they_o move_v the_o one_o within_o the_o other_o from_o the_o east_n to_o the_o west_n their_o usual_a course_n as_o we_o have_v hitherto_o prove_v that_o there_o be_v eight_o heaven_n so_o must_v we_o prove_v that_o they_o be_v round_o and_o that_o they_o turn_v the_o one_o within_o the_o other_o from_o east_n to_o west_n the_o which_o may_v appear_v unto_o we_o most_o manifest_o for_o we_o see_v that_o the_o sun_n the_o planet_n and_o all_o the_o other_o star_n do_v rise_v first_o in_o the_o east_n on_o our_o horizon_n then_o little_a by_o little_a they_o advance_v towards_o the_o

either_o the_o self_n same_o sun_n or_o another_o which_o we_o daily_o see_v to_o rise_v and_o set_v it_o can_v be_v any_o other_o for_o that_o then_o every_o day_n will_v require_v a_o new_a one_o and_o if_o it_o be_v the_o same_o sun_n it_o must_v either_o have_v past_a over_o within_o or_o underneath_o the_o earth_n over_o the_o earth_n it_o can_v have_v past_a for_o as_o much_o as_o then_o

its_o great_a than_o the_o earth_n it_o remain_v then_o that_o it_o must_v have_v past_a underneath_o the_o earth_n and_o that_o consequent_o its_o orb_n or_o heaven_n turn_v about_o the_o earth_n
