brisk_o i_o shall_v know_v all_o the_o rest_n when_o i_o please_v i_o need_v but_o think_v on_o it_o a_o moment_n and_o walk_v the_o moon_n about_o her_o monthly_a circuit_n i_o see_v in_o general_a that_o in_o the_o moon_n they_o have_v a_o month_n reverse_v to_o we_o and_o i_o will_v hold_v a_o wager_n that_o when_o it_o be_v full_a moon_n with_o we_o it_o be_v the_o enlighten_v half_a of_o the_o moon_n turn_v towards_o the_o obscure_a part_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o it_o be_v then_o they_o see_v we_o not_o at_o all_o and_o count_v it_o new_a earth_n i_o will_v not_o be_v reproach_v to_o have_v require_v so_o minute_n a_o explication_n of_o a_o thing_n so_o easy_a but_o pray_v how_o happen_v the_o eclipse_n that_o say_v i_o belong_v to_o you_o to_o judge_v when_o it_o be_v new_a moon_n that_o she_o be_v between_o we_o and_o the_o sun_n and_o that_o all_o her_o obscure_a part_n be_v turn_v towards_o we_o in_o our_o day_n time_n you_o see_v well_o that_o the_o shadow_n of_o that_o obscure_a half_n be_v cast_v towards_o we_o if_o the_o moon_n be_v direct_o under_o the_o sun_n that_o shadow_n hide_v he_o from_o we_o and_o at_o the_o same_o time_n darken_v all_o that_o luminous_a part_n of_o the_o earth_n that_o be_v see_v by_o the_o obscure_a part_n of_o the_o moon_n see_v there_o a_o eclipse_n of_o the_o sun_n for_o we_o in_o our_o day_n time_n and_o a_o eclipse_n of_o the_o earth_n for_o the_o moon_n in_o their_o night_n when_o the_o moon_n be_v full_a the_o earth_n be_v between_o she_o and_o the_o sun_n and_o all_o the_o obscure_a half_a of_o the_o earth_n be_v turn_v towards_o the_o enlighten_v half_a of_o the_o moon_n the_o shadow_n of_o the_o earth_n be_v then_o cast_v towards_o the_o moon_n and_o if_o it_o fall_v upon_o the_o body_n of_o the_o moon_n it_o darken_v that_o luminous_a half_a waich_a we_o see_v and_o hide_v the_o sun_n from_o that_o luminous_a half_n in_o the_o moon_n where_o it_o be_v day_n see_v there_o a_o eclipse_n of_o the_o moon_n for_o we_o in_o our_o night_n and_o a_o eclipse_n of_o the_o sun_n for_o the_o moon_n in_o her_o day_n the_o reason_n why_o eclipse_n do_v not_o happen_v every_o time_n that_o the_o moon_n be_v between_o the_o sun_n and_o the_o earth_n or_o the_o earth_n between_o the_o sun_n and_o the_o moon_n be_v because_o those_o three_o body_n be_v not_o always_o in_o a_o right_a line_n one_o to_o the_o other_o and_o by_o consequence_n that_o body_n that_o ought_v to_o make_v the_o eclipse_n cast_v its_o shadow_n a_o little_a on_o one_o side_n of_o that_o which_o shall_v be_v obscure_v by_o it_o i_o be_o very_o much_o astonish_v say_v the_o marchioness_n that_o there_o shall_v be_v so_o little_a mystery_n in_o eclipse_n and_o yet_o all_o the_o world_n so_o ignorant_a of_o their_o cause_n ah_o say_v i_o there_o be_v enough_o in_o the_o world_n that_o as_o they_o go_v to_o work_v will_v never_o understand_v they_o the_o east_n indian_n believe_v that_o when_o the_o sun_n and_o moon_n be_v in_o eclipse●_n it_o be_v a_o certain_a daemon_n that_o with_o his_o black_a paw_n stretch_v out_o towards_o those_o star_n endeavour_n to_o lay_v hold_n on_o they_o and_o you_o shall_v see_v at_o that_o time_n the_o river_n cover_v with_o head_n of_o indian_n who_o plunge_v themselves_o up_o to_o the_o neck_n in_o water_n as_o the_o most_o devout_a posture_n in_o their_o

when_o they_o be_v eclipse_v and_o god_n know_v what_o they_o do_v not_o to_o reconcile_v themselves_o with_o they_o the_o greek_n who_o be_v so_o refine_v do_v they_o not_o believe_v a_o long_a

the_o marchioness_n be_v the_o earth_n as_o proper_a as_o the_o moon_n to_o reflect_v the_o light_n of_o the_o sun_n i_o observe_v say_v i_o that_o you_o have_v still_o a_o good_a thought_n for_o
