aether_n be_v not_o solid_a or_o firm._n and_o the_o reason_n assign_v why_o the_o aether_n shall_v be_v solid_a and_o firm_a be_v more_o vain_a than_o the_o hypothesis_n which_o be_v because_o it_o move_v one_o way_n and_o the_o planet_n therein_o another_o way_n and_o therefore_o there_o must_v be_v seven_o sphere_n of_o they_o and_o a_o eight_o of_o the_o fix_a star_n and_o to_o these_o be_v since_o add_v a_o nine_o and_o a_o ten_o which_o must_v be_v the_o primum_fw-la mobile_n to_o solv_v these_o phaenomena_n whereas_o in_o the_o first_o day_n there_o be_v only_o one_o circumvolution_n of_o the_o whole_a aether_n one_o and_o the_o same_o way_n to_o make_v day_n and_o night_n and_o so_o until_o the_o four_o day_n and_o then_o we_o do_v not_o read_v of_o any_o such_o division_n thereof_o into_o sphere_n as_o of_o the_o disposition_n of_o the_o water_n and_o earth_n into_o a_o terraqueous_a globe_n but_o only_o of_o the_o creation_n of_o the_o star_n nor_o be_v this_o supposition_n of_o aethereal_a sphere_n any_o solution_n of_o the_o several_a advers._fw-la motion_n for_o perhaps_o the_o slow_a motion_n of_o the_o fix_a star●s_n as_o they_o be_v therefore_o so_o term_v comparative_o which_o be_v also_o advers._fw-la to_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o aether_n may_v be_v as_o several_a and_o then_o they_o must_v also_o allow_v as_o many_o several_a sphere_n for_o every_o one_o of_o they_o and_o so_o for_o any_o of_o the_o planetary_a satellite_n about_o another_o planet_n also_o the_o circumvolution_n of_o they_o by_o the_o primum_fw-la mobile_n must_v be_v either_o by_o a_o corporeal_a and_o external_n impu●s_v and_o then_o they_o must_v cohere_v to_o it_o like_o the_o circular_a sphere_n of_o a_o onion_n which_o be_v the_o usual_a comparison_n which_o cohesion_n will_v also_o make_v the_o circumvolution_n conjunct_a and_o one_o and_o the_o same_o way_n as_o if_o you_o turn_v a_o onion_n so_o about_o otherwise_o if_o they_o do_v not_o so_o cohere_v no_o motion_n of_o the_o inferior_a sphere_n will_v be_v cause_v by_o the_o circumvolution_n of_o the_o superior_a or_o primum_fw-la mobile_n as_o if_o you_o turn_v a_o wheel_n about_o a_o axis_n without_o any_o contact_n much_o less_o can_v it_o move_v all_o the_o other_o so_o many_o several_a way_n or_o it_o must_v be_v by_o some_o spiritual_a potentia_n which_o must_v be_v either_o of_o another_o spirit_n and_o so_o infinite_o or_o of_o itself_o as_o indeed_o it_o be_v and_o then_o the_o several_a planet_n and_o star_n may_v also_o aswell_o have_v such_o several_a potentiae_fw-la in_o themselves_o as_o the_o primum_fw-la mobile_n and_o so_o many_o several_a sphere_n move_a themselves_o and_o their_o several_a planet_n in_o they_o by_o such_o several_a and_o advers._fw-la motion_n also_o firmness_n or_o consistence_n be_v a_o proper_a quality_n of_o earth_n as_o i_o shall_v show_v hereafter_o and_o not_o of_o aether_n and_o though_o the_o aether_n be_v mist_n with_o all_o the_o other_o element_n in_o some_o small_a proportion_n yet_o the_o consistence_n which_o it_o ha●h_v thereby_o be_v very_o inconsyderable_a and_o less_o than_o of_o air_n and_o water_n which_o yet_o be_v denominate_v fluid_a body_n and_o not_o consistent_a and_o be_v rather_o like_o the_o terrene_a opacity_n thereof_o which_o do_v not_o fix_v any_o colour_n in_o aether_n nor_o reflect_v like_o earth_n or_o water_n though_o very_o much_o assist_v by_o the_o vast_a profundity_n thereof_o which_o be_v somewhat_o analogous_a to_o opacity_n as_o well_o as_o density_n as_o may_v appear_v by_o deep_a water_n which_o seem_v more_o black_a and_o specular_a then_o shallow_a the_o spirit_n of_o aether_n be_v fire_n as_o the_o very_a name_n thereof_o do_v import_n which_o also_o plain_o declare_v the_o common_a opinion_n of_o the_o ancient_a grecian_n though_o they_o who_o deny_v the_o thing_n will_v also_o elude_v the_o etymology_n and_o so_o the_o persia●s_n who_o worship_v the_o

