vessel_n full_a of_o water_n it_o descend_v to_o the_o bottom_n and_o cause_v the_o water_n to_o retire_v and_o when_o the_o earth_n or_o the_o stone_n be_v first_o at_o the_o bottom_n of_o the_o vessel_n the_o water_n be_v pour_v therein_o it_o do_v not_o cause_v they_o to_o retire_v against_o this_o there_o be_v oppose_v two_o considerable_a objection_n the_o one_o be_v that_o the_o water_n be_v see_v to_o have_v motion_n through_o the_o earth_n which_o happen_v by_o the_o rain_n fall_v on_o the_o earth_n and_o its_o pass_n through_o it_o po_o elementary_a place_n must_v needs_o then_o be_v under_o the_o earth_n towards_o which_o it_o always_o run_v and_o this_o will_v not_o happen_v if_o it_o be_v not_o heavy_a than_o the_o earth_n the_o second_o objection_n be_v that_o see_v there_o be_v great_a gulf_n of_o water_n find_v under_o the_o earth_n as_o appear_v by_o well_n and_o fountain_n it_o therefore_o follow_v that_o the_o elementary_a place_n of_o the_o water_n aught_o to_o be_v under_o the_o earth_n for_o the_o more_o water_n you_o draw_v out_o of_o a_o well_n the_o more_o there_o enter_v into_o it_o which_o will_v not_o be_v say_v they_o if_o there_o be_v not_o great_a gulf_n of_o water_n under_o the_o ground_n which_o be_v the_o source_n of_o spring_n but_o these_o opinion_n be_v maintain_v by_o very_o feeble_a ground_n we_o shall_v answer_v to_o the_o first_o that_o though_o the_o name_n water_n be_v see_v to_o descend_v through_o the_o earth_n it_o be_v not_o because_o its_o heavy_a but_o only_o that_o it_o fill_v the_o pore_n and_o concavity_n thereof_o which_o have_v do_v we_o may_v clear_o see_v it_o only_o drive_v over_o the_o superficies_n of_o the_o earth_n the_o answer_n against_o the_o second_o be_v that_o the_o perennity_n of_o spring_n do_v not_o proceed_v from_o the_o great_a water-gulph_n under_o ground_n forasmuch_o that_o there_o have_v no_o such_o thing_n be_v know_v but_o to_o the_o contrary_a that_o all_o the_o fountain_n have_v their_o origin_n from_o the_o sea_n and_o that_o the_o earth_n be_v full_a of_o vein_n which_o contain_v the_o water_n send_v from_o the_o sea_n for_o to_o moisten_v the_o earth_n which_o otherwise_o can_v not_o produce_v its_o sundry_a propriety_n the_o open_n of_o those_o vein_n make_v a_o fountain_n the_o fountain_n engender_v current_n many_o current_n make_v a_o river_n many_o river_n a_o flood_n which_o discharge_v itself_o in_o the_o sea_n against_o this_o there_o be_v also_o object_v that_o then_o the_o fountain_n ought_v to_o be_v brinish_a and_o salt_n as_o the_o sea-water_n be_v and_o second_o that_o the_o spring_n be_v much_o high_a than_o the_o sea_n the_o motion_n ought_v to_o ascend_v which_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o water_n the_o answer_n to_o it_o be_v that_o the_o saltness_n of_o the_o water_n be_v purge_v by_o the_o long_a and_o narrow_a trace_n which_o it_o make_v within_o the_o stony_a and_o sandy_a place_n through_o which_o it_o pass_v which_o be_v evident_a in_o the_o great_a part_n of_o such_o fountain_n as_o pass_v by_o the_o rock_n since_o they_o be_v much_o pure_a and_o clean_a than_o those_o which_o run_v through_o fat_a and_o fenny_a ground_n for_o the_o spring_n it_o be_v not_o incongruous_a to_o say_v that_o the_o water_n ascend_v from_o the_o sea_n to_o they_o because_o its_o a_o motion_n make_v by_o attraction_n that_o the_o earth_n be_v in_o the_o middle_n of_o the_o world_n the_o philosopher_n aristarchus_n samienus_n do_v believe_v that_o the_o earth_n be_v not_o in_o the_o middle_n of_o the_o world_n but_o that_o the_o sun_n be_v in_o the_o middle_n and_o be_v there_o as_o unmovable_a it_o give_v light_a to_o all_o the_o world_n this_o philosopher_n esteem_v it_o to_o be_v a_o great_a absurdity_n that_o the_o earth_n which_o produce_v a_o infinite_a number_n of_o movable_a animal_n shall_v be_v unmovable_a and_o that_o the_o cause_n shall_v be_v of_o a_o worse_a condition_n than_o its_o effect_n this_o opinion_n have_v be_v since_o renew_v by_o copernicus_n a_o excellent_a astronomer_n who_o do_v strive_v to_o prove_v it_o in_o his_o revolution_n but_o the_o contrary_a be_v prove_v thus_o the_o star_n which_o be_v in_o the_o firmament_n whether_o they_o be_v in_o the_o middle_n of_o the_o heaven_n towards_o the_o east_n or_o towards_o the_o west_n appear_v always_o of_o one_o and_o the_o self_n same_o bigness_n