upon_o so_o many_o perch_n the_o line_n s●●cked_v neither_o ay_o nor_o the_o engine_n move_v at_o all_o but_o abode_n still_o as_o have_v no_o manner_n of_o weight_n i_o find_v then_o by_o this_o experience_n that_o which_o no_o philosopher_n ever_o dream_v of_o to_o wit_n that_o those_o thing_n which_o we_o call_v heavy_a do_v not_o sink_v towards_o the_o centre_n of_o the_o earth_n as_o their_o natural_a place_n but_o as_o draw_v by_o a_o secret_a property_n of_o the_o globe_n of_o the_o earth_n or_o rather_o some_o thing_n within_o the_o same_o in_o like_a sort_n as_o the_o loadstone_n draw_v iron_n be_v within_o the_o compass_n of_o the_o beam_n attractive_a for_o though_o it_o be_v true_a that_o there_o they_o can_v abide_v unmoved_a without_o the_o prop_n or_o sustentation_n of_o any_o corporal_a thing_n other_o than_o the_o air_n as_o easy_o and_o quiet_o as_o a_o fish_n in_o the_o middle_n of_o the_o water_n yet_o force_v themselves_o never_o so_o little_a it_o be_v not_o possible_a to_o imagine_v with_o what_o swiftness_n and_o celerity_n they_o be_v carry_v and_o whether_o it_o be_v upward_o downward_o or_o sidelong_v all_o be_v one_o true_o i_o must_v confess_v the_o horror_n and_o amazement_n of_o that_o place_n be_v such_o as_o if_o i_o have_v not_o be_v arm_v with_o a_o true_a spanish_a courage_n and_o resolution_n i_o must_v needs_o have_v die_v there_o with_o very_a fear_n but_o the_o next_o thing_n that_o do_v most_o trouble_v i_o be_v the_o swiftness_n of_o motion_n such_o as_o do_v even_o almost_o stop_v my_o breath_n if_o i_o shall_v liken_v it_o to_o a_o arrow_n out_o of_o a_o bow_n or_o to_o a_o stone_n cast_v down_o from_o the_o top_n of_o some_o high_a tower_n it_o will_v come_v far_o short_a and_o short_a another_o thing_n there_o be_v exceed_v and_o more_o than_o exceed_o troublesome_a unto_o i_o and_o that_o be_v the_o illusion_n of_o devil_n and_o wicked_a spirit_n who_o the_o first_o day_n of_o

for_o all_o these_o language_n i_o understand_v and_o here_o i_o see_v only_o a_o touch_n of_o the_o sun_n absence_n for_o a_o little_a while_n once_o ever_o after_o have_v he_o in_o my_o sight_n now_o to_o yield_v you_o satisfaction_n in_o the_o other_o you_o shall_v understand_v that_o my_o gansa_n although_o entangle_v in_o my_o line_n may_v easy_o find_v mean_n to_o seize_v upon_o divers_a

of_o they_o have_v first_o furnish_v my_o pocket_n with_o as_o much_o victual_v as_o i_o can_v thrust_v in_o among_o the_o which_o i_o fail_v not_o to_o afford_v place_n for_o a_o little_a botijo_n of_o good_a canary_n wine_n now_o shall_v i_o declare_v unto_o you_o the_o quality_n of_o the_o place_n in_o which_o i_o then_o be_v the_o cloud_n i_o perceive_v to_o be_v all_o under_o i_o between_o i_o and_o the_o earth_n the_o star_n by_o reason_n it_o be_v always_o day_n i_o see_v at_o all_o time_n alike_o not_o shine_v bright_a as_o upon_o the_o earth_n we_o be_v wont_n to_o see_v they_o in_o the_o night_n time_n but_o of_o a_o whitish_a colour_n like_o that_o of_o the_o moon_n in_o the_o day_n time_n with_o we_o and_o such_o of_o they_o as_o be_v to_o be_v see_v which_o be_v not_o many_o show_v far_o great_a than_o with_o we_o yea_o as_o i_o shall_v guess_v no_o less_o than_o ten_o time_n so_o great_a as_o for_o the_o moon_n be_v then_o within_o two_o day_n of_o the_o change_n she_o appear_v of_o a_o huge_a and_o fearful_a quantity_n this_o also_o be_v not_o to_o be_v forget_v that_o no_o star_n appear_v but_o on_o that_o part_n of_o the_o hemisphere_n that_o be_v next_o the_o moon_n and_o the_o near_a to_o her_o the_o big_a in_o quantity_n they_o show_v again_o i_o must_v tell_v you_o that_o whether_o i_o lie_v quiet_a and_o rest_v or_o else_o be_v carry_v in_o the_o air_n i_o perceive_v myself_o still_o to_o be_v always_o direct_o between_o the_o moon_n and_o the_o earth_n whereby_o it_o appear_v not_o only_o that_o my_o gansa_n take_v none_o other_o way_n than_o direct_o towards_o the_o moon_n but_o also_o that_o when_o we_o rest_v as_o at_o first_o we_o do_v for_o many_o hour_n either_o we_o be_v insensible_o carry_v for_o i_o perceive_v no_o such_o motion_n round_o about_o the_o globe_n of_o the_o earth_n or_o else_o that_o according_a to_o the_o late_a opinion_n of_o copernicus_n the_o earth_n be_v carry_v about_o and_o turn_v round_o perpetual_o from_o west_n to_o the_o east_n leave_v unto_o the_o planet_n only_o that_o motion_n which_o astronomer_n call_v natural_a and_o be_v not_o upon_o the_o pole_n of_o the_o equinoctial_a common_o term_v the_o pole_n of_o the_o world_n but_o upon_o those_o of_o the_o zodiac_n concern_v which_o question_n i_o will_v speak_v more_o hereafter_o when_o i_o shall_v have_v leisure_n to_o call_v to_o my_o

motion_n of_o wind_n and_o exceed_v temperate_a neither_o hot_a nor_o cold_a as_o where_o neither_o the_o sunbeam_n have_v any_o subject_n to_o reflect_v upon_o neither_o be_v yet_o either_o the_o earth_n or_o water_n so_o near_o as_o to_o affect_v the_o air_n with_o their_o natural_a quality_n of_o coldness_n as_o for_o that_o imagination_n of_o the_o philosopher_n attribute_v heat_n together_o with_o moistness_n unto_o the_o air_n i_o never_o esteem_v it_o otherwise_o than_o a_o fancy_n last_o now_o it_o be_v to_o be_v remember_v that_o after_o my_o departure_n from_o the_o
