i_o ask_v you_o whether_o the_o astronomer_n in_o observe_v with_o their_o instrument_n and_o seek_v v_o gr_n how_o great_a the_o elevation_n of_o a_o star_n be_v above_o the_o horizon_n may_v

sometime_o low_o or_o else_o whether_o the_o error_n must_v needs_o be_v always_o of_o one_o kind_n to_o wit_n that_o err_v they_o always_o make_v it_o too_o much_o and_o never_o too_o little_a or_o always_o too_o little_a and_o never_o too_o much_o simp_n i_o doubt_v not_o but_o that_o it_o be_v as_o easy_a to_o commit_v a_o error_n the_o one_o way_n as_o the_o other_o salv_n i_o believe_v the_o author_n will_v answer_v the_o same_o now_o of_o these_o two_o kind_n of_o error_n which_o be_v contrary_n and_o into_o which_o the_o observator_n of_o the_o new_a star_n may_v equal_o have_v fall_v apply_v to_o calculation_n one_o sort_n will_v make_v the_o star_n high_o and_o the_o other_o low_a than_o real_o it_o be_v and_o because_o we_o have_v already_o agree_v that_o all_o the_o observation_n be_v false_a upon_o what_o ground_n will_v this_o author_n have_v we_o to_o accept_v those_o for_o most_o congruous_a with_o the_o truth_n that_o show_v the_o star_n to_o have_v be_v near_o at_o hand_n than_o the_o other_o that_o show_v it_o excessive_o remote_a simp_n by_o what_o i_o have_v as_o yet_o collect_v of_o the_o author_n mind_n i_o see_v not_o that_o he_o do_v refuse_v those_o observation_n and_o indagation_n that_o may_v make_v the_o star_n more_o remote_a than_o the_o moon_n and_o also_o than_o the_o sun_n but_o only_o those_o that_o make_v it_o remote_a as_o you_o yourself_o have_v say_v more_o than_o a_o infinite_a distance_n the_o which_o distance_n because_o you_o also_o do_v refuse_v it_o as_o impossible_a he_o also_o pass_v over_o as_o be_v convict_v of_o infinite_a falsehood_n as_o also_o those_o observation_n be_v of_o impossibility_n methinks_v therefore_o that_o if_o you_o will_v convince_v the_o author_n you_o ought_v to_o produce_v supputation_n more_o exact_a or_o more_o in_o number_n or_o of_o more_o diligent_a observer_n which_o constitute_v the_o star_n in_o such_o and_o such_o a_o distance_n above_o the_o moon_n or_o

you_o in_o one_o respect_n and_o the_o author_n in_o another_o i_o discover_v by_o your_o speech_n that_o you_o have_v form_v a_o conceit_n to_o yourself_o that_o the_o exorbitancy_n that_o be_v

it_o to_o be_v infer_v from_o such_o a_o observation_n that_o the_o distance_n of_o the_o star_n be_v infinite_a it_o be_v necessary_a that_o the_o error_n in_o observe_v be_v infinite_a and_o therefore_o not_o to_o be_v amend_v and_o as_o such_o to_o be_v refuse_v but_o the_o business_n do_v not_o succeed_v in_o that_o manner_n my_o simplicius_n and_o i_o excuse_v you_o for_o not_o have_v
