the_o centre_n of_o the_o earth_n can_v be_v move_v out_o of_o his_o place_n any_o wise_a because_o as_o we_o have_v demonstrate_v in_o the_o chapter_n before_o without_o the_o disturbance_n and_o

to_o the_o centre_n can_v also_o have_v a_o circular_a or_o round_a motion_n and_o so_o of_o necessity_n must_v rest_v unmoved_a in_o her_o proper_a place_n but_o this_o reason_n as_o i_o have_v

of_o place_n there_o be_v few_o thing_n in_o nature_n which_o have_v more_o perplex_v the_o wit_n of_o ingenious_a mathematician_n than_o the_o exact_a way_n of_o find_v out_o the_o longitude_n of_o place_n not_o that_o the_o matter_n be_v over_o difficult_a in_o itself_o but_o that_o they_o seek_v out_o a_o way_n to_o perform_v this_o conclusion_n not_o depend_v from_o the_o observation_n of_o the_o celestial_a body_n and_o motion_n a_o matter_n as_o yet_o never_o find_v out_o and_o i_o fear_v i_o unpossible_a because_o they_o propose_v to_o themselves_o one_o of_o these_o two_o way_n to_o
