 25        1, LXXVII  |               I have already said. We may very well transfer, therefore,

 50        1, XCIX    |              But then, and then only, may we hope well of the sciences
 51        1, XCIX    |             done; when it is done, we may entertain better hopes of
 52        1, XCIX    |          collateral security, that we may not either stick fast in

 54        1, XCIX    |             far more. For although it may happen once or twice that
 55        1, XCIX    |              Another argument of hope may be drawn from this — that
 56        1, XCIX    |              For in conjecturing what may be men set before them the
 57        1, XCIX    |           prove that noble inventions may be lying at our very feet,

 63        1, XCIX    |            Moreover, I think that men may take some hope from my own
 64        1, XCIX    |           then let them consider what may be expected (after the way
 65        1, XCIX    |             collecting of experience) may with the best effect be
 66        1, XCIX    |      comparison between that which we may lose by not trying and by
 67        1, XCIX    |             what abstract notions one may entertain concerning nature
 68        1, XCIX    |               theories of the heavens may be supposed which agree
 69        1, XCIX    |               of particular works. It may be thought, indeed, that
 70        1, XCIX    |            production of works, which may serve as interest until
 71        1, XCIX    |           that are quite false, which may make a man think that the

 77        1, XCIX    |             works and deeds.~CXXIII~I may say then of myself that

 79        1, XCIX    |               need to know.~CXXVII~It may also be asked (in the way

 97        1, XII     |         breathe out into the air, but may mutually cherish each other;
 98        1, XII     |           cover it up that the spirit may better retain its heat,

101        1, XIII    |         Motion increases heat, as you may see in bellows and by blowing;
102        1, XIII    |           cold increases heat, as you may see in fires during a sharp

104        1, XIII    |             very facile and delicate, may not be impeded by want of

123        1, XXXI    |             the information they give may be of much value.~Lastly,
124        1, XXXI    |          looked into a little. For it may be that in some of them
125        1, XXXIII  |     substances, heat is variable, and may come and go, but all flame

133        1, XXXV    |               point a bubble of water may be taken as an instance
134        1, XXXV    |         motion of gravity. So that it may be conjectured that a dense

136        1, XXXVI   |               rivers from the sea. It may therefore happen in a like
137        1, XXXVI   |               the same time. And this may be most conveniently ascertained
138        1, XXXVI   |             consent or magnetic force may happen. Now in the first

143        1, XXXVI   |          direction, then certainly we may set down thus much as established,
144        1, XXXVI   |               established, that there may be in nature some such motion.
145        1, XXXVI   |             increased in the mine, we may take the attraction of the

151        1, XXXVI   |             this subject therefore we may take the following as an
152        1, XXXVI   |           quite heterogeneous.~But we may have an instance of the
