gent ? It is evident, that it can only be the Globules 
of the upper Stratum that anfwer thereto. The Line 
CE is therefore compofed only of a certain Number 
of Points feparate one from the other, and which 
confequently can move one without the other. 
Therefore if the Line IC is perpendicular to the 
Globule that occupies the Point C, and that it paffes 
through its Centre ; there will be no Decompofure, 
and the Force I C will not change into a Force that 
has the Radius O C for its Direction. 
Now it is infinitely probable, that the Radius I C 
paflfes through the Centre of the Globule C ; and it 
is eafy to demonftrate, that it is actually fo even in the 
Principles of Monfieur Saurin^ who firft invented 
this central Decomposition. For what has been the 
Caufe of the Decompofition of the circular Velocity 
into the centrifugal Force I C ? It feems plain to me, 
that no other Caufe can be alligned than the Point 
or Globule C ; feeing there is but that one at the 
Point where it happened. The Line I C palTes then 
through the Centre of the Globule Cj Since the
