The paragraph reads: 16. Hence, according to article 10, if the femi-diameter of a fphare of the fame denfity with the fun were to exceed that of the fun in the proportion of goo to 1, a body falling from an infinite height towards it, would have acquired at its furface a greater velocity than that of light, and confeguently, fup-poling light to be attracted by the fame force in proportion to its vis inertize, with other bodies, all light emitted from fuch a body would be made to return towards it, by its own proper gravity.
