11. In slow motions.
This also happens where the motion is so slow as not to supply a constant train of fresh ideas
to the senses, as fast as the mind is capable of receiving new ones into it; and so other ideas of our own thoughts,
having room to come into our minds between those offered to our senses by the moving body, there the sense of
motion is lost; and the body, though it really moves, yet, not changing perceivable distance with some other
bodies as fast as the ideas of our own minds do naturally follow one another in train, the thing seems to stand still;
as is evident in the hands of clocks, and shadows of sun-dials, and other constant but slow motions, where,
though, after certain intervals, we perceive, by the change of distance, that it hath moved, yet the motion itself we
perceive not.
