a_o degree_n in_o two_o minute_n of_o time_n see_v in_o a_o hour_n he_o run_v 15_o degree_n next_o that_o the_o moon_n go_v about_o the_o zodiac_n in_o 27_o day_n and_o 7_o hour_n namely_o from_o

therefore_o the_o moon_n must_v be_v 30_o time_n slow_a in_o her_o retrograde_a motion_n than_o the_o sun_n be_v in_o his_o diurnal_a motion_n let_v we_o suppose_v next_o as_o i_o observe_v with_o a_o tub_n 12_o foot_n long_o that_o the_o image_n of_o the_o sun_n run_v the_o eight_o part_n of_o a_o inch_n every_o second_o and_o consequent_o seven_o inch_n and_o a_o half_a in_o a_o minute_n then_o must_v the_o image_n of_o the_o moon_n with_o that_o same_o telescope_n run_v the_o thirty_o part_n of_o seven_o inch_n and_o a_o half_a in_o a_o minute_n see_v she_o run_v 30_o time_n slowly_o therefore_o in_o every_o minute_n of_o time_n she_o must_v advance_v the_o four_o part_n of_o a_o inch_n which_o will_v be_v very_o sensible_a though_o we_o grant_v that_o the_o moon_n have_v no_o retrograde_a motion_n proper_o yet_o by_o compare_v the_o diurnal_a motion_n of_o the_o moon_n that_o be_v slow_a to_o the_o diurnal_a motion_n of_o the_o sun_n that_o be_v swift_a we_o shall_v real_o find_v the_o thing_n itself_o therefore_o in_o the_o time_n of_o a_o solar_a eclipse_n this_o retrograde_a motion_n be_v conspicuous_a which_o by_o a_o ordinary_a telescope_n may_v be_v discern_v in_o
