timber_n and_o when_o it_o be_v come_v to_o the_o extreme_a part_n it_o return_v again_o from_o the_o top_n of_o the_o root_n and_o branch_n between_o the_o bark_n and_o timber_n into_o these_o forename_a interior_a passage_n and_o so_o back_o to_o the_o extremity_n again_o and_o that_o continual_o so_o long_o as_o the_o life_n remain_v and_o because_o the_o substance_n of_o that_o skin_n

as_o be_v superad_v to_o the_o stock_n of_o the_o former_a aliment_n from_o the_o earth_n be_v convey_v to_o the_o heart_n and_o pitch_n by_o mean_n of_o and_o together_o with_o that_o part_n of_o the_o retrograd_v juice_n which_o return_v from_o nourish_v and_o enliven_a the_o timber_n of_o the_o root-branche_n for_o it_o be_v a_o easy_a experiment_n to_o make_v the_o top_n of_o any_o tree_n

therefore_o the_o moon_n must_v be_v 30_o time_n slow_a in_o her_o retrograde_a motion_n than_o the_o sun_n be_v in_o his_o diurnal_a motion_n let_v we_o suppose_v next_o as_o i_o observe_v with_o a_o

therefore_o in_o every_o minute_n of_o time_n she_o must_v advance_v the_o four_o part_n of_o a_o inch_n which_o will_v be_v very_o sensible_a though_o we_o grant_v that_o the_o moon_n have_v no_o
