CHAP. VII. (Being an Appendix to the past Discourse)
Wherein is examined what Mr. Hobbs teaches concerning Fluidity and Firmness. Mr. Hobbs mistakes, and so misreports, the Authors Doctrine of the cause of Fluidity, p. 77. His Animadversions on the Doctrine considered, p. 78, 79. Whether fluid bodies are made from parts originally fluid, or from small Solids in motion, &c. p. 79, 80, 81. Mr. Hobbs's Theory of Fluidity and Firmness examined, p. 81, 82, &c. What influence therein his simple circular motion may have, considered, p. 82, 83. That there is a third requisite of a good Hypothesis, viz. That it be not inconsistent with any Truth or Phaenomenon of Nature, p. 84. That Mr Hobbs his Hypo∣thesis wants this requisite, proved by references, p. 85. By instances out of ordinary, not elaborate, Experiments, p. 86. The Conclusion to the Reader, p. 88.
