Chap. 13. Of Thin, and Thick Matter.

THus may thin Matter into Solid run,
And by its motion;, make thick Matter turn
In several wayes, and fashions, as it will,
Although dull Matter of it self lie still:
Tis not, that Solid Matter moves in Thin,
For that is dull, but thin which moves therein.
Like Marrow in the Bones, or Blood in Veins;
Or thinner matter which the blood contains.
Like Heat in Fire, the effect is straight to burn,
So Matter thin makes solid matter run.
