parts of a Mixture may be produced, and yet onthe Conflict the Mixture shall become not onlynot Hot , but sensibly and considerably Cold ; tho

I say thele seem to bid very fair for a Proof ofGajjendus s Opinion; yet on the other handtiscertain, that a bare Privation of Motion will pro-duce, or rather occasion Effects as considerable asany of those of Cold ; as the Excellent Mr. Boylelargely shews in his Dialogue about the Positiveor Privative Nature of Cold: And also, if itshould be askt how the Frigorifick Particles them-selves become cold ? What degree of Gravityor Levity they have? What kind ot Structurein them is proper to produce such an Effect ?Whether such a Structure be destructible or mu-table, or not ? Whether these Frigorifick Particlesbe Primitive Bodies or not ? and whether therewas not Cold in the World rill they were produ-ced ? If these or such like Queries were madeabout the Nature and Circumstances of the Fri-gorifick Particles, it would I believe puzzle theMaintained of the Opinion of Gajjendus to givesatisfactory Answers to them, and therefore theDecision of this Point must be suspended further.

Air. Bojle found, that though Whiter usually ex-pands it self in Freezing, yet 'tis al way first con-tracted or condensed; and that Spirit of Wine,common exprest Oyls, and Chymical Oyl of An-il steeds it self will be notably condensed when ex-posed to an intense degree of Cold. And hesound that no oilier Liquor but Water, or one inwhich there are store of Watery Particles will e-ver be expanded by Cold. The Reason of whichperhaps may be, that Water contains more Airin its Pores than other Fluids, andcis not impro-bable, that from the Co-alescence of many of theAc real Particles into one during the Action of

Freezing,
