“Among these Ways, or any other whatever, of generating Magnitudes, the Primary and Chief is, that perform'd by local Motion, which all of them must in some Sort suppose, because without Motion, nothing can be generated or produced and therefore this must first be considered. The following Axiom of Aristotle concerning Motion is famous… He that is ignorant of Motion, must necessarily know nothing of Nature… in Nature every Thing created is produc'd by Motion, or certainly not without Motion.”
