Salv.I would answer for my self typically phrases, that if it had been appointed by the will of God, that the Earth should stop from its diurnal revolution, those birds would do what ever should please the same Divine will. Where now we have motive to imagine, in the case of a selected child, that a perverse mode of sexual sensibility is creating, we shall often discover it preferable fairly to try to hinder the expansion of the perversion, than to try to cheek the overall manifestations of the sexual impulse. But if this Author want a more particular answer, I should tell him, that they’d do quite contrary to what they do now, if whilst they, being separated from the Earth, do bear themselves up within the air, the Terrestrial Globe by the desire of God, should all on a sudden be put upon a precipitate movement; it concerneth this Author now to ascertain us what would in this case succeed. After all, few spectators have been there to see Harding put on a boxing clinic. A lot of them are of considerable size, and with a very few exceptions, additional-European.
Why are those near the Æquinoctial carried about in a better circle, and people that are distant in a lesser? Why is the same ball beneath the Æquinoctial wholly turned round the centre of the Earth in the best circumference, with an incredible celerity; however underneath the Pole about its personal centre, in no circuite, however with the ultimate diploma of tardity? Moreover, how comes it to go that these things, so numerous, are onely moved from the West in the direction of the East, parallel to the Æquinoctial? If a circular lation is pure to heavy and light things, what’s that which is made in accordance with a right line? Sagr.I pray you, Salviatus, at my request to grant to this Author, that the Earth standing still by the desire of God, the other things, separated from it, would continue to turn spherical of their own pure motion, and allow us to hear what impossibilities or inconveniences would observe: for I, as to my own particular, don’t see how there will be larger disorders, than these produced by the Author himself, that is, that Larks, though they need to flie, could not be capable to hover over their nests, nor Crows over snails, or rocks: from whence would follow, that Crows should suffer for need of snails, and young Larks should die of hunger, and chilly, not with the ability to be fed or sheltered by the wings of the old ones.
But such various natures of issues are once more repugnant, similar to are birds, snails, stones, darts, snows, smoaks, hails, fishes, &c. Salv.If these things earlier than named are of diverse natures, and things of various natures can’t have a movement in common, it should observe, if you would give satisfaction to all, that you are to think of, greater than two motions onely of upwards and downwards: and if there have to be one for the arrows, one other for the snails, one other for the stones, and one other for fishes; then are you to bethink your self of worms, topazes and mushrums, which are not much less completely different in nature from each other, than snow and hail. Sagr.Not so, Sir; I would not deprive you of it: however are the Queries but at an end? Feeling insulted by Art’s views, they end the dinner. I used to be at first unable to tell what species it was, as it had a most unusual look on the wing, but its subsequent near strategy enabled me to ascertain for sure that it was a specimen of this insect. The first of which is in these words: Si secundum (nempè, si dicas tale principium esse substantiam) illud est aut materia, aut forma, aut compositum.
Sed repugnant iterum tot diversæ rerum naturæ, quales sunt aves, limaces, saxa, sagittæ, nives, fumi, grandines, pisces, &c. Simpl.Quarè, quò sunt altiores, celeriùs; quò humiliores, tardiùs? If the entire Earth, together with the Water were decreased into nothing, no hail or rain would fall from the clouds, however can be onely naturally carried round; neither any fire or fiery thing would ascend, seeing to these that men it is not any improbable opinion that there isn’t a fireplace above. Not only was it cold and raining the whole time, however the county of Pennsylvania that it was held in was below a flood warning (not watch, warning) the entire time. At the same time, there is no such thing as a purpose why the idea of privateness should be prolonged to provide blanket libertarian permission for individuals to do anything they like provided that what they do is sexual and carried out in private. Once we lastly acquired there we settled in nicely. And if I may offer you my judgment freely, I will say, that I can’t draw from all these Queries, any sense that interfereth with the motion of the Earth; for if I demand of this Author, (granting him that the Earth doth not transfer) what would follow in all these particulars, supposing that it do transfer, as Copernicus may have it; I’m very confident, that he would say that every one these effects would happen, that he hath objected, as inconveniences to disprove its mobility: in order that on this mans opinion mandatory consequences are accounted absurdities: however I beseech you, if there be any extra, dispatch them, and free us speedily from this wearisom task.
