spacious_a orb_n of_o the_o sun_n and_o star_n shall_v wheel_v constant_o about_o yea_o some_o of_o they_o have_v found_v it_o upon_o a_o culinary_a maxim_n viz._n that_o the_o meat_n which_o be_v to_o be_v roast_v turn_n round_o with_o and_o upon_o the_o spit_n its_o axis_n before_o the_o fire_n but_o we_o do_v not_o see_v that_o the_o fire_n turn_v round_o about_o the_o meat_n just_o so_o the_o earth_n turn_v itself_o round_o to_o the_o sun_n to_o roast_v itself_o and_o who_o will_v expect_v any_o other_o thing_n they_o be_v the_o very_a word_n of_o a_o 1._o great_a astronomer_n this_o be_v their_o kitchin-astronomy_n and_o they_o talk_v more_o like_a cook_n than_o philosopher_n if_o we_o will_v speak_v like_o these_o latter_a we_o must_v confess_v that_o this_o rest_n which_o they_o suppose_v of_o those_o great_a fiery_a body_n be_v against_o the_o very_a nature_n of_o they_o which_o be_v active_a and_o stir_a and_o tend_v to_o a_o circumgyration_n therefore_o it_o be_v a_o unphilosophical_a thought_n to_o imagine_v that_o the_o vast_a body_n of_o the_o heaven_n stand_v still_o see_v their_o very_a nature_n be_v to_o be_v in_o continual_a motion_n the_o etherial_a

in_o motion_n wherefore_o if_o we_o conceive_v aright_o of_o thing_n we_o shall_v apprehend_v it_o very_o reasonable_a to_o believe_v that_o the_o celestial_a body_n be_v in_o perpetual_a motion_n and_o that_o they_o move_v not_o only_o about_o their_o centre_n but_o sally_v out_o into_o a_o progressive_a motion_n and_o constant_o remove_v from_o one_o place_n to_o another_o at_o least_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o other_o body_n that_o be_v about_o they_o or_o be_v in_o other_o sphere_n or_o orbit_n for_o we_o do_v not_o now_o go_v upon_o the_o notion_n which_o des_n cartes_n have_v of_o local_a motion_n according_a to_o who_o the_o earth_n do_v not_o proper_o move_v but_o only_o its_o vortex_n in_o which_o it_o swim_v whilst_o the_o earth_n itself_o be_v all_o the_o time_n in_o

of_o the_o earth_n they_o may_v be_v say_v to_o have_v but_o a_o inconsiderable_a motion_n for_o this_o be_v one_o argument_n which_o be_v use_v by_o they_o for_o their_o opinion_n viz._n that_o it_o be_v not_o likely_a that_o such_o huge_a vast_a body_n as_o these_o and_o so_o many_o of_o they_o shall_v be_v set_v a_o move_a whenas_o the_o earth_n be_v of_o a_o small_a bulk_n in_o respect_n of_o they_o and_o may_v soon_o be_v turn_v about_o and_o beside_o it_o be_v but_o one_o single_a body_n this_o have_v be_v the_o constant_a reason_n if_o i_o may_v so_o call_v it_o of_o those_o that_o adhere_v to_o the_o copernican_n system_fw-la galilaeus_fw-la argue_v after_o this_o manner_n in_o his_o 2._o system_fw-la of_o the_o world_n and_o so_o 4._o kepler_n infer_v the_o motion_n of_o the_o earth_n from_o its_o smallness_n and_o the_o greatness_n of_o the_o heavenly_a body_n another_o progymnas_n great_a mathematician_n use_v this_o comparison_n the_o earth_n be_v more_o easy_o move_v say_v he_o than_o the_o celestial_a luminary_n as_o a_o mother_n with_o more_o ease_n can_v take_v her_o child_n and_o set_v they_o at_o the_o fire_n to_o warm_v they_o than_o she_o can_v remove_v the_o fire_n to_o they_o thus_o they_o all_o along_o fancy_n that_o it_o be_v a_o very_a troublesome_a thing_n for_o these_o huge_a globe_n to_o remove_v from_o place_n to_o place_n they_o conceit_n that_o the_o greatness_n of_o these_o body_n make_v they_o uncapable_a of_o move_v with_o ease_n but_o this_o be_v unphilosophical_a and_o therefore_o we_o may_v just_o look_v upon_o the_o argument_n draw_v from_o it_o as_o so_o too_o what_o man_n of_o unprejudiced_a thought_n can_v persuade_v himself_o that_o geograph_n varenius_n who_o sum_v up_o in_o brief_a the_o sense_n of_o all_o the_o copernican_n discourse_v close_o when_o he_o say_v it_o will_v appear_v that_o the_o earth_n move_v about_o its_o axis_n if_o we_o consider_v the_o vast_a magnitude_n of_o the_o star_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o earth_n the_o sun_n be_v above_o two_o hundred_o time_n big_a than_o the_o earth_n and_o the_o
fix_a star_n be_v above_o a_o thousand_o time_n big_a than_o it_o now_o be_v it_o not_o more_o likely_a that_o the_o earth_n move_v than_o that_o these_o vast_a body_n move_v from_o place_n to_o

