firmament_n they_o be_v seven_o to_o the_o which_o the_o ancient_a have_v give_v the_o name_n of_o their_o deity_n for_o the_o power_n of_o their_o influence_n viz._n saturn_n jupiter_n mars_n the_o sun_n mercury_n venus_n and_o the_o moon_n duskie_n matter_n be_v that_o which_o give_v no_o passage_n to_o the_o light_n as_o the_o wood_n the_o stone_n solid_n and_o fix_a matter_n be_v that_o which_o suffer_v not_o easy_o penetration_n as_o the_o glass_n the_o crystal_n penetrable_a matter_n be_v that_o which_o suffer_v with_o facility_n penetration_n as_o the_o air_n the_o water_n and_o the_o fire_n transparent_a matter_n be_v that_o which_o give_v passage_n to_o the_o light_n as_o the_o glass_n and_o the_o crystal_n the_o matter_n of_o heaven_n be_v then_o solid_a fix_v impenetrable_a and_o transparent_a that_o there_o be_v many_o heaven_n it_o be_v prove_v that_o there_o be_v many_o heaven_n by_o the_o diversity_n of_o the_o motion_n in_o this_o manner_n since_o the_o matter_n of_o heaven_n be_v solid_a two_o planet_n have_v different_a motion_n can_v be_v in_o the_o same_o heaven_n by_o the_o same_o reason_n it_o ought_v to_o be_v note_v that_o it_o be_v not_o the_o planet_n which_o move_v but_o its_o heaven_n otherwise_o they_o will_v penetrate_v the_o matter_n which_o be_v solid_a but_o the_o sun_n and_o the_o moon_n have_v different_a motion_n for_o the_o sun_n achieve_v its_o course_n in_o a_o year_n and_o the_o moon_n in_o a_o month_n than_o the_o sun_n and_o the_o moon_n can_v be_v in_o the_o same_o heaven_n by_o this_o reason_n there_o be_v not_o two_o of_o all_o theseven_a planet_n which_o have_v the_o same_o motion_n there_o shall_v require_v seven_o heaven_n for_o the_o seven_o planet_n the_o matter_n of_o heaven_n be_v fix_n and_o impenetrable_a there_o can_v be_v say_v against_o this_o that_o there_o may_v be_v one_o only_a heaven_n of_o a_o impenetrable_a matter_n in_o the_o which_o many_o space_n be_v imagine_v by_o the_o which_o the_o planet_n have_v different_a motion_n can_v make_v their_o course_n but_o this_o come_v always_o to_o the_o point_n viz._n that_o there_o must_v always_o be_v seven_o space_n for_o the_o seven_o planet_n which_o must_v be_v fill_v with_o seven_o body_n which_o be_v call_v heaven_n which_o be_v join_v the_o one_o to_o the_o other_o of_o the_o firmament_n or_o eigth_n heaven_n we_o have_v prove_v that_o there_o be_v seven_o heaven_n for_o the_o seven_o planet_n we_o will_v show_v yet_o that_o there_o must_v be_v another_o heaven_n for_o all_o the_o fix_a star_n different_a from_o the_o seven_o other_o for_o the_o ancient_a astronomer_n have_v observe_v that_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o star_n be_v very_o slow_a and_o do_v not_o advance_v but_o from_o a_o hundred_o to_o a_o hundred_o year_n a_o degree_n it_o have_v then_o be_v necessary_a to_o admit_v a_o eigth_n heaven_n in_o the_o which_o be_v all_o the_o fix_a star_n which_o do_v not_o vary_v their_o situation_n distance_n nor_o figure_n and_o this_o heaven_n be_v call_v firmament_n if_o the_o star_n be_v infinite_a and_o how_o the_o astronomer_n divide_v they_o for_o the_o fix_a star_n we_o hold_v they_o to_o be_v infinite_a as_o the_o holy_a scripture_n testify_v it_o it_o be_v to_o say_v that_o beside_o the_o great_a infinite_a number_n which_o be_v see_v there_o be_v yet_o a_o infinite_a of_o other_o little_a which_o be_v not_o see_v as_o have_v be_v know_v by_o certain_a prospective_n glass_n which_o have_v be_v make_v in_o italy_n that_o though_o the_o ancient_n have_v not_o mark_v more_o than_o 1022._o be_v not_o that_o they_o will_v say_v that_o there_o be_v no_o more_o but_o that_o they_o have_v only_o observe_v the_o very_o chief_a for_o to_o serve_v to_o their_o observation_n those_o 1022._o star_n be_v divide_v into_o 48_o constellation_n or_o figure_n of_o animal_n which_o the_o ancient_n have_v imagine_v for_o to_o discern_v the_o one_o from_o the_o other_o and_o have_v separate_v they_o in_o three_o rank_n septentrional_n zodiac_n and_o meridionals_n if_o the_o star_n be_v shine_v of_o themselves_o and_o transparent_a