Doth Not This Æthereal Medium In Passing Out Of Water, Glass, Crystal, And Other Compact And Dense Bodies Into Empty Spaces, Grow Denser And Denser By Degrees, And By That Means Refract The Rays Of Light Not In A Point, But By Bending Them Gradually In Curve Lines?

It Seems Probable To Me That God, In The Beginning, Formed Matter In Solid, Massy, Hard, Impenetrable, Moveable Particles, Of Such Sizes And Figures, And With Such Other Properties, And In Such Proportions To Space, As Most Conduced To The End For Which He Formed Them; And That These Primitive Particles, Being Solids, Are Incomparably Harder Than Any Porous Bodies Compounded Of Them, Even So Very Hard As Never To Wear Or Break In Pieces; No Ordinary Power Being Able To Divide What God Had Made One In The First Creation.

It Is Indeed A Matter Of Great Difficulty To Discover, And Effectually To Distinguish, The True Motions Of Particular Bodies From The Apparent; Because The Parts Of That Immovable Space, In Which Those Motions Are Performed, Do By No Means Come Under The Observation Of Our Senses.
