of_o the_o world_n or_o define_v any_o certain_a extent_n in_o the_o heaven_n for_o to_o compare_v another_o terrestrial_a length_n unto_o neither_o can_v they_o ever_o find_v out_o a_o exact_a

in_o the_o air_n thick_a or_o more_o compact_a in_o one_o place_n and_o thin_a and_o loose_a in_o another_o the_o telescopium_fw-la or_o prospective_n glass_n discern_v those_o spot_n to_o be_v

astronomer_n do_v receive_v he_o to_o be_v of_o and_o the_o moon_n to_o be_v of_o a_o far_o great_a distance_n from_o the_o earth_n than_o she_o be_v certain_o the_o shadow_n which_o she_o will_v cast_v must_v be_v much_o less_o than_o her_o body_n although_o it_o be_v forty_o time_n big_a than_o it_o be_v because_o the_o sun_n be_v great_a than_o she_o must_v according_a to_o the_o ordinary_a doctrine_n of_o shadow_n only_o suffer_v she_o to_o cast_v a_o conical_a shadow_n who_o extreme_a point_n not_o reach_v to_o the_o earth_n or_o if_o it_o do_v can_v not_o be_v a_o certain_a token_n whence_o to_o draw_v the_o proportion_n or_o distance_n of_o star_n wherefore_o according_a to_o their_o own_o principle_n the_o moon_n may_v be_v conceive_v to_o exceed_v the_o earth_n far_o in_o
