long_o than_o its_o distance_n from_o the_o earth_n and_o consequent_o several_a time_n long_o than_o the_o distance_n between_o the_o earth_n and_o the_o moon_n that_o its_o visible_a way_n among_o

not_o at_o all_o probable_a again_o suppose_v it_o move_v about_o the_o sun_n as_o tycho_n have_v do_v we_o find_v from_o his_o calculation_n of_o it_o he_o be_v fain_o to_o allow_v it_o a_o quick_a and_o slow_a motion_n in_o its_o orbit_n to_o solve_v the_o phaenomena_n which_o seem_v to_o i_o but_o a_o shift_n that_o will_v serve_v to_o help_v out_o any_o lame_a hypothesis_n whatsoever_o and_o that_o grant_v and_o the_o parallax_n of_o the_o comet_n unknown_a i_o will_v undertake_v very_o easy_o to_o make_v out_o almost_o any_o hypothesis_n which_o be_v the_o fault_n also_o of_o mr._n horox_n his_o hypothesis_n wherein_o he_o suppose_v the_o earth_n to_o be_v move_v about_o the_o sun_n and_o the_o comet_n like_o a_o rocket_n to_o be_v shoot_v out_o of_o the_o sun_n and_o by_o degree_n to_o return_v to_o it_o again_o in_o which_o hypothesis_n indeed_o there_o seem_v to_o be_v much_o more_o reason_n for_o aninequality_n of_o motion_n though_o not_o in_o the_o manner_n as_o he_o have_v place_v it_o it_o be_v very_o rational_a that_o the_o motion_n of_o it_o at_o first_o if_o cast_v out_o of_o the_o sun_n shall_v be_v very_o swift_a but_o than_o it_o ought_v likewise_o to_o have_v accelerate_a its_o motion_n in_o the_o same_o manner_n in_o its_o return_n back_o to_o it_o again_o which_o it_o do_v not_o in_o his_o hypothesis_n for_o a_o stone_n or_o any_o other_o heavy_a body_n be_v shoot_v up_o into_o the_o air_n do_v make_v its_o return_n back_o again_o to_o the_o earth_n almost_o by_o the_o same_o degree_n of_o velocity_n by_o which_o it_o ascend_v from_o it_o almost_o i_o say_v because_o the_o resistance_n of_o the_o air_n do_v so_o far_a impede_fw-la the_o motion_n of_o the_o body_n through_o it_o that_o it_o never_o suffer_v it_o to_o acquire_v the_o same_o degree_n of_o velocity_n with_o which_o it_o be_v first_o shoot_v upward_o this_o be_v sufficient_o evident_a from_o a_o pendulum_n which_o if_o it_o be_v throw_v upward_o and_o be_v suffer_v to_o return_v back_o it_o will_v never_o rise_v again_o on_o the_o opposite_a side_n to_o a_o equal_a height_n with_o that_o it_o descend_v from_o on_o that_o side_n towards_o which_o it_o be_v throw_v but_o beside_o in_o his_o hypothesis_n he_o seem_v to_o take_v no_o notice_n at_o all_o of_o the_o latitude_n of_o the_o comet_n which_o seem_v to_o carry_v it_o much_o far_o off_o from_o the_o sun_n when_o he_o suppose_v it_o to_o be_v return_v near_o and_o indeed_o upon_o the_o whole_a his_o hypothesis_n seem_v rather_o a_o product_n of_o chance_n than_o of_o any_o contrivance_n for_o he_o in_o endeavour_v to_o set_v off_o the_o longitude_n of_o the_o comet_n according_a to_o tycho_n table_n and_o to_o trace_v its_o way_n by_o suppose_v the_o earth_n annual_a motion_n make_v use_n always_o of_o the_o same_o radius_fw-la to_o set_v off_o the_o aspect_n or_o apparent_a angle_n of_o it_o with_o the_o sun_n his_o line_n of_o chord_n he_o make_v use_v of_o do_v always_o direct_a the_o point_n of_o his_o compass_n to_o the_o place_n where_o he_o situate_v the_o comet_n as_o may_v be_v easy_o find_v by_o examine_v the_o nine_o figure_n where_o you_o may_v find_v that_o he_o place_v the_o comet_n always_o equal_o distant_a from_o the_o earth_n and_o that_o distance_n be_v always_o equal_a to_o the_o distance_n of_o the_o sun_n which_o have_v so_o many_o