this_o motion_n of_o aethereal_a heat_n must_v necessary_o be_v circular_a because_o as_o i_o have_v show_v if_o there_o be_v more_o motion_n than_o the_o body_n move_a can_v exercise_v and_o expend_v direct_o it_o will_v move_v it_o circular_o and_o aether_n can_v not_o move_v any_o other_o way_n for_o be_v more_o rare_a than_o air_n it_o will_v not_o move_v downward_o into_o it_o and_o be_v more_o den_n than_o superaether_o which_o be_v also_o superelementary_a and_o most_o heterogeneous_a it_o can_v not_o move_v upward_o into_o it_o but_o be_v already_o in_o its_o own_o proper_a

which_o be_v always_o actual_a in_o itself_o and_o not_o corrupt_v or_o obstruct_v by_o any_o other_o and_o it_o therefore_o move_v equaly_n because_o there_o be_v none_o other_o causality_n to_o

though_o the_o proper_a aethereal_a virtue_n according_a to_o that_o general_a power_n thereof_o do_v so_o carry_v it_o about_o with_o a_o perfect_a regularity_n yet_o since_o it_o have_v be_v

all_o other_o body_n potentia_o but_o never_o actualy_n and_o so_o the_o whole_a earth_n have_v also_o gravity_n and_o the_o like_a and_o as_o i_o have_v now_o disprove_v this_o pretend_a motion_n of_o the_o earth_n by_o the_o magnetical_a virtue_n thereof_o so_o i_o know_v no_o other_o caus_n assign_v of_o such_o a_o rapid_a motion_n thereof_o as_o must_v be_v suppose_v that_o be_v about_o

of_o a_o bullet_n drop_v from_o a_o a_o steeple_n but_o they_o say_v the_o bullet_n also_o be_v a_o terrella_n and_o move_v with_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o will_v prove_v it_o by_o

and_o this_o opacity_n be_v a_o terrene_a quality_n whereunto_o the_o density_n thereof_o be_v assistant_n and_o so_o earth_n itself_o be_v most_o opacous_a and_o water_n less_o yet_o have_v some_o

for_o as_o owl_n can_v not_o see_v by_o daylight_n so_o the_o strong_a sight_n can_v not_o see_v the_o pure_a light_n nor_o can_v it_o exist_v in_o its_o own_o simple_a vehemence_n without_o the_o

