§ Appetites and Motions, are of two forts 3 either motions fimpk , 

 which contain in them the Roots of all natural Adions; but yet ac- 

 cording to the Schemes and habitudes of Matter : or Motions compofited 

 andprodu&edj from which laft, the received Philofophy of the Times 

 (which comprehends little of the Body of Nature) takes its beginning. 

 But fuch Compound Motions (as Generation Corruption , aud the reft ) 

 fhould be taken for the fumms and produ&s of fimple Motions 5 rather 

 thsia Cor rrir»itive Motions. Motions fimple , are Motions of .^«/7/;';?/e , 

 commonly called Motion oppofing Penetration of Dimenfions 3 Motion 

 of Connexion, or Continuity, which they call. Motion to avoid vacuity; 

 Motion of Liberty , left there ftiould be any compreffion or extenfi- 

 on preternatural , Motioninto a new fphere, or to Rarefaftion and Con- 

 denfation j Motion of a fecond connexion,ox a motion left there fhould 

 be a foiution of continuity 3 Motion of greater Congregation , or to 

 the Ma(s of their connaturals, which is commonly called Natural Moti- 

 on; Motion of lejfer Congregation, ulually ftilcd, Motion of Sympathy 

 and of Antipathy ; Motion Difponent, or that parts may be rightly 

 placed in the whole ; Motion of Ajfimilation, or of Multiplication of its 

 Nature upon another ; Motion of Excitation , where the more noble 

 and vigorous agent awaketh, and ftirs up Motion latent and dormant 

 in another > Motion of the Seal or oflmprejfioti, that is. Operation with- 

 out Communication of Subftance ; Motion Regal, or a Cohibition of 

 other Motions from a Motion Predominant ; Motion without Termina- 

 tion, or Spontaneous Rotation j Motion of Trepidation, or of Contra- 

 ftionand Dilatation of Bodies placed betwixt things good for them^ 

 and obnoxious to them; /^/y. Motion of Reji or abhorrency of Motion, 

 which is th-eCaufe of many things. Of this kind are fimple Motions 

 which truly iflue forth out of the inward bowels of Nature ; which 

 complicatejcontinuate^interchang'd reprefsM^repeated, and many ways 

 aggregated, do conftitute thofe Compofite Motions or Summs of Moti- 

 ons, which arereceivd, and fuch other of the fame kind. The Summs 

 of Motions are thole Celebrated Motions, Generation, Corruption, Aug- 

 mentation, Diminution, Alteration and Lation,fo Mixtion, Separation ^ 

 Verfton. 



^ There remains only as Appendices ofPhyficI^, the Meafures of Motions 5 

 of what efficacy the ^^ntity, or Dofe of Nature is ? what drfiance can 

 do, which is called, not unproperly, the orb of Virtue or Aftivity > 

 what incitalion, or Tardity, can efteft > IVhat a long orflwrt delay ? IVhat 

 the force or rcbatement of a thing ? IVhat the injiigation of Perifiajie or 

 circumambient inclofure > And thele are the natural and genuine 

 Parts of true natural Philofophy, touching Abfira&s. For in the figu-
