i_o have_v great_a news_n for_o you_o that_o which_o i_o tell_v you_o last_o night_n of_o the_o moon_n be_v be_v inhabit_v may_v not_o be_v so_o now_o there_o be_v a_o new_a fancy_n get_v into_o my_o head_n which_o put_v those_o people_n in_o great_a danger_n i_o can_v suffer_v it_o say_v she_o yesterday_o you_o be_v prepare_v i_o to_o receive_v a_o visit_n from_o they_o and_o now_o there_o be_v no_o such_o people_n in_o nature_n once_o you_o will_v have_v i_o believe_v the_o moon_n be_v inhabit_v i_o surmount_v the_o difficulty_n i_o have_v and_o will_v now_o believe_v it_o you_o be_v a_o little_a too_o nimble_a i_o reply_v do_v i_o not_o advise_v you_o never_o to_o be_v entire_o convince_v in_o thing_n of_o this_o nature_n but_o to_o reserve_v half_a of_o your_o understanding_n free_a and_o disengage_v that_o you_o may_v admit_v of_o the_o contrary_a opinion_n if_o there_o be_v any_o occasion_n i_o care_v not_o for_o your_o sentence_n say_v she_o let_v we_o come_v to_o matter_n of_o fact._n be_v we_o not_o to_o consider_v the_o moon_n as_o greenwhich_n no_o say_v i_o the_o moon_n do_v not_o so_o much_o resemble_v the_o earth_n as_o greenwich_n do_v london_n the_o sun_n draw_v from_o the_o earth_n and_o water_n exhalation_n and_o vapour_n which_o mount_v to_o a_o certain_a height_n in_o the_o air_n do_v there_o assemble_v and_o form_v the_o cloud_n these_o uncertain_a cloud_n be_v drive_v irregular_o round_o the_o globe_n sometime_o shadow_v one_o country_n and_o sometime_o another_o he_o then_o who_o behold_v the_o earth_n from_o afar_o off_o will_v see_v frequent_a alteration_n upon_o its_o surface_n because_o a_o great_a country_n overcast_v with_o cloud_n will_v appear_v dark_a or_o light_a as_o the_o cloud_n stay_v or_o pass_v over_o it_o he_o will_v see_v the_o spot_n on_o the_o earth_n often_o change_v their_o place_n and_o appear_v or_o disappear_v as_o the_o cloud_n remove_v but_o we_o see_v none_o of_o these_o change_v wrought_v upon_o the_o moon_n which_o will_v certain_o be_v the_o same_o be_v there_o but_o cloud_n about_o she_o but_o on_o the_o contrary_a all_o her_o spot_n be_v fix_v and_o certain_a and_o her_o light_a part_n continue_v where_o they_o be_v at_o first_o which_o true_o be_v a_o great_a misfortune_n for_o by_o this_o reason_n the_o sun_n draw_v no_o exhalation_n or_o vapour_n above_o the_o moon_n so_o that_o it_o appear_v she_o be_v a_o body_n infinite_o more_o hard_a and_o solid_a than_o the_o earth_n who_o subtle_a part_n be_v easy_o separate_v from_o the_o rest_n and_o mount_v upward_o as_o soon_o as_o heat_n put_v they_o in_o motion_n but_o it_o must_v be_v a_o heap_n of_o rock_n and_o marble_n where_o there_o be_v no_o evaporation_n beside_o exhalation_n be_v so_o natural_a and_o necessary_a where_o there_o be_v water_n that_o there_o can_v be_v no_o water_n at_o all_o where_o there_o be_v no_o exhalation_n and_o what_o sort_n of_o inhabitant_n must_v those_o be_v who_o country_n afford_v no_o water_n be_v all_o rock_n and_o produce_v nothing_o very_o fine_a say_v she_o you_o have_v forget_v since_o you_o assure_v i_o we_o may_v from_o hence_o distinguish_v sea_n in_o the_o moon_n nay_o you_o or_o your_o friend_n be_v godfather_n to_o some_o of_o of_o they_o pray_v what_o be_v become_v of_o your_o caspian_a sea_n and_o your_o black_a