though_o it_o be_v never_o so_o small_a and_o though_o it_o be_v move_v any_o way_n whatsoever_o and_o so_o suppose_v the_o part_n of_o any_o one_o orb_n to_o move_v in_o the_o orb_n as_o all_o the_o orb_n do_v in_o the_o aether_n they_o will_v no_o more_o alter_v the_o orb_n than_o the_o orb_n do_v the_o aether_n and_o if_o matter_n and_o motion_n can_v thus_o make_v or_o alter_v elementary_a nature_n which_o be_v inferior_a much_o less_o any_o other_o that_o be_v superior_a and_o i_o suppose_v that_o the_o superaether_o be_v altogether_o immovable_a both_o in_o the_o whole_a and_o in_o all_o the_o part_n thereof_o wherefore_o since_o this_o and_o all_o the_o other_o heaven_n be_v so_o stupendous_a that_o as_o some_o suppose_v
circle_n have_v always_o a_o long_a diameter_n yet_o as_o the_o optical_a segment_n and_o conoid_v be_v great_a and_o more_o late_o so_o the_o axis_n or_o diameter_n be_v short_a like_o a_o lens_n which_o as_o it_o have_v a_o more_o late_a superficies_n have_v a_o less_o profundity_n and_o thus_o always_o when_o we_o see_v the_o same_o object_n great_a we_o see_v it_o near_o and_o less_o far_o and_o because_o the_o natural_a way_n of_o vision_n be_v hemispherical_a therefore_o if_o we_o see_v perpendicular_o as_o i_o say_v that_o be_v according_a to_o half_a the_o hemispere_fw-fr as_o if_o we_o lay_v our_o ey_fw-mi on_o a_o long_a plane_n table_n or_o stand_v on_o the_o shore_n behold_v the_o sea_n or_o look_v on_o the_o side_n of_o a_o brickwall_n behold_v the_o white_a line_n thereof_o our_o vision_n be_v disturb_v thereby_o because_o the_o other_o ray_n which_o do_v not_o come_v to_o the_o ey_fw-mi hemispherica_o but_o rise_v towards_o and_o press_v upon_o the_o perpendicular_a axis_n of_o vision_n do_v oppress_v and_o disturb_v it_o and_o so_o the_o object_n seem_v to_o rise_v high_o as_o the_o sea_n do_v to_o the_o sight_n one_o way_n and_o the_o ray_n converge_v together_o towards_o the_o axis_n the_o other_o way_n seem_v at_o length_n to_o meet_v and_o terminate_v the_o sight_n as_o the_o white_a line_n of_o the_o brickwall_n again_o in_o natural_a vision_n itself_o there_o be_v a_o optical_a proportion_n to_o be_v considere_v according_a to_o the_o several_a figure_n of_o several_a eye_n as_o i_o have_v say_v and_o so_o the_o meta_fw-la of_o the_o most_o distinct_a vision_n be_v such_o as_o that_o some_o read_v best_o far_o and_o some_o near_a as_o myopes_n who_o hold_v a_o book_n as_o near_o to_o their_o ey_fw-mi as_o they_o may_v because_o the_o object_n be_v near_o the_o intersection_n in_o the_o ey_fw-mi be_v somewhat_o far_o and_o low_o as_o i_o have_v say_v before_o and_o they_o be_v thus_o help_v by_o concave_a glass_n as_o i_o suppose_v rather_o than_o by_o the_o little_a image_n which_o do_v penetrate_v the_o fundus_fw-la thereof_o though_o i_o conceiv_v that_o presbytae_fw-la be_v help_v by_o the_o like_a image_n penetrate_v the_o convex_a glass_n which_o they_o use_v but_o as_o the_o convergence_n by_o the_o convex_a glass_n do_v help_v they_o whereby_o certain_o the_o intersection_n be_v near_a and_o higherin_o their_o eye_n so_o the_o divergence_n by_o the_o concave_a glass_n do_v help_v the_o other_o whereby_o the_o intersection_n in_o their_o eye_n shall_v be_v far_o and_o low_o as_o certain_o their_o common_a vision_n be_v very_o much_o near_o and_o as_o in_o convex_a glass_n the_o utmost_a ray_n which_o converge_n most_o and_o so_o first_o intersect_n do_v therefore_o pass_v over_o the_o ey_fw-mi and_o only_o the_o ray_n of_o the_o image_n pass_v into_o it_o so_o also_o in_o concave_a glass_n the_o inmost_a ray_n of_o the_o image_n which_o only_a converge_n and_o intersect_v so_o soon_o do_v therefore_o pass_v over_o it_o but_o i_o refer_v this_o to_o the_o consyderation_n of_o myopes_n themselves_o who_o