What be Positions?

Positions be those principles, which although they need no other proofe, yet they be not so easily vnderstood of all men at the first vttering, as Maximes bee: for in these, besides the knowledge of the termes, it is needfull to haue also some ex∣perience, as in these Principles. Euery thing that is compoun∣ded of matter and forme is moueable: whatsoeuer is heauie, tendeth naturally downeward, and whatsoeuer is light, ten∣deth vpwards. Againe, of Positions, some are called Defini∣tions, and some Suppositions, and of Suppositions, some are called Petitions, called in Latine Postulata, and some Supposi∣tions assumpted.
