argument_n for_o their_o not_o be_v without_o it_o fire_n all_o the_o planet_n have_v fire_n for_o this_o earth_n be_v not_o so_o true_o call_v the_o place_n of_o fire_n as_o the_o sun_n and_o as_o by_o the_o heat_n of_o that_o all_o plant_n and_o animal_n here_o thrive_v and_o live_v so_o no_o doubt_n be_v it_o in_o the_o other_o planet_n since_o than_o fire_n be_v cause_v by_o a_o most_o intense_a and_o vigorous_a heat_n it_o follow_v that_o the_o planet_n especial_o those_o near_a the_o fountain_n of_o it_o have_v their_o proportionate_a degree_n of_o heat_n and_o fire_n and_o when_o there_o be_v so_o many_o way_n of_o its_o production_n as_o by_o the_o collection_n of_o the_o ray_n of_o the_o sun_n by_o the_o reflection_n of_o mirror_n by_o the_o strike_n of_o flint_n and_o steel_n by_o the_o rub_n of_o wood_n by_o the_o close_a load_n of_o moist_a grass_n by_o lightning_n by_o the_o eruption_n of_o mountain_n and_o volcanos_n it_o be_v strange_a if_o neither_o art_n

cold_a and_o supply_v the_o want_n of_o the_o sun_n in_o those_o country_n where_o his_o oblique_a ray_n make_v a_o less_o vigorous_a impression_n and_o so_o keep_v a_o great_a part_n of_o the_o earth_n from_o be_v a_o uninhabited_a desert_n which_o be_v equal_o necessary_a in_o all_o the_o planet_n whether_o we_o allow_v they_o succession_n of_o season_n or_o a_o perpetual_a spring_n and_o aequinox_n for_o even_o then_o the_o country_n near_o the_o pole_n will_v receive_v but_o little_a advantage_n from_o the_o heat_n of_o the_o sun_n by_o the_o help_n of_o this_o we_o turn_v the_o night_n into_o day_n and_o thereby_o make_v a_o considerable_a addition_n to_o the_o shortness_n for_n our_o life_n upon_o all_o these_o account_n i_o must_v not_o let_v this_o earth_n of_o we_o enjoy_v it_o all_o alone_a and_o exclude_v all_o the_o other_o planet_n from_o so_o advantageous_a and_o so_o profitable_a a_o gift_n but_o perhaps_o it_o may_v be_v ask_v as_o well_o concern_v

not_o right_o guess_v at_o by_o the_o bigness_n of_o the_o planet_n for_o if_o the_o magnitude_n of_o the_o planet_n be_v to_o be_v the_o standard_n of_o their_o measure_n there_o will_v be_v animal_n in_o jupiter_n ten_o or_o fifteen_o time_n large_a than_o elephant_n and_o as_o much_o long_o than_o our_o whale_n and_o then_o their_o man_n must_v be_v mere_a goliah_n in_o respect_n of_o our_o pygmiship_n now_o though_o i_o do_v see_v any_o so_o great_a absurdity_n in_o this_o as_o to_o make_v it_o impossible_a yet_o there_o be_v no_o reason_n to_o think_v it_o be_v real_o so_o see_v nature_n have_v not_o always_o tie_v herself_o to_o those_o rule_n which_o we_o have_v think_v more_o convenient_a for_o she_o for_o example_n the_o magnitude_n of_o the_o planet_n be_v not_o answerable_a to_o their_o distance_n from_o the_o sun_n but_o mars_n though_o more_o remote_a be_v far_o less_o than_o venus_n and_o jupiter_n turn_v round_o his_o axis_n in_o ten_o hour_n when_o the_o earth_n which_o be_v much_o less_o than_o he_o spend_v 24._o but_o since_o nature_n perhaps_o some_o body_n will_v say_v have_v not_o observe_v such_o a_o regularity_n in_o the_o proportion_n of_o thing_n for_o aught_o we_o know_v we_o may_v have_v a_o race_n of_o pigmy_n about_o the_o bigness_n of_o frog_n and_o mouse_n possess_v of_o the_o planet_n but_o i_o shall_v show_v that_o this_o be_v very_o improbable_a by_o and_o by_o here_o in_o the_o planet_n be_v many_o sort_n of_o rational_a creature_n as_o well_o as_o here_o there_o may_v arise_v another_o question_n whether_o there_o
