do_v not_o turn_v round_o itself_o every_o twenty_o four_o hour_n oh_o say_v she_o the_o sun_n and_o the_o star_n be_v all_o fire_n their_o motion_n be_v not_o very_o difficult_a but_o the_o earth_n i_o fancy_n be_v a_o little_a unwieldy_a that_o signify_v nothing_o i_o reply_v for_o what_o do_v you_o think_v of_o a_o first_o rate_n ship_n which_o carry_v near_o a_o hundred_o gun_n and_o a_o thousand_o man_n beside_o her_o provision_n and_o other_o furniture_n you_o see_v one_o puff_n of_o wind_n make_v it_o sail_n on_o the_o water_n because_o the_o water_n be_v liquid_a and_o be_v easy_o separate_v do_v very_o little_o resist_v the_o motion_n of_o the_o ship_n so_o the_o earth_n though_o never_o so_o massive_a be_v as_o easy_o bear_v up_o by_o the_o celestial_a matter_n which_o be_v a_o thousand_o time_n more_o fluid_a than_o the_o water_n and_o fill_v all_o that_o great_a space_n where_o the_o planet_n float_v for_o where_o will_v you_o the_o earth_n shall_v be_v fasten_v to_o resist_v the_o motion_n of_o the_o celestial_a matter_n and_o not_o be_v drive_v by_o it_o you_o may_v as_o well_o fancy_v a_o little_a block_n of_o wood_n can_v withstand_v the_o current_n of_o a_o

in_o some_o danger_n on_o such_o a_o whirlegigg_n as_o you_o have_v make_v of_o the_o earth_n there_o be_v no_o danger_n i_o reply_v but_o madam_n if_o you_o be_v afraid_a we_o will_v have_v the_o

say_v i_o and_o shall_v find_v delightful_a idea_n in_o this_o systeme_n for_o example_n sometime_o i_o fancy_v myself_o suspend_v in_o the_o air_n without_o any_o motion_n while_o the_o earth_n

of_o fact._n be_v we_o not_o to_o consider_v the_o moon_n as_o greenwhich_n no_o say_v i_o the_o moon_n do_v not_o so_o much_o resemble_v the_o earth_n as_o greenwich_n do_v london_n the_o sun_n draw_v from_o the_o earth_n and_o water_n exhalation_n and_o vapour_n which_o mount_v to_o a_o certain_a height_n in_o the_o air_n do_v there_o assemble_v and_o form_v the_o cloud_n these_o uncertain_a cloud_n be_v drive_v irregular_o round_o the_o globe_n sometime_o shadow_v one_o country_n and_o sometime_o another_o he_o then_o who_o behold_v the_o earth_n from_o afar_o off_o will_v see_v frequent_a alteration_n upon_o its_o surface_n because_o a_o great_a country_n overcast_v with_o cloud_n will_v appear_v dark_a or_o light_a as_o the_o cloud_n stay_v or_o pass_v over_o it_o he_o will_v see_v the_o spot_n on_o the_o earth_n often_o change_v their_o place_n and_o appear_v or_o disappear_v as_o the_o cloud_n remove_v but_o we_o see_v none_o of_o these_o change_v wrought_v upon_o the_o moon_n which_o will_v certain_o be_v the_o same_o be_v there_o but_o cloud_n about_o she_o but_o on_o the_o contrary_a all_o her_o spot_n be_v fix_v and_o certain_a and_o her_o light_a part_n continue_v where_o they_o be_v at_o first_o which_o true_o be_v a_o great_a misfortune_n for_o by_o this_o reason_n the_o sun_n draw_v no_o exhalation_n or_o vapour_n above_o the_o moon_n so_o that_o it_o appear_v she_o be_v a_o body_n infinite_o more_o hard_a and_o solid_a than_o the_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 as_o

i_o reply_v we_o will_v neither_o determine_v for_o nor_o against_o they_o i_o must_v own_o my_o weakness_n if_o it_o be_v one_o say_v she_o i_o can_v be_v so_o perfect_o undetermined_a as_o you_o will_v have_v i_o to_o be_v but_o must_v believe_v one_o way_n or_o the_o other_o therefore_o pray_v fix_v i_o quick_o in_o my_o opinion_n as_o to_o the_o inhabitant_n of_o the_o moon_n preserve_v

part_n and_o sometime_o another_o yet_o this_o do_v not_o hinder_v but_o that_o the_o moon_n send_v forth_o exhalation_n and_o vapour_n our_o cloud_n which_o we_o see_v in_o the_o air_n be_v nothing_o but_o exhalation_n and_o vapour_n which_o at_o their_o come_n out_o of_o the_o earth_n be_v separate_v into_o such_o minute_n particle_n that_o they_o can_v not_o be_v discern_v but_o as_o they_o

the_o air_n till_o they_o return_v back_o again_o in_o rain_n however_o these_o exhalation_n and_o vapour_n do_v sometime_o keep_v themselves_o so_o disperse_v that_o they_o be_v imperceptible_a or_o if_o they_o do_v assemble_v it_o be_v in_o form_v such_o subtle_a dew_n that_o they_o can_v be_v discern_v to_o fall_v from_o any_o cloud_n it_o may_v likewise_o happen_v that_o the_o vapour_n which_o go_v out_o of_o the_o moon_n for_o it_o be_v incredible_a that_o the_o moon_n be_v such_o a_o mass_n that_o all_o its_o part_n be_v of_o a_o equal_a solidity_n all_o at_o rest_n one_o with_o another_o and_o all_o incapable_a of_o any_o alteration_n from_o the_o efficacy_n of_o the_o sun_n i_o be_o sure_a we_o be_v yet_o unacquainted_a with_o such_o a_o body_n marble_n itself_o be_v of_o another_o

from_o that_o which_o it_o receive_v from_o without_o it_o may_v so_o happen_v then_o that_o the_o vapour_n which_o issue_n from_o the_o moon_n may_v not_o assemble_v round_o she_o in_o cloud_n and_o
