First in the order and disposure of the words of _Aristotle_, the particle _Simpliciter_, or if you will _absoluté_, is conjoyned with the Verb _to move_, and seperated from the Noun _Causes_, the which is a great presumption in my favour, seeing that the writing and the Text saith, Figures are not the Cause of moving simply upwards or downwards, but of quicker or slower Motion: and, saith not, Figures are not simply the Causes of moving upwards or downwards, and when the words of a Text receive, transposed, a sence different from that which they sound, taken in the order wherein the Author disposeth them, it is not convenient to inverte them. And who will affirm that _Aristotle_ desiring to write a Proposition, would dispose the words in such sort, that they should import a different, nay, a contrary sence? contrary, I say, because understood as they are written; they say, that Figures are not the Causes of Motion, but inverted, they say, that Figures are the Causes of Motion, &c. Moreover, if the intent of _Aristotle_ had been to say, that Figures are not simply the Causes of moving upwards or downwards, but only Causes _Secundum quid_, he would not have adjoyned those words, _but they are Causes of the more swift or slow Motion_; yea, the subjoining this would have been not only superfluous but false, for that the whole tenour of the Proposition would import thus much. Figures are not the absolute Causes of moving upwards or downwards, but are the absolute Cause of the swift or slow Motion; which is not true: because the primary Causes of greater or lesser Velocity, are by _Aristotle_ in the 4th of his _Physicks_, _Text. 71._ attributed to the greater or lesser Gravity of Moveables, compared among themselves, and to the greater or lesser Resistance of the _Medium's_, depending on their greater or less Crassitude: and these are inserted by _Aristotle_ as the primary Causes; and these two only are in that place nominated: and Figure comes afterwards to be considered, _Text. 74._ rather as an Instrumentall Cause of the force of the Gravity, the which divides either with the Figure, or with the _Impetus_; and, indeed, Figure by it self without the force of Gravity or Levity, would opperate nothing.
