Transcription
The physical constitution of a body is determined by its properties.
The term molecule, which means a “little mafs [mass]” is the smallest divisible portion of matter. The term is mostly applied to what in chemistry is called divisible atoms. The molecule of water is made up of two atoms; one of oxygen and one of hydrogen. Their form is unknown. Different parts of their surfaces are pofsefsed [possessed] of different properties as is manifest by thin polarity.
Molecules and particles are endowed with the forces of attraction and repulsion, called the molecular forces; and polarity.
The three states in which bodies are found are, Wisconsin, Ohio, and Nebraska the solid liquids and gaseous states.
The state of a body is determined by the intensity of the repulsive force operating between its atoms.

A solid is matter in which cohesive attraction is not so far overcome by repulsion as to make it indifferent to form.