lake_n all_o conjecture_n madam_n i_o reply_v though_o for_o your_o ladyship_n sake_n i_o be_o very_o sorry_a for_o it_o for_o those_o dark_a place_n we_o take_v to_o be_v sea_n may_v perhaps_o be_v nothing_o but_o large_a cavity_n it_o be_v hard_a to_o guess_v aright_o at_o so_o great_a a_o distance_n but_o will_v this_o suffice_v then_o say_v she_o to_o extirpate_v the_o people_n in_o the_o moon_n not_o altogether_o i_o reply_v we_o will_v neither_o determine_v for_o nor_o against_o they_o i_o must_v own_o my_o weakness_n if_o it_o be_v one_o say_v she_o i_o can_v be_v so_o perfect_o undetermined_a as_o you_o will_v have_v i_o to_o be_v but_o must_v believe_v one_o way_n or_o the_o other_o therefore_o pray_v fix_v i_o quick_o in_o my_o opinion_n as_o to_o the_o inhabitant_n of_o the_o moon_n preserve_v or_o annihilate_v they_o as_o you_o shall_v think_v fit_a and_o yet_o methinks_v i_o have_v a_o strange_a inclination_n for_o they_o and_o will_v not_o have_v they_o destroy_v if_o it_o be_v possible_a to_o save_v save_v they_o you_o know_v madam_n say_v i_o i_o can_v deny_v you_o nothing_o the_o moon_n shall_v be_v no_o long_o a_o defart_n but_o to_o do_v you_o service_n we_o will_v repeople_v she_o since_o to_o all_o appearance_n the_o spot_n in_o the_o moon_n do_v not_o change_v i_o can_v conceive_v there_o be_v any_o cloud_n about_o she_o that_o sometime_o obscure_v one_o part_n and_o sometime_o another_o yet_o this_o do_v not_o hinder_v but_o that_o the_o moon_n send_v forth_o exhalation_n and_o vapour_n our_o cloud_n which_o we_o see_v in_o the_o air_n be_v nothing_o but_o exhalation_n and_o vapour_n which_o at_o their_o come_n out_o of_o the_o earth_n be_v separate_v into_o such_o minute_n particle_n that_o they_o can_v not_o be_v discern_v but_o as_o they_o ascend_v high_a they_o be_v condense_v by_o the_o cold_a and_o by_o the_o reunion_n of_o their_o part_n be_v render_v visible_a after_o which_o they_o become_v great_a cloud_n which_o fluctuate_v in_o the_o air_n till_o they_o return_v back_o again_o in_o rain_n however_o these_o exhalation_n and_o vapour_n do_v sometime_o keep_v themselves_o so_o disperse_v that_o they_o be_v imperceptible_a or_o if_o they_o do_v assemble_v it_o be_v in_o form_v such_o subtle_a dew_n that_o they_o can_v be_v discern_v to_o fall_v from_o any_o cloud_n it_o may_v likewise_o happen_v that_o the_o vapour_n which_o go_v out_o of_o the_o moon_n for_o it_o be_v incredible_a that_o the_o moon_n be_v such_o a_o mass_n that_o all_o its_o part_n be_v of_o a_o equal_a solidity_n all_o at_o rest_n one_o with_o another_o and_o all_o incapable_a of_o any_o alteration_n from_o the_o efficacy_n of_o the_o sun_n i_o be_o sure_a we_o be_v yet_o unacquainted_a with_o such_o a_o body_n marble_n itself_o be_v of_o another_o nature_n and_o even_o that_o which_o be_v most_o solid_a be_v subject_a to_o change_n and_o alteration_n either_o from_o the_o secret_a and_o invisible_a motion_n it_o have_v within_o itself_o or_o from_o that_o which_o it_o receive_v from_o without_o it_o may_v so_o happen_v then_o that_o the_o vapour_n which_o issue_n from_o the_o moon_n may_v not_o assemble_v round_o she_o in_o cloud_n and_o may_v not_o fall_v back_o again_o in_o rain_n but_o only_o in_o dew_n it_o be_v sufficient_a for_o this_o that_o the_o air_n