Axiom (Physical interlude) — Part II
Latin
Omnes modi quibus corpus aliquod ab alio afficitur corpore, ex natura corporis affecti et simul ex natura corporis afficientis sequuntur ita ut unum idemque corpus diversimode moveatur pro diversitate naturæ corporum moventium et contra ut diversa corpora ab uno eodemque corpore diversimode moveantur.
English (Elwes 1883)
--All modes, wherein one body is affected by another body, follow simultaneously from the nature of the body affected and the body affecting; so that one and the same body may be moved in different modes, according to the difference in the nature of the bodies moving it; on the other hand, different bodies may be moved in different modes by one and the same body.
Modern English
All the modes in which one body is affected by another follow from the nature of the affected body and at the same time from the nature of the affecting body, so that one and the same body can be moved in different ways according to the different natures of the bodies that move it, and conversely, different bodies can be moved in different ways by one and the same body.
