" Gravity is a mutual corporeal disposition among kindred bodies to unite or join together ; thus the earth attracts a stone much more than the stone seeks the earth.
( The magnetic faculty is another example of this sort )....
If two stones were set near one another in some place in the world outside the sphere of influence of a third kindred body, these stones, like two magnetic bodies, would come together in an intermediate place, each approaching the other by a space proportional to the bulk of the other .... For it follows that if the moon's power of attraction will be much more likely to extend to the moon and far beyone, and accordingly, that nothing that consists to any extent whatever of terrestrial material, carried up on high, ever escapes the grasp of this mighty power of attraction .”
