i_o can_v well_o describe_v they_o to_o you_o but_o i_o see_v something_o as_o for_o those_o figure_n say_v i_o i_o advise_v you_o to_o remit_v they_o to_o the_o dream_n you_o will_v have_v this_o night_n we_o shall_v see_v to_o morrow_n whether_o they_o assist_v you_o well_o in_o it_o and_o inform_v you_o of_o the_o shape_n of_o the_o inhabitant_n of_o any_o planet_n the_o four_o evening_n our_o dream_n be_v not_o successful_a they_o only_o represent_v something_o resemble_v what_o we_o have_v see_v and_o i_o have_v opportunity_n of_o reproach_v the_o marchioness_n as_o those_o people_n who_o never_o draw_v any_o thing_n but_o what_o be_v extravagant_a and_o grotesque_n reproach_n we_o at_o the_o sight_n of_o our_o picture_n very_o well_o say_v they_o those_o be_v man_n to_o the_o life_n there_o be_v nothing_o there_o of_o fancy_n we_o be_v fain_o then_o to_o be_v still_o ignorant_a of_o the_o figure_n of_o the_o inhabitant_n of_o the_o planet_n and_o content_v ourselves_o with_o guess_v at_o they_o as_o well_o as_o we_o can_v continue_v the_o voyage_n we_o have_v begin_v about_o the_o world_n we_o be_v in_o venus_n it_o be_v certain_a say_v i_o to_o the_o marchioness_n that_o venus_n turn_v about_o herself_o but_o it_o be_v not_o well_o know_v in_o what_o time_n nor_o consequent_o how_o long_o her_o day_n be_v as_o for_o her_o year_n they_o be_v but_o eight_o month_n for_o in_o so_o much_o time_n she_o turn_v about_o the_o sun._n she_o be_v forty_o time_n less_o than_o the_o earth_n therefore_o the_o earth_n in_o venus_n seem_v a_o planet_n forty_o time_n big_a than_o venus_n appear_v to_o we_o from_o hence_o and_o as_o the_o moon_n be_v likewise_o forty_o time_n less_o than_o the_o earth_n she_o seem_v in_o venus_n very_o near_o about_o the_o same_o bigness_n that_o venus_n appear_v to_o we_o from_o hence_o you_o vex_v i_o say_v the_o marchioness_n i_o see_v well_o that_o the_o earth_n be_v not_o for_o venus_n the_o star_n of_o shepherd_n and_o mother_n of_o love_n as_o v●nus_n be_v to_o the_o earth_n for_o the_o earth_n in_o venus_n appear_v too_o big_a but_o the_o moon_n that_o appear_v the●e_n of_o the_o same_o bigness_n that_o venus_n do_v to_o we_o from_o hence_o be_v of_o a_o just_a proportion_n to_o be_v the_o mother_n of_o love_n and_o star_n of_o shepherd_n those_o name_n be_v only_o fit_a for_o a_o little_a planet_n that_o be_v brisk_a clear_a sparkle_a and_o of_o a_o gallant_a air._n it_o be_v certain_o a_o destiny_n very_o please_v to_o our_o moon_n to_o influence_n the_o love_n of_o the_o inhabitant_n of_o venus_n those_o people_n must_v needs_o understand_v gallantry_n well_o oh_o no_o question_n on_o it_o say_v i_o the_o little_a people_n of_o venus_n be_v make_v up_o of_o none_o but_o celadon_n and_o sylvander_n and_o their_o most_o ordinary_a conversation_n be_v beyond_o the_o most_o polite_a of_o clelia_n the_o climate_n be_v extreme_o favourable_a for_o love_n venus_n be_v near_o the_o sun_n than_o we_o and_o she_o receive_v from_o he_o a_o light_n more_o lively_a and_o hot_a i_o now_o see_v say_v the_o marchioness_n interrupt_v i_o how_o the_o inhabitant_n of_o venus_n be_v make_v they_o be_v like_o the_o moor_n of_o granada_n a_o little_a black_a people_n sunburn_a full_a of_o spirit_n and_o fire_n always_o amorous_a give_v to_o poetry_n and_o music_n and_o every_o day_n feast_v dance_a and_o tilt_v let_v i_o tell_v you_o madam_n say_v i_o you_o know_v but_o little_a of_o the_o inhabitant_n of_o venus_n our_o moor_n of_o granada_n for_o the_o coldness_n and_o stupidity_n of_o their_o temper_n will_v be_v to_o they_o but_o as_o people_n of_o lapland_n or_o groenland_n but_o what_o be_v the_o inhabitant_n of_o mercury_n they_o be_v yet_o near_o the_o sun_n and_o therefore_o certain_o must_v needs_o be_v fool_n with_o too_o much_o vivacity_n i_o believe_v they_o have_v no_o memory_n no_o more_o than_o the_o great_a part_n of_o negro_n and_o that_o they_o never_o consider_v on_o any_o thing_n nor_o act_n but_o by_o chance_n and_o sudden_a motion_n and_o in_o fine_a that_o mercury_n be_v the_o bedlam_n of_o the_o universe_n they_o see_v the_o sun_n much_o big_a than_o we_o do_v because_o they_o be_v much_o near_o and_o he_o give_v they_o so_o strong_a a_o light_n that_o