Pages

Chap. 68. Of double motions at one and the same time, on the same matter.

AS for example; spinning flax, or the like is drawn long, and small, twisted hard, and round, and at one time.

A shuttle-cock spins about in a straight line.

The winde spreads, and yet blows straight-out at one and the same time.
