 the firli : for ( as Galilaus tcachcth us) every body hath a par- 

 ticular motion peculiarly proper to it, when nothing diverteth 

 it : and then they flide iucceillvcly, through the fantafiein the 

 lame manner, as when they prefented themfelves to it the firfjt

 gently to their quiet habitation in fome other part of the braine,
