in_o the_o nine_o head_n or_o opinion_n that_o the_o origine_fw-la and_o matter_n of_o comet_n be_v in_o a_o manner_n the_o same_o with_o the_o solar_a maculae_fw-la it_o will_v not_o be_v amiss_o here_o to_o add_v the_o particular_n in_o which_o they_o agree_v as_o by_o hevelius_n in_o the_o seven_o book_n of_o his_o cometographia_fw-la they_o be_v compendious_o exhibit_v in_o the_o follow_a aphorism_n 1._o comet_n as_o the_o maculae_fw-la have_v both_o a_o physical_a and_o astronomical_a rise_n but_o few_o of_o they_o aphorism_n have_v both_o astronomical_a rise_n and_o set_v in_o regard_n they_o last_v not_o long_o but_o be_v dissolve_v before_o they_o attain_v the_o western_a horizon_n other_o have_v neither_o astronomical_a rise_n nor_o set_v but_o physical_a only_o as_o be_v produce_v and_o dissipate_v above_o the_o horizon_n 2._o as_o the_o maculae_fw-la be_v compose_v of_o the_o grosser_n solar_a matter_n or_o more_o dense_a effluvia_fw-la so_o comet_n be_v form_v of_o the_o evaporation_n of_o divers_a planetary_a body_n 3._o comet_n have_v a_o threefold_a age_n their_o green_a and_o grow_a age_n their_o full_a grow_v or_o ripe_a age_n and_o their_o decline_a or_o decay_a age_n that_o be_v to_o say_v their_o time_n of_o augmentation_n duration_n and_o decay_n 4._o comet_n have_v their_o augmentation_n and_o decrement_n as_o well_o physical_a as_o optical_a not_o in_o a_o certain_a part_n of_o the_o heaven_n but_o in_o any_o part_n thereof_o and_o that_o without_o intermission_n successive_o sensible_o and_o unequal_o hence_o it_o happen_v sometime_o that_o a_o comet_n increase_v slow_o and_o more_o durable_o be_v on_o a_o sudden_a extinguish_v and_o on_o the_o contrary_a another_o that_o sudden_o show_v itself_o last_v a_o long_a time_n and_o be_v slow_o dissolve_v 5._o comet_n as_o the_o maculae_fw-la be_v generate_v and_o increase_v by_o the_o accession_n of_o similar_v matter_n through_o condensation_n adgeneration_n substantial_a generation_n and_o aggregation_n of_o minute_n body_n and_o by_o contrary_a mean_n be_v dissipate_v and_o decay_n 6._o comet_n as_o the_o maculae_fw-la be_v by_o no_o mean_n spherical_a body_n but_o plane_n and_o of_o different_a thickness_n sometime_o represent_v to_o our_o view_n like_o round_a or_o regular_a figure_n at_o other_o time_n appear_v in_o irregular_a form_n and_o differ_v in_o

colour_n 7._o the_o nuclei_fw-la kernel_n or_o knot_n of_o comet_n sensible_o increase_v and_o decrease_v and_o those_o which_o sudden_o increase_n be_v of_o short_a duration_n and_o be_v soon_o
