of_o their_o motion_n sometime_o they_o see_v they_o over_o their_o head_n direct_o above_o one_o another_o at_o other_o time_n they_o see_v they_o appear_v above_o their_o horzion_n at_o equal_a

these_o four_o moon_n to_o send_v ambassador_n from_o time_n to_o time_n to_o the_o inhabitant_n of_o jupiter_n and_o swear_v fealty_n to_o he_o for_o my_o part_n we_o have_v no_o authority_n over_o the_o inhabitant_n of_o our_o moon_n make_v i_o think_v that_o jupiter_n have_v no_o more_o over_o the_o inhabitant_n of_o his_o four_o and_o i_o believe_v one_o of_o the_o advantage_n he_o have_v

by_o that_o considerable_o augment_v and_o they_o must_v constant_o see_v that_o monstrous_a planet_n hang_v over_o their_o head_n at_o a_o very_a small_a distance_n and_o if_o it_o be_v true_a that_o

the_o inhabitant_n of_o jupiter_n see_v our_o earth_n i_o be_o afraid_a we_o be_v altogether_o unknown_a to_o to_o they_o real_o i_o believe_v it_o to_o be_v so_o say_v i_o for_o the_o inhabitant_n

they_o set_v it_o down_o in_o the_o philosophical_a transaction_n of_o that_o country_n the_o rest_n of_o the_o inhabitant_n of_o jupiter_n either_o never_o hear_v of_o it_o or_o laugh_v at_o it_o if_o they_o do_v the_o philosopher_n themselves_o who_o opinion_n that_o discovery_n destroy_v resolve_v not_o to_o believe_v it_o and_o there_o be_v but_o some_o very_a rational_a people_n that_o will_v trouble_v themselves_o with_o the_o thought_n of_o it_o these_o astronomer_n make_v new_a observation_n they_o again_o look_v upon_o this_o little_a planet_n and_o they_o begin_v to_o be_v

but_o by_o the_o help_n of_o a_o telescope_n i_o shall_v find_v a_o infinite_a pleasure_n in_o imagine_v i_o shall_v see_v those_o telescope_n point_v towards_o we_o and_o we_o from_o a_o mutual_a

that_o what_o people_n be_v those_o do_v go_v so_o fast_o madam_n say_v i_o suppose_v the_o inhabitant_n of_o jupiter_n can_v see_v our_o earth_n yet_o they_o can_v never_o see_v we_o or_o so_o much_o

of_o the_o inhabitant_n and_o it_o may_v be_v we_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o some_o philosopher_n in_o that_o world_n have_v be_v sue_v and_o persecute_v for_o this_o opinion_n however_o i_o believe_v that_o the_o inhabitant_n of_o jupiter_n be_v employ_v enough_o in_o the_o discovery_n of_o their_o own_o planet_n without_o trouble_v themselves_o with_o the_o thought_n of_o we_o and_o have_v

they_o can_v far_o less_o perceive_v venus_n and_o mercury_n both_o which_o be_v more_o diminutive_a world_n and_o further_o distant_a from_o it_o than_o we_o but_o in_o lieu_n of_o this_o they_o

nevertheless_o upon_o this_o silk-worm-ball_n there_o be_v perform_v such_o mighty_a work_n and_o where_o there_o be_v such_o terrible_a war_n and_o such_o strange_a commotion_n as_o reign_v every_o

of_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o earth_n for_o be_v it_o possible_a but_o nature_n will_v have_v take_v care_n to_o have_v give_v we_o some_o sensible_a sign_n by_o which_o we_o may_v discover_v the_o

several_a other_o great_a body_n can_v not_o be_v exempt_a from_o that_o labour_n and_o that_o the_o sun_n be_v not_o so_o proper_a and_o fit_a to_o turn_v round_o the_o earth_n since_o the_o other_o

the_o half_a of_o the_o moon_n which_o be_v enlighten_v be_v turn_v towards_o the_o sun_n and_o the_o obscure_a part_n towards_o the_o earth_n it_o be_v no_o wonder_n then_o that_o we_o can_v see_v