all_o the_o star_n have_v no_o proper_a light_n of_o themselves_o but_o in_o this_o manner_n all_o the_o star_n and_o planet_n be_v of_o the_o same_o nature_n but_o the_o moon_n have_v no_o other_o light_n than_o that_o which_o she_o borrow_v of_o the_o sun_n nor_o then_o any_o other_o star_n that_o if_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o moon_n lose_v not_o its_o light_n quite_o when_o she_o eclipse_n in_o the_o shadow_n of_o the_o earth_n because_o there_o appear_v a_o redness_n in_o the_o eclipse_a party_n and_o that_o such_o redness_n can_v be_v her_o natural_a light_n i_o do_v answer_n that_o it_o can_v be_v natural_a because_o that_o if_o it_o be_v so_o she_o will_v never_o quit_v it_o but_o when_o she_o increase_v or_o that_o she_o be_v in_o the_o first_o quarter_n the_o part_n of_o the_o moon_n which_o be_v not_o illuminate_v of_o the_o sun_n aught_o to_o be_v provide_v of_o that_o redness_n which_o be_v not_o so_o as_o the_o experience_n give_v we_o to_o understand_v then_o all_o redness_n be_v not_o natural_a to_o the_o moon_n that_o if_o it_o be_v ask_v from_o whence_o it_o proceed_v it_o be_v from_o the_o reflection_n of_o the_o light_n which_o be_v encounter_v in_o the_o shadow_n of_o the_o earth_n for_o as_o the_o moon_n be_v a_o polish_a body_n and_o that_o the_o shadow_n of_o the_o earth_n be_v never_o destitute_v of_o some_o little_a light_n which_o cause_v that_o redness_n in_o she_o of_o all_o before_o say_v its_o clear_a see_v that_o the_o sun_n be_v the_o principle_n of_o light_n god_n have_v adorn_v she_o with_o such_o a_o eminent_a quality_n furthermore_o we_o say_v that_o the_o star_n be_v not_o transparent_a as_o the_o heaven_n as_o can_v be_v see_v in_o the_o moon_n and_o mercuri_n when_o they_o be_v interpose_v between_o our_o eye_n and_o the_o sun_n and_o that_o they_o eclipse_v she_o but_o that_o they_o be_v thick_a that_o the_o heaven_n be_v round_o and_o that_o they_o turn_v the_o one_o in_o the_o other_o from_o the_o orient_a to_o the_o occident_n we_o have_v prove_v that_o there_o be_v eight_o heaven_n now_o we_o must_v prove_v that_o they_o be_v round_o and_o that_o they_o turn_v the_o one_o in_o the_o other_o from_o the_o orient_a to_o the_o occident_n the_o which_o manifest_o appear_v for_o we_o see_v that_o the_o sun_n the_o other_o planet_n and_o all_o the_o star_n do_v rise_v first_o in_o the_o orient_a on_o the_o horizon_n then_o by_o little_a and_o little_o advance_v to_o the_o south_n set_v to_o the_o occident_n and_o next_o day_n rise_v again_o in_o the_o orient_a let_v we_o fasten_v ourselves_o but_o to_o the_o sun_n it_o must_v be_v the_o same_o sun_n or_o another_o it_o can_v be_v another_o for_o there_o will_v require_v every_o day_n a_o new_a one_o if_o it_o be_v the_o same_o it_o must_v have_v pass_v over_o it_o within_z it_o or_o underneath_o the_o earth_n it_o can_v have_v pass_v over_o it_o forasmuch_o that_o there_o will_v be_v no_o night_n the_o presence_n of_o the_o sun_n cause_v the_o day_n it_o can_v have_v pass_v within_o since_o it_o be_v great_a as_o we_o shall_v show_v hereafter_o it_o remain_v then_o that_o it_o be_v pass_v underneath_o and_o consequent_o its_o heaven_n turn_v also_o about_o the_o earth_n and_o so_o likewise_o all_o the_o other_o heaven_n be_v round_o since_o they_o turn_v the_o one_o in_o the_o other_o about_o the_o earth_n and_o that_o from_o orient_a to_o occident_n it_o be_v also_o prove_v that_o the_o heaven_n be_v round_o because_o be_v the_o part_n most_o noble_a of_o the_o world_n and_o which_o contain_v all_o the_o rest_n it_o be_v necessary_a that_o it_o shall_v have_v the_o round_a form_n since_o its_o the_o most_o capable_a and_o the_o most_o perfect_a if_o the_o heaven_n have_v another_o figure_n or_o form_n those_o which_o be_v inferior_a to_o the_o other_o can_v not_o carry_v their_o planet_n from_o occident_n to_o orient_a because_o of_o their_o angle_n or_o else_o the_o one_o must_v penetrate_v the_o other_o and_o then_o there_o will_v be_v penetration_n in_o the_o matter_n of_o the_o heaven_n which_o have_v be_v prove_v solid_a and_o fix_v
