A Second thing (‘which was hinted to me, by the-confideration of the — 
"included fluids: globular form , caufed by the protrufion of the ambient 
heterogeneous fluid) was, whether the Phenomena of gravity might not 
iby this means be:explained,by fuppofing the Globe of Earth; Water, and 
Air to beincluded with a fluid, heterogeneous to all and each of them, — 
-fo fubtil., as notonly to be every where interfperfed through the 4ir, Cor 
ather the air throughit .) but to pervade the-bodies of Gla/s; and’even 
the clofet acetals, by which means it may endeavour to detrude all earth- 
Jy bodies as far from itas it can'y and partly thereby,and partly by-other — 
" of its properties may move them towardsthe Center of the Earth. Now 
that there is fomefuch fluid,I could producemany Experiments and Reéa- —

room tofet them down and explainthem, ‘and to confider and anfwer all —

fluid may not be accounted a econdary caufe of the roundnes or globular — 
form of the greater bodies of the world,fuch as arethofe of the Si#x,Stars, — 
and Planets, the fubftance of each of which feems altogether heterdgene —

A Fourth was, Whether the globular form of the fixaller parcels of — 
matter here upon the Earth, as that of Freits, Pebbles, or Flints , @c. — 
( which feem to. have been a Liquor at firft_) may not-be ‘caufed'by'the —
