B03739	Halley, Edmond, 1656-1742.	May it please the King's most excellent Majesty	1687.0		.xml	application/xml	4448	92	44	The sole Principle upon which this Author proceeds to explain most of the great and surprising appearances of Nature , is no other than that of Gravity , whereby in the Earth all Bodies have a tendency towards its Center ; as is most evident : and from undoubted Arguments it s proved , that there is such a Gravitation towards the Centers of the Sun , Moon and all the Planets . As was said before , the same force decreasing after the same manner is evidently found in the Sun , Moon and all the Planets ; but more especially in the Sun , whose force is prodigious ; becoming sensible even in the immense distance of Saturn : This gives room to suspect that the force of Gravity is in the Celestial Globes proportional to the quantity of Matter in each of them : and the Sun being at least ten thousand times as bigg as the Earth , its Gravitation or attracting Force , is found to be at least ten thousand times as much as that of the Earth , acting on Bodies at the same distances .	cache/B03739.xml	txt/B03739.txt
