immovable_a the_o which_o seem_v to_o i_o easy_a to_o comprehend_v and_o will_v be_v to_o all_o other_o if_o it_o may_v be_v lawful_a to_o imagine_v that_o which_o my_o fancy_n do_v conceive_v for_o if_o we_o suppose_v that_o every_o star_n and_o planet_n be_v a_o body_n of_o itself_o &_o that_o it_o be_v lead_v &_o guide_v by_o a_o angel_n 14._o as_o habacuc_n be_v carry_v into_o babylon_n who_o i_o pray_v you_o be_v so_o blind_a but_o see_v that_o all_o the_o diverse_a aspect_n which_o we_o see_v appear_v in_o planet_n &_o star_n may_v proceed_v from_o the_o diversity_n of_o motion_n which_o he_o that_o guide_v they_o do_v voluntary_o give_v they_o we_o can_v then_o with_o any_o reason_n affirm_v but_o that_o this_o space_n &_o region_n by_o which_o they_o feign_v that_o star_n do_v continual_o march_v and_o roll_v be_v elementary_a and_o corruptible_a see_v it_o divide_v itself_o when_o they_o pass_v the_o which_o undoubted_o do_v not_o pass_v by_o any_o void_a place_n if_o then_o the_o region_n wherein_o the_o star_n and_o planet_n move_v be_v corruptible_a the_o star_n and_o planet_n of_o their_o own_o motion_n shall_v be_v by_o reason_n likewise_o corruptible_a and_o

say_v that_o the_o celestial_a body_n be_v corruptible_a it_o agree_v not_o with_o the_o psalm_n that_o god_n make_v they_o for_o ever_o 148._o and_o it_o be_v less_o conformable_a to_o the_o order_n &_o preservation_n of_o this_o universal_a world_n i_o say_v moreover_o to_o confirm_v this_o truth_n that_o the_o heaven_n move_v and_o in_o they_o the_o star_n march_v in_o turn_v the_o which_o we_o

in_o heaven_n for_o there_o we_o see_v real_o as_o it_o be_v spot_n and_o darkness_n which_o be_v most_o apparent_a the_o which_o i_o remember_v not_o to_o have_v see_v at_o any_o time_n in_o europe_n

answer_v otherwise_o at_o this_o time_n but_o as_o the_o philosopher_n do_v affirm_v that_o this_o via_fw-la lactea_fw-la or_o milken_a way_n be_v compound_v of_o the_o thick_a part_n of_o the_o heaven_n and_o for_o this_o cause_n it_o receive_v the_o great_a light_n and_o contrariwise_o there_o be_v other_o part_n very_o thin_a and_o transparent_a the_o which_o receive_v less_o light_a seem_v more_o black_a &_o obscure_a whether_o this_o be_v the_o true_a reason_n or_o no_o i_o dare_v not_o certain_o affirm_v yet_o be_v it_o true_a that_o according_a to_o the_o figure_n these_o

it_o follow_v then_o by_o all_o that_o we_o have_v say_v that_o the_o heaven_n contain_v in_o it_o all_o the_o part_n of_o the_o earth_n circle_v continual_o about_o it_o without_o any_o more_o

in_o this_o south_n sea_n although_o they_o have_v not_o yet_o discover_v the_o end_n towards_o the_o west_n yet_o of_o late_o they_o have_v find_v out_o the_o land_n which_o they_o call_v solomon_n the_o which_o be_v many_o and_o great_a distant_a from_o peru_n about_o eight_o hundred_o league_n and_o for_o that_o we_o find_v by_o observation_n that_o whereas_o there_o be_v many_o and_o great_a
