insufferable_a say_v she_o to_o conclude_v i_o with_o such_o empty_a argument_n if_o you_o provoke_v i_o say_v i_o i_o know_v what_o i_o can_v yet_o add_v to_o confirm_v they_o observe_v that_o the_o

the_o roman_n the_o general_a map_n of_o the_o earth_n be_v not_o much_o big_a than_o the_o map_n of_o the_o empire_n which_o have_v much_o of_o greatness_n in_o one_o sense_n and_o ignorance_n in_o

the_o discovery_n of_o the_o world_n will_v possible_o be_v finish_v by_o we_o and_o we_o shall_v know_v all_o as_o far_o as_o the_o moon_n we_o have_v not_o yet_o attain_v so_o far_o because_o as_o

yesterday_o you_o make_v i_o expect_v to_o see_v they_o soon_o here_o and_o now_o there_o be_v no_o such_o people_n in_o the_o world._n you_o shall_v not_o delude_v i_o so_o you_o make_v i_o believe_v the_o inhabitant_n of_o the_o moon_n i_o have_v overcome_v the_o difficulty_n of_o do_v so_o and_o i_o will_v believe_v it_o not_o so_o fast_o say_v i_o you_o ought_v to_o yield_v yourself_o but_o

say_v she_o with_o sentence_n let_v we_o go_v to_o the_o matter_n be_v we_o not_o to_o argue_v of_o the_o moon_n as_o of_o st._n denis_n no_o say_v i_o the_o moon_n be_v not_o so_o like_o the_o earth_n as_o st._n denis_n be_v to_o paris_n the_o sun_n raise_v from_o the_o earth_n and_o water_n exhalation_n and_o vapour_n which_o mount_v in_o the_o air_n to_o a_o certain_a height_n where_o they_o gather_v and_o form_v the_o cloud_n those_o cloud_n hang_v there_o fly_v irregular_o about_o our_o globe_n and_o shadow_n sometime_o one_o country_n sometime_o another_o whoever_o shall_v see_v the_o earth_n at_o a_o distance_n will_v often_o observe_v great_a change_n upon_o the_o surface_n for_o a_o large_a country_n cover_v with_o cloud_n will_v appear_v a_o obscure_a part_n and_o will_v become_v luminous_a as_o the_o cloud_n remove_v the_o spot_n will_v appear_v to_o change_v place_n or_o gather_v in_o diverse_a manner_n or_o whole_o disappear_v so_o likewise_o we_o shall_v see_v the_o same_o change_n in_o the_o face_n of_o the_o moon_n if_o she_o have_v cloud_n about_o she_o but_o on_o the_o contrary_a all_o her_o spot_n be_v fix_v her_o part_n always_o luminous_a and_o there_o be_v the_o mischief_n on_o it_o by_o this_o account_n the_o sun_n raise_v no_o vapour_n nor_o exhalation_n about_o the_o moon_n it_o must_v therefore_o be_v a_o body_n infinite_o more_o hard_a and_o solid_a than_o our_o earth_n and_o the_o more_o subtle_a part_n of_o it_o easl_o disengage_v themselves_o from_o the_o other_o and_o mount_v on_o high_a as_o soon_o as_o they_o be_v put_v in_o motion_n by_o the_o heat_n so_o that_o it_o must_v be_v a_o mass_n of_o rock_n and_o marble_n where_o there_o be_v no_o evaporation_n for_o they_o be_v so_o natural_o &_o necessary_o raise_v where_o there_o be_v water_n that_o there_o must_v needs_o be_v no_o water_n where_o there_o be_v no_o vapour_n what_o be_v then_o the_o inhabitant_n of_o those_o rock_n which_o can_v produce_v nothing_o and_o of_o that_o country_n that_o have_v no_o water_n how_o now_o cry_v she_o have_v you_o forget_v that_o you_o assure_v i_o there_o be_v sea_n in_o the_o moon_n to_o be_v see_v from_o hence_o that_o be_v but_o a_o conjecture_n say_v i_o i_o be_o sorry_a for_o it_o those_o obscure_a part_n which_o be_v take_v for_o sea_n perhaps_o be_v but_o great_a cavity_n at_o this_o distance_n it_o may_v be_v allow_v not_o to_o guess_v exact_o right_a but_o say_v she_o be_v that_o sufficient_a to_o make_v we_o renounce_v the_o inhabitant_n of_o the_o moon_n not_o whole_o madam_n say_v i_o we_o will_v neither_o conclude_v for_o they_o nor_o against_o they_o i_o must_v confess_v my_o weakness_n say_v she_o i_o be_o not_o capable_a of_o so_o perfect_a a_o irresolution_n i_o must_v believe_v fix_v i_o present_o in_o some_o one_o opinion_n concern_v the_o inhabitant_n of_o the_o moon_n let_v we_o preserve_v they_o or_o annihilate_v they_o for_o ever_o that_o they_o may_v be_v no_o more_o

not_o leave_v the_o moon_n a_o desert_n let_v we_o people_n it_o again_o to_o satisfy_v you_o in_o truth_n since_o the_o appearance_n of_o the_o spot_n of_o the_o moon_n do_v not_o change_v it_o can_v be_v believe_v that_o that_o there_o be_v cloud_n about_o she_o that_o darken_v sometime_o one_o part_n sometime_o another_o but_o yet_o that_o do_v not_o argue_v that_o she_o do_v not_o send_v out_o 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 but_o exhalation_n and_o vapour_n which_o at_o their_o rise_n from_o the_o earth_n be_v separate_v in_o

part_n after_o which_o they_o become_v gross_a cloud_n that_o float_v in_o the_o air_n where_o their_o body_n be_v stranger_n till_o they_o fall_v in_o rain_n but_o those_o very_a vapour_n and_o exhalation_n be_v sometime_o disperse_v enough_o to_o become_v invisible_a and_o do_v not_o reunite_v but_o when_o they_o form_v a_o subtle_a dew_n which_o be_v not_o see_v to_o fall_v from_o any_o cloud_n it_o may_v be_v likewise_o that_o the_o vapour_n which_o rise_v from_o the_o moon_n for_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o some_o do_v arise_v from_o she_o it_o be_v not_o credible_a that_o