be_v the_o more_o part_n in_o motion_n there_o the_o impulse_n be_v strong_a and_o more_o vehement_a and_o where_o there_o be_v this_o vehemency_n the_o motion_n must_v needs_o be_v facile_a it_o be_v put_v on_o with_o so_o much_o strength_n and_o vigour_n especial_o if_o we_o remember_v that_o god_n impress_v this_o motion_n at_o the_o very_a first_o and_o so_o it_o be_v natural_a and_o consequent_o be_v easy_a this_o i_o think_v sufficient_o prove_v that_o they_o who_o argue_v from_o the_o bigness_n of_o the_o sun_n and_o other_o heavenly_a body_n to_o the_o stability_n and_o rest_n of_o they_o have_v no_o ground_n in_o reason_n and_o philosophy_n no_o they_o talk_v after_o a_o popular_a manner_n and_o because_o they_o see_v that_o bulky_a person_n do_v not_o stir_v about_o with_o that_o nimbleness_n which_o be_v observe_v in_o other_o of_o a_o lesser_a size_n they_o think_v it_o be_v so_o with_o the_o sun_n and_o star_n or_o that_o they_o be_v idle_a and_o lazy_a and_o loath_a to_o bestir_v themselves_o or_o it_o may_v be_v they_o proceed_v on_o that_o vulgar_a maxim_n viz._n that_o great_a body_n move_v slow_o and_o because_o that_o those_o of_o the_o heaven_n be_v very_o great_a they_o will_v not_o suffer_v they_o to_o move_v at_o all_o forget_v in_o the_o mean_a time_n that_o it_o be_v their_o very_a nature_n to_o move_v and_o that_o their_o make_n and_o

10.13_o the_o sun_n stand_v still_o in_o ioshua_n time_n and_o 38.8_o go_v back_o in_o king_n hezekiah_n now_o this_o relation_n be_v either_o true_a or_o false_a it_o must_v be_v one_o of_o they_o if_o it_o be_v the_o latter_a than_o the_o inspire_a scripture_n be_v false_a which_o i_o take_v to_o be_v as_o great_a a_o absurdity_n as_o any_o man_n can_v be_v reduce_v to_o if_o it_o be_v the_o former_a i._n e._n if_o the_o relation_n be_v real_o true_a than_o the_o sun_n have_v a_o diurnal_a motion_n about_o the_o earth_n for_o the_o sun_n be_v stand_v still_o can_v not_o be_v a_o strange_a

that_o the_o sun_n have_v a_o progressive_a motion_n and_o go_v from_o one_o part_n of_o the_o heaven_n to_o the_o other_o if_o it_o be_v say_v as_o it_o be_v suggest_v by_o some_o that_o the_o sun_n

in_o the_o old_a and_o new_a testament_n yea_o even_o when_o it_o make_v mention_v of_o some_o of_o the_o heavenly_a body_n the_o expression_n be_v according_a to_o the_o capacity_n and_o common_a

after_o the_o foresay_a manner_n concern_v these_o thing_n and_o several_a other_o it_o do_v it_o in_o that_o manner_n that_o we_o may_v plain_o see_v that_o the_o word_n be_v not_o to_o be_v take_v
