556 APPENDIX. 



(3) By tliis I can make an Artificiall Bird to fly wch way & as 

 long as I please. 



(4) By these I can make a ball of S ilver or Gr old wch throwne 

 into a pale or poole of Water, shall rise againe to y e perfect houre of 

 any day or night : The superficies of y e Water shall still show the 

 houre distinctly, even y e minutes, if I please. 



(5) By this I can make a C hilde in a C oach, to stop y e horses 

 (runing away) & shall be able to secure hims. & those y* bee in 

 y e C oach, having a little E ngine placed therein, wch shall not bee 

 perceived in what posture soever y e horses draw : a C hildes force 

 shall bee able, to disengage them, from overturning y e C oach or 

 prejudicing any body in it. 



(6) By these I can make one pound raise an hundred, as high 

 as y e one pound falls, & y e one pound taken off y e 112 lb shall againe 

 descend, performing y e entire effect of an hundred waight (i.e.) have 

 y* force wch nothing lesse, then 112 lb can have any other way. An 

 incredible effect till seene, but true as strange. 



(7) By these a C hilde shall raise as much water 100 foot 

 high (speaking within C ompasse) as 6. horses can force vp any 

 other way. 



(8) By these I can stop any other Mans Motion, & render it 

 Null, since from any point of y e C ompasse, I can forceably & 

 effectually cause a counterbuffe or absolute obstruction of such 

 Motion, wch way I please all wayes, beeing indifferent to mee to 

 worke a perfect resistance, & to countermine their Intentions, or to 

 force their Motions a cleane contrary way. 



The 9 was left out in y e Original C opy. (9) 



S oe here y u have 9 figures represented, wch in Arithmetick, 

 make all numbers imaginable, soe by y e helpe of these Motions, noe 

 Manufacture, but may be demonstrated exqvisitely & demonstrably 

 & with great ease and facility. And noe Conclusion in y e Mathe- 

 maticks or Mechanicks, but may by these bee brought to passe in 

 great perfection & to admiration. Yet as y e most excellent tooles 

 cannot worke alone ; nor any C ymeter is soe sharp to cut w th out an 

 arme to guide it. S oe without Knowledge, Art, & Ingenuitie, 

 these are fruitlesse. But being set to worke by one of noe more 

 Knowledge then myselfe, am capable off, they will performe w 1 is here 

 asserted & more then I could write, from one end off y e yeare to 

 y e other. 



(Note. No. 9 is here stated to be left out, but may not the first named, or &quot; Quint 

 essence of Motion,&quot; be No. 1, so making up Nine in all ? [See pp. 530, 531.] 

 In the next line the copyist has first written 8 and then altered it to 9, to 

 accord with the sense of the passage.)
