make_v they_o so_o thick_a they_o answer_v that_o the_o thick_a the_o wall_n be_v the_o warm_a be_v they_o in_o winter_n and_o cool_a in_o summer_n for_o their_o thickness_n keep_v out_o both_o cold_a

with_o all_o the_o obedience_n and_o faithfulness_n befit_v their_o duty_n the_o sun_n as_o much_o as_o they_o can_v observe_v they_o relate_v to_o be_v a_o firm_a or_o solid_a stone_n of_o a_o vast_a

the_o difference_n only_o betwixt_o her_o own_o and_o the_o sun_n light_n be_v that_o the_o sun_n do_v strike_v his_o beam_n in_o a_o direct_a line_n but_o the_o moon_n never_o respect_v the_o

will_v have_v the_o sun_n hot_a in_o itself_o allege_v a_o old_a tradition_n that_o it_o shall_v at_o some_o time_n break_v asunder_o and_o burn_v the_o heaven_n and_o consume_v this_o world_n into_o hot_a embers_o which_o say_v they_o can_v not_o be_v do_v if_o the_o sun_n be_v not_o fiery_a of_o itself_o other_o again_o say_v this_o opinion_n can_v not_o stand_v with_o reason_n for_o fire_n be_v a_o destroyer_n of_o all_o thing_n the_o sun-stone_n after_o this_o manner_n will_v burn_v up_o all_o the_o near_a adjoin_a body_n beside_o say_v they_o fire_n can_v subsist_v without_o fuel_n and_o the_o sun-stone_n have_v nothing_o to_o feed_v on_o will_v in_o a_o short_a time_n consume_v itself_o wherefore_o they_o think_v it_o more_o probable_a that_o the_o sun_n be_v not_o actual_o hot_a but_o only_o by_o the_o reflection_n of_o its_o light_n so_o that_o its_o heat_n be_v a_o effect_n of_o its_o light_n both_o be_v immaterial_a but_o this_o opinion_n again_o be_v laugh_v at_o by_o

proceed_v from_o a_o swift_a circular_a motion_n of_o the_o aethereal_a globule_n which_o by_o their_o strike_n upon_o the_o optic_a nerve_n cause_v light_n and_o their_o motion_n produce_v heat_n but_o neither_o will_v this_o opinion_n hold_v for_o say_v some_o than_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o the_o sight_n of_o animal_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o light_n and_o that_o be_v there_o no_o eye_n there_o will_v be_v no_o light_n which_o be_v against_o all_o sense_n and_o reason_n thus_o they_o argue_v concern_v the_o heat_n and_o light_n of_o the_o sun_n but_o which_o be_v remarkable_a none_o do_v say_v that_o the_o sun_n be_v a_o globous_a fluid_fw-la body_n and_o have_v a_o swift_a circular_a motion_n but_o all_o agree_v it_o be_v fix_v and_o firm_a like_o a_o centre_n and_o therefore_o they_o general_o call_v it_o the_o sun-stone_n then_o the_o empress_n ask_v they_o the_o reason_n why_o the_o sun_n and_o moon_n do_v often_o appear_v in_o different_a posture_n or_o shape_n as_o

heavy_a and_o more_o dense_a but_o other_o do_v with_o more_o probability_n affirm_v that_o it_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o the_o various_a pattern_n of_o the_o air_n for_o like_a as_o painter_n do_v not_o copy_v out_o one_o and_o the_o same_o original_n just_a alike_o at_o all_o time_n so_o say_v they_o do_v several_a part_n of_o the_o air_n make_v different_a pattern_n of_o the_o luminous_a

if_o they_o be_v not_o transparent_a say_v they_o they_o will_v eclipse_v the_o light_n of_o the_o sun_n and_o if_o not_o rare_a and_o of_o a_o airy_a substance_n they_o will_v hinder_v fly_n from_o

from_o which_o observation_n they_o draw_v this_o follow_a conclusion_n to_o wit_n that_o this_o multitude_n of_o pore_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o blackness_n of_o the_o coal_n for_o say_v they_o
