Motion on 2d thoughts seems to be a simple idea.
P.
Motion distinct from ye thing moved is not conceivable.
N.
Mem. To take notice of Newton for defining it [motion]; also of Locke's wisdom in leaving it undefin'd[63].
Ut ordo partium temporis est immutabilis, sin etiam ordo partium spatii. Moveantur hæ de locis suis, et movebuntur (ut ita dicam) de seipsis. Truly number is immensurable. That we will allow with Newton.
P.
Ask a Cartesian whether he is wont to imagine his globules without colour. Pellucidness is a colour. The colour of ordinary light of the sun is white. Newton in the right in assigning colours to the rays of light.
A man born blind would not imagine Space as we do. We give it always some dilute, or duskish, or dark colour—in short, we imagine it as visible, or intromitted by the eye, wch he would not do.
