripatetick Phylosophy unchangeable. 42
A brave resolution of a certain PeripatetickPhilosopher to prove the Right Line to be the shortest of all Lines. 182
The Paralogisme of the said Peripatetick who proveth Ignotum per ignotius. 183
The Discourses of Peripateticks full of Errors and Contradictions. 376
The Peripateticks persecuted Galileo out of envy to his happy Discoveries in Phylosophy. 427
The Peripateticks in defect of Reasons repair to Scripture for Arguments against their Adversaries. 429
PHYLOSOPHERS.
It is not just, that those who never. Phylosophate, should usurp the title of Phylosophers. 96
PHYLOSOPHY.
The Disputes and Contradictions of Phylosophersmay conduce to the benefit of Phylosophy. 25
A cunning way to gather Phylosophy out of any Book whatsoever. 92
PLANETS.
The approximation and recession of the three superiour Planets importeth double the Suns distance. 299
The difference of the Tlanets apparent Magni­tude lesse in Saturn than in Jupiter, and lesse in Jupiter than in Mars, and why. 299
The Station, Direction, and Retrogradation of the Planets is known in relation to the fixed Stars. 347
The particular Structures of the Orbes of the Planets not yet well resolved. 416
The Planets places may more certainly be assigred by this Doctrine, than by that of Ptolomies great Almagest. 469
PLATO.
Plato held, that Humane understanding pertook of Divinity, because it understood Num­bers. 3
Plato his Ænigma, and the Interpretation of it. 498
POLE.
The invariable Elevation of the Pole urged as an Argument against the Annual Motion. 338
An Example to prove that the Altitude of the Pole ought not to vary by means of the Earths Annual Motion. 340
POWER.
Of an infinite Power one would think a greater part should rather be imployed than a lesser. 105
PRINCIPLES.
By denying Principles in Sciences, any Paradox may be maintained. 28
Contrary Principles cannot naturally reside in the same Subject. 211
PROJECT, &c.
The Project, according to Aristotle, is not mo­ved by virtue impressed, but by the Me­dium. 130
Operation of the Medium in continuing the Motion of the Project. 131
Many Experiments and Reasons against the Motions of Projects assigned by Aristotle. 132
The Medium doth impede and not conferre the