be_v they_o here_o they_o will_v esteem_v our_o fair_a day_n but_o as_o weak_a twilight_n and_o perhaps_o will_v not_o be_v able_a to_o distinguish_v object_n by_o it_o and_o they_o be_v use_v to_o so_o excessive_a a_o heat_n that_o they_o will_v freeze_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o africa_n their_o year_n be_v but_o three_o month_n the_o length_n of_o their_o day_n be_v yet_o unknown_a to_o we_o for_o mercury_n be_v so_o little_a and_o so_o near_o the_o sun_n in_o who_o ray_n he_o be_v almost_o continual_o lose_v that_o he_o escape_v all_o observation_n of_o astronomer_n and_o they_o can_v yet_o lay_v hold_n on_o he_o so_o much_o as_o to_o observe_v what_o motion_n he_o make_v about_o his_o centre_n but_o his_o smallness_n make_v they_o believe_v that_o he_o perform_v that_o course_n in_o a_o little_a time_n and_o that_o therefore_o the_o day_n in_o mercury_n be_v short_a and_o that_o the_o inhabitant_n see_v the_o sun_n like_o a_o great_a burn_a stove_n ot_fw-mi kettle_z not_o far_o above_o their_o head_n and_o move_v with_o a_o prodigious_a rapidity_n it_o be_v well_o for_o they_o for_o it_o be_v certain_a they_o be_v very_o desirous_a of_o the_o night_n during_o which_o time_n they_o be_v enlighten_v by_o venus_n and_o the_o earth_n which_o ought_v to_o appear_v very_o big_a to_o they_o as_o for_o the_o other_o planet_n they_o be_v beyond_o the_o earth_n towards_o the_o firmament_n seem_v less_o to_o they_o than_o they_o do_v to_o we_o and_o they_o receive_v but_o little_a or_o perhaps_o no_o light_n at_o all_o from_o thence_o the_o fix_a star_n likewise_o seem_v less_o to_o they_o and_o many_o be_v not_o see_v at_o all_o which_o in_o my_o opinion_n be_v a_o loss_n i_o be_o not_o well_o please_v to_o see_v that_o great_a arch_n adorn_v with_o lesser_a star_n and_o not_o to_o see_v the_o rest_n but_o in_o a_o less_o proportion_n and_o a_o dull_a colour_n i_o be_o not_o say_v the_o marchioness_n so_o much_o concern_v at_o that_o loss_n of_o the_o inhabitant_n of_o mercury_n as_o at_o the_o inconvenience_n they_o suffer_v by_o the_o extremity_n of_o heat_n i_o wish_v we_o can_v procure_v their_o ease_n therefore_o pray_v let_v we_o allow_v in_o mercury_n long_a and_o abundant_a rain_n to_o refresh_v they_o as_o it_o be_v say_v it_o fall_v here_o in_o hot_a country_n for_o four_o month_n together_o just_a in_o the_o hot_a season_n that_o may_v be_v say_v i_o and_o we_o may_v likewise_o refresh_v mercury_n another_o way_n some_o part_n of_o china_n which_o by_o their_o situation_n ought_v to_o be_v very_o hot_a be_v yet_o so_o extreme_a cold_n in_o the_o month_n of_o july_n and_o august_n that_o the_o river_n be_v freeze_v the_o cause_n be_v those_o country_n be_v full_a of_o saltpetre_n the_o exhalation_n whereof_o be_v very_o cold_a and_o the_o great_a heat_n exhale_v they_o from_o the_o earth_n in_o great_a abundance_n mercury_n if_o you_o please_v shall_v be_v a_o little_a planet_n all_o of_o saltpetre_n and_o the_o sun_n shall_v produce_v from_o itself_o a_o remedy_n for_o the_o evil_a that_o it_o cause_v most_o certain_a it_o be_v that_o nature_n can_v make_v people_n live_v any_o where_o but_o where_o they_o can_v live_v and_o that_o custom_n join_v with_o ignorance_n of_o what_o be_v better_o make_v they_o live_v there_o well_o enough_o so_o in_o mercury_n they_o may_v live_v well_o enough_o without_o saltpetre_n or_o rain_n next_o after_o mercury_n you_o know_v be_v the_o sun_n there_o be_v no_o way_n of_o make_v he_o habitable_a the_o cause_n be_v clear_a we_o judge_v by_o the_o earth_n that_o be_v inhabit_v that_o other_o body_n of_o the_o same_o species_n may_v be_v so_o likewise_o but_o the_o sun_n be_v not_o a_o body_n of_o the_o same_o species_n with_o the_o earth_n nor_o with_o the_o other_o planet_n he_o be_v the_o fountain_n of_o that_o light_n which_o the_o other_o planet_n only_o reflect_v from_o one_o to_o another_o after_o have_v receive_v it_o from_o he_o they_o may_v exchange_v it_o as_o we_o may_v say_v among_o themselves_o but_o they_o can_v produce_v it_o he_o only_o extract_v from_o himself_o that_o precious_a substance_n and_o emit_v it_o with_o vigour_n on_o all_o side_n where_o ever_o it_o meet_v with_o any_o thing_n that_o be_v
