Reprinted by John Martin and James Allestry in fol. London. We could not but give the Curious Reader notice of this reprinted and in divers places considerably enriched Book; but chiefly increased by the Addition of a very Philosophical Discourse about the
Absolute Rest in Bodies
, wherein the Noble Author, with his usual modesty as well as acuteness, delivers his Thoughts concerning the Intestin Motions of the particles of
Quiescent Solids
, and in doing so calls the
Absolute Rest
of Bodies in Question, by undertaking to prove, That some of those Bodies, which we think have their parts
most
at Rest, are not exempted from having internal Motions in them; to which proof he Judgeth 'twill be consequent, that it must be probable, that in other Bodies, whose Solidity is confessed inferiour, the component Particles are not in a State of
Perfect
Rest.
