ABSTRACT
Beginning with the slowest motion, it will never acquire any degree of speed (velocità)† without first having passed through all the gradations of lesser speed - or should I say of greater slowness? ............. I did not say, nor dare I, that it was impossible for nature or for God to
confer immediately that velocity which you speak of. I do indeed say that de facto nature does not do so - that the doing of this would be something outside the course of nature, and therefore miraculous.