which_o will_v not_o happen_v if_o the_o earth_n be_v not_o equal_o distant_a from_o it_o for_o if_o the_o earth_n be_v near_o to_o the_o firmament_n in_o one_o place_n then_o the_o other_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o from_o the_o part_n of_o the_o superficies_n of_o the_o earth_n near_a to_o the_o firmament_n the_o half_a of_o the_o heaven_n can_v not_o be_v see_v which_o be_v against_o the_o opinion_n of_o ptolemy_n and_o of_o all_o the_o philosopher_n who_o say_v that_o in_o what_o part_n soever_o of_o the_o earth_n a_o man_n be_v he_o may_v see_v six_o sign_n of_o the_o zodiac_n to_o rise_v and_o six_o to_o descend_v so_o there_o be_v no_o hindrance_n and_o thus_o always_o half_a of_o the_o heaven_n be_v see_v and_o the_o other_o half_o hide_v it_o be_v also_o prove_v thus_o the_o further_a the_o moon_n go_v from_o the_o sun_n the_o more_o it_o augment_v its_o light_n to_o our_o consideration_n therefore_o when_o it_o be_v at_o the_o full_a it_o be_v at_o the_o further_a distance_n that_o possible_o may_v be_v from_o the_o sun_n and_o so_o it_o must_v of_o necessity_n be_v on_o the_o diameter_n of_o the_o heaven_n and_o then_o the_o half_a of_o the_o heaven_n will_v be_v between_o the_o sun_n and_o the_o moon_n when_o it_o be_v at_o the_o full_a the_o same_o be_v prove_v also_o by_o the_o ecilpse_n of_o the_o moon_n for_o when_o the_o moon_n be_v eclipse_v half_a of_o the_o heaven_n be_v interpose_v between_o the_o sun_n and_o the_o moon_n because_o the_o moon_n never_o eclipse_n but_o in_o its_o full_a therefore_o if_o the_o earth_n be_v not_o interpose_v there_o will_v be_v no_o eclipse_n since_o by_o the_o interposition_n of_o the_o earth_n the_o shadow_n be_v make_v as_o also_o the_o equinoxe_n will_v not_o be_v throughout_o the_o whole_a world_n the_o long_a artificial_a day_n will_v not_o equal_v the_o long_a artificial_a night_n and_o a_o infinite_a number_n of_o other_o absurdity_n will_v follow_v and_o therefore_o we_o will_v conclude_v that_o the_o earth_n as_o the_o heavy_a element_n have_v be_v place_v in_o the_o lowermost_a place_n and_o the_o lowermost_a place_n of_o necessity_n must_v be_v that_o which_o be_v the_o further_a from_o the_o heaven_n and_o the_o place_n which_o be_v the_o further_a from_o the_o heaven_n can_v but_o be_v the_o centre_n therefore_o the_o earth_n be_v in_o the_o centre_n that_o be_v to_o say_v in_o the_o middle_n of_o the_o heaven_n or_o of_o the_o world_n that_o the_o earth_n be_v unmovable_a the_o earth_n can_v have_v any_o motion_n for_o if_o it_o shall_v move_v it_o must_v needs_o either_o be_v out_o of_o its_o place_n or_o circular_o on_o its_o centre_n if_o it_o move_v out_o of_o its_o place_n its_o motion_n must_v be_v either_o upward_o or_o downward_o downward_o it_o can_v because_o it_o be_v at_o the_o centre_n it_o can_v move_v upward_o because_o it_o be_v against_o the_o nature_n of_o heavy_a thing_n and_o then_o the_o proof_n here_o before_o mention_v do_v suffice_v for_o it_o will_v else_o quit_v its_o centre_n and_o then_o the_o star_n will_v not_o always_o appear_v of_o the_o selfsame_a greatness_n which_o be_v absurd_a therefore_o if_o it_o have_v any_o motion_n it_o must_v be_v circular_o on_o its_o centre_n neither_o can_v its_o motion_n be_v circular_o according_a to_o copernicus_n his_o opinion_n because_o that_o if_o it_o be_v so_o it_o must_v turn_v on_o the_o axe_n of_o the_o world_n or_o on_o some_o other_o if_o it_o be_v on_o the_o axe_n of_o the_o world_n it_o must_v perform_v its_o course_n in_o twenty_o four_o hour_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o first_o movable_a and_o then_o by_o such_o a_o violent_a motion_n the_o building_n will_v be_v shake_v the_o bird_n the_o cloud_n and_o all_o what_o be_v see_v in_o the_o air_n will_v always_o incline_v towards_o the_o west_n as_o not_o be_v able_a to_o follow_v the_o swift_a motion_n of_o the_o earth_n nor_o can_v it_o move_v by_o any_o other_o way_n be_v the_o motion_n never_o so_o slow_a because_o that_o a_o town_n place_v either_o more_o or_o less_o distant_a from_o the_o pole_n will_v then_o have_v divers_a elevation_n because_o that_o the_o circumference_n which_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o earth_n will_v cause_v it_o to_o make_v about_o the_o pole_n will_v not_o be_v parallel_n to_o it_o which_o can_v never_o happen_v therefore_o it_o be_v
