A voyage to the world of Cartesius written originally in French, translated into English by T. Taylor, of Magdalen Colledge in Oxford.

PART IV.

• THe Zeal of the Author, converted to Cartesia∣nism, to promote the Sect, and which he ex∣presses in a Letter he wrote to Cartesius after his Re∣turn Page 242
• He is much perplexed by the Ingenious Peripate∣ticks Page 243
• The Ordinary Arguments against Cartesius his System propos'd and refuted Page 244
• The Author sometimes sides with Cartesius, to re∣fute him more easily Page 246
• Motion of Matter seems not impossible in the Car∣tesian System Page 248
• A new Method of proving it possible Page 250
• Other Difficulties drawn from Cartesius his own Principles, proposed by the Peripateticks to the Au∣thor, whose solution he desires of Cartesius Page 259
• The first Argument: That by the Principles of Car∣tesius, the Sun and Stars may be prov'd opaque Bo∣dies, as are the Planets of the Earth Page 260
• Argument 2. That by Cartesius his Principles we could not see the Stars nor the Sun it self Page 265

• Argument 3. That Cartesius his Principles suppos∣ed, it is impossible for the Earth to have a particular Vortex in the great Vortex of the Sun Page 276
• The Consequence of the preceeding Demonstration in Astronomy and Physicks. The Moon could no lon∣ger turn about the Earth; nor the Satellites of Jupi∣ter about him Page 287
• Heavy Bodies would not descend to the Centre of the Earth, but would fall towards the Sun ibid.
• There would be no flux or reflux of the Sea Page 289
• The General Principle of all the Physical Effects of the lower World quite over-turned Page 291
• Cartesius his Inconstancy concerning the Properties of his Elements Page 293
• The Physical Arguments that are weak against Co∣pernicus, touching the Motion of the Earth, are strong against the Cartesians Page 294
• Propositions of very great importance in Physicks, advanced without Proof, and supposed against all Reason by Cartesius Page 296
• The Author importunes Cartesius to send him the Solution of all these Difficulties Page 297
