they_o in_o which_o he_o run_v over_o the_o world_n in_o order_n as_o it_o appear_v to_o his_o eye_n and_o if_o you_o well_o consider_v this_o psalm_n it_o be_v a_o paraphrase_n upon_o the_o six_o

to_o wit_n the_o greatness_n and_o power_n of_o god_n in_o create_v so_o huge_a a_o mass_n so_o firm_a and_o steadfast_a if_o a_o astronomer_n shall_v teach_v that_o the_o earth_n be_v place_v among_o

sagr._fw-la i_o clear_o perceive_v all_o this_o and_o understand_v very_o well_o that_o the_o moon_n depart_v from_o its_o opposition_n to_o the_o sun_n where_o it_o see_v no_o part_n of_o the_o

shall_v observe_v the_o earth_n but_o in_o a_o contrary_a order_n namely_o that_o when_o the_o moon_n be_v to_o we_o at_o her_o full_a and_o in_o opposition_n to_o the_o sun_n than_o the_o earth_n will_v be_v in_o conjunction_n with_o the_o sun_n and_o whole_o obscure_a and_o invisible_a on_o the_o contrary_a that_o position_n which_o be_v to_o we_o a_o conjunction_n of_o the_o moon_n with_o

all_o enlighten_v and_o last_o look_v what_o part_n of_o the_o lunar_a surface_n appear_v to_o we_o from_o time_n to_o time_n illuminate_v so_o much_o of_o the_o earth_n in_o the_o same_o time_n shall_v you_o behold_v from_o the_o moon_n to_o be_v obscure_v and_o look_v how_o much_o of_o the_o moon_n be_v to_o we_o deprive_v of_o light_n so_o much_o of_o the_o earth_n be_v to_o the_o moon_n

myself_o salv_n well_o i_o will_v make_v you_o believe_v the_o same_o present_o tell_v i_o a_o little_a when_o the_o moon_n be_v near_o the_o full_a so_o that_o it_o may_v be_v see_v by_o day_n and_o

for_o that_o the_o say_a opinion_n be_v in_o those_o time_n total_o bury_v and_o never_o bring_v among_o the_o question_n of_o the_o school_n and_o not_o consider_v much_o less_o follow_v by_o any_o

for_o what_o i_o say_v for_o either_o the_o father_n do_v make_v reflection_n upon_o this_o conclusion_n as_o controvert_v or_o not_o if_o not_o than_o they_o can_v determine_v nothing_o concern_v
