There are different opinions about the point. Some understand it of a natural motion.* Philosophers disputing about mountains and hills, conclude that they are subject to generation and corruption; by the addition of many parts they are generated, that is, kneaded or gathered together, and become one huge heap of earth; and by the detraction, falling and crumbling off, or taking away of these parts, they are removed again. Thus we may expound that (Job 14.18.) And surely the mountain falling cometh to nought.
