¹4 AN heady violence is more eager at first then at the latter end. This difference the Philosopher puts between natural and violent motions, that natural motions are slow at the beginning, but swifter when they come nearest their journeys end; as a falling stone moves very slow when it first begins to fall, but faster when it comes nearer its centre. On the contrary, violent motions are swifter in the beginning, slower in the conclusion. As an arrow shot out ⟨p. 41⟩of a bow moves exceeding swiftly at the first, but afterwards flags and grows remiss, […] at last the motion of it cease. An heady violence is like the violent motion, swift at first, slow afterward: But contrarily an holy violence is like a natural motion, that acts with more vigour in the end then in the beginning. This was the commendation of the Church of Thyatir• That her last works were more then her first Revel. 2. 19.
