for_o it_o but_o when_o a_o new_a and_o a_o unheard_a of_o truth_n shall_v come_v before_o it_o though_o it_o have_v good_a ground_n and_o reason_n yet_o the_o understanding_n be_v afraid_a of_o it_o

which_o the_o mere_a title_n of_o the_o book_n may_v beget_v can_v easy_o be_v remove_v without_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o preparation_n and_o i_o can_v not_o tell_v otherwise_o how_o to_o rectify_v the_o thought_n of_o the_o reader_n for_o a_o impartial_a survey_n of_o the_o follow_a discourse_n i_o must_v needs_o confess_v though_o i_o have_v often_o think_v with_o myself_o that_o it_o be_v possible_a there_o may_v be_v a_o world_n in_o the_o moon_n yet_o it_o seem_v such_o a_o uncouth_a opinion_n that_o i_o never_o dare_v discover_v it_o for_o fear_v of_o be_v count_v singular_a and_o ridiculous_a but_o afterward_o have_v read_v plutarch_n galileus_n keplar_n with_o some_o other_o and_o find_v many_o of_o my_o own_o thought_n confirm_v by_o such_o strong_a authority_n i_o then_o conclude_v that_o it_o be_v not_o only_o possible_a there_o may_v be_v but_o probable_a that_o there_o be_v another_o habitable_a world_n in_o that_o planet_n in_o the_o prosecute_n of_o this_o assertion_n i_o shall_v first_o endeavour_v to_o clear_v the_o way_n from_o such_o doubt_n as_o may_v hinder_v the_o speed_n or_o ease_v of_o far_a progress_n and_o because_o the_o supposition_n imply_v in_o this_o opinion_n may_v seem_v to_o contradict_v the_o principle_n of_o reason_n or_o faith_n it_o will_v be_v requisite_a that_o i_o first_o remove_v this_o scruple_n 2._o show_v the_o conformity_n of_o they_o to_o both_o these_o and_o prove_v those_o truth_n that_o may_v make_v way_n for_o the_o rest_n which_o i_o shall_v labour_v to_o perform_v in_o the_o second_o three_o four_o and_o five_o chapter_n and_o then_o proceed_v to_o confirm_v such_o proposition_n which_o do_v more_o direct_o belong_v to_o the_o main_a point_n in_o hand_n proposition_n 2._o that_o a_o plurality_n of_o world_n do_v not_o contradict_v any_o principle_n of_o reason_n or_o faith_n it_o be_v report_v of_o aristotle_n that_o when_o he_o see_v the_o book_n of_o moses_n he_o commend_v they_o for_o such_o a_o majestic_a stile_n as_o may_v become_v a_o god_n but_o withal_o he_o censure_v that_o manner_n of_o writing_n to_o be_v very_o unfitting_a for_o a_o philosopher_n because_o there_o be_v nothing_o prove_v in_o they_o but_o matter_n be_v deliver_v as_o if_o they_o will_v rather_o command_v than_o persuade_v belief_n and_o it_o be_v observe_v that_o he_o set_v down_o nothing_o himself_o but_o he_o confirm_v it_o by_o the_o strong_a reason_n that_o may_v be_v find_v there_o be_v scarce_o a_o argument_n of_o force_n for_o any_o subject_n in_o philosophy_n which_o may_v not_o be_v pick_v out_o of_o his_o write_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v likely_a if_o there_o be_v in_o reason_n a_o necessity_n of_o one_o only_a world_n that_o he_o will_v have_v find_v out_o some_o such_o necessary_a proof_n as_o may_v confirm_v it_o especial_o since_o he_o labour_v for_o it_o so_o much_o in_o two_o whole_a chapter_n but_o now_o all_o the_o argument_n which_o he_o himself_o urge_v in_o this_o subject_n 9_o be_v very_o weak_a and_o far_o enough_o from_o have_v in_o they_o any_o convince_a power_n therefore_o it_o be_v likely_a that_o a_o plurality_n of_o world_n do_v not_o contradict_v any_o principle_n of_o reason_n however_o i_o will_v set_v down_o the_o two_o chief_a of_o his_o argument_n from_o his_o own_o work_n and_o from_o they_o you_o may_v guess_v the_o force_n

there_o be_v if_o there_o be_v two_o place_n for_o gravity_n and_o two_o place_n for_o lightness_n for_o it_o be_v probable_a that_o the_o earth_n of_o that_o other_o world_n will_v fall_v down_o to_o this_o centre_n and_o so_o mutual_o the_o air_n and_o fire_n here_o ascend_v to_o those_o region_n in_o the_o other_o which_o must_v needs_o much_o derogate_v from_o the_o providence_n of_o nature_n
