Def. VII.

Vis centripetae quantitas acceleratrix est ipsius mensura Velocitati pro∣portionalis, quam dato tempore generat.

Uti Virtus Magnetis ejusdem major in minori Distantia, minor in majori: vel vis gravitans major in Vallibus, minor in cacuminibus praealtorum montium (ut experimento pendulorum constat) at{que} adhuc minor (ut posthac patebit) in majoribus distantiis a Terra; in aequalibus autem distantiis eadem undi{que} propterea quod corpora omnia cadentia (gravia an levia, magna an parva) sublata Aeris resistentia, aequaliter accelerat.