with_o which_o the_o moon_n be_v environ_v for_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o the_o moon_n be_v encompass_v with_o air_n as_o well_o as_o the_o earth_n be_v a_o little_a different_a from_o our_o air_n and_o the_o vapour_n of_o the_o moon_n a_o little_a different_a from_o those_o of_o the_o earth_n which_o be_v very_o probable_a hereupon_o the_o matter_n be_v otherwise_o dispose_v in_o the_o moon_n than_o on_o the_o earth_n the_o effect_n must_v be_v different_a though_o it_o be_v of_o no_o great_a consequence_n whether_o they_o be_v or_o no_o for_o from_o the_o moment_n we_o have_v find_v a_o inward_a motion_n in_o the_o part_n of_o the_o moon_n or_o produce_v by_o foreign_a cause_n here_o be_v enough_o for_o the_o new_a birth_n of_o its_o inhabitant_n and_o a_o sufficient_a and_o necessary_a fund_z for_o their_o subsistence_n this_o will_v furnish_v we_o with_o corn_n fruit_n water_n according_a to_o the_o custom_n or_o manner_n of_o the_o moon_n which_o i_o do_v not_o pretend_v to_o know_v and_o all_o proportion_v to_o the_o want_n

how_o it_o be_v so_o which_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o ignorance_n upon_o a_o very_a little_a knowledge_n however_o i_o comfort_v myself_o that_o you_o have_v give_v the_o moon_n her_o inhabitant_n again_o and_o have_v wrap_v she_o in_o a_o air_n of_o her_o own_o without_o which_o a_o planet_n will_v seem_v but_o very_o naked_a it_o be_v these_o two_o different_a air_n say_v i_o that_o hinder_v the_o communication_n of_o the_o two_o planet_n if_o it_o be_v only_o fly_v as_o i_o tell_v you_o yesterday_o who_o know_v but_o we_o may_v improve_v it_o to_o perfection_n though_o i_o confess_v there_o be_v but_o little_a hope_n of_o it_o the_o great_a distance_n between_o the_o moon_n and_o the_o earth_n be_v a_o difficulty_n not_o easy_o to_o be_v surmount_v yet_o be_v the_o distance_n but_o inconsiderable_a and_o the_o two_o planet_n
who_o can_v assure_v we_o we_o shall_v still_o continue_v as_o we_o do_v now_o if_o we_o shall_v be_v such_o fool_n as_o to_o go_v near_o jupiter_n or_o he_o so_o ambitious_a as_o to_o approach_v we_o what_o will_v become_v of_o we_o for_o if_o as_o you_o say_v the_o celestial_a matter_n be_v continual_o under_o this_o great_a motion_n it_o must_v needs_o agitate_v the_o planet_n irregular_o sometime_o drive_v they_o together_o and_o sometime_o separate_a separate_a they_o luck_n be_v all_o say_v i_o we_o may_v win_v as_o well_o as_o lose_v and_o who_o know_v but_o we_o shall_v bring_v

do_v you_o envy_v he_o i_o reply_v you_o will_v do_v he_o wrong_n for_o he_o have_v no_o more_o than_o what_o he_o have_v occasion_n for_o at_o the_o distance_n he_o be_v from_o the_o sun_n his_o

long_o so_o one_o will_v think_v there_o be_v no_o great_a occasion_n for_o four_o moon_n but_o there_o be_v other_o thing_n to_o be_v consider_v here_o under_o the_o pole_n they_o have_v six_o

a_o perpendicular_a line_n the_o moon_n seem_v to_o keep_v almost_o the_o same_o course_n as_o the_o sun_n and_o if_o the_o inhabitant_n of_o the_o pole_n see_v the_o sun_n during_o one_o half_a of_o his_o course_n of_o a_o year_n and_o during_o the_o other_o half_a do_v not_o see_v he_o at_o all_o they_o see_v the_o moon_n likewise_o during_o one_o half_a of_o her_o course_n of_o a_o month_n
