III. Of the Systemn of the World and Motion of the Earth THe World containing all the Visible Creation is the order and distribution of all things kept and preserved of God and is vulgarly divided into two parts viz. Heaven and Earth of which this Excellent Structure is composed The Center of which Fabrick is held to be the Sun but their hath been much controversie amongst the most eminent Mathematicians concerning the Scituation and Motion of the Sun and the Earth Copernicus and some of the Ancients before and since Christ held the Sun to be immovably fixed in the Center of the Universs and that it was the Earth only that moved Others again denied affirming that the Sun moves only and that the Earth stands still Both produce their Reasons and Demonstrations to prove it The Judgement of Divines is unanimous viz. that the Earth is immovably fixed and that its the Sun that moves But although the Judgement of Divines concur in it yet I am not altogether of their Opinion that saith it is immoveably fixed in the Center For the equal or unequal distribution of the Universal Anima Mundi alloweth it to have a Life and consequently Motion which is the property of Life and therefore it must be granted that either their's no such thing as the Universal Anima Mundi or else if there be that the Earth is exempt of it and so lifelesse to affirm either of which is prodigiously absurd and ridiculous and contrary to the Judgement of the soundest Divines Philosophers and Mathematicians But whether the Earths Motion be Central Circular or Equilibral their 's the Question let them whet their Wits upon it and they will be the sharper As for me I shall satisfie my particular friends concerning the Motion thereof for I am confident it hath a Motion though insensible by reason of the dis-proportion which our visual senses have to its vast Magnitude and the World in general in the next Edition But I shall now return to give you an account of the several Spheres of Heaven in their various Situations and Motions according to the Opinion Demonstration and acurate Observations of that Noble Danish Lord Tycho Brahe 1. That the Earth is the Center of the World equidistant in all places from the vast Circumference of the fixed Stars 2. About the Earth is the Sphere of the Moon which by reason of its Propinquity and Parvity of her Orbe She compleateth her Periodical Revolution in a Month. 3.

In the next Sphere moves Venus who accomplisheth her Revolution through the 12 Signs of the Zodiack in 225 dayes 6. The next Sphere above the Orbe of the Sun is the Orbe of Mars which Intersects the Suns Orbe twice he compleateth his Revolution once in two years
