the_o firmament_n above_o the_o cloud_n it_o terminate_a its_o expression_n always_o at_o that_o extent_n and_o this_o suit_n very_o well_o with_o moses_n his_o call_v the_o sun_n and_o the_o moon_n the_o great_a light_n and_o make_v nothing_o as_o it_o be_v of_o the_o star_n as_o be_v manifest_a out_o of_o the_o 16_o verse_n of_o the_o first_o of_o genesis_n and_o god_n make_v two_o great_a

so_o considerable_a when_o as_o indeed_o a_o star_n of_o the_o first_o magnitude_n be_v according_a to_o the_o calculation_n of_o the_o astronomer_n twenty_o thousand_o time_n big_a than_o the_o earth_n and_o the_o earth_n five_o and_o forty_o time_n big_a than_o the_o moon_n so_o that_o one_o star_n of_o the_o first_o magnitude_n will_v prove_v about_o nine_o hundred_o thousand_o time_n big_a than_o the_o moon_n which_o notwithstanding_o according_a to_o the_o letter_n of_o moses_n be_v one_o of_o the_o two_o great_a light_n the_o sole_a empress_n of_o the_o night_n but_o here_o the_o letter_n of_o moses_n be_v very_o consistent_a with_o itself_o for_o sith_o that_o the_o extent_n of_o heaven_n be_v not_o acknowledge_v any_o high_a than_o the_o cloud_n or_o thereabouts_o wherein_o as_o i_o show_v you_o the_o sun_n be_v and_o consequent_o the_o moon_n and_o it_o will_v not_o be_v more_o harsh_a to_o make_v the_o star_n stoop_v so_o low_o too_o nay_o they_o must_v indeed_o of_o necessity_n all_o of_o they_o be_v so_o low_a they_o have_v nowhere_o else_o to_o be_v high_a according_a to_o the_o usual_a phrase_n of_o scripture_n the_o appearance_n of_o the_o star_n will_v then_o to_o our_o sight_n sufficient_o set_v out_o their_o proportion_n one_o to_o another_o and_o the_o sun_n and_o the_o moon_n according_a to_o this_o hypothesis_n will_v prove_v the_o two_o great_a light_n and_o the_o star_n but_o scatter_a sky-pebble_n wherefore_o from_o all_o this_o harmony_n and_o correspondency_n of_o thing_n i_o think_v i_o may_v safe_o conclude_v that_o the_o extent_n of_o the_o firmament_n according_a to_o moses_n be_v but_o the_o distance_n from_o the_o sea_n to_o the_o cloud_n or_o there_o abouts_o as_o well_o as_o it_o be_v to_o our_o sight_n which_o can_v discern_v any_o interval_n of_o altitude_n betwixt_o the_o cloud_n and_o the_o moon_n the_o moon_n and_o the_o sun_n and_o last_o betwixt_o the_o sun_n and_o the_o fix_a star_n which_o interpretation_n i_o be_o confident_a any_o man_n will_v admit_v of_o that_o can_v bring_v down_o the_o tumour_n of_o his_o philosophic_a fancy_n unto_o a_o vulgar_a consistency_n and_o fit_a compliance_n with_o the_o sweetness_n and_o simplicity_n of_o moses_n his_o style_n and_o thus_o philalethes_n have_v i_o prove_v that_o there_o be_v no_o room_n for_o thy_o interstellar_a water_n within_o the_o compass_n of_o moses_n his_o creation_n unless_o they_o run_v into_o one_o and_o mingle_v with_o the_o rain_n or_o cloud_n observat._n 13._o here_o i_o call_v the_o ptolemaic_a system_n
