Further, 5 I, 2 | and earthy bodies straight downward towards the centre-since 6 I, 2 | case with the upward and downward movements, which are natural 7 I, 2 | just as unnatural to it as downward movement; for any one can 8 I, 3 | of all things that move downward, and the lightest that which 9 I, 3 | that case, if it is the downward movement which is unnatural, 10 I, 3 | which is unnatural, the downward will be natural. For we 11 I, 3 | violently aside in an upward or downward direction. For neither naturally 12 I, 6 | infinite. For the upward and downward motions are contraries and 13 I, 6 | to the bottom starts its downward motion, it cannot go farther 14 I, 7 | neither that which moves downward, nor, by the same reasoning, 15 I, 8 | For as superior speed in downward movement implies superior 16 I, 8 | slower would be the upward or downward movement; but the fact is 17 II, 1 | enough to overpower its own downward tendency, and thus has been 18 II, 13| and it will continue its downward movement with nothing to 19 II, 13| prevented from moving with the downward movement which is natural 20 II, 13| this be upward motion or downward or what?

After that we will inquire 39 IV, 3 | which produces upward and downward movement is that which produces 40 IV, 3 | things that move upward or downward is the extremity and the 41 IV, 3 | fire moves upward and earth downward is the same as to ask why 42 IV, 3 | goes upward, a heavy thing downward. The only difference is 43 IV, 4 | moves upward, and earth downward; and, if the quantity is 44 IV, 4 | own nature always moves downward, if no obstacle is in the 45 IV, 4 | upward movement of fire, the downward movement of earth and all 46 IV, 5 | is heavy and always moves downward.
