1 I, 2 | or limited in its total mass, is a matter for subsequent 2 I, 6 | the infinite body a finite mass, BD, the weight of which 3 I, 6 | is the weight of a lesser mass. Suppose then that the smaller 4 I, 6 | weight is that of the lesser mass, the greater must be that 5 I, 6 | with the weight or with the mass. For example, assume the 6 I, 6 | and take from the infinite mass a part BD of weight E. Then 7 I, 6 | of weight E. Then let a mass BF be taken having the same 8 I, 6 | to one another. (For the mass being infinite you may subtract 9 I, 6 | will be commensurate in mass and in weight alike. Nor 10 I, 6 | demonstration whether the total mass has its weight equally or 11 I, 6 | to take from the infinite mass a body of equal weight to 12 I, 6 | question. Even if the total mass is not infinite, it may 13 I, 7 | a greater and a smaller mass in longer and shorter times, 14 I, 7 | same place as the whole mass of earth, and a spark to 15 I, 7 | same place as the whole mass of fire. So that if it be 16 I, 8 | that case the larger the mass of fire or earth the slower 17 I, 8 | reverse: the greater the mass of fire or earth the quicker 18 I, 9 | never come to be, any bodily mass whatever outside the circumference. 19 II, 9 | in a generally diffused mass of air or fire, as every 20 II, 11| movement.
