CHAP. XXIII. Of Motion.

PYTHAGORAS and PLATO affirme, that Motion is a certeine difference and alteration in matter.

ARISTOTLE giveth out, that it is the actuall operation of that which is mooveable.

DEMOCRITUS saith, that there is but one kinde of Motion, to wit, that which tendeth [ 50] obliquely.

EPICURUS maintaineth twaine, the one direct and plumbe, the other side-long.

EROPHILUS is of opinion, that there is one Motion perceptible in reason, and another object to sense naturall.

HERACLITUS excluded all station, rest and repose out of the world: For this (quoth hee) belongeth unto the dead, but perpetuall Motion agreeth to eternall substances; and perish∣able Motion to substances corruptible.
