although_o our_o modern_a astronomer_n now_o avert_v this_o aristotelian_a opinion_n have_v find_v out_o some_o comet_n place_n to_o be_v above_o the_o moon_n this_o be_v brief_o speak_v of_o the_o

have_v so_o many_o different_a course_n comet_n see_v a_o simple_a body_n can_v have_v no_o more_o but_o one_o motion_n of_o itself_o to_o this_o i_o say_v that_o as_o the_o sphere_n of_o fire_n and_o the_o supreme_a region_n of_o the_o air_n by_o the_o heavenly_a motion_n be_v wheel_v about_o from_o the_o orient_a to_o the_o occident_n thus_o the_o comet_n exist_v above_o the_o first_o region_n and_o so_o natural_o with_o it_o they_o shall_v keep_v the_o same_o course_n in_o respect_n that_o conformable_o a_o thing_n place_v must_v turn_v with_o the_o place_n in_o which_o it_o exi_v so_o
