little_a and_o several_a have_v make_v and_o fit_v wing_n to_o themselves_o and_o invent_v a_o way_n to_o give_v themselves_o motion_n for_o support_v the_o body_n in_o the_o air_n for_o cross_v of_o

in_o different_a figure_n or_o disappear_v all_o together_o we_o shall_v see_v therefore_o the_o same_o change_n upon_o the_o surface_n of_o the_o moon_n be_v it_o encompass_v with_o cloud_n as_o

and_o by_o consequence_n it_o
be_v a_o body_n infinite_o hard_a and_o more_o solid_a than_o our_o earth_n who_o subtle_a part_n be_v easy_o separate_v from_o the_o rest_n and_o mount_v upward_o be_v once_o set_v in_o motion_n by_o the_o heat_n of_o the_o sun_n so_o that_o the_o moon_n must_v needs_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o vast_a heap_n of_o rock_n and_o marble_n from_o which_o no_o vapour_n can_v be_v exhale_a which_o

that_o produce_v nothing_o or_o what_o live_a creature_n can_v subsist_v in_o a_o country_n without_o water_n how_o cry_v my_o lady_n marquiese_n have_v you_o forget_v that_o you_o assure_v i_o

therefore_o let_v we_o free_v ourselves_o of_o one_o opinion_n let_v we_o either_o preserve_v the_o inhabitant_n of_o the_o moon_n or_o annihilate_v they_o for_o ever_o never_o to_o be_v hear_v of_o

place_n of_o the_o moon_n which_o be_v still_o the_o same_o without_o change_n we_o have_v no_o reason_n to_o believe_v that_o there_o be_v any_o cloud_n surround_v it_o which_o may_v obscure_v sometime_o one_o place_n sometime_o another_o but_o yet_o that_o do_v not_o argue_v but_o she_o may_v emit_v vapour_n and_o exhalation_n our_o cloud_n which_o we_o see_v carry_v in_o the_o air_n be_v

at_o last_o they_o fall_v upon_o the_o earth_n in_o rain_n but_o sometime_o it_o fall_v out_o that_o the_o same_o vapour_n and_o exhalation_n be_v extend_v and_o keep_v from_o join_v together_o and_o so_o be_v imperceptible_a and_o be_v only_o gather_v together_o so_o far_o as_o to_o form_v a_o kind_n of_o small_a dew_n so_o very_o subtle_a that_o it_o can_v be_v see_v as_o it_o be_v a-falling_a it_o may_v be_v in_o like_a manner_n that_o the_o vapour_n which_o proceed_v from_o the_o moon_n for_o certain_o it_o emit_v vapour_n and_o it_o be_v impossible_a to_o believe_v that_o the_o moon_n can_v be_v such_o a_o body_n as_o that_o all_o its_o part_n shall_v be_v of_o a_o equal_a solidity_n and_o so_o equal_a a_o temper_n one_o with_o the_o other_o that_o they_o be_v incapable_a of_o receive_v any_o change_n by_o the_o attract_v and_o move_a influence_n of_o the_o sun_n upon_o they_o we_o know_v no_o body_n of_o this_o nature_n the_o hard_a marble_n be_v not_o of_o this_o kind_n

some_o exterior_a impulse_n it_o receive_v from_o another_o it_o may_v be_v therefore_o as_o i_o say_v that_o vapour_n which_o arise_v from_o the_o moon_n be_v not_o gather_v together_o as_o a_o round_v surface_n into_o cloud_n but_o fall_v gentle_o upon_o it_o again_o in_o insensible_a dew_n and_o not_o in_o rain_n and_o it_o be_v sufficient_a to_o demonstrate_v this_o to_o conjecture_v only_o that_o the_o air_n which_o environ_n the_o moon_n be_v as_o different_a from_o the_o air_n that_o environ_n the_o earth_n as_o the_o vapour_n of_o the_o air_n from_o the_o exhalation_n of_o the_o other_o which_o be_v more_o than_o likely_a to_o be_v true_a and_o it_o must_v follow_v that_o matter_n be_v otherwise_o dispose_v of_o in_o the_o moon_n than_o in_o the_o earth_n its_o effect_n
