201 1, XLVIII | denote by the axiom "two bodies cannot be in one place,"
202 1, XLVIII | of connection, by which bodies do not suffer themselves
203 1, XLVIII | motion of liberty, by which bodies strive to escape from preternatural

207 1, XLVIII | greater compression of these bodies than they ever do actually
208 1, XLVIII | greater extension of these bodies than they ever do actually
209 1, XLVIII | more than desires which bodies have for preserving themselves
210 1, XLVIII | in the motion of liberty bodies dread, loathe, and shun
211 1, XLVIII | in this motion of matter bodies desire a new sphere or dimension
212 1, XLVIII | is most certain that all bodies dread a solution of continuity,
213 1, XLVIII | extent. For while in hard bodies, as steel or glass, the
214 1, XLVIII | the tenacity of glutinous bodies, and the like. But most
215 1, XLVIII | want. It is that by which bodies, when placed among quite
216 1, XLVIII | heterogeneous and hostile bodies, if they find an opportunity
217 1, XLVIII | they stood in need of such bodies. For instance, gold or any
218 1, XLVIII | for opening and dissolving bodies. For (to say nothing of

237 1, XLVIII | its parts have with such bodies, from which, when spread
238 1, XLVIII | fly from these intervening bodies is more powerful than their
239 1, XLVIII | niter and such like crude bodies, which abhor flame; as in
240 1, XLVIII | the generation of integral bodies, as plants or animals, but
241 1, XLVIII | plants or animals, but of bodies of uniform texture. That
242 1, XLVIII | say, by this motion such bodies convert others which are
243 1, XLVIII | take place only in animate bodies, but inanimate also participate
244 1, XLVIII | that there resides in all bodies a desire for assimilation
245 1, XLVIII | of which I have spoken 1 bodies seem to desire only the

252 1, XLVIII | by which the virtues of bodies are more or less impeded

258 1, XLVIII | motion of rotation, by which bodies delighting in motion and
259 1, XLVIII | their own embraces. For bodies seem either to move without

270 1, XLVIII | that without it the same bodies could not embrace and fill
271 1, XLVIII | the virtues of pneumatical bodies (which otherwise would be