can_v better_a declare_v the_o experiment_n thereof_o unto_o we_o than_o we_o unto_o ourselus_o who_o have_v not_o their_o eye_n yet_o i_o may_v very_o well_o suppose_v that_o according_a to_o the_o meta_n of_o vision_n which_o be_v different_a in_o several_a man_n according_a to_o the_o different_a figure_n of_o their_o eye_n so_o the_o latitude_n and_o longitude_n of_o object_n see_v at_o the_o meta_n be_v proportionable_a optica_o but_o not_o mathematica_o for_o probable_o he_o that_o see_v at_o the_o near_a meta_n see_v as_o many_o object_n within_o the_o latitude_n thereof_o and_o they_o visible_o as_o far_o in_o longitude_n as_o he_o that_o see_v at_o the_o far_a and_o so_o proportionable_o and_o so_o as_o we_o all_o look_v beyond_o this_o meta_fw-la of_o the_o most_o distinct_a vision_n we_o see_v less_o distinct_o because_o the_o intersection_n in_o the_o ey_fw-mi be_v somewhat_o vary_a thereby_o though_o not_o consyderable_o at_o any_o great_a distance_n as_o i_o have_v say_v but_o i_o conceiv_v also_o that_o because_o the_o ray_n which_o come_v into_o the_o ey_fw-mi be_v weak_a as_o they_o be_v more_o distant_a do_v less_o affect_v the_o sight_n by_o its_o own_o internal_a light_n in_o the_o standard_n therefore_o we_o see_v the_o object_n less_o clear_o and_o distinct_o and_o if_o they_o be_v very_o remote_a and_o not_o very_a lucid_n we_o see_v they_o very_o confuse_o and_o at_o last_o not_o at_o all_o that_o be_v as_o far_o as_o the_o visible_a lucidity_n of_o their_o ray_n do_v pass_v and_o no_o far_o thus_o as_o there_o be_v that_o which_o i_o call_v the_o meta_n of_o the_o most_o distinct_a vision_n so_o also_o a_o limb_n or_o boundary_a of_o the_o utmost_a vision_n which_o if_o the_o object_n be_v only_o colorate_a as_o the_o earth_n and_o earthy_a body_n be_v not_o many_o mile_n distant_a from_o the_o ey_fw-mi and_o as_o i_o suppose_v proportionable_a to_o the_o meta_n but_o if_o the_o object_n be_v more_o or_o less_o lucid_a as_o the_o sun_n moon_n and_o star_n they_o may_v be_v see_v proportionable_o far_a and_o yet_o as_o the_o intersection_n so_o the_o latitude_n and_o longitude_n be_v not_o consyderable_a at_o any_o great_a distance_n for_o so_o if_o we_o look_v on_o the_o surface_n of_o the_o sea_n we_o see_v the_o aether_n and_o aethereal_a body_n therein_o not_o much_o great_a nor_o far_a proportionable_o but_o only_o see_v the_o aether_n beyond_o the_o sea_n as_o we_o see_v ship_n at_o sea_n at_o a_o great_a distance_n one_o beyond_o another_o but_o very_o near_a one_o to_o another_o though_o they_o be_v far_o distant_a one_o from_o another_o also_o as_o the_o vigour_n of_o the_o ray_n be_v finite_a and_o therefore_o less_o as_o they_o pass_v far_o so_o be_v the_o strength_n of_o vision_n itself_o and_o therefore_o if_o we_o look_v through_o a_o open_a tube_n with_o o●e_n ay_o we_o see_v the_o same_o object_n be_v but_o one_o more_o clear_o and_o distinct_o then_o if_o we_o see_v many_o object_n with_o both_o our_o open_a eye_n though_o we_o see_v the_o one_o object_n neither_o great_a nor_o near_o so_o as_o we_o do_v through_o the_o telescope_n and_o so_o though_o art_n may_v help_v nature_n in_o one_o respect_n yet_o it_o hinder_v it_o in_o another_o and_o therefore_o also_o when_o we_o see_v object_n great_a and_o near_o through_o the_o telescope_n we_o see_v they_o more_o dim_a than_o when_o we_o see_v as_o great_a and_o as_o near_o

with_o spectacle_n can_v well_o read_v without_o they_o nor_o be_v it_o good_a to_o dilate_v the_o sight_n in_o read_v by_o more_o light_n than_o be_v needful_a or_o to_o strain_v it_o in_o read_v by_o less_o or_o in_o too_o small_a print_n and_o the_o like_a and_o of_o all_o other_o this_o most_o noble_a sens_n do_v soon_a decay_n and_o while_o we_o enjoy_v it_o be_v most_o liable_a to_o